Tian's little cook

Chapter 690
Concubine Wu Gui remembered that these two dishes were the names of the two dishes that Huangfu Chu said to Liu Xiang for the first time outside Yongxin Palace.

No wonder Huangfu Chu said it out on purpose, it seems that what he hinted at has something to do with food.

Ever since she was put under house arrest in Yongxin Palace, Concubine Wu Guifei has always had a bad appetite, and there is no smile on her face.

Every time the palace maid only reported the name of the dish, she waved people to leave, unwilling to listen to them.

But this time, Concubine Wu Gui stopped the palace lady who passed on the dishes, "This is the first time I have heard of the last two dishes in the palace, so please introduce them."

Concubine Wu Guifei pretended to be casual, as if she only said a few words out of curiosity.

The maid who reported the name of the dish just now was Wanqing.

As soon as she heard Concubine Wu Gui asked her, she was very excited. Concubine Wu Gui is the birth mother of His Highness the Crown Prince with a prominent status.

The person who passes the dishes does not go to a certain palace, but changes every day.

Only after she gave birth to a grade, did she have the opportunity to pass food to Yongxin Palace.

Before she came, she had heard that Concubine Wu Gui never let Chuancai palace ladies talk too much, and she couldn't get any favors in front of her.

But this time she was the first to pass food to Concubine Wu, and she was questioned, which made her very proud.

Wanqing hastened to introduce respectfully.

"Back to the imperial concubine, the last two dishes are famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River. The chopped fish balls are made of fresh grass carp, which has the effect of nourishing the stomach, nourishing the body fluid, strengthening the bone marrow, and strengthening the feet. Osmanthus fresh chestnut soup is also a famous traditional food in Hangzhou. This dish soup The juice is thick, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, sweet and palatable, and has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, invigorating the spleen and appetizing."

Naturally, these words were not thought up by Wanqing, but Su Yin specially told them when they went to the imperial kitchen, in order to explain them to the master.

Concubine Wu Gui listened very seriously, "They are all famous Jiangnan dishes, no wonder I feel familiar."

Liu Ying, who was standing aside, spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, you are from the south of the Yangtze River. You must have eaten these two dishes when you were young."

"As soon as you say it, I will have an appetite." Concubine Wu Gui laughed.

Wanqing gave Wu Guifei a small bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and fresh chestnut soup with winking eyes, and handed it over respectfully: "My lady, please use it."

Concubine Wu Guifei took it, tasted a few mouthfuls, and kept nodding: "Not bad, the taste is very good, the same taste as the one I ate when I was young."

"It seems that this cook's skills are good." Liu Ying said with a smile: "If you like it, you can eat more."

When mentioning the cook, Concubine Wu Gui asked unintentionally: "These are two new dishes, is there a new cook in the palace?"

"Yes." Wanqing nodded, "Two cooks came to the imperial kitchen yesterday, a man and a woman."

Wanqing wished she could talk more with Concubine Wu, and tell all she heard: "The man is from Shandong, and he is good at making pasta. The woman is from Jiangnan, and she made these two dishes."

First Jiangnan cuisine, and now a Jiangnan cook, Wu Guifei slowly grasped the key.

"People from Jiangnan? Where are they from?" She continued to ask.

"My servant heard that she is from Qingzhou." Wan Qing was ruined by Lin Zhimo yesterday that she lived alone in one room, and she was very worried about her.

Before she went to serve the dishes today, she heard someone talking about Lin Zhimo, so she paid special attention to a few words, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Concubine Wu Gui was very satisfied with her answer, and gave Liu Xiang a look to let Liu Xiang take her out to receive the reward, "You all step down."

Wanqing stepped back happily, "The imperial concubine takes time."

As soon as everyone went out, Concubine Wu immediately asked Liu Ying to close the door, and then said a little excitedly: "I want to see that cook."
