Chapter 126: I'm not in a hurry
"Since it's so delicious, why didn't you see Aiqing offer the sausage?"
As soon as he said this, the emperor covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide. Strangely, he Why did he say what he was saying ? What did he hear just now?
The two of them stared at each other, and ChenHong immediately reacted. : "Grilled sausage is a new thing. It took a long time for my wife to get the recipe for grilled sausage. It tastes really good. The emperor should try it.
You will get tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day. I guarantee that the emperor will taste the taste of grilled sausage. , I will definitely like it." He "kindly" persuaded for a while.
The emperor's face softened a little, and he hesitated before nodding. "Since Aiqing said so, I will give it a try."
"Please wait a moment, your Majesty ." "At that moment, I asked my men to go to the house to get the sausage."
"No problem, I'm not in a hurry." ... An hour later , Eunuch Chen brought a plate of fragrant sausage to the imperial study.
When he smelled it, the emperor asked. With bright eyes, he jumped up from Huanghuali's chair and immediately sat down again, expressionless, and continued to write with a brush, "Your Majesty, please rest for a while. The sausages are here. Eat them while they are hot. Lord Shen said they should be cooled. It won't taste good if it's not cooked."
Eunuch Chen put a plate of grilled sausages on the table and put away the folds, writing brushes and other things to avoid getting dirty.
He opened the lid and revealed a plate of grilled sausages. Ten grilled sausages were steaming. The bottom of the sausage is covered with twenty or thirty hot volcanic stones.
This is why the sausage does not cool for half an hour, otherwise the cooked sausage would have cooled down halfway, not to mention that the eunuch would have to try it when he arrived at the palace. , it still takes a quarter of an hour before there is any problem before it can enter the emperor's mouth. The emperor was very satisfied when he saw this. Such careful and considerate behavior must be done by Shen Hong's wife.
"Your Majesty, the grilled sausage can be dipped in two kinds of dipping sauces . Eat, one is chili powder, the other is sesame sauce."
Eunuch Chen picked up a piece of grilled sausage, dipped it in sesame sauce, and handed it to the emperor carefully.
I don't know if the emperor liked it, but he liked it anyway, because just now. He ate one secretly.
No, he didn't eat it secretly. Master Shen gave him five.
"Do you want some with sesame sauce? I thought it was cold noodles. What is this chili powder?" The emperor took it. Put the grilled sausage in your mouth and take a small bite, chewing and tasting it slowly.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Delicious."
"Eat more if the emperor likes it. The grilled sausage is made entirely of pork and is very healthy. This chili powder It tastes a bit like peppercorns. Your Majesty, please give it a try."
Eunuch Chen picked up another grilled sausage, dipped it in just a little chili powder, and handed it to the Emperor.
He was not worried at all that the Emperor would not like the taste of chili powder. Because he tasted it, he immediately liked the taste, but only a little bit of chili powder.
After thinking for a while, the emperor put the grilled sausage dipped in chili powder into his mouth, and a hint of spicy taste entered his throat .
He almost wanted to spit it out, but after a while, the spicy taste and the meaty aroma of the sausage merged, and it instantly became a delicacy.
He finished the second sausage in two or three mouthfuls, showing a satisfied expression .
" It tastes really good. The ministers didn't lie."
Eunuch Chen picked up a cup of Biluochun and handed it to the emperor. "Your Majesty, drink tea to quench your thirst."
"You understand me." The Emperor drank a few sips of Biluochun, which instantly eliminated the greasiness.
Then he started eating grilled sausage again, the third one, the fourth one...
The emperor didn't stop until he ate the sixth one. He drank a glass of Biluochun to eliminate the greasiness in his stomach, allowing him to rest contentedly on the back of his chair.
"These rewards are for you to eat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"By the way, my mother and queen have not tasted this food yet. Do you have any more here, Lord Shen?" The Emperor remembered that he had a family that had never tasted grilled sausages. .
"Yes, Mr. Shen has sent eleven pieces of roast sausage to the palace. The other ten have been sent to the palaces of the Queen Mother, the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince, as well as the Imperial Concubine and the Fifth Concubine."
Eunuch Chen Curving the corners of his mouth, he thought to himself that Mr. Shen is a good person and doesn't ask for credit.
You must know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, with high merit, which can easily arouse the emperor's fear and lead to death.
But if you don't take credit for your merits, you can protect yourself wisely and be favored by the emperor.
"Very good, Master Shen's wife is still Huizhi Lanxin." The emperor praised Shen Hong's wife. In his eyes, Shen Hong was a rough man and would not have such high emotional intelligence and carefulness.
Eunuch Chen didn't say anything. This credit belongs to Mr. Shen and his wife. Husband and wife are meant to lose each other and gain glory from each other, regardless of you and me.
...
At the same time, the Empress Dowager who looked to be only in her thirties or forties
in Cining Palace
was also eating grilled sausages. She accidentally ate four sausages, which made her belly full.
"Looking at the Ai family, I got greedy for a moment. But this thing called grilled sausage is really delicious."
"Empress Dowager, please drink tea to relieve the greasiness." The prince handed over a cup of Maojian to cool down.
The Queen Mother drank half the cup and rested comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch.
"I heard that this thing was developed by Mr. Shen's wife, but I didn't expect that her skills were so good. The cake last year was made by her son who learned some skills from a foreign businessman and added his own research and development, so he got the cake he has today."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
"This family can't stop and likes to do good deeds. The Ai family heard that Master Shen's second son also went to the south to rescue the snow disaster last year. If the Shen family provides disaster relief, some people predict that more than ten people will die in the snow disaster. Man, the emperor hasn't given him a title yet. This is so sad."
"I heard that Lord Shen didn't want the second son. He said he wanted to get a title based on his true ability."
"Really? The five sons of the Shen family love to study. He has the courage to go to the disaster area to provide relief, and he is not afraid of hardships. If you replace other wealthy families, one generation will be inferior to the other. If you don't commit heinous crimes, your ancestors will be covered in smoke."
"Every descendant of the officials and nobles in Dayue Kingdom is like the son of Lord Shen, so why not in Dayue Kingdom? Worry about not having a pillar of the country."
"Yes, there are more talents, and the emperor doesn't have to worry so much about the country and the people."
... The two brothers Xuan Liyu and Xuan Liye
of the East Palace
were in the East Palace and came back from school to play together.
It happened that my father-in-law brought me two plates of grilled sausages.
They had heard from their companion that a food called grilled sausage had appeared in the capital in recent days and was extremely popular. Most of the people in the capital had eaten grilled sausage, and the reviews were all complimentary.
Today they discussed how to walk out of the palace to find grilled sausages to try, but the grilled sausages were delivered to their door.
After asking around, I found out that the grilled sausage came from Mr. Shen's house.
Moreover, this is the grilled sausage that Father asked Master Shen for first.
"Brother, our father is more greedy than us." Xuan Liye covered his mouth and snickered.
"Keep your voice down. If your father hears it, you will have to be grounded for another month. But don't forget that he often hides outside the gate and eavesdrops on us. Be careful, he is outside now."
Xuan Liyu said pretending to be mysterious. .
Xuan Liye was so frightened that he shut up and rushed to the door immediately. He looked around and found no trace of his father before returning to the hall.
As a result, I saw——
