Chapter 447: Gu Family's Conflict
As the lotus leaves were opened, a rich and mellow aroma could not wait to emerge from the wine jar.
In just a moment, the rich fragrance filled the entire room.
Then it drifted outside through the doors and windows.
Throughout the courtyard, bursts of inhalation sounds could be heard from time to time.
Everyone felt that the fragrance was rich and mellow, extremely complex, with the fragrance of abalone, the mellowness of shark fin, and the unique sea flavor of sea cucumber...
The aromas of various ingredients blend together to form a new fragrance.
Like an invisible big hand, the glutton in the person's stomach is instantly awakened.
Even though the Gu family had eaten this dish more than once in the valley, they couldn't help but drool when they smelled it.
The emperor felt that this time his expectations were really met, and the dish was worthy of being able to make Buddha climb over the wall.
This dish really deserves the title.
Wen took out a small bowl and a spoon, scooped some wine from the jar and poured it into the small bowl.
The soup was as crystal clear as amber, with a charming luster.
Wen Shi first filled a bowl and placed it on a tray, then brought it to His Majesty. "The soup is ready, please enjoy it, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the emperor no longer cared about the venue and directly picked up the small bowl on the plate.
I first raised it in front of me and smelled it. I could feel the flavor was even stronger with my fingers. I scooped a spoonful of soup and put it into my mouth.
It feels thick and smooth when you take a bite, just like silk sliding across the tip of your tongue.
After swallowing it in one gulp, a feeling of comfort and pleasure spread from the mouth to the entire chest and abdomen.
If you savor it carefully, you will find the fragrance lingering on your lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
I have tasted all the ingredients one by one. The abalone is tender and chewy, the shark fin is soft and smooth, and the different tastes jump between my lips and teeth.
It not only retains the unique taste of the ingredients themselves, but also blends the flavors of other ingredients...
The emperor couldn't help but scoop another spoonful, and then he quickly finished the whole bowl.
Even though I had finished eating, I hadn't remembered to put the small bowl on the tray.
Still immersed in this luxurious and wonderful taste feast.
I just feel like all the meals I've had over the years have been wasted!
I didn't know there was such a delicious food in the world! Before this, this cooking method was unheard of.
And all of these were brought by the Gu family.
I remember that the Duke of Protectorate once said that their Gu family had many novel and interesting things.
Just looking at the food is enough to be shocking.
If other things are as good as his cooking skills, then his Da Xia will develop to a whole new level under the guidance of the Gu family.
If that happens, Daxia will become the leader among all countries, and he can even think bolder.
I just don’t know what the Duke of Protectorate is talking about.
Thinking of this, the emperor laughed happily and said, "Not bad, not bad. I have never tasted such a delicious meal before. The twelve hours of waiting are really worth it.
Give me some more.
And you, stop standing there and try it too."
Hearing this, Wen took the bowl and served another one to the emperor. She also took out a casserole to warm it up before stopping.
The people who had been waiting for a long time also began to line up to get the soup.
The group drank the soup contentedly. The emperor was curious about what else the Gu family had, so he called Mr. Gu and others back to the imperial study.
Mr. Gu and others told the emperor everything that the people in the valley were good at.
The emperor was greatly shocked after hearing this. What everyone in Gujia Valley learned almost covered every aspect of people's livelihood, weapons, medicines, etc.
"Your fellow villagers in the valley have learned a lot. If this knowledge can be promoted, the future of our Great Xia will be limitless!" The emperor said with a serious face, suppressing his inner excitement.
“Your Majesty, the villagers who followed the Emperor’s grandson out of the valley this time also plan to perform some exercises outside the valley.
They traveled thousands of miles and crossed thousands of mountains to come to the capital, just hoping to live up to what they learned and spread what they learned.
At the same time, you can also discuss with people outside the valley to further improve what you have learned.
Therefore, this time, except for those who had research projects on hand, everyone else followed out.
Once you pass His Majesty's assessment, you can contribute to the country." said Mr. Gu.
"Good, good, good!" The emperor clapped his hands happily. "Don't worry, I will not disappoint the patriotic hearts of my fellow countrymen. Anyone who passes the test will be allowed to display his or her strengths."
After getting the emperor's guarantee, everyone in the Gu family was very happy for the people in the valley.
The emperor and his ministers were chatting happily. Wen wanted to teach the imperial chefs how to cook. The palace was really spacious, so His Majesty asked the Gu family to live in the palace for the time being. They could leave the palace after the imperial chefs learned how to cook.
The emperor showed such great love that everyone had no choice but to accept it.
The Gu family was in the palace and was placed in a palace.
That night, after a busy day, the Gu family gathered in Grandpa Gu's room.
"Fu'er, do you blame your grandfather for rejecting the marriage today?" After everyone sat down, Grandpa Gu looked at Gu Fu with some guilt and asked.
Gu Fu had already guessed what Old Man Gu was doing, so he responded: "Grandpa, you are afraid that Fu'er's secret will be discovered one day. By then, if Fu'er has married into the inner court of the palace, her family will be unable to help her if she encounters any danger?"
Mr. Gu nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what Grandpa is worried about.
People’s hearts are fickle, and grandpa doesn’t dare to gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility.
Therefore, before I can be sure that everything is safe, Grandpa will not dare to promise you to A Jing."
"Grandpa, Fu'er understands what you and the elders are thinking. Let alone our family, I haven't made up my mind yet.
However, today the granddaughter thought about it again and felt that a short pain is worse than a long one. Why don’t we tell Brother Jing about the mobile phone and the smart robot in advance to see how he reacts.
If he sees his granddaughter as something different and cannot accept her, then we can make plans early.
If he treats it with a normal attitude just like our family, then we can rest assured.
It's better than the current situation where we are guessing and worrying." Gu Fu suggested.
According to Gu Fu's idea, if the problem can be solved as soon as possible, he should talk it out clearly. If you are heartless, I will give up. This will save both parties from being confused and wasting time guessing here.
Upon hearing this, the Gu family thought for a moment.
Gu Dahai objected, "That's not right. If they know our secret and want to do something bad, how can we leave safely in the palace?
Even if our family can escape successfully, what about the hundreds of people in the valley, as well as our clansmen and in-laws?
If the imperial court captures them and uses them to threaten us, we still won't be able to escape.
So I think that unless it is absolutely necessary, these secrets of our family should not be exposed."
"Don't worry, uncle. If this is the case, Fu'er has his own way to solve it.
But this matter still needs to be carefully considered. Without a proper solution, Fuer will not act on his own." Gu Fu comforted him.
