Chapter 249 His Majesty is Greedy Again
Chapter 249 His Majesty is Greedy Again
In the imperial study, Emperor Jingning closed the memorial and rubbed his eyebrows gently.
Andersen, who was waiting on the side, promptly brought over a bamboo tube filled with taro milk tea and inserted a reed straw.
"Your Majesty, please have some milk tea."
Emperor Jingning took the milk tea, stirred it with a reed straw, and then took a sip of the milk tea, along with the taro paste.
After being stirred with a reed straw, the taro paste and milk tea are mixed together.
The milk tea is smooth and refreshing, the taro paste is soft and delicate, and has a light sweet fragrance.
Emperor Jingning's brows relaxed and he drank with great satisfaction.
So delicious.
The Empress Dowager likes grape milk cap, but Emperor Jingning likes taro milk tea.
He didn’t like eating taro before because he thought it tasted just so-so.
But when the taro is mashed into taro paste, it tastes incredibly good.
Later, after tasting the taro milk tea, Emperor Jingning fell deeply in love with this milk tea that tasted like both a drink and a sweet soup.
There are so many chefs in Daliang, but they only know that taro can be steamed.
I never thought that it could be made into taro paste and made into milk tea.
So if the food doesn’t taste good, it’s not a problem with the ingredients themselves.
It’s because the chef doesn’t know how to use cooking techniques to bring out the flavor of the ingredients and make them delicious.
Emperor Jingning felt the dense and smooth taste in his mouth, and felt that most of his fatigue was gone, and his body and mind felt much more relaxed.
A sip of milk tea gives you a full aroma of taro paste, which is soft, glutinous and smooth.
It seems that what I drank was not milk tea, but a big mouthful of happiness.
Sure enough, after busy official duties, I still have to reward myself well.
Sometimes, happiness is that simple.
Just need a cup of milk tea.
Hahaha! ! !
If there were no delicious food in this world, what would be the point of life?
At this time, the eunuch who was guarding outside came in to report: "Your Majesty, Ye Xin, who is beside the Queen, came and said that Your Majesty is invited to have lunch in the Queen's palace."
Emperor Jingning said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
Thinking of lunch, Emperor Jingning suddenly thought of another thing.
"Is the Xie family's kid's wedding coming soon?"
An Desheng replied with a smile: "General Xie's wedding will be the day after tomorrow, and it was His Majesty who granted General Xie a marriage."
Before Xie Yanqing went to the palace to ask Emperor Jingning to grant him and Yun Ruo a marriage, everyone thought that he and Princess Lejia were a couple.
Later, I thought that Princess Lejia was in love with someone who was unrequited.
Fortunately it was just a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, Princess Lejia would be so sad.
Emperor Jingning: "Of course I remember. I heard that the wedding banquet was held in Yipinlou. I didn't expect Yipinlou would also host wedding banquets."
Speaking of this, Emperor Jingning felt a little emotional.
When the plaque was given to Shen Huazheng, it was just considered a reward for the meal she had received.
What I didn’t expect was that Yipinlou would be able to operate so well and go so far.
Now the business has expanded to wedding banquets.
But it’s better this way, at least it proves that he didn’t misjudge the person and didn’t slap him in the face.
An Desheng: "Yes, but as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yipinlou launched a variety of banquet packages. I think Princess Yinghua has long wanted to develop in this direction."
He really admired Shen Huazheng, who was young but had superb cooking skills.
New ideas come one after another.
He managed to run Lin Heung House, Yipintang and the Food Street very successfully.
I don’t know what’s going on in her brain, why she has so many weird ideas.
Emperor Jingning took another sip of milk tea and said, "What dishes do you think will be served at the wedding banquet hosted by Yipinlou?"
Judging from the previous banquets hosted by Shen Huazheng, this wedding banquet should have many surprises.
Moreover, this was the first time that Yipinlou hosted a wedding banquet.
Shen Huazheng will definitely be very attentive, even more attentive than previous banquets.
It would be such a pity if we missed such an opportunity.
An Desheng was stunned. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to leave the palace to attend General Xie’s wedding banquet?
Does Your Majesty value the Xie family to such an extent?
After all, there are not many people in Daliang who are so honored that His Majesty can appear at their wedding banquet.
No, Your Majesty did not mention the wedding banquet, he was talking about the wine banquet.
Thinking of Yipinlou, which hosted the banquet, Andy On suddenly understood.
It’s not that the Xie family has a lot of face, but that Your Majesty is greedy again.
This time, I am still craving for General Xie’s banquet.
However, Andersen was also very curious about what dishes would appear at the wedding banquet of Xie Yun and his family the day after tomorrow.
The dishes on the wedding banquet table usually contain good wishes for the newlyweds. What dishes will Princess Yinghua use to represent her blessings to the newlyweds?
……
Shen Huazheng had no idea what Emperor Jingning was thinking. She was happily having lunch with Zhou and Zhou Ying.
Lunch is simpler, but still includes both meat and vegetarian options.
In addition to the taro braised pork, there is also a mushroom, scallop, spring vegetable and dragon bone soup, and an egg custard.
There is also dessert after the meal.
Zhou tasted the taro braised pork and her eyes were full of amazement.
"I thought pork with preserved vegetables was delicious enough, but I didn't expect pork with taro to taste so delicious. I can eat a bowl of rice with this dish."
The taro and the fat and lean pork belly are layered alternately, which tastes unique.
After steaming, the taro has become very soft and glutinous. Because it has absorbed some of the fat from the pork belly, it has a very smooth taste.
The pork belly is soft, tender and sweet, fat but not greasy, and tender but not mushy.
The fat in the fatty part has seeped out, it is soft, mellow and melts in your mouth.
The lean meat is sweet, fragrant and mellow, lean but not dry.
Take a bite and you can taste the fatness of the taro and the sweetness of the braised pork.
Soft, sticky and sweet, it is really a unique enjoyment.
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "This dish is eaten with rice, just like pork with preserved vegetables."
Every time she eats braised pork with taro, she takes one bite of meat, one bite of rice, and then one bite of taro in that order.
It smells really good.
Zhou Ying also ate the taro braised pork with pork belly happily. The taro and pork belly cooked in this way are really delicious. The meat has the aroma of taro, and the taro has the aroma of meat.
“It’s really delicious. The combination of taro and pork belly is perfect.”
She ate a piece of pork belly, then picked up a piece of taro and put it into her mouth.
The taro used to make braised pork today is large and has clear lines. It absorbs the fat and meat flavor of the pork belly during the steaming process, making it softer and more fragrant.
Taro is soft, sticky and smooth. There is no need to chew it. Just put it in your mouth and you can feel it slowly melting on the tip of your tongue.
Because taro is added during the steaming process, the pork belly does not taste greasy at all, but instead has a hint of the unique taro aroma.
It can be said that they complement each other and make up for each other's weaknesses.
After swallowing the taro in her mouth, Zhou Ying picked up a handful of rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
Just as Zheng'er said, this dish is delicious with rice.
First she eats a piece of pork belly, then a piece of soft taro, and finally a mouthful of rice. She can eat several bowls of rice.
*
Shen Huazheng ate for a while, then scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, brought it to her mouth, blew on it gently, and took a small sip.
The warm soup slowly flows into the throat, and the sweet taste lingers on the tip of the tongue.
Just with this small sip, you can taste the ultimate deliciousness of the soup.
It has the fresh fragrance of spring vegetables, the sweetness of scallops and mushrooms, and the rich aroma of meat.
Although the pork belly is as fat as possible but not greasy, it is still somewhat greasy.
At this time, eating a bowl of sweet and refreshing spring vegetable soup will make you feel much more comfortable.
Shen Huazheng likes the taste of spring vegetables, which have the bitterness of mustard greens and the sweetness of cabbage.
Whether it is made into spring vegetable stew or porridge with other ingredients, or stir-fried with bean paste or cooked in soup, it is delicious.
While drinking the refreshing spring vegetable soup, Shen Huazheng secretly observed Zhou Ying's expression.
Seeing that she seemed to be immersed in the delicious food, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that there is no emotion that cannot be soothed by delicious food.
As long as you have a good meal, all worries and stress can be thrown aside.
If delicious food can't heal you, there is only one reason - the so-called delicious food is not good enough.
