"When will you marry me?"
Qi Tianyun's words scared Su Tang's teacup away.
How could someone suddenly say such scary words!
Su Tang coughed lightly: "Do you want to try the milk tea I made, is it too sweet?"
Saying that, Su Tang handed over the cup.
But Qi Tianyun didn't answer, instead he said softly: "Feed me a drink?"
Facing Su Tang's puzzled eyes, Qi Tianyun said: "This is punishment."
"Why are you punished again?" Su Tang couldn't help asking.
"Punish you for not answering my question?" Qi Tianyun raised his eyebrows.
How should I answer that
Answer that she really agreed to get married
But there is no such thing as fast.
Although Qi Tianyun is really good, but she doesn't want to get married yet.
Of course she has to play dead, which she is best at.
Fortunately, seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Qi Tianyun didn't say much.
The most important thing right now is writing a book.
It's about bringing together many recipes and making one recipe that everyone can understand.
According to Su Tang, it is best to draw the most common food knowledge.
For example, the yams that will be promoted soon, yams are poisonous when sprouted and cannot be eaten, and moldy peanuts are also inedible because there will be poisonous bacteria.
If these can be written out, it is actually a good thing for many people.
Su Tang's ideas are all very good, but she can't make it into a book by herself.
Originally, people from the Hanlin Academy had some opinions on Su Tang's editor-in-chief of the cookbook.
After all, Su Tang is a woman, and she was born in a businessman. What good ideas can she have about compiling a book.
But Qi Tianyun sent over several recipes painted by Su Tang, and sent someone to tell Su Tang what he thought, so these people shut up.
I even faintly looked forward to what the Su Tang recipe would be like.
Maybe they can all use it
In the end, both the Hanlin Academy and the Shuntian Mansion allocated a few people to help Su Tang sort out the recipes.
Several of them were familiar to Su Tang.
For example, Ji Shu and Hua Shixin from Shuntian Mansion.
They were all the judges who praised Su Tang when he participated in the God of Cooking Competition for the first time.
There is also Fan Yunping, this is a scholar of the Hanlin University, and he is also included in the roster of this book compilation. Presumably, Su Tang wants to read the classics, and for his sake, no one will stop him.
The last one is Shi Yuanhu, the master of Confucian Academy.
I heard that he volunteered to help polish the recipes.
Honglu Temple and Yushanfang also sent people out.
Among these five or six people, there are those who do trivial things, and some who are famous.
But without exception, they all have a good relationship with Su Tang.
It can be seen that whether it is the Shuntian Mansion or the Hanlin Academy who are selecting candidates, they are taking the initiative to take care of Su Tang. It is always easy to find acquaintances.
However, the number of books compiled by the Imperial Academy this time is huge, and the recipes are just a drop in the ocean.
Probably it was Qi Tianyun's suggestion to let professional people do this kind of thing, that's why Su Tang appeared.
Since Su Tang is going to be made, it must be done well. She knows and recalls the recipes she has seen before.
Roughly divided into cold dishes, hot dishes, snacks, soups, and staple foods.
Among them, hot dishes are the most important.
But for any one category, that's too much.
Not to mention compiling a book, even a set of books cannot include all the delicacies of the Cangqin Kingdom.
Only when it was really done, Su Tang knew how much cumbersome and huge workload it was.
Qi Tianyun really found her a good job!
Fortunately, she didn't say a deadline, she can take her time.
But for this first cookbook, Su Tang decided to only include one hundred dishes, but there are still requirements for these one hundred dishes.
Commonly used ingredients must be used, and they are ingredients that everyone can afford.
Occasionally there is chicken, duck and fish, so it shouldn't be too much.
That is to say, Su Tang, who is the best cook in the world, wants to make a home-cooked recipe.
This is very inconsistent with everyone's impression of her.
After all, apart from the very beginning, Su Tang's cooking was very cumbersome and expensive.
All kinds of condiments, all kinds of precious ingredients.
Among other things, the crab dumplings are not something ordinary people can eat.
But Su Tang defines this recipe as a home-cooked recipe, which is to make simple and delicious delicacies.
Let everyone who is busy have time to cook a meal, which is not only full, but also delicious.
After the contents of the recipes are determined by Su Tang, the next step is to collect suitable recipes.
Anyway, all the home-cooked dishes are collected, and then the appropriate compilation is selected.
This kind of project is huge at first glance.
Fortunately, the matter was distributed, and the adults assigned to Su Tang were also doing their best to collect recipes.
But what Su Tang didn't expect was that she received a post when she was busy.
It was the daughter of the Minister of household affairs who got married, and she was invited to watch the ceremony.
Su Tang has been in Cang Qin Kingdom for some time, but he has never attended a wedding.
Hubu Shilang's daughter is married, let her go
In fact, the person who sent the post was also a little hesitant, but the servant of the household department asked his wife to send a post, not only that, but also respectful.
They often get in touch with Marquis Weiyuan, so they naturally know what Marquis Weiyuan means.
Moreover, during the palace banquet before, the servant of the household department also met Su Tang, and felt that she was not bothersome to talk, and she was not like an ordinary cook.
Now that there is another garden tour, everyone knows Su Tang's place in Weiyuanhou's heart.
At that time, when the God of Cooking Competition was held in the garden, many people also went to join in the fun.
But none of the people present knew that many things happened that day.
First, Princess Jiazhen brought people to trouble Su Tang, and then found that Princess Jiazhen bribed others to kill Su Tang.
Fortunately, all these schemes were seen through by Lord Hou, who was by Qi Tianyun's side at that time.
Thinking about Su Tang's calmness when cooking, who would have thought that she had experienced life and death before
With this kind of bearing, no one else can have it.
But the next thing is much more important than this.
Everyone knows that King Gui insists on his status and has always looked down on others, but because of his noble status, he has many followers around him.
But who would have thought that he would actually make a dragon robe for himself
Can anyone wear the dragon robe
And there was more than one thing, not only that, an assassin was also arranged at the competition site to kill Weiyuanhou's fiancée, so as to take this opportunity to damage Weiyuanhou's reputation and put the blame on the emperor.
Kill Weiyuanhou's fiancée and blame the emperor
What a bold idea!
Obviously, it is to provoke the relationship between the two.
Moreover, she also knew that Su Tang's status was low, and besides Marquis Wei Yuan, no one stood up for her, so she chose Su Tang.
If King Gui did it without anyone noticing it.
I'm afraid that Cang Qin's good days will come to an end.
Although the officials in the court are afraid of Marquis Weiyuan's iron-blooded wrists, they all know in their hearts that such a situation already looks like a prosperous age. As long as the emperor continues to grow, the life of Cangqin Kingdom will get better and better in the future.
Most of the court ministers who can be kept by Qi Tianyun, even if some disagree with Qi Tianyun, they are sincerely thinking about the court and the people of Liming.
Therefore, King Gui's method made everyone despise him.
Who would have thought that there were assassins hiding in the bustling garden, if Marquis Wei Yuan hadn't discovered it, the current capital would have been panicked.
The current Princess Jiazhen and King Gui are confined in the mansion of King Gui, and they will never take a step forward. As for the days? That must be hard.
The assassin of the palace and all those involved in the plan have been secretly executed.
Presumably these people can't make any troubles.
After this matter was completely over, the matter slowly spread, probably to give everyone a warning.
Don't have any evil intentions, otherwise you will end up like King Gui.
There are also some royal relatives who want to intercede with King Gui.
But the words didn't come to his lips, Qi Tianyun told these people to shut up after going through the account books.
To plead for mercy
Let's see if you are clean first.
In fact, many people also saw the importance of Su Tang. She didn't do anything, but she seemed to have done everything.
Moreover, no one can guess Wei Yuanhou's mind, he just likes Su Tang, what can others do
Just in time for the Minister of the Household Department to marry his daughter, after discussing with his daughter's husband's family, he simply invited Su Tang over.
This is also a temptation.
Su Tang also guessed the twists and turns, and to be honest, she didn't want to go.
But if you don’t go today, won’t you go in the future
Don't go even if you get married
That must be impossible.
And if she refused the first time, it would be even more difficult for her to walk among these people in the future.
just go.
Nothing great either.
Su Tang asked someone to reply to the post, so she asked Mother Li at home to help choose gifts, and if it didn't work, she would go out and buy them.
Fortunately, Qi Tianyun brought many small things with him.
Nanny Li picked out an ornament that wished the couple a harmonious life, it looked like it was worth a lot, and it was just right to send it over.
And these things have to be written down, and whoever gives the gift and who returns the gift must remember everything well.
Su Tang couldn't help shaking his head.
So complicated.
It's so troublesome if you haven't married yet, what should you do if you are really married.
On the day of the wedding of the Minister of Rituals' daughter, Su Tang and Nanny Li set off with a clever little girl named Xue Lian.
Snow Lotus is only thirteen or fourteen this year, younger than Su Tang.
Su Tang meant not to take it with her, but Nanny Li said that although Xue Lian looked young, she also came from the palace.
Bringing her along can also support the scene, and besides, those noble ladies have sharp eyes, without a maid, who knows what they will say behind their backs.
Maybe Master Hou will be involved.
This is.
Su Tang had no choice but to take both of them with him, and got into the family carriage to go to the wedding banquet.
The second daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites married the eldest son of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials. Although it is a marriage, she is the eldest son anyway, and the family business will be this one in the future.
So it's fun on both sides.
When Su Tang arrived, Mrs. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites hurried up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Miss Su Tang for the honor, I am willing to come and have a look. It will be great for their young couple to be as loving as you and Master Hou in the future."
This is a clever statement, it seems to be a compliment to Su Tang, but it is also a compliment to Master Hou.
He also praised his daughter-in-law who just passed the door.
Anyone who listens feels comfortable.
Although it is a post from the Minister of Rites, this one is also welcome.
Su Tang smiled: "I'm here to feel happy too. I've never been to such a grand occasion. Look at this welcoming team and ostentation. You've put your heart and soul into it."
Mrs. Zuo Shilang was stunned for a while, she didn't expect that Su Tang was born in a well-known family, but she spoke very nicely.
How could it not be hard for her to manage such a wedding.
This is her eldest son, the most beloved moth.
Mrs. Zuo Shilang smiled more sincerely, and asked her own sister to bring Su Tang to familiarize herself with the occasion, lest she would be embarrassed here.
The nurse and maidservant behind Su Tang had already handed over the gift to the servant who received the gift and wrote a gift list.
Su Tang and his three masters and servants appeared on this occasion for the first time, but unexpectedly there was nothing wrong with them.
Looking at the demeanor of the whole body, it seems that he is familiar with the road.
Su Tang looks pretty, and the clothes she is wearing today are low-key and elegant, with excellent fabrics, but they don't steal the limelight from the bride.
Who doesn't like such a guest.
Although Shangshu and his family couldn't come over, they knew the situation here, so they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
People were invited by them, and if something happened, they couldn't afford it.
Su Tang is really fine. She has not participated in ancient weddings, but she has participated in modern ones. With Nanny Li behind her, there will be basically no problems.
After watching the ceremony and eating a banquet, you can go home.
Although no one speaks, as long as there are no mistakes.
Just when Su Tang thought that he was going to drink this cup of tea until it tasted dull, he saw someone approaching like a crowd of stars in front of him.
Sun Qiaoshan saw Su Tang, and hurried forward: "Sister Su, you are here too."
Next to Sun Qiaoshan was Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, who was also Sun Qiaoshan's mother, and said with a smile: "Go slowly, be more solemn, don't let people see the joke."
Seeing that Sun Qiaoshan is so lively, people around can only praise her, so they dare not say anything.
After all, this is the future queen.
Su Tang greeted everyone, smiled and said to Sun Qiaoshan: "Yes, I also received the post."
"That's good, let's sit together, I have company." Sun Qiaoshan took Su Tang's arm, obviously very close.
Sun Qiaoshan can be said to be the top among the noble ladies in the capital.
Whether it is the Chu God's family background or the Sun family's family background, they are all well-known in the capital, and her grandmother has a good relationship with the former queen.
I won't talk about such a life experience.
She also made a baby kiss with the emperor, and going in and out of the palace is like her own home.
So whether it is Sun Qiaoshan or Sun Qiaoshan's mother, they are the only ones in the circle of nobles in the capital.
Now both Sun Qiaoshan and Sun Qiaoshan's mother are close to Su Tang.
This made Nanny Li behind Su Tang breathe a sigh of relief. From now on, her young lady will be regarded as a guest of honor wherever she goes.
In fact, when Nanny Li was assigned to Su Tang's home, she only thought it was an errand and didn't expect anything to happen.
After all, Lord Hou was kind to her family in the past, so she can just repay the kindness.
Who would have thought that Miss Su Tang would be so attractive.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also generous, a tolerance from the heart.
It's not some hypocritical play.
Whether it's the servants at home, or the managers of Miss Su Tang's three shops, whoever doesn't praise Su Tang.
She usually doesn't like to care about, but she knows everything in her heart.
Very gentle with them.
Gradually, Nanny Li also wanted to make Miss Su Tang's life better.
This is also the reason why Nanny Li is so worried about the banquet here.
After all, this is the first time to participate in the communication between wives, if you can do better, the road will be smoother in the future.
Su Tang will sit with Sun Qiaoshan now, it's not as deserted as before, many people came to talk to him.
It can be seen from this that everyone was actually waiting and watching just now, and it's not that they don't know Su Tang.
Some curious people also asked: "Miss Su, what are you doing recently, I heard that the MasterChef competition is over."
Su Tang nodded: "It's over, let's rest at home."
"How did I hear that Miss Su Tang is compiling a book? It seems to be a cookbook?"
These words seemed to be nothing, but when they came out of the man's mouth, they seemed a little mocking.
As if recipes are something shady.
Su Tang looked at her, and said lightly: "In ancient times, there were people who took food as their heaven, so it can be seen that food is important."
"The two sages of Confucius and Mencius also said that if you look at food, it can be seen that sages can't avoid this most everyday thing. From this point of view, compiling recipes is also an important thing."
After Su Tang finished speaking, the mocking person blushed, didn't he say that she was just the daughter of a small merchant family, why did she still move out of Confucius and Mencius.
The man couldn't help but said again: "Who doesn't know how to cook anymore, do you need a recipe? This kind of word of mouth, why waste paper and ink?"
The younger sister of Mrs. Zuo Shilang, who followed beside her, immediately wanted to stop Miss Su Tang from coming down.
But Sun Qiaoshan stopped her.
Would her sister Su not be able to handle this kind of pediatrics
Sure enough, Su Tang brushed his hair and said with a slight smile: "It is said in Suwen, a classic of Chinese medicine, that the five grains are for nourishment, the five fruits are for help, the five animals are for benefit, and the five vegetables are for supplementation. Take them with their scents together to nourish the body. gas."
"This means that everyone doesn't understand it. It is said that the grains, meat, fruits and vegetables in the world must be balanced and matched, so as to make the body better."
"The cookbook that the Hanlin Academy is going to do now is to collect these recipes and find out the most suitable, most delicious, and most beneficial recipes for the body to include."
"This kind of thing that benefits the country and the people is a waste of paper and ink."
Su Tang spoke unhurriedly, eloquently, and quoted arguments, which was not at all the vulgar appearance they imagined.
But think about it, people like Marquis Weiyuan are very fond of people.
How could it be vulgar.
Sun Qiaoshan covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't know anything else, but the food made by Sister Su is really delicious, and the emperor and I both like it."
Sun Qiaoshan seldom smiled so ladylike at Su Tang's place, she looked like a professional smirk, obviously smiling for the people around her.
Not only that, but I'm telling everyone that Su Tang has a good relationship with the emperor, so keep them all.
Su Tang couldn't help but look at Sun Qiaoshan, seeing how she was protecting herself, she was quite cute.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people here, she would have wanted to pinch Sun Qiaoshan's face.
Seeing that the atmosphere in this meeting was a little bit bad, Su Tang added: "If you have any good gourmet recipes and are willing to provide them to me, maybe they can be included in the book. When compiling the book, I will write your names on it. "
Su Tang suddenly thought of this.
With so many noble girls present, there are always some unique skills in the family, it would be great if I could provide them.
Gourmet recipes may be precious to chefs, but to these ladies, they are just a pastime.
If you can use these prescriptions to change your reputation
Can you write your name on the book
A woman boldly asked: "When collecting recipes, will you write that this recipe comes from me?"
Su Tang nodded: "Of course, this book will be sent to the north and south of the Cangqin Kingdom, and your names will also be spread across the country. If you don't want to write your real name, you can also come up with a nice pseudonym."
Pseudonyms have existed since ancient times, which is equivalent to the pen names of writers and painters.
Giving such a name would not damage Qing's reputation, but also let people know their names, many people were moved on the spot.
With this said, many people have lost their last worries, and they still think this is quite fun.
Su Tang took a sip of tea, can't it be fun, everyone has nothing to argue about, why not find something to do and live a more fulfilling life.
It can also provide her with a lot of recipes, everyone is happy, isn't it good
