Chapter 15 This is Ciba!
In the Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shilong was reviewing the memorial with a group of ministers.
Even though they had put on a lot of clothes and covered themselves with blankets given by His Majesty, they still felt cold.
There is no place in Beijing that is not cold in December.
Li Shilong was also cold. He had long wanted to build Nuan Pavilion.
But the treasury was empty enough for rats to run around, so he was helpless.
The hardest days are coming.
He was a military commander, but those who reviewed the memorials were all literati.
At this moment, I was sitting below, my body shaking constantly.
He sighed secretly, and just as he was about to have someone make tea for them, several young eunuchs came quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has specially sent breakfast snacks!"
"Oh, present it!"
Li Shilong ate earlier. Sitting here now, the food in his stomach has long been consumed.
Gao Shilian took the glutinous rice cake and opened the lid. The steam was rising, and there were small round black balls inside.
"What kind of snack is this?"
Li Shilong asked.
"Your Majesty, this is glutinous rice cake, made by Qin Han, Prince Consort, himself!"
"Did Qin Hanzi do it?"
Li Shilong was stunned and said in disbelief: "That idiot can still make snacks?"
The eunuch serving the dishes said respectfully: "This is the filial breakfast made by Qin's consort, Captain, for the empress. The empress and all the princesses and princes are full of praises!"
Li Shilong became interested, picked up the soft glutinous glutinous rice cake with his chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.
It's sweet, soft and glutinous, and makes you feel relaxed after one sip.
"good to eat!"
Li Shilong put one after another into his mouth, eating seven or eight in a row before stopping, "Yes, this glutinous rice cake tastes really good, are the rest of them glutinous rice cake?"
"The empress said that the adults have worked hard in reviewing the memorial, so she specially asked the slave to bring it to you for you to have a taste!"
"Wuji, Liang Aiqing, Jingming, please stop for a moment and try the glutinous rice cake made by Qin Hanzi!"
Gongsun Wuji picked one up in surprise and immediately narrowed his eyes.
Liang Zheng hates Qin Mo very much now, but he has to eat what His Majesty gave him, "Just one snack is enough, leave the rest!"
But when he took the first bite into his mouth, the fragrance of rice, sesame, and frosting sweetness left an endless aftertaste in his mouth.
Du Jingming also picked one up with great interest. After tasting one, he couldn't help but said: "This Qin fool is not only talented in arithmetic, but unexpectedly, he can also make snacks!"
"If a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, if he doesn't work hard on arithmetic, what's the use of making the best snacks?" Liang Zheng snorted.
Li Shilong ignored them and ate the glutinous rice cake in front of him. His body, which was shaking with cold, warmed up.
"What is Qin Mo doing now?"
"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort of Qin is still in the imperial dining room and said that the glutinous rice cake is just a pre-dinner dessert and he wants to prepare a delicacy for the empress!"
Li Shilong was immediately interested. The glutinous rice cake was a surprise enough. How delicious is the real food? He stood up and said to the others: "My dear friends, thank you for your hard work in correcting the memorial. The weather is very cold. Come with me for a walk to get rid of the cold, and take a look at what Qin Hanzi is doing!"
At the same time, in the imperial dining room.
Everyone looked at the plates of vegetables and meat, and they were a little confused.
Qin Mo said with some disgust: "Besides radishes, it's just cabbage. Can there be more new tricks?"
Li Yue almost vomited blood, "Idiot, it's so cold that only radishes and cabbage can survive. This is because the palace has a hot spring, so these vegetables can grow next to it. Just buy two or three taels from outside. question!"
Fuck, so expensive?
If we build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, wouldn't we make a profit? "Tch, look at your potential, aren't you just cabbage? Give me some time to eat until you vomit!"
Qin Mo glanced at him contemptuously, and then used various seasonings to prepare the base.
It's a pity that Daqian doesn't have chili peppers, but it does have dogwood. Although it's almost impossible, it can still be used.
Ever since, the Da Zhou version of hot pot was born.
“No mandarin duck pot, bad review!”
Qin Mo sighed, found a small pot and set it up.
Someone moved the table again, and looked at the soup boiling in the boiler, with a rich aroma emanating from it.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Qin Hanzi, what is this called?"
"This is called hot pot, you idiot!"
Qin Mo didn't show any respect to Li Yue, and then he mixed a bowl of secret sauce for Empress Gongsun, "Mother-in-law, when the vegetables are cooked, take them out and dip them in a little of my secret sauce. Guaranteed to make you want to swallow your tongue!"
Queen Gongsun took the bowls and chopsticks, "What's next?"
"Put the vegetables you want to eat into the hot pot, cook them and fish them out. They are absolutely delicious!"
Qin Mo couldn't wait to sit down. In the past two days, he had almost lost consciousness in his mouth.
Throw the sliced meat in, add some vegetables, and the boiling hot pot will bubble, and the people around you will almost salivate when you smell it.
"Come on, mother-in-law, this mutton roll is cooked, but it's a pity that there is no fat beef or pork belly, otherwise it would be a joy to wrap it in the sauce!"
He quickly gave Empress Gongsun a chopstick and said, "Don't be polite!"
Empress Gongsun picked up the chopsticks, followed Qin Mo's example, rolled the mutton in the sauce, soaked it, and then put it into her mouth.
At that moment, she narrowed her eyes.
Everyone around them craned their necks.
Li Yushu felt thirsty and swallowed subconsciously.
"It's delicious. I have never tasted such delicious food!"
Whoa! Everyone is stupid.
Qin Mo raised his head and said, "Did you hear that? My mother-in-law said it was delicious. You idiots, are you convinced?"
The prince said with a cold face, "Qin Hanzi, watch your words!"
Li Zhi said, "Qin Hanzi, I haven't even eaten, how do I know if it's to my liking?"
"That's it, go and make the sauce for us, and you'll know if it tastes good or not!"
"Screw you, didn't you see that I'm serving my mother-in-law? If you want to eat, you can make your own sauce!"
That arrogant face made them clenched their fists.
This Qin fool is so annoying! "Idiot, I'm your friend, please adjust it for me!" Li Yue said eagerly.
"For the sake of helping you, I'll give you a little!"
Qin Mo poured the sauce in the bowl directly into Li Yue's bowl, leaving only a shallow bottom.
"Qin Hanzi, you are so uninteresting!"
"Don't pay me back!"
Li Yue quickly took three steps back, took the mutton roll out of the boiling pot, wrapped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.
At that moment, all kinds of flavors exploded in my mouth, "Mom, this is so delicious!"
Just with these words, the princess and prince, who were originally arrogant, couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but beg Queen Gongsun, "Mother, please let me make the sauce for us!"
Li Yushu looked at Qin Mo and said erratically, "Qin Hanzi, make some sauce for me!"
