After leaving Huixian Yage, Song Huan did not go back to the palace, but rushed back to the palace while it was still early in the day.
When he thought of what Emperor Liang had told him, Song Huan felt extremely helpless!
"It's just a vassal state coming to court, why bother to mobilize troops like this!"
“I have to design a few new dishes myself to surprise them!”
"Dad, dad, you are a little too flattering to these envoys!"
Although there was resentment in his heart, since Emperor Liang had given the task, Song Huan just followed it.
"Meet Prince Rong!"
In the imperial dining room, all the imperial chefs had already known that Song Huan was coming to give advice, so they waited outside early and did not dare to neglect at all.
Cao An, the manager of the imperial kitchen, was all smiles. He knew that Song Huan was now a popular figure around Emperor Liang, so he was afraid of offending him.
"Oh, Your Highness, you are so rich and precious, but you still have to come to our imperial kitchen, which is full of oil smoke!"
"But if I get your guidance, the skills of the slaves will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!"
Cao An didn't hesitate to praise him, and he flattered Song Huan so loudly that it made Song Huan's skin crawl.
"Stop it!"
"Mr. Cao, I heard from my father that you have sorted out the menu for the Xia Kingdom's envoys?"
Cao An lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
"Your Majesty has already given the order, and the servants dare not neglect it, so they have prepared the menu a long time ago."
"Please take a look at it, Your Highness!"
Song Huan took a look at the list handed over by Cao An, and his eyes immediately widened in surprise!
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Gold and Silver Steam, Hibiscus Crab Roe, Braised Bear Paw, Pearl Jade White Jade Soup...
No matter which menu item you pick out, it is a luxurious royal meal that is expensive and exquisite!
Emperor Liang didn't even like such exquisite dishes, and he was still going to let himself give instructions to these imperial chefs?
Doesn’t this mean that you have to do your own thing and make a fool of yourself!
Seeing the eager and expectant eyes of the imperial chefs, Song Huan could only hide these thoughts for the time being.
You can't let these royal chefs see your own jokes!
Looking at the long menu in his hand, Song Huan's eyes suddenly lit up!
Although I am not good at cooking, I am good at being creative!
Although these princes and princesses from the Xia Kingdom live a life of fine clothing and fine food every day, I guarantee that they have never seen these dishes that they thought of when they were growing up!
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but feel more confident, and he felt a little more confident when he spoke.
"Mr. Cao, these dishes are delicious, but they are too old."
“I keep eating the same thing over and over again, I’m tired of it!”
"Come on, I will tell you some new dishes, please take note of them."
Cao An and the other royal chefs were a little surprised to hear that the prince Song Huan actually knew a lot about food.
"I am willing to listen to His Highness's advice!"
Song Huan cleared his throat and said calmly: "Beef Wellington, French foie gras, black truffle pasta, shrimp baked rice, Portuguese egg tart..."
When this series of Western dishes were announced, all the chefs were dumbfounded!
What Prince Rong said...
Are they all dish names?
Even as Song Huan reported more dish names, these royal chefs began to doubt their lives!
I think that since I was a child, I have studied under the masters of Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang and Hunan. There is no dish that I am not proficient in.
Later, he passed five levels and killed six generals, and entered the very demanding harem to prepare royal meals for the current emperor and his concubines and princes!
No matter how you put it, you can be considered the top being in the Da Liang chef world, right?
But now, facing the many dishes mentioned by Prince Rong, I have never heard of any of them!
At this moment, they felt so ignorant!
"...Okay, let's prepare this much first!"
Song Huan mentioned the names of twenty or thirty Western dishes in one breath, and then he stopped without knowing what he wanted to say.
These Western dishes are all dishes whose raw materials can be found in Daliang.
Although compared to Chinese food, Western food is definitely dwarfed and incomparable.
But there is nothing wrong with letting the Xia State envoy’s eyes shine and experience a new feeling that he has never experienced before!
Cao An was dumbfounded and stammered: "Your Highness, your Highness, I have never heard of these dozens of dishes you mentioned!"
"Please forgive me for my ignorance, but I have to ask His Highness to give you some personal guidance so that my servants can perfectly recreate these dishes!"
Naturally, Song Huan would not embarrass these imperial chefs: "It doesn't matter, most of these dishes are passed down from the continent of Europa."
"You haven't heard of it, that's normal!"
"I will order someone to write down the specific method and send it to you. The royal chefs can make improvements at will."
"In three days, I will come back to inspect the results!"
Although they didn't know what the "European Continent" in Prince Rong's words was, once they heard that these dishes were not something that had ever appeared in Daliang, the royal chefs finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao An regained his bright smile, cupped his hands towards Song Huan and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured!"
"Three days later, the servants will definitely give His Highness a perfect explanation!"
After leaving the imperial dining room, Song Huan couldn't help but come to the vicinity of the imperial hospital.
Ever since she moved to live outside the palace, the "tonics" sent by Empress Shangguan still never failed to arrive and were extremely punctual.
But after not seeing Lu Qianxue for the past two days, Song Huan actually felt a little empty in his heart.
After all, when Lu Qianxue entered the palace, she was the one who pushed for it.
Now I just move out of the palace and leave Lu Qianxue alone in the palace. Thinking about it, it is a bit unreasonable!
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"Why are you here?"
While Song Huan was thinking, he suddenly heard a very familiar call.
He raised his head and met Lu Qianxue's surprised eyes.
In her eyes, besides surprise, there seemed to be a hint of surprise.
Seeing Song Huan seemed to make her very happy.
Song Huan was stunned and quickly explained: "I went to the imperial kitchen to do some errands, and I am about to leave the palace now."
Lu Qianxue nodded, feeling a little disappointed and said: "So, Your Highness, you were just passing by here?"
Is she a little disappointed?
Seeing a trace of loneliness appear on Lu Qianxue's face, Song Huan hurriedly said: "Then what if I say that I am not just passing by here?"
Song Huan's answer was not what he asked, which made Lu Qianxue feel a little happy and a little embarrassed!
Especially when thinking about the real development between the two of them, two red clouds flew up quietly on Lu Qianxue's face.
"Ahem," Lu Qianxue was a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject, "What are you doing in the imperial kitchen for your highness?"
"It's because the chefs in the palace are not good at cooking, why do they want you, the prince, to come to the royal kitchen in person?"
