There are cabbage leaves in the middle of a dumpling box, and around the side are mashed eggplant, mashed potatoes, egg sauce, beef sauce, chopped green onions, chopped coriander, sticky sorghum rice and rice.

In the middle of a box is spring pancake mixed with white flour and buckwheat noodles, and in a circle around it are shredded onions, cucumbers, potatoes, eggplants, chives and bean sprouts, scrambled eggs, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and bacon.

Kangxi's eyes fell on some miscellaneous grains, and he felt satisfied.

This is how it should be, only the whole grains can nourish people.

And this ingredient...

Compared with delicacies such as "Fu Shou Xi", Kangxi still preferred such down-to-earth ingredients.

Compared with the two full dining tables in front of the emperor, the table in front of the four princes was relatively simple.

A dinner plate was placed on the small table, with a bowl of plain noodles on it, and two small bowls next to it, one meat and one vegetarian, two stewed pork belly stewed and black fungus tofu stewed; there were also four five-inch plates with two

There are four side dishes of meat and two vegetarian dishes. The two meat dishes are salt-fried pork and smooth chicken breast, and the two vegetarian dishes are spinach vermicelli and sweet and sour radish.

These four dishes are the standard dishes in the palace.

The four princes felt full after seeing it.

The fifth elder brother couldn't help but stretched his neck and looked at the dining table on the kang. There were so many plates.

The third elder brother felt that he should be more promising, but looking at the actions of the fifth elder brother across from him, he couldn't help but turn his head.

Kangxi sat cross-legged at the dining table, handed the towel to wipe his hands to Liang Jiugong, and asked to pick up the chopsticks.

Feeling the hot gaze below him, he looked at his sons below.

No one moved their chopsticks, and all four of them looked at me.

Huh?

Looking at your dining table?!

Lao Wu, what is that action?

Why did the third and seventh children also cause trouble?

Kangxi thought of his ninth elder brother and knew that this was "the one who is close to Mo is black".

Only the eighth prince was okay, he behaved and waited for me to pick up the chopsticks without showing any sign of salivating.

Kangxi felt disgusted with his son, so he raised his chopsticks, looked at everyone and said, "Eat!"

After that, he took the spring pancakes and planned to roll them himself and eat them.

When he looked at the side dishes, he chose shredded potatoes.

Potatoes were also stored in the palace last year, but due to improper storage, they sprouted. Later, they were divided and made into seeds, and a small potato garden was opened in the northeast corner of Changchun Garden.

There don’t seem to be many potatoes in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion. How are they preserved?

I don’t know how it tastes…

When he took it into his mouth, it actually had a crispy taste, and Kangxi knew it.

These are actually new potatoes. They were cultivated in a greenhouse and moved outdoors when they are half grown, so the harvest time is two months earlier.

The four at the bottom also raised their chopsticks.

The fifth elder brother was hungry, so he put the pork belly stew directly on the noodle bowl and looked at the rice box in front of the emperor to eat.

The third brother also brought up chopsticks, but they were not enough for this dish, so he picked up the radish skins in boredom.

The seventh elder brother also slowed down, eager to eat the noodles one by one.

The eighth prince felt strange.

He had never paid much attention to food, so he didn't quite understand everyone's reaction at first, but the fifth elder brother's greedy face was clearly visible on his face, so he understood it.

He was very speechless.

Is this intentional?

Deliberately pretending to be greedy and lazy?

Kangxi ate a spring pancake and a small rice bag, and that was about it.

The two saving plates still looked as if they had not been touched.

Kangxi pointed to the two storage boxes and ordered the eunuch serving the kitchen: "Bring it to the table and let the brothers have a taste."

The eunuch serving the dining room responded and carried down the dining table with two plates on it and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.

The fifth elder brother couldn't wait, but he looked at the third elder brother.

After hearing this, the third elder brother stood up, looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, what about the sons?"

Kangxi nodded.

Others followed suit, and the four of them arrived at the Eight Immortals table.

Third Brother said: "It looks rich. There are even rice and vegetables. Try it..."

As he said this, he hesitated between spring cakes and rice dumplings, and chose spring cakes, half with scrambled eggs and half with chives and bean sprouts. After one bite, it was crispy and fragrant.

The fifth elder brother also took action. He also chose spring pancakes, sandwiched bacon directly, and picked two pieces of fat pork belly. He also ate with satisfaction.

The seventh brother made a rice dumpling with beef sauce. It was not like eating noodles just now. It was a big rice dumpling with a fist, and only half of it was eaten in one bite.

The eighth prince watched the three of them feasting and felt out of place.

This feels like a home-cooked side dish, is it so delicious?

You also eat them with your hands. What’s wrong with this?

Indecent.

He hesitated for a while, then took a piece of spring pancake and stuffed it with scrambled eggs to eat.

At this time, the third brother had already finished a spring pancake and was thinking of a new way to eat it. The spring pancake was filled with cabbage leaves, beef sauce and shredded green onions, and it actually tasted good.

When the fifth elder brother saw it, he rolled shredded potatoes and bacon in cabbage leaves and ate it deliciously.

Seeing this, the seventh prince also started to mix and match.

The eighth prince was standing by and saw the contents of the basket falling quickly.

He couldn't help but look back at the kang.

Kangxi was still sitting, holding the tea cup in his hand, and did not ask anyone to clear the dining table.

The three brothers were eating while standing, and it was not convenient for the eighth brother to go back and sit down, nor to put down his chopsticks.

He ate slowly, and after eating three spring pancakes and the half bowl of noodles just now, he was seventy percent full, so the others slowed down.

All the vegetables in the box were gone.

Fifth Brother freed up his right hand and tugged on his belt.

The third elder brother also felt overwhelmed. He looked at the three younger brothers and saw that everyone was about the same, and said: "Then, let's taste this first?"

The fifth elder brother nodded with satisfaction.

Starting tomorrow, he plans to ask his kitchen to make spring pancake plates as well. Instead of eating mixed-flour spring pancakes, he will eat white-flour spring pancakes, which will be paired directly with sauced pork ribs and braised pork sausage. It will definitely be delicious.

The seventh prince's expression remained unchanged, but he felt regretful in his heart. He couldn't stop for a moment and was very full.

The eighth prince looked at the half-empty saving plate and was speechless.

This is called tasting?!

Why do brothers eat so much?

He was a little unsure. Could it be that he had neglected riding and shooting in the past two years and his appetite had not improved, so others were practicing riding and shooting in private?

The four of them returned to their previous seats and were dumbfounded looking at the noodles in front of them.

This is the food given by the emperor, so you must finish it.

Even my son is no exception.

The noodle bowl is a sea bowl. It is not full of noodles, but it is still full of half the bowl.

Kangxi looked at everyone's reactions and had no intention of speaking.

Should!

How old are they all? Do they all have a strong appetite for food?

Seeing Kangxi's reaction, the four of them had no choice but to pick up the noodle bowls.

Only Eighth Prince was doing better. He only had half a bowl of noodles left, and he was only about seventy percent full before.

Everyone else, everyone else was very full, their stomachs felt heavy even when they were sitting, and their throats and eyes felt itchy even when they were holding noodle bowls.

However, the three of them didn't even think about asking for mercy, they just went in and ate it.

After eating, the fifth elder brother’s eyes were wet.

He regretted that he shouldn't have poured all the meat marinade into the noodles. It was salty and greasy.

The third elder brother also wants to give himself a slap in the face. He can just try it, so why are he greedy?
