Ming Ruoxie just suppressed her smile slightly and said, "I have been away from home for a long time, and it is time to see the emperor again after a long absence."
The emperor, who was about to continue scolding, suddenly fell silent. When the words of scolding came to his lips, he could not say them out. He only felt a breath stuck in his throat.
Ming Ruoxie put his hand into his sleeve pocket.
As soon as he saw her action, the emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp again, and Eunuch Hu subconsciously moved a step closer to the emperor, staring at Ming Ruoxie warily.
Ming Ruoxie noticed their reaction, paused for a moment, and took out the thing from his sleeve pocket. It was a bamboo box as big as a palm.
She waved to Eunuch Hu, "Eunuch Hu, come here and present this to the emperor."
"What is it?" the emperor asked.
"It's delicious." Ming Ruoxie winked at him, "It's something unique to Hansai City and can't be eaten in the capital. I tasted it there and thought it was quite delicious, so I brought some back. This Let the emperor taste it first. If the emperor thinks it tastes good, I will send more to the emperor."
Um?
Both the emperor and Eunuch Hu were stunned.
Did you bring him something delicious?
But what kind of delicious food only comes in such a small box?
The emperor's curiosity was immediately piqued by her. He glanced at Eunuch Hu and motioned for him to go over and get it.
Eunuch Hu quickly walked over, took the box from Ming Ruoxie's hand, opened it and took a look. As soon as he opened the box, he smelled a strange smell that was slightly fishy but also had a strong aroma.
Inside were gray-white things that looked like they were torn out by hand, but he really couldn't tell what they were.
"What is it?" The emperor has already looked over. Is Eunuch Hu really looking at it for so long?
Eunuch Hu sent the box of things to the emperor's desk.
The emperor looked at it and felt a little confused. He stretched out his hand and pinched one. It did smell a little like sea, but it was also very fragrant.
He held the thing and turned it around in front of his eyes, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Mingruo Xie couldn't bear to laugh.
When she made this thing before, Sikong Ji was also at a loss. This box of things was just her snacks. She hadn't eaten them for a long time. She saw them in Hansai City and bought a lot.
When she left, Xiao Mansion also gave her a lot.
" However, even the people in Hansai City don't know that this thing can be so delicious. People in the place of origin don't know about it, and people in the capital have definitely never seen it.
The emperor looked at it for a long time and still didn¡¯t know what it was, so he had to ask Ming Ruoxie.
"What's this?"
"Shredded squid."
Ming Ruoxie said this answer while holding back a smile. She did not expect that even the emperor and princes did not know about such things as charcoal-grilled shredded squid.
"What silk?"
The emperor was so confused.
"Squid." Ming Ruoxie asked him, "Are the emperor's teeth okay?"
"good."
"Then please try it, Your Majesty. It's very chewy, but the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. It's great for drinking. It would be even better if you could dip it in some soy sauce and add some mustard."
"Soy sauce? Wasabi?" The emperor was even more confused. What are the ways to eat these?
Ming Ruoxie asked Sikong Ji that although there is no green mustard as commonly eaten in modern times, yellow mustard does exist, and this condiment is available in the palace of Lan State, but the emperor's concubines rarely eat it. Because the taste will be stronger after eating it, Sikong Ji had eaten it when he was teased by the former prince of Lan Kingdom when he was young, so he was deeply impressed.
But Dazhen didn¡¯t seem to have any, so on the way back to the capital, when she had nothing to do and wrote to King Lian, she even mentioned it to King Lian and asked him to find some for her.
"Your Majesty, please give it a try. If you are in a bad mood, stressed or anxious, chewing something can help you relax a bit." Ming Ruoxie looked concerned.
Looking at her like this, the emperor originally didn't want to eat these things of unknown origin. He was also very jealous during this period. He was very scared when eating, and had to test the poison again and again before he dared to eat. But now Before he knew it, he had already put the shredded squid in his mouth.
fragrant.
Although it is a test on the teeth, the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. After chewing one stick, your hand subconsciously picked up another one.
Because there was no mustard, and I had it with me as a snack.Yes, so when it was baked, Ming Ruoxie ground some salt powder with fried green onions, sprinkled a little, shook it and then patted it off. It had a bit of flavor but was not too salty. It was her own. An exclusive approach.
This will cover up some of the fishy smell of the sea and some of the charcoal smell, making it more fresh.
"Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
After the emperor had eaten three squid shreds, Ming Ruoxie asked.
"Fragrant¡ª¡ª" The emperor only replied with one word, and then he froze a little, feeling embarrassed, a little unable to get off the stage, his face was stern, and he was a little angry.
"You brought your own snacks when you came to the palace?" He changed his tone, "Are you afraid that I will deprive you of food?"
Hearing what the emperor said, Ming Ruoxie knew that he really wanted to keep her.
"The palace will prepare a banquet for me in the evening," she said.
"Where is Xiaoliu?" The emperor did not answer her words, but changed his tone again and asked about Sikong Ji. But he had already eaten them all anyway, so he simply gave up. Although he was talking to Ming Ruoxie, he continued to eat the shredded squid. It really tastes better the more you chew it.
"This journey has been too tiring, and we are not accustomed to the climate. From time to time, people come to assassinate us. We have worked really hard. My prince is tired and frightened, so he can't hurry, so he slowly walks back from behind. Let's go," Ming Ruoxie lied, his face not red, his heart not beating. He said it like he was slipping away, "But I am impatient. If you want me to go at the same speed as him, it would be like counting the ants on the roadside while walking. , It was so hard, so I agreed with him that I would rush back first and he would walk slowly by himself."
"Didn't you just say that this was brought back from Hansai City? I don't seem to have asked you to go to Hansai City." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her inquiringly, not missing any of her expressions.
"Yes, but didn't we encounter an assassin? We were running for our lives, and we were so embarrassed when we were chased! Your Majesty, you don't know, it was a dark and windy night, so we ran for our lives, and then we didn't recognize the direction. We ran. We ran, hid, hid, detoured, and detoured, but by the time we reacted, guess what?¡±
Ming Ruoxie looked at the emperor with bright eyes, and the emperor subconsciously answered, "What's the matter?"
"We took a look, hey! Why did we come to Hansai City!" Ming Ruoxie opened his eyes wide and looked incredulous.
Poof.
On the side, Eunuch Hu couldn't hold it in anymore.
How can we reach Hansai City like this? Isn't that amazing?
"Nonsense, who would assassinate you? One of you is my prince, the prince of Dazhen, and the other is the princess of Lan State, the princess of Dazhen. Who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?" The emperor took a hard bite. shredded squid. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
