Chapter 1373: Something is wrong (rolling to ask for monthly votes)(1/2)
Not to mention the Prince of Shuncheng County, even the princes who had dined at the Ninth Prince's Mansion a few times were all interested in it.
There were more than thirty dishes, but less than half of them were recognized, and the rest were really hard to figure out.
Brother Jiu saw everyone's reactions and felt satisfied.
Hundreds of years later, there was a new cuisine called creative cuisine, which later evolved into molecular cuisine.
Creative cuisine means mash-up styles, unusual combinations and unusual cooking methods.
Molecular gastronomy is even more confusing. The main idea is unrecognizable. No one knows what it is until it is eaten.
For example, right now, there is a plate of dishes that looks like a plate of green stones, shiny and shiny.
Everyone was very curious, but they didn't dare to move their chopsticks easily.
How to eat this?
What a stone?
Just take a bite and don't break your teeth.
There is another dish that looks like beef, but whose beef is eaten raw? It looks pink and doesn’t look like it’s cooked?
There was also a plate with a circle of spoons on it, and a trembling egg yolk in each spoon.
The egg yolk looks like it's wrapped in a film, and it looks raw.
And a plate of roasted little red fruits?
Is that a persimmon?
Compared with these, roasted pork, roasted duck, and roasted suckling pig have become common dishes.
Those who went through the first round were familiar dishes.
Everyone is curious.
What everyone pays most attention to are the dishes they haven’t eaten before.
Especially the plate of green stones seemed to be a provocation to everyone.
The eldest brother has long hands and courage. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a stone.
Everyone's eyes were focused on it, except Prince Gong.
Prince Gong and his eldest brother sat next to each other, but the uncle and nephew did not exchange greetings, and neither of them made eye contact.
The table was filled with mostly juniors and young people, and no one noticed anything strange about the two of them.
Qi Xi was standing by, taking a good look at it, and he knew what was going on.
This root still lies in the Battle of Ulan Butong.
At that time, the imperial army lost its fighter plane. Some said it was Fuquan who was fatuous, and some said it was the eldest brother who was holding him back. There are different opinions.
But after that, it was true that there was a estrangement between Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and the eldest brother.
Qi Xi didn't catch up that year, but his cousin Peng Chun and another cousin Lao Manse both caught up.
As a general of the right wing led by Prince Gong, Lao Manse died in the battle of Ulan Butong.
Prince Gong later asked for the favor of the palace to marry his son to Lao Manse's eldest daughter.
Qi Xi took a sip of tea.
Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion have been silent these years. No matter how idle they are, they are still Prince Heshuo, but their children and grandchildren are far away from the royal family.
Because both brothers had a quarrel with Suo'etu and were not close to the prince.
I'm not close to my eldest brother either.
So who do they want to get close to?
Here, Prince Gong, on the other hand, consciously or unconsciously looked at the few people who were subordinate to the eldest brother.
Third elder brother, fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother...
Prince Gong, this generation of princes, behaves very respectfully.
He lost his father when he was young, and the government was unstable. He grew up in the Forbidden City, but he was not considered the owner of the Forbidden City, and he lived in fear.
Later, when Kaifu came out, he was pushed by the emperor to oppose the princes of the Lower Five Banners, and became the emperor's knife to curb the Gongwang clan.
The imperial court and other places were stabilized, and Galdan went south again.
The emperor overcame all opinions and let Prince Yu and Prince Gong lead the troops, hoping that they would lead the soldiers of the Eight Banners to the invincible like the meritorious kings of the past generations.
The result was a slap in the face.
Miserable failure.
Dozens of generals died in the battle.
More than half of the Eight Banners' elite troops were lost.
After being idle for more than ten years, Prince Gong thought that his biggest worry for the rest of his life would be the separation of his sons and the issue of his youngest son's future title.
Only now did he react.
What a beautiful thought.
The emperor, the general of the Yue and Le dynasties, did not mention inheritance when he granted the title, so he asked Prince An to confer the title of Xijue.
Yue Le could not survive even if he died here, so he was reduced to a county king.
An enfeng prince in his family is not yet a meritorious king, so the emperor has the final say on how to pass it on.
Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion and Prince Chun's Mansion, currently only Prince Chun's Mansion has been passed down to the second generation.
Not long after Prince Chunjing's posthumous son was born, he attacked Prince Heshuo. Unfortunately, the child died before he was even one year old.
When we arrive at our second brother's house, it's really hard to say whether we will be princes or princes.
Should I treat my brother badly or my son badly? Do I still have to choose?
Prince Chun's palace could obviously choose an heir, but the emperor was reluctant to choose from someone else, and even regretted half the offer of his own son.
The so-called deep brotherhood is just a joke.
If you want your children and grandchildren to be rich and noble, you must wait for the grace of the next emperor unless you have the merit of following the dragon.
Prince Gong looked around, his eyes fixed on the fourth elder brother, then moved away and looked down at the tenth elder brother.
You can pay attention to these two.
The tenth prince didn't pick up a stone, but he picked up a piece of pink beef, and put it into his mouth with the eighth prince's surprised eyes.
Next to the elder brother, the eyes of the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother also fell on the heads of his chopsticks.
The eldest brother picked it up and knew it in his heart.
It's not a stone, it's not as hard as a stone, and it's not as heavy as a stone.
He put it in his mouth, took a bite, and felt a little bit spicy.
The meaty aroma hits your nose, and the juice in your mouth bursts.
How is it made?
It's meat, not vegetables.
Fragrant and refreshing.
Chili and pepper are also added for a spicy taste.
The eldest brother's eyes suddenly fell on the plate in front of him.
How many "stones" are there on top?
If one person has one piece, is there still enough left?
Just as he was thinking about it, the fifth brother, who was two seats away, couldn't wait and turned the table directly.
The eldest brother immediately made a decision, no matter what, put down the plate for safety, stretched out his chopsticks, and directly picked up two pieces.
With this reaction, everyone knows that this dish is delicious.
The third elder brother hurriedly used his chopsticks and picked up a piece of it and put it in his mouth.
Huh……
It's meat, meat that you don't need to chew at all.
There's still a vegetable flavor here.
Just spicy tongue...
Fourth Brother is still a little reserved. He thinks this dish looks quaint and he plans to try it too.
The fifth elder brother is already like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, swallowing a piece of jujube without tasting it.
The fourth brother also tasted the taste, but his diet was always light, so this was a bit heavy for him. He drank half a cup of tea to suppress the spicy taste in his mouth.
"Hahahaha, brothers, have you figured out what you ate?"
To be continued...
