Chapter 50
Anping Yanxuan smelled doubtfully, took a bite and said, "It tastes good." After chewing, he said, "And it's a little fragrant, well... why is it not greasy at all?"
Bai Mei sighed and replied, "Eggplant, steamed eggplant."
"It can't be?!" Emperor Yan was almost scared by the answer. "Eggplant obviously doesn't taste like this. We ate it together last night, didn't we?" Bai Mei said nothing, and gave him a shredded lettuce with chopsticks and said, "Try this again?"
Emperor Yan looked at the green filament with a very strange eye, put it into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and asked, "This is also good, what is it?"
"Lettuce." Bai Mei also clipped some for himself and buried himself in eating.
Emperor Yan shook his head: "You must have been cheated. How can this be lettuce? The taste of that thing should be similar to eggplant." Seeing Bai Mei stir up his eyes to look at her, he added, "It's not your fake eggplant, it's real eggplant."
Bai Mei also shook his head and sighed. The children born in the palace were really poor.
Emperor Yan, however, was at a loss. While stuffing all kinds of dishes into his mouth, he was still patiently explaining Bai Mei, who had been hit hard in his view: "Of course, it is normal for you to be cheated. What the hell is this? It's so delicious. It's not oily or greasy at all, and the taste of each dish is completely different from that of each dish! Who did this? It's a spell with dragon liver and chicken marrow... It's really time to reward the cook... "
Bai Mei rolled her eyes and put down her chopsticks.
Anping Yanxuan has neglected her, only for a while, the wind swept away the clouds. Then, after an endless burp, I realized that I had eaten too much.
Bai Mei smiled bitterly: "I made this dish, Your Majesty."
"Eh?"
"It's just that the practice is different." Originally, I wanted to make it more complicated, but I lost my way. When I found a place, I was tired and tired. It was too late, so I had to pick up the simplest way to make a few side dishes. I didn't expect to be understood by this precious emperor so distorted the facts. "I suggest you ask the cook, and naturally you will know who has been cheated..."
The cook in this palace is really capable, can consume countless ingredients, make everything generally greasy, emit the same aroma, and look good, and... well, I still feel quite good when I eat it for the first time, and eating it every day can kill people! Bai Mei really, really has some sympathy for the poor emperor.
The chefs are pitiful.
In the morning, a gorgeous woman tossed and made some simple meals that in their eyes were coarse food. At noon, she was called by the emperor to ask why the food presented on weekdays tasted worse than this.
How can they answer except to confess their guilt with the despair of dying? Since a convincing Dong Zi said, "Your daughter is far away from blistering the kitchen", it is difficult for them to have any status as cooks for a living. Now see the emperor angry, they, but even resentment also dare not have, one thousand trouble to...
Bai Mei rubbed the frenzied emperor's forehead and softly soothed: "Relax, Your Majesty, you scared them. How can you ask? This is not their fault either."
Emperor Yan had a gloomy face and said nothing. In fact, he is really angry, in addition to the level of these people, is... why are these slaves so ignorant? Let Bai Mei cook himself? "Your daughter is far away from blistering the kitchen", how can he let the people he intends to love all his life belittle himself like this... Bai Mei has three points of regret and does bad things for his kindness, so he can only softly persuade: "Your Majesty has ever thought that the coarse food in their eyes feels good, while the same meat in your eyes is something many people have never even seen?"
"Hmm?"
"Say eggplant, your majesty usually eat eggplant, is fried with chicken oil, then with chicken breast meat and various dried fruits with chicken soup, collected with sesame oil, and then with chicken melon seeds fried before dare to serve. And I just peeled it, steamed it in a drawer, and served it when cooked." "Ah?"
"In front of that is the ostentation and extravagance in the palace, your majesty does not speak, who dares to save, so to do, all the dishes are a taste also don't blame, at most is the difference between chicken and pork, how can blame them? But I was reckless today and brought these to, and it was really just the coarse tea and light rice eaten by the people below..."
"May..."
"Hmm?"
"I decided, this is the decree. Jane, in addition to these rules and ostentation and extravagance, began to shrink in the palace, and simple food and clothing, so it was settled!"
"Ah?"
"I'm worried about spending too much. Now I finally have a reason. Mei, you are really my lucky star." Anping Yanxuan suddenly smiled, and then looked a little: "Yi Shi Yi admonished meritorious service, can there be any reward you want?"
Bai Mei was blindsided at the moment and finally understood that this one in front of him, in the final analysis, was still an out-and-out emperor, and himself, there was still an official position to pick up the remains... God, what kind of world is this?
Anping Yanxuan looked at Bai Mei's rare lovely expression in front of him. His heart was hot and his fingers stretched out uncontrollably, pinching Bai Mei's face.
