spring and autumn officials

Ji Lin didn't know what Qi Lu was thinking, so he dragged Qi Lu into the banquet, and said, "Quick, Taifu, come and taste it, this taste is also good, let's fill your stomach first."

Ji Lin had just eaten a bunch of roasted gluten, and there were still a few skewers left in Chengpan, Ji Lin said: "The widow specially left it for Taifu, Taifu will try it."

Qi Lv glanced at Mao Si who was serving at the side, and her expression was quite "neither humble nor overbearing", she stood beside her in full duty, but her back was straight, as if she had never done anything wrong.

Qi Lu thanked the Son of Heaven, then sat down at the banquet, and sure enough picked up the roasted gluten in Chengpan, took a tentative bite, it tasted almost the same as Qi Lu's, the sauce on the roasted gluten was the same Well, it's not bad, but the gluten is a bit dry after roasting. The gluten is already chewy, and the roasted gluten is a bit difficult to bite. If you eat too much, it may hurt your stomach or feel pain in your cheeks.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Teacher, is it still delicious?"

Qi Lv smiled, and Yan Si had already said beforehand: "The maid does not dare to show shame in front of everyone, but she just has a sudden whim, and if she studies it casually, she will definitely not be able to get into the eyes of the Taifu."

The corners of Qi Lu's lips twitched slightly, well, before she could open her mouth, Mo Si blocked the conversation, which clearly meant that she came up with this roasted gluten by herself.

In fact, this snack of roasted gluten was not created by Qi Lu, anyone can make it the same, but Yan Si obviously learned Qi Lu's craft secretly, but she insisted on swollen face to pretend to be fat, saying that she came up with it herself. This is too much.

The first green plum to make milk, in fact, Qi Lu originally wanted to use milk, although most people drink goat milk in this era, but Qi Lu is a master at any rate, so he must be able to get some milk, and the sheep shoulder is recorded in the recipe It's milk, not cow's milk or goat's milk, so Mao Si made goat's milk-flavored green plum stuffed milk.

Okay, let’s say that the first time was a coincidence. After all, such things as green plums and milk were invented by people, and they couldn’t just fall out of thin air. Mao Si is a food wizard, and he came up with the network of green plums and milk thousands of years ahead of time. red drink.

But what about this second time?Is it a coincidence the second time?It really doesn't make sense, Qi Lu doesn't believe in such a dramatic coincidence.

Qi Lv didn't say whether the food made by Yan Si was delicious or not, but asked kindly, "Miss Yan Si, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making roasted gluten?"

Ji Lin didn't know why, and didn't understand the twists and turns. Hearing Qi Lu's question, he also became interested, and said, "To Si, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this kind of snack? It tastes spicy, but it's really interesting."

Yan Si's face froze, he hesitated, her eyes rolled slightly, and she seemed to have quickly found a countermeasure, so she said: "Returning to the emperor's words, and returning to the Taifu's words, the servant girl also has the honor of the Taifu, because the Taifu A few days ago, Fu made the gluten in Liangpi, so Mo Si was greatly inspired. He felt that this kind of gluten is very refreshing and springy. If it is baked and mixed with spicy sauce, it will definitely be more delicious, so he came up with it. This baked gluten snack."

She said, suddenly knelt down to plead guilty, and said: "The servant girl has no intention of spoiling the gluten made by the Taifu. It's just a sudden whim, and she is very happy with the meal. If she doesn't take care of the meal for a day, her heart and eyes will start to itch. I can't bear it." I couldn’t help it, so I boldly made this roasted gluten, and please don’t blame the master!”

When Qi Lu heard it, it was really good. The angry Qi Lu almost laughed out loud. There was really no way out.

He has never seen a person like Yan Si, who puts money on his face and insists on claiming that he created it openly and secretly after taking advantage of it.Not only that, but also ran against Qi Lv with private work.It must be that Qi Lu knew that Qi Lu would make things difficult for her at any time, so she couldn't wait to act first. If Qi Lu really made troubles, it seemed that Qi Lu was deliberately making things difficult for her, not a man!

Qi Lv chuckled lightly, the meaning was unclear, but he didn't open his mouth to expose Mao Si.

It was such a coincidence that the first time the green plums were brewed with milk was a coincidence, the second time the roasted gluten was invented by Mao Si himself, and the third time, it was a hit.

On the second day, when the emperor was eating at noon, he brought out a stack of preserved eggs!

Qi Lu wanted to marinate preserved eggs a few days ago, but his preserved eggs have not been marinated yet, and he almost "fired". Who would have thought that Yansi's speed is also fast, and he has already marinated preserved eggs, as if he has calculated it Usually, before Qi Lv, he took out the preserved egg with complete precision and presented it to the emperor Ji Lin.

At lunch at noon, Ji Lin also invited Qi Lv to have a meal together, and Mo Si brought up a small preserved egg from Chengpan. Spread out, it looks fabulous.

The moment Qi Lu saw the preserved eggs, only the word "sure enough" remained in his mind.

If the first time was a coincidence, and the second time was an accident, then the third time there is no coincidence or accident at all.

After all, marinating preserved eggs is like ordering tofu, which requires the use of "impossible ingredients" in this era, so Qi Lu is sure that it is impossible to make it with the "intelligence" of Mao Si.

On that day, Qi Lu asked Xi Yangjian to write a recipe. The recipe only wrote about the process of marinating preserved eggs, but did not describe how to eat preserved preserved eggs. Speaking of preserved preserved eggs, preserved eggs and lean meat porridge, cold preserved preserved eggs, Preserved eggs mixed with tofu are all delicious and delicious.

It's just that Mao Si obviously didn't have this kind of brains, so she cut up the preserved eggs, put them on a plate, and sent them to Ji Lin. There was no sauce or seasoning, and it seemed that she wanted the emperor to eat them.

Qi Lv was very calm. If someone saw these three dishes in front of him, he might be very angry. He wished he could just step forward and tear the face of this green tea bitch, Mao Si, instead of looking at her. How thick-skinned!

But Qi Lu is not the case, Qi Lu is very calm.

Because he knew that he had only one recipe without any proof, and Mao Si cooked all the dishes in his head, and even asked the emperor to eat them. If he came out to make trouble, wouldn't he be a troublemaker?According to Mao Si's temperament, she wanted to say something wronged by herself, but it was not happy.

Besides, if you can't kill with a single sword, the result will be more trouble. Qi Lu is a person who hates trouble very much.

Qi Lu raised his lips and smiled, thinking to himself, let you be embarrassed for a while.

Ji Lin had never seen preserved eggs like this before, as if "opening his eyes", he said, "Is this dark thing really edible?"

Before Mao Si could speak, Qi Lv was already smiling, imitating Mao Si's tone, and said, "The Son of Heaven doesn't know, this food is called Preserved Eggs, or Preserved Eggs."

"Oh?" Ji Lin immediately attracted Qi Lu's attention, and said, "The Yuan Taifu also knows this thing? I thought it was created by Yan Si."

Mao Si wanted to interrupt again, with an expression of reconciliation, Qi Lv had been prepared for a long time, and continued to imitate Mao Si's tone of voice the previous two times, that "green tea smell", let alone it, was vivid.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "How could this food be created by Mao Si? In fact, in Lu's hometown, there was already this kind of food."

Yan Si gritted her back teeth, lost the opportunity, and didn't know how to return her eloquence.Qi Lv continued: "When I want to come here, the girl only knows one thing, but not the other. She doesn't know where she learned the method of making preserved eggs, but she doesn't know how to process the preserved eggs so that the deliciousness can be fully released. .”

Ji Lin urged, "Teacher, in your opinion, how should you cook preserved eggs?"

Unexpectedly, the first two times were all good, but the third time she stumbled. Suddenly there was an accident, and the boat capsized in the gutter. It was obviously preserved preserved eggs by herself, but the emperor looked at Qi Lv eagerly. Explain preserved eggs.

Feeling aggrieved in her heart, Mao Si bit her lips. How did she know that her "grievance" was just the beginning, and Qi Lu would fight back first, and let her taste the hurricane of bitch!

Qi Lu laughed so much that he called "tea fragrance overflowing", and said: "If you return to the emperor, this preserved egg can be used for cooking porridge. The preserved egg has a unique fragrance and complements the shredded lean meat. When boiled in porridge, the egg yolk is mellow and fragrant. The egg skin is tender, and the rice fragrance is strong."

Ji Lin asked curiously, "Can it be more delicious than seafood porridge?"

Seeing that Ji Lin's eyes were shining, Qi Lu couldn't help but smiled, this time it was a real smile, because the emperor is a foodie, he simply "turned pale when talking about eating".

Qi Lv explained: "The Son of Heaven does not know that seafood porridge pays attention to a fresh taste. The aquatic product is delicious, but it is a cold food. Many old people and children should not eat more. But it is not easy to eat aquatic products if there is a wound. Or, some people are dissatisfied with aquatic products, so although seafood porridge is delicious, it is not advisable to eat too much.”

Dissatisfaction is actually what is called allergy in modern times. Many people are allergic to seafood, not a few.

Qi Lu also said: "But preserved egg and lean meat porridge is different. Although preserved eggs and lean meat are not considered expensive, they complement each other and stimulate each other's aroma. The ingredients are simple and homely, and they taste endless aftertaste."

When Ji Lin heard what he said, his stomach growled, and he lost interest in the "dry" preserved eggs in an instant, and wanted to eat the preserved eggs and lean meat porridge that Qi Lu said.

Qi Lu still had something to say, and said with a smile: "In addition to making porridge, preserved eggs can also be served with fish sauce sauce, etc., to season cold salads. This preserved egg is delicious, especially the egg yolk has an indescribable fragrance. But the egg yolk is too greasy to eat, and it will be different if it is served with fish sauce sauce. It is greasy and refreshing, which is suitable for the hot summer. If you have no appetite, roll the preserved egg in the sauce and eat it cold, it will greatly stimulate your appetite. "

Ji Lin listened, his trouble was not lack of appetite, but too much appetite!

Qi Lu didn't finish his words, he said: "Perserved eggs can also be mixed with tofu. The tofu is soft and smooth, and the preserved eggs are tough and mellow. They are also very refreshing and refreshing."

The hype that Qi Lv said is so colorful, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Qi Lv must not be lying, this preserved egg must have been there earlier, otherwise how could Qi Lv compile so many ways to eat preserved eggs off the shelf, and Yan Si just put Cut the preserved egg and serve it to the emperor?

Yan Si bit her lip, and was taken by Qi Lu, but couldn't utter any rebuttals, so she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Ji Lin said with a smile: "I wonder if I have a good taste. At noon, try the preserved egg and lean meat porridge that the Taifu said?"

Qi Lv said: "The Son of Heaven wants to eat porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat. What's so difficult about it? It takes only a moment."

After Qi Lu agreed, he quickly withdrew and prepared to cook preserved egg and lean meat porridge for the emperor to eat.As soon as he backed out, Mao Si also chased him out, looked around, and seemed to be looking for Qi Lv's figure.

"Miss Yansi, are you looking for Lu?"

Suddenly, a "tea fragrance is overflowing" laughter came from behind, and Meng Si was startled, turned her head suddenly, and saw Qi Lu.

Not only Qi Lu, but also the little gentleman from Zheng Guo to sacrifice teeth.

Ji Ya held a two-finger-thick whip in his hand, sneered "hum hum", waved it indiscriminately, and hit the air with a "pop" sound, as if to tear the sky apart. After a few steps, he said timidly, "The servant girl has seen Taifu Qi, and I have seen the little gentleman sacrificed."

Ji Ya sneered, and said in a vicious voice, "I don't like you a long time ago, it's green...Brother, what's the matter?"

Qi Lu reminded: "Green tea flavor."

"That's right!" Ji Ya said again: "It smells like green tea! Let's catch one! My brother makes milk with green plums, and you also make milk with green plums. My brother roasts gluten, and you say it's you Originally created, how do you say now, the preserved eggs are also from your family? I know, the preserved eggs must be laid by you!"

Qi Lu: "..."

Yan Si pursed her lips, with a mournful expression on her face, as if she had been greatly wronged, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Little gentleman, I don't know... what are you talking about!"

"Still pretending to be stupid!" Ji Ya said in a cold voice, "We caught you, and you still don't admit it?"

Mao Si said, "This... this preserved egg is also... also learned by the maid from my hometown."

"Oh?" Qi Lu smiled slightly and said, "What a coincidence, the two of us are still fellow villagers?"

Yan Si insisted that she learned it from her hometown, but she didn't let go, and said to Ji Ya: "I think if she doesn't get beaten, she won't have a long memory!"

Yan Si bit her lip and said: "Little gentleman Ji, although you are a noble gentleman, but... but the servant girl will not be beaten into a trick. If the little gentleman Ji insists on framing the maidservant as a thief, it will be a big deal to make trouble in front of the emperor. Let the Son of Heaven be the master of this maidservant!"

"You!" Ji Yaqi's hair wished to stand up, and said: "Okay! Okay! Then make trouble in front of the emperor, whoever is afraid of whom, let's go!"

Yan Si didn't seem to be afraid at all. Qi Lu squinted his eyes, knowing that Yan Si was confident. After all, Qi Lu had no evidence, and Yan Si could fool everything.If this was brought up in front of the emperor, Qi Lv was the grand tutor, and Yan Si was a maidservant, and those with bare feet were not afraid of wearing shoes, who would be embarrassed?Naturally, Qi Lu didn't look good.

Qi Lv stopped Ji Ya, and Ji Ya seemed to smile a bit, Ji Ya became even more angry, pointing at Ji Ya with the whip, he said, "She's still laughing! Laughing!"

Just then, someone passed by, and it was Zheng Ji who heard the voice outside the tent and came out to see what was going on. Zheng Ji came over, seemed to be thinking twice, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, stop arguing, Ji has seen everything."

Ji Ya immediately said: "Auntie, what did you see? Did you see this shameless maid stealing the Taifu's recipe?"

There was a "thump" in her heart, she didn't expect Zheng Ji to come out and make trouble at this time.

Zheng Ji didn't seem to want to say it, but after thinking about it, she still said: "That day Ji was in the small dining room..."

Since Qi Lu promised Zheng Ji that she could enter the small dining room, Zheng Ji came every day, and then Qi Lu stopped coming because she was busy with summer hunting. The small dining room seemed to be Zheng Ji's world, and she was studying cheese every day. method.

Zheng Ji was also in the small dining room that day. She came early, and it happened to be raining a little in summer, so the maid beside her was afraid that Zheng Ji would catch a cold, so she hurried back to get her cloak, leaving Zheng Ji alone. Small dining room.

It was still early, Zheng Ji stayed in the dining room alone, and soon heard a sound, it was the sound of 跫, and many cooks who delivered food came to the small dining room.Zheng Ji was an unmarried young lady, and there happened to be no maidservants around her, so she didn't dare to show her face in front of so many cooks, so she subconsciously hid.

The cooks came to deliver vegetables and meat, and added fresh ingredients. At this time, the lamb shoulder also entered the small dining room. According to Qi Lv's order, the lamb shoulder came to show the cooks the recipe, and let the cooks follow the instructions. The ingredients for the recipe preparation are all that Taifu Qi will use.

Since milk and pickled preserved eggs are not commonly used, it takes a while for cooks to prepare.

At that time, the goat shoulder was talking to the cooks, so they put the recipe on the table, and then went out to pick the ingredients. Zheng Ji hid in the innermost part of the small dining room, but they didn't find it.

"Later..." Zheng Ji murmured, "Later... Ji saw Mao Si coming in, sneaked in, took the cookbook to read, and ran away again when the cooks didn't come back."

Yan Si peeked at Qi Lu's recipe, but was caught by someone unexpectedly!

Zheng Ji has been "poisoned" too deeply, so she doesn't like to talk on weekdays. She is very gentle and a little bit reasonable. She doesn't like to speak ill of others behind their backs, and she doesn't want to point out anyone.That day she saw Yan Si peeking at the cookbook, but she didn't really pay attention to it. To be honest, Zheng Ji couldn't wait to read every time Taifu Qi released a new cookbook, but she never expected that Yan Si would be Concealing evil intentions, in order to show off her abilities in front of the emperor, she lied that these were all created by herself.

Ji Ya smiled "haha" and said, "We got the stolen goods together, and we still have witnesses. I'll see how you deny it! You're so shameless!"

But Yansi suddenly smiled, and she didn't see the panic just now, and said: "My lords are really joking with the maidservant. The maidservant just made a few snacks and was praised by the emperor. The world knows how to prepare meals. People, you are not just Taifu Qi, if the Taifu is jealous, there is no need to run on the little girl as a maid, right?"

"You!" Ji Ya was furious and his wrists trembled. In comparison, Qi Lu was much calmer when he heard her confuse black and white.

Mao Si said again: "Who knows if the maid made the snacks first, and Taifu Qi wrote the recipes later? You are the Taifu, and the maidservant is just a palace maid. I really dare not compete with the Taifu for anything."

Ji Ya said: "Okay, okay! You have sharp teeth, so what about my aunt? How can you sophistry if you take the stolen goods and get them?"

Yan Si smiled and said: "Little gentleman Ji is also joking. If you say something disrespectful, who doesn't know that Zheng Ji is detested by the emperor, so she sent her back to Zheng State in full body, and the maidservant The son is the first woman of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid Zheng Ji is jealous of the servant girl, so she lied that the servant girl peeked at Taifu Qi's recipe?"

"You..." Zheng Ji couldn't believe it, and she blushed, and said, "You...how could you say such shameless words."

Yan Si's ability to reverse right and wrong into black and white is so perfect that even Zheng Ji, who has always been very gentle, got angry with her, and she was even said to have a temper like a firecracker.

But at this time, Qi Lu smiled, as if he didn't take it seriously, and said: "Okay, now it's time for lunch, Zheng Ji and my brother should not get angry over such a trivial matter, if they get angry, All the food you eat will be stored in your stomach, and you will get sick."

Ji Ya was not convinced, and said: "Brother, what are you afraid of her!? I don't believe that she is just a little maid, but if she makes a fuss in front of the emperor, she can turn her back!"

Qi Lv shook his head and made trouble in front of the emperor?For a few skewers of gluten and a few cups of greengage stuffed with milk?It's not worth it either.It wasn't that Qi Luqing was afraid of Mao Si, but that Qi Luqing was promoted too quickly, and so many people took advantage of his mistake, because of the trouble caused by eating and drinking, people took advantage of the loopholes, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Qi Lv looked at Yan Si, without any anger on his face, he was very good-natured, and said, "Dear brother, let me teach you, if a dog suddenly bites you, why don't you bite it back?"

Yan Si was taken aback for a moment, her face flushed immediately, Qi Lu obviously called her a dog.

Before Bao Si could speak, Qi Lv waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the Son of Heaven is still waiting for porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. Don't you want to try this too, I'll cook the porridge for you."

Qi Lu asked the maid to send Zheng Ji back, Qi Lu and Ji Ya entered the dining room, Ji Ya was still not convinced, and said: "Brother, if you didn't stop me just now, I really want to bite that dog!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of laughter. He turned his head and saw that it was the grandson and grandson who had come in. He said with a smile, "Bite a dog? It is very in line with the temperament of a little gentleman."

Ji Ya glanced at Gongsun Zidu with disgust, but ignored him.

Qi Lu comforted and said: "Be good, brother, don't be angry, I'll give you more porridge later."

Ji Ya snorted and said, "I want to drink one more bowl than the emperor!"

Qi Lu was a little helpless, shook his head, and said to Ji Ya, "Is this how you let Mao Si go?"

Qi Lv said with a smile: "Qi Si is so good at crying, if she makes a fuss in front of the emperor, it will inevitably rain with pear blossoms. Could it be that the little gentleman wants to cry in front of the emperor?"

"Hey," Ji Ya said with complete disdain, "I don't cry, I never cried when I was born in a mother's womb!"

Gongsunzi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said: "That's not necessarily true, the little gentleman... cried very hard that day."

that day?Ji Ya looked confused and said, "What day? Are you dreaming, why don't I know?"

Gongsunzi raised his eyebrows again, and said to Qi Lv without saying anything, "It seems that the Taifu already has a way to punish Mao Si?"

Qi Lu nodded and said, "Those who know me are none other than Gongsunzi."

Ji Ya was not happy anymore, he pushed Gongsun Zidu to stand aside, and said to Qi Lu, "What is the solution?"

Qi Lu smiled faintly, and said, "Qian Si's hands and feet are not clean, doesn't she like to steal? And she has already torn her face, do you think she still has any scruples?"

According to Yan Si's character, she will inevitably continue to "compete" with Qi Lu in front of the emperor, and will definitely rush to develop delicious food before Qi Lu in various ways to please the emperor.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "How about...I'll give her a cookbook as a big gift."

Ji Lin ate porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, and served cold preserved egg and preserved egg tofu. It was a delight to eat. It can be seen that Ji Lin also likes to drink porridge, but to be honest, there are very few things that the Son of Heaven does not like. thing……

Seeing that Qi Lu didn't expose her, Yan Si thought that Qi Lu really had nothing to do with her, and didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. After suffering from being dumb, she became more and more wanton, especially when she always went to Zheng Ji to show it off, as if she had She became the hostess of the Zhou royal family.

To tell the truth, Zheng Ji really didn't like the emperor, she grew up with the emperor, it was a brother-sister relationship, very pure, but no matter how good-tempered Zheng Ji was, she was always provoked by Mao Si, and she was very angry.

Qi Lu's plan started soon. Qi Lu found the lamb shoulder and asked him to write a recipe. This time the delicious name was called - Mutton Steamed Bread.

Everyone has never eaten mutton steamed buns, but they think it is very fresh.This mutton steamed bun actually had a predecessor in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was called "Yangkan". Yangkan has always been a delicacy for paying tribute to the emperor, and both the soup and the ingredients are very particular.

The mutton steamed bun is an improved version of yokan, on the basis of yokan, steamed buns are added.

Qi Lv dictated how to make mutton steamed buns, and asked the lamb shoulder to make a recipe, and finally said with a smile: "The most important thing about this mutton steamed bun is to add three big spoonfuls of mutton soup to the soup when it is cooked. Thick stone honey!"

Yan Yangjian's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Shi...Shi Mi? Grand Tutor, are you right? Shi Mi?"

Qi Lv nodded, with a sly smile on his face, and said: "That's right, it's stone honey. It must be covered with thick stone honey on top of the mutton steamed bun, so that you can see the true taste of the mutton steamed bun!"

Since ancient times, although there are many foods made from mutton, sweet mutton is very rare.The most famous sweet mutton is the delicacy of old Beijing "It's like honey".It is said that when Cixi was eating a sweet dish, she praised "it is like honey", hence the name.It is like honey but mutton, with a sweet and sour taste. The sweet and sour taste can remove the fishy smell of mutton.

But its honey-like taste also pays attention to the sweetness in the sourness. This sour taste is very important, otherwise the mutton is already fishy, ​​and with the thick honey, the sweetness will only encourage the taste of the fishy smell, infinitely magnifying the fishy smell.

Therefore, when Yan Yangjian heard that Qi Lv said that he wanted to put thick stone honey, he was immediately stunned. Although he didn't know how to prepare meals, he also knew that it was a little weird to eat sweet mutton?

But Qi Lu swore: "No mistake, thick stone honey, the more the better."

Yang Yang's shoulders and eyelids twitched, and he drew the recipe according to Qi Lu's words, and then Qi Lu put on a creepy smile and said, "Little Yang, you went out with the recipe and accidentally threw it away."

"Accidentally?" The lamb shoulder was a bit difficult, how could I accidentally throw away the recipe?

Qi Lu said again: "Remember, you must be careless. You must not look deliberate. Be very careless, so that the green tea-flavored mice will take the bait."

Yi Yangjian's eyelids kept twitching, because he really wanted to ask the master, how did you know that the mouse smelled of green tea?

Qi Lv set up a game and waited quietly for Mao Si to take the bait. When Mao Si saw the recipe that was accidentally lost by the sheep shoulder, she would definitely rush to make this extremely ridiculous version of sweet mutton steamed buns before Qi Lv. Dedicated to the Son of Heaven.

But Qi Lu knew that Yan Si was not stupid, not only not stupid, but also very smart, so she would definitely taste the mutton steamed buns she made first, and if she tasted the sweet taste, she would definitely not pay tribute. There is a crucial link here.

That is haste and haste.

It was necessary to urge Mao Si vigorously, so that she had no time to taste the steamed mutton, and served it directly to the emperor.

Today, the army has set up camp. After today, tomorrow the army will enter the territory of Zheng State, and then they will camp in Zheng State.

As usual, the Son of Heaven invited Qi Lu to enter the Son of Heaven's camp. Qi Lu reported their itinerary to the Son of Heaven, bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Tomorrow the army will enter the Kingdom of Zheng and stay in the capital of the Kingdom of Zheng."

The place of Jingyi is in the middle of Zheng Guo and Luoshi, and it is the only way for Luoshi to Zheng Guo. Jingyi also has another name, which is called Jingcheng.

But don’t get me wrong, the capital doesn’t mean the capital, it’s just called “Jing”.Speaking of the capital city, it is also famous.Just two years ago, a huge event happened in the capital, and that was the story of "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not meet each other".

Zheng Boweisheng's biological mother had two sons, one was Zheng Bowusheng, and the other was called Shuduan.Because when Zheng Boweisheng was born, his feet came out first and his head came out later, so Zheng Bowusheng's mother was frightened, so he was named Wusheng, and he hated Wusheng very much.And the younger son, Shu Duan, was born in a normal delivery, so he loves the younger son because of this, and spoils the younger son in everything.

Zheng Bowusheng came to the throne at a young age, and he was younger than Jilin today when he came to the throne. At that time, Wusheng didn't have much ability, and he was still gathering power. However, his mother loved his younger son Shuduan very much, and asked Wusheng to give him a fiefdom. It was sealed in the capital.

Because of his mother's doting, Uncle Duan became more and more rampant day by day. He expanded the capital and made other border towns obey his arrangement.

Uncle Duan does everything in the capital and is extremely rampant. Whether it is the capital or other small towns, everyone is very resentful towards Uncle Duan. , also come to serve himself.

Because Zheng Bozheng didn't have much power at the time and was always gathering power, he chose the path of flattering and killing.Sure enough, with Zheng Bowusheng's flattery and mother's pampering, Uncle Duan was planning to rebel and break into Old Zheng City, and his mother was also preparing to open the door in Old Zheng City to meet the enemy and welcome her youngest son as the new Zheng Cheng. The king of the country.

It is conceivable that Shuduan is really angry with God, but Zheng Bozheng is a ruthless person. This battle was completely defeated by Shuduan, and he fled to the Republic, so he has a more widely known title in later generations, called Gongshuduan.

Zheng Boweisheng was furious because of his mother's betrayal, and left a sentence "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will never meet each other", and put your mother under house arrest.Later, because of rumors and public opinion in the market, Zheng Boxu was criticized for being unfilial, so he had no choice but to dig a tunnel to meet his mother, which was not considered a broken vow.

Now Gong Shuduan has fled to the Republic, lingering on his last breath, Zheng Boyu is firmly seated on the throne of Zheng State, and the capital has become peaceful.

The capital has a vast territory, and it is the transportation hub of the state of Zheng, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists. It was not without reason that Gong Shuduan chose the capital as his fiefdom.

Now Luoshi's summer hunting team will go to the capital to stay, and Zheng Bowusheng, as well as Zheng Guo's first official Ji Zhong, will leave the old Zhengcheng and go to the capital in person to welcome the emperor.In other words, soon they will meet Zheng Bo in the capital.

After Qi Lu reported the itinerary for the past few days, Ji Lin said with a smile: "It's hard work, Taifu. Taifu's body is important. If you feel tired, don't push yourself."

Qi Lu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your kindness."

Ji Lin glanced at the time and said: "It will be time for dinner in a while, so please don't leave the master, just stay and have dinner together."

At this time, Mao Si really stepped forward to tease herself, and said very courteously: "Son of Heaven, my servant has recently developed a new delicacy, which is improved from mutton soup. It has a richer taste than mutton soup. It is called... mutton." Paomo. I wonder if the Son of Heaven is interested in tasting it?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Qi Lu deliberately, as if she was demonstrating to Qi Lu. Mosi knew very well that this dish was written by Qi Lu in the recipe, but she was the first to say that she made it by herself, so that Qi Lu could eat it. Law couldn't take it anymore.

Qi Lu smiled and didn't care, because what he wanted was an effect.

Ji Lin didn't know about Yan Si's tricks, and when he heard about mutton steamed buns, he really didn't eat them, so he said, "That's fine, you can do it."

Yan Si was very happy, and said: "Yes, maidservant will go now." After finishing speaking, she gave Qi Lv a smiley face that didn't make sense, and went out soon.

The dish of steamed mutton is not very easy to prepare, it needs to boil soup and make steamed buns, it takes a lot of time, so Mao Si went out to make steamed mutton, after a while, Qi Lv found an excuse and left the tent of the emperor .

He went around the temporary dining room, and sure enough, he saw Yan Si making mutton steamed buns. In fact, Yan Si's cooking skills were also good, but his character was not flattering.

Qi Lu walked in and said intentionally: "Miss Yansi, we really have a good understanding. A few days ago, Lulu just wanted to make mutton steamed buns, so Miss Yansi created this mutton steamed bun?"

Hearing that Qi Lu was "sour" herself, Yansi said confidently: "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to go with the Taifu. It's really a honor for me. The dining room is too smelly. Taifu, let's move."

Qi Lu didn't live long and left soon.He went sour to reassure Mao Si, and after leaving the dining room, he did not leave too far, but found the eunuch and said, "Come on, I'll trouble you to do something for Lu. "

Who among the eunuchs doesn't know Qi Lv, the majestic Taifu, who wants wind and rain, is the number one celebrity in front of the emperor, the Taifu asked him to help, and he is so polite, how could the eunuch not agree, A dozen piles of promises came down.

Qi Lu said: "There is a maid inside who is making yogurt for the emperor, but the emperor is already waiting impatiently, you can hurry up, you also know, how can there be anything in this world to make the emperor wait? The emperor has now sent Angry, maybe it will implicate someone."

When the eunuch heard this, he was afraid and anxious, afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I will urge you now, I will urge you now."

After seeing the eunuch leave, Qi Lv went to find two more eunuchs, accompanied by a court lady, and asked them to urge Mao Si with the same excuse.

Yan Si entered the dining room, had just boiled yokan, kneaded the noodles in a hurry, and was about to make steamed buns, when an eunuch came in and asked anxiously, "What are you doing! Oh, the emperor is waiting! If the emperor gets angry, who will If you can afford it, hurry up! Come on!"

The eunuch yelled so that Bao Si was in a hurry to make steamed buns. The eunuch walked away, and another eunuch came behind him: "Hurry up! The emperor is urging you! You have enough heads to chop off!"

Yan Si was even more anxious, and moved very quickly. After making the steamed buns, the yokan was not easy to cook for too long, so she was about to cook, and then remembered what was written in the recipe. Before cooking, you must put thick stone Honey, the more the merrier.

Yan Si was a little surprised why the yokan had to be sweet.If it’s sweet, wouldn’t the fishy smell of yokan be heavier?Yan Si was a little suspicious, thinking of putting some stone honey in it, and after putting it in, she would taste it to know the true or false.

Mao Si added some stone honey to the mutton steamed bun soup, and was about to taste it by herself, when the maid rushed in and said, "Mo Si, why haven't you gone yet? The emperor is angry! If you don't go, you will Head off! Isn’t this cooked? Go, what are you waiting for! We don’t want to be dragged down by you.”

The hands and feet of Yan Si were sweating from being urged, her back was flustered, and her hands shook, so she put all the stone honey in, and didn't have time to taste it by herself, so she quickly served mutton steamed buns and hurried to the emperor's tent.

The emperor Ji Lin was actually not in a hurry, he sat firmly in the tent, and did not urge him, it was all urged by Qi Lu behind his back.

Mao Si rushed in with steamed mutton buns, and saw the emperor was joking with Qi Lv. He didn't know what they said, and the emperor smiled happily.

Ji Lin smelled the smell of yokan and said, "Come here?"

Mao Si hurriedly sent the steamed mutton up, respectfully put it on the table, Ji Lin said: "Is this steamed with mutton? It's really strange, I did drink yokan in the past, but there is no such thing in yokan Gnocchi."

Qi Lu looked down, and couldn't help gasping for air, "Hey..." It seems that the recipe for mutton puffed buns written by himself is still not detailed enough, so Mo Si made a pirated version of mutton puffed buns
