Chapter 41 It's really delicious

When Zhu Wen and Huang Ying heard that Huang Chao was there, they hurriedly said: "Come here, the dishes are all ready anyway."

When the waiter heard that the dishes were ready, he hurriedly ordered a few eunuchs to come over to serve the dishes, and said to Zhu Wen and Huang Ying: "General Zhu, Her Royal Highness the Princess, you go to Qingning Palace first. Of course there are dedicated people here to deliver the dishes."

Zhu Wen said: "Then I'll trouble my father-in-law."

"In any case, this is what us slaves should do. But General Zhu, you have been fighting abroad all year round, and you still want to cook for the Queen after you return to the capital. This is really a great achievement for your hard work." Being able to serve under the Queen.

Of course, the people working around him were very smart. Knowing that Zhu Wen was a general whom the emperor and the empress trusted very much, and a future candidate for their consort, they naturally had to work hard to curry favor with him.

Zhu Wen said a few words of humility and then went to Qingning Palace. As soon as he arrived at Qingning Palace, he heard Cao Shihong laugh and say: "Thank you, General Zhu. I just heard the eunuch say that the general cooked all Shandong cuisine on purpose. General Zhu really

You are a thoughtful person!"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "This is all my disciple's wish. Yesterday, the master's wife cooked the dishes herself. If I don't show my ugliness, how can I get away with it?"

As soon as Zhu Wen arrived here, the eunuch serving the dishes also arrived. All the dishes were covered with transparent glass covers. Looking through the glass covers, just looking at the color made people drool.

When Zhu Wen looked at the glass cover, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why is there glass now?"

Huang Ying looked at Zhu Wen as if he were an idiot and said, "You don't know this? Glass has been around since the Han Dynasty. During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, glass technology was already very sophisticated. How come you haven't even seen glass?"

"

Zhu Wen thought with some embarrassment: "Damn, I originally thought that there was no glass in China in ancient times, but it didn't seem to be the case? How come so many people in time-travel novels came to ancient times and made money by making glass? It turns out that that's not the case.

Are those guys talking nonsense? Damn, I’m going to make a fool of myself.”

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Isn't this kind of thing rare?"

Huang Ying said: "How come? There are obviously many of these things, so how can it be so rare? However, this kind of thing is easy to break, so it is not very popular among the people. However, many wealthy businessmen or princes and nobles like glass.

, the price is not very expensive, there is a glass-making workshop just outside Chang'an City."

Zhu Wen said with emotion: "Really? I will buy some for use another day. Is this really the first time I have seen this thing since I came here?"

Huang Ying wondered: "This is the first time I've seen it here? Where are you talking about? In the palace? There are a lot of these things in the palace, but because the grade of glass products is too low, most of the utensils in the palace are made of gold.

Mainly silver, but also jade and other higher-grade ones.”

Zhu Wen knew that he had let something slip, and hurriedly said: "Is it a lot? But I may not have noticed it before, haha..."

Huang Ying said: "You have only been in the palace two or three times. It is normal that I have never seen you in the palace!"

Zhu Wen nodded deliberately and said: "That's right. You are still smart. Why didn't I think of it?"

Huang Ying said with a proud look on her face: "You are so stupid, what do you know? Remember to ask me if there is anything you don't understand in the future, you know?"

Cao Shihong said with a smile: "Why do you two just talk to yourselves? Hurry up and eat! If you have anything to say, you can talk quietly after dinner."

Zhu Wen and Huang Ying smiled awkwardly and said in unison: "Eat, eat!"

As soon as the waiters opened the glass cover, a strong aroma hit his nostrils. Even Huang Chao couldn't help but twitch his index finger. Seeing that he wanted to move his chopsticks, but fearing that he would lose his identity, he hurriedly backed away. Only the left and right people in the room were left.

Huang Chao's family and Zhu Wen.

Huang Ding didn't care so much, so he added a chopstick and pulled out a bunch of crystal clear sugar strands. He felt very strange, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth. Zhu Wen hurriedly said: "Wait a minute..."

..." But he still shouted a step too late. As soon as Huang Ding put the golden round thing in his mouth, he immediately spit it out. His tongue was stretched out for a long time. It took him a long time to say something with his tongue, and said: "It's so hot.

!It burned me to death!”

Huang Chao and Cao Shihong both laughed. Huang Chao laughed and said: "Look at how delicious you are? Why are you so anxious? Can't you blow it?"

Zhu Wen wanted to laugh after hearing this, but he didn't dare to laugh, but Huang Ding said: "How did I know it would be so hot? No one told me!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly explained to them how to eat the jujubes. He had ordered someone to put a bowl of cold water next to the jujubes in advance. Zhu Wen demonstrated first, took a piece and put it in the cold water. When the hot syrup met

When the cold water suddenly turned into crystal clear water.

Zhu Wen gave the piece to Huang Ying and said, "Try it!"

Huang Ying imitated Zhu Wen's example and gave a piece to Huang Chao and Cao Shihong. Huang Ding imitated and made a piece himself, but this time he didn't dare to put it in his mouth. He only dared to eat after seeing Huang Ying eat it first.

As soon as I ate it, I couldn't help but sigh: "Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Well, it seems to be yam, red bean paste, and jujube paste. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food!"

Huang Chao and Cao Shihong were also full of praise, but Huang Ying didn't say anything, just looked at Zhu Wen with a smile. He felt happier when he heard the praise from his parents and younger brother than when he praised himself.

Seeing that everyone liked it, Huang Ding hurriedly put a few pieces in front of him and said with a smile: "I like this, you guys eat the others first."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "There are still many dishes. Junior brother, please don't think that the one is already the most delicious. Come and try this crystal elbow."

As soon as everyone ate it, it felt like it really melted in the mouth, and there was no need to chew at all. Everyone praised it again and again.

Then everyone tasted the sweet and sour carp and kidney shrimp. This time, they didn’t even say any words of praise and were eager to eat the next dish.

Huang Ying picked up a piece of vinegared cabbage with chopsticks and said with a smile: "When I first met Zhu Sange, the third brother made me a vinegared cabbage. I thought he looked down on me and cooked it.

A plate of cabbage came to fool me. I didn’t expect that the cabbage could be so delicious. At that time, I wanted to find an identity as a cover, and I saw that the three of them were stupid boys who had just entered the city, so I followed them. Unexpectedly, the three of them

Not only is my brother good at cooking, but he is also very good at marching and fighting."

Huang Ding said while eating the food: "Of course, Brother Zhu San is not only good at cooking, but also good at fighting. The most important thing is that he is handsome. If Brother Zhu San looks like a butcher who kills pigs,

, will my sister still choose to be with them?"

Huang Ying blushed and hit Huang Ding with her chopsticks, and said coquettishly: "What a boy, I can't even stop your mouth while eating!"

Huang Ding said aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm telling the truth! Why do you beat someone?"

Huang Ying pretended to be angry and said: "You also said, believe it or not, you won't be able to talk nonsense after I beat you?"

When Huang Ding saw his sister getting angry, he hurriedly smiled and said: "My good sister, can't you do it if I'm wrong? Stop hitting me. Why are you pinching me? I really don't know how my third brother can stand you."

As for this temper, oh, I won’t say it anymore, and I won’t say it anymore. Sister, please forgive me..."

Huang Ying then gave up, and in the end she did not forget to warn: "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future! Humph!"

Huang Ding rubbed his painful ears, glanced at Zhu Wen meaningfully, and said, "Third brother, now I realize that you are the greatest and most tolerant man in the world." He turned his face.

Seeing his sister looking at him with an unkind expression, he hurriedly made a face to her and said: "Sister, eat some vegetables, eat some vegetables, look at how well made this shark's fin is. Third brother, what's the name of this shark's fin?"

Zhu Wen said: "This is called Shark's Fin."

Huang Ding wondered: "How come this shark's fin tastes many times better than what I have eaten before? And why does this shark's fin also taste like pork and chicken? Well, it's amazing. Third brother, please teach me if you have time."

How to do it well?"

Zhu Wen said: "It's actually very simple. I just used half a catty of dried shark's fins when making it, and then put two pork knuckles, five or six chicken wings, and two chicken legs on top to steam for two hours, and then steamed them for two hours.

Just put in the pre-made thickener."

Huang Ding said: "Is it so troublesome? Let's forget it. Whenever I want to eat, I can just go to Third Brother. Don't let Third Brother make it for me."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "I don't have shark fins at home, and I don't have much savings. Where can I get the money to buy them?"

Huang Ding chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. When my sister gets married in a few days, I will decide to bring more dried shark's fins as a dowry, so that my brother-in-law can eat as much as he can, haha..."

Huang Ying felt a little shy as soon as she said this sentence, and even Zhu Wen was a little embarrassed, right? Have you ever heard of a girl being married off as a dowry of shark fins? If this were to spread, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?

, I thought that General Zhu Wen really couldn’t even afford shark fins.

Zhu Wen said awkwardly: "That's not necessary. Whenever you want to come and eat, just let me know first. I will prepare the ingredients for you in advance. It will save you nothing if you want it later."

Cao Shihong suddenly said: "Lao San, are all these dishes of yours really Shandong cuisine? Is it possible that I am so ignorant that I have never even tasted the dishes from my hometown?"

Of course Zhu Wen knew that although the dishes he cooked were authentic Shandong cuisine, most of them were famous dishes passed down from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Except for the sweet and sour carp, almost no one had seen other dishes in the Tang Dynasty, so it was not surprising at all.

I have never seen Cao Shihong.

Zhu Wen said: "These are Shandong dishes, but they are not authentic Shandong dishes. I made some changes on the basis of traditional Shandong dishes to make them what they are now. I wonder if they suit the taste of my wife?"
