237, fun to eat roast duck
"Yes, princess, don't worry." Chef Zhang took out a small knife that he was reluctant to use on weekdays, gestured carefully a few times, and then began to cut.
Chef Zhang's craftsmanship is really excellent, even better than the staff who specialize in slicing in Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.
"The cut meat is arranged on a plate and made into fish scales." Gu Qianxue continued.
"Yes, princess." Chef Zhang is in charge of the kitchen, so he naturally knows how to arrange delicious dishes to make them more appetizing.
After a while, the roast duck was ready.
"Hurry up, bring it to me to taste." Princess Yong'an couldn't hold back her saliva long ago.
It stands to reason that the meal has already gone to the main hall, how can there be any reason for the master to eat in the kitchen? But the rules are set by the master, and what Princess Yong'an says is what she says.
After a while, the maids moved out the high-quality carved wooden table, and at the same time moved out four chairs, besides Concubine Qin, Princess Yong'an and King Li, there was naturally Gu Qianxue.
Next to the kitchen is a small garden, because it is far away from the main courtyard, the master rarely comes to this garden on weekdays, but the little maids like to come here to play, and this roast duck meal is served in this small garden.
Although it is winter, Nanyue Country is located in the south, so it is not very cold in winter. In addition, the sun is shining at noon, and there are many braziers around the flat ground in the middle of the small garden. Although it is outdoors, it is very warm.
Princess Yong'an and Concubine Qin took their seats, King Li sat next to Concubine Qin, and Gu Qianxue was forced to sit beside King Li.
"Because the duck meat cools down quickly when eating outdoors, you have to eat it sooner." Gu Qianxue instructed, while using clean chopsticks to put the pancakes on Concubine Qin's plate and Princess Yong'an's plate. In the king's time, she paused for a while, and finally, honestly put the cake for King Li, although she was extremely unwilling.
Princess Yong'an was looking forward to it, but she didn't urge her, she just waited to enjoy this new way of eating.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qianxue laid out the duck meat for the three of them, followed by cucumber strips, shredded green onions, and finally dipped some duck sauce, wrapped the pancake, and handed it to Princess Yong'an first, "Your Highness, try it first. " said with a smile.
Princess Yong'an reached out to take it, put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times under the attention of others, and suddenly a pleasant smile appeared on her face, "The taste is really great! It is fragrant but not greasy, but it is extremely satisfying. The duck sauce is sweet and delicious!"
"Really?" Even Concubine Qin, who was careless about eating, became curious.
Gu Qianxue also rolled one for Concubine Qin, Concubine Qin ate it, and it was the same, "It tastes really good, Qianxue, I will definitely reward you in a while."
King Li didn't wait for Gu Qianxue to help pack it, but Eunuch Shao washed his hands, rolled the duck meat for King Li, and handed it to King Li respectfully.
King Li lowered his eyes, looked at the strange way of eating, and frowned slightly.
After receiving the duck cake, she opened her thin lips slightly, elegantly put the duck cake in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly.
Everyone looked at King Li with expectant eyes. In this situation, Gu Qianxue suddenly thought of a TV series called "Dae Jang Geum" that she had watched before. The delicacies made were served to the emperor, and the emperor gave a compliment after eating, thanking God for all the palaces and cooks.
Now, isn't it just like that scene
After King Li ate it, he cast a glance at Gu Qianxue, "That's all."
He spit out such a sentence.
"..." Gu Qianxue really wanted to yell—damn, you spit out the duck that my old lady gave you, and you are not allowed to eat it.
It's a pity that I only dare to think about it, but dare not speak it out.
It was Princess Yong'an who saw the grievance of her adopted daughter, "Since you think it's nothing more than that, don't eat it," she said, snatching the duck meat and putting it in front of her, "Ben Gong and Wan Qing can just eat it."
"..." King Li.
A servant girl had already stepped forward, imitating Gu Qianxue's practice, wrapping duck cakes and serving them to the eldest princess and Concubine Qin. Gu Qianxue politely declined the serving from the maid beside her, rolled them herself and ate them, enjoying the meal very much.
Eunuch Shao peeked at his master's expression, then quietly went over, trying to pick up duck meat with chopsticks, but was stopped by Princess Yong'an, "Don't you like it? If you don't like it, don't force it. Let the cook make some other meals." gone."
"..." King Li.
Eunuch Shao had no choice but to retreat.
"..." King Li.
In this way, King Li watched Princess Yong'an and the other three eat.
Gu Qianxue liked her adoptive mother more and more - bad guys have their own troubles! Well done Her Royal Highness!
Seeing the three of them eating happily, King Li only felt his mouth was overflowing, and his tongue had already begun to protest seriously—I want to eat roast duck! Want to eat roast duck!
Tongue protested, Li Wang's complexion would not be good.
Eunuch Shao stepped forward cautiously, "Master, do you... have any meals you want to eat? The servant ordered someone to do it."
"No." King Li's words were squeezed out between his teeth.
In the end, it was Prince Li's own mother—Concubine Qin couldn't stand it, and sighed, "I'd better eat some, how to say, it's also Qianxue's wish."
Gu Qianxue vomited blood in her heart, hey, my mother is my mother, and Concubine Qin treats her well on weekdays, but she still favors King Li more.
However, she will not bear any grudge against Concubine Qin, after all, this is maternal love, besides, it also gave King Li a step down, right
Gu Qianxue didn't dare not give Li Wang a step, if she made Wang Li anxious, there really would be no good for her.
"Okay," King Li of this day was very obedient.
Seeing this, Eunuch Shao hurriedly brought duck cakes, rolled duck meat and shredded green onion and cucumber strips, dug a large spoonful of duck sauce for the master, and handed it over.
King Li took the duck cake, and before eating it, he deliberately cast a glance at Gu Qianxue, "For the sake of my concubine, I can barely eat a few more."
"You...cough cough cough!" Gu Qianxue was about to yell, but forgot that she was swallowing duck meat, and suddenly got stuck, her face flushed.
The maid hurriedly handed over the tea, and Princess Yong'an snatched the tea and fed it to Gu Qianxue with her own hands, "You are so old, you can choke on a meal."
Li Wang was in a great mood, and thought that the duck cake was even more delicious. He ate three of them in a row and smiled while watching Gu Qianxue who was drinking tea and knocking his back. It seemed that the duck was not really delicious. Cake, but Gu Qianxue made a fool of himself.
Princess Yong'an gave King Li a hard look, "You too, just eat your food well, and you must tease her."
"..." King Li withdrew his eyes and lowered his head to eat the cake.
Concubine Qin laughed softly, and she didn't even dare to eat anymore, for fear of repeating the same mistakes as Gu Qianxue. In fact, the three people in front of her were like three live treasures.
After a long time, Concubine Qin couldn't help expressing emotion, "Prosperity and wealth are like passing clouds, I only hope that the three of you will always be by my side, this life is enough."
