It’s simple, it’s the Guandi Temple.
Guandi Temple?
After he finished saying this, the first person to be stunned was General Xu of the Military Division. He vaguely knew that the Third Prince knew Su Wan, but he didn't know that they had such a good relationship.
Wait, so those chicken legs and duck legs were all given to the Third Prince?
This isn't a good relationship anymore, is it?
But it's very good.
However, the situation is difficult to explain, so I have to digress.
There are a lot of smart people present. If you say a few more words, you might be discovered to be abnormal.
General Xu looked at Su Wan again.
Although the Third Prince doesn't talk much, those he likes and has a good relationship with are not ordinary people.
But think about it, although Su Wan is young, she is very good at doing things and speaking.
She is not comparable to an ordinary palace maid.
General Xu was about to speak when Commander Qi unexpectedly said, "Pray to Lord Guandi. That's right. We should worship the Martial Saint."
But after saying this, I met General Xu's eyes.
Oh no, both of them saw something in each other's eyes.
Really?
The two of them actually recognized each other's identities because of the same pot of fish, and they were both the Third Prince's men.
There are two people serving the Third Prince in the small West Outer Palace, so what about in the Imperial Palace? In the front courtyard?
Commander Qi and General Xu no longer dared to guess, fearing that the Third Prince's power was even greater than they imagined.
But this is naturally a good thing for them.
The two smiled at each other, and there was a sense of mutual sympathy in each other's eyes.
Look at us, we have a keen eye for talent.
When the Saint returns from the palace, not only will there be changes in the Imperial Food Department, but people in the front court will also start talking about the Third Prince's attendance at government affairs. It will be a lively scene then.
These forces will gradually come into contact with each other.
It's only half a month early now, so it doesn't matter. I just need to talk to the Third Prince about it.
Commander Qi thought more.
Today I discovered something unusual while looking at a pot of fish, but what about tomorrow?
But think about it, it's okay. After all, Su Wan's case was just an accident, and she used the excuse of Lord Guandi and didn't mention anyone.
There are probably no more than five people who know that the Third Prince often goes to the Guandi Temple. The Third Prince's whereabouts have been uncertain recently, and even they sometimes can't figure out his details.
There were no more than five people, and they all had to eat in the small kitchen in the west dining room. The probability of this happening was too small, and today couldn't be a coincidence.
Besides, after one or two months, none of this will matter.
Since we have to fight our way out in the front, everything is a small matter now.
There are still many things to go through in the future.
Commander Qi and General Xu knew the truth, but they didn't care who was on their side when they had the meal.
What? Our own people?
That's even stronger!
Su Wan watched Wei Jun and Zhuo Hui bring the food over and then get some sparkling water. He must be very happy eating grilled fish with sparkling water.
There are a total of twelve people at the table now, except Su Wan and Yu Shu.
The rest were three from the Imperial Household Department, two from the Shangbao Department, one from the Baochao Department, two from the Old Treasury Department, plus Commander Qi of the Lingtai Gate and General Xu of the Bingzhang Department.
The latter two did not notice that when they looked at each other, the chief steward of the Baochao Division lowered his head silently. He was the one who understood the situation at the table best.
Among these twelve people, the people from the western kitchen are not mentioned.
Of the remaining ten, three are related to the Third Prince! The old supervisor is an old acquaintance, so we can keep in touch in the future.
I can only say that the Third Prince's plan is more profound than you can imagine.
There is no need to say this, it is better to eat well.
Unexpectedly, just as I was about to start eating, a person who was not familiar but not surprising walked in from outside.
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites looked at them in shock: "I thought we all knew each other, but you were having a delicious meal and you didn't even invite me along!"
He looked at Su Wan with some resentment and said, "We are all from the Ministry of Rites!"
During the time in the West Kitchen, the doctor in the Ministry of Rites knew Su Wan's abilities best, and knew that she would have a bright future. However, he was so friendly only because Su Wan's cooking was so delicious!
So when he heard that Su Wan was in the small kitchen, he said he would come over and eat for free. After all, you will get used to it after doing it many times.
Su Wan said helplessly: "You are from Fujian, you can't eat spicy food, but the food I made today is particularly spicy."
As she spoke, Su Wan pointed to the two pots of grilled fish on the table.
Oh my god, what is this? It's all red, as if it would be a crime not to put chili in it! How could they put so much chili in it?
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated and looks exaggerated, the red color is more of the flavor of bean paste.
But think about the Sichuan pepper, Sichuan pepper and red pepper.
When frying the ingredients, Yu Shu even sneezed.
People in Fujian probably can't eat spicy food, right? So she didn't think of calling the doctor from the Ministry of Rites to come over, because after all, he wouldn't be able to eat it.
After hearing this explanation, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites felt that it was correct.
The locals here really don't like spicy food, which is completely different from the people in Shu and Hunan. I could smell the strong aroma of chili peppers as soon as I entered the door.
Now that I have seen it, I know even more how spicy this dish is. I am torn as to whether to eat it or not.
Cui Hucheng, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, looked at the red grilled fish on the table and didn't know whether he should eat it.
If you eat it, it looks spicy. If you don’t eat it, you’ll feel like you’ve missed out on a delicious dish!
This was done by Su Wan!
Cui Hucheng gritted his teeth and said, "Eat! What can't I eat?"
Anyway, it tastes really good. For delicious food, what does it matter if it's a little spicy?
Su Wan watched him sit down and poured herself a bowl of water. She could only rinse the food while eating!
How can there be such people who still want to eat it even though they know it is so spicy?
The supervisors couldn't help laughing. Come on, those who can't eat spicy food are about to start eating. Those who can eat spicy food will definitely have to start quickly too.
Wei Jun was still advising his master that he had a bad stomach and should not eat too much.
Who knew that the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department said directly: "It has been much better in recent months. He can open his mouth after eating spicy food."
Yes, everyone has many reasons!
No matter what excuse you make, just eat more.
The reason is naturally that the grilled fish is so delicious!
Even those who cannot eat spicy food feel that they cannot miss such delicious food, otherwise they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
This is not a joke, but what I really think.
Cui Hucheng, who can't eat spicy food, picked up a piece with chopsticks. The carp was grilled first and then cooked. The skin was soaked in soup, and the inside was tender and smooth. The white and tender fish meat could be eaten directly, but he made up his mind and followed Su Wan's example and dipped it in the soup before eating!
The soup is made from the ingredients fried by Su Wan. It tastes spicy, fresh and fragrant with a strong garlic flavor.
It smells fragrant as soon as you take a bite, with the flavor of bean paste and chili pepper.
What follows is numbness. The tenderness of the fish meat makes the food go into the stomach, and then you can feel the numbness in your mouth.
If you say this is the ultimate taste, that is not enough. If you eat it wrapped in fish skin, the taste will be even more extraordinary.
The fish skin is charred and slightly golden.
Because it is soaked in the soup, it has a more spicy taste. When you put it in your mouth, the spicy taste goes straight to your head, which makes you feel refreshed.
That is to say, the grilled fish was very hot and had many carp bones, and people could not eat it that fast. Even so, only half of the two carps weighing more than three pounds were left.
Even so, everyone's speed in picking up food remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Su Wan poured in the bone soup that she had prepared long ago, then increased the temperature of the charcoal fire, allowing the pot to boil quickly. The base ingredients inside also began to boil, and then she added the dishes that everyone liked to eat.
Dishes of various flavors are cooked in such a delicious sauce, and with the unique aroma of fish, anything with this soup base is delicious!
This grilled fish is not hotpot, but it is better than hotpot!
Anyway, it tastes good!
But the doctor from the Ministry of Rites who came from Fujian was in a miserable state. His mouth was red and slightly swollen from eating, but he kept eating with his chopsticks.
Anyone who stops eating when the food is this delicious is a fool!
He doesn't stop!
Another person who was also hurt by the spiciness was Yan Pei from the Armament Bureau. He was originally on official business when his men brought a pot from the Guandi Temple, which surprised him a little.
I paused subconsciously when I saw the red inside.
But you still have to eat what you need.
Who would have thought it would be so spicy.
Yan Pei was drinking water and eating grilled fish, and couldn't help but wonder, how could Su Wan eat such spicy food?
On the other side, Yu Shu looked at the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who was bitten by the spicy food, the chief steward of the Treasury Department, and Zhuo Hui of the Imperial Household Department, and couldn't help saying, "I heard a guest say that people who can't eat spicy food are all henpecked."
Others couldn't help but laugh out loud. If you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it!
It would be great if we could leave the delicious food for them!
Su Wan also laughed.
She has also heard this saying: men who can't eat spicy food are afraid of their wives!
In other words, Yan Pei didn't hear it, otherwise he would have subconsciously looked at Su Wan.
