Chapter 128

After tasting the steamed buns and pancakes, the palace people brought other foods one after another.

These taste good, especially some dishes made of sweet potato flour, which are quite popular. The hot and sour noodles, everyone is very happy.

"This is delicious, the taste is very special, why does it feel like Tingyu Pavilion's dishes?" The emperor ate the hot and sour noodles in the small silver bowl, and he was puzzled after praising.

"Is there chili pepper in here? Where did Xiao Qi get the chili pepper?"

When the emperor asked, Bai Mengjin suddenly realized that she seemed to have exposed something.

At present, peppers are only grown on the Zhuangzi in Chuzhou, and they are only provided for Tingyu Pavilion, and there are absolutely no other places.

She was only focused on making delicious food, but she forgot about it.

"Ahem, that chili, also called pepper, is very good for seasoning when cooking. I cultivated it slowly when I was in Chuzhou."

Bai Mengjin was slightly embarrassed, how could she have thought that the emperor had also eaten Tingyu Pavilion's dishes?Well, it seems that I accidentally fell off the horse again.

"Oh? This chili was actually cultivated by Xiaoqi?" This time it was the emperor's turn to be surprised.

"It seems that the last time you were appointed as the princess and held a banquet in the mansion, I heard that Yu Pavilion closed down and the shopkeeper brought all the cooks and staff to the Duke's mansion for a banquet. This is the first time I heard of it."

The emperor looked at Bai Mengjin with a look of inquiry.

Tingyu Pavilion's dishes are exquisite and unique in taste, which is unique in the capital. I don't know how many restaurants are envious of Tingyu Pavilion's booming business.

One of the main reasons is that Tingyu Pavilion has a very special seasoning, chili.

The taste of this chili is peculiar, you may not be able to accept it when you eat it at first, but once you get used to it, the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it, and you will miss it if you don’t eat it for three days, so the business of Tingyu Pavilion is really booming.

Those who saw that Tingyu Pavilion's business was doing well and wanted to follow suit tried their best to find peppers, but they couldn't find any, so they could only watch Tingyu Pavilion make a lot of money, and they all stared blankly.

Hearing that Yuge's business is booming and famous, how can the emperor not know about it?Every few days, Chen Zhong would go to Tingyu Pavilion to order some dishes and come back to let the emperor satisfy his greed.

There was also that clever servant, so he specially went to inquire about this pepper, thinking of getting some into the palace, and let the royal chefs in the palace cook for the emperor, so as to save himself from going to Yuge to order dishes every time, and sending them all the way. inconvenient.

But Ting Yuge's tone was very tight, no matter whether it was threats or lures, they couldn't get any news.

Hearing from Bai Mengjin that the pepper came from Zhuangzi in Chuzhou, the emperor immediately thought of some key points.

"Could it be that the peppers in Tingyu Pavilion come from your Zhuangzi? Xiaoqi has a deep relationship with Tingyu Pavilion."

"Well, there is some origin. The peppers from my village are only for Tingyuge's family." He had already guessed it, and Bai Mengjin didn't deny it, and nodded directly.

"Queen, listen quickly, it turns out that this chili pepper was cultivated by Xiao Qi, you niece, it's really not easy."

After being surprised, the emperor laughed, and looked at Bai Mengjin with a little more appreciation and joy. What a beautiful girl, smart and capable, she really matches Song Yucheng.

The queen was sitting next to the emperor, how could she not hear the conversation between the emperor and Bai Mengjin?I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses. "Xiaoqi, is this chili pepper also a seed from overseas?"

"Yes, there are not only peppers, but also other things. I didn't think about it that much when I was young, but I just thought it was interesting. I fiddled with it and planted it on Zhuangzi, and I grew a lot of things.

It happened that Chuzhou sent a lot of things a few days ago, and they were all piled up in the warehouse. Later, I picked some novel ones and sent them to the palace. "

There are a lot of things she has tinkered with over the years. Chuzhou sent over a dozen cars before, and it is said that there will be more in the future.

Why does she keep so many things?Do you want to eat until the year of the monkey?They are all fresh items that cannot be seen outside, and it is best to keep them as gifts.

Anyway, he has already lost his horse, so he should be open-minded, not hide or hide, and make it public to the public, what are we afraid of?
"If the official family likes spicy food, I will send some peppers to the palace another day, and it is Xiaoqi's filial piety to the official family.

Find a piece of land here next year, and it will be more diverse, so the officials will not have to worry about having nothing to eat. "Bai Mengjin said very generously.

The existence of pepper, in fact, can not be hidden for long.

In the past few years, Tingyu Pavilion has been the champion, and I don't know how many people have coveted it. I just took the opportunity to dedicate it to the palace.

Don’t be afraid even if chili peppers become popular in the future, Tingyu Pavilion’s dishes will also keep pace with the times, and others will not be able to learn the essence.

"Since it's Xiaoqi's filial piety, then I won't be polite to you." The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this, and he was in a good mood.

"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, eat more. These dishes are not commonly seen today. Princess Huai'an doesn't have so much time to come and give pointers."

The conversation between the emperor and Bai Mengjin, people who are closer can still listen to it at random, but everyone who hears it, there is no one who is not stunned.

The peppers used in Tingyu Pavilion come from Zhuangzi, the princess of Huai'an?Does Tingyu Pavilion have such a relationship with Princess Huai'an?
Oops, isn't it right? It seems that it's not just as simple as supplying seasonings. Could this princess of Huai'an also be the owner of Tingyu Pavilion?

Those who are so thoughtful will think of the matter of Tianxiang Pavilion. Princess Huai'an bought a share with a secret recipe, accounting for [-]% of Tianxiang Pavilion.Will this Tingyu Pavilion be the same?

"Bai Xiangye really gave birth to a good daughter. She has superb medical skills, can make incense to make money, and can farm land. It's amazing."

Shi Mingyuan looked at Bai Zongzheng who was surprised and delighted beside him, and felt that the hot and sour powder in front of him could not be swallowed, it was too sour, and the sour taste made him uncomfortable.

How many good deeds did Bai Zongzheng do in his previous life, to get such an outstanding and capable daughter in this life?All the young ladies in the capital can't compare to the Bai family's Qiniang alone, it's simply impossible.

"However, these are small ways. In my dynasty, I pay attention to scholars, and women are also proud of being proficient in poetry and painting. Playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting are indispensable qualities for women.

Lord Bai, you see that there are so many rich ladies who have their own strengths, why don't you let Seventh Lady have a try? "

Shi Mingyuan was almost sour. He didn't have so many scruples at the moment. He was just deliberately causing trouble for Bai Zongzheng, deliberately embarrassing Bai Zongzheng and his daughter.

Bai Zongzheng was in high spirits, when he heard Shi Mingyuan say that, he was taken aback for a moment.

"What does the Prime Minister mean by this? Who stipulated that women must be proficient in poetry and prose, and be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? These are just pastimes to cultivate their temperament. How can they help the country and the family?

Boudoir women have nothing to do when they are free. What fun do they have besides reciting poems, playing the piano and painting?Our Xiaoqi is different, she has too many things to do, and she is not one of those idle ladies. "

Bai Zongzheng couldn't listen to others belittle his daughter, so he exploded on the spot.
