Chapter 212: The Flooding Scourge Really Fragrances 8
Chapter 212 The flooding disaster is so delicious (8)
After bowing to his imperial brother, Zhaohua sat next to Yu Lan.
After taking a look at the people standing outside the pavilion, Zhaohua moved closer to Yu Lan and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is that fat beetle really edible?"
Listen to Zhaohua ask this.
Yu Lan nodded, "Yes, it can be eaten. I ate it when I was a child and there was no problem. However, we have to wait for the doctor's confirmation to see if everyone can eat it."
The fat beetle has a hard shell. Since it is called a bug, no one dares to eat it. In other words, no one would think that it is edible. Even Yu Lan only knew that it was edible after eating it accidentally.
food.
Just as he was talking, he saw a palace servant coming over with a tray. He was the chef of the imperial kitchen. The person leading the way was the head of the imperial kitchen.
"I (slave) give your regards to the Emperor, Princess Chen, Concubine Chen..."
Seeing the people from the imperial kitchen coming over, Eunuch Daji stood beside Zhao Chengji and said calmly: "Send it up..."
"yes……"
The palace servants were waiting outside the pavilion. The manager of the imperial dining room personally took the tray from the palace servants' hands and walked up the steps into the pavilion.
Putting the tray he was carrying next to the stone table, Chef Jiang took out the big bowl containing the fat beetle from the tray and placed it on the stone table.
There were seven or eight fat beetles in a large bowl. However, the fat beetles that had been steamed had changed color. From blue-gray shells to yellow, they looked better than before.
He reached out and picked up the garlic sauce that Yu Lan had prepared before and put them on the stone table.
Jiang Yuchu then put away the tray, bent down and stood aside respectfully.
Zhaohua smelled a faint fragrance, which was very fresh.
"Is this really edible?"
"I seem to really smell the fragrance."
She was not new to the world, but why did she want to eat these insects when she saw them? She felt like she was drooling. Could it be that she didn't eat enough today, so she had this idea.
Looking at the neatly arranged fat beetles in the bowl, Zhaohua stretched out his hand and said, "How about I try this, princess..."
Zhao Chengji raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute..."
Just know how to eat.
His sister really dares to eat anything.
"Ask the deputy commander to bring his dog."
There is a dog in the palace, that is, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. The native dog raised by his subordinate is called Erbao. It is also the only dog that can enter and leave the palace freely.
"Physician Wang, come over and check to see if it is edible."
The emperor spoke, and Dr. Wang, who was waiting outside the pavilion, respectfully stepped forward and bowed.
"I obey the decree."
Behind him, several ministers who were summoned into the palace saw this and unconsciously moved closer, trying to get a better look.
Jingle bell~
The clear and sweet sound of bells came from outside the pavilion. Hearing the sound, Yu Lan turned his head slightly and glanced outside the pavilion.
In the sight, I saw a man about thirty years old walking over with a native dog. The native dog had gray and black fur and a golden bell hanging on its neck. At this moment, it had its ears erect and looked quite energetic.
of.
After the man holding the dog came closer, he knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, Xu Ming is here to see the Emperor."
Zhao Chengji glanced at him and said calmly: "Bring the dog here."
Xu Ming: "Yes..."
The next step is to personally verify whether this fat beetle is edible.
Doctor Wang reached out to pick up a fat beetle and broke it open. Instantly, a strong fragrance hit his nostrils. It was golden yellow and mixed with some white.
It smells really good.
But, it looks yellow, like... it's really edible.
Although he was not sure whether it could really be eaten, as an imperial physician, he could be sure that even if he ate it, he would be fine.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the meat of this fat beetle. I can be sure that even if you really eat it, nothing will happen to you. However, I have to take a closer look to see what specific effects it has and whether it can be eaten normally.
food"
Looking at the dog that was already approaching, Doctor Wang stretched out his hand and handed the fat beetle meat that had been opened from the shell towards Erbao.
As a cold-blooded native dog, it is impossible to be captured by a piece of food. I looked at the food that was handed to me and just licked it a little.
Then, he opened his mouth without restraint and ate it.
After eating the fat beetle's meat, Erbao wagged his tail and continued to sit on the ground and looked at Doctor Wang. Obviously, he wanted to eat more.
After waiting for a while, Erbao still looked very energetic, which confirmed what the imperial doctor said, even if he really ate it, nothing would happen.
Seeing that Erbao was fine after eating, Zhaohua immediately became energetic.
As Princess Zhaohua, who is loved by thousands of people in the Northern Kingdom, she is very talented in the aspect of 'eating'. She can even eat like an emperor turning over brands. As you can imagine, she can eat anything.
Nothing left, this sentence is so apt to describe her.
Eating insects is a bit exciting and a bit exciting.
Speaking of which, this fat beetle obviously had so many legs and was big and round. It was impossible to eat such a big insect even if he thought about it. But at this moment, Zhaohua actually wanted to eat it and swallowed it.
The feeling of saliva. Could it be that my taste is getting stronger and stronger? Now I start to want to eat some weird things?
If you do this, you can still recruit a prince-in-law in the future.
never mind.
Even if you don't have a consort, it doesn't matter. It's better to let this princess be beautiful alone.
Reaching out to pick up a fat beetle, Zhaohua looked at it and said, "Okay, let's try it first! Let me, the princess, try it first. The so-called sacrifice of me will benefit thousands of families."
I really want to eat when I see her.
The imperial doctor standing aside hurriedly stopped him, "This is absolutely impossible. Princess, you are a rich man. How can I let you take risks? Or, let me try it first, and then find out what effect it has. How can the food be combined with the medicine?"
Likewise, even if it is edible, sometimes it may not be suitable for some people.”
Listening to Dr. Wang's nagging, Zhaohua raised his hand and said, "Then you go first."
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Although I had decided to try it first, looking at the hard-shelled insects in the big bowl made me feel a little numb.
Although it smells very fragrant, what it contains is a fat beetle. Just looking at it makes me unable to stop talking.
Eat insects.
For the sake of all people in the world.
For the sake of the common people who are still suffering from the devastation of fat beetles, I eat.
Thinking of this, Imperial Physician Wang stretched out his hand and was about to pick up one to try, but just when his finger touched the fat beetle, he saw someone was one step ahead of him.
Slender fingers.
Bright yellow sleeves.
"I'll come first."
Since it can't kill people, it's just a worm, so what's so scary? As an emperor, since he wants people to eat this thing, he has to come up with a convincing reason.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. You are the king of a country, and you are responsible for thousands of people. How can you take risks? I haven't figured out the use of this thing yet..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Chengji had already stretched out his hand to open it and put it to his lips to taste it.
This taste.
Soft, waxy and mellow, very delicious. After careful aftertaste, it has a light fragrance.
