"Miss Wen, what does General Sheng mean by that?" Master Qu asked in confusion.
"Master Qu, you haven't heard this? General Sheng can only be so clear, Miss Wen, right?" A royal chef smiled slyly.
"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman is so good! Hahahaha!" There was another burst of laughter in the imperial dining room.
Mr. Qu was even more baffled by the laughter. He heard rumors from the little palace maid in front of the emperor that Ding Guogong brought Mr. Ren into the palace in a hurry, and went straight to the South Study Room because of Miss Wen!
On that day, the elegant and beautiful Mr. Wushuang actually knelt down on his knees and begged the emperor for Miss Wen directly. This matter...although it had never been publicized, it had already been widely circulated in the palace in private.
Besides, although the emperor didn't say it clearly that day, he acquiesced in what he said, and said that it was Ding Guogong's family matter!
However, today, General Sheng...
Miss Wen, Miss Wen! How capable are you? Three heads and six arms, or seventy-two transformations!
The two most talented peerless sons of Da Zhou are all for you!
Mr. Qu was full of doubts in his heart, but he finally walked out shaking his head.
All the ingredients to cook the beef are in place.
Day two, at lunchtime...
Wen Shouzheng made a few refreshing side dishes, which were beautifully presented and light, making them an appetizer.
The bean sprouts kelp oxtail soup stewed overnight in the imperial dining room last night is even more fragrant and mellow. It is extremely suitable whether it is before or after a meal.
After eating the side dishes and taking a few sips of the oxtail soup, Liu Heng began to look around.
Didn't you order beef for lunch today? Why did I only drink oxtail soup, but there was no sign of beef!
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a slender figure at the door. Holding a huge tray in his hand, he entered quickly.
When the huge tray was placed in front of him, Liu Heng's eyes suddenly brightened!
A pot of dark stones. A plate of sliced superb snowflake beef!
Two utensils were placed on the table in a rush, very eye-catching.
Liu Heng probed to have a look. The basin was full of black and shiny pebbles, probably cooked at a high temperature in an oil pan, and a gust of hot air rushed towards the face.
On a plate next to it was neatly stacked extremely thin slices of raw beef. The texture of red and white marble made it obvious at a glance that the texture of the beef was excellent.
With a gentle and shallow smile, he nodded, raised his head and naturally and familiarly put the beef into the basin, and turned it over among the stones. All of a sudden, it was steaming hot, and the sound of barking was endless. The temperature of the stone is extremely high, and the beef turns from red to white in a short while. The aroma of meat fat permeates the small space, making people unable to avoid it and indulge in it.
"Your Majesty, please taste!" Gentle and softly said.
Liu Heng carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, the beef melted instantly, leaving only the unique delicious taste. The temperature of the stone is very uniform, and the meat slices are evenly heated at a lower temperature during the turning process. Extra delicate.
Liu Heng became very interested in eating, and asked Rourou with a smile: "Miss Wen, what's the name of this stone dish? Not only does it taste great, but it's also very fun to eat!"
"Back to the emperor! This dish is called stone-roasted beef! High-temperature pebbles are used to roast the top-quality snowflake beef, which saves the tediousness of traditionally cooking beef with charcoal fire and pots, and retains the juiciness and tenderness of the beef. Delicious. The delicacy you just tasted is not only the original flavor of the beef itself, but also the natural essence brought out by the pebbles after high temperature! The combination of stones and meat can be said to be the unity of man and nature, achieving the effect of prolonging life!" Gently and carefully explained.
Not only did he explain the skill of this stone cooking in detail, but he also told Liu Heng about the unique taste and health benefits in detail.
"Oh? Heaven and man are one, prolong life! Hahahaha! Good good!" Liu Heng put down his chopsticks. Laugh out loud.
People who cook, no matter they are ordinary people. It is still the royal chef in the palace, if the delicious food cooked makes the taster happy. That is the greatest happiness of a chef!
Hearing Liu Heng's heartfelt smile and seeing Liu Heng's relaxed face, everyone present, including Wen Rou, felt at ease! A proud sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously!
"It's really a royal chef with thousands of choices! Rewards! There are many rewards!" Liu Heng waved his big hand and stood up from the dragon chair above the hall, and continued with a happy face: "Chef Wen The side dishes made are refreshing and delicious, the thick soup is delicious and sweet, Miss Wen’s stone-roasted beef dish is delicate and unique in flavor! Each person rewards you ten taels! I hope you will continue to work hard!" As soon as Liu Heng opened his mouth, a group of beautiful court ladies served it immediately Vermilion lacquer dish.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Wen's father and daughter bowed their heads respectfully to thank them.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
Everyone frowned.
Listening carefully, it seemed that two young eunuchs were arguing and having a conversation.
"Not right now, the emperor is eating!" the little eunuch who guarded the door stopped him.
"Please inform me, I am in a hurry!" Another young eunuch's tone was really urgent. .
"It's a big deal, we have to wait for the emperor to eat the meal! The emperor is busy with everything, so he can eat a meal quietly, and report now? I don't dare, I only have one head!" said the little eunuch .
"But the envoys of the Three Kingdoms are waiting at the door! The envoys of the Three Kingdoms! We must not lose our etiquette!" Another little eunuch was anxious!
Liu Heng frowned slightly, and gestured to Eunuch Fu with his eyes.
Mr. Fu understood, and called out loudly: "Who is making noise outside?"
The tall wooden door creaked open.
The two young eunuchs knelt down on the ground with a "plop", trembling and not daring to raise their heads.
"Go back to the emperor, slave... the slave should die, for disturbing the emperor's enjoyment of eating!" The little eunuch who guarded the door fell on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
"Your Majesty, don't blame Xiao Haizi, it's the servant who begged him to come forward and pass the news to the Emperor! It's really urgent!" Another little eunuch kept kowtowing.
"Tell me, why is it so urgent?" Liu Heng raised his eyes and asked calmly.
"Back to the emperor, the envoys from Korea, Japan, and Russia have arrived in Dazhou and are waiting outside the hall." The little eunuch responded.
"Oh? Are there any envoys to visit? Quickly order Prime Minister Sheng to receive them. In the evening, a banquet will be held in the main hall to entertain foreign envoys!" Liu Heng arranged.
"Quickly pass on the audience of the guard of the imperial dining room!" Liu Heng said immediately.
Not long after, David said humanely.
"Master Wei, according to the state banquet etiquette, the Imperial Dining Room will prepare a welcome dinner tonight, and invite the prince and all the ministers to have the banquet together!" Liu Heng said. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lord Wei received the order and quickly withdrew!
