Chapter 69 Let Your Majesty Have a Taste
In the imperial study, Emperor Jingning closed the memorial and gently rubbed his brows.
Li Fu, who was waiting on the side, offered a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Emperor Jingning took the teacup and took a few sips.
He put down the teacup and suddenly asked, "Is today the opening day of Yipinlou?"
Li Fu did not expect Emperor Jingning to ask this question, "Your Majesty, Yipinlou is indeed open today."
He didn't show it on his face, but he was slightly surprised in his heart.
The king, who is so busy with state affairs, actually remembers the opening day of a restaurant.
Emperor Jingning frowned slightly and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
When Li Fu saw this, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
It's time for lunch now. Does Your Majesty want to go out of the palace to have lunch?
At this moment, the eunuch who was guarding outside suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Aunt Fang from the Queen Mother's side came and said that Your Majesty is invited to have dinner in the Queen Mother's palace."
Emperor Jingning was stunned. Why did his mother invite him to have dinner at this time?
…
"I know that Yipin Restaurant is opening today, so I specially asked someone to buy all these signs. They have all the ones that Zheng made last time, and there are also many new ones. I also asked someone to ask the emperor to come and taste them."
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jingning with a smile, as if saying, "I knew you were greedy and couldn't go out, so I asked someone to buy it for you to eat together."
Emperor Jingning: ...
"Thank you, mother."
During lunch time, Yipinlou not only serves afternoon tea but also some other food.
The people sent by the Queen Mother bought back several signboards and the food recommended by Shen Huazheng, and filled the table with them.
The emperor's meals were different from those of ordinary people, and the eunuchs had to test them for poison first.
The air is filled with the aroma of food, which makes people salivate.
Emperor Jingning looked at the dazzling array of food on the table, then looked at Li Fu who was testing for poison. For the first time, he felt that Li Fu was not working efficiently and slowly.
Finally, after the poison test was completed, the Queen Mother picked up the chopsticks and said, "Come on, the Emperor must be hungry, try it."
Li Fu's movements were so slow that she was really greedy!
Emperor Jingning nodded and was about to say something when the empress dowager pointed to a plate on the table. The food on it was round in shape and looked like fried pasta such as fried cakes.
"Oh, by the way, this sugar cake, Miss Zheng said we should eat it while it's hot."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother quickly picked up a sugar candy with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
Emperor Jingning: ...
He originally wanted to eat the red date cake first, but after thinking about it, he reached out his chopsticks to the plate of sugar candies.
The sugar cake is golden in color, with a layer of snow-white sugar evenly coated on the surface. It doesn't look like anything special.
Emperor Jingning brought the sugar candy to his mouth and took a light bite.
Crisp, loose, fragrant, soft...all kinds of textures assault the taste buds.
The sugar cake is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and has a rich egg flavor.
The soft and crispy dough blends with white sugar in the mouth to create a soft and sweet taste, with a rich egg aroma.
Fragrant, sweet and delicious!
The Queen Mother also ate the sugar candy happily. No wonder Zheng girl specifically emphasized that it should be eaten while hot.
Because the heat preservation work is done well, the sugar cake is still slightly hot. Take a bite, and the hot sweet and eggy aroma bursts out instantly on the tip of your tongue. It is soft and delicious.
After swallowing the sugar candy in your mouth, you can still feel the fragrance and sweetness in your mouth, which makes you feel happy.
