"Stop!" Seeing An Qing eating so much, Han Du was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.
Seeing the delicious food right in front of him but unable to eat it, An Qing was immediately dissatisfied. He glared at Han Du and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Han Du pointed to the steamed bun in An Qing's hand, "I eat steamed buns because I'm hungry. Are you hungry too, so you want to eat steamed buns too?"
An Qing was stunned for a moment, holding a spoon in one hand and pinching the torn pieces of steamed buns in the other, and asked weakly: "Isn't it delicious if you eat it this way?"
"It's the same thing if you eat it directly." Han Du sighed helplessly.
When An Qing heard this, he immediately glanced at the steamed bun in his hand, and then he had an idea and stuffed it directly into Han Du's mouth. Then he took a spoon and took a big spoonful into his mouth, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.
Han Du smiled, slowly chewed the bun in his mouth, swallowed it, and then ate it. I was really hungry today. I was busy working in Duke Xinguo's mansion for a long time, and then I continued to cook after I came back. In the end, I didn't even get a morsel of food into my mouth.
Now that you have steamed buns mixed with caviar, why don’t you have a good meal?
But before Han Du was full, An Qing couldn't eat anymore. Even if she just ate caviar, she soon felt a little stretched.
She couldn't eat it. Seeing Han Du eating happily, she suddenly became unhappy. When Han Du reached out to scoop it up again, An Qing couldn't bear it anymore and put the caviar aside.
"What are you doing?" The meal suddenly stopped midway through the meal, and Han Du was a little unhappy.
An Qing put the caviar aside and felt a little bad when Han Du asked. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Husband, how can you be full just by eating this? Let's ask the chef to cook some side dishes for you. Someone..."
"Forget it about vegetables, this stuff can fill you up." Han Du doesn't eat any vegetables. If he has caviar, he will still eat vegetables unless he has a problem with his brain.
"Wait a minute," An Qing quickly held down Han Du who was about to get up, then looked aggrieved, holding Han Du's arm and shaking it, "Husband... I finally like to eat something. , can’t you just leave it all to me? Anyway, you’ve tasted it, and you’ll be full with a few more side dishes.”
Finally like to eat something? I've never seen anything you didn't like to eat. Han Du smiled, seeing through An Qing's little plan and not exposing it.
He just smiled casually and said, "Even if you want to stay and eat, you won't be able to finish it."
"This princess can finish it. The worst thing is to put it away and eat it slowly." An Qing straightened his back immediately, his beautiful eyes shining brightly, looking as smart as me.
Han Du chuckled and explained: "This thing can only be kept fresh for two days at most. If it is not eaten within two days, it cannot be eaten again. Do you think it is so much that you can finish it within two days? ?”
"Ah? Is that so?" An Qing suddenly ran out of ideas.
The roe of a sturgeon can account for a quarter or even a third of the weight of the entire fish. This sturgeon weighs dozens of kilograms, so the roe alone weighs nearly twenty kilograms. There was so much, it was impossible for Anqing alone to finish it in two days. Even if she eats every day, she can't eat so much.
An Qing was obviously aware of this problem, but she suddenly thought and immediately interrupted Han Du's hand reaching for caviar. Said: "Such a good thing, naturally I want to give it to the father, the emperor and the queen. It is just right to put it away and bring it to the palace tomorrow."
When Han Du heard that it was going to be given to Lao Zhu, he immediately became unhappy. Lao Zhu was so embarrassed that he never even took a bite of the fish he cooked. Why should he be given this food? Could it be that just because he is the emperor?
Really just because Lao Zhu is the emperor!
An Qing's next words made Han Du stop chewing. "My mother told me today that she said that my father took away your title as a last resort. Let you wait with peace of mind. After a while, after the matter has passed, your father will restore your title. Now if I give my father Sending these good things, if my father is happy with them, maybe your title will be restored?"
"Humph~" Han Du stopped eating, sat down as if frustrated, looked at An Qing and said coldly: "It's not that easy..."
Han Du originally thought that Lao Zhu's purpose of seizing his title was not so simple as what everyone saw. But Han Du was just guessing, but he had no way to tell An Qing.
Seeing how excited she was, I had no choice but to comply with her wishes. He nodded and said, "Okay, then ask someone to cook some vegetables for me. I'm not full yet. What should I do if I'm hungry in the middle of the night?"
"Okay, husband." An Qing jumped up happily and shouted toward the door: "Come here, tell the kitchen to cook some vegetables and bring them over."
...
The next day, Anqing happily entered the palace with caviar. An Qing went to Cining Palace first. After all, she also knew that her father would attend the morning court starting from 10 o'clock. Even if he went, he would not be able to see him. It would be better to go see his mother.
When Queen Ma heard from the eunuch beside her that An Qing was coming, Queen Ma was still a little confused. Although Anqing could enter the palace to visit his father, emperor and empress at any time, and the distance was not far, it would only take a short time to get there by carriage. But when she actually entered the palace, there were not many. On average in a year, the number of times she took the initiative to enter the palace was only about once a month.
After all, Anqing now has a consort and children. She can't hang around her father, emperor and mother all day long. She also has to raise her husband and raise her children.
According to common sense, if her father, the emperor, and her mother only went to the Han Mansion to see her yesterday, An Qing would not come to the palace to see her today.
However, Queen Ma was just stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "Let her in quickly."
An Qing then walked into the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
Queen Ma saw An Qing followed by four maids, each holding a porcelain cup in their hands. Originally, Anqing had a total of eight porcelain cups, but after hearing from Han Du that these things had the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin for women, she directly withheld half of them and only brought four to honor her father, emperor and mother.
"Shura Martial God"
Empress Ma smiled and said, "The Queen will be very happy that you can come to the palace to see the Queen. What else can you bring to the Queen? Is there anything that the Queen doesn't have in the palace?"
An Qing stepped forward, hugged Queen Ma's arm, shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "This thing really doesn't exist here."
"Oh? What exactly is it? Open it and let me see it." Queen Ma said with a smile.
"Let me do it." An Qing stepped forward quickly, took a porcelain cup from the hand of the palace maid, slowly opened the lid, and showed the caviar inside to his mother.
Queen Ma took a look and saw that this thing was black and shiny. She had never seen it before. He couldn't help but look up at An Qing and asked, "What is this?"
"This is called caviar." After saying that, An Qing couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, scoop out a spoonful, put it in his mouth and closed his eyes to enjoy it.
After slowly finishing a spoonful, she opened her eyes, handed the caviar to her mother, and said, "My mother, please try it too. This is a truly supreme delicacy, very delicious."
"Really?" Queen Ma looked at it suspiciously, but did not eat it.
Instead, he looked at An Qing and asked meaningfully: "Where did this thing come from?"
"Uh?" An Qing was immediately asked by his mother, recalling what Han Du had said in his mind. "You must make your father and mother like to eat this thing, but you can't tell your father and mother where this thing comes from."
"Why?" An Qing couldn't figure it out at the time. Is there anything shameful about this thing?
Han Du put his hand on her forehead, gave her a gentle shudder, and said: "Are you stupid? If everyone knows where this thing comes from, how can we make money? I'm going to get this thing to the seafood restaurant If you sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money.”
The seafood restaurant that Han Du opened in partnership with Tang and Li Wenzhong has now become the top restaurant in the capital. Seafood Restaurant is now almost the favorite place to eat among dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the capital. Such people all have one thing in common, that is, they are not short of money. Even though there are three separate accounts, this seafood restaurant is still a golden chicken laying golden eggs in the Han family. I don’t know how many people are looking at it with greed.
An Qing suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard that Han Du said he wanted to sell this thing at a seafood restaurant. As long as she can make money for the house, she is happy.
"Then why do you want both the emperor and the queen to like it?" An Qing didn't understand.
Han Du smiled and said: "Because I found that in the Ming Dynasty, there is the power of up and down. What is good above is what is good below. As long as the news that the father, the queen, and the queen like to eat caviar spreads, you will see, very Soon the princes and ministers will also like it, then there will be dignitaries, and then there will be those wealthy businessmen who have too much money to spend. And I just want to make money from these people."
After listening to Han Du's deception, An Qing rushed into the palace excitedly early in the morning.
Now when asked by his mother, An Qing didn't know how to answer. He made a fool of himself in front of his mother and said with a smile: "Oh, my queen, just try it. Once you taste it, you will know that I really didn't lie to you. This is really a supreme delicacy."
Empress Ma chuckled, and then said, "Okay, then give it to the Queen Mother to taste."
"Okay." An Qing scooped up a full spoonful and put it into the queen's mouth, and said, "The queen wants it with her teeth first, bites them one by one, and then tastes the taste."
Queen Ma was stunned for a moment, and then started eating according to An Qing's instructions. Indeed, a series of popping sounds came out of the mouth, and a special fruity aroma echoed in the mouth.
After finishing the meal, Queen Ma immediately sighed: "It is indeed a supreme delicacy. I have never tasted such delicious food in so many years."
