It is undoubtedly a good thing for the people of the Great Zhou that the king of a country can have such a good appetite!
Rou Wen went to serve the banquet with Mr. Qu, witnessed Liu Heng's comfortable appearance, and felt the pride and happiness of being an imperial chef from the bottom of her heart!
"Rou'er, don't be dazed, go to the Ganlu Palace quickly, the concubine Li is still waiting for you!" Wen Shouzheng reminded the tenderness who had just returned from Liu Heng's place.
"That's right, Miss Wen, hurry up! The emperor's dinner is also extraordinary at Concubine Li's place!" Master Qu also advised.
Gently nodded, turned around and immediately went to Ganlu Hall.
In the familiar kitchen, Wen Rou was still the only person, and the little palace maid was still timidly standing aside.
"Miss Wen, this is the fresh crab that the empress is going to entertain the emperor at night. The lady carefully tidied it up. If you need anything, just ask." Musk Moon pointed to the green-shell hairy crabs that were rampant in the bamboo basket.
"Don't worry, Aunt Sheyue, this crab servant will definitely cook well! It will definitely satisfy the emperor and empress!" Rourou bowed and saluted.
"By the way, the emperor rewarded the new chestnut just now, saying that it is the favorite food of the empress! The empress does not want to have it for herself, so you cook it together, and let the emperor and the empress share it for dinner!" She Yue was about to turn around, Suddenly exhorted.
"Don't worry, Aunt Sheyue, I've made a note of it!" Gentle replied.
The plump crabs are carefully brushed, and finely tied with strings. Considering the deliciousness of the crabs, it is best to steam them! Fearing that a little bit of crab roe and crab paste would be lost during the steaming process, he turned the crab over gently and intelligently, with each belly facing up, and steamed it patiently.
Crabs are delicious and lingering in the mouth, but the taste is very cold. However, it is not advisable to eat too much, and it needs a lot of ginger powder to warm it up, so it is just right!
Gentle as a diligent person. Of course, I am also familiar with these common senses, and carefully prepare the minced ginger. Soak it in balsamic vinegar, and then add sugar to taste, it is a coup to enhance freshness!
The crabs are still steaming, and the chestnuts have already been blanched in boiling water!
Gently cut a small opening with a knife, and only heard a "pop", and a complete and smooth chestnut was peeled!
Gently and quickly peeling the chestnuts familiarly, his thoughts couldn't help thinking of Xianyang, and thinking of the Zuixian Tower back then!
In the back kitchen. A group of lively and kind friends, learning how to cook and helping the cook, by the way, little five...
I don’t know if Chef Zhang will treat Xiao Wu better if he becomes the head chef of Xianyang Zuixianlou, or if he will always be asked to peel chestnuts...
I really miss Chef Zhang's chestnut puree and chestnut crisp...
Xiao Wu, a year has passed in a flash, and it’s time for chestnuts to ripen again. I wonder if you still remember me every time you peel chestnuts...
Gentle thought of those people and things. Eye sockets were moist again.
After I find out the truth of my previous life, I must leave the palace and return to Xianyang. Go back to your friends.
Even if you're not in the imperial dining room or an imperial cook, the days of peeling chestnuts with Xiao Wu are still happy and joyful!
After peeling the chestnuts, I chose the black-legged chicken carefully raised in the palace.
Chestnuts and chicken nuggets are stewed in a clay pot, bursting with sweetness and aroma, which whets the appetite!
After the end of summer is the beginning of autumn, the shortage of bitter summer is a good time for tonic in autumn, chestnut is flat. Sweet, the most nourishing food! Known as the king of all fruits!
Cooked with tenderness and care. In a blink of an eye, it's dinner time...
"My concubine, it's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Eating crabs is the most elegant thing, hehe, come on, let me peel a crab leg for you!" Liu Heng sat comfortably at the dining table in Ganlu Hall and settled down. He straightened his sleeves, and casually took a plate of crabs with a tempting aroma that Gentle had just served.
It was a female crab with a white and flat belly, and her eight legs were neatly tied up. In the hot air, the aroma of delicious crab meat and crab roe was clearly visible.
Liu Heng swiftly removed the rope that bound the crab, and was about to gently break off a crab leg, when She Yue, who was standing by and serving, hurriedly approached.
"Your Majesty, servants are here!" After Musk Moon finished speaking, she gestured to the little maids standing beside her with her eyes.
Dresses in green gauze and dancing, brought trays of exquisite objects.
There are eight pieces of silver and fine crabs, clean water for washing hands, cups and mouth bowls for rinsing mouth, scented tea and mouth towels for clearing mouth.
At this moment, Musk Moon is picking up a pair of shiny silver crab scissors, and is about to help Liu Heng dismantle those crab legs!
"Hehe, this meal is my concubine's invitation to have a feast, and there are no outsiders around. Naturally, I want to thank my concubine for her kindness by myself! You all stand down, and I will do as long as I come." Liu Heng said affectionately Looking at the pretty concubine Li in front of her, she stretched out her hand, intending to take the crab scissors from She Yue's hand.
"Your Majesty..." Musk Moon seemed to be hesitant.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for his favor, you all go down and wait outside!" Concubine Li bowed slightly, then raised her eyes sharply to signal to everyone around her, including gentleness of course.
After a burst of footsteps, the hall of Ganlu was instantly quiet.
Liu Heng and Concubine Li sat at the table side by side, helping each other eat crabs and serving each other dishes.
If it weren't for the magnificent, tall and spacious Ganlu Hall; if it wasn't for knowing that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his favorite concubine were sitting in it.
Just relying on this clip of eating together, it is very similar to the daily life of ordinary people's husband and wife respecting each other and raising their eyebrows!
"Aunt Sheyue, the emperor treats the empress very well!" Outside Ganlu Hall, standing beside Sheyue, softly echoed.
"Of course, the empress treats the emperor well, and the emperor is naturally considerate to the empress! Since you are the imperial cook appointed by the emperor, I don't need to say anything more about the choice of the chef when the emperor comes to the empress's palace! I told you once, if the ingredients are not specified by the empress, everything will be done according to the old rules!" Sheyue glanced at the gentleness around her indifferently, and her words were almost impersonal!
"Don't worry, Aunt Sheyue, this servant has recorded it!" she replied gently and obediently.
Everyone waited quietly and peacefully outside the hall. Although it was covered by doors and windows, there were still Liu Heng's comfortable laughter from inside the hall from time to time, as well as the low-pitched conversations between men and women. It could be heard that Liu Heng's meal I ate very happily.
When Liu Heng finished his meal, Concubine Li lazily called out, "Come here."
Only then did Wenrou make everyone bow their heads and quickly enter the hall, quickly clearing away the bowls on the dining table.
Musk Moon took a few court ladies and gently helped Concubine Li, while Eunuch Fu lowered his eyebrows and helped lift the veil of the bedroom.
Gently glanced at it from the corner of the eye, and couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.
Needless to say, after a sumptuous dinner, it is naturally the time for the emperor and empress to warm up their tents.
The book said: Food and clothing think of lust.
Although he is in the palace now, even if he is the king of a country, these common sense things cannot be avoided!
