What she loves most is the lifelike lotus carved from unknown ingredients, standing quietly in a white jade cup, graceful and graceful, like a beauty coming to the world, with a sense of beauty shrouded in mist.
...When the emperor was savoring the delicacy, Jun Feimo suddenly touched Yun Dieyi's ear, and his warm breath brushed her ear, "Sister, let's eat when we go back. Everything here is strange.
The taste is definitely not delicious.”
Not delicious? Has a strange taste?
Upon hearing this, Yun Dieyi immediately put down the silver chopsticks in his hand and turned to look at Jun Feimo beside him, "What's so strange?"
She remembered that Jun Feimo's sense of smell was much sharper than ordinary people. Are these dishes really weird?
If this were the case, wouldn't many people's lives be in danger for no apparent reason at this palace banquet?
In this situation, except for her, the Queen and Jun Feimo did not taste it, everyone else was in the mood for food.
Jun Feimo pointed slowly at the delicacy the emperor was eating, "There was a bitter smell wafting out of the fish's eyes, a bit like medicine. Although it was masked by the smell of fish, Feimo could smell it right away.
There are also other foods that have more or less medicinal flavors hidden in them.”
He had been speaking in Yun Dieyi's ear, so others did not hear the conversation between them. They just thought that they had a close relationship as a couple, and they had to stay together even when eating to have intimate communication.
So people kept looking at them with various eyes, and the meanings in them were all kinds of rich.
Yun Dieyi had no time to care about the meaning of these eyes, but after listening to Jun Feimo's words, a rare feeling of surviving a disaster arose in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the dishes in front of her had lost their charm.
Just now I heard from Jun Feimo that most of these dishes seemed to be adulterated with Chinese medicine.
She knew that some dishes were added with Chinese medicine, which had a tonic effect, could better promote nutrient absorption, and had a certain therapeutic effect, but it would be a little weird if so many dishes were added with Chinese medicine.
So in her opinion, there's something wrong with these dishes.
In order to verify her judgment, she picked up the chopsticks again, picked out a little bit of meat from near the fragrant fish eye that Jun Feimo just mentioned, put it to the tip of her nose and slowly distinguished it, and sure enough, she smelled the bitter taste.
, although very light.
The originally calm face changed slightly. She had done some research on traditional Chinese medicine in the past. If she remembers well, this is the smell of aconite, which is an antispasmodic and can treat rheumatic neuralgia.
"Treatise on the Properties of Medicine" records that "it tastes bitter and pungent, is very hot, and is very poisonous."
She didn't remember that this thing could be used as a dietary supplement, so how could it appear in food.
And this situation does not seem to be intentional by the chefs in the imperial kitchen, because if they were really amateurs like this, they should have been dismissed from their posts and executed, and went to heaven to see God. How could they still be alive today?
With doubts in her heart, she then picked up a lotus petal that she had previously preferred. A faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine floated under her nose, and Yun Dieyi frowned slightly like the indigo in the distant mountains.
Isn't this a Fritillaria? How come it's here to trick my sister?
Not all ancient people liked to drink tea, so why did they still need Fritillaria to relieve coughs and resolve phlegm, clear away heat and disperse stagnation?
What is even more confusing is that the Chinese Medicine Classics have clearly stated that Aconitum and Fritillaria are the opposite, and when mixed together, they are highly toxic.
