After the game emperor awakens

Fu Xinian tasted the wine, heard that he choked his throat with a sip of wine and coughed several times.

Helian Xi was almost stuck in the throat by a fishbone.

Wang Yiming was so shocked that the chopsticks fell to the ground, and he quickly picked them up again.

Everyone has their own sluggishness.

Wait... What did His Majesty just say?

These two dishes... were made by Her Highness the Queen herself?

No wonder they were shocked.Her Highness the Empress looked like a fairy in white clothes who were not stained with dust and did not eat the fireworks of the world. She did not seem to be able to cook anywhere.Those hands look like those who are playing the piano, writing poems and painting. It is really hard to imagine cooking in the fumes.

Never expected that Her Highness the Queen can not only cook, but also cook so deliciously.As for the squirrel mandarin fish dish, it can be seen that the cooking skills are superb and the knife skills are so good that ordinary people can't learn it.

The most important thing is...how can they be able to eat the dishes cooked by Her Majesty the Queen herself!

For a moment, everyone looked at the wreckage of the table, with a hint of annoyance and solemnity in their eyes.

If I had known that Her Royal Highness was cooking the food in person, they should bathe and burn incense before chewing carefully instead of gobbling it like that.In retrospect, I also feel that the act of grabbing food just now was a bit embarrassing.

But no way, it was so delicious.They are all people raised by rich clothes and fine food, even the poorest Lin Chanzhi eats vegetables grown by himself, and the taste is not bad.It stands to reason that if you are used to eating good things, you won't be so gaffe.But Her Royal Highness's craftsmanship is beyond their cognition.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Xuechao felt satisfied.

Of the more than 20 dishes, only these two were cooked by Lu Xuechao, and the others were all regular court dishes prepared by the royal chef.These two dishes can be singled out and praised, which is enough to prove that Lu Xuechao's craftsmanship is better than imperial cuisine.

If they can pass the test of these heavenly favorites who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, they will not worry about being unpopular when these dishes become popular among the people.

The current processing of ingredients is nothing more than a few simple ones, and the methods are very monotonous and scarce.Food is just for eating, not for enjoying.Not to mention the common people, but they are the aristocratic families who eat a lot of food, that is, there are a few extra dishes and a few extra plates of meat on the dinner table, and the dishes are still the same.Otherwise, Lu Xuechao, who has a tricky taste, would not be forced to develop his own dishes.

Choosing to use restaurants as the start of commercial development is also to improve the happiness index of national life.People regard food as their heaven, and eating just to fill their stomachs is simply a waste of ingredients. Real food should be enjoyed by people.Lu Xuechao's ideal is that after the prosperity of Changli in the future, food can enter thousands of households, with high quality and low price, so that people can enjoy life while having enough food and clothing.

Of course, at the current start-up stage, when money is short, the recipes are only in his hands, and they should be used to make money.

Liu Yansheng was talking politely again: "Your Highness has a body of ten thousand gold, this thank you is too heavy, I cannot afford it..."

But the dishes are really delicious, and I hope to have more.

Xie Chongjin said kindly: "You all serve the country, why can't you bear it? You deserve it, and I will help the queen."

Lu Xue glanced at him strangely.

With such a righteous look, those who didn't know really thought he was very generous.

In fact, Xie Chongjin was so stingy.

When Lu Xuechao was cooking, Xie Chongjin insisted on helping him, saying that he couldn't be the only one to be tired.Lu Xuechao had seen Xie Chongjin's dark cooking before, and didn't think he could help, so she just asked him to pass the seasoning.At any rate, he tried to learn how to cook, so Xie Chongjin wouldn't be able to tell the difference between firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

"Sugar."

"soy sauce."

"Salt."

Basically, whatever Lu Xuechao said, Xie Chongjin handed over whatever, and the whole process was quiet without interruption.

But when Lu Xuechao was ready, Xie Chongjin handed over the vinegar again.

Lu Xue didn't raise her head: "I didn't say I wanted to be jealous."

She didn't care that Xie Chongjin was getting emotional.

Xie Chongjin drank the vinegar himself, frowning with sourness.

All the cooks who were learning how to cook were dumbfounded.

Can vinegar be drunk directly?Why didn't he know that His Majesty still has this habit?

Lu Xue raised her eyes at this moment, and said with a smile: "You can tell if you are jealous, you don't have to torture yourself like this."

I don't know if I should say it bluntly or tactfully, if I want to be so awkward when I am jealous.

A very smart emperor, but he did stupid things in front of him.

Xie Chongjin's mouth was sour: "You used to only cook for me."

Lu Xuechao corrected: "I still cook it for my father and father."

Xie Chongjin said: "That's our father, what do I care about."

Lu Xuechao skillfully thickened the corn: "Now you're fussing again? Liu Yansheng and the others have been working for you for two months. Besides, when Huamanlou opens, there will always be food testers."

"I know, didn't I stop it? I also helped cook for them..." Xie Chongjin avenged his personal revenge, and muttered in a low voice, "Let them rest for three days, and then work for me until death, otherwise I'm sorry to invite them to this meal .”

Lu Xuechao: "..."

So now, hearing Xie Chongjin say "you deserve it", Lu Xuechao really couldn't hold back his smile.

The others didn't know Xie Chongjin's black-hearted calculations. After hearing this, they looked at the table dishes with pious eyes instead of solemn ones.

They even ate the dishes cooked by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Queen.

I feel like my life has reached its peak.

Huayan suddenly thought of something: "His Royal Highness, will these two dishes...will be added to Huamanlou?"

Huamanlou has been redecorated in the past two months, and His Majesty has sent a few royal cooks over, and there are also existing staff, all of whom are male prostitutes from the original building.Everything is ready, just need to open.

Huayan was worried that Huamanlou's business would not be popular.Although the chefs are all at the level of imperial chefs, there are many restaurants in Yujing, most of which are noble properties, and there are many retired master chefs from the palace to cook. This is not special.Huamanlou is backed by the royal family, but the royal family is the master behind the scenes, and Huayan is the boss on the bright side.Lu Xuechao didn't intend to reveal that Huamanlou was the property of the royal family from the very beginning, which meant that there would be no powerful people visiting Huamanlou just to sell the royal family's face.Huayan doesn't think she has any ability to make Huamanlou stand out.

But if you add the two dishes of white jade jade and squirrel mandarin fish...

Huayan can guarantee that it will be popular, it will definitely be popular, and there will be no second one in the whole world.

Lu Xuechao said, "Yes."

Then he said: "After that, Huamanlou will serve two new dishes every month. Before that, I will make them for you to try."

At first, Lu Xuechao only wanted to improve his own food, cooking dishes according to his own taste.But if you want to open a restaurant, it is not enough to take care of his own taste, but also consider the tastes of all people, and then make improvements to develop more cuisines with different flavors.

Everyone: "!!!"

Happiness came so suddenly.

In the next few days, Liu Yansheng, Shen Hezhou, Qin Yulong, and Fu Xinian all took a good rest.On the contrary, Huayan and Wang Yiming became more and more busy.

Because Huamanlou has opened.

Huamanlou is located at the end of Yuhua Street.This street is a well-known aristocratic street. There are silk shops, jewelry shops, restaurants, brothels on both sides of the street...the prices are so high that only dignitaries can afford it.

Too many corrupt officials have been beheaded in the past two months, and those people are often the main source of customers for such occasions. The remaining dignitaries can live in peace during this campaign, and they can basically be called clean.Besides, at this juncture, everyone is pursuing a low-key approach.Therefore, today's Yuhua Street is deserted, and no one patronizes it.

The location of Huamanlou is not good, and it can't compete with other brothels. Huayan, the only one who is so beautiful that she can pose a threat to other brothels, was redeemed early. Since then, there is no one who can support the scene, and there is really no life in the fire.It was renovated behind closed doors two months ago, and it was said that it was going to be converted into a restaurant, and the other house secretly joked.The brothel would have provided wine and food, if the wine and food in the building were good, the business would not be so cold.What can this change?Lost two months of business for nothing.

Unexpectedly, during this period of time, the sky in Yujing has changed, and the entire street has lost business, so it seems that Huamanlou has no losses.

Today, Huamanlou, which had been closed for two months, finally reopened. Bie’s brothel sent a young man to inquire about it to see what it looks like. Anyway, it’s idle anyway, so it’s better to satisfy curiosity.

Other restaurants also sent people to check. In the future, they will all work together on the same street to see if it will hinder their own business.

This is reassuring - Huamanlou is empty, there is not even a babysitter.

In a high-consumption place like Yuhua Street, there would never be a group of people watching, and ordinary people would not even set foot here.As for the dignitaries and dignitaries, His Majesty is strictly investigating corruption, and the limelight has not yet passed. At the moment, each of them is keeping a low profile than the other, not even going out of their homes, let alone stepping into a newly opened restaurant.

The opening day was not chosen well.

What kind of threat can it be if it is so deserted on the first day of opening?

The building was full of flowers, and after the flowers were cut, they waited eagerly for the empty gate.

"When will the distinguished guests His Highness mentioned come?"

In the past two months, the building has been decorated behind closed doors without any publicity.It's useless to publicize it - the imperial court is in turmoil, who cares about the opening of a restaurant?Lu Xuechao simply saved the publicity fee.

Huayan is sure that as long as someone comes and tastes the white jade jade and squirrel mandarin fish, they will never forget it.

But only if someone comes.

The fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and it is purely a dream to expect the popularity to be full without any publicity.

Huayan raised this concern with Lu Xuechao, who only said that there were distinguished guests on the opening day.

So right now the door is deserted, he is not in a hurry, just wait patiently.

But Huayu said worriedly: "Brother Huayan, what should I do if no one comes?"

Huayu is 16 years old this year, she has lost her childishness, and is a handsome young man with thin stature and melancholy eyes.

Because of the shadows she has suffered, Huayu has always been not very cheerful, and she is extremely resistant to that matter.Bustard took pity on him, and when he was 16 years old, he didn't let Huayu pick him up.Don't worry about the shortage but the unevenness, which naturally makes other prostitutes who are old enough to pick up customers a little bit dissatisfied. The bustard only said that he had suffered from your 16-year-old before the age of 16. No one said that. No more objections.

Huayu has been protected by Huayan these years, and after Huayan was redeemed, Huayu became even more melancholy alone in the building.Huayan is back in the building as the new landlord, Huayu is the happiest, even her eyes are much brighter.

Hua Yan said, "No rush, someone will come."

But in fact, he didn't know who would come.

After waiting for a while, a carriage finally appeared at the door, and a middle-aged couple got out of the carriage.

Despite their age, they all look very good.The man in Tsing Yi was handsome and extraordinary, with the calm and majestic demeanor bestowed by the years on his body.The man in white is elegant and refined, and it is not difficult to see how magnificent he was when he was young.

Huayan's eyes lit up, and she quickly got up to greet her.

These two must be the honored guests Her Royal Highness said.

But why does the man in white look so familiar... It shouldn't be, he looks so good-looking, if he has seen it before, how could he not be impressed.

Before he could figure out why, Wang Yiming had skillfully grabbed the job of the waiter, and said enthusiastically, "The two guests are welcome."
