Chapter 318 Meeting Friends by Food

Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, Yan Huo suddenly realized that Tang Zhi was a foodie. If he found someone he didn't like to eat, the couple would soon become strangers. After all, they mean marriage and have no emotional foundation. If they don't have a common hobby, they would be respectful to each other as ice as ice when they get married.

"Crown Princess, I have a suggestion." Yan Huo said.

"What proposal? You said." The Crown Princess smiled.

"Food is the most important thing for people. Life is that there is food. Only when there is food can there be a continuation. It can be seen that eating is very important. If you don’t eat for a day, you will be hungry and you will be dead. So I want all ladies to make friends with food." Yan Huo said with a smile.

Make friends through food!

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Yan Ying, the wife of Duke Cheng Guo, pursed her lips and smiled. The twelve sisters liked to be naughty. They made friends with poetry, so she made friends with food.

The British Prince's wife whispered: "Are you afraid that others don't know that you are delicious?"

"I'm all for Prince Gong. I'm choosing a princess for Prince Gong. I have to choose someone who suits him." Yan Huo argued.

"It's a good suggestion." The Crown Princess nodded. Her brother-in-law likes to eat, and she travels all over the country to eat. "Let's just talk freely."

Seeing that the Crown Princess agreed, the British Prince's wife thought it was discussed by Yan Hu and the Crown Princess, so she didn't say much.

Although there is a requirement for washing hands to make soup for you, these noble girls do not really cook, let alone studying cooking skills. For a moment, the palace was silent; the princess's eyes swept over the noble girls and made an unhappy "hmm".

Yan Huo smiled, "Crown Princess, you have to let them think about it and make good words to say it."

The Crown Princess smiled, "I'm so anxious, so wait for a stick of incense."

Those ladies who wanted to marry their daughter into the royal family saw this, and their eyes became more and more earnest.

After a stick of incense, the first person to speak was Zeng Yingyu, "Yingyu is not talented, I am willing to throw away bricks and attract jade."

The Crown Princess smiled and nodded.

"Yingyu thought that fish soup rice is often eaten, and the five flavors are mixed with all kinds of flavors. Xinjin leeks are not in the world, and the color is as bright as goose yellow for more than three feet. The meat in the East Gate is even more extraordinary, and it is not as fat as the beard and sheep crispy." Zeng Yingyu said with a smile.

Yan Hu's eyes were slightly dark. Although he could understand Zeng Yingyu's approach, Zeng Yingyu's trick made her feel a little displeased. The Crown Princess smiled, "What does Miss Zeng like to eat?"

"Yingyu likes to eat light side dishes." Zeng Yingyu knew that the Crown Princess believed in Buddhism and would eat vegetarian food for several days every month to please her.

The Crown Princess glanced at Yan Huo, and saw her eyes drooping, she knew it in her heart, and smiled faintly, "Miss Zeng, please sit down."

Zeng Yingyu bent her knees and sat down.

"Long'er (Ameng)..." Luo Long'er and another noble girl spoke at the same time, and found someone snatching the words, and shut up at the same time.

The Crown Princess laughed, "I won't be able to fight, come one by one. Miss Huang is younger, so let's talk about it first."

"Thank you, Princess." Huang Meng bowed.

Although Luo Longer was unwilling to accept it, the Crown Princess said, but she didn't dare to ignore it and had to sit down.

"The peak of the purple camel comes out of the green cauldron, and the plate of the water essence runs on the plain scales; the rhinoceros chopsticks have not been cut for a long time, and the phoenix knife cuts the air in the air; the yellow door flies without moving dust, and the imperial kitchen sends eight treasures in a row." Huang Meng also talks in a general way, using memorizing poems to make up for the numbers.

"Miss Huang, what are the eight treasures?" Yan Huo suddenly asked with a smile. There is a poem that there are thousands of beads of millet in books, but you can't just read the book and know the meaning. What is the thousand beads of millet? You have to know what the delicacies described in the poem are before you can eat them.

Huang Meng lowered her head and said, "Meng doesn't know, so I'll ask my wife for advice."

"The eight treasures can be divided into the upper eight treasures, the middle eight treasures, and the lower eight treasures. The upper eight treasures are: raccoon lips, bird's nest, hump, bear's paw, deer tendons, monkey head, leopard fetus, and fox toad." Yan Huo stretched out his left hand and counted it while saying, "The eight treasures are: shark fin, abalone, civet, big black ginseng, thorn belly, turtle skirt, fish lips, and turtlefish. The lower eight treasures are: Sichuan bamboo fungus, tremella, mushroom, monkey horn mushroom, dried scallops, fish bone, fish intestine, mullet egg."

"Mrs. Xie answered the doubts, A Meng remembered it." Huang Meng bowed.

Yan Huo smiled, "Let's talk about the ingredients of the dishes, how to cook them, and don't recite poems."

"Every time I eat something delicious, I will think about what it is made of and how it is made." The Crown Princess said this to Yan Huo, and she was also unhappy with listening to these ladies recite poems.

The palace fell silent again. Even though there were several ladies who liked to eat and knew what the ingredients were, they would never care about how to cook. Tang Zhi, the King of Gong, was only able to eat and not make decisions. It can be said that Yan Hu was making things difficult for these noble girls.

But it is not easy to become Princess Gong. So even if Yan Huo asks a question that is several times more difficult than this, these noble girls will have to answer it.

"Long'er once saw the cooking method of swordfish in a book. I don't know whether it is right or wrong, so I will tell you it for reference only." Luo Long'er stood up and said.

"But it's okay." The Crown Princess smiled.

"Blackfish is made of honey wine, clear sauce, and put it on a plate. It is like a fine fish method. It is best to steam it. There is no need to..." Luo Longer looked down at Luo Yaner sitting beside her.

Luo Yaner silently reminded her, "Add water."

Luo Longer continued: "Don't add water. If you think there are too many thorns, you can use tongs to remove the thorns. Add ham soup, chicken soup, and bamboo shoot soup to simmer. It's so delicious."

The Crown Princess and Yan Hu were far apart, so I didn't notice it, nor did I expect Luo Longer to force her sister to help her in such a short time. However, someone who was sitting near the Luo sister noticed it and secretly made a secret idea to tell the Crown Princess and Yan Hu about this, so that Luo Longer could not deceive the two of them.

Luo Longer had his head open, and there were a few ladies who loved reading miscellaneous books, and they also wanted some recipes, "Steam sparrows, take fifty sparrows, simmer them with clear sauce and sweet wine. After cooked, remove the claws and feet, and take the sparrow breasts and head meat alone, and put the soup on a plate. It is extremely sweet and fresh."

"Cut the raw radish into shreds as side dishes, accompanied by vinegar and other things, and porridge is the best way to use it."

"A whole goose, wash it, rub it with three cents of salt, stuff it with a broom, fill it with a broom, and apply honey and wine to the outside, and apply it all over the body... and moisten it with water. When you put it in the pot, not only will the goose meat be as rotten as mud, but the soup is also delicious."

"Hidden tofu, soak it in the well water three times to remove the bean gas, put it into the chicken soup, and add seaweed and shrimp meat when you start the pot."

With Yan Hu's confusion and the indulgence of the Crown Princess, this flower court meeting is much more interesting than those similar flower-watching banquets. The next day, the Crown Princess, who successfully held the flower court meeting, went to the palace to serve and told Empress Shen about the performance of the ladies at the flower court meeting one by one.

After hearing this, Empress Shen laughed and said, "You two mad girls have come up with this method to make things difficult for others. Now the food scriptures in the Beijing Bookstore are about to be sold out."

"It's good to read more." The Crown Princess smiled sly.

The Flower Court Meeting is just a primary election, and there will be another one and a third election. In the end, Empress Shen will summon these noble girls into the palace for Tang Zhi to take a look and then tell the emperor that he will issue the marriage decree.
