Princess Xia Bo has also met many chefs from Da Zhou these days, but the dishes they make are all the same, and there is nothing outstanding. In addition, the roast lamb cooked by their chefs in Dayue is really delicious today. Yes, Princess Xia Bo was a little worried, in case this woman surnamed Ning couldn’t cook up to the same level, she would be a cocoon in the end.
When the dishes made by Ningxi were delivered in the same way, Princess Xia Bo was even more stunned. What kind of dishes were on the plate, and why she couldn’t recognize them at all, and the taste, although very fragrant, Feeling a little weird all the time?
Xia Bo looked at the prince and hoped that he would do his best to introduce him as a landlord, but the other party was also dazed and looked in the direction of Jun Qianyu expectantly.
Xia Bo took the opportunity to ask Jun Qianyu: “His Royal Highness, your friend’s cooking looks very special. Xia Bo knows the famous dishes all over Dazhou, but he can’t see them. What kind of food is it?”
In fact, Jun Qianyu doesn’t know each other, but they have known each other for so long, but Ning Xi has never cooked these dishes for him. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart: “If it’s normal Visible dishes, no matter how kindly they are brought out to entertain the princesses of neighboring countries, it is naturally the best if you want to serve them, princesses, please feel free to taste them.”
Princess Xia Bo hesitated for a moment, with no answer, and stretched her chopsticks to the most normal-looking plate of fried fish.
At this moment, someone came to report: “Princess, Hassan asks for an interview.” Hassan is one of the chefs from the Great Vietnam Country she brought.
Princess Xia Bo paused: “Let him come in!” After speaking, she continued to stretch out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat. The fish meat was not as soft and tender as ordinary river fish, but felt that the meat fibers were tight and elastic. .
Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he suddenly heard a shout: “Princess, you must not eat it!” Chef Hassan rushed in, and with a plop, he knelt down in front of Princess Xia Bo.
Princess Xia Bo’s chopsticks stood awkwardly beside her mouth, and looked at Hassan unhappily: “Don’t look at who is here, who allows you to be so presumptuous?”
The Crown Prince said unhappily, “Your Highness, I don’t know what the chef of your country means by this? Is it because he suspects that there is something wrong with the dishes prepared by our chef in Dazhou?”
Hassan hurriedly kowtowed: “Princess forgiveness, but this matter is related to the princess’ health, the subordinates have no choice but to collide with the Prince of Da Zhou and His Royal Highness Prince Yu. It is really a crime that deserves death, I implore the princess to let her subordinates go. The next sentence will be punished later.”
Princess Xia Bo frowned: “What exactly are you trying to say? Hurry up! I warn you, it’s best not to disappoint me with what you say!”
Under the cold eyes of the prince and Jun Qianyu, Hassan broke into a cold sweat and said with courage, “Everyone in the kitchen just saw it, the raw materials of this fish have long been rancid, and it was absolutely impossible to do so. It was imported again, but the female chef from Da Zhou chose to use such ingredients to cook for the princess, and her subordinates dared to think that this chef surnamed Ning must be malicious and sincerely want to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries!”
“Is there such a thing?” Princess Xia Bo was shocked and angry. She put the fish in her hand under her nose and sniffed carefully. Sure enough, she smelled a faint stench. Ning Xi followed Jun Qianyu’s appearance, and even concluded that she was intending to smash the dishes in order to prevent herself from marrying King Yu.
Princess Xia Bo sneered: “His Royal Highness, what do you say about this?”
The prince didn’t know much about Ning Xi, so he was a little surprised at this time, so he couldn’t help but glance at Jun Qianyu.
Jun Qianyu calmly stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of stinky mandarin fish into his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed it carefully. With a satisfied smile on his face, he casually said with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: “It really is a barbarian. It comes out of the land, and the knowledge is superficial, so there is such a fuss. I have a lot of knowledge and resources, and the methods of cooking ingredients in various places are all kinds of strange, that is, some have a strange taste in the process of processing. So what? That’s what chefs do.”
After speaking, I put a piece into the prince’s bowl: “Brother, you can try it too!”
The prince picked up the piece of fish and smelled it. It smelled like fragrant but not fragrant. Drag yourself into the water to cover him?
Facing Jun Qianyu’s earnest gaze, the crown prince put the piece of fish into his mouth as if he were dying, and he’d give it up.
As soon as the fish came into the mouth, the prince was stunned for a moment. It seemed that it was not as unpalatable as he imagined. The flesh of this fish is firm and chewy. It feels a little fragrant, a little smelly, and a little spicy. , more and more feel the incomparable fragrance, the taste is endless.
Can’t help but nod and praise: “It’s really delicious.”
Princess Xia Bo looked embarrassed: “His Royal Highness Prince Yu, His Royal Highness King Yu, Xia Bo is not strict with his subordinates, but the two of them are laughing.” After speaking, he gave Hassan a stern look, “I am presumptuous, I don’t understand. Clear and dare to come and talk nonsense, someone, bring me down and beat me hard!”
Hassan just wanted to take credit. After all, after smelling the smell of stinky mandarin fish, no one would have thought that it could still be eaten. Begging for mercy: “Princess, spare your life, my subordinates will no longer dare.”
Several strong guards came up, some dragged their hands, some dragged their feet, and some covered their mouths, and they got them out at once. The prince and Jun Qianyu seemed to have not seen it, and took care of themselves. Eating delicious food on the table.
The princess was a little embarrassed and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
At first, I couldn’t let go, but gradually I got carried away. I was attracted by the deliciousness of the food. Growing up, this is the first time I have eaten something so unique and delicious!
Especially the fish in the sour soup soaked in the red thick soup, the mouth is sour and delicious, full of spiciness, which makes people’s appetite open, and can’t stop eating while breathing, and the lips are so hot that the red can’t stop stuffed into the mouth.
And the rice covered with thick yellow sauce, mixed with crispy stewed chicken and potatoes, was so delicious that even Princess Xiabo, who was never very fond of rice I couldn’t help but eat two bowls.
In the end, holding a bulging belly, he waved his hands again and again: “No way, I really can’t eat anymore.” As a princess, this is the first time she has eaten so badly!
The prince smiled and said, “The princess is satisfied!”
Princess Xia Bo thought for a while and said, “Since this girl Ning’s cooking is so delicious, it’s boring to eat other dishes after eating her dishes, why don’t she stay in the inn for a few days? , how about cooking for me for a few days?”
“Sorry, Miss Ning is not a cook, and I’m just here to help you today. Since the princess thinks that she is better than your chefs in Dayue, she should keep her promise and stay in Dazhou and be with her relatives.” Jun Qian was cold. cold road.
Although his tone is not very good, Princess Xia Bo’s heart is still sweet: “Xia Bo will not break his promise, but I have a request.”
“Oh, what does the princess ask for?” the prince asked.
The prince frowned and said, “The princess has just arrived. I’m afraid she doesn’t know enough about the etiquette and customs of our week. In our case, marriage is about the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents. Even the princess never decides her own marriage matters. What’s more, the princess doesn’t know much about our son-in-law here. If you choose a romantic and playful person, wouldn’t it hurt the princess? Please rest assured, the princess, we will choose carefully and choose the most suitable man for the princess. .”
Princess Xia Bo said: “According to your rules, it’s already shocking enough for me to sit here and talk to you about my marriage, but in our day, every woman can choose her husband freely. Yes, since the two countries want to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, they should also respect their respective customs and habits!”
“What does the princess mean?”
“Isn’t the emperor’s golden words more useful than the words of parents and matchmakers? I ask to meet the emperor, tell him who I like, and ask the emperor to marry me!”
“No! I don’t think even if the King of Dayue was here, he wouldn’t let you do it like this!” Jun Qianyu said unhappily, Princess Xia Bo looked at him with red eyes, and he naturally knew her the meaning of.
The prince glanced at the fifth younger brother. Jun Qianyu insisted that the media was marrying a woman from the common people. He knew a little bit, but from the standpoint of being the eldest brother, he didn’t quite agree. He can ascend to the throne and can protect this younger brother, but the power in the court is swaying. If he can have a strong Yue family, it will be very good for his future development. Marrying the princess of Dayue Kingdom, the whole Dayue The country will be his strong backing. The prince believes that it is a good thing for Jun Qianyu to marry Princess Dayue.
Therefore, he didn’t want to say anything: “Princess, I can’t make up my mind about this matter. Why don’t I go back and report back to the emperor to see what the emperor means?”
“Okay, then Xia Bo will wait for the good news from His Royal Highness!”
Leaving the inn, Jun Qianyu said dissatisfiedly: “Big Brother, the Dayue Kingdom is just a small dependent country, even if you don’t marry them, it’s no big deal. Why is Big Brother so polite and promises that the unreasonable princess is unreasonable. request?”
Prince said: “Even if we are not afraid of the country of Dayue, it is only the common people who suffer in wars and turmoil, and it is best to solve it peacefully. Besides, Princess Dayue, although she is a bit willful, is straightforward and has nothing to do with it. It’s the most worry-free way to marry such a person.”
“In this case, wouldn’t it be good for my eldest brother to marry him and be a concubine?”
The prince said seriously: “If she wants to, I’ll have no problem.”
