Interstellar baby care letter

Chapter 498 Preparing for a State Banquet
Since it is a state banquet, it is natural not to neglect it.

Nan Shu searched for the dishes in her mind, but she didn't think it was suitable.

The system popped up at the right time, "According to historical records, the most famous 'state banquet' is called the Man-Han Banquet."

Nan Shu's eyes lit up, and this time she remembered that there was a know-it-all beside the system, "What are the dishes and rules for the Manchu banquet?"

She knew about the banquet of Han Dynasty, but she didn't know about the banquet of Han Dynasty.

The system calls out the introduction about Manhan Quanxi. "According to the historical records of later generations in China, apart from the full banquet of Manchu and Han Dynasties, there are also many famous dishes for state banquets."

"Call it out and have a look."

It took more than ten minutes to finish reading, but Nan Shu fell into a tangle.

The Manchu Banquet is good, with a strong ancient Chinese color, and the state banquet of later generations is also good, which is more realistic in the interstellar world.

Which is better?

While struggling, Nan Shu thought of Lu Xuan, her eyes lit up, and she turned and walked out of her room.

"Tuk tuk tuk." Nan Shu knocked on the door of the study, and then pushed open the red lacquered wooden door.

Lu Xuan was sitting in front of the desk, and when she saw Nan Shu coming in, she smiled slightly, and Nan Shu moved closer to Lu Xuan, staring at him with moist almond eyes, with a serious face, "Lu Xuan, people from the Lifei Empire will stay in the Federation for a few days ?”

"One week at the latest, three days at the earliest." Lu Xuan replied.

Nan Shu nodded, "I see."

"Why do you ask this?" Lu Xuan was puzzled.

"Prepare the state banquet!" Knowing the answer, Nan Shu stopped touching Lu Xuan and stood up directly, "I'm going to prepare the ingredients first."

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the study in a hurry.

Lu Xuan looked at her back, shook her head, smiled helplessly, and continued to work.

It's already night, counting the time, the first banquet will be held at noon tomorrow.

Time is tight.

The Man-Han feast lasts for three days and is divided into six banquets.

Nan Shu stayed up all night to prepare the ingredients needed, and waited for tomorrow.

*
early morning.

Nan Shu and Lu Xuan went to Li Palace together.This was Nan Shu's first visit to Li Palace, she glanced at the gray and solemn building, and smiled lightly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Gong is the representative of the power center. The solemn and majestic shape, the solemn and solemn guards, and the high-level federal officials entering and leaving all demonstrate their unique status.

In ancient China, it is like a royal palace.

Walking along the white jade marble corridor, Lu Xuan softly introduced Li Gong to Nan Shu, and after turning a corner in front, it was the side hall.

And just as they were turning the corner, Nan Shu and the two suddenly bumped into a group of people head-on.

Embracing Nanshu and backing away, Lu Xuan lowered her head, "Have you been knocked down?"

Nan Shu shook her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her gaze then fell on the person in front of her, she was startled for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes very quickly.

The man in front of him had a face like a crown jade, carved like white jade, clear and elegant, and his eyes were as clear as still water.He was wearing an exquisite and expensive princely costume representing the imperial family, which was a bit more luxurious than the blue cloth shoes and long coat when he first saw it.

Jing worry?Nan Shu found the name in her memory.

While Nan Shu was looking at him again, Jing Chou was also looking at Nan Shu.

Almond eyes and cherry lips, eyebrows and eyes are picturesque and delicate, elegant and quiet, just like the first time I saw her.

"Miss Nan." The corners of Jingchou's lips were drawn back, and a smile leaked out of her watery eyes.

"... Jingchou?" Nan Shu's words contained a trace of uncertainty.

Seeing that Nan Shu still remembered him, there was a deep smile on her lips, "It's me."

"You know each other?" Lu Xuan suddenly said.

"It doesn't count as acquaintance."

"I know." Two words sounded at the same time.

Nan Shu coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jing Shou smiled, "Miss Nan, we were..."

"Mr. Jing." Nan Shu interrupted suddenly.This is in Li Palace.

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, looking at Jingchou with a cold gaze.

Jingchou looked at Nan Shu, bent her lips, did not say the rest of the sentence, and said instead, "Miss Nan came to Li Palace for?"

"Prepare the state banquet."

"State banquet?" Jingchou was puzzled.

"It's a banquet between the two countries." After Nan Shu finished speaking, Lu Xuan's hand on her shoulder tightened.
"Shushu, it's getting late, let's go first."

After finishing speaking, calm eyes fell on Jing Chou's face, "Third Highness, take a step first."

Lu Xuan took Nan Shu and left.Jingchou stood where she was, her eyes shifted to the backs of the two of them, her eyes drooped, and ripples appeared in her calm water-like eyes.

After walking through the corridor and entering the side hall, Lu Xuan slowed down, but her face was still sullen and worried.

Two people came up from the side hall and saw Nan Shu and Lu Xuan with smiles all over their faces, "Major General Lu—" Lu Xuan restrained his air-conditioning, "Lead the way."

The two were taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and led Nan Shu and Lu Xuan to a room on the left side of the hall.

The room is very spacious. When you walk into the room, if you speak a little louder, there will be echoes. This is a room specially prepared for Nan Shu.

Speaking of which, after so many years, this is the first time someone wants to cook in Li Palace.

Looking at the room, Lu Xuan waved his hands and let the two of them go down first.

In the empty room, only Nan Shu and Lu Xuan were left.

Nan Shu looked around, her almond eyes curved, turned around, saw Lu Xuan's tense face, stretched out her hand, Nan Shu tugged at Lu Xuan's sleeve, raised her thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and gave out a soft smile Unexpectedly, she looked up and asked him, "Are you jealous?"

Lu Xuan lowered her eyes, seeing Nan Shu like this, her heart softened for a moment, and most of the jealousy dissipated just now, but her cold face was still straight, and her thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

"Lu Xuan." Nan Shu blinked, "Don't be jealous." Lu Xuan completely lost her anger, stretched out her hand, rubbed her hair, and said softly, "What's the matter with Jingchou?"

Jingchou is the third prince of the Lifei Empire, so it stands to reason that he would not have any contact with Nanshu.

Nan Shu told Lu Xuan about the previous events in detail, from the acquaintance on Weheba Island to being implicated that night, everything was in detail.

After Lu Xuan listened, her eyebrows sank, but her tense face gradually relaxed.

Seeing Lu Xuan's face, Nan Shu smiled, "Aren't you angry?"

It seemed that Nan Shu was coaxing him.

Lu Xuan bent her lips and clenched her soft and boneless hand, feeling a little helpless.

After wandering around in the empty room, Nan Shu nodded, "There is enough space."

Lu Xuan nodded and took out all the kitchen utensils. After 5 minutes, the room that was empty just now was instantly filled.

It has to be said that although Lu Xuan doesn't know how to cook, she has a very clear understanding of the kitchen structure.

Lu Xuan still had something to do. Nan Shu washed her hands. Seeing that Lu Xuan was still standing there, she pushed him out of the door, "Okay, okay, Major General Lu, go get busy."

Lu Xuan smiled, pulled her into her arms, lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, and smiled lightly, "Okay." Nan Shu blushed slightly, and cursed secretly.

After Lu Xuan left, Nan Shu was the only one left in the kitchen that had just been set up.

There are many kinds of banquets in the Manchu Banquet. According to the current situation of StarCraft, it is impossible to have all beards and tails.After filtering out the unsuitable dishes, Nan Shu took out the ingredients from the Star Pavilion one at a time.

"Four items of pastry, royal meal bean yellow, sesame rolls, golden cake and jujube paste cake, four items of pickled vegetables, palace cucumbers, pickled black vegetables, sugared garlic, pickled water mustard skin, you can keep it..."

After finishing the first few cold dishes, Nan Shu took out the fish meat. The fish meat was delicious. Nan Shu cut up the fish meat, marinated it with salt, sprinkled pepper on the fish meat, and then added some seasonings.

Turn on the fire, pour it into the pot, oil splashes from the oil pan, the tender white fish meat turns golden, and the smell of the fish slowly comes out, Nanshu has sprinkled some celery leaves and green onion leaves, and fry it for a while , the delicious smell of fish fragrance spreads all over the room.

"Have you smelled the fragrance?" In the side hall, someone suddenly sniffed his nose.

"...I smell it." A round-faced girl sniffed, "It seems to be the aroma of dishes?"

"should be."

"I finally smelled it, it didn't smell at all before."

The waiters in uniforms stood and discussed, and looked curiously at the room inside from time to time.

"What do you think Nanshu can cook?"

"It must be different from the one in Xinghua Restaurant."

"That's not necessarily the case. Time is limited. Maybe Nanshu will cook the same dishes as those in Xinghua Restaurant."

Everyone chattered, full of curiosity.

Over there, Nan Shu is concentrating on making fish cubes with milk sauce. The fish cubes are almost fried. She pours the fresh white milk into the pot, and the milk slowly wraps the golden fish cubes, as if wrapped A layer of snow clothes, only revealing a little golden inside.

The milk was boiled and then curdled. The smell of fish mixed with the aroma of milk was surprisingly pleasant.

After finishing the first dish, Nan Shu began to move on to the second dish - colorful beef tenderloin.

Cut the beef tenderloin into shreds and marinate it with seasoning. Nan Shu immediately cut the turmeric grass and green pepper into thin shreds.Afterwards, Nan Shu opened the pot again and poured in oil.

"Thorn-"

The oily flowers were rolling, and the violent sound could even be heard by a few people outside the hall.Nanshu will then put turmeric grass, green leaves, green peppers, chopped carrots, etc. into the pot, and the oil pan will be fragrant, and the aroma will disperse in an instant.

"What kind of aroma is this?"

"I can assure you that Xinghua Restaurant does not have this dish."

The people around the side hall sniffed the fragrance and gradually became a little greedy.

But the most greedy thing is the back. In the kitchen, Nan Shu poured the marinated beef into the pot, briefly stir-fried it twice, the beef gradually tasted, and then sprinkled with black pepper and cooking wine.

The surface of the beef is smooth and tender, and the aroma of black pepper and cooking wine is perfectly integrated in the beef, and the aroma is more intense than before.

"Ahem." Outside the hall, someone couldn't help covering their noses,

"This dish is really delicious."

"When I smell it, I want to eat it. It reminds me of when I watched the live broadcast of Nanshu Food."

"Haha, watching Nan Shu's food live broadcast, that's really uncomfortable."

"I just don't know when Xinghua will be able to serve this dish."

"It hasn't been done yet, don't think so much."

~
When Nanshu was preparing for the state banquet, Weitai Luxuan was accompanying the people of the Lifei Empire to the military area.

The military area is very large, and the usual training equipment was put away, and a group of people went to the laboratory building.

As one of the three researchers, You Shi had the honor to accompany him.

Burri, the head of the Lifei Empire, walked in the long corridor of the laboratory building. After a long silence, he said slowly, "It's like this, a small-scale patient disease incident suddenly broke out in our empire two or two months ago. .”

After the words fell, the entire corridor suddenly fell silent.

"What?" Wei Tai whispered, rarely losing his composure.

Did the Levi Empire actually suffer from disease?
Ling Bo was puzzled, and looked at Burrell's gloomy face, "You mean, two months ago, there were mental rioters whose condition suddenly worsened in the Lifei Empire?"

"good."

Burrell shook his head, "It was originally a state secret, but I learned not long ago..."

Everyone understands the rest.

If they hadn't already known that a lesion had occurred in the Federation at the end of last year, they probably wouldn't have automatically exposed the news.

You Shi stood at the back of the crowd, his face had long been gloomy, and his brows were frowned as if they had tied a knot.

He always thought that the disease was in the first district, but now he told him that something happened to the Lifei Empire, this...

When You Shiguang thought about it, he felt astonished.

Burrell continued to walk forward, "I came to the Federation, one is for the Zerg matter, and the other is for the disease."

If it is possible, it is also one thing to lead food to the empire.

Ling Bo's face darkened slightly, "The disease is no small matter. Now the Federation and the Empire have had the disease one after another, and there is no guarantee that it will not happen again in the future." For a while, the atmosphere was very depressed.After a long while, Burrell said, "Our empire is accompanied by two researchers..."

After the crowd, You Shi's eyes lit up.

It seems that the Lifei Empire came prepared, and it just so happened that they could also take this opportunity to communicate, and maybe they could find out the cause of the disease.

The whole morning gradually passed, and at noon, the group finally returned from the military area.

The noon sun was just right, and it sprinkled on the white jade marble, reflecting golden light.

The good weather dispelled the haze in his heart, Burrell put on a smile, looked at Li Gong, "It's noon."

Ling Bo smiled, and pointed to the main hall on the east side of Li Palace, "the new banquet hall."

Hearing this, Burrell smiled, "Okay!" They had been looking forward to the delicious food for a long time.

Walking into the main hall, there was a cool and cool breath, and immediately after, everyone smelled the faint fragrance floating in the air.

Burrell's eyes lit up.

For the imperial people, food is something they have only heard of, seen but never tasted or eaten.

In the center is a round table of yellow porcelain with a white background. The surface is as smooth and cold as jade, spotless, luxurious and exquisite.

At this time, the round table was filled with all kinds of dishes.

Ling Bo invited them to sit down.

"This is specially prepared by our federation for you." Ling Bo was still a little awkward when he said this.It was the first time he had a state banquet, and it was the first time he used it to entertain foreign guests.

There was a waiter standing beside them, and when they saw someone sitting down, they stepped forward spontaneously, thinking about Nanshu's explanation, and said, "This is the first feast of the Manchu banquet, which includes four kinds of pastries, four kinds of pickles, and one kind of soup ···”

A series of reports, not to mention the people of the Lifei Empire, even Lu Xuan is a little dizzy, what are these?
They were unheard of.

The waiter continued, "The Manchu Banquet is a feast for the Chinese royal family to entertain guests. It is not used for non-grand occasions or distinguished guests..."

As soon as the words came out, a smile appeared on the face of the Lifei Empire.Lu Xuan bent her lips, and her eyes also showed a smile. Once these words came out, no matter whether the banquet could satisfy them or not, they must have fulfilled the friendship of the landlords.
