Chapter 443 Daxia Food Record (Edited)
The emperor nodded happily upon hearing this: "Okay! I will choose a time and make arrangements.
The education in your valley is really amazing!
Not only have you educated A Jing well, you have also trained hundreds of talents for Da Xia. I want to thank the Gu family on behalf of all the people in the world." The emperor said with emotion.
"Your Majesty, we are unworthy of this honor.
Originally, I just wanted to teach these kids something to help them pass their daily time.
These children have had hard lives, but they all know how to strive to do well and study hard every day, which is why they have achieved today's results.
And whether they are suitable for use still needs your majesty to consider it. "Old Master Gu hurriedly stood up and bowed.
While they were talking, the boys had gone out to use the toilet and visited the nearby palace.
The boys went from surprise and joy at the beginning to numbness and boredom in the end.
Before coming to the palace, they thought their house was already very big, but after seeing the palace, they realized that their house was nothing compared to it.
The royal family is worthy of being called the royal family! Each palace is magnificent, solemn and elegant.
However, many of them were uninhabited, with only palace maids, eunuchs and guards doing the cleaning and maintenance, making the place seem a bit empty.
"Brother Jing, your palace is so big, but there are vacant houses everywhere. It's really a waste." Gu Yi couldn't help but speak out.
"Alas! There is no other way. We, the royal family, must also maintain our dignity and respect.
But as the royal family of this dynasty had few descendants, these palaces became idle.
However, the Emperor now loves growing vegetables, and all the palaces have begun to follow suit and build vegetable gardens, so the palace people now have something to do to pass the time.
It was only after I returned to the capital that I learned that the vegetables produced in the emperor's vegetable garden have now become the favorite reward of the dignitaries in the capital." Song Renjing explained.
"Those are vegetables planted by His Majesty himself. If it were me, I would definitely feel honored." Gu Yi said with a face full of longing.
"If you are interested, we can go to the vegetable garden taken care of by the emperor himself after dinner. Pick whatever you like and ask the imperial chef to cook it." Song Renjing said with a smile.
"Great! Great! Our Emperor is so powerful. He is not only busy with government affairs, but also with farming. We really have to go and take a good look." Gu Yi said happily.
"Brother Yi, don't do anything reckless. Those vegetables are all carefully grown by His Majesty. How can you go there and mess around?" Gu Ji disagreed.
"It doesn't matter. If I guess correctly, we can have lunch today." Song Renjing guessed. "Let's go back now."
Everyone agreed.
"My dear brothers, sisters-in-law and brothers, please go ahead." Song Renjing made a gesture of invitation, and his attitude towards the Gu family was still as friendly as when he was in the valley.
Everyone walked forward tacitly, leaving the pair of little enemies some space to be alone.
Song Renjing looked at Gu Fu with tender eyes and walked closer to him.
The girl in front of me hadn't seen him for a few months. She had lost some of her baby fat and had grown taller like a willow tree. She already had the charming demeanor of a young girl.
"Please come in, Sister Fu'er!" Song Renjing said, but his body did not move away.
Gu Fu also looked back at him with a smile. After several months of attending to court affairs, Song Renjing's aura as the emperor's grandson became stronger and stronger.
The whole person became more domineering and dignified, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a golden crown and jade belt, with a face as gentle as jade, like a banished immortal.
The two temperaments blended together, as if he were an immortal who had come down to earth to gain experience. It was so exciting that one even wanted to pull him down from the clouds and drown him in the mortal world forever.
"Brother Jing is so handsome!" Gu Fu couldn't help but say.
Then, the young man, who was as gentle as jade and untainted by the mundane world, smiled with his eyebrows curved, approached the girl, and exhaled sweetly, "I am so beautiful, I am yours! Sooner or later!"
As the young man approached, a familiar cold fragrance entered his nose. It was the ointment she had specially prepared for him in the valley.
A taste that is unique to him.
Gu Fu blushed instantly, lowered his head, and hid his affectionate eyes. "Let's go! Let's go back quickly."
"Okay!" The young man responded softly. The two walked side by side, and although they said they were going to walk faster, their steps were actually very slow.
The two of them walked along the mottled flower path and the winding corridor. The direct sunlight shone their figures into a circle, two tightly connected circles.
When the two of them walked near the imperial study, they found that the boys and wives of the Gu family had not yet entered and were waiting for them near the imperial study.
The two of them then hurried forward and caught up with the "main group".
The boys of the Gu family had already known each other tacitly, and they all put aside this episode and walked into the hall.
After paying their respects to the emperor again and sitting down, palace maids and eunuchs came forward with food boxes and served dishes to everyone.
"My dear friends, please try this quickly. This is the imperial meal prepared by the imperial chef based on the recipe you provided.
The dishes used in this dish are all grown by me personally from the seeds you provided.
"Try it quickly to see if it suits your taste and whether it is authentic," the emperor urged.
Although he is the emperor, these dishes and types of vegetables all come from the Gu family. Even as noble as he is, he also wants to get the recognition of the "experts".
Upon hearing this, everyone thanked him again and again and began to taste the various dishes carefully.
The result was naturally a lot of praise.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, in addition to the gifts displayed this morning, we have also prepared a gift for Your Majesty," said Mr. Gu.
"Oh, I wonder what the Duke wants to give me?" The emperor asked expectantly. The gift from the Gu family was really to his liking.
"Your Majesty, this gift was not given by me." Old Master Gu looked at Gu Fu and continued.
“It is because I, your granddaughter, learned about your Majesty’s diet when chatting with the emperor’s grandson. I felt that your Majesty was devoted to serving the people and should not be so unfair in his food.
So, with the company of my family, I developed a recipe.
This menu includes 196 cold and hot dishes, 123 kinds of dim sum and tea drinks, a total of 319 dishes.
The ingredients are extensive and fine, including all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. The cooking methods include roasting, grilling, boiling, steaming, stewing, stir-frying, braising, deep-frying, simmering, pan-frying, shabu-shabu, mixing, pickling, etc.
If Your Majesty is interested, I can let my third daughter-in-law demonstrate all the cooking methods for Your Majesty."
The emperor didn't expect that there are so many cooking methods for dishes!
I was moved at once.
I agreed without hesitation.
After the meal, the emperor spent some time asking the boys from the Gu family for advice.
The group then moved to the imperial kitchen, and the Wen sisters-in-law brought their own smart butlers, took out the ingredients they had prepared, and began to get busy.
