Chapter 208: Sakyamuni Barbecue

The cold palace.

The eldest prince came to the cold palace with a food box to find Wu Daying.

The cold palace was not only deserted, but also really cold. After the eldest prince walked in, he shivered a few times.

In the side palace courtyard, the flowers and trees were withered, and the ground was full of dead branches and leaves. No one cleaned it, but there were two young palace maids beside them.

However, the palace maids were chatting and turned a blind eye to the work in front of them.

The eldest prince scolded: "Why are you so happy?!"

The two palace maids were stunned, turned their heads to see the eldest prince, and turned around to salute.

The eldest prince: "Where is the queen?"

The two maids looked at each other, and one of them replied: "Your Highness, there is no queen here." She

was banished to the cold palace and demoted to a promise. What 's

the point of calling her the queen? ! The two maids were very casual with the eldest prince.

This is how the palace is. Everyone rushes to serve the famous master, and the neglected master lives worse than a servant.

The eldest prince suppressed his anger: "What is Wu Danying doing? As a servant, how can you run around instead of serving your master?!"

The maid: "Your Highness, I have to take care of several masters."

There were few palace maids serving in the cold palace, so there was no such thing as personal service. Moreover, the master of the cold palace has no money to bribe, and no one knows if he is wronged. Even if they know, no one cares. The palace maids in the cold palace are not willing to serve wholeheartedly.

These servants are very smart. They have known that the eldest prince will leave Beijing soon, and they don’t take Wu Dying seriously at all.

Unless the eldest prince gives some reward money.

The eldest prince endured it and poured out a handful of silver melon seeds from his personal sachet. After thinking about it, he took back half, and then took back half again. In the end, there were only a few left.

The eldest prince waved his hand, threw the silver melon seeds on the ground, and said proudly: "Go, add some of the best silver frost charcoal to Wu Dying."

The two palace maids looked at each other, hesitated for a long time before picking up the silver melon seeds on the ground and walked away quickly.

After leaving the side hall, one of them said, "This is just a small amount to give to a beggar! And the best silver frost charcoal, even charcoal ash is not available."

Another one: "Who cares? It's better to have something than nothing. We're not going back today."

Wu Danying knew that the eldest prince was coming, and was a little at a loss. He put down the work in his hands and went out to greet him: "Your Highness the Prince, why are you here in such a cold day? Wait a minute, I'll boil water and make tea for you."

The eldest prince: "Mother, today is your birthday."

Wu Danying said with panic on his face: "Your Highness the Prince, I have been demoted to Danying, you can't call me that."

The eldest prince turned around and closed the door: "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here."

The door had been in disrepair for many years, and the bearings were not good. It took a lot of effort to close it.

Seeing Wu Danying holding a kettle, the eldest prince said angrily: "How can you boil water yourself?"

Wu Danying looked like he had aged a few years: "I'm used to it. It's nothing. Just sit down and the water will be boiled soon."

Before being rebuked, he could still beg Concubine Xian for help, but she died suddenly.

Wu Danying had offended many people by relying on Concubine Xian. Now he has fallen to this point, which is partly his own fault.

The eldest prince placed the food box on the table and opened the lid: "Don't be busy yet. These are the snacks my son brought you. Please try them."

"Actually, it's fine here. It's quiet. You know the concubine likes a quiet place." Wu promised to twist a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth: "The pastries Ji'er brought are so sweet."

The eldest prince said: "Concubine, if you like it, my son will give you endless pastries to eat in the future."

Wu promised to have his eyes lit up: "The emperor allows the concubine to leave the capital with Ji'er?"

The eldest prince shook his head with a complicated expression.

"Ji'er, you can spend some money to bribe Eunuch Cao to say a nice word in front of the emperor." Wu agreed and raised her hands to stroke the bracelet, only to find that her hands were empty. She had already given away the valuable things on her body.

The eldest prince held Wu Danying's hand and said, "Mother, Ji'er will definitely find another way to get you out."

You can't just agree to spend money.

After coming out of the cold palace, the eldest prince returned to the prince's residence.

Emperor Deyuan had few children, so the eldest prince's room was still there, but no one cleaned it, and it was covered with dust.

The eldest prince ordered the palace servants to clean the room. The eighth prince who was passing by asked, "Brother, why are you back?"

The eldest prince looked sullen and said, "Today is Wu Danying's birthday. We talked for a long time and missed the time. I can only stay overnight in the prince's residence."

The eldest prince will leave Beijing in May this year. It is understandable that he talked for a long time on his mother's birthday, which shows that the eldest prince is very filial.

After closing the door, the eldest prince lay on the bed. When it was late at night, he got up secretly, changed into night clothes, put on a black mask, and waited quietly.

Wenyuan Pavilion, Jian Ruonan finished knitting a dragonkini, it was still early.

Jian Ruonan slept for the whole afternoon and was not sleepy now. She was bored waiting, Su·Blue Egg·First Assistant suggested: "How about we discuss the matter?"

Jian Ruonan: ! !

Discuss the matter? ?

She came to catch the eldest prince, not to work overtime.

The Minister of War also did not want to discuss matters. The Minister of War said, "Let's listen to Lord Jian's opinion, in case the important matters are delayed?"

Jian Ruonan's big dark eyes turned, and she touched her belly, "I wonder if you have ever eaten a kind of food called barbecue?"

The ministers said, "No."

Jian Ruonan: "What about skewers?"

The ministers said, "No."

Emperor Deyuan was also interested, "Lord Jian, can you describe it in detail?"

"Yes."

Jian Ruonan briefly described what barbecue was. The six ministers and Emperor Deyuan stared at her purse, thinking that she was going to take barbecue out of her purse.

Who knew that she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will dictate a list of ingredients and ask the kitchen to bring it over. I will personally demonstrate to Your Majesty what barbecue and skewers are."

Xuanwu System: [Miss Fifth just made a dragon kini, she must be tired, it's time to eat something to replenish her body.]

Tan Tai Mo: [......]

Tan Tai Mo took the initiative to say: "Lord Jian said, let me write it."

The list was written and sent to the kitchen, and the ingredients and grill were delivered soon.

The kitchen always has fresh ingredients. Hearing that the emperor wanted it, the ingredients sent were very fresh - ribs on bamboo sticks, venison, pork belly, potatoes, corn kernels, and green vegetables and rolls that are very precious in this season.

The barbecue must be outdoors. The fourth prince knew that Jian Ruonan was afraid of the cold, so he asked someone to build a windproof shed at the entrance of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Jian Ruonan, holding a fan in her hand, took the six ministers, a prince, and the current emperor to the door of Wenyuan Pavilion to do a barbecue.

The Minister of War looked at it for a while and said, "Isn't this roasted meat?"

"No, no." Jian Ruonan took out the secret seasoning from her purse.

Daxia did not have chili peppers and cumin. They were not introduced from the Western Regions until the end of Daxia. Ordinary roasted meat only had salt and some mixed spices. Jian Ruonan was not used to it.

Not to mention that Jian Ruonan also had chicken essence.

The six ministers watched her take out a row of bottles and jars from her purse with their eyes wide open, and their pupils were shocked.

!

! Are these from Sakyamuni? !

Jian Ruonan smiled mysteriously, you guys guess!

She held the seasoning bottle in her hand and made a gesture of sprinkling salt.

Barbecue is something that you should do in person!

The six ministers didn't want to eat it originally, but they were afraid of missing out on the good things of Sakyamuni. In addition, the pork belly was fat and lean, and it was roasted until it was greasy and fragrant, which made everyone's mouths water.

After the pork belly was roasted, Jian Ruonan gave everyone present a skewer: "Put the skewer on the cake, roll it like this, dip it in my secret seasoning, and you can eat it." Jian Ruonan

couldn't help drooling when she spoke, and she quickly started eating.

Emperor Deyuan ate a skewer and was amazed by it.

But he is the emperor, he can't act like an inexperienced person: "It tastes good, the only drawback is that the smoke is too much."

Jian Ruonan: "Your Majesty, if you think the smoke is too much, you can wear your longkini, the longkini will block the smoke."

Emperor Deyuan: "..."
