Everyone understands,
The proportion of purchases is less than 40%,
I can't see the update for the time being..
Xue Baoqin smiled and said, "This is a dish from Sichuan called hot pot. It's normal that Your Majesty hasn't seen it before. After all, this is not something elegant,
I'm afraid that the imperial kitchen won't present it to Your Majesty. "
The Emperor looked at Xue Baoqin and said with a faint smile, "Since it's something not elegant, my beloved concubine actually dares to make it for me. Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry?"
Xue Baoqin bowed to the Emperor again,
She said calmly behind the veil, "This is a dish that the people of Sichuan like to eat.
Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler who cares about all the people in the world. I think you're willing to try the hobbies of the ordinary people … "After saying that, she revealed a sly smile and said," Moreover,
Baoqin doesn't have many dishes that she's good at.
This hotpot dish was the best one they had ever made. 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 out loud.
He reached out and pulled Baoqin's hand to let her sit down beside him. He asked, "What's the origin of these two soup bases?"
Baoqin pointed at the white soup first and said, "The clear soup here is made of pig bones, chicken bones, and several kinds of mushrooms.
It's fresh and fragrant.
The taste is mellow. Some tomatoes are added to enhance the taste.
It's sour and very appetizing. "
The Emperor said, "Tomatoes? There are some plants from overseas planted in the palace, but they are only used for ornamental purposes. It turns out that they can be used to cook? "
"Of course they can. Tomatoes can not only be used to cook hot pot, but also be fried with eggs or simply mixed with salad. They are 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, wild pepper, star anise and other spices. It has a strong aroma of butter and a rich spicy taste. In addition, I added rock sugar and fermented wine to enhance the flavor. The more I eat, the more I want to eat it! "
The Emperor looked at the bubbling red soup and said, "This dish is very suitable for winter. It must be good for warming 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, meatballs, and other dishes that were not easy to cook. Then, he cooked vegetables, thin slices of meat, and other dishes that were easy to cook. Not long after, Baoqin picked up some dishes and put them in the Emperor's bowl, saying, "It's ready to eat. Your Majesty, try it."
Because he was afraid that the Emperor wouldn't be able to adapt to the strong red soup, Baoqin put the dishes in the clear soup for him and said, "Your Majesty, before eating, stir it in the dipping sauce."
The Emperor looked at the small blue and white bowl with the dipping sauce. Seeing that there was sesame oil, chopped green onion, and coriander, he asked, "Eat it with sesame oil? Why is that? "
"The dipping sauce is to enhance the flavor and neutralize the dry and spicy taste. Sesame oil is necessary. The rest can be added according to personal taste. There are people in Sichuan who are fond of spicy food. They eat it with dried chili powder! "
The Emperor looked at the red soup with a lot of dried chili and said, "That's really a strong taste. If it were 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 good food."
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 tea. He praised, "It's fragrant and 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. Furthermore, the palace gates will be closed soon. "
Although you are the Emperor and can call the palace gates as you wish, if people say that you forgot the time to return to the palace because you were looking at a beauty, wouldn't that be bad?
The Emperor wasn't an incapable ruler. Although he was a bit reluctant, he still stood up and said to Baoqin, "I should return. 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 take a look at you. "
Baoqin's beautiful eyes looked at the Emperor without blinking. He gently bowed and said, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."
After sending off the Emperor, the people in Heng Wu Garden couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although the Emperor was famous for his good temper, he still had his power. Following the idea that accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger, everyone was still trembling with fear. 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'm 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 ever since she left home. If the Young Lady didn't want her, where could she go?
