The emperor and the others were curious and looking forward to it, but in order to create a surprise, Yun Shu asked Qin Zheng to accompany the emperor and the others, while he quietly went to the imperial dining room.
When the people in the imperial kitchen learned that this fairy-like regent wanted to cook, they thought she must be joking. Her hands didn't look like those of a cook. Especially when Yun Ji asked them to just put all the ingredients together.
After cleaning and cutting everything, there is nothing to do.
The people in the imperial kitchen looked at each other, and then exited the kitchen, leaving the space to Yun Xi.
Not long after, they smelled a particularly fragrant smell.
"This is?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Could it be that they had guessed wrong? The Princess Regent really knew how to cook? And she was very good at it?
Just when everyone was curious, the kitchen door opened again.
I saw Yun Ji coming out and asking someone to go in and pick up things.
So, when everyone entered, they saw a copper pot with a lid on it, and a copper stove. Apart from that, the only remaining ingredients were clean and chopped raw ingredients.
Everyone was confused again.
"Let's go."
Yun Ji opened his mouth and took the lead in bringing some raw vegetables.
A strange scene appeared in the palace. The princess regent, who was as beautiful as a fairy, walked in the front carrying a portion of raw vegetables, followed by a string of eunuchs and palace maids carrying pots, stoves, and various raw ingredients.
Everyone heard that the Princess Regent wanted to cook herself, but this...
The Princess Regent would never invite the Emperor and the others to eat lettuce, would she?
The palace people continued to be confused.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
When Yun Ji went to cook, Qin Zheng was not idle. He asked people to place the tableware directly on the stone table in the garden pavilion outside the palace. Then they would sit around the table, eat and enjoy the scenery.
.
Ah Ji said it would be more atmospheric this way.
Although Qin Zheng didn't understand, he still obeyed the instructions honestly.
The emperor found it strange and didn't say anything. However, they were more curious about what Yun Ji wanted to eat. However, no matter how they tried to make insinuations, Qin Zheng refused to say anything. This was to keep the mystery to the end, which made the emperor and others even more curious.
Already.
At this moment, Yun Ji finally came back.
"Ah, this..."
The emperor and others were dumbfounded when they saw Yun Xi bringing a group of palace attendants carrying pots, stoves, and ingredients.
This was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Yun Ji saluted them, and then ordered the eunuch carrying the stove to place the copper stove on the stone table in the pavilion, and then asked someone to put the covered pot on it. Then he asked the eunuch to put the stove on.
When it is put on fire, it originally had some fragrance, but now it is even more fragrant!
"What's in the pot? Why does it smell so good?" Qin Miaomiao's nose twitched, feeling that she was drooling from the smell.
"Yes, Ah Ji, what delicious food did you cook?" The queen also became curious, and she took another look at the various raw ingredients placed on the table, "Why don't all these meats and vegetables need to be cooked?
?All raw?”
Although she heard that some distant overseas countries eat raw food, she couldn't accept it.
Seeing that everyone was really curious, Yun Ji raised her lips and smiled. Then she bent down and opened the lid of the pot. Instantly, a strange fragrance hit her nostrils.
"What's this?"
Everyone saw that the copper pot was different from ordinary pots. It was half the same. Half was a red soup base, and the other half was a clear soup base with bacteria and other things. They thought it was very novel for a while, and it was just soup, so they couldn't be allowed to drink soup.
.
Yun Shu smiled and asked someone to put the oil dishes she had prepared before answering:
"This is the hot pot base. Considering that some people may not like spicy food, I made two soup bases, one red and one clear."
"Hot pot?" The emperor and the others were curious, but they also sat around the stone table consciously.
Yun Ji nodded, then took a piece of meat with serving chopsticks and rinsed it in red soup, while explaining:
"Hot pot is to prepare the hot pot soup base first, and then put your favorite ingredients into the pot and cook them. After the special soup base is cooked, you can then dip it in the seasonings and you can eat it. Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law Emperor, you guys try it
Try it! Ah Hao, Ah Zhe, Miaomiao, you guys also have a try."
The emperor and the others looked at each other, and then saw that Qin Zheng had calmly started to cook the dishes. They also started to move their hands, which shocked the eunuchs and maids waiting around them.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty—"
"Hot pot is only fun if you make it yourself." Qin Zheng naturally saw the thoughts of these palace people and said immediately.
When the emperor and the empress heard this, they immediately said: "Let's step back first and do it ourselves."
It's really novel to do it yourself.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes such as Qin Hao and the princess were usually the masters who opened their mouths for food and stretched out their hands for clothes. Today, they made their own food. The three brothers and sisters also found it very fresh. After trying the red soup, Qin Miaomiao immediately shouted
Up:
“So spicy, so spicy!”
Her appearance made everyone laugh, and Yun Ji quickly asked someone to bring over the pickled plum juice she had prepared.
"This tastes delicious." Qin Miaomiao drank the sour plum juice and immediately felt comfortable.
"If Miaomiao can't eat spicy food, just use the clear soup on the side to rinse it." Yun Ji said.
"No -" Who knew that Qin Miaomiao shouted that it was spicy, but continued to rinse the bottom of the red soup pot. "Although it is spicy, the hotter it is, the more it is hidden."
Qin Hao and the others also nodded. Although it was very spicy, I had to say that the spicier it was, the more I wanted to eat it.
Yun Shu smiled, this is the charm of hot pot.
Everyone enjoyed this meal very much.
The emperor and empress were usually very careful about eating, but today they also had a round belly. The couple looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah Ji, I didn't expect that your cooking skills are really good." The queen praised Yun Ji, "And this hot pot is really novel. I have never eaten it before. Where did you learn about this method?"
Qin Hao and others were also very curious. They thought they had eaten a lot of delicacies from all over the world, but this was indeed the first time they had eaten hot pot.
Yun Shu said with a smile: "I accidentally saw this method in a book, but it was slightly different. Then I thought about it myself, and finally figured out hot pot." This is of course false, but
There was nothing she could do, she couldn't say that hot pot was very common in modern times, almost everyone knew about it.
"Ah Ji is really smart." The Queen praised again. Others may have just read books, but she didn't expect that Ah Ji actually figured out a new way to eat.
"Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law Emperor, do you think this hot pot tastes okay?"
"Okay, excellent!" The emperor also nodded in approval.
"If you say that, I'll feel relieved." Yun Shu suddenly laughed, "I'm really afraid that when the store opens, no one will patronize it."
