After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

"I heard that the son of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has developed a new method of raising ducks, called duck cramming."

"This duck has a lot of meat and feeds quickly."

"True or false? First the emperor asked ministers to serve piglets, and then there were scholars raising ducks?"

"How can it be true? The emperor heard about duck cramming, and today he and his ministers held a duck banquet at Qiu Shan Temple. In addition to the officials, five hundred people were provided for free. The queue reached the bottom of Qiu Shan!"

"what?!"

The people in the capital were shocked.

So what are you waiting for? No money, you must rush!

Everyone had nothing to do and had free time, so they all ran to Qiu Shan Temple.

What? There are only [-] places available.

It's okay, just watch the excitement.

Before the lunch banquet started, Qiu Shan Temple was already overcrowded.

In the end, the emperor's sedan chair could not go up the mountain, so he had to hold little Gege Chuchu and walk up the mountain with his ministers.

During the process, there were ducks hanging upside down on the silver hooks, and they were escorted to the mountain in rows by the guards.

The people waiting in line at the foot of the mountain to watch the excitement, and the officials and people waiting for the banquet on the mountain all had their eyes widened.

These ducks are all beautiful and round.

"So fat!"

A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that this is not a duck raised by ordinary people.

This duck has big breasts, a round butt, and a solid body!

"How much does this duck weigh? Is this the new way of raising ducks that the Liu family has come up with?"

"Are you kidding? He takes ordinary ducklings and feeds them in his hands for ten days and they become so fat?"

The people were stunned and clamoring, trying to figure it out.

The eyes of the officials on the mountain, especially the Minister of Household Affairs, were all bright!

He turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, did Liu Leonnian really say that he could raise such a fat duck in less than fifty days from the moment it hatches?"

Ordinary people, even if they feed for a hundred days, will not be able to feed them so much fat.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Industry does not want this talent, but we at the Ministry of Revenue want it!"

Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of money.

This duck has a lot of meat, it looks fat and oily at first glance, and it grows very fast, so it can be sold to the stupid Wu Yunguo.

Isn’t this going to open the mutual market soon?

This duck can make money, make money quickly.

"Your Majesty, where is Liu Leung Nian?" Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue already wanted to stand up and grab him directly.

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely and quickly stood up, "Master Jiang, what does this have to do with you?"

"Is this a Tobe matter?"

"The method of raising ducks requires craftsmanship, technology, and equipment. Whose business is it? It's the Ministry of Industry!"

Why are you bringing someone to rob someone?

Qiu Shan Temple, the back mountain is flat.

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry turned around with a blush, facing Xiao Yunzhou, the daughter of the slave emperor who was teasing Xiao Gege, and covered his face with his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, you personally appointed Liu Runnian to the Ministry of Industry."

"Where is he at this moment? I would like to personally ask him about his methods of cramming ducks and hatching eggs."

Xiao Yunzhou teased Chu Chu, raised his head and said "ho ho" to the old minister.

"..."

The corners of the Minister's lips twitched.

"Your Majesty, I have been anxious for a long time."

"Well," Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand generously, "It's okay, I won't argue with you."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded with a smile and gave the Minister of the Ministry of Households a "ho-ho".

But Xiao Yunzhou's next words made him change his face.

"You're in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry anymore." Xiao Yunzhou slowly put down the veil.

"The banquet will be held soon. Liu Leonnian is also helping in the dining room. We will discuss some things later."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "..."

What else can he do?

I didn’t cherish it before, but now I can only regret it!

But soon, he had no time to regret it, because a strong aroma of fat and meat filled the air from the dining room of Qiu Shan Temple, making his stomach growl.

Not only him, but other officials on the mountain, the people sitting there, and the people on the entire mountain road who were trying to watch the fun all smelled this attractive roasting smell.

【what? 】

Xiao Chuchu raised her eyes greedily in Xiao Yunzhou's arms.

[It smells so good~ Does this smell seem familiar? It’s not really roast duck, is it? 】

With a smile on his face, Xiao Yunzhou immediately looked at the kitchen eunuch who was walking in front to serve the food, and Liu Runnian who was helping push the cart out.

"Leap year, please tell me about today's duck banquet dishes."

Liu Runnian was dressed in a scholar's robe, with black charcoal ash on his sleeves and some duck feathers on his feet, and his whole body was smoky.

But after all, his Chinese character and face are quite Zhou Zheng.

Hearing this, Liu Runnian spoke loudly and said, "To return to the emperor, today the students and villagers from nearby Zhou Village raised stuffed ducks and cooked a total of twelve banquet dishes."

"They are duck breast with berries..."

Xiao Chuchu stared, [Ah, there is no roast duck... Stuffing duck is very wasteful when used to make ordinary duck dishes. 】

Liu Runnian's eyebrows twitched and he quickly lowered his head as if he hadn't heard.

“Salt water duck wings…”

"And the fruit-tree roasted duck developed by the butler sent by the emperor."

Xiao Chuchu pricked up her ears.

"Huh?" Xiao Yunzhou pretended not to notice the anxiety of his daughter in his arms, and asked in a funny manner, "I have never heard of the fruit tree roasting duck before."

Liu Lao, Liu Bin and Cheng Qian, who were sitting at the banquet seats, lowered their heads at the same time.

Installed.

The emperor is pretending to be addicted!

Xiao Yunzhou's acting skills have now been honed.

In order to prevent the fairy-like little princess from discovering the abnormality, he pretended to be interested and looked at Liu Runnian.

Liu Leung Nian has been busy raising ducks with farmers these past few days, and has a lot of tan.

The blush was no longer visible. He cleared his throat and replied, "The student has never eaten this dish."

"But the emperor's kitchen manager saw the students' batch of stuffed ducks and said that the ducks were very plump and would be wasted by ordinary boiling."

[Oh, that’s right, that’s right! 】

[The stuffed duck is rich in fat, and after being roasted with fruit wood, it becomes fatter but not greasy~]

Xiao Chuchu was excited.

[The emperor’s father’s imperial dining room is amazing, I hit the nail on the head. 】

Xiao Yunzhou suppressed his laughter and nodded to Liu Runnian, "Then submit it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Runnian asked the guards to help, and soon the roast ducks, which were roasted with golden red skin, crispy skin, and dripping oil, were hung on silver hooks and kept flowing out from the dining room of Qiu Shan Temple.

The kitchen manager personally led the chefs from the royal kitchen to cut pieces of duck meat.

[Ah, it’s too big. 】

Xiao Chuchu looked at it and howled, "Put it in the pancake, the big piece won't fit~"

Xiao Yunzhou's expression changed, and he reached out hurriedly, "Cut into small slices——!"

"I'm afraid the elderly officials and common people can't chew a large piece of duck meat!" the emperor shouted.

The kitchen cook has a meal.

Officials and people on and off the mountain were stunned.

"Old minister, I kneel down to thank the Emperor for his compassion!"

"The common people thank the Emperor for taking care of him..."

"The Emperor is actually so concerned about us who are about to enter the coffin..."

In an instant, the elders were a little moved.

Xiao Yunzhou was also moved by his wit. He smiled and waved to everyone, "That's right. You are all my subjects."

The elderly people all wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but they were quickly stopped.

"The roasted duck is here, old man, hurry up and try it."

"If the old man can't chew duck meat, I'll give him a few pieces of duck skin."

[Oooh, roast duck skin with a thin layer of balsamic, dipped in sugar~it melts in your mouth~]

Xiao Chuchu drooled.

Sure enough, the old man took a plate of roast duck skin that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside from the imperial kitchen. Just as he was about to eat it, Xiao Yunzhou called out again.

"Elderly people tend to have no taste in their mouths, so add some seasoning."

"Salt and sugar, let the elderly eat them."

The elderly man headed by him was extremely grateful. A piece of roast duck was half dipped in salt and half filled with sugar. After putting it in his mouth, he burst into tears.

"Melt, Your Majesty..."

"It melted..."

“This is my first time to eat such delicious duck meat!”

"It tastes sweeter! It tastes better when dipped in sugar!"

Xiao Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I will listen to the old man and come and bring me some sugar and sweet noodle sauce!"
