, eat the soup and leave, leaving the rest of the banquet to the young people.
But when the bowls of ketchup noodles came, I always felt that many people paused.
Even if the ten bowls of noodles just brought over did not have such a prominent aroma, the three hundred Jinshi scholars and a dozen or so great scholars at the banquet had chosen a total of more than one hundred and fifty bowls of ketchup noodles, so the aroma would have spread immediately.
After eating and drinking, if you have such a delicious meal, who wouldn’t look at it a few more times?
When the tomato noodles entered my mouth, the refreshing sour and slightly sweet taste suppressed the smell of alcohol from the previous meal, and my head seemed to become much refreshed.
The noodles inside are soft and can be eaten cleanly without any effort. The soup is also thick, a bit like noodle soup, which is very depressing.
For a while, everyone on the field was concentrating on eating noodle soup.
To be precise, everyone who ordered noodles with ketchup was eating noodles in soup.
The rest of the people watched eagerly, wondering how they could eat so deliciously? It smelled good too.
If I had known earlier, I would have chosen noodle soup. What a mistake!
Fortunately, people familiar with the banquet said that in the evening, the food would be available for free and there would be a chance to eat it, which made people reluctantly eat the noodles in their hands.
Although this noodle is delicious, it’s inferior to those people’s noodles.
Not to mention the newly minted scholars, even the number one scholar ate noodles with tomato sauce. He was so amazed after just one bite that he even composed a poem.
After finishing the poem, I felt a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the great scholars also agreed and said that the top scholar was very talented in writing and was good at writing poems.
Because they think it’s delicious too!
These great scholars and officials are not young, and the youngest is already in his forties. They are not that enthusiastic about these banquets.
It's really not easy to eat something hot and comfortable at a banquet.
But the noodle soup I just had was really delicious. Many people with poor appetite or bad teeth think that this noodle soup is really suitable for them.
And it tastes better and better the more you eat it, the soup, the eggs, and the noodles.
Unfortunately, it was gone after just a few bites.
There was no such thing as returning the bowls at the lunch banquet. Who made this and how can they eat it in the future?
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but of course they didn't say it out loud. However, they asked the housekeeper to ask if the palace had made any new food. They knew that this thing was red fruit, but how could the red fruit be made so delicious?
These people originally wanted to ask all their followers to ask secretly.
But when the followers gathered in front of the kitchen's large white table, what was there to say? Everyone knew each other.
Su Wan had just finished cooking the last piece of noodles and was about to go back to rest when she was suddenly stopped by so many followers of dignitaries. She was immediately startled.
It was even funnier after we explained our purpose.
If you want to eat so well, just go to the kitchen and find the chef.
This is why the newly-appointed scholars were unable to leave their seats and were too embarrassed to ask others to question them.
Otherwise, there would be more than just people asking this question.
But even though he couldn't come over to ask, his expression at the banquet was out of control.
After the top scholar wrote a poem about ketchup noodles, he was praised by one of the great scholars. This immediately aroused the poetic inspiration of the rest of the people.
Everyone composes poems in different ways, hoping that one of their poems will be praised.
One of the scholars who did not order noodles with ketchup even wrote a poem, which roughly means, "Others have eaten it, but I didn't. Others are praising it, but I don't know what to praise it for. It's such a pity!"
This is also a joke.
The recorder and painter nearby drew this interesting scene, which would be compiled into a book in the future. It would be sold among the people and also kept in the palace as a record.
Su Wan could never have imagined that tomato noodles would appear in later classics in this way.
Wait for future generations to open the book and take a look.
Wow! We already made such delicious ketchup noodles so long ago? Amazing!
Su Wan has now turned the fire back on, preparing to boil some ketchup and then fry some eggs in it as a topping for the ketchup noodles. The scholars can take the toppings and cook them at home.
Seeing Su Wan being so sensible, the officials from the Guanglu Temple who rushed over to give instructions didn't have time to say anything.
Su Wan smiled and said, "The Guanglu Temple and the Shangshi Department both want everyone to eat and drink well, and it is our responsibility to do so. This tomato sauce noodles is delicious, and the tomato sauce made by the Dessert Department is also a credit, this thing can not be missing."
Yes, not only can she cook and eat, she can also talk and save face for the two departments.
No wonder the officials in the Imperial Cuisine Bureau and the Ministry of Rites all like her so much!
That’s for sure!
Although she was assigned to the Fourth Department and Sixth Bureau, she was still a member of the Imperial Food Department after all, so she would definitely not embarrass herself!
Needless to say, what level of Confucian scholars can come? If they are not the top scholars of Tianxiang Country, they cannot sit in the first seat, let alone support the Qionglin Banquet.
Only great scholars with real talent and profound knowledge can chat and laugh here.
What's wrong with getting them to praise you a little more and making a few more servings of ketchup topping?
However, when Su Wan, who was making tomato sauce, heard that the scholars were competing to write poems at the banquet, she was still surprised.
What?
Are you starting to write poems about noodles with ketchup?
Don't be so exaggerated!
The dessert nanny who was deliberately mentioned by Su Wan looked at her with amusement and said, "Once the Qionglin Banquet and the Martial Arts Banquet are over, your ketchup noodles will probably be popular all over Kyoto."
Oh, right, they were writing poems at the Qionglin Banquet, and what about the Huiwu Banquet? Just now they said that they didn't eat much, they were all drinking, and the people from the Ministry of War followed them to drink.
I almost forgot about that place.
As for being popular in Kyoto?
Su Wan coughed lightly. She had experienced this situation before!
No surprise!
Just when Su Wan was trying to act modest, she heard someone coming from the other side, obviously also looking for Su Wan.
The scholars of the liberal arts are too embarrassed to come here, but they are so shameless! They are thick-skinned and eat as much as they can!
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I can smell the aroma of noodles with ketchup!"
"Quick, give us a pot! We must reward you handsomely!"
"Two pots! I want one too!"
Wait, you military scholars, do you eat by the basin?
The author has something to say:
It’s a big chapter, so there won’t be a second update. Love you guys!
