Chapter 49 carrot juice with roasted meat
Thinking about it this way, the ancient emperor’s days are not as good as her former boss, people although they can’t rule the world, as for eating to the mouth are the best.
Really poor.
The emperor walked to the outside of the dining room of Ci Ning Palace, and at a glance he saw Zhao Su who was humming a tune and cutting vegetables inside the window. Two days earlier the night of the flamboyant and domineering at the moment in her body as if completely disappeared, she hands and feet numb, a kitchen knife is like her own, obedient, a wrong eye work, under the hands of a side of beef will let her slice into a row of meat.
Even Four Happiness couldn’t help but marvel, “Strange, Miss Su has such good knife skills.”
The emperor’s gaze also became deep.
The work in the kitchen wasn’t a good job, although all the ladies were asked to learn how to make soups, but how many of them were really happy about it? However, when the subordinates are ready, they go into the kitchen to add some salt and taste the flavor.
But Zhao Su, who was busy, not only acted very skillfully, but also seemed to be enjoying herself.
The poor reputation of Zhao Su may not be a big deal if she can cook, but it’s not easy for a young lady from a marquis house to be useless. But the question was how did the Empress Dowager know that she could cook?
Even if she exposed her skills on her own to avoid the Empress Dowager’s punishment, how did she know that the Empress Dowager would eat her?
The Emperor crossed his arms, looked deeply for a moment, and then turned around.
Zhao Su spent half an hour preparing the ingredients, and led the people back to the imperial garden.
The garden was still pleasantly scented, and the courtiers standing outside the pavilion were still in place.
Empress Lu will still enjoy, this time is entering the most beautiful season of the year, the garden flowers and trees high and low staggered, flower clusters, fragrance, there are actresses across the flower beds in the side room singing and dancing. Setting the meal at the open pavilion in the middle of this, it was not too cozy.
“Mr. Lu!”
Zhao Su took a small step into the door, just ready to mention in the harem planted some vegetables to the Empress Dowager Lu to improve the food, the words have not yet spoken she was abruptly fixed under the door, a raised leg also stunned fixed in the air ……
Open Xuan has set up a long case on the jade woven mat, long case side sitting Lu Empress Dowager, and her opposite, is sitting in a gold soon to blind people’s eyes of the emperor of the dragon robe!
“Empress Lu?” The emperor raised his eyebrows.
Hear this voice, after Zhao Su waist somewhere immediately began to hurt up, two legs also can not help but to slip out ……
“What a special name.” The Emperor turned to Empress Dowager Lu without changing color, “How come I didn’t know that Empress Mother still has this kind of honorific?”
Big heroine is big heroine, after the incident, Empress Dowager Lu remained as steady as Mount Taishan, a cup of tea in her hand did not splash out half a point: “This palace is in total control of the harem, could it be that she can’t afford to be this total word?”
“The child minister just feel novelty.”
“This palace also feel novelty. This girl’s mind is marvelous, sometimes there are extraordinary actions, this palace has seen a lot, naturally it is not strange.”
The emperor turned his face to look at Zhao Su and the copper plate grills in the hands of the eunuchs behind him, “Unusual indeed.”
Zhao Su never thought that the emperor would appear here, right now she escaped is still not too late? …… ah, she definitely can’t run away, right? Also I wonder if he would bring up what happened that night next?
“Silly? Still not quick enough to see His Majesty?”
Empress Dowager Lu gave a look.
Zhao Su quickly adjusted his mindset and bowed, “Marquis of Qing Yun’s House, Zhao Su, see the Emperor!”
The Emperor faintly said, “I heard your father say that you are not feeling well?”
Zhao Su’s heart trembled, “No……”
“Since you are not feeling well, someone come and give Miss Su a seat. Remember to take a harder stool, it’s good for the little girl’s back.”
Before she could finish her reply, the emperor had already opened his mouth. Please! She has sores on her body! Give her a seat? She was able to live these days because the sores didn’t affect her walking, but she had to be careful when she sat down, and the stool had to be covered with thick cotton wool. And yet he still specifically explained to have a harder stool, did he do it on purpose?
However, the eunuch was obedient, and when his words fell, a bare-boarded yellow pearwood stool was brought over.
“Miss Su, this is the Emperor’s favor, you sit down!”
The eunuch named Si Xi warmly reminded him. But Zhao Su hated his talkativeness, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was also following orders, she would have glared at him anyways.
After thanking Grace she gritted her teeth and squatted down, sitting a little place next to the edge of the stool.
“This sitting position of yours is quite a bit special.” The emperor looked at her.
Why is it special he doesn’t know? How do you sit with a sore growing in that position? Heartthrob green tea whore, deliberately fixing her and pretending to be innocent!
Zhao Su endured the pain and decided to put an end to the embarrassment, “Empress Dowager, the fresh meat that was just cut is not good after being left for a long time. Why don’t we rack it first?”
“Rack it.”
Empress Dowager Lu obviously didn’t want to delay the meal either. She looked across the room, “I’m going to start dinner, are you going back or?”
“It has been a long time since I accompanied my mother for a meal, and my son is specially here to do his filial duty.”
“But there is no preparation for you.”
“No matter, my son will eat less, serving my mother’s heart is more important.”
Slightly speechless, Empress Lu waved her hand and asked the palace staff to put the copper oven on the shelf, then one by one the food boxes were carried over.
Soon the copper oven barbecue meat stall was spread out, across the center of Empress Dowager Lu and the emperor on the long case, set up a variety of dishes, but all exceptions are raw. Fishy red slices of raw meat lying flat on the leaves, individual seems to have a little blood, but also mixed with part of the internal organs.
In the palace where everything is exquisite, such a picture is really considered shocking.
The emperor looked at this picture, shaking the fan’s hand has long stopped: “mother’s recent dietary preferences are also quite some special.”
“I told you it’s not suitable for you to eat.” Empress Lu finished greeting Zhao Su: “Hurry up and do it.”
Zhao Su, who was sitting in a strange posture, was simply saved. She instantly stood up, seamlessly substituting for the waitress, first building up the charcoal fire in the clay oven and setting up the copper plate, then taking out a small brush to dip it in the oil.
The Emperor watched as she did this, then took his chopsticks and picked up a few slices of fatty and lean pancetta and stuck them on the edge of the copper pot, adding a few slices of potato, scallions, and whatnot. After the fire came up, the pot began to nuisance sound, and when the oil flowed out, fat and thin very uniform thick slices of beef first laid on, look like it should have been drowned, the surface was dull red, has not been as bloody as just now.
Soon, the unique aroma of meat emanates out, Zhao Su take the clip to pick up the beef gently turn the side, only to see that the roasted side has been slightly charred brown, the texture of the meat also began to take shape.
When both sides were charred red, she took a small clipper and cut the large piece of beef into small pieces suitable for entrance, and served it in a small dish.
The entire piece of roasted beef was charred red, but the cuts revealed a faint touch of pink color.
The Emperor frowned as Empress Dowager Lu picked up a piece and ate it in her mouth. He also looked at her and did not show any expected painful and intolerable color, on the contrary, she was also very comfortable and enjoyable.
The fragrance of meat always stretches and pounds into the nostrils ……
The emperor drank a mouthful of tea, then pursed his lips and averted his gaze.
