Chapter 112: Dongfang Shuo
Yun Xiao waited for half an hour, and Princess Guantao was late.
It seems that the mother-in-law who became the emperor is indeed a lot more angry, and Yun Xiao has never sat on the cold bench for such a long time when she came to her house before.
"Yunhou is a rare guest, why do you have time to come to me today."
Princess Guantao had just sat down behind the table when she said this. Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. It turned out that this mother-in-law was provocative and blamed herself for coming.
"I thought that I would come to visit the lord when I came back from the grassland, but Yun Xiao accidentally got a piece of jade in the grassland. It was the marriage of Emperor Gaozu and his relatives, and the Huns did not know the benefits of this jade. As a result, it was defaced, and these days I found someone to take a plate. This is a worthy dish of eyebrows, and only then does he dare to take it out and offer it to the master. I hope that the Lord will not dislike the courtesy. ”
As he spoke, Yun Xiao waved his hand, and the goshawk took a lacquerware box from the guard's hand.
The pitch-black wooden box reflects the light, and the lacquer surface is delicately polished to resemble a baby's face. Not to mention the utensils inside, even this box is a work of art.
Princess Guantao's maid result box is placed in front of Princess Guantao. Gently pull the copper ring to pull the lacquer box apart. Fang Meiyu appeared in front of Princess Guantao, and Princess Guantao, who had seen the world, immediately straightened her eyes.
The jade is as warm as mutton fat, and it glows softly in the black lacquer box. A flying phoenix is carved on the top of the jade, and the carving is delicate and lifelike, as if it will fly high from the jade at any time.
Princess Guantao immediately remembered the legendary Taizu Yubi in her mind. Legend has it that Emperor Gao conquered the Xiongnu that year, but Bai Deng was besieged and returned defeated. The helpless Gaozu had to use the Mao Dun Shan who was close to the person. Just in the beginning. Gaozu wanted to use his eldest princess to go and kiss.
As a result, Lu Hou strongly objected, so he had to give up. had to choose a girl among the distant side branches of the Liu family to go and kiss. However, she is still nominally called the eldest princess, and in order to show the status of the eldest princess, she gave a flying phoenix jade from the Qin Palace to the princess.
It is said that this jade is a relic of antiquity and possesses extraordinary powers. It can bring good luck to the wearer, and often wear it around to dispel diseases and eliminate disasters and prolong life.
In their later years, Gaozu and Empress Lu were annoyed that this piece of jade was used as a dowry, and later generations called that jade as Gaozu Yubi. I didn't expect Yun Xiao to actually send this thing to his eyes today.
"Is this ...... It's the piece of ...... that Gaozu is concerned about."
Princess Guantao almost didn't believe her eyes, she really didn't think of it. The things of the year are back in the Han Dynasty. And on your own table.
"Nangong. Oh, Pingyang has seen it. According to the shape, this should be the piece of Gaozu jade. It's just that the Huns can't maintain the method to Qin, and Yun Xiao has found a virgin to panyu these days. Seeing that this color was light, he dared to use it in front of the master, but after a long time, the master must have to find a virgin again. ”
"Naturally. That's nature. Yunhou sent such a heavy gift. This...... Hongu didn't know what to say. Come. Take the pair of ruyi that His Majesty gave to the palace. Let Yunhou take it back, this Pingyang has a title, how can I be an aunt at all. ”
Princess Guantao was already smiling so much that she couldn't see her eyes, although she was talking to Yun Xiao. But the eyelids never lifted. His eyes stared at the jade as if he was attracted by a magnet.
It took a long time for Princess Guantao to reluctantly remove her eyes from the jade. The maid took the lacquer box away and kept it safe, while instructing the chief steward.
"Don't hurry up and order a banquet, Yunhou rarely comes to our house once. Let the cooks stutter, Yun Xiao is the first person to eat our big man. If you lose the face of our house, take a closer look at the skin on their bodies. ”
"No, the villain will go and command now."
The chief steward ran out of the house, and the kitchen was already nervous. It is much more difficult to take care of Yunhou for a meal than to take care of His Majesty, who doesn't know that Yunhou is the ancestor of gluttony. Almost all the famous dishes in Chang'an are handed down by his family, and the chef of Princess Tao's Mansion is a high-achieving student who graduated from Lan Xiang.
When I was in Lan Xiang, I also listened to several public classes taught by Yun Xiao, and the cooking of dishes was almost to the point of being a mountain. Now I want to cook for this grandfather, and the chef said that the pears are so big.
"Come on, let the singing and dancing team prepare. Yunhou is rare to come, let those little hooves come up with the best show. As long as Yunhou is happy, this palace will be rewarded.
Yunhou, this food is the second in Chang'an, and no one dares to call it the first. But in singing and dancing, the palace can be regarded as the first in Chang'an. Don't look at the heavens and the earth, and what Lichun Courtyard is. Their singing and dancing are not on the stage here in the palace. Recently, this palace has gained a talent, and I will let you see his ability in a while. ”
That Fang Taizu Yubi immediately brought the relationship between Princess Guantao and Yun Xiao closer, and Princess Guantao now treats Yun Xiao as if she were her own aunt. If she has another daughter, it is estimated that she will definitely marry Yun Xiao, even if she is a concubine.
"Oh, the one who can be loved by the Lord. It must be a stunt, Yun Xiao listened to it for a while. ”
In fact, Yun Xiao likes the Yuefu song and dance of the Han Dynasty more than this, and always feels that there is no dancing without a thousand hands Guanyin. It doesn't have the kind of voice that is the most dazzling ethnic style, and the words are obscure.
I really miss the bespectacled Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou's gang, it would be great if they could cross it.
"You should also raise a kabuki team at home, maybe that girl in Pingyang is jealous and you are not allowed to raise it. The next time you see me, tell her, what is it for you to take a few concubines for the marquis. By the way, I haven't heard anything since the last false pregnancy. Now how are you two doing, this palace has a secret recipe pack that you can ......"
Women just love gossip, Yun Xiao didn't know that Princess Guantao was also so gossipy. Nangong is just a big aunt a few days late, and this girl thinks she is pregnant. As a result, there was an oolong, but the emperor's mother-in-law immediately prescribed medicine. The words were so explicit that they almost said that the golden gun would not fall. Rao is Yunxiao's face has been sharpened very thick, but he is still so ashamed that his face is red.
Anyway, you have a secret recipe and take care of your daughter, this queen has never been pregnant in her life. Maybe it may really be the reason for the marriage of close relatives, Yun Xiao remembers that this Gillian mother was abolished in the end. In addition to Wei Zifu's kick, it is also closely related to her inability to have children. The Han Dynasty always needed an heir, and a barren queen was clearly incompetent.
In the future, you can also find Tianqiao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for this matter. But now, it is estimated that there is no way for the Holy Hand of the Imperial Doctor. It will take more than 2,000 years for IVF to exist.
Yun Xiao's mind was thinking wildly, and at the same time, he should be with Princess Guantao.
Under tremendous pressure, the chefs of Princess Guantao's Mansion exploded with outrageous efficiency. It took them the shortest time, and after a short time of frying and frying, a delicate dish was served.
"Yunhou can try it, see if my chef here has learned eight points of your ability. This palace has spent a lot of money to support these people. ”
Yun Xiao picked up a chopstick red oil ear silk, which is the signature dish of the Yun family's wine. The ear shreds are cut evenly and the cucumbers are cut horizontally and served with heavy spicy seeds. It seems that this cook has already obtained a few true inheritances from Aunt Wei, and it can be seen from this dish that this chef has good knife skills.
As for the chopped pepper fish head, I don't taste it, and the fish head is faintly red inside. It was obvious that it was a big fire for the sake of rushing work, but it was not fully cooked.
Soft-fried tenderloin is also good, dipped in salt and pepper on the side. Crispy in the mouth and soft to chew. It's really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and this heat is still well mastered. Yun Xiao thought he didn't have this kung fu.
The most signature is the braised pork, the serious pork belly is fatty but not greasy, and the taste is very good. It seems that this chef has a lot of brushes.
"Master, this cook is very good at cooking. Even in the Yun family, this level can be called excellent. The lord has such a cook, and in Chang'an City, in addition to the imperial chef in the palace, only your family's dishes dare to be called the first. ”
"Hahaha, you just change your way to praise your own family."
"The minister's own family? The Lord ......"
"This cook graduated from your family's Lanxiang Technical School, and someone came to reward the one named Dongfang Shuo." (To be continued......)
