Chapter 249 His Majesty is Greedy Again

Just looking at the appearance of the beef noodles on the table is enough to whet your appetite.

After smelling the fragrance again, the Xie brothers' stomachs began to growl uncontrollably.

General Xie fell in love with the shiny and fragrant dry-fried beef noodles at first sight, while Xie Mi chose the wet-fried beef noodles with starch sauce.

The two brothers looked at each other, quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

General Xie picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

As soon as the beef entered his mouth, General Xie was amazed by its smooth and tender taste.

The beef in Niuhe is selected from tender and clear-textured parts, which are cut into evenly thin slices and then fried.

This can not only ensure that the beef can be cooked quickly during the frying process over high heat, but also lock in the juice inside, ensuring that the meat is tender and juicy.

When I chewed it, it was so tender that my heart trembled.

He swallowed the beef, picked up a small handful of rice noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The rice noodles are smooth and refreshing. Just put them to your lips and suck them gently, and they will flow into your mouth obediently.

It has the right amount of saltiness, is soft, elastic, chewy, and has a slight burnt aroma.

During the stir-frying process, the rice noodles absorbed the essence of the beef and became delicious.

As you chew, the freshness of the leek, the crispness of the bean sprouts and the smoothness and texture of the beef noodles burst in your mouth.

If you taste it carefully, you will find that the fragrant rice aroma, the rich beef aroma, and the mellow sauce aroma are perfectly combined together, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to your taste buds.

General Xie ate the stir-fried beef noodles with big mouthfuls, eating with ecstasy.

He has been in the army for a long time and is not very particular about details.

Now, when eating fried beef noodles, his movements become more and more bold, as if he wants to eat the whole plate.

It smells so good. Suddenly I don’t want to leave the capital anymore.

Xie Mi did not notice his brother's "vulgar" behavior. His mind and eyes were now filled with the fried beef noodles in front of him and he could not see anything else.

Different from the smooth and fragrant dry-fried beef noodles, every piece of beef noodles in the wet-fried beef noodles is soaked in sauce, making it soft, smooth and tasty.

The beef is extremely tender and has a delicate taste.

It’s so blissful to eat the soft and smooth rice noodles wrapped in rich sauce!

The beef is tender and juicy, perfectly blending with the smoothness of the rice noodles and the richness and deliciousness of the sauce. You can feel the harmony and complementarity between the ingredients in every bite.

Kale is crispy and sweet, with rich taste layers, which makes people unconsciously indulge in this wonderful taste experience and linger.

"No wonder the waiter recommended this winter melon meatball soup just now. It goes perfectly with the fried beef noodles."

Although General Xie and Xie Mi were already immersed in the deliciousness of the fried beef noodles, they did not forget the winter melon meatball soup.

The winter melon meatball soup also contains dried shrimps, which makes it fresh and sweet.

The soup has the salty flavor of meatballs, the freshness of winter melon and the deliciousness of dried shrimps.

The meatballs are very chewy. When you take a bite, juice overflows and your mouth is instantly filled with rich fragrance.

It is really delicious to eat fried beef noodles while drinking winter melon meatball soup.

General Xie stopped in his busy schedule and glanced at Xie Mi with an inexplicable look on his face.

"If I hadn't come back this time, I wouldn't have known that you were all living such a fairy-like life in the capital."

No, this day should be as beautiful as a fairy tale. Even the gods would be jealous if they saw it.

Xie Mi: ...

I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm in danger.

The jealousy in the eldest brother's eyes could no longer be hidden.

…

Just like making Meicaikourou, this time you also need to use bamboo sticks to poke some small holes in the skin of the pork belly that has been boiled with ginger and cooking wine to produce blood foam, and then apply the sauce.

Chen Huazheng put the processed pork belly into the oil pan and fried it until the skin was golden brown, then put it in cold water to cool it down and make the skin wrinkled.

After the pork belly was dried, the cooks cut the meat into large slices of even thickness as instructed.

Chen Huazheng used sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fermented bean curd and other seasonings to make a sauce, and put the meat in it to marinate.

The cooks peeled the taro and cut it into even-sized slices.

Zhou Ying put the taro slices into the oil pan and fried them briefly, then took them out.

At this time, the meat is almost marinated.

Shen Huazheng asked someone to bring a large porcelain bowl and began to put the meat slices and taro into it.

Place a piece of meat and a piece of taro in sequence.

As she put them in, she said to Zhou Ying, "Put them like this: one piece of meat and one piece of taro. The skin side down."

The meat steamed in this way has the fragrance of taro and the flavor of meat, and it is extremely delicious.

Zhou Ying looked at it carefully and nodded.

After arranging the pork belly and taro, Shen Huazheng evenly sprinkled the marinade sauce on them, then put them in the steamer and started steaming.

After the steaming was completed, Zhou Ying used a plate to cover the large porcelain bowl and turned it over neatly.

Take the porcelain bowl away and the fresh fragrance will immediately fill the air.

Zhou Ying couldn't help but inhale the fragrance in the air: "It smells so good!"

Because Chen Huazheng stacked the pork belly with the skin facing downwards, after turning it upside down, the skin now faces upwards.

The brown-red pig skin is interspersed with white taro with a hint of lavender, which looks delicious.

Chen Huazheng blinked: "You can eat it now."

…

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingning closed the memorial and gently rubbed his brows.

Andersen, who was waiting on the side, promptly brought over a bamboo tube filled with taro milk tea and inserted a reed straw.

"Your Majesty, please have some milk tea."

Emperor Jingning took the milk tea, stirred it with a reed straw, and then took a sip of the milk tea, along with the taro paste.

After being stirred with a reed straw, the taro paste and milk tea are mixed together.

The milk tea is smooth and refreshing, the taro paste is soft and delicate, and has a light sweet fragrance.

Emperor Jingning's brows relaxed and he drank with great satisfaction.

It’s really delicious.

The Empress Dowager likes grape milk cap, but Emperor Jingning likes taro milk tea.

He didn’t like eating taro before because he thought it tasted just so-so.

But when the taro is mashed into taro paste, it tastes incredibly good.

Later, after tasting the taro milk tea, Emperor Jingning fell deeply in love with this milk tea that tasted like both a drink and a sweet soup.

There are so many chefs in Daliang, but they only know that taro can be steamed.

I never thought that it could be made into taro paste and made into milk tea.

So if the food doesn’t taste good, it’s not a problem with the ingredients themselves.

It’s because the chef doesn’t know how to use cooking techniques to bring out the flavor of the ingredients and make them delicious.

Emperor Jingning felt the dense and smooth taste in his mouth, and felt that most of his fatigue was gone, and his body and mind felt much more relaxed.

A sip of milk tea gives you a full aroma of taro paste, which is soft, glutinous and smooth.

It seems that what I drank was not milk tea, but a big mouthful of happiness.

Sure enough, after busy official duties, I still have to reward myself well.

Sometimes, happiness is that simple.

Just need a cup of milk tea.

Hahaha! ! !

Every day there are endless memorials to review and various national affairs to deal with.

If there were no delicious food in this world, what would be the point of life?

At this time, the eunuch who was guarding outside came in to report: "Your Majesty, Ye Xin, who is beside the Queen, came and said that Your Majesty is invited to have lunch in the Queen's palace."

Emperor Jingning said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.

Thinking of lunch, Emperor Jingning suddenly thought of another thing.

"Is the Xie family's kid's wedding coming soon?"

An Desheng replied with a smile: "General Xie's wedding will be the day after tomorrow, and it was His Majesty who granted General Xie a marriage."

Before Xie Yanqing went to the palace to ask Emperor Jingning to grant him and Yun Ruo a marriage, everyone thought that he and Princess Lejia were a couple.

Later, I thought that Princess Lejia was in love with someone who was unrequited.

Fortunately it was just a misunderstanding.

Otherwise, Princess Lejia would be so sad.

Emperor Jingning: "Of course I remember. I heard that the wedding banquet was held in Yipinlou. I didn't expect Yipinlou would also host wedding banquets."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingning felt a little emotional.

When the plaque was bestowed upon Chen Huazheng, it was only considered as a reward for the meal she had received.

What I didn’t expect was that Yipinlou would be able to operate so well and go so far.

Now the business has expanded to wedding banquets.

But it’s better this way, at least it proves that he didn’t misjudge the person and didn’t slap him in the face.

An Desheng: "Yes, but as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yipinlou launched a variety of banquet packages. I think Princess Yinghua has long wanted to develop in this direction."

He really admired Shen Huazheng, who was young but had superb cooking skills.

New ideas come one after another.

He managed to run Lin Heung House, Yipintang and the Food Street very successfully.

I don’t know what’s going on in her brain, why she has so many weird ideas.

Emperor Jingning took another sip of milk tea and said, "What dishes do you think will be served at the wedding banquet hosted by Yipinlou?"

Judging from the banquets Shen Huazheng had hosted, this wedding banquet should have many surprises.

Moreover, this was the first time that Yipinlou hosted a wedding banquet.

Shen Huazheng will definitely be very attentive, even more attentive than the previous banquets.

It would be such a pity if we missed such an opportunity.

By the way, I've been staying in the palace recently, it's time to go out and take a look.

An Desheng was stunned. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to leave the palace to attend General Xie’s wedding banquet?

Does Your Majesty value the Xie family to such an extent?

After all, there are not many people in Daliang who are so honored to have His Majesty appear at their wedding banquet.

No, Your Majesty did not mention the wedding banquet, he was talking about the wine banquet.

Thinking of Yipinlou, which hosted the banquet, Andy On suddenly understood.

It’s not that the Xie family has a lot of face, but that Your Majesty is greedy again.

This time, I am still craving for General Xie’s banquet.

Given His Majesty's personality, he will most likely show up after the wedding is over and go straight to the banquet.

However, Andersen was also very curious about what dishes would appear at the wedding banquet of Xie Yun and his family the day after tomorrow.

The dishes on the wedding banquet table usually contain good wishes for the newlyweds. What dishes will Princess Yinghua use to represent her blessings to the newlyweds?

It must be a dish that is both delicious and auspicious.

…

Shen Huazheng had no idea what Emperor Jingning was thinking, she was happily having lunch with Zhou and Zhou Ying.

Lunch is simpler, but still includes both meat and vegetarian options.

In addition to the taro braised pork, there is also a mushroom, scallop, spring vegetable and dragon bone soup, and an egg custard.

There is also dessert after the meal.

Zhou tasted the taro braised pork and her eyes were full of amazement.

"I thought pork with preserved vegetables was delicious enough, but I didn't expect pork with taro to taste so delicious. I can eat a bowl of rice with this dish."

The taro and the fat and lean pork belly are layered alternately, which tastes unique.

After steaming, the taro has become very soft and glutinous. Because it has absorbed some of the fat from the pork belly, it has a very smooth taste.

The pork belly is soft, tender and sweet, fat but not greasy, and tender but not mushy.

The fat in the fatty part has seeped out, it is soft, mellow and melts in your mouth.

The lean meat is sweet, fragrant and mellow, lean but not dry.

Take a bite and you can taste the fatness of the taro and the sweetness of the braised pork.

Soft, sticky and sweet, it is really a unique enjoyment.

Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "This dish is eaten with rice, just like preserved vegetable and pork with rice."

Every time she eats braised pork with taro, she takes one bite of meat, one bite of rice, and then one bite of taro in that order.

It smells really good.

Zhou Ying also ate the taro braised pork with pork belly happily. The taro and pork belly cooked in this way are really delicious. The meat has the aroma of taro, and the taro has the aroma of meat.

“It’s really delicious. The combination of taro and pork belly is perfect.”

She ate a piece of pork belly, then picked up a piece of taro and put it into her mouth.

The taro used to make braised pork today is large and has clear lines. It absorbs the fat and meat flavor of the pork belly during the steaming process, making it softer and more fragrant.

Taro is soft, sticky and smooth. There is no need to chew it. Just put it in your mouth and you can feel it slowly melting on the tip of your tongue.

Because taro is added during the steaming process, the pork belly does not taste greasy at all, but instead has a hint of the unique taro aroma.

It can be said that they complement each other and make up for each other's weaknesses.

After swallowing the taro in her mouth, Zhou Ying picked up a handful of rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Just as Zheng'er said, this dish is delicious with rice.

First she eats a piece of pork belly, then a piece of soft taro, and finally a mouthful of rice. She can eat several bowls of rice.

*

Shen Huazheng ate for a while, then scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, brought it to her mouth, blew it gently, and took a small sip.

The warm soup slowly flows into the throat, and the sweet taste lingers on the tip of the tongue.

Just with this small sip, you can taste the ultimate deliciousness of the soup.

It has the fresh fragrance of spring vegetables, the sweetness of scallops and mushrooms, and the rich aroma of meat.

Although the pork belly is as fat as possible but not greasy, it is still somewhat greasy.

At this time, eating a bowl of sweet and refreshing spring vegetable soup will make you feel much more comfortable.

Shen Huazheng really likes the taste of spring vegetables, which have the bitterness of mustard greens and the sweetness of cabbage.

Whether it is made into spring vegetable stew or porridge with other ingredients, or stir-fried with bean paste or cooked in soup, it is delicious.

While drinking the refreshing spring vegetable soup, Chen Huazheng secretly observed Zhou Ying's expression.

Seeing that she seemed to be immersed in the delicious food, I breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that there is no emotion that cannot be soothed by delicious food.

As long as you have a good meal, all worries and stress can be thrown aside.

If delicious food can't heal you, there is only one reason - the so-called delicious food is not good enough.
