The wind in the dusk rustled the leaves in the palace, and the women walked neatly on the pebbled road of the palace carrying fresh ingredients.
The leader seemed to be afraid that if the palace maids walked too slowly, the emperor would blame them if they waited too long. As he walked, he urged: "Hurry, go faster."
"Mommy Wang, we have gone as fast as we can. If we go any further, the sisters may not be able to bear it anymore," the little maid walking behind said as she tried her best to follow the pace of the maid next to her.
"Can't you stand it now? The emperor will blame us if it's too late, and he won't let us off easily. Hurry up and bring me all your ingredients." Grandma Wang glanced coldly at the palace maid who was speaking.
"Yes." When they thought that their emperor was a tyrant, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts and their pace quickened a lot.
When they reached the fork, Grandma Wang and the others bumped into another group of people carrying ingredients.
"Hey, isn't this Grandma Wang? Why, are you here to deliver food to the Emperor?" The person opposite was wearing the same clothes as Grandma Wang, and she looked like she was of the same rank.
Aunt Wang covered her mouth and smiled, and said with a thorn in her words: "They are all working for the Emperor, but Aunt Hu, it's better for you to say it as if I can't give it to the Emperor."
Feeling the low air pressure around him, the chef's hands froze and he suddenly broke out in sweat.
Although this steamed fish is an ordinary food, it is still difficult to make it delicious. It controls the heat very strictly. If you don't pay attention, the texture may be different and the taste may be different.
of difference.
Aunt Hu thought that the Queen Mother was uneasy in the bedroom because she was worried about the Sun family. Then she saw the proud look on Aunt Wang's face, and her face turned green for a moment.
Naturally, Aunt Hu heard the hidden meaning of Aunt Wang's words. She sneered and said, "Then you have to hide it carefully, otherwise the Queen Mother will find out what you did and she won't be able to spare you.
"
Hearing the emperor calling them, the imperial chefs were startled at first, then you pushed me and shouted, walked to Murong Cheng and bowed.
"How?" Murong Cheng stood aside and looked coldly at the chef's chopsticks stretched out in the air.
However, the fish cooked by the emperor is indeed delicious, several times better than the fish he has tasted. This is the first time the emperor has cooked. How could someone who has just learned how to cook make such delicious food? Is it possible?
Is it because it was made by Tianjia, or because his taste has changed.
Zhang Yuchu is the oldest chef in the palace. He has been in the palace for ten years and knows a little bit about everything.
The imperial chef couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't help but guess that the emperor might have done it before.
The imperial chef walked over with trembling legs and saluted the emperor.
He tremblingly picked up the chopsticks on the table, carefully picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. Immediately, the aroma filled his tongue. He tasted it carefully. The taste was full, soft and smooth.
"yes."
The royal chefs took a deep breath and used their noses to inhale as much of the aroma as possible, as if they could eat it this way.
The last person ate only three or five bites, and soon the whole plate of fish was devoured.
So each of them evolved into a flatterer, praising Murong Cheng vigorously.
The next day he learned that his behavior had been impeached by the Minister of Rites, and he was dumbfounded.
"No way, when did I say this? You really know how to joke. We are all working together for the Tian family, so there is no difference between you and me. I am not seeing you, I have to ask you clearly.
Don't worry." Aunt Hu said politely, but in fact she hinted that Aunt Wang had impure thoughts.
He didn't understand why he was accused to the emperor this time when what he did often before was not that serious.
He often led a group of dandy boys to rob civilian girls in the capital and committed all kinds of evil. Yesterday, he even led a group of people on horseback on the streets. Wherever he passed, there was chaos and the people were miserable. He even killed one on the spot.
Ordinary people.
"Zhang Yuchu, is this the first time for the emperor to cook?" Meng Yuchu on the side obviously didn't believe that it was the first time for the emperor to cook, and couldn't help but ask.
This time it was for Miss Jinsheng, and he had to make it perfect.
After a while, the aroma wafting from the pot reached the noses of a group of royal chefs outside.
Murong Cheng was satisfied and looked at the leftovers on the stove. He asked Dexi to put them away. Then he picked up the fresh ingredients that had just been delivered to the table and started cutting them unfamiliarly. After that, he killed a live fish himself and cleaned it carefully.
Remove the internal organs and put them into the pot to cook.
"Since you don't believe that person..." Murong Cheng paused. He didn't know the name of the imperial chef just now.
Aunt Wang gasped behind Aunt Hu: "Bah, what the hell? The people around the Queen Mother still want to interfere in the affairs around the Emperor, you are beautiful. Let's go!"
Before the imperial chef could retreat, Murong Cheng saw the eyes of those hiding in the corner filled with distrust.
"Your Majesty, this fish reminds Wei Chen of the food cooked by his mother."
"Then let's try it. Don't forget, now that the emperor has great power, the queen mother is not as good as before. I also heard that in the early court, the young master of the Sun family was impeached by the emperor by the Minister of Rites. The emperor is already investigating this matter thoroughly.
It's okay, if nothing else happens..."
I never expected that the emperor would have such a talent. He is worthy of being an emperor, and cannot be compared with this group of people.
One bite, um... delicious!
Have another bite.
The common people did not dare to offend Mr. Sun, so they could only tremble and hide in their own corner. They saw with their own eyes that the lady was beaten half to death, and no one dared to come out to stop her.
"Your Majesty, the fish you cooked is really the best I have ever tasted."
This young master, named Sun Ji, is the youngest son of the Hubu Shangshu family and the nephew of the current Queen Mother. He is deeply loved by the Hubu Shangshu and the Queen Mother, and has developed a romantic and dandy character since he was a child.
When they arrived at the imperial dining room, the palace maids filed in and placed the ingredients. As soon as they saw the emperor waving his hand, they couldn't wait to go out. The speed was actually faster than when they came. It can be seen that the emperor has become a tyrant in their hearts over the years.
image.
"You are so bold, you dare not listen to the emperor's orders!" Dexi looked at them without any movement, pinched his orchid fingers and scolded them in a sharp voice.
The other royal chefs hiding in the corner thought that the chef was trying to please the emperor by praising the delicious fish he cooked, and they couldn't help but secretly despise the chef who was trying the dishes for the emperor.
"Come here." He placed the plate beside the stove and casually pointed to an imperial chef huddled in the corner.
When Master Sun saw the lady fall, he walked away.
"Your Majesty, this fish is so delicious. It leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth. It's juicy, crispy and delicious. It's the most delicious fish I've ever eaten. The craftsmanship of the Tian family is beyond the comparison of us mere mortals." The imperial chef praised.
He said, and even flattered the emperor in a stupid way.
"Go down." After getting the answer he wanted, Murong Cheng directly waved his hand for the imperial chef to leave.
Originally, Mr. Sun wanted to send some money to the family of the deceased to get out. Unexpectedly, the woman refused to accept the money, which angered Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun directly ordered someone to whip the woman down, causing her to fall to the ground.
Sorry.
"Zhang Yuchu." Dexi reminded from the side.
When Dexi saw that the emperor's expression was wrong, he quickly drove the group of royal chefs out, and then he stood there like a stake.
The emperor not only made this dish, but also optimized its shortcomings. He was shocked on the spot after eating it.
"Come on, let's taste how this tastes." He pointed to the food just cooked on the stove.
"This is not necessarily the case. We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, rule the world with filial piety. If the Queen Mother wants to kill you, the Emperor can't stop her." Grandma Hu looked at Grandma Wang arrogantly and said proudly.
But the emperor has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been seen cooking.
Now, all the imperial chefs believed that their emperor's cooking was delicious and that he was extremely talented. Chef Zhang did not deliberately try to please the emperor.
"Humph, we'll see! Let's go." Aunt Hu said fiercely, calling to the maids behind her, and without looking back, she waved her sleeves and left with a group of maids.
“…”
After this time, he may understand that the era of the Queen Mother has passed.
After a group of palace maids left, Murong Cheng relaxed his brows, picked up the pot and spoon on the side and put the steamed fish that had just been cooked in the pot on the plate.
His tiger body couldn't help but trembled, and his eyes lit up. He didn't care what the emperor would do to him. He just felt that the fish was so delicious. He wanted to take another bite, but the emperor had already taken away the steamed plate.
He also thought about the apprentice he took in two years ago. At that time, he thought he was very talented and he learned his unique skill Kung Pao Chicken in five days. Now, looking at the emperor, he learned his most rare skill steaming in less than a day.
Yu. He just felt that his previous situation was smaller, and the emperor was the one who was truly talented in cooking.
So he must be gifted!
"Oh, what that Chef Zhang said, then come and try it yourself."
"I am an old man next to the Emperor. If the Queen Mother wants to punish me, she has to think carefully."
The imperial chefs all lowered their heads like quails and dared not move.
The imperial chefs were all frightened by Dexi and rushed to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
Seeing these royal chefs fawning over him, Murong Cheng frowned.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the people arranged by the Queen Mother are different. They know the general situation so well. They arrange things around the Emperor properly. Doesn't it mean that the Queen Mother even knows what I did on that day..."
Grandma Wang was not someone to be trifled with, so she made such a move without concealing it.
The imperial chef looked along his hand and saw that the food on the plate was smoking white, had a medium color, and looked extremely delicious.
The imperial chefs all had endless aftertaste, obviously they hadn't eaten enough.
"Come here to me."
Then I put down the pot and spoon, picked up the plate and smelled it. I thought it tasted very good.
"Yes, the emperor has been raised by Gaozong since he was a child. He is always served by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. There is no need to ask this little ancestor to cook. When Zhongzong succeeds to the throne, even if he is not favored, the emperor will still be a prince.
All they learned were the Six Arts of a Gentleman and strategies for governing the country." Zhang Yuchu said in a low voice. After all, he was talking about the emperor and he didn't dare to be heard.
"Oh, what a good seedling! Why is he just an emperor?" Meng Yuchu said regretfully.
"Xu, please lower your voice. The emperor is the emperor, not us who cook. Why, do you still want the emperor to change his profession to become a chef?" Zhang Yuchu said.
"Don't say this again, or you may be convicted of treason, and all the nine tribes will be implicated." Wang Yuchu reminded in a low voice.
