"Okay, you can try it first when the time comes. It should taste good." Zhao Qingrui chuckled. Li Si and Feng Quji were also veterans in the court. She couldn't possibly cheat them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
They had no apprehension in their hearts, as they trusted His Majesty, and he also believed that this thing was edible.
Many miraculous things have happened to Your Majesty, and there is nothing unacceptable about this ostrich egg.
These blacks were taken away and locked up, and temporarily taken over by the Honglu Temple.
Zhao Qingrui had these ostrich eggs taken directly to the imperial kitchen, and had them cooked in various ways according to her requirements.
Lunch time seemed to come particularly slowly as there were a lot of miscellaneous matters at court. Fortunately, the general direction had already been decided and the matters submitted were not very important.
Many people are still curious about the ostrich eggs that have been praised by His Majesty.
Not all the people in the court were of aristocratic origin. Many of them had lived a hard life since childhood. They valued anything edible.
At noon, Zhao Qingrui asked someone to put away the government affairs so that these bad things would not affect his mood for eating.
There are more than twenty ostrich eggs in a basket, and the eggs are big enough for everyone to get one.
It was just a simple steamed egg with some seasonings. It smelled quite fragrant when it was served.
"Your Majesty, let me try it first." Feng Quji stood up and said seriously.
"Please come in, Mr. Feng." Zhao Qingrui stretched out her hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Feng Quji expressed his gratitude, he picked up the porcelain bowl and started eating in small bites. The taste was unexpectedly good. He didn't know where those black people came from. After finding out, he would send people to these places to check and bring some back.
Li Si also took a bite and found that there was no strange taste. It was a little fishy than ordinary eggs. After adding seasoning, the fishy smell was much less noticeable.
Such big bird eggs, I wonder if we can catch some birds that can lay them and raise them in Daqin. Then there will be more food on the tables of the people of Daqin in the future.
"My two dear ministers, how do these bird eggs taste?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile in his eyes, and glanced at the officials below. Many of them saw that Li Si and Feng Quji had eaten them and there was no problem now, and their faces looked a little ashamed.
"Your Majesty, these bird eggs are fresh and tender and taste good." Feng Quji said seriously.
"It's really good. Of course, what's even better is that the royal chef's cooking skills are very good." Li Si said with a smile.
He had taken a look at it before and found that the raw ostrich eggs tasted too fishy. He didn't expect that after cooking them, they tasted quite good.
As the banquet began, the officials gradually relaxed. Since they could eat, they just ate.
Zhao Qingrui also took a bite. The taste was just so-so, not as good as eggs. She didn't like the taste very much.
Fortunately, there are many other delicious foods besides ostrich eggs.
The food prepared in the imperial kitchen is much more delicious than that outside, so the officials have no objection to staying to work overtime.
After the meal, many people's minds were in turmoil. The world outside is huge and full of good things. This is the common understanding of everyone.
Some families with some money are thinking about sending people out to sea to see if they can bring back something good.
Moreover, even if you can't find anything good, you can still make a lot of money by taking some of the existing goods of Daqin out.
After lunch, Zhao Qingrui returned to Xianyang Palace to rest.
Xiaobai has grown a lot in the past year or so. The two tigers are very tall, and now even the palace maids and eunuchs who take care of them dare not get close to them easily.
Zhao Qingrui touched the somewhat restless Xiaobai, who seemed to want to go out and play.
They are ferocious beasts by nature, and she has been confining them in this palace, which is simply stifling their nature.
Or, when you have free time, take them out to play?
But where could they go to play? Given their size, the small hillside wasn't big enough for them to roam freely.
Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on the map. How about sending these two big cats to Lingnan or Shu? These places are full of mountains, they will definitely like it.
While Zhao Qingrui was looking at the map, a huge creature flapped its wings and flew in from outside the hall.
Fortunately, the Xianyang Palace is big enough, otherwise Xiaobai would not be able to fly in this palace.
"It's hot, go away." She dug Xiaobai away with disgust. If it were winter, she would be happy to hold it and play with it.
"Ahh." Xiaobai rubbed Zhao Qingrui aggrievedly.
The owner is always busy and has no time to play with them. They feel so wronged.
"Stop making trouble. I was thinking of letting you go play in the wild." Zhao Qingrui looked at its aggrieved look and softened her voice.
Xiaobai tilted his head and said, "Let's go and play. Great! We have wanted to go there for a long time. We have already played around in all the palaces in Xianyang and have had enough of them."
"How about I ask someone to take you to Lingnan for a trip?" Zhao Qingrui said gently as he touched its soft fur.
It didn't know where Lingnan was, but if it could go there to have fun, that would certainly be a good thing, so without thinking, it nodded and agreed.
He smiled and rubbed its head. Although Xiaobai is not an adult yet, Zhao Qingrui has been very generous in feeding it in the past few years, and the baby has not shown any signs of malnutrition.
It’s okay to go out and play, and there’s no need to worry about it not keeping up with the growth.
Xiaobai is very powerful and is connected to her by a contract, so she is not afraid of anything happening to it.
But who should deliver them? This matter still needs to be carefully considered.
The next day, after the court meeting, when Zhao Qingrui had not yet decided where to send Xiaobai and the others to play, Ziying came to the palace for something.
