Because of that slap, Li Chengxuan was also angered.
So in the process of dressing and washing, he kept his face sombre, which made the maids who served him feel uneasy, for fear that he would suddenly get angry.
Song Jinning didn't fluctuate about this. Because she felt that she had done nothing wrong at all, so why feel guilty and upset
After she finished washing up, breakfast was already on the table.
Song Jinning actually didn't really want to eat with Li Chengxuan, but since the two of them just became allies last night, and the food on the table seemed to be for several people. Obviously, the small kitchen got the news early in the morning, so it even made Li Chengxuan's share.
What else can Song Jinning do? I had to send out an invitation reluctantly.
"Breakfast together?"
Li Chengxuan didn't answer, and was about to leave with a sullen face.
He hasn't had enough of the slap and embarrassment just now, has he? Do you want to stay here for breakfast? Who knows if Song Jinning will embarrass him again.
But it's only because he glanced at it from the corner of his eye......
Boiled golden corn porridge; steamed Baifufu, which exudes a faint smell of wine, I don’t know what kind of noodle cake; deep-fried oily cold utensils (actually fried dough sticks); Just dumplings) and so on.
Not to mention all kinds of assorted pickles, green side dishes, boiled eggs, pigeon eggs, warmed milk, boiled soy milk, bean curd, etc., all of which filled the entire table.
Li Chengxuan could no longer move his feet, turned around involuntarily, and sat down at the table.
Song Jinning also sat down at the table.
Looking at the table full of food, she frowned slightly.
Although she was a lady of a noble family all her life, and now she is a queen, subconsciously she still feels that it is shameful to waste food!
After Zhou Jing's initial surprise, he now stood beside Li Chengxuan with a calm face to serve him.
After asking Li Chengxuan if he wanted to eat bean curd, Zhou Jing deftly filled a bowl and put it in front of him.
Li Chengxuan took a sip of tofu curd, and took a bite of a fried dumpling.
Then he couldn't hold back, raised his head and asked Song Jinning: "Aside from meat stuffing, what else is stuffed inside this jiaozi?"
Song Jinning thought to herself, if you just ask me like that, how would I know? I don't know until I taste it.
Then he took a bite of a fried dumpling, and after careful identification for a while, he said, "Maybe it's shepherd's purse."
"Shepherd's purse?" The corners of Li Chengxuan's lips twitched slightly, "wild vegetables?"
Song Jinning can quite understand his reaction.
Firstly, people in the royal family usually eat meat as their main food, and they rarely eat vegetables. Secondly, wild vegetables are used by the people to feed livestock, or they are used by the victims in famine years to satisfy their hunger. Letting the majestic king of a country eat wild vegetables seems to be a bit out of place.
But Song Jinning didn't care much.
I didn't hold a knife around your neck to force you to eat it, so you can choose not to eat it.
As for herself...
After eating the fried dumpling in a few mouthfuls, she nodded and said slowly, "Yes, it's wild vegetables."
But it was delicious and very fresh.
A vein twitched on Li Chengxuan's forehead.
The Artemisia baba last time was also made of wild vegetables, and this time there are also wild vegetables in the stuffing wrapped in fried jiaozi. Look at the lush green vegetables on the side of the table. Could it be some kind of wild vegetables
How could this Song Jinning like to eat wild vegetables so much? Could it be that their family's life in Yunnan is very miserable, so they are so frugal
But this is absolutely impossible.
As the only vassal of the opposite sex in the entire empire, her father can collect taxes in the fief. Not to mention rich and oily, but what kind of delicacies do you want to eat? And who in the entire empire didn't know that he regarded his only daughter as the apple of his eye, and would give her whatever he wanted, so why would he be willing to let her eat wild vegetables
Unless it's what Song Jinning wants to eat...
As for why she ate it, of course it was because it was delicious.
Even Li Chengxuan had to admit that whether it was the Artemisia Baba last time or the fried jiaozi stuffed with shepherd's purse this time, they were all very delicious.
Originally, Zhou Jing heard that the jiaozi was wrapped with wild vegetable stuffing, and was ready to catch Li Chengxuan and throw down the jiaozi he had bitten into.
He didn't want to see Li Chengxuan throwing away the remaining jiaozi, but watched him eat the jiaozi bit by bit.
And after eating this one, he put another one on the plate.
Zhou Jing: ...
Zhou Jing almost burst into tears.
He felt that His Majesty was really not easy.
How many times he was forced to do things he didn't want in order to be able to govern better.
Li Chengxuan tasted the fried dumplings, and then focused on the white flour cake.
He ordered Zhou Jing to tear off a small piece, and he held it in his hand and looked it over.
On the surface, it seems that there is not much difference from ordinary white flour cakes, but both sides are golden. After taking a sip, I also noticed a faint aroma of wine.
Li Chengxuan was surprised. Then he began to ask shamelessly: "What is this cake made of?"
Song Jinning: ...
Your Majesty, are you going to turn into a curious baby? Why do you have to ask everything
"Flour is mixed with water to form a ball, and some fermented glutinous rice is added. After fermentation, it is fried with low heat."
After a pause, Song Jinning asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know how the flour comes from?"
Song Jinning has every reason to suspect that His Majesty has never seen wheat since he was so old. Even if he has seen it, can he know that the flour is ground out after removing the husk from the wheat kernels
Li Chengxuan was not happy.
"How could I not know? Every year at the beginning of spring, I will sacrifice to the heavens, praying that the weather will be good this year."
You are just going through the motions, what can you know!
However, Song Jinning gave a face-saving sound, indicating that she knew, put down her chopsticks, took a quail egg from the plate, and slowly peeled it off.
Seeing Li Chengxuan looking at her, he took another quail egg from the plate and handed it over: "Your Majesty want to eat this?"
Zhou Jing saw it, and hurriedly took it, and gave it to Li Chengxuan after peeling off the shell.
But Li Chengxuan saw that it was easy for Song Jinning to peel, so he thought it was not difficult.
I don't want to be looked down upon by Song Jinning. Just now she asked herself if she knew how the flour came from, wasn't she just looking down on him? Leaping past Zhou Jing, he reached out and took the quail eggs.
Following what Song Jinning did just now, she tapped the quail eggs on the table.
I didn't want to use too much force, and the quail eggs collapsed in half.
Li Chengxuan didn't say anything, just buried his head in peeling the eggs.
But where did he do this? I haven't even peeled the eggs, let alone quail eggs that are so small.
Not to mention the pits and pits that were peeled off at the end, there are still many tiny shells on the surface of the egg.
Zhou Jing couldn't bear to look directly, and silently turned his head to the side.
As for Song Jinning. Although she had lowered her head and tried her best to hold back a smile, her shoulders on both sides were still shaking.
This His Majesty's ability to take care of himself is probably even inferior to kindergarten children.
Li Chengxuan also has face. Such a trivial matter was laughed at by Song Jinning, where is his regal face
Fortunately, he is not a tyrant who will kill people at every turn. Even though he was laughed at, he just had a sullen face and didn't even get angry.
As for the half-peeled quail egg, he threw it into the small plate in front of him as if angry.
Then he lowered his head and drank the bean curd without opening his mouth again.
A small white porcelain blue and white dish suddenly appeared in the drooping sight, and there was a peeled quail egg inside.
As for the hand pushing the small dish, it was as tender as a peeled quail egg.
"Your Majesty, please eat."
It was Song Jinning's voice holding back a laugh.
You can't really annoy this majesty, can you? She will live in this palace for a period of time in the future, of course, if she can avoid making enemies with Li Chengxuan, she will stop fighting with him.
So without waiting for Li Chengxuan to ask again, Song Jinning has already introduced all the dishes on the table.
"The assorted pickles in this box are all made by Mrs. Zhao and the others. Your Majesty, would you like to try it? This plate is Malantou mixed with dried beans. Some sesame oil is poured on it, so it smells very fragrant. Eat it It also smells delicious and refreshing.”
"This Malantou is also a wild vegetable. I think His Majesty has never eaten it before? But even though it is a wild vegetable, it tastes very delicious. And in spring, it is eaten with a green character. Aren't there customs of eating spring in the beginning of the Spring Festival? "
"This dish is the current seasonal dish, the famous vegetable moss. There is no very complicated cooking method, but it is just added with boiled lard and stir-fried for a while. It is not only refreshing, but also delicious. It's kind of sweet."
"As for the plate, it is a folk snack called fermented bean curd. Tofu is cut into small pieces and placed on the cleaned straw to let it ferment moldy. Then pick up the moldy tofu pieces with chopsticks Roll it in alcohol with a higher concentration, then roll it in chili noodles, put it in a jar, seal it and let it sit for a while."
"When you want to eat, you just need to take the fermented bean curd out of the jar. You can eat it directly, or pour sesame oil on it, or pour it with boiling oil. The tastes are different. I like to eat the original flavor, Your Majesty, try it ?”
Li Chengxuan was surprised.
This surprise mainly comes from two aspects.
First, can moldy things be eaten? Secondly, Song Jinning knew about these folk snacks, but why did she also know exactly how these snacks were made
Wasn't she of noble birth? Shouldn't it be that the door does not leave the second door and does not step, and only learns needle chiseling at home all day long, and entertains itself with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting
Song Jinning guessed what he was thinking at a glance.
This majesty has not been able to show his emotions and anger yet? This is not good, you have to continue to practice.
However, Song Jinning kindly explained Li Chengxuan's confusion.
"My father was obsessed with food, and I was also influenced by it. Not only must you know how to eat, but you must also know the various ways to eat each ingredient to be interesting."
In fact, it was because she was a foodie in her previous life, watching all kinds of food documentaries, food videos and the like when she had nothing to do. Although her hands-on ability is a bit weak, and she can't completely replicate those delicacies, but the cooks her father recruited are all very powerful, so she only needs to come up with ideas and general steps, and they will naturally be able to restore them.
It was her father who would often ask her if she had thought of any novel delicacies recently.
But of course we can't tell Li Chengxuan about these things, so let's pull his father out as a shield. Perfect and impeccable excuse.
And obviously Li Chengxuan also believed it, because the surprise on his face was gone.
Song Jinning still had the heart to make fun of him, so she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty already knows the origin of this fermented bean curd, so would you like to try it?"
Come on, don't discriminate against people just because they have moldy mildew. It's actually really delicious.
