As for Ye Jinrong, after she learned the recipe for fruit shaved ice, she couldn't sit still.
Someone was sent to bribe the eunuch who was responsible for serving meals to the emperor, and asked him to help deliver shaved ice to the emperor.
The eunuch serving the meal looked at the novel thing, tested it with a silver needle to confirm that it was non-toxic, and then tasted it. It was indeed sweet, delicious, cool and transparent.
It happened that the emperor had just entered the summer and was worried about state affairs and the hot weather. He was very restless and irritable. He drank several bowls of iced sour plum soup every day, but still felt that it did not relieve the heat. His temper was so bad that they had to serve him carefully and cautiously.
Now with this fruit shaved ice, it should be able to relieve the emperor's irritable mood. This way, I don't have to worry about my life being in danger at any time.
He reached out to take the purse handed to him and asked the person to take a message back to Ye Jinrong, asking her to prepare the fruit shaved ice and he would send someone to pick it up at dinner time.
When Ye Jinrong heard the news from the people below, she was happy. What she wanted to do was about to be accomplished, so she quickly sent people down to prepare.
Because shaved ice melts easily and is difficult to make in advance, I can only prepare the necessary things first, and then make it when the eunuch comes to get the shaved ice. I also make an extra bowl as a backup.
Ye Jinrong had already ordered people to lay a thick layer of cotton cloth in the food box to be used for shaved ice, and put a lot of ice cubes in it. As soon as the fruit shaved ice was ready, it was put in immediately and covered with a lid also sewn with cotton cloth. This way, it could be ensured that it would not melt when it was sent to the emperor. This was the method taught to her by Ye Jinyun.
The young eunuch picked up the food box and hurried to the emperor's presence. He had received an order that the contents of the food box must be tasted perfectly by the emperor.
He walked all the way to Chengqian Palace without stopping, handed the food box in his hand to the eunuch who served the food. The eunuch then took the food box to the side hall where the emperor had his meals.
At this time, the emperor had already sent for the meal.
Chen Fuquan was serving him and washing his hands. The emperor had been in a bad mood recently, so Chen Fuquan was serving him carefully.
After washing his hands, Chen Fuquan waited for the emperor to sit down at the dining table, and the palace servants had also prepared dinner.
Mo Qiyuan sat on the chair, looking at the table full of dishes in front of him, without any appetite at all.
Even though the palace maids kept fanning him and there was a large tank full of ice in the hall, he still couldn't help feeling irritated.
He pointed at a dish at random, and immediately a young eunuch took out a prepared silver needle and came forward to test the dish. After confirming that it was non-toxic, another eunuch standing next to him, who was responsible for serving him the dish, put the dish into his bowl.
Mo Qiyuan picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted like chewing wax. It wasn't that the food was bad, but the weather was too hot and he couldn't eat. He put down his chopsticks and said angrily:
"Is this the level of the chefs in the imperial kitchen? They serve me these dishes every day and can't even make anything to cool down the body and stimulate the appetite. What the hell are they doing?"
All the palace servants knelt down quickly, and Chen Fuquan also spoke quickly:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. These are updated dishes. In the imperial kitchen, I urge them to change and develop new dishes every day. Please calm down. For the sake of your health, please at least have a few bites. I will ask them to send you another bowl of sour plum soup later."
"snort".
Mo Qiyuan stopped talking, sat there with a sullen face, and did not pick up his chopsticks. Chen Fuquan quickly asked the palace servant who was fanning the room to stand up, use more force, and fan faster.
When the eunuch serving the meal walked to the door of the side hall with the food box, he heard the emperor's angry voice. His heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward to whisper a few words into Chen Fuquan's ear.
When Chen Fuquan heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, we have found what you want. This little forest has brought you something cool and refreshing to beat the summer heat. Would you like to try it?"
Mo Qiyuan glanced at him and nodded impatiently. He wanted to see what the good stuff was.
Xiao Linzi, the eunuch who served the food, quickly placed the food box in his hand on the table beside him, and then opened the lid. As soon as he opened the lid, a hint of icy frost came out from inside, and then he reached in and took out a bowl of fruit shaved ice.
Mo Qiyuan looked at this new and strange thing that he had never seen before, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing quite some interest.
He gave Chen Fuquan a look, and Chen Fuquan immediately understood. He stepped forward to take the fruit shaved ice. Suddenly, the sweet taste of watermelon with a hint of coolness penetrated his nostrils. Chen Fuquan was happy again, thinking that the emperor had something to cool down.
After inserting a silver needle to test whether it was poisonous, he quickly presented it to the emperor because the smoothie had already begun to melt.
Mo Qiyuan smelled the new thing on the table, which brought a hint of sweet coolness. He couldn't help but pick up the silver spoon on the table, scooped a spoonful and put it directly into his mouth.
Hmm~ Not bad...
It was the most cooling thing he had eaten in recent times. The watermelon-flavored smoothie mixed with sweet juice slid from his mouth into his stomach, and he felt a sense of coolness all over his body.
I scooped up another spoonful of lychee smoothie and put it into my mouth. I felt that the lychee pulp enriched the taste of the smoothie, making me feel like I was in a summer orchard.
One spoonful after another, a bowl of fruit shaved ice was soon finished. Mo Qiyuan put down the spoon and exhaled comfortably, with a hint of coolness in his breath.
"Comfortable and enjoyable."
When Xiao Linzi heard this, he quickly expressed his gratitude with a happy face.
Mo Qiyuan looked at the covered food box, which was filled with smoothie but without a trace of moisture on it. He waved to Xiao Linzi to bring the food box over for him to see.
Xiao Linzi respectfully presented the food box to him. Chen Fuquan stepped forward and opened the lid of the food box. A wisp of cool air containing fruit came out from it.
