Palace Full of Delicacies

King Ling was very surprised to see that Su Yu chose the straw basket. It was something he got by chance from a fan, and he always thought it was a kind of medicinal material. what is that?"

The rest of the people had finished their explanations, each of them was talking grandiosely and worrying about the country and the people, but Su Yu kept his head down and didn't come back to his senses until he was called on.

After all, he will sell this thing in the future, so naturally he can't lie, and he doesn't know much about the taboos of this dynasty, so maybe he made a mistake in saying that sentence, so Su Yu could only tell the truth: "Qi My lord, this is an ingredient."

"Ingredients?" Ling Wang picked up a chili pepper and asked near his nose. The spicy breath rushed into his nose, and he couldn't help sneezing, "How do you know?" This is the first time he has seen this thing. How could Su Yu know? The Seventeenth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Su Yu with scrutiny.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, could it be that there is something involved in this thing, if it is related to state secrets, then he will die unjustly.

"Back to the lord, there is an ancestral cookbook in Caomin's family, which mentions this kind of thing. This thing is called chili pepper. It is a single seasoning that can make an extremely rare delicacy." There is always time to think about a lie, not to mention that the person who is being fooled is still the powerful Prince.

"Really?" King Ling's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Brother Thirteen. They noticed Su Yu's family background yesterday, and remembered that he is a descendant of the Su family. The Su family's dishes have been lost for several generations, " Tell me what kind of dishes it can be used for, if it is really useful, I will get some more."

Su Yu's heart moved, and he looked up at His Royal Highness Ling who was very curious. The geographical environment of this time and space is different from what he is familiar with. He is not sure that pepper seeds can be grown here in the capital. Uncle Huang cooperated, thinking about this, Su Yu took out the posture of talking about business, and introduced the dishes related to chili in detail: "This stuff can drive away cold and dampness, and it is used to prepare cold and cool things, especially fish, shrimp, and crabs. It is extremely delicious, and can be made into spicy crab, spicy shrimp, boiled fish, spicy crayfish, spicy grilled whole fish..."

When talking about Sichuan cuisine, Su Yu started talking endlessly, which made Ling Wang's eyes straighten, and the clerk beside him wrote down everything verbatim.

After Su Yu finished speaking, the competition for the final selection was over, and the servants presented the selected objects and records to the national teacher, and they also had the honor to go to An Guo Pagoda to wait for the national teacher's comments.

Anguo Pagoda, soaring into the sky, only the first floor is three feet high.

The body of the tower is made of a very precious black stone, with faint golden spots glowing in the sunlight.The heavy door was open, and a maid in a light-colored dress saluted everyone and led them into the main hall on the first floor.

The main hall is not as solemn and solemn as everyone thinks, it is even very beautiful here.The huge straight pillars support the dome, on which a complicated star map is drawn, and layers of snow gauze are hung in the hall, making this place look like a fairyland.The stone steps leading to the top of the pagoda are paved with the same black stone, and they spiral up, which is similar to the wooden ladder in Xianmantang.

People other than the royal family are not allowed to set foot above the main hall on the first floor of the Anguo Tower. Originally, they could bring things to the tower to the national teacher, but the son of the Duke of Lu chose a green horse. Naturally, such a big animal cannot contaminate the sacred high level of the Anguo Tower. Everyone can only wait quietly in the hall.

"Dinglingling..." A clear and distant ringing sound came from the spiraling stone steps. The sound seemed very close, like an intimate whisper in the ear; but also seemed far away, carrying the desolation passed down from ancient times.

At this moment, people couldn't help but feel an impulse to pay respects, and everyone in the hall bowed in unison: "I pay homage to the national teacher." Even the two princes bowed their heads.

A person dressed in a complicated and gorgeous snow-colored robe walked down the stairs and slowly walked up to the throne in the hall.

Su Yu didn't dare to raise his head casually, he only raised his head when he heard an extremely pleasant voice "Wai Li" from above his head.

With white hair like snow and picturesque eyebrows, he is handsome and desolate, not like a real person.Su Yu was shocked. He always thought that the national teacher was an old man with a sense of demeanor. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a handsome man in his 20s. If his white hair grew on other people, he would look old, but on him , suddenly turned into a misty fairy air.

The servant presented several pieces of recorded silk cloth to the national teacher, and Su Yu suddenly felt that his whole body was not well.

In this situation, in such a fairy-like national teacher, other people's explanations are either eloquent heroic ambitions, or touching stories that are like crying, or a hymn to Da'an full of flowers, but his is A Sichuan-flavored seafood recipe...

I always feel that it spoils the atmosphere...

Sure enough, the national teacher just glanced at the silk cloth in front of him, then snorted coldly: "Who is Su Yu?"

Su Yu quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Can you prove that what you just said is true?" The national teacher twisted a piece of dried chili in his hand, and his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "This thing is related to the fate of the country. If you make up nonsense, I will punish you today to bring disaster to the country." crime."

Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat, he really didn't understand how a basket of peppers could cause so many troubles, but now is obviously not the time to complain, if the national teacher decides that he is a person who is a disaster for the country, he has the right to execute him now!

Suddenly, Su Yu calmed down. He didn't do anything wrong. At most, he could prove it to these country bumpkins. He took a deep breath and said in a calm voice, "Report to the national teacher, what the grass people said is true. Some fish and cooking utensils from the grassroots can prove it."

Everyone watched the development of the matter dumbfounded. When the waiters brought out a complete set of cooking utensils and two big fishes that were alive and kicking, their eyeballs were about to fall out.

Su Yu didn't know how he developed to this stage, but he could only take one step at a time.Pick up the grass carp in the water, knock it out, quickly kill the fish and remove the scales, and then slice it into thin skins at an extremely fast speed.

For a quick and delicious Sichuan dish, boiled fish is a must.It doesn't need to be marinated for a long time, and it can be put into the pot after preparing other materials.The fresh, white and smooth fish meat is covered with brown peppercorns and bright red dried chili peppers. When hot oil is poured on it, the spicy and delicious aroma explodes instantly, filling the entire hall.

At this time, the national teacher who had been beautifully closed slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked up to the second floor.

"Give this king a taste!" Seeing the national teacher leaving, King Ling couldn't hold back immediately, and stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth.The fresh and tender meat is paired with a spicy taste, the kind of fresh fragrance that the Seventeenth Prince almost bit his own tongue.

King Su frowned, and snatched the chopsticks from his younger brother's hand: "The general election is not over, let's get down to business first." As he said, he took a piece of fish and tasted it.

Just as he was talking, the national teacher suddenly sent a message that this thing should not be tampered with, and abruptly snatched a pot full of boiled fish from the hands of the two princes.

"This is mine, no one is allowed to eat it!" In the main hall on the second floor, An Hongche, dressed in bright yellow uniform, pulled a basin of fish to his side.

"Then there's no way to judge, let's just let it go." The national teacher stroked the white hair at the temples leisurely.

"The emperor's uncle can eat it." His Majesty the emperor reluctantly let go, and just stared coldly at the national teacher opposite.

The national teacher ignored him, and slowly picked up the fish and ate it, "Is this the reason why you said you must choose him?"

"It's up to you to choose, I don't care about it!" An Hongche snorted coldly, and walked away.

Seeing the golden figure leaping down from the huge window, Master Guoshi slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Go down and declare."

Everyone waited for a long time in the hall, and finally received the comment from the national teacher.Whether it is poems or songs or heroes' blood and tears, the great national teacher mercilessly gave "Xia Xia" a pertinent evaluation, and praised: "It's all nonsense"!

Only Su Yu got a "fair" comment, and he was allowed to serve in the palace.

Su Yu held a basket of peppers in a daze, completely dumbfounded.
