Chapter 452: Taste Before You Buy

Even Princess Yongping, who has always believed that her face is old and her talent will not grow old, knows all about poetry and songs, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows a little bit about miscellaneous subjects, but when she really faces that she can't even talk about getting started, and the more she listens to it, the more confused she is, and even more difficult to understand than the nine chapters of arithmetic, she can't help but have the same urge to roll her eyes as Zhu Ying.

So, seeing that Ge Yong couldn't even care about eating, he pulled Zhang Shou to ask endlessly, and a few little eunuchs who took the dishes from the little guy downstairs and pedaled upstairs neither advanced nor retreated, so she finally stood up and stepped forward in person.

Just glanced at those dishes, she remembered the overly simple topic she had just made, and then she felt that Zhang Shou's sudden overkill question was really just right. Otherwise, according to her own requirements, the cheap and delicious snacks will be put on the table, which can certainly earn her a good reputation, but these old men and old nobles here don't see it that way.

So, at this time, when she wanted to help Zhang Shou relieve the siege, she arrived at Ge Yong's side, and said with a smile: "Old lady Ge, the chefs have already done their hard work and sent the dishes up, do you see if it's ......?"

Disliking Princess Yongping's attitude being too gentle, Zhu Ying jumped up directly, pressed Ge Yong's shoulder and shouted: "Grandpa Ge, today is the birthday of me, Mingyue and Ah Shou, you can do it, can you give Ah Shou a holiday?" It's a big deal to order him to write all these things clearly for you in a few days! ”

"How many days will it take to get all this out there?"

Ge Yong suddenly hehe: "Xiao Yingying, do you know how difficult these things are?" When Zhang Shou just explained to us, he often had to think about how to say it, which shows that this has to involve a lot of messy things. If he really wants to write, it won't be like those things in the past, it can't be done in ten days and half a month! "I can't write it for a year and a half!

Seeing that Zhu Ying was interrupted, Princess Yongping persuaded her, Zhang Shou hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "There are some things that I haven't thought about myself, so I take this as a topic, and I also want to throw bricks and lead jade, this is not to make it difficult for students, but to see their thinking, of course, I need the help of teachers and two gentlemen." But Yingying is right, today is the Imperial Chef Competition, don't turn it into a discussion. ”

Seeing this scene, Qi Jingshan quipped: "That's right, that's right, this is a grand event for other chefs, Lao Ge, don't let down the hard work of those chefs." ”

And following him, Chu Ying snorted from her nose: "Zhang Shou, you kid actually wasted all your good time on eating, and never shied away from being a foodie, you are simply blind to your talent!" You accepted so many students last year, and now none of them are staying in Jiuzhangtang, they are all sent by you to do chores in all directions, what is this! ”

Ge Yong himself scolded Zhang Shou, but others accused, but it was absolutely not, so he immediately forgot the topic he had just argued about and started the case.

"Didn't you say that I was a full man and didn't know that I was hungry, but I see that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk now! Most of the students in Jiuzhangtang are poor students, if they don't have a serious job, who will support them in the future? You? You have to pat your chest now, and my big gang of people will send them all to your home for you to feed! ”

"Old man Ge, do you think I'm a local tyrant like you? I'm so breezy that I can't even feed myself! It's not that you yourself dislike you, a closed disciple, for taking care of those idle things, now I'll say, step on your tail or what? ”

Seeing that Chu Ying's eyes were glaring, the two old men who had already broken through one hundred and fifty years old were about to quarrel, Zhang Shou could only quickly persuade peace, and Qi Jingshan also came out helplessly to persuade two sentences, and finally let the two vindictive old men sit down again. Fortunately, Ge Yong's anger came and went quickly, and he regained his calm.

"Zhang Shou, today you, Xiao Yingying and Princess Yongping are all birthday stars, the three of you sit together, otherwise you won't have a birthday. You didn't see me, I saw it, Xiao Yingying has peeked at us here I don't know how many times, if you look at it like this, I have an itch on my back! Besides, sit with such a guy who picks bones in eggs, and you don't respond to me! ”

Without waiting for the annoyed Chu Ying to ridicule him, Ge Yong dragged Zhang Shou up, and then pushed the person to Zhu Ying's table, pressed him on the chair and sat down, he calmly turned his head, glanced at Zhu Jing and coughed dryly: "Zhao Guogong, anyway, Zhang Shou and Xiao Yingying's marriage book has been decided, and they are already a family, you won't have an opinion, right?" ”

What can I do if I have an opinion? You've already put people at the same table!

Zhu Jing sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly think that he really shouldn't have come today-but his mother and wife were all behind him, and he kept saying that it was easy for his daughter and future son-in-law to celebrate their birthdays together in the capital, if it weren't for the fear that after they came, they would definitely divide men and women, and they would all come to join in the fun.

So, he could only answer Ge Yong with a dry laugh, but when he saw Zhu Ying sitting next to Zhang Shou happily, he couldn't help but feel that this scene was really a bit dazzling.

If both sons had daughters-in-law, would he still look like this? No, it certainly won't! No wonder men are mostly more tolerant of their daughters-in-law, but they are often a little more critical of their sons-in-law!

As for Princess Yongping, she didn't mind Zhang Shou coming over to sit at the same table, after all, she stared at Zhu Ying with big eyes and had nothing to quarrel with, which was okay when there were only the two of them, in front of so many people, Zhu Ying didn't want to lose face, but she still had to maintain her demeanor as a princess. However, as soon as Zhang Shou sat down, the two little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to serve the food, and then she couldn't cry or laugh.

Because Zhu Ying stretched out her hand straightforwardly, took the pot of red fish on the boxwood strip plate, and put it directly in front of Zhang Shou, followed by another plate of yellow eel, and then a duck, three plates full of water in front of Zhang Shou, and finally couldn't put it down, Zhu Ying put the remaining two dishes in front of her princess, one is a long vegetarian dish, and the other is a yellow soup.

Princess Rao is Princess Yongping does eat more vegetarian food and less meat on weekdays - she doesn't exercise as much as Zhu Ying, so she can't eat fat at all, and has to pay attention to her body shape all the time - but Zhu Ying took care of her lover so openly, she was still shocked, and after being stunned, she said angrily: "Zhu Ying, do you still think that you are a child who ate alone at the beginning?" ”

"I eat alone by myself, and now I'm pulling Ah Shou to eat together! Besides, I heard that you don't have to be a vegetarian every 15th day of the Lunar New Year? Today is the fifteenth, you can taste the shredded potatoes and pumpkin soup, it has never tasted, I specially left it for you, you can taste it, keep it delicious! ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but think of those children who were protecting food when he saw Zhu Ying's posture of dividing the dishes just now, and couldn't help but laugh. So, in the face of Princess Yongping's delicate face, he could only play the role of a narrator.

"The princess must have never eaten potatoes and pumpkins, right? It's shredded potatoes and pumpkin soup made from potatoes and pumpkin, and I haven't tasted it but I'm not sure how those chefs made it. It is said that when we were in Haidong, the locals used these two ingredients as our staple food such as rice and noodles. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the old salted fish, and he said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to use it as a staple food, you can boil it in salted water, and then peel it and mash it into a puree to eat, but now as a dish, the taste is very important, and I don't know how the chef who cooks it seasons." However, if I reveal the taste of potatoes and pumpkins in advance, there will be some surprises, so why don't princesses try them first? ”

Princess Yongping can't trust Zhu Ying, but she at least knows that Zhang Shou is not a coaxing person.

However, what she has never seen before, she usually never tries - she has never been a character who likes new things, caution and caution occupy most of her character, just as impulsiveness and fiery are always Zhu Ying's temperament.

At this time, when she was hesitating, she saw that Zhu Ying had unceremoniously stretched out her chopsticks across half of the table.

She could only watch Zhu Ying snatch food from her mouth, and put a large chopstick shredded potato into her mouth, but after chewing it twice, her eyes widened suddenly. When she found that Zhu Ying's face was obviously not so right, Princess Yongping, who was still muttering just now, was stunned for a moment, and then she had a bad premonition.

You know, although the poisoning incident in Kunning Palace proved to be just a joke, but now that it is outside the palace, it won't really be okay, right?

"Hurry up and take the ......" Zhang Shoucai called out two words, and a cup was stuffed in his hand, realizing that the temperature was just right, and he didn't have time to see who the person who delivered the tea so coincidentally, so he directly helped Zhu Ying is half a cup of water to pour it down.

Sure enough, when she went down to the stomach with half a cup of water, Zhu Ying breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Which chef did this! Oh my God, I knew it was spicy, but I didn't expect it to be so spicy! Dad and Grandpa Ge, how can they get used to eating? Isn't this a pit man! These chefs have just learned about chili peppers today, how dare they put so many condiments into them so much? ”

Zhang Shou took a pair of chopsticks and shredded potatoes with a strange expression, and then couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. For him, who has not experienced the baptism of supreme spicy in his previous life for many years, this shredded potato is actually quite good, but Zhu Ying's ability to eat spicy food is far worse than him, and it is understandable that the scene just appeared at the first bite. But as Zhu Ying said, what about the chef below?

However, he just wanted to remind the other two tablesβ€”after all, the three big, one small, four monks and the old salted fish should be people who have been baptized by chili peppers for a long time, so they won't be so badβ€”but he turned his head to look, only to see that on the table of the nobles, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, Weinan Bo Zhang Kang, three people with three pairs of chopsticks almost brushed and sandwiched the shredded potatoes of a chopstick.

That's not all, even Ge Yong, Qi Jingshan and Chu Ying at the other table are the same.

If Zhu Ying just said that it was delicious, they might still have doubts, but Zhu Ying's gaffe just now aroused their curiosity. So, almost instantly, at least three or four of the six people at the two tables coughed violently.

"Ahem, ahem, ahemβ€”"

Princess Yongping didn't know what kind of face she should show - Zhu Ying was just reckless, but how could those old adults be like children?

At this moment, she saw the low-key young man who had just silently handed Zhang Shou a teacup to Zhang Shou, approached Zhang Shou, bowed his head and said, "It was Aunt Liu who said to those chefs, young master, that you are not spicy or happy." ”

Zhang Shou found out that Ah Liu didn't know when he had come. He didn't expect that the biggest "hero" of this weird seasoning turned out to be Aunt Liu, and he laughed for a while, so he immediately said: "You hurry up and order, this chili must be used carefully, this kind of novel taste is not something that everyone can bear, if it affects their judgment in the future, they have to be responsible!" ”

As soon as he said this, Ah Liu agreed, however, as soon as the young man went down to warn those chefs, Weinan Bo Zhang Kang suddenly said: "Although this taste is a little stronger, but the aftertaste is endless, I like it a lot." This condiment is called chili? It is also an overseas specialty, grown in Cangzhou? When I go back to the capital, if it is planted, I will first order ten catties per month! ”

Ten pounds per month...... Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. Wei Nanbo, do you think you can finish eating? Wait, I forgot that the fresh pepper is not a dry pepper, ten catties is actually not much, dried and ground into minced pieces, and then sprinkled on the roasted beef and mutton skewers, that should be very good, I don't know if this naturalized Mongolian for many years, whether he still likes the rough stuff of barbecue.

Oh, Zhang Kang is not the only one in the dignified Weinan Bo Mansion, there are dozens of people, ten catties of chili peppers sent over, and it is estimated that most people can't even drink a sip of chili water......

Zhang Shou thought about it, and suddenly recalled a certain strongman friend who was spicy and spicy, and bought ten catties of millet spicy at home, and suddenly laughed dumbly. When he saw that the first three young monks were all happy to look at the waves, he knew that as professionals who had been cultivating these for many years, they were glad that the fruits of their labor were well received.

After Zhang Kang, Zhang Chuan said thoughtfully: "I can't get used to eating this pepper for a while, but the taste of this shredded potato is very special." If there is another way, it would be a good dish. And if I can make a staple food, I'd like to study it. In this way, after the planting comes out, I will send ten catties to my house every month...... No, twenty pounds. ”

Zhu Jing didn't want to admit that he tasted it because of Zhu Ying's performance, but it was this bite that made him feel bad. Whether it is shredded potatoes or chili peppers, they are not to his appetite, and he naturally has no intention of pulling these at home, but he can't lose to Zhang Kang and Zhang Chuan.

Otherwise, after going back, will Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang complain that he refuses to help his future son-in-law?

So, he put down his chopsticks and said quietly: "In the future, remember to send ten catties of chili peppers and twenty catties of potatoes to the house every month." ”

Zhang Shou listened to the number of reports one after another, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to feel that the choking reaction just now turned out to be an endless number of orders, which seemed a little abnormal! Sure enough, the next moment he heard Chu Ying's complaints.

"What kind of messy taste is this, and you still think it's good? I still like to be lighter! ”
