Palace Full of Delicacies

Chapter 41 Spicy Crab

Su Yu subconsciously looked down at his own clothes. He was wearing royal blue wide-sleeved casual clothes, without any exaggerated accessories, except for the outermost layer of velvet, which was a bit extravagant... Wait, leaving the palace?Su Yu suddenly realized that the emperor wanted to take him out of the palace!The corners of his mouth gradually opened, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't pretend to be affectionate there." An Hongche glanced at Su Yu who was smiling silly, "I have something important to do when I leave the palace, and I don't want to accompany you to see Lao Shizi's restaurant."

East Street is still as bustling as ever.

The crocodile silk is too precious, ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money, and they can't wear it out of the palace. Su Yu simply took off the outer gauze clothes, but the emperor was very dissatisfied and said that he was wearing too little, which made Eunuch Wang feel uncomfortable again. I found a cover for it.Although this piece is not as good as silk, it is also very valuable.The sapphire blue wide-sleeved shirt and the white jade glazed crown against Su Yu's gentle and handsome face attracted many girls to look back.

However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was so handsome and handsome, did not attract many smirks.Some people are born with luminous bodies, which attract everyone's attention, but when they are so dazzling that they can compete with the sun and the moon, people dare not look directly at them.

An Hongche didn't have the tone of a gentleman when he walked, his steps were unrestrained and firm, and there was an aura of "don't get close to strangers within three feet" all over his body, which was so strangely distinguished from the noisy sentient beings. Prestige, domineering nature.

Su Yu followed His Majesty the Emperor, quietly watching the man's back. No matter how irritable and awkward this man was in private, he was definitely a qualified emperor in front of others.

Stopping in front of a stall selling small jewelry, His Majesty the Emperor twirled a string of silver bells with a solemn expression, slowly stretched out his fingers, fiddled lightly, and fiddled again.

"Master, these bells are so beautiful, buy a bunch as a present for your sweetheart." The jewelry seller smiled sincerely.

An Hongche raised his head, looked at the aunt, then at the bell in his hand, raised his hand and threw it to the person behind him, "Here you are."

The aunt smiled and looked over, "The girl is really lucky..." The words got stuck in her mouth, and the bell fell into the hands of another person. The person was wearing a royal blue dress, with gentle eyes, handsome and charming, but really There is a man!

Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "My lord, this is an ornament for women."

"I bought it." His Majesty the Emperor said forcefully, and left without looking back.

"Oh, it's a heartfelt wish, my lord, don't let it down." The aunt came back to her senses, and realized that the white-clothed man probably wanted to buy it because of the phrase "sweetheart", and quickly persuaded Su Yu to accept it.

Because the royal family can marry male concubines, although the folks cannot marry male wives, they are very tolerant of men falling in love.

Let me down... Su Yu's whole face twitched. That guy must have bought it for fun, and he didn't intend to give it to him at all. Besides, even if he wanted to give it to him, how could the person who received the gift pay for it?

Silently paying out money to buy this bunch of gaudy silver bells, and throwing them into the basket in his arms, Su Yu recalled the sympathetic look in Eunuch Wang's eyes when he was leaving the palace when he gave him the money bag, and wanted to cry without tears.Just a short while after leaving the palace, His Majesty the Emperor has already bought two hydrangeas, three tassel pendants, a set of copper rings, a string of silver bells, and a pack of dried fish... No matter how you look at it, they are all for the sauce!

And because he thought it was embarrassing to hold them, he threw them all to him!

Who said just now that he was domineering?Who said he was a qualified emperor?Who said that!

Su Yu stared at the emperor's back of the jade tree facing the wind, took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and His Majesty was still wandering around, so the so-called "important thing" couldn't be buying cat toys?

Not far away is the Xianmantang, Su Yu was thinking how to turn the emperor there, so he could handle things by the way, "My lord, it's almost noon, where should we go for dinner?"

An Hongche took a look at Su Yu, who had a "follow me, follow me" face, "Let's go to your restaurant."

"Okay, the emperor... the lord will follow me." Su Yu was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of His Majesty the Emperor. He just realized that something was wrong. The emperor was wearing a narrow sleeve, so he pulled the sleeve. At first he was touching the emperor's hand, and he let it go quickly.

"Hmph." His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, secretly thinking that this stupid slave is really getting more and more arrogant, and he insisted on asking his master to speak out even though he wanted to go.The hand that was clasping the cuff with the backhand was held in the palm of the hand. Really, he even pulled his sleeve and acted like a baby. If you want him to hold the hand, just say so... Well, as a tolerant master, this little request for him Still will be satisfied.

The palm wrapped around the four fingers was warm and dry. Su Yu's fingertips couldn't help trembling. He was dragged by the emperor for a few steps in a daze. A passer-by on the side of the road watched them whispering timidly. Withdrawing his hand, his Majesty the Emperor gave him a dissatisfied stare.

"...It's time to go upstairs." Su Yu realized that his movement of pulling his hands was a bit abrupt, and pointed awkwardly at the wooden spiral staircase, which meant that it was inconvenient to hold hands when going upstairs.

"It doesn't matter." His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand, motioning for Su Yu to extend his hand, but the sudden withdrawal made him feel a little bit reluctant, and wanted to hold it for a while.

Su Yu looked at those stubborn beautiful eyes, but had no choice but to stretch out his hand again, grabbed the emperor and walked upstairs quickly.

The business of Xianmantang was still booming, the lobby was overcrowded, His Majesty the Emperor became impatient after standing for a while, Su Yu hurriedly dragged him to the back kitchen courtyard.

I just bought a bucket of fresh swimming crabs in the back kitchen. Except for the basket of peppers I got last time, I took out the ones grown in the village, and the remaining half has been kept in the back kitchen.Su Yu remembered what he had promised the emperor last night, so he picked out a few crabs, took the chili peppers, and cooked a spicy crab for the emperor himself.

Stir-fried sweet potatoes, peanuts, red crabs with burnt peppers, fragrant spicy crab broth, and seasonal fresh vegetables, the taste is indescribable.

His Majesty the Emperor poked the crab on the plate with his chopsticks, curled his lips in contempt.Swimming crabs are low-quality crabs, with a lot of shell and little meat, and it is difficult to eat. This kind of crab is basically not seen in the palace.Moreover, usually the crab is eaten whole, but Su Yu chopped it into pieces, it was ugly to death.

"It's not a good ingredient, but it's definitely delicious." Su Yu smiled and picked a crab leg for him.

Pursing his thin lips lightly, An Hongche slowly put the crab legs into his mouth, with a look of "Seeing how pitiful you are, I will force myself to eat it".

In his previous life, Su Yu was the first to learn how to cook spicy crabs. He has mastered the ingredients and heat so well that even ordinary swimming crabs can be cooked with extreme delicacy.

After the emperor ate a crab leg, he stopped talking and started eating one chopstick after another.

After setting up His Majesty the Emperor, Su Yu seized the time to look at the recent cooking skills of the two apprentices, and reconciled the accounts with Mr. Yuan.

This month, because Su Yu was not in the shop, the two young apprentices could cook a limited variety of dishes. Although the business was not bad, there were no surprises. After all, they could give Su Yu 180 taels of silver.Take out part of it and send it to the Su family to hand over to the aunt, and pack the rest, and take it with you when you are going back to the palace.

"These are a few villages outside the city. I've gone to see them all, and I'm somewhat dissatisfied. I can't make up my mind." Mr. Yuan took out a booklet, which recorded the general conditions of several farms, the number of fields, and the terrain. , The asking price is very detailed.

Mr. Yuan asked Mr. Yuan to buy a farm, one is to make a living for his aunt and concubine, and the other is to try to grow peppers. Su Yu doesn't know how to farm, so he is at a loss as to how to choose this farm, "Mr. Just gotta buy it before the end of this month so we can plant the peppers."

It's hot now, and it's easy to grow peppers, but it will be difficult when the weather gets cold later.

Mr. Yuan nodded, "Zhuangzi bought it and asked someone to take care of it. Does the empress have a reliable servant at home?"

"Sir, don't call me your lady." Su Yu said with a bitter face. These days in the palace, he was called "your lady" and "your lady". Son!

Mr. Yuan took a sneak peek at the young man in white who was sitting and eating crabs not far away, and immediately understood, "I've made a mistake." His identity is self-evident.After all, Mr. Yuan was a guest of Prince Zhao's Mansion. He had seen the world, so he naturally knew that the emperor could not make a fuss when he went out of the palace in micro-clothes, so he pretended that the emperor was just following his master's family for a meal, and didn't even say hello.

Although Mr. Yuan's idea is quite different from Su Yu's original intention, as long as he is no longer called "Niang Niang", Su Yu will be satisfied. "There are still a few things to entrust to Mr...." Su Yu was a little embarrassed when he said this. , now he has no manpower available, so he has to trouble Mr. Yuan for everything, but his time out of the palace is limited, and there are too many things to do, even if it is said at this moment, there are still so many things to know, and there is no way to start.

"Are you finished?" Just as he was talking, His Majesty the Emperor finally stood up unbearably, lifted Su Yu up, and threw him to the stone table, "Eat!" He gave Mr. Yuan a serious look.

Su Yu was in a hurry to arrange things and didn't even have the time to eat. He turned to look at Mr. Yuan, only to find that he had disappeared.

"You left the palace just to get these?" An Hongche pointed to a small pile of silver on the table.

"Yes." Mr. Yuan ran away, and Su Yu could only honestly pick up his rice bowl. After two mouthfuls of spicy appetizers, he felt hungry immediately.

"Such a small amount of money is worth your trip?" An Hongche frowned.

"For my minister, this little money is of great use." Su Yu couldn't help but glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, who had eaten up all his hard-earned money, and was still making sarcastic remarks here.

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, looked at Su Yu, then at the scattered silver, his thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line, "You are short of money, why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm a man, so naturally I should support my family by myself." Su Yu bit open a crab claw and sucked out the crab meat.In fact, if the seafood in the palace was not too expensive, he would be more than happy to buy food for the emperor, so that he could secretly think that he was the one who raised the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became unhappy, "You belong to me, and it's only right for me to support you!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The crab claws rotted a bit when they were fried, and the chili oil was poured in, and the meat and juice were sucked out in one gulp, choking Su Yu immediately.
