Chapter 136 Chrysanthemum Feast (Part 3)
At the men's table, Prince An was devouring a dish of pig's trotters stewed with chrysanthemums.
In the past, he would have looked down upon such "cheap ingredients".
But from today on, pig's trotters will become one of his favorite foods.
The pig's trotters were stewed to be very tasty, soft and delicious.
The part connected to the bones is lean meat, and the remaining thick layer is the essence.
The texture is like chewy cartilage, and every bite is full of gelatin. It is soft but not mushy, fat but not greasy, and has a bit of chewiness in the softness.
During the stewing process, the unique fragrance of chrysanthemum has completely penetrated into the pork. When you chew it, the fragrance of flowers and meat spreads in your mouth at the same time, with rich taste and lingering fragrance.
The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you enjoy it.
Prince An ate with his mouth full of oil, and he did not forget to pick up the wine glass and take a sip of chrysanthemum wine from time to time.
Comfortable, really comfortable!!
It’s such a delicious feast, it’s a pity that my brother can’t taste it.
Since the emperor cannot eat these delicacies, let him, as his younger brother, eat more.
When I enter the palace, I can describe the taste to my brother.
Hahaha! !
"It's really delicious, really delicious!"
The guests ate and sighed.
This meal was so delicious, whether it was the chrysanthemum soup or the dishes and desserts made with chrysanthemums.
Each dish has its own characteristics and its own deliciousness.
I can’t say which dish was the best, but they were all delicious.
It was so delicious that they felt like crying while eating it.
Wow, I don’t know how many times I can have this kind of feast.
Why is Princess Yinghua not their child? ?
Thinking of this, someone looked at Shen Zhaonian dimly.
Shen Zhaonian didn't notice the strange looks around him. He was eating the chrysanthemum and hibiscus shrimps with relish.
Peel the fresh shrimps, remove the shrimp threads, fry until cooked, add egg liquid and washed chrysanthemum petals, stir-fry quickly and serve.
The shrimp is light pink in color, dotted with golden eggs and chrysanthemum petals, which makes people's appetite grow.
The shrimp meat is chewy, tender and juicy. When you bite it gently, the delicious juice bursts on your tongue.
The eggs seem to be cooked but not overcooked, and they taste soft and silky.
The shrimp meat is springy and refreshing, while the eggs are tender, fragrant and light. The combination of two completely different tastes makes it taste unique.
By chewing it, you can also smell the unique fragrance of chrysanthemum.
Before I could react, the fragrance of autumn suddenly leapt onto the tip of my tongue, intoxicating my taste buds.
Various unique flavors and tastes blend together, and every bite is full of infinite deliciousness and layers of texture.
Shen Zhaonian swallowed the chrysanthemum and lotus shrimp in his mouth reluctantly, picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all.
The fragrance of chrysanthemum quickly swept over the tip of the tongue with the help of the alcohol, and instantly filled the entire mouth and nose, with a light floral scent flowing between the lips and teeth.
The taste is simply wonderful!
…
Princess Yi'an, Madam Zhou and other elderly ladies don't like fried food very much and prefer milder meals.
They were very satisfied with the chicken soup, which was made not only with figs but also with chrysanthemum petals for added color and flavor.
Yellow petals float on the fragrant and rich soup, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Chrysanthemum has a fresh fragrance and a soft and chewy texture, which is very interesting.
Take a sip of the chicken soup, the sweetness of the figs meets the rich aroma of the chicken soup, as well as the faint fragrance.
If you taste it carefully, you will find the meaty, fruity and floral aromas intertwined with each other, and every part of your mouth is filled with this gentle and lingering fragrance.
After swallowing the chicken soup in her mouth, Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned.
The combination of chrysanthemum, figs and chicken soup is so perfect.
The soup is rich and mellow, and the chrysanthemum, wolfberry and figs also show their magical powers during the stewing process. They soak and penetrate each other.
With the finishing touch of chrysanthemum, the originally smooth and delicate chicken soup immediately becomes fresh, refined, elegant and lively.
It’s really wonderful!
The people around were also immersed in the shock and surprise of the deliciousness and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
Princess Yi'an drank the chicken soup silently without saying a word.
In addition to this fragrant and delicious chicken soup, she was also impressed by the chrysanthemum and sea bass soup.
The flowers have a light fragrance and the fish meat is sweet, it is truly a delicacy that is hard to find in the world.
She never thought that there would be a day when she could feel the freshness and nourishment from nature while tasting delicious food.
Princess Yinghua is indeed different from ordinary people.
…
Royal Palace
Emperor Jingning suddenly felt his nose itchy. He quickly picked up a handkerchief beside him, covered his mouth and nose, and turned around.
“A-choo!”
Queen Mother: ...
Why did the emperor sneeze while eating?
What a shame.
Fortunately, he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in time and turned around.
Otherwise, all the delicious food on the table would be wasted.
The queen's eyes were full of worry: "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Are you not wearing enough clothes today?"
Emperor Jingning waved his hand: "I'm fine, I just sneezed suddenly."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately His Majesty was fine.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to continue this meal.
The Queen Mother looked kind and said, "As long as the Emperor is fine, let's continue with our meal."
Emperor Jingning was touched to see that the Empress Dowager and the Queen cared so much about him.
He stood up and scooped a bowl of porridge for the Queen Mother, "Mother, try this chrysanthemum and minced fish porridge, it tastes very good."
The Queen Mother: "The Emperor is thoughtful."
Emperor Jingning picked up another piece of chrysanthemum and lotus shrimp for the queen, "Queen, try this dish, it's very delicious."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
And just like that, after this little episode of sneezing, the three giants of the palace continued to dine quietly.
The Queen Mother stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her mouth, blew on it, and took a sip.
Chrysanthemum and fish paste porridge is made by boiling the fish fillets in porridge water until cooked through, then tearing up the washed chrysanthemum petals and adding them to the porridge.
The porridge is very thick. During the steaming process, the blooming rice grains absorb the freshness of the fish, becoming fresh, mellow, smooth and full of fragrance.
The fragrance of chrysanthemum not only highlights the deliciousness of the fish, but also suppresses its original fishy smell.
The elegant floral scent and the delicious fish meat combine well together and blend into your mouth along with the fragrant and smooth porridge.
After taking the first sip, you will immediately want to take the second sip.
The porridge has a thick texture, a smooth taste, and a fresh but not fishy taste.
It was so delicious.
The Queen Mother drank the fish porridge mouthful by mouthful and felt warm in her stomach.
Very comfortable.
