NOVEL NEXT Chapter 72 Miss Xu’s Craftsmanship
Later, several boys who were usually close to Xu Nan also shamelessly came over, causing other young men and young masters to join in.It's really the same barbecue, and what they grill is incomparable to what's grilled here at Duke Chengguo's Mansion!
Who doesn’t want to eat delicious food? It’s a rare opportunity!
Besides, now that we are in the paddock, there is no need to be as formal and serious as in the capital.
Xu Muhua's heart was bleeding as he watched the ingredients he prepared disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye!
She didn't even have time to eat a few pieces, why did they all go into someone else's mouth? Is she drooling for nothing?
Pei Shaorong saw her rolling up her sleeves and standing aside looking at the enthusiastic crowd, and couldn't help but laugh pitifully.
Xu Muhua heard her laughter and looked at her sadly: "Arong, you are so heartless."
Pei Shao smiled tolerantly and said, "Okay, okay, don't be sad. Since we came to your place for barbecue and ate your ingredients, we naturally have to make up for it. Let's bring over all the ingredients from our side. , everyone is having a barbecue here anyway.”
Xu Muhua's eyes immediately lit up.
Okay, okay, even though they might not be able to handle it as well as she could handle it, it's better than nothing. The soles are placed on the barbecue, sprinkled with various spices, and dipped in various sauces to become delicious, not to mention that these are real ingredients.
Pei Shaorong called a few friends to bring most of his ingredients over, and the others followed suit after seeing this.
Now it's better, it's getting more lively.
The emperor on the other side noticed it.
"What's going on over there? Why is it so busy?"
Zhao Chengye glanced at it and replied: "Back to my father, she is the eldest lady of the Chengguo Palace. She packed up all the ingredients and then made a barbecue rack. She put the ingredients on the rack and slowly roasted them. The taste is very good. .So everyone gathered around."
The emperor couldn't help but become interested when he heard it, and asked: "Isn't it just barbecue? Which cook can't cook it, and all the necessary ones are sent to the Chengguo Palace?"
What the emperor wants to say more is, is it necessary to be attracted by the tricks of a little girl? Isn't it embarrassing?
Zhao Chengye showed a look of shame on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "Father, I have tasted it and found that the craftsmanship of the eldest lady of Chengguo Palace is indeed extraordinary. And she can also bake those fruits and vegetables very well." tasty."
If he hadn't been so shameless, he would have squeezed in.
Although he was born in a royal family, he grew up in fine clothes and fine food, enjoying delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and never tasted anything delicious.But the things Miss Xu bakes seem ordinary and simple, but they taste really good and make people want to stop.
The emperor really became a little curious now. He stood up and said, "You said so, but I really want to see if Miss Xu's craftsmanship is really that good. Let's go and have a look. !”
The queen and several concubines couldn't stop him even if they tried, so they had to follow him, along with several ministers.
But everyone at Xu Muhua's side was in such high spirits that they had no intention of paying attention to anything else. It wasn't until the emperor and his entourage approached. Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, the attendant hurriedly shouted that the emperor was here, and everyone was awakened.
Before they could salute, the emperor said: "No need to be too polite, let's enjoy ourselves tonight. I heard that Miss Xu is very good at barbecue, so I came here to have a look. I just don't know if I can taste this delicious food."
That’s what I said!
For a moment, Xu Muhua wondered if the old emperor wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Princess Qingning. Otherwise, how could he say such a thing? Wouldn't this be setting her on fire?
Cursing in his heart, Xu Muhua stood up immediately and said: "The emperor is willing to try the craftsmanship of the people. This is the blessing of the people! The people will bake a skewer for the emperor, but I don't know what kind of flavor the emperor likes. , what kind of meat do you like to eat?”
Xu's mother was so anxious that she almost got angry.
How could this child ask the emperor what he likes to eat?
The waiter said quickly: "It's okay, Miss Xu will just watch and grill a few skewers."
Xu Muhua seemed not to notice anything and said with a smile: "That's okay! I'll bake what everyone says is delicious and give it to the emperor to try!"
As soon as the emperor and his entourage arrived, everyone became quiet. There was no liveliness at all. They all stood aside in a restrained manner, not even daring to sit down.Some people who were half-baked also stood up and did not dare to move.
"Hey, whose is this? It will be burnt if you don't flip it!" Xu Muhua shouted, hurriedly turning over the ones that were about to be burnt.
When she shouted, the others looked at the emperor cautiously. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the emperor's face, they slowly sat down again, relaxed slowly, and after a while they became active again.
When one person moves, others will naturally follow.
Xu Muhua concentrated on grilling meat.
She picked out a bunch of venison, a bunch of wild boar meat, and a bunch of pheasant meat. These three were probably the most representative ones. It would be better if there is mutton.
These meats are neither all lean nor all fat. The fat and thin are separated, more lean and less fat. The fat part is slightly burnt on the outside when roasted. When you bite it, the fat will burst out in your mouth, fat and It's not greasy, and the burnt aroma is charming.
It didn't take long for Xu Muhua to roast the meat and bring it to the emperor while it was still hot. He said very familiarly: "Your Majesty, try it quickly. It tastes best while it's hot!"
The attendant wanted to take it and test the poison, but was stopped by the emperor.
He wasn't particular about it, so he took it and took a sip, and his eyes soon became filled with surprise.
Xu Muhua said with a smile: "It's a pity that the qiyangcao is gone. Otherwise, I would have let the emperor try the charcoal-grilled qiyangcao."
"Oh? Qiyangcao can also be roasted and eaten?"
A boy came out from the side and said, "Father, I can do it. It's delicious. I just ate five skewers!" He stretched out his five plump fingers.
The emperor deliberately made a serious face, "Then why didn't you leave a string for your father?"
The fat boy was stunned for a moment and replied blankly: "Father didn't say he wanted to eat either!"
This boy is the Ninth Prince and the youngest prince. His biological mother is Concubine Shu.But this time Concubine Shu did not accompany him, but stayed in the palace to serve the Queen Mother.
"Xiaojiu, come here." The queen waved to him.
The Ninth Prince walked over, and the Queen warned: "You can't eat too much, so as not to get angry."
"Queen Mother, Xiaojiu knows." Because he is full!
The emperor ate the kebabs in his hand and remembered the qiyangcao that the Ninth Prince had just mentioned. He glanced at the attendant beside him. The attendant understood and turned around to prepare.
