Chapter 306: 【305】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 156 (3 Updates)
When Yan Qing had delivered the tofu pudding, Spicy Soup, and thousand-layer pancake, along with Xiao Yu’s homemade spicy cabbage, dried radish, and kelp as side dishes to the Imperial Palace for the Father Emperor and brothers to taste after the morning court session, both were conquered by the unadorned and pure flavors.
Tofu pudding, also known as soft tofu, was not something they hadn’t eaten in the palace; still, it was rare to have it prepared so delightfully sour and spicy as she did.
Knowing that the Father Emperor couldn’t handle spicy food, a bit of light soy sauce and sesame oil were drizzled on top, and sprinkled with coriander and scallion for garnish—even such a simple dish had made the Emperor, who had not had a good appetite for a long time, commend it with a few rare words of praise.
Yan Mo was even more exaggerated, not only did he drink a bowl of Spicy Soup, but he also had a bowl of tofu pudding with normal seasoning, and even ate two large pieces of thousand-layer pancake. As he belched, he did not forget to ask his younger brother, "Are you going to deliver food for us at noon too?"
Yan Qing, secretly pleased for having skipped class in the morning without being punished, couldn’t help but laugh and cry at his elder brother’s sudden question, "What would you like to eat?"
"I’m not picky. As you can see, whatever you bring, I’ll eat. If you deliver meals every day, I can excuse you from your morning court lessons."
Yan Qing had long been tired of attending the early morning court and getting up at the third watch, weary to death. It was better to go to that girl’s place—filling his stomach and getting to see her, killing two birds with one stone. He readily agreed and then looked to the Emperor, "Father Emperor, what about you?"
"Do as you see fit." Isn’t that obvious? You’re delivering to your brother, how could you not send some to your old man?
There was still some food left over from the morning meal, which Yan Mo immediately rewarded to the hardworking Chief Eunuch, who had served the Father Emperor his whole life and was still assisting him. Both brothers greatly respected him, and with such delicious food, it was only natural to share. Soon, there was another person in Qianqing Palace conquered by Xiao Yu’s dishes.
In fact, these dishes were not luxurious, but they had a satisfying pleasure to them. So could you say that the Emperor and Crown Prince’s meals were not good?
No, it was because they were too good that they lost the genuineness of home-cooked meals. With too many varieties, you don’t know what to eat, and every dish seems to taste the same, losing the interest in eating. When the food in front of you is simple and novel, that’s when it captures your attention.
True delicacies don’t care about how glamorous they appear; what matters is whether they suit your stomach.
Just like Yan Qing, he wanted to drink Spicy Soup and eat rice and stir-fried dishes because he liked them. But speaking of all the delicacies in the palace, which one left a lasting impression on him?
After spending a couple of hours in the palace, Yan Qing hurried back.
On the other side, Xiao Yu had already started preparing the noon meal. To prevent regulars from getting tired of her noodle dishes like Yan Qing did, she also planned to serve rice today.
As for stir-fried dishes, she followed her previous approach to Big Pot Dish, making six dishes and one soup. The soup was not nori egg drop soup, but egg soup with enoki mushrooms, tofu skin, and an egg; thick and rich, it looked tempting. Sold for three cents a bowl, she wouldn’t deliver—because of the generous ingredients, delivery would mean a loss.
The rice was not served in a bowl, but on a plate, which was then covered with a vegetable topping—this was the precursor to rice with a vegetable gravy.
This novel way of eating naturally caught everyone’s attention upon its debut.
Their rice was not made with just rice but combined millet, millet, rice, and soaked soybeans, resulting in a balanced steamed bean rice.
