Your fiancee ran away with someone again

When the emperor and his party arrived outside the gate of Qi's house, Wang Qi sensed something was wrong. He held his breath and listened to the sound. After a while, he said to the emperor, "There are people around."

It's not that there are people inside, but there are people around, which means that those around are uninvited, and the purpose is obviously to monitor the Qi family and find out the movements of those people inside.

The emperor asked Duofu to knock on the door, and looked up at the roof of Qi's house, "Interesting, it seems that there are many people who care about my throne," and they came to watch people for him early on.

The door of the Qi family was knocked open, and Duofu held up a golden token for the porter to see, and then said: "Please quietly invite your master, don't disturb other people."

The concierge's heart skipped a beat when he saw the golden token, and he said hastily, "Yes, I'll go now, little man."

The door was opened, and the fragrance from the courtyard could still be vaguely smelled. Duofu raised his hand and fanned it. Those who came to Qi's house for dinner today are really lucky.

While waiting for others, Duofu trotted back to the side of the emperor, and whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you must order a first-class pot, that is the main course for today."

"Progress," the emperor scolded angrily.

Duo Fu smiled, "It's already at the door of someone's house, what else is there to be good for, if you can eat delicious food, it's good for you."

The concierge went to deliver a message, and Qi's father almost ran out in a hurry. As soon as he went out, he saw the emperor and was about to kneel down. The food is delicious, so I came here to have a meal, I am not late, am I?"

Father Qi also couldn't tell whether the emperor really came here for the food, or if there were other reasons, but the emperor opened his mouth, naturally he wanted to invite people in, and then entertained him nicely.

"The emperor invites you. Today is a few of my friends and family members who came to visit my home for New Year's greetings. I asked my son-in-law to cook some home-cooked dishes for them at noon. Lunch was served early, so the dishes are almost eaten. If the emperor doesn't mind, I will Ask your son-in-law to cook another table for the emperor alone, what do you think, the emperor?"

The Son of Heaven followed Qi's father into the door, and did not let him lead him to a crowded place, but went to the front hall where there was no one, and the Son of Heaven said: "If you take the liberty to come here for a meal, I feel that I don't need to bother too much, and I will eat what I do. "

Father Qi hurriedly responded, "Yes, I will call my son-in-law to cook. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

The emperor sat down, took out a folding fan from his sleeve and fanned it slowly, and said to Father Qi who was about to leave: "Call your son, the youngest one, by the way, you don't need to tell him who I am, just say that there is a guest." Just come."

"Yes," Father Qi respectfully stepped back.

Not long after that, Qi Zhan came with a bowl.

I was still eating while walking, thinking about the fragrance.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Zhan was so shocked when he saw that the guest his father was talking about was the emperor. He almost dropped the bowl. He muttered to himself, "No wonder my father didn't let me bring the bowl. It turned out that the emperor came here." gone."

"Oh, no, you should salute first." Qi Zhan took the bowl and knelt down as soon as his knees were bent. "Student Qi Zhan kowtowed to the emperor, the emperor has a happy new year, and I wish you a happy new year."

"Get up," Tianzi said with an obvious smile. He felt that it was too right not to ask Qi Aiqing to tell Qi Zhan his identity, otherwise how could he see such an interesting reaction from Qi Zhan.

After getting up, Qi Zhan put the bowl on the table beside him, then carefully looked at the emperor with his eyes, "Please forgive me, the emperor, the students didn't know that it was you who came, and they didn't mean to be disrespectful to you."

The emperor suppressed the smile on his face and asked Qi Zhan, "Why, I can welcome guests with a bowl if it's not me. Is this the rule of your Qi family?"

Qi Zhan didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his face. He explained honestly, "My father asked me to accompany the guest. I thought it was someone I knew. Those people I knew knew everything. Who doesn't know who and what virtues?" , I serve the bowl just to show off my wife's cooking, it's delicious."

Qi Zhan subconsciously brought a bowl to show the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are many dishes today, but the students think the best one is the first-grade pot, this one..."

Qi Zhan began to introduce Yipinguo with a lot of chatter, and also reported the names of all the dishes in the pot, and described the taste of each dish with his limited vocabulary.

Finally, it ends, "Ah, Yipinguo is so delicious!"

The more Qi Zhan spoke, the more paralyzed the emperor's face became, and when Qi Zhan finished speaking, his face became a little ugly.

But Qi Zhan asked the emperor in a daze if he didn't like this dish.

The emperor's good self-cultivation made him hold back his anger, but calmly told Qi Zhan, "I have never eaten it," so what qualifications do you have to say whether you like it or not?

Qi Zhan secretly thought in his heart, Ting Ting is too good, the dish even the emperor has never eaten.

"Ting Ting has already made it. Don't worry, the emperor, you will be able to eat it soon," Qi Zhan told the emperor when he heard his father ask Mu Ting to go to the kitchen to cook some dishes when he came over.

But just after finishing speaking, Qi Zhan showed a bit embarrassed expression again, "Your Majesty, Ting Ting said that it is a bit troublesome to cook this pot, are you hungry, Your Majesty, how about I go and urge Ting Ting to cook some other dishes for you first?" How about eating and waiting for Yipinguo?"

Qi Zhan always felt that his father didn't say that the emperor wanted to eat Yipinguo, and he had to remind Mu Ting if he didn't do it.

His little thoughts were all written on his face, how could the emperor not see it, so he asked, "Then you plan to leave and leave me here?"

"No, how could it be?" Qi Zhan waved his hands again and again, "How dare I, that just gives my father a reason to beat me up."

Qi Zhan had a positive attitude, "Your Majesty, the student has many friends who are from the Imperial Academy. The student asked them to chat with you to relieve boredom."

Those group of idiots will definitely take advantage of him and Tingting's absence, but they are eating vegetables. After a while, all he will have left after he goes back are plates and pots. We are all good brothers, so naturally we should share weal and woe. .

"Okay, then you go and call them, I am also curious how they will accompany me to relieve boredom."

"Hey, the students are going now," Qi Zhan got the order, responded, turned around and ran away.

The emperor took a sip of hot tea and seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of Qi Zhan's good brothers.

Duofu boldly opened his mouth to test, "The emperor seems to be in a good mood."

The emperor smiled slightly, "That's right, I just want to see what these dudes who are famous in the capital are like."

The well-known dandies came very quickly. Because they knew the identity of the emperor, they all entered the door like quails, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

He had already tossed and turned his greetings to Qi Zhan several times, pretending that they didn't know that it was Qi San who pushed them to accompany the emperor because he was afraid that they would eat up all the food.

Everyone thought in their hearts that they were still bored, and the emperor probably felt bored enough seeing them.

After all, which emperor would like a group of dudes?

They are also very self-aware.

Seeing the reaction of this group of people, the Son of Heaven smiled a little more, and asked after he got up, "Why, I am a man-eating tiger, so afraid of me?"

Yu Xuyao ​​and the others shook their heads and waved their hands again and again, "No, no, no, your majesty, why are you a tiger? You are clearly the emperor of the real dragon."

"He is the overlord of the world."

"It's the gods coming down to earth."

"It is the reincarnation of the Buddha."

"Yes……"

"A good emperor!"

This group of people followed each other one by one like counting the number. At first it was okay, but in the middle it was a mess, and finally they came back with simple words.

After finishing speaking, they waited anxiously for the emperor to comment. They read less, and even if they boasted about the emperor, they would have to rack their brains. It was not easy for them.

The smile in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is even bigger, this is also a group of interesting people, except that they are not as courageous as Qi Zhan, other things are pretty much the same.

"Since I am a good emperor in what you call, then I won't embarrass you, just try to make me happy, until the meal is served."

Yu Xuyao ​​reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand, "Your Majesty, the students are going to urge the meal."

The others stared at Yu Xuyao ​​with accusing eyes, this kid took away their prepared words.

However, the emperor ruthlessly refused, "The person who urged the meal has already gone, otherwise why would you come here?"

Everyone gritted their teeth in their hearts, Qi San!

This piece of shit!

They are too tender, and they can't even hide their expressions. The emperor will naturally see their reactions. He thinks it's okay to wait for a longer time for the meal, as there is always someone to accompany him to relieve boredom.

And Qi Zhan, the person who pushed the good brother into the pit, was circling around Mu Ting in the kitchen.

Qi's father did not tell Mu Ting that he wanted to make Yipin Guo, but the emperor suddenly appeared at Qi's house and said he wanted to eat. Mu Ting felt that it was definitely not a whim, but there must be some reason.Perhaps it was because too many people came to Qi's family today, and the commotion caused by it was noticed by interested people, and the emperor came after hearing the news.

If this is the case, then the Son of Heaven must know something about the dishes that Qi's family ate today. If everyone is here, if you don't serve him the main course, it is not only disrespectful, but it will also make the Son of Heaven feel uncomfortable.

So as soon as Mu Ting came to the back kitchen, he started to cook Yipin Guo. Fortunately, he knew that there were many people and many ingredients were prepared, so the cooking was fast.

In addition to Yipinguo, there are braised pork, braised pork trotters with soybeans, and taro chicken.

Mu Ting thought about it, and added a new dish——Guobaorou

This is a Northeast dish, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste.It is very particular about marinating with starch, frying and frying.

Take a piece of pork tenderloin, cut it into even thick slices, wash it and squeeze out the moisture in the pork, then you can start marinating.

Salt and wine are marinated for a cup of tea, and pea starch and oil are added to make a paste. The meat slices must be coated with starch, so that they can be fried more crisply and fragrant when they are fried.

The sliced ​​meat should be deep-fried twice, the first time when it is cooked, and the second time when the meat is fried until it is golden on both sides and the meat is crispy, which is called fried.

The next step is to stir-fry the seasoning. Put the onion, ginger and garlic into the pan and sauté until fragrant. Add rice vinegar, fine sugar, and a little soy sauce and fry it into a slurry. Pour the fried meat into the pan and stir-fry. With the addition of sweet and sour, this dish can be out of the pot. Before serving, add some shredded green onion to decorate. The golden pot-wrapped meat is paired with emerald green shredded green onion, which is really full of color, fragrance and taste.

The finished dishes are sent to the emperor to eat first, and Yipinguo needs to wait until the previous dishes are almost eaten, and then they will be served.

Knowing that there were three people coming, Mu Ting divided the food into two portions, one for the emperor, and one for Duofu and Wang Qi.

When the food was served, Yu Xuyao ​​and the others finally finished their boring task, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy for them.

The emperor didn't make things difficult for them, and let them go back to eat, and a group of people happily left with gratitude.

People who dine out almost all know that the Qi family has a distinguished guest. Although no one reveals who the distinguished guest is, the Qi family never walks with the royal relatives and relatives in the capital. As long as they are not stupid, they can guess something.

It happened that lunch was coming to an end, so the masters of each family asked their family members to go back first, and they stayed by themselves to see if the distinguished guest wanted to be summoned.

The distinguished guest had a delicious meal, and there is no plan to summon anyone for the time being. Although Yipin Guo has not been served yet, other dishes are not bad, especially the so-called new dish of Baobaorou.

One bite, it is crispy and the skin is greasy, but it is just in harmony with the sweet and sour sauce wrapped on it. The taste is so sour that it makes people squint and the sweetness just bursts out. The two flavors are intertwined and blended together. , stimulate the taste buds, making people want to...eat.

The emperor noticed the special features of this dish. Unlike other dishes, people want to eat the second bite non-stop after taking the first bite. This dish is not suitable for eating in a row, but it makes you eat other dishes. After that, he frequently stretched out the chopsticks.

The emperor also had a bit of fun eating it, trying which dish would go well with the pot-packed meat. It didn't take long for half of the dishes to go, and the emperor was [-]% full.

It was time for the Yipinguo to be served, and it was brought by Qi Zhan, and Mu Ting followed him with three bowls.

The lid was tightly closed, and the fragrance did not come out. The pot was just a black pot. It looked ordinary, and it was quite different from the Yipin pot that everyone admired.

The pot was placed on the table, the lid was lifted, and the strong fragrance burst out in an instant, rushing into people's nostrils crazily, making people salivate non-stop, and they were greedy for this pot full of food.

Mu Ting raised his hand, "Your Majesty, this is a first-class pot, please taste it."

Duofu actively picked up vegetables and served soup to try dishes for the emperor. He filled a bowl full and didn't stop after eating.

Son of Heaven: "..."

The emperor wanted him to go away.

There is no need to wait for Duofu to speak, the emperor himself moved the chopsticks, just eat that way, just measure it, if it is really poisonous, a cow will fall down.

Yipinguo is worthy of its name, and the emperor who has eaten all the delicacies of mountains and seas also showed a surprised expression, and praised: "It can be regarded as a masterpiece in the world, it is wonderful."

Mu Ting thanked, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, each layer of this pot has different food, Your Majesty can look down."

Every layer seems to be a surprise, the egg dumplings are tender on the outside and fresh on the inside, the chicken is full of flavor, the duck is firm and chewy, the boiled winter bamboo shoots at the bottom are fresh and tender, and the dried bamboo shoots are even more delicious.

It's like eating a hodgepodge, and it's like eating several dishes. The emperor didn't put the chopsticks until he was a little full.

The emperor is a restrained person, but today he made an exception in terms of appetite.

The emperor glanced at Mu Ting and said, "I take back what I said before. I think it's a shame for you to be an official. It's easier for you to be famous all over the world as a cook."

Qi Zhan actively agreed, "Is that right, Your Majesty, Ting Ting's cooking skills are the best in the world, right?"

"The restaurant opened by the person with the best culinary skills in the world should be called the first floor in the world. Your Majesty, we have bought the restaurant. Can you write a word for it? Just write it as the number one floor in the world. We deserve it!" Zhan was full of pride.

The Son of Heaven looked at Qi Zhan with unexpected eyes, "I remember that others said you were stupid when they mentioned you, but I don't think so, your brain is turning very fast."

Qi Zhan nodded, "That's right, the students don't think they're stupid. All the rumors are spreading outside. They must be jealous of me."

"What are you jealous of?" The emperor was curious.

"I'm jealous that I have such a good wife," Qi Zhan said as he pulled Ramudin.

"But those rumors seem to have started before you got married," the emperor reminded him.

Qi Zhan replied with a serious face: "It must be jealous that I will marry such a good wife as Ting Ting in the future. I know that some people can predict the future if they can pinch them," such as his father, such as the emperor.

The emperor felt that he was almost convinced by Qi Zhan's fallacious reasoning.

Qi Zhan struck while the iron was hot, and continued to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, can you help me?"

After eating a meal, eating people is the shortest time. The emperor thought about it and agreed, "Take the pen and ink."

Qi Zhan jumped up for joy, and immediately asked someone to fetch a pen and ink.

The emperor picked up a pen and wrote the first building in the world according to Qi Zhan's request. There should be a space in the middle that was vacant.

The Son of Heaven said: "What number is it? It depends on your ability. If you really reach the time when everyone praises you as the number one in the world, I will make it up for you."

Mu Ting thinks this is also good, the signboard with a word in the middle is obviously more eye-catching, and will attract many customers because of this novelty.

He can also set up a plaque at the door, allowing the guests who have eaten to leave their rankings about the restaurant at the door.

At that time, the signboard can be replaced once a month, and the empty number will be taken as the number with the most voting intentions of the guests, and one day, all the names on the signboard will be replaced with all the names inscribed by the emperor himself - the first floor in the world

Never change again.

Mu Ting and Qi Zhan thanked the emperor and put away the words carefully.

Although the emperor came to the Qi family in the name of eating, he didn't come just for a meal. Qi Zhan and the others had nothing to do after finishing the inscription. The emperor went to see Qi's father and others, and those important court officials .

The dishes on the table have not been finished yet, especially when there is still a lot of Yipinguo left. Duofu and Wang Qi both follow the emperor closely. receive."

Mu Ting nodded, expressing his understanding, and put the lid on the earthenware pot. He and Qi Zhan would stay in the house and keep these dishes for Duofu, so that he could eat them when he came back.

Not long after the emperor left, Qi Zhan's good brothers came over. They didn't go with them. After finishing the Yipin pot, Yu Xuyao ​​went out to find someone to inquire about the news, because they thought the emperor would not suddenly come to Qi's house , especially when they are eating, it's a bit strange.

This inquiring really gave Yu Xuyao ​​a lot of information. He gathered a group of people and said mysteriously, "It is rumored that we gathered at Qi's house today to discuss the important matter of rebellion!"

As soon as Yu Xuyao ​​finished speaking, everyone took several steps back. The news was so shocking that they didn't know what to say for a while.

It took a long time before someone asked, "Do we have the ability?"

Then someone answered, "It should be, we can achieve our goal by destroying the court."

Others praised, "Good idea, great plan!"

After all, apart from ineffectiveness, eating is the only thing they are sure about. As long as they work hard, it is not impossible to eat the court, right?

After some joking, everyone became serious and asked Yu Xuyao, "Apart from this rumor, is there anything else?"

Yu Xuyao ​​said, "It's pretty much the same with minor differences. Generally speaking, we feel that we have sinister intentions. When so many people gather together, they are ready to pick a day to start trouble."

Qi Zhan asked, "Did you find out which bastard passed it on?"

"Yes, did you ask? Let's copy guys and beat people. These bastards spread such rumors, and they can't be beaten to death."

Yu Xuyao ​​shook his head, "Someone has spread it since we entered Qi's house. It will take some time to find out the source. I really can't find it for a while."

Toasted and said: "It depends on whoever has the worst deal with us, we will investigate. Anyway, it's just those people. I don't believe we can't find them. If we find the master, he will beat him to the ground!"

Qi Zhan has already started to squeeze his fists.

Mu Ting poked him on the back of his hand and said: "Such rumors are really ridiculous. Unless the people who want to rebel are sure, they will never make such a big show, and the emperor is here today. He saw so many of us. I'm eating, so I won't believe it."

"However, although the rumors have no effect on our family, if we are rumored like this and do nothing, it seems that we are too easy to bully."

Mu Ting looked at Yu Xuyao, "Young Master Yu, you have a lot of sources of information, so please take the trouble to find out who is spreading rumors behind this scene. If we find out, we will come together to discuss an explanation."

Yu Xuyao ​​readily agreed. He was happy to come to Qi's house for dinner. The food is so delicious, it should be something that makes people more happy, but someone came to frighten them. When he knows who it is, he will definitely beat up the other party's mother. know.

Mu Ting and the others have discussed the people who spread the rumors, and the dialogue between the emperor and several important officials in the court is over, and then it is time to return to the palace.

But before leaving, Wang Qi appeared in the front hall of the Qi family, and after talking to Mu Ting, he took away the remaining Yipin pot in front of everyone.

Yu Xuyao ​​stared straight at him, and muttered softly, "Aren't you going to let the pot go?"

Indeed, he didn't even let go of the pot, and Wang Huwei walked quickly with the pot in his hand. It may be the first time he has done such a thing, and his steps were a little flustered.

"Oh, who told me that my daughter-in-law is so good at cooking and the dishes are so delicious," Qi Zhan sighed pretendingly, and took Mu Ting's hand to show off in front of his good brother.

His good brother Qi Qi rolled his eyes and cupped his hands to Qi Zhan, "Farewell, we will see you indefinitely!"

They choose to roll.

Qi Zhan still had to yell at them not to leave, but to stay and talk for a while, but no one paid any attention to him.

When the figure was gone, Qi Zhan smiled brightly at Mu Ting, "They just envy me."

Mu Ting lowered his eyes, looked at the hands of the two clasped fingers, and smiled in a low voice, "Yes."

There should be many people who are envious of me, Mutin thought.

……

There were many people around the Qi family, so the news that the emperor came to Qi's house naturally spread to all parties. After learning that the emperor had dinner at Qi's house and asked the guards to take away a pot of food from Qi's house when he left, everyone, although There were different reactions, but they unanimously set their sights on one person—Mu Ting

The former eldest son of Duke Mu's mansion seems to have brought a lot of changes since his identity was revealed.

And when such a person is an enemy rather than a friend, it seems unnecessary to keep them.
