Chapter 138 The Imperial Cuisine (Part [-])

Xie Changting looked at him calmly, and after a while, he slightly curled his lips, "What do you think?"

Yue Xiao came over and smiled warmly: "Changting, don't tease him, Xiao's character is too weak, and Fourteen is too young, bullying the two of us has no sense of accomplishment."

Bullying the two of them has no sense of accomplishment?This is what he said... Su Mo was speechless for a while, and everyone else cast weird eyes on him, unable to tell whether they were angry or funny.

Xie Changting didn't refute, just nodded in agreement.

"Looking at Wen Run, it turns out he is also a guy pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Su Mo sighed softly.

Cang Hao looked at the turmoil of the few people below, but said nothing, obviously he didn't want to comment on the aggressive behavior of such "childish" children.

Two figures appeared at the gate of the palace, Su Mo casually turned his head to look over, narrowing his starry eyes slightly, "When did people come in and out of this deep palace hall at will? Not even a notification?"

Yue Xiao smiled and said, "Master Mo, calm down, it was Nanfeng who let them in."

Both the head of the imperial kitchen and the person in charge are middle-aged people in their 50s. It has been more than 20 years since they entered the imperial kitchen as an imperial cook in their 20s. Generally trembling.

Walking into the main entrance, one can see a few men with different styles in the hall. Although their demeanors are a little leisurely, there is always a respectful expression between their eyebrows and eyes.The only man who was lazily sitting on the main seat was dressed in white clothes that were as snowy as snow. The natural emperor's demeanor was hidden between the picturesque eyebrows, but his peerless appearance made people dare not look closely. With a sense of awe, even though a cold and dusty woman was lazily leaning on the man's arms, the two who were good at observing words and expressions still immediately recognized the real master of the palace.

Three red lacquer boxes were gently placed on the table. Each box has six layers. First, there are six cold dishes, then six hot dishes, and finally four desserts. Kneeling tremblingly, facing the chief seat, "The old minister pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

In other words, these two old men are less than 60 years old today, but they have spent most of their lives serving the royal family, and they are also seasoned guys.However, suddenly faced with great changes in the palace, the powerful Murong family was wiped out, and the masters were changed without a word on the throne. The master was singled out for his faults enough to kill his head, and just now he heard the report from a group of eunuchs, enough to let him know that His Majesty the new emperor is by no means easy to mess with, if he can save his two old lives today, it must be his ancestors burning incense Accumulated virtue.Otherwise, I'm afraid my old life will die.

Su Mo stood up a little bit, frowning her eyebrows slightly, her lazy and cool voice was like the finest silk across the skin, bringing a comfortable coolness, but the content of the words made people break out in cold sweat, " Long live? You are neither a god nor a goblin, how can you live to live forever? Cang Hao, if you really can live to live forever, how will the girl deal with herself? Is it possible to learn the script of the myth? As written in the book, use my reincarnation of the third life to exchange your love for the first life... But this is still not enough, ten thousand years is ten thousand years, how many three reincarnations will it take..."

Before the lingering sound fell, there was a dead silence in the hall, so quiet that a needle could be heard, the two kneeling on the ground were so scared by the rebellious words that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled constantly, and their drooping heads were almost completely as cold as ice. The floor tiles have zero distance contact.

"The two of you retreat first, and wait outside the hall." Yue Xiao said lightly, not wanting the unimportant two people to affect the master's appetite, what should be dealt with, the people who should be dealt with, there is more time to wait.

Hearing this, the two immediately kowtowed as if they had been pardoned, bowed their bodies respectfully and retreated outside the hall.

Su Mo looked at the dishes on the table, the color was good, and the light and attractive fragrance floated on the tip of the nose through the hot air, which made people move their index fingers. The meat and vegetables accounted for half, but few of them could be named by themselves. See She, who is well-informed, has never seen it, so it should be said to be relatively rare.However, people who have traveled to nine countries in the world in 11 years will certainly not be as ignorant as her.

"Yue Xiao, let me know the name of the dish first."

Yue Xiao grew up in the palace before the age of 16. Although he was not favored by the royal family, he still knew a little about the imperial cuisine. After the age of 19, he was in charge of Jiyue Villa. There were countless restaurants and inns under his banner. He even tasted almost all the delicacies in the world. He really couldn't help him with a few dishes.

However, Yue Xiao showed a smile, "If the master and the last master are not in a hurry to eat, it's rare for everyone to get together, how about playing a game?"

Su Mo raised her eyebrows: "What crooked idea are you making?"

Yue Xiao smiled and said: "In front of the master, Xiao would not dare to have crooked ideas, but just to reconcile the atmosphere."

Cang Hao's expression was indifferent, and he looked down at Su Mo who was lazily leaning on him. Recently, this girl has been showing her petite attitude in front of him more and more frequently, and she doesn't hide her deep affection.

Cang Hao didn't speak, Su Mo gave him the answer concisely and clearly, "Sure."

"Perhaps I am afraid that the new emperor will be punished for being picky. These six hot dishes and six cold dishes are all top-quality dishes, which can be described as painstaking. Today, everyone may wish to guess the names of these dishes. If you guess the names of these dishes correctly, you will be rewarded. If you guess wrong, you will be rewarded." How about letting Xiao send you around for a day if you don't make it?"

"Why do you have to let me order you if you can't guess?" Su Mo snorted coldly.

Yue Xiao smiled softly and harmlessly: "Because of these dish names, Xiao is probably the only one who can get all of them right."

Fourteen was looking forward to it: "What's the reward for guessing correctly?"

"What?" Yue Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Secret."

Fourteen wrinkled his nose, "Okay, I'll go first."

Walking to the table, looking at the celadon-patterned Longshen bowl in the middle that exudes steaming heat and aroma, he stretched out his hand to uncover the porcelain cover, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "As expected, it's right, Long's Clear Soup Bird's Nest."

The first hot dish that was uncovered turned out to be soup instead of a dish.

"Long's Clear Soup is the only delicacy that has been passed down by the Long's family for thousands of years. In addition to the whole chicken, the soup also includes fragrant ham, fresh scallops, scallops, whole duck, etc. A kind of precious ingredients, slow fire and fine hanging for at least five hours, after all the nutrition and deliciousness of the ingredients into the soup are fully integrated into the soup, it will pass through the fine basket, and the mellow soup will come out. The hanging soup is divided into two types: thick soup and clear soup. In the bird’s nest in clear soup dish, the bird’s nest is simmered in a clear soup that’s as clear as water and as light as tea.”

Seeing that Fourteen easily named the dish, and even said it clearly and logically, everyone was a little surprised and then they understood. Growing up in the palace, it is not surprising to know the name of the imperial dish.

Yue Xiao smiled slightly: "Although it's thanks to the blessing of Jiyue Villa, it's true."

It turned out that it was such a coincidence that the most talented of the seven Long brothers, Long Qi, was one of the stewards of Jiyue Villa at this time, and he was currently in Yuecheng. The bird's nest in clear soup cooked by myself is still in my memory.

Fourteen proudly raised his eyebrows: "Where's my reward?"

Yue Xiao's expression was gentle, with a faint smile on his lips: "Didn't you always want that shirt of Shuhe's before, and it just so happens that I have one in my hand right now, but the color is different, it's blue."

14 looked at him with bright eyes, "Really? You didn't lie to me?!"

Yue Xiao nodded.

"Wow haha!" Fourteen excitedly jumped forward and hugged him, "That's great! You are really my good brother."

He had been thinking about the shirt that Shu He was wearing for a long time.

Yue Xiao was quiet for a while, and after a while, raised the corners of his mouth again, his voice was extremely soft: "Yes, I am your brother."

Even though they used to live under the same roof, they didn't dare to recognize each other.

Before Yixiu and Ziyu didn't know who the Moon King was, it wasn't until Cang Hao issued the imperial decree again that they realized that the owner of Jiyue Villa and the Moon King were actually the same person, and although they were not the same mother as Shisi, they were indeed brothers.Mo Li turned his head to look at him, didn't speak, and quickly turned his gaze away.

After Shisi calmed down and let go of him embarrassingly, Yue Xiao turned his gaze to Yixiu who was standing with Ziyu, and said with a smile: "The 11-year emperor should not be in vain, the second dish, Yixiu , guess what?"

Yixiu curled his lips: "I'm not like that old witch Murong Qing, who is about to put her stinky airs to the sky. It's not me, but the Murong brothers and sisters who serve the imperial dining room full-time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received strange gazes from all directions at the same time. Yixiu frowned in confusion, then was startled, and then remembered that he was confused again, and glanced to the left. Ziyu looked at him coldly, then glanced to the right, Xie Changting's peaceful gaze carried a slight coldness, not cold, but it seemed to invade the bones and marrow bit by bit, and there was a refreshing coolness from the inside out.

Thinking of the scene he just watched outside the hall, Yixiu couldn't help shivering secretly.

He secretly glanced at his master, but there was no strange expression on his face, and he was exchanging affectionate glances with Su Mo who was leaning on him.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yixiu stepped forward and uncovered the second dish. The moment he saw it, Yixiu couldn't help showing a smile: "The best of the imperial cuisine, yellow croaker in soup."

Yue Xiao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Explain in detail."

Yixiu said: "It is said to be the best because it has never appeared in the imperial cuisine before. Even the Murong brothers and sisters have not had the honor to taste it. In February this year, I met Empress Murong's concubine in a Goulan courtyard outside the palace. Ben The young master secretly followed this guy all night without telling the queen's eyes and ears. There was a cook by his side who not only cooked good dishes, but even in order to satisfy his master's appetite, he was so arrogant that he directly occupied the big mansion of the brothel. In the kitchen, everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and this young master successfully found out the place where he and the queen had a secret meeting. This dish should be regarded as Jiuluo's famous dish."
