Chapter 17 Eavesdropping on My Daughter's Thoughts While Eating Hotpot
[Freeze the tender tofu, and small pores will form on the surface. Then put it in the boiling red soup pot, boil it for a few times, and then take it out. ]
Xiao Chuchu slurped it up when she thought of it.
[Turn it in sesame oil for a while, and dip it in some emerald green onion to enhance the flavor. Once you bite it, you will get a mouthful of hot and spicy soup, which splashes out from the pores of the tofu...]
[At this time, sit around the stove and have another mouthful of sour and sweet plum soup...]
Xiao Chuchu was really greedy.
When she heard her father, the emperor who died early, who got it cheaply, say that her mother could order whatever she wanted, she couldn't help thinking about it.
It's not her fault.
She is not a real baby. After two days of feeding, she is eager to eat something heavy.
Especially when it is freezing cold outside, it is just right for eating steaming hot pot.
[Take another juicy cabbage, wash it, break it into pieces, separate the leaves from the stems, put them into the pot, and cook until they are completely transparent, soft, tender and sweet. ]
Hiss, hiss.
Xiao Chuchu couldn't help drooling.
Liu Channiang, who was holding her, was a little tempted.
It sounded like this hot pot was different from the hot pot they usually eat.
She was eager to try it, but she couldn't order the dishes according to her daughter's thoughts. Because this would expose her ability to hear her daughter's thoughts in front of the emperor.
Liu Channiang could only bear it, thinking that when she returned to her courtyard, she would close the door and secretly ask the palace maid to order a small hot pot according to her daughter's instructions.
Just as she was bearing it, she heard a loud belly rumbling in the side hall.
Liu Channiang looked up and saw that the emperor Xiao Yunzhou's ears were a little red.
He was hungry!
Xiao Yunzhou, the emperor above all people.
Being an emperor, he usually eats fine food and has many expensive dishes.
But now, listening to his little daughter's description of hot pot, he feels hungrier and hungrier.
As an emperor, he doesn't need to hide what he wants to eat!
He observed that Concubine Liu looked normal and was not moved by his daughter's voice at all. He knew that she was probably deaf. Only he, the father, could hear what the little princess was thinking!
The fairy was reincarnated and wanted to eat hot pot, which was probably only available in the fairy world.
"Ahem."
"Wei Zheng, go to the kitchen and tell them that I want to use hot pot today."
"Cut all the beef and mutton into one-finger-wide and palm-long pieces, as thin as rice paper, and serve them directly on the plate."
"Then send fresh young cabbage and holly."
【!! How did the emperor father know how to eat hot pot! 】
Chu Chu was shocked.
【Is there already here? 】
Xiao Yunzhou looked pleased, but his eyes showed no sign of satisfaction. He continued to instruct the eunuch, "Ask the imperial kitchen what other dishes can be put into the hot pot..."
[Cut the winter melon and white radish into thin slices and cook until they are almost melted. They are tasty and taste like melting snow when put into the mouth...]
[And vermicelli! Or throw noodles into the hot pot. After eating meat and vegetables, slurp a few vermicelli or hand-kneaded noodles, it's really delicious~]
Xiao Yunzhou swallowed his saliva calmly, "Wei Zheng, go to the kitchen in person and see which seasonal dishes are available. Slice the ones that can be sliced thinly, and choose the tender ones that can't be sliced. No rice is needed today. Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some noodles and send them up raw."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and looked at Liupin, "Ah Chan, what else do you want?"
Liupin: "..."
You are going to bring the entire kitchen over, and you still ask her!
Xiao Yunzhou looked at Concubine Liu's embarrassment and couldn't help but sympathize with her.
Only he, the father, could hear his daughter's voice, and Concubine Liu, the mother, couldn't hear it.
Alas, poor Concubine Liu, she didn't even know that there was a treasure around her.
But it's okay, I will protect Concubine Liu as a mother in the future.
She gave birth to a good daughter for me, and her merits were fulfilled.
Xiao Yunzhou sympathized for a while, and then became proud and happy.
"Ah Chan, give me your daughter to hold."
He ordered the eunuch to bring a basin of water, washed his hands, and then held Chuchu in his arms again.
"Chuchu, watch your father and your mother eat hot pot later, be good."
Xiao Chuchu: "..."
With a whine, she burst into tears.
Not long after, the hot pot was served.
Xiao Yunzhou and Concubine Liu ate it with freshness and clarity.
Especially Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, it was the first time he saw fresh raw food on the dining table, such as beef and mutton rolls, cabbage...
There were also minced garlic, chopped green onions, oil sauce, and spicy dry sauce that were served in their original flavor without being cooked...
He held Chuchu in his arms and followed her instructions. The thin beef slices were boiled in the red soup and spicy oil pot for ten breaths, and then they were taken out and put into the sesame oil dish prepared by the eunuch in front of him.
After a circle of sesame oil, the meat slices were crystal clear, and were stained with a little bit of emerald green onion and tender garlic. When he put the whole thing into his mouth, his eyes lit up.
"Well, I didn't expect that the hot pot I heard from the immortal in my dream last night was so delicious!"
"My beloved concubine, try it too~"
Liu Concubine became my beloved concubine directly.
But Liu Channiang had long been indifferent to fame and fortune. She leisurely imitated the emperor and blanched a piece of tender cabbage. In an instant, she felt the amazing taste described by her daughter.
Before long, the emperor and she had eaten up the whole table of meat dishes.
Xiao Yunzhou especially loved the mutton rolls, often taking three or five slices at a time, and soon he finished four whole plates by himself.
It was only because Wei Zheng was afraid that he would have indigestion that he stopped reluctantly and ate two small bowls of hot pot vermicelli.
Liu Channiang preferred the tender cabbage and frozen tofu in the hot pot, as well as the crispy duck intestines. She almost ate all of them by herself, leaving little for the emperor.
Wei Zheng glared at her.
But Xiao Yunzhou was not angry at all.
What a real Concubine Liu!
In the past, the imperial concubines had small mouths in front of him and ate as much as a bird.
But they were all fake!
Now he felt more and more that authenticity was so precious!
Both of them had their mouths full of red oil, and they stopped only when they were full.
[The emperor father actually had a fairy in his dream? ]
Xiao Chuchu watched them eat, but the more she thought about it, the more shocked she was.
She had read a lot of novels, and traveling through books and rebirth were not uncommon, so dreams were nothing.
[Does the emperor father know that the flood control in the Yellow River basin has failed again soon, and it will soon burst the dam again, leaving the people homeless, with tens of thousands of casualties, and it will also cause plague! ]
Xiao Yunzhou, who was eating and drinking, was stunned.
[Ah, this fairy is unreliable. Why did he only dream about food for the emperor father? Is this fairy capable? ]
Xiao Chuchu didn't eat the hot pot, but she smelled a lot of it, and now she is a little angry.
Her breath is not very good either.
She didn't notice at all that the emperor Xiao Yunzhou, who was holding her, stopped holding the chopsticks.
Xiao Yunzhou was shocked and suspicious.
Will the Yellow River basin burst the dam again soon?
Impossible!
He had time to meditate and cultivate his Taoism last night because he had been busy discussing with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel how to deal with the Yellow River flooding problem in the past ten days.
On the 30th of last month, the river overflowed and flooded the Yangshan area, leaving thousands of refugees.
He urgently sent a governor to provide disaster relief and arrange for refugees.
He also ordered the River Channel Office to rush to Yangshan to help the local prefect to control the Yellow River flood.
Yesterday, a letter came from the post station saying that the flood had been controlled and the river channel had been reshaped.
How could the flood break again?
This is another earth dragon turning over and the Yellow River bursting again. Isn’t it a punishment from heaven! ?
Xiao Yunzhou’s face changed drastically.
[Emperor father, the governor and the river channel office you sent are actually not proficient in floods. ]
Xiao Chuchu recalled the content of the novel.
She remembered that the flood broke the dike many times in a row.
[The Yellow River flooded again, from five miles north of Kaifeng City to Chenzhou, Xiangcheng, Taihe, Yingzhou... all flooded. ]
Xiao Yunzhou couldn't even eat hot pot!
[Then in the second year, the Yellow River washed away countless farmlands...]
[The national strength of the dynasty declined significantly, which also laid the hidden danger for the defeat of the Yuan invasion. ]
Xiao Chuchu recalled painfully, and soon his eyes lit up.
[It was not until the third year that a fifth-rank editor named Pan Ji gave gifts to the cabinet and got the position of Prime Minister of the River, which truly stabilized the river. ]
"!"
Xiao Yunzhou put down his chopsticks with a snap.
