The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

Road.

Rong Ruo said: "Yes, of course." Then he sat in front of the stove, looked here and there, touched it, and did not see him lighting the fire for a long time.

Zixiu smiled secretly, but it was not easy to break it. After finishing the things in his hands, he washed his hands, and said, "Let me do it."

Rong Ruo smiled awkwardly, touched his chin, and found out that he couldn't even do such a simple thing.It seems that it is really interlaced like a mountain. If a person wanders into an uninhabited mountain in the future, he may be starved to death.

Zixiu started the fire, Rong Ruo knew what to do now, he stood by the stove, adding a piece of firewood into it from time to time, keeping the fire not too big or too small.

Zixiu started to fry thin rolls, and soon, there was a burst of fragrance in the imperial dining room, and when all the ingredients were finished, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Rong Ruo excitedly ran over to sniff the fragrance, while Zixiu looked at him in surprise.

"What's wrong?" After watching for a long time, Rong Ruo finally came to his senses.

"Your face...you'd better look in the mirror." Zixiu couldn't bear to hit him, he had never seen anyone who could dye his face so black by burning a fire.

Rong Ruo realized something, he ran to the basin to take a picture, and blushed immediately.It's so embarrassing that he actually appeared in front of Zixiu like this.

After washing his face, Rong Ruo saw that Zixiu had already placed the mandarin duck rolls on the plate. The mandarin duck rolls looked fluffy and soft, very delicious. The most unbearable thing was that they revealed a scent from time to time, which was simply appetizing. .

Rong Ruo said: "Let's go outside and eat in the pavilion." Then he picked up the jug and wine glass.

Zixiu said: "Wait a minute." Rong Ruo stopped, and saw Zixiu bring out some side dishes from the pot next to him.It turned out that Zixiu had already prepared, Rong Ruo thought happily.

The two moved the wine and vegetables to the pavilion, Rong Ruo filled the cup with wine, and asked Zixiu to sit down.Sitting face to face, the two suddenly felt a little awkward.

"Zixiu, I'm so happy to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival with you." Rong Ruo managed to hold back a sentence, but it made the atmosphere even more strange.

Zixiu groaned for a long time, and said: "What's so fun about spending the holidays with me, you should spend the holidays with your sweetheart."

He didn't notice that Rong Ruo blushed after he said this, but he recovered quickly.Rong Ruo said: "Then I don't have a sweetheart, so spending the holidays with you is very happy."

"Well, I'm also very happy. I used to spend the festival alone." Zixiu said honestly, but he didn't notice that Rong Ruo's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Rong Ruo was happy and was about to say something when suddenly an eager voice came.

"Master, it's not good...Master is already on his way back." The man stumbled and rushed in, panting heavily.

Rong Ruo took a look and found that it was his little follower, Zhang Jia. Chang Jia had been by his side since he was a child and would never lie to him.This time he came out and asked Chang Jia to report at any time, so as not to be discovered by Ama.

"Why so early?" Rong Ruo asked in surprise.

"The slave doesn't know either. It was the people over there who said it. Fortunately, the slave sent someone to watch the fleet from a distance, otherwise it would have been a mistake?" Chang Jia said like a cannonball.

Rong Ruo was depressed, the mandarin duck rolls just came to the table and didn't eat any of them, so it's really unfair to go back like this.He glanced at the delicious mandarin duck rolls, then wrapped two pieces in a silk handkerchief, and said, "Zixiu, don't waste it, we made this together, we must finish eating, I'm leaving first."

Zixiu said: "Go back quickly, lest you be found out and suffer disaster."

Rong Ruo nodded, followed Chang Jia and left quickly, Zixiu shook his head, staring blankly at the table full of dishes.

The surroundings are quiet, only the moonlight shines on the earth unsparingly, coating everything with a layer of silver light.Zixiu ate mandarin duck rolls alone, it was a very delicious food, but at the moment it tasted like nothing.

He was about to put away the food, but found a person standing in the shadow not far away. Zixiu was startled and almost cried out. He covered his mouth and found that person came out slowly.

It turned out to be Kangxi!

"Emperor... Your Majesty, why are you here?" Zixiu let go of his hand covering his mouth and asked in surprise.

Kangxi stomped over step by step, then sat down in front of the table, and said, "Sit, what are you doing standing?"

Zixiu sat down obediently, and Kangxi said again: "What is this made again? I don't seem to have seen it before." He twisted a piece of mandarin duck roll, put it into his mouth and tasted it, and found it delicious.

"This is a mandarin duck roll. I haven't made it for the emperor before." Zixiu replied.

Kangxi's eyebrows twitched, mandarin duck curls, made by Qi Qiaojie... Who did he cook for?

"Since the emperor likes it, eat more." Seeing his interested look, Zixiu couldn't help saying.He still hasn't forgotten what Rong Ruo said just now, telling him not to waste, he must finish eating.

He definitely can't finish it by himself, since the emperor likes it, let him eat it.

If Rong Ruo knew what Zixiu was thinking, he would be so depressed that he vomited blood. He never thought that the things he made would be eaten by Kangxi.Perhaps this is called making wedding clothes for others?

Sure enough, Kangxi ate the mandarin duck rolls unceremoniously. He hadn't tasted Zixiu's cooking for a long time, and he missed it very much.As soon as he ate something at this time, he actually hooked up all his previous memories.

But if he knew that Rong Ruo and Zixiu did it together, he would definitely want to spit it out immediately.

"Zixiu, I...are you still blaming me?" Kangxi looked at Zixiu for a long time and asked.

Zixiu shook his head lightly, and said: "It's fine if the emperor doesn't get angry with this slave, why would the slave blame the emperor?"

Kangxi smiled desolately, and said: "I was confused at the time, I was very angry when I thought of you falling into the water and getting sick..."

"The slave knows that the emperor punishes the slave because he is worried about the slave, so that the slave will have a long memory."

"It's good if you can think this way, Zixiu. From now on, when you're with me, you don't need to call me a slave, and I don't call you me either. How about we all address each other as 'I'?"

"Okay." Zixiu smiled, and suddenly felt that the strangeness with Kangxi had completely disappeared. If "I" is commensurate with it, does it mean that they have really become friends?

The author has something to say: ah, I'm hungry, I climbed down to eat cherries.This is mandarin duck roll

No.20 dishes

After that night, all the barriers between the two disappeared, and they returned to the previous situation. Zixiu would stay late for Kangxi every night, and then accompany him to review the memorials until Xushi.

For this change, many people feel baffled, especially Xueshan and Xuesong, one is more jealous and the other is afraid.Xueshan felt that Zixiu was her nemesis, but with the lesson from last time, she did not dare to act rashly again; while Xuesong began to avoid Zixiu, he did not forget how he humiliated Zixiu before, if When Zixiu calculated, he might lose his head.

The two men restrained themselves, so the villa seemed very calm.

Another night, Zixiu cooked delicious food for Kangxi, and then sat on the steps chatting with Kangxi with his chin propped up.While chatting, Kangxi realized something was wrong. Zixiu seemed to have something on his mind and was hiding something from him.

Kangxi was most displeased with Zixiu's concealment from him, so he said: "Lin Zixiu, there is something you didn't tell me, don't you remember what you said to me before?"

Zixiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Kangxi could see it, but he did not forget the promise he had made to Kangxi, and Kangxi suddenly changed his address to Zhen, so he knew that the man was angry.

So he said, "I'm afraid you won't agree even if I tell you."

"You didn't say how you know I won't agree?" Kangxi hummed unhappily.

Zixiu heard that he changed the title back again, so he smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you, I'm full tomorrow, and I want to invite you over for dinner, but you are so busy every day, so..."

Kangxi looked at him with a little surprise, and said: "So, you want me to go, you want to invite me so much, how can I not go?"

"You agreed?" Zixiu was surprised this time, he really didn't expect to invite Kangxi so easily, after all, he is also the king of a country.

"Well, then you don't have to come over tomorrow night, I'll come over to you in Youshi." Kangxi said.

"Okay, but your majesty, is it okay for you to just go away like this?" With so many memorials that need to be reviewed every day, wouldn't there be more backlogs for Kangxi to play all night?

Kangxi glanced at him and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, you just have to cook something delicious and wait for me to come over."

Zixiu said "oh", since Kangxi said so, it must be all right.He thought happily, so that everyone who needed to be invited has been invited, and he just waited for the birthday celebration tomorrow night.

There is no need to make late for Kangxi, Zixiu started to prepare a birthday party for himself after finishing the dinner for Concubine Hui, and he invited three guests this time: Master, Rong Ruo and Kangxi.

Cheng Li also came to help him cook food after finishing his work. Zixiu wanted him to rest, but Cheng Li said angrily, "Do you despise Master's craftsmanship?" Of course Zixiu didn't dare Disgusted, so I had to ask him to help.

Not long after, Rong Ruo also came over, and he also wanted to help, but in view of the experience last time, Zixiu politely invited him out.Rong Ruo groaned twice and had no choice but to play in Zixiu's room.

"Zixiu, I'm afraid you are the first royal chef invited to the emperor's birthday celebration. If others find out, there will inevitably be another disturbance." Cheng Li said while cooking.

Zixiu smiled and said: "Master, then don't let others know. The emperor came here at night, so it shouldn't attract too many people's attention."

"I hope so, alas, you child, not long after entering the palace, there have been a lot of troubles, I don't know
