It is unusual for an envoy to advise, and the hospitality is good, and the two countries have been friendly for generations; otherwise, they may go to war.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Heng naturally understood this truth.
No matter how delicious the stone-roasted beef is, it is completely lost at the moment. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms came to visit suddenly. Right now, they are busy preparing for the evening banquet!
Eunuch Fu winked, followed Wen Shouzheng softly and exited respectfully.
"Father, have you heard? Envoys from the Three Kingdoms are visiting today, and there will be a state banquet tonight!" On the way back, Rourou was as excited as a deer.
"Hehe, your father and I were there at the time, how could I not have heard it!" Wen Shouzheng laughed.
"Father, then you said that we are also the royal chefs for this state banquet, can we also participate in the cooking?" Rourou was very excited.
"You silly girl, you didn't hear what the emperor said just now. It was directly handed over to Mr. Wei. The chef who wants to be in charge of the state banquet is either Mr. Wei himself, or Mr. Wei personally arranged it! We are new here, so we should listen more and listen less. Say, keep a low profile so as not to make mistakes!" Wen Shouzheng said cautiously.
Gently pursing her lips, Cai Mi's words before entering the palace still came to her ears clearly, "Listen more and talk less", it's actually the same as what Dad said!
I almost missed the big event because of excitement!
What am I entering the palace for? It's not for the sake of fame and career, nor is it for the limelight. The grievance of exterminating the whole family in the previous life has not yet been cleared. How can I have the qualifications and energy to mix other endless things!
Thinking of all the past life, the tender heart became extraordinarily heavy.
Wen Shouzheng turned his head, looked at the silent Rou'er beside him, and thought to himself: Rou'er has finally grown up, and she is no longer that childish, ignorant little girl!
The dinner party is about to come, and the imperial dining room is busy.
Mr. Wei is familiar with the division of labor, and originally wanted to select a few capable ones from among the experienced imperial chefs. Prepare for the state banquet in the evening.
"Master Wei." At this moment, Lord Shang Shan Fu Qu came.
"Master Qu, you came just in time. For the state banquet tonight, you prepare a menu." Lord Wei saw Master Qu. Hurry up and go up.
"Master Wei, you see that my nephew Qu Ming has been cooking in the imperial dining room for many years. He also has experience in the imperial dining room in the past. Do you think it is better to hand over today's state banquet to Qu Ming? There must be a chance to practice for the first time. In the future Only then can you establish prestige in front of newcomers, right?" Master Qu said, gesturing to the imperial chef named Qu Ming with his eyes.
"Hello, Master Wei!" Qu Ming nodded and smiled.
"Well, it's okay, Qu Ming has been in the imperial dining room for a long time. I remember that when Master Liuwei was there, he was already a help cook in the imperial dining room. After so many years, Qu Ming's craftsmanship is often recognized. The emperor appreciates it! He said that Qu Ming will be the successor of your Master Qu in the future! Hahahaha, good! Today's state banquet, the main course will be in charge of Qu Ming! Master Qu, you must give good advice!" Lord Wei He looked Qu Ming up and down, nodded in praise.
"Lord Wei, don't worry, Qu Ming's craftsmanship is absolutely trustworthy!" Master Qu echoed.
"Okay. Let's get ready! Tonight's state banquet will be left to Qu Ming!" Master Wei was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Wen's father and daughter in the corner of the imperial dining room.
"Chef Wen, Ms. Wen. Since it is a state banquet tonight, it is about the etiquette of Da Zhou and foreign countries, so we will not let Chef Wen and Ms. Wen do anything, but Chef Wen and Ms. Wen can watch the music from the sidelines." If you are a good cook, you can accumulate experience, and there will always be opportunities in the future!" After Master Wei said, his eyes signaled Wen's father and daughter to watch the kitchen.
Wen Rou was so excited, she saluted Mr. Wei in every possible way to thank him.
Such a great opportunity. Not every day!
The father and daughter stood quietly at the side, watching Qu Ming's cooking attentively.
I saw Qu Ming softly listening to a few handymen. Not long after, a few handymen quickly entered the imperial dining room with a few jars.
"It's so fishy!" Rourou only felt the smell of blood in his nose was extremely irritating. When he was wondering, he saw Qu Ming stretching out his hand towards the jars.
In the brown jar, all kinds of ingredients used to cook the state banquet make the tenderness shocking.
A blood-stained monkey head, with golden fluff sticking to the neck-length knife edge, although the horrifying big eyes have long been lifeless, but from the last dying eyes, fear and dissatisfaction are forever frozen. Rest in peace.
The four bloody and wet donkey hooves seemed to still be warm.
The stomach of a still beating dog and, of course, a newborn piglet.
"Chef Qu, are these for the state banquet tonight for the envoys?" Rourou really couldn't hold back, and asked uneasily.
"Of course! These are just for the envoys to eat! Of course, there are also those for the emperor and the princes. I think those ministers will not be so lucky!" Qu Ming didn't think so, and was still busy with his hands calmly. work.
"These..." Gentlely pointed to the bloody and shocking ingredients.
"Miss Wen, you are new here, and you don't know much about state banquets. Envoys from other countries are visiting. This state banquet is naturally to reflect the vast land and resources of my great Zhou Dynasty, and the superb cooking skills! I think this monkey's brain is fresh and soft, and the donkey's hoof is delicious. The soup is chewy and smooth, the dog belly soup is the most delicious, and the roast suckling pig is a unique skill that can reflect the chef's skills! Presumably the four main dishes tonight will make the envoys smile and be full of joy!" Qu Ming smiled conceitedly, the speed of his subordinates is even faster!
"Is this little piggy going to be a roast suckling pig?!" Gently stroking the pink and young piglet, his eyes were full of worry and pity.
"Of course, this suckling pig born less than ten days old is the most delicious when roasted live. The oily sebum is crispy and crunchy, and it melts in the mouth. It is really delicious in the world!" Qu Ming Shaking his head, it was as if he had tasted the roast suckling pig in his mouth.
"Live roast!" Gentle exclaimed!
"Of course! It can't be slaughtered, and it can be burned directly on the fire. It's the best way to preserve the original flavor!" Qu Ming said proudly.
"But..." Ruan seemed to want to argue, but Wen Shouzheng pulled her back.
"Chef Qu, you are busy, my little girl is not sensible, and I am causing you trouble!" Wen Shouzheng nodded, and kept smiling for Qu Ming.
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem! Young people! Naturally they are very curious! The days to come are still long, Miss Wen has plenty of time to learn cooking with me!" Qu Ming didn't care, and said casually .
"It's so cruel! A cook can eat raw like this! What's the difference between that and a butcher! He even asked me to learn how to cook with him! I'm sorry!" The gentle and clear big eyes seemed to burst into flames, and Qu Ming had already cursed in his heart A hundred and eight thousand times!
Looking at the bloody ingredients on the stove and hearing the miserable cry of the little suckling pig, my tender heart trembled!
Imperial Room!
This is the place with the highest level in the culinary world, how could there be such a ruthless person like Qu Ming!
Gentle clenched her fists tightly, turned away, and stopped watching Qu Ming cooking.
