Chapter 23: It's delicious

Of course, this good word from Wu Zetian is not groundless.

No jokes are made, of course there is no falsehood.

After putting this porridge in your mouth, the first feeling is that it is extremely sweet and not greasy. It is just a small bowl of rice porridge, a rare thing, but when you eat it, you feel a smooth and refreshing feeling.

Wu Zetian also usually eats porridge. There are as many as 1,600 people responsible for the supply of food in the palace, with a huge lineup. She usually eats a wide variety of porridge, but today's ordinary white porridge always has a different kind of difference.

In fact, the most test of cooking porridge is the skill of heat. Those imperial chefs do not know how to master the heat. Everyone has their own set of experience, but Qin Shaoyou is different. In the later generations, cooking skills have become a science. In the diet world, even the amount of firewood and what kind of firewood are burned, there are accurate data support. If you want to make a pot of good porridge, any errors will occur, and the taste will be very different.

Moreover, the water used by Qin Shaoyou to make porridge is broth, and the broth is made with large bones. At the same time, some shrimps and mushrooms are added, and the residue is removed, and only the rich aroma is taken, and then rice is boiled. If this porridge was spread all over the streets and alleys in later generations, it would not be surprising, but in this era, it would have a different flavor.

Just like sweet milk, most people don’t think it’s strange if they eat it. However, if a baby who has only eaten a mother RU, the taste is very different. Therefore, in many people’s impression, children are often delicious and can eat anything with relish. This is not actually delicious, but their taste is more sensitive and they have never tasted all kinds of flavors. Any new snack is enough to make them salivate for a few days.

Therefore, the food industry must be innovative at any time, because no matter how delicious the food is, it will gradually become boring after eating too much. Qin Shaoyou's bowl of porridge looks dull, but this taste is the first time for Wu Zetian, not to mention that his skill in making porridge is indeed superb. After first taste, it completely gives people a taste of deliciousness that subverts the taste.

Wu Zetian was about to continue eating porridge, but Qin Shaoyou said, "Your Majesty, if you want to eat this porridge, you have to go with side dishes."

Women actually have some delicious nature, even Wu Zetian is the same. Wu Zetian became interested and said, "What side dish?"

Qin Shou, behind Qin Shaoyou, hurriedly served a stack of dishes, which were peeled black eggs.

This black egg is not big, just like a bird egg, but it is pitch black all over, but there are many fine textures on the egg, which looks very special.

"What's this?"

“Quail eggs.”

The imperial chef Wang An, who was standing beside him, felt a little guilty when he saw that His Majesty also praised Qin Shaoyou. In fact, he knew that he had lost since His Majesty ate the porridge. Although both of them received good reviews, Qin Shaoyou made the most common white porridge, while he made Ruyi Soup. It was obvious that he took advantage of it. Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyou made another egg. He was a little dissatisfied and couldn't help saying, "Since it is a quail egg, why is it dark all over?"

"Well..." Qin Shaoyou smiled, and then said something that made Wang An vomit blood: "Secret."

Wang An said: "You dare to give this kind of thing to His Majesty?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "I can't eat it, I dare to present it to you? Your Majesty, this is the unique secret skill of the grass people. Your Majesty might as well give it a try."

Wang An still had to argue, but Wu Zetian just smiled and said, "Give it."

Wu Zetian was not like those ladies of the family. She was wary of fresh affairs and was not pretentious at all. She directly stretched out her fingers and picked up a small pine quail egg. She first looked at it on her hand. Seeing that it was dark and bright, there was a white pattern on it. When she smelled it, she felt a special fragrance swelled up. Then, she put it in her mouth very generously. After chewing it, she frowned first, then smiled and said, "It's delicious."

There is another good word, but this time, there is one more food.

The source of this pineapple egg is the salted duck egg from the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the pineapple egg began to appear. Now here, this unique food is enough to convince Wu Zetian.

What's more, Wu Zetian had just eaten the sweet rice porridge and took another bite of the pineapple egg, which made the pineapple egg even more intense.

After receiving Wu Zetian's praise, Qin Shaoyou seemed dissatisfied and said modestly: "Your Majesty is so serious. In fact, the imperial chefs in the palace are all masters of cooking. The grass-roots only satisfy His Majesty's freshness."

Originally, Wang An wanted to criticize Qin Shaoyou, but Qin Shaoyou suddenly turned to praise him, which made him slightly surprised. If he made things difficult for Qin Shaoyou at this time, he would seem a little sarcastic and mean in front of His Majesty.

Wu Zetian was originally here, just doing it. Who knew that she had tasted unexpected food and her mood improved: "I didn't expect you, a young man in the city, to be humble, I really couldn't imagine." She was so beautiful that she finally began to look at Qin Shaoyou in person.

In fact, no matter how well Qin Shaoyou's porridge and eggs were made, he was just a chef. Wu Zetian said it was good. After all, no matter how good the chef's skills were, it was impossible for Wu Zetian to be able to see Wu Zetian's skills. However, Qin Shaoyou's humble words just now were very consistent with the moral concepts of this era, so that Wu Zetian re-examined Qin Shaoyou.

This guy... is quite handsome. At a young age, he has a different kind of bookish spirit. He doesn't look like he is from a market, especially his eyes...

When Wu Zetian saw Qin Shaoyou's eyes, his interest increased. This guy's eyes seemed to have a deep feeling that was inconsistent with his age. At a young age, he was very thoughtful, which was a bit interesting.

After receiving the praise from Wu Zetian for the third time, Qin Shaoyou did not speak humbly, and deliberately did not take Wu Zetian's words, but said with a smile: "Actually, this porridge has some origin."

Shangguan Wan'er looked around and found that Qin Shaoyou was not afraid of being in front of the emperor. Instead, she was talking freely. She couldn't help but be surprised. How could she be? She immediately realized the key inside. Many people talked to the emperor. Even if they were from a good background, they often had whatever His Majesty said and what He should do. All his power was in the hands of His Majesty. So after saying a few words, His Majesty lost interest. After giving in, he got out of here.

But this guy didn't play according to common sense. His Majesty praised him. He did not follow the words, but instead triggered the next topic. This not only required courage, but also extremely meticulous thought. Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Shaoyou carefully and thought in her heart: "This guy... I actually underestimated him. Not only did he be thief, but he was also very thoughtful, which made people feel a little unsightly."

After hearing Qin Shaoyou talk about the origin of the porridge, Wu Zetian naturally seemed very interested and couldn't help but say, "Oh, does the small rice porridge have a origin?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "The rice in this porridge is produced in Mengxi, a suburb of Shendu. Originally, there are very few rice production in Jiangbei, but Mengxi has a wide range of waterways. In fact, it was originally wilderness, but in the first year of Shangyuan, when the late emperor was there, Your Majesty once made a suggestion to persuade farmers and serenity to reduce taxes and labor. The late emperor approved the report, not only that, the late emperor and Your Majesty also went to Mengxi to reclaim a few acres of wasteland. With the late emperor and Your Majesty as examples, the people rushed to gather here to clear the land and loosen the soil. In just a few years, a hundred miles of fertile soil had been created there. People in Shendu said that Mengxi's rice tasted better than the rice in Yangzhou. When my father was alive, he had to eat ingredients. This rice was only recognized Mengxi, and other places often had a worse taste."

Qin Shaoyou said the causes and consequences, and did not forget to shake his head. He was already good at eloquence and clear logic. After a while, he glanced at Wu Zetian and then felt relieved, because Wu Zetian's mouth curled up, and even his eyes were filled with a smile.
