Each dish is delicate and small, with only six thin slices of fish fillet.
There are two small white rabbit-shaped dumplings on a plate, one female and one male, which are lifelike.
Each dish is its own scene, vivid and attractive in color.
Although the portion is small, sixty-six servings of this sample are enough for one person to be full!
Everyone looked at the sixty-six exquisite dishes, and for a moment they didn't know which one was better.
Everyone felt that this year’s palace banquet was extraordinarily rich!
We were rich before, but the richness before was more luxurious.
It’s not as colorful as it is now, but it also has a fresh feeling.
The ladies and noble ladies praised one after another: "What are these dishes? They are too exquisite! Look at the Jade Rabbit! It's so cute! It's so lifelike that I can't bear to eat it!"
"This red thing looks like a lobster shell on the surface, but why is it square?"
"Is this golden egg rolled in gold? It's just a hard-boiled egg inside!"
“This landscape cold dish is so beautiful! It’s so graceful and pleasing to the eye!”
... ..
The emperor looked at everyone's astonished expressions and said happily: "Enough admiration, dear ladies, let's get started! Let's eat with open stomachs tonight. After you finish eating, let others serve. There is still more in the imperial kitchen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
Everyone thanked them one after another, and then waited for the Emperor and Queen Mother to take their chopsticks first.
The emperor picked up the ivory chopsticks and picked up a golden crane on the mountain cold plate and tasted it.
He had never tasted this large-scale mountain cold dish before!
The golden crane is so small that you can eat it in one bite. Its surface is fried with flour, and its thin layer of skin is crispy and melts in your mouth!
The filling inside is liquid crab paste. When you take a bite, your mouth will be full of freshness, and there is also a faint fragrance of chrysanthemum, which will leave a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks!
tasty!
Afterwards, the Queen Mother took down her chopsticks, and other empresses, princes, princes, crown princes, ministers, wives and others also took down their chopsticks.
The food in front of me is really attractive!
Concubine Li looked at these exquisite and pleasing dishes and smiled: "I never tire of fine food and fine food. Princess Hui'an really puts her heart into it! She has prepared such exquisite dishes for everyone! They look delicious!" The portion is just a little small”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother paused with her chopsticks and said calmly: "Concubine Li, the Liuliu Dashun Palace Banquet is not enough for you? Don't worry, the imperial kitchen is still available! Although our Nalan Kingdom is not the richest, we are not the richest either. As for not being able to support you!"
Concubine Li's expression froze, and she said with a stiff smile: "The Queen Mother is joking, I am worried that some ministers will not have enough to eat, but since I still have that concubine in the imperial kitchen, I am relieved!"
Nalan Jinnian: "Brother, your concubine is too hungry!"
The emperor was enjoying the delicious food and was a little annoyed with Concubine Li.
"Give Concubine Li another portion! Don't leave Tianyuan Hall until you finish eating!"
Sixty-six dishes are enough for an adult man to eat!
Where is the portion missing
Concubine Li: "......"
How could she finish more than a hundred dishes
Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I always eat less, these are enough! It's too much! No need to eat more!"
Emperor: "Then eat it!"
Even if you have something to eat, you can’t stop your mouth!
The emperor didn't want to make any more plans during the Chinese New Year.
It ruined everyone’s fun!
Affects everyone’s appetite!
What a waste of such delicious food!
Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Taste is the soul of dishes, and these dishes cannot be described as delicacies! I must try them quickly!"
After saying that, she picked up the jade chopsticks.
Concubine Li picked up a piece of fish fillet that was crystal clear and as thin as cicada wings.
Concubine Li never liked eating sashimi, and she felt nauseated when she ate it.
As soon as she took the first bite, she couldn't finish it. Needless to say, it was a problem for Concubine Shu and Princess Hui'an!
Concubine Li felt aggrieved, and unless she did something, the blockage in her heart would be difficult to calm down.
But don’t dare to go too far.
As soon as the fish fillet entered her mouth, she was instantly attracted by the delicious taste, tasted it unconsciously, and then swallowed it into her belly without realizing it. Then she picked up another slice, and unknowingly, a small plate , there were only six fish fillets and she finished them all!
Her chopsticks couldn't help but go towards the fragrance of clove...
Soon, she devoured both plates of fish and meat!
The emperor glanced at her and said, "Isn't it true that my beloved concubine doesn't eat fish?"
After being married for decades, the emperor naturally knew that Concubine Li Guifei never eats sashimi.
Concubine Li: "......"
How did the emperor know
She smiled: "I didn't dare to eat it before, but now it looks so beautiful that I want to try it."
The emperor nodded: "It seems that it is right to use Princess Hui'an's dishes this time. My beloved concubine is very excited!"
The most important thing is that everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water is all available, but it doesn't cost much money!
You gain face and save money!
Concubine Li: "... ... ..."
The emperor ignored her and continued to slowly taste the food and enjoy the singing and dancing.
Concubine Li looked at the colorful small dishes in front of her, with all kinds of colors, flavors and shapes.
Heartbroken!
I don’t want to eat it!
I just couldn't help but pick up my chopsticks and start eating.
At the palace banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious, and the singing and dancing were peaceful.
The whole hall actually forgot to appreciate it. Although everyone couldn't say they devoured it, they really ate seriously.
They ate slowly, savoring the food.
The courtiers watched the song and dance performance with their eyes, but the performance was not in their minds!
They were all thinking about what the food in their mouths was made of.
Prince An, the first thing he ate was the golden egg. It was an egg with a complete surface, and the eggshell was painted gold!
But he always feels that there is a mystery inside!
Crack it, peel it, put it in your mouth, and take a bite!
Sure enough, the egg white inside has not changed, but the yolk has been made into a liquid center with fresh sea urchin!
The delicious taste makes people want to swallow their tongues!
He swallowed an easter egg in two mouthfuls!
I really want to eat one more!
He looked at the Seventh Prince beside him. He had placed the golden egg on the table the furthest away!
I want to ask him to bring it!
Just ask directly and we will definitely not give you everything!
We should think of a way!
Prince An thought for a while and then said: "Seventh Prince, guess what these golden eggs are made of? If you guessed correctly, I will give you my share of the golden eggs! If you lose, you will give your share How about giving me the golden egg?"
It just so happens that he doesn’t like eating raw fish very much!
