Everyone understands,
The purchase ratio is less than 40%,
I can't see the update for the time being..
Xue Baoqin bowed to the Emperor again, and said unhurriedly from behind the veil, "This is a dish that the commoners of Sichuan like to eat.
Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler,
Your heart is for the people of the world,
Presumably, you are willing to try the hobby of the ordinary people... "After saying that, she revealed a sly smile and said," Moreover,
Baoqin doesn't have many good dishes, and this hot pot is the best.
She just wants to give the best to Your Majesty,
Will Your Majesty be angry because of Baoqin's sincerity? "
Baoqin's words obviously pleased the Emperor, and he laughed loudly,
He reached out and pulled Baoqin's hand to let her sit down beside him,
He asked, "These two kinds of soup bases,
What's the background? "
Baoqin pointed at the white soup first,
She said, "The clear soup here is made from pig bones, chicken bones, and several kinds of mushrooms. It's fresh and fragrant, and the taste is mellow.
Some tomatoes are added to enhance the taste,
It's sour,
It's very appetizing. "
The Emperor said, "Tomatoes?
There are some plants from overseas planted in the palace,
But they're only used for viewing,
It turns out..,
Can they be used to cook? "
"Of course,
Tomatoes can not only be used to cook hot pot,
They can also be fried with eggs, or simply mixed with cold sauce. They're all very delicious. "
"Well, in that case, when I return to the palace, I will ask the imperial chef to try using tomatoes to cook.
Then, what's the special about the red soup on this side? "
Baoqin said in a gentle tone, "The red soup is made with butter, dried chili, pepper, wild mountain pepper, star anise, and other spices. It has a rich butter aroma and rich spiciness.
In addition, rock sugar and fermented rice wine are added to increase the taste. The taste is rich and spicy, making people want to eat it more and more! "
The Emperor looked at the boiling red soup and said, "This dish is very suitable for winter. I think it's good to warm the body."
Baoqin smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, but in Sichuan, even if it's the dog days of summer, there are still many people who like to eat hotpot!
Even if he was shirtless and sweating profusely, he still wouldn't put down his chopsticks. "
The Emperor found Baoqin's words interesting, so he smiled and said, "Then my beloved concubine, why don't you hurry up and cook the dishes? I can't wait to taste your cooking."
When Baoqin heard this, he knew that it was impossible to count on the Emperor to do it himself. He could only cook the vegetables one by one.
First, he cooked potatoes, winter melon, and meatballs, which were not easy to cook. Then, he cooked vegetables, vermicelli, and thin slices of meat, which were easy to cook.
Not long after, Baoqin picked up some dishes and placed them in the Emperor's bowl. "It's ready to eat. Your Majesty, try it."
Baoqin was afraid that the Emperor would not be able to adapt to the strong taste of the red soup, so he gave him all the dishes in the clear soup and reminded him, "Your Majesty, before you eat, stir them in the dipping sauce first."
The Emperor looked at the small blue and white bowl containing the dipping sauce. Seeing that there was sesame oil, chopped green onion, and coriander inside, he asked, "Eat with sesame oil?
Why is that? "
"The dipping sauce is to enhance the flavor and neutralize the spicy taste. The sesame oil is a must, and the rest can be added according to your personal taste.
There are people in Sichuan who like spicy food and want to eat it with dried chili powder! "
The Emperor looked at the red soup with quite a bit of dried chili and was speechless. "Then the taste is really strong. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to stand it."
The clear soup was fresh and sweet with a hint of sourness.
The red soup was hot and spicy, but it made people want to eat more. It was so spicy that they couldn't help but continue eating.
The Emperor was very satisfied with the meal. In the end, he put down his chopsticks and praised, "My beloved concubine's cooking is really good. When you enter the palace in the future, I will have the good fortune to eat."
Removing the leftovers, Baoqin personally served the Emperor fragrant tea and said, "This is the new biluochun tea made this year. Your Majesty, try it and see how it tastes."
Hearing this, the head eunuch standing next to the Emperor was about to speak, but he saw that the Emperor had already opened the lid of the teacup and took a sip of the tea. He praised, "The fragrance is pleasant. It's very good."
When the eunuch saw this, he swallowed the words that he didn't say before.
The Emperor had always only drunk Longjing tea and didn't like biluochun tea.
Now that he drank biluochun tea and praised it, it could only be said that beauty was bewitching!
After a cup of tea, the sky had also darkened.
The head eunuch looked at the Emperor who was chatting with Baoqin and didn't realize that it was late. He could only loyally say in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace.
If we delay any longer, the sun will have completely set.
Moreover, the palace gates will be closed soon. "
Although you are the Emperor and can call the palace gates at will, if people say that you forgot the time to return to the palace in order to see a beauty, wouldn't that be bad?
The Emperor wasn't an incapable ruler. Although he was reluctant, he still stood up and looked at Baoqin and said, "I should go back.
Take good care of yourself. If your face doesn't get better, send someone to report back and I will arrange for an imperial physician to come and see you. "
Baoqin's limpid eyes looked at the Emperor without blinking. He gently bowed and said, "Respectfully sending off Your Majesty."
After sending off the Emperor, everyone in Heng Wu Garden couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although the Emperor was famous for his good temper, his power was still there. Everyone still trembled with fear as they adhered to the idea that being with the Emperor was like being with a tiger.
Only Bao Qin was able to handle the situation with ease and was not in a hurry.
Xiao Luo looked at her young lady with eyes full of admiration and said, "Young lady, you are really brave. When I saw the Emperor, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Young lady, you said whatever you wanted to say. You are really amazing!"
Baoqin glanced at her servant girl who was as timid as a mouse and said, "The Emperor is also a person, not a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Aiyo, my young lady, how can you say that about the Emperor?"
Xiao Luo ran to the door in a panic and looked outside. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She rejoiced and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness. He is already far away …"
Baoqin saw this and laughed, "You are so timid. When you enter the palace with me in the future, won't you be trembling with fear all day long?"
At this time, Baoqin also walked over. He frowned and said, "Xiao Luo, this servant girl is indeed a little timid. She is enough to serve you outside, but if you bring her into the palace, I am afraid that she is not presentable.
Why don't you change her? "
Xiao Luo heard this and immediately became nervous. She hurriedly knelt down and said, "Young lady, don't abandon Xiao Luo!
This servant, this servant will change. I really will … "As she said this, she was so scared that she almost cried.
She had followed the young lady since she left home. If the young lady didn't want her, where could she go?
Baoqin said, "Get up. I didn't say that I don't want you. Look at how scared you are …" As she said this, she turned to look at Baoqin, who had a disapproving look, and said, "Xiao Luo, this servant girl, is indeed timid, but she is loyal enough.
I don't like that kind of servant girl who is so bold that she can go over her master and make her own decisions. She doesn't even know that she has caused trouble for her master.
Xiao Luo is very good. I like this kind of girl. "
Baoqin thought about Lin Daiyu's Zi Juan, and the expression on his face eased, "Indeed, rather than having that kind of bold and reckless servant girl, it is better to have a timid one. At least, she won't cause trouble for her master."
After a pause, she talked about Baoqin's face again, "I checked carefully before. Among the things that we took from the Jia family, there is only one thing that you like to use, but we don't like to use."
Baoqin had already taken off her veil at this time. She didn't want to be surrounded by it all the time, so she asked, "What is it?"
Baoqin said, "It is the same kind of jasmine dew. It is drunk with water.
Mother and I dislike its strong fragrance, but little sister likes it very much. She often drinks it. Thinking about it, it is because of this that the accident happened, right? "
At this time, Baoqin's servant girl, Ying 'er, had already brought over all the jasmine dew. There were seven or eight bottles in total. They were as tall as a child's palm, and there were several small bottles.
The transparent crystal bottles were filled with light yellow dew. There was a cork on the top and a dark red wax seal on the top.
On the wax seal, there was a small seal of the place where it was produced. It was very delicate.
Baoqin picked up a bottle of jasmine dew and looked at it carefully, saying, "If something really happened here, I don't know how they did it.
These bottles are all sealed! "
Baoqin also picked up a bottle and looked at it. She immediately understood the key, "Sister, look at this cork. Is there anything wrong with it?"
When Baoqin heard this, she carefully looked at the cork on the bottle. After a while, she suddenly realized, "Oh, there seems to be a small hole on the cork that was poked by a needle!"
Baoqin nodded and said, "That's right. She first poked a small hole with a needle, then dipped the needle in the harmful things and inserted it. Isn't that enough?"
When Baoqin heard this, she couldn't help but gnash her teeth, "What a kind and benevolent Second Madam. She is actually so vicious!"
The things that came from the Jia family in their Heng Wu Garden were all handled by Lady Wang.
If it wasn't her doing, who else could it be?
Baoqin sat down on the chair and thought for a while. Her face suddenly showed a guilty expression, "Speaking of this matter, it's my fault for talking too much.
Previously, I didn't guard against her at all. Sometimes, when I was chatting with her, I couldn't help but mention the hobbies of everyone in Heng Wu Garden.
Presumably, it was at that time that she noticed that you were the only one who liked this jasmine dew.
It's all my fault … "
Xue Baoqin smiled and said, "This is a dish that was passed down from Sichuan. It's called hot pot.
It's normal that His Majesty has never seen it before.
After all, this is considered an unrefined dish. The imperial kitchen probably wouldn't present it to His Majesty. "
