When Emperor Huilin and Empress Fang arrived at the door, they glanced at them and saw many officials of the third rank and above, as well as children of lords and nobles dining in the lobby.

I haven't been here for a long time, and the layout of this Zhiwei Pavilion is a lot more elegant.

Xiao Erfen greeted her and said, "I'm so sorry, two guest officers, the shop is full today, so the two of you have gone for nothing."

Empress Zhou said, "Why don't you do business before noon?"

Fenxiang said with a smile: "Our old Zhiweige store is newly opened, thanks to the love of diners, and the business has been very prosperous recently.

This box has already been lined up for next month, and the lobby has already sent out today's numbers, and there is no place. I'm really embarrassed. "

Emperor Huilin asked his entourage to take out a 50 taels silver note, "Fifty taels buy two positions."

Fennel said: "I'm sorry, two nobles, we also have rules. If the number is gone, it will be gone, and it is not acceptable to buy a position."

Queen Zhou said: "Forget it, you must eat Zhiwei Pavilion."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fu Lu, Jing Hua, Lin Mo and Zhou Siming coming together.

Lin Mo and Zhou Siming wanted to pretend they didn't recognize each other.

It was Fulu County Master who said, "Uncle, auntie, you all sneak out of the palace again!"

Emperor Huilin: "..." This niece is Bai Chong.

Princess Jinghua saluted, "Father, Queen Mother."

Emperor Huilin said: "You don't need to salute outside. I and the Queen come out to see the people's livelihood in Chang'an City, and don't publicize it."

Princess Fulu smiled and said, "Uncle is going to eat in the Zhiwei Pavilion?

This Zhiwei Pavilion now has to make an appointment a month in advance, and the business is very good.

Coincidentally, the Tianzihao private room here is mine, why don't my uncle come with me? "

Jing Hua tugged at Fu Lu's sleeve.

But Fu Lu had a big heart and didn't think there was anything wrong with dining with the emperor and the queen.

Zhou Siming said to Queen Zhou, "Auntie, it's really not easy to eat in the Zhiwei Pavilion.

If you don't dislike it, you can go to the Tianzihao box to have a meal. We can find a box at will to fight for it. "

Queen Zhou nodded lightly, "Okay."

She wanted to see how delicious the Zhiwei Pavilion, which had not been eaten for four years, was delicious.

It even made the high-ranking officials of the imperial court all flock to it.

In the box, Brother Tuan had just finished pinching a face person who he thought was very similar to Jin Niang, but actually had a mouth over his eyes.

Handing it to Qiao Jinniang like a gift: "Mother, pin it."

When Qiao Jinniang saw the face person who was not like an adult, she smiled softly: "Brother Tuan is really good, the face you squeezed looks exactly like your father."

"However, the group brother is pinching his mother."

At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and Qiao Jinniang unexpectedly bumped into Emperor Huilin and Queen Zhou.

When the group brother saw Emperor Huilin, he said, "Grandpa Huang!"

Emperor Huilin was kind to Brother Tuan, lowered his body and hugged Brother Tuan, "Why are you here?"

Qiao Jinniang knelt down again and again, "The minister, Qiao Jinniang, sees your majesty, the queen."

Although the woman beside her was wearing a veil, she thought she should be the queen.

The queen took off her veil and said, "Don't be too polite, get up, you guys also come here for dinner?"

It was the first time that Qiao Jinniang spoke to the emperor and the queen so closely. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous.

The reason why she can ignore the prince is because she still regards him as Lu Chen rather than the prince.

But in front of them is the emperor and his wife who are sitting on the river and mountains of Tang Dynasty.

Qiao Jinniang said uneasily: "Go back to the queen, this Zhiwei Pavilion is a restaurant bought by the minister's daughter."

The queen said: "I heard that you opened a restaurant in Jiangnan, and it's doing a good job. It's hard to find one."

Qiao Jinniang lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief and replied: "It's just that everyone is greedy for fresh food, and Zhiwei Pavilion has many more Jiangnan dishes.

The diners here in Chang'an have never tasted it. After the freshness has passed, presumably the business will not be as prosperous as it is now. "

The queen said softly: "You don't have to be so nervous. Since you are the shopkeeper of this Zhiwei Pavilion, you might as well introduce the signature dishes in your restaurant."

When Qiao Jinniang talked about the dishes, she became a little less nervous, "The signatures of this restaurant are mostly Jiangnan dishes. If your majesty does not dislike it, the minister will go to the kitchen to cook for the two of you."

Qiao Jinniang didn't dare to let others feed the two nobles. If someone poisoned her or something, it would be troublesome.

Queen Zhou saw Qiao Jinniang's embarrassment and said, "Go to the kitchen, you don't need to cook more, five dishes and two soups are enough."

Qiao Jinniang replied, "Yes."

In the kitchen, Qiao Jinniang went to the innermost stove.

When she was a child, her parents did not allow her to learn how to cook. Later, Qiao Jinniang would lie on the window and learn secretly, so her father simply passed on his cooking skills to himself.

Her culinary talent is extremely high, but she rarely cooks.

After Qiao Jinniang made a fire with fennel, she thought about the dishes.

After about a quarter of an hour, the five dishes and two soups were finally cooked.

Qiao Jinniang put five dishes and two soups into the food box and went to the box, placed the dishes one by one on the wooden round table, and slowly introduced:

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, this dish is stir-fried pork with water-flavored rice. This water-flavored rice is just shipped from Chang'an in the south of the Yangtze River just today. It is a dish that has never been seen in Chang'an."

"This is the best selling Longjing shrimp since the reopening of Zhiwei Pavilion. This shrimp is fresh meat that was specially shipped from Jiangnan with frozen meat. hot."

The entourage beside him had to move his chopsticks first, but the queen said, "No need to test."

The queen picked up the silver chopsticks and picked up the shrimp. The shrimp was tender and strong, mixed with the fragrance of Longjing tea, and the mouth was delicious. She sighed: "It's really good, Your Majesty will also try it."

The queen took a chopstick and gave the shrimp to Emperor Huilin.

When Emperor Huilin tasted it, his eyes brightened slightly. The shrimp had no fishy smell, and the mouthfeel was firm and delicious.

Qiao Jinniang brought up a casserole, "This is a famous Suzhou dish, Eight Treasures Duck, with scallops, ham, wrist liver, diced chicken, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, chestnuts, glutinous rice, shrimp and other side dishes. Once the lid is opened, the house is full. All fragrant."

After Qiao Jinniang took off the lid of the casserole, the fragrance of the Eight Treasures Duck permeated...

The diners in the lobby on the first floor also smelled the fragrance and asked what kind of dish it was.

Qiao Jinniang used silver chopsticks to clip a piece of meat from the duck's back to the queen, "The best among these eight treasures ducks is the duck's back meat, Niangniang try it."

The Queen took a bite of chopsticks and smiled slightly, "Bengong has never eaten such a delicious duck before, and His Majesty will try it too?"

Emperor Huilin frowned and said, "I never eat duck meat."

The queen took a piece and handed it to Emperor Huilin, "Just try it, it's much more delicious than what the imperial kitchen makes."

Emperor Huilin reluctantly took a bite, thinking that he would eat duck meat with a woody taste...

But he never thought that the delicious marinade would bloom on the taste buds, and the meat was not at all woody. The duck meat he had always hated could be so delicious!

Qiao Jinniang brought two other dishes, "Your Majesty, the other two dishes are steamed crucian carp and braised lion head.

The two soups are Jiangnan's famous pickled fresh soup and West Lake beef soup.

There is also an after-dinner dessert, sweet-scented osmanthus fermented rice balls. "

Qiao Jinniang brought the dishes to the table separately, and next to the two lion heads there was a little lion carved from carrots.

On the side of the steamed crucian carp, there is Jiang Taigong carved from radish, all of which are lifelike.

"This radish is very well carved." The Queen said, "I'm afraid this knife craftsmanship was not learned overnight, but which chef carved it?"

Qiao Jinniang lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your praise, this was carved by a minister."

The Queen was really surprised, and Emperor Huilin said: "These carvings are all fancy, although the most important thing in a delicacy is the fragrance."

Qiao Jinniang promises to be.

The queen glanced at Emperor Huilin, "Why are you scaring her? How do you know this dish doesn't taste good?"

Emperor Huilin took a piece of fish meat, and when he entered the mouth, he could no longer say that it was gimmicky.

He only felt that the fish and meat he had eaten for more than 40 years seemed to be all for nothing...

It turns out that there is no fishy smell, and the taste is so fresh and smooth!

Emperor Huilin actually thought that if Qiao Jinniang became the crown princess, then she could go to the East Palace to eat and drink...

No, he is a Ming master of a generation, and he must not compromise for a few delicious dishes, and he will make the people of the world laugh at him!

But this dish is really delicious...
