The royal family of Da Qi is named Qi, and the current emperor is named Qi Jun.
Qi Jun was handsome and strong when he was young, but since he was poisoned, his health has been getting worse and worse. Now he is only in his forties, but he is already very old.
Along the way, Lu Qingxi had been introducing the things around him, but Qi Jun had poor eyesight and couldn't see clearly at all.
But even though he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, Qi Jun watched with great interest.
When they arrived outside Qingyun Tower, the guards around Qi Jun helped him down from the sedan chair.
He didn't want to be supported by others, so after getting off the sedan chair, he signaled the guards to leave and walked forward by himself.
But he hadn't taken a few steps when Lu Qingxi supported him: "Master, be careful, there is a threshold ahead."
Qi Jun walked forward carefully, stepped over the threshold and entered Qingyun Tower.
When Qi Jun was in good health, he had no problem walking, but walking up the stairs was very difficult for him. As soon as he walked up the stairs, he became breathless.
However, Lu Qingxi had already made arrangements. They did not go to the box on the second floor, but went to the backyard.
There is a yard behind Qingyun Tower, which is usually not used to entertain guests, but it was specially cleaned up today.
Lu Qingxi also went to find Chang Duan and said, "Your Majesty cannot eat spicy food and has a strong taste..."
The emperor was in poor health, so he had many taboos in his diet and could not eat many things. In addition, because of his illness, the emperor often had no taste for food and his taste became heavier and heavier.
Chang Duan wrote down everything Lu Qingxi said and then went to cook.
In fact, Lu Qingxi had already told him all this before, and he had already thought of the menu.
In the Chang family’s menu, there are several dishes that can warm the body and are very suitable for serving to the emperor.
In addition... Chang Duan took some pickles, cucumbers, kimchi, etc. from the jar in the kitchen.
After the pickled cucumbers are cut, they can be served directly. The pickled cabbage can be cut into small pieces and stir-fried with shredded pork. The kimchi can be used to make a soup...
The imperial chefs in the palace usually wouldn't serve these things to the emperor, but they are quite appetizing.
The staple food prepared by Chang Duan is yam, cabbage and minced meat porridge, plus a few warming dishes and some pickles.
This was completely different from the Qingyun Banquet he had prepared in the past, but there was no doubt that these dishes of his were very much loved by Qi Jun.
Qi Jun has eaten many dishes with complicated cooking methods and precious ingredients over the years, but he is tired of them and has no appetite when he sees them.
On the contrary, the pickles and kimchi were appetizing. He had never eaten them before.
Qi Jun was very satisfied with the meal. When he left, he said to Chang Duan, "Manager Duan, I'll come again next time."
Chang Duan smiled and sent the people out, and only let out a long sigh of relief after the people left.
When the emperor came this time, Bai Longyufu was silent, but Chang Duan knew the other party's identity from the beginning.
He received the emperor and even cooked for him!
Although his ancestors were imperial chefs, this was something he had never dared to think about before.
It was a cold winter day, but Chang Duan's clothes were already soaked and he had been very nervous before.
"I didn't expect the emperor to be like that." Feng Da, who used the alias Ma Er, came to Chang Duan.
Chang Duan and Feng Da came to the capital together. After arriving in the capital, Chang Duan opened the Qingyun Tower, and the name "Duan Jin" became known to more and more people. Feng Da had been hiding in the dark, helping to find out various information.
