"Three envoys, please!" Following the amazing appearance of all kinds of delicacies on the huge iron plate, the delicacies are gently, easily and naturally served on exquisite porcelain plates, supplemented by exquisite vegetable and fruit carving decorations, It was carefully presented in front of the three envoys.
If the four dishes cooked by Qu Ming just now were absolutely fabulous, then the gentle meals cooked on the iron plate should definitely be described as "works of art"!
In the traditional Chinese food arrangement, there are usually rich meals in full bloom. Even the carved fruits that decorate the dishes are surrounded by a circle, implying reunion and perfection!
But at this moment, on the main hall, the dish tenderly presented to the three envoys is a single delicacy, with a decorative carving as the finishing touch, like a beautiful ink painting, elegant and exquisite, It is pleasing to the eye, and I am eager to taste the uniqueness of the "artwork", but I am afraid that a slight movement of the chopsticks will destroy the artistic conception of this dish!
After admiring it for a long time, the three envoys actually looked at each other, dumbfounded in shock!
"Three envoys, please!" He said again with a gentle smile, "No matter how exquisite the food is, if it is not eaten in the stomach, it will lose its original meaning! Three envoys, please taste it while it is hot! "Gently smiled.
The sound of chopsticks rattling slightly.
The sound of mouths, teeth, and tongues colliding with each other.
The sound of swallowing saliva.
Then there is the sound of admiration!
"Well, it's delicious!" The Russian envoy kept nodding.
"Delicious, delicious!" The Korean envoy was full of praise.
"Da Zhou's food culture is really extensive and profound. It really opened my eyes to Japan! In the future, we must learn more from Da Zhou!"
"Father, since the three envoys all praised it so much, it's another banquet in the hall. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. I don't know if I'll wait..." The crown prince couldn't wait long ago, and it would be like this for the three envoys to eat like this. I don't know how much saliva I swallowed, and finally saw the opportunity. In a hurry, he asked Liu Heng for instructions.
"Hehe, Miss Wen, if you don't mind the trouble, share it with all the princes and ministers!" Liu Heng stroked his beard and said with a smile.
The seriousness and anger just now have long since vanished.
A dish can provoke war, and a dish can turn into treasure.
The relationship of diplomatic relations lies not only in the battlefield, but also in the dinner table.
"Respond to the emperor's words. This servant will do it now!" He saluted gently and generously, and quickly placed all the rich ingredients on the huge iron plate.
The green smoke rises, the aroma is tangy, the techniques are diverse, and the food is colorful!
The imperial cuisine has always been known for its slowness, precision, delicacy, and complexity, but today's gentle ones are so fast, beautiful, fragrant, and unique that they are as fast as a magic trick, which opened the eyes of everyone present!
Such a technique is really rare in the world!
The stove and spatula that have been passed down from generation to generation have been completely replaced by an iron plate in the hands of this girl!
Wen Shouzheng was standing by the side, amazed in his heart!
When did this girl develop this cooking technique? I haven't seen her practicing on weekdays! Could it be another recipe from Chef Gao's ancient book! well! It's all my fault that I didn't study hard when I was a child, and now I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, even if I want to read, I can't understand! Wen Shouzheng sighed secretly.
It really is formidable. Thinking about this Miss Wen, after all, she stood out from the elite selection! It's the imperial chef handpicked by the emperor again, and he really has two brushes! Mr. Wei stood aside, wiped his sweat unceasingly at first, then nodded unceasingly.
Plates of exquisite food were delivered to the hands of the princes and ministers.
For a while, there was only the sound of eating and drinking in the hall, and nothing else could be heard!
What a wonderful chef! Not only is he outstanding in cooking skills and courage, but also in his looks...
The prince was eating the delicious food on the plate, and his heart had already started to move!
Liu Zhang has been sitting in silence. Just now, when Qu Ming almost made a big mess, he didn't even frown. Now that he has witnessed such a superb memory of gentleness, there is a strange look in his eyes.
Since Liu Xian returned to Beijing and entered the palace. It’s been a long time since I ate tender food, and I’ve chanted it thousands of times on weekdays, and now I’m finally eating it, and I can’t stop smacking it with my small mouth, and staring at it with my black and round eyes. Gentle, it seems that he has a thousand words to say to his sister Wen!
"Father, my son has an unfeeling request!" The prince put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and turned towards Liu Heng with a happy face.
"Prince, it's okay to say something!" Liu Heng naturally tasted the tenderly cooked iron plate dishes, and his heart was naturally happy.
"My son thinks that since this girl Wen has such a talent in cooking, she should train more so that she can make great contributions to me after my big Sunday. If I stay in the imperial dining room all the time, I am afraid that some people will Misleading and delaying, I am willing to share the worries of my father, and I am willing to invite the best chef in the world to guide Miss Wen's cooking skills in the Prince's Mansion, so that Miss Wen can better serve the royal meal of my father!" The prince said eloquently. The hype is falling.
"The prince is very thoughtful!" Liu Heng was about to respond.
what! The prince wants me to leave the imperial dining room and enter the prince's mansion! Wen Rou was shocked!
No, absolutely not! I finally got into the palace! Never leave the palace like this!
What should I do? what to do? ! Hearing what the emperor means, I'm afraid he will agree to the prince's suggestion! The tender heart is tangled!
At this time.
"Father!" Liu Zhang got up from his seat without haste, and cupped his hands towards Liu Heng. "Father, Your Royal Highness, please worry about it. Miss Wen was originally recommended by my son to participate in the chef selection competition. My son wanted to find a master of culinary skills for my father from the people, so that I can always be by my father's side. Let’s talk about the filial piety of Biao Erchen. Since Miss Wen is talented and intelligent, she is even more fortunate to be favored by her father and to be a cook in the imperial dining room. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know the reason, but I'm afraid that if Miss Wen comes to the Crown Prince's mansion, others will take credit for her filial piety to the emperor!" Liu Zhang said unhurriedly, glancing at it from time to time. A trace of disdain flashed in Prince Xiang's eyes.
"Third brother, you!" How could the prince expect that his wishful thinking would be disrupted by Liu Zhang, even though it was difficult to get angry in front of the envoy, he was still trembling with anger!
"Oh? Miss Wen was recommended by the third child? Hehe, the third child, if you don't tell me, I really don't know!" Liu Heng was overjoyed.
"Father, mother and concubine always teach the sons and ministers to behave in a low-key manner and be humble. Naturally, the filial piety of the sons and fathers to the father cannot be compared with the fanfare of His Royal Highness. The sons only hope that the father is in good health. Father's side is good!" Liu Zhang said with a humble expression.
