Chapter 782 Forgot About This Little Thing

For a moment, the room was filled with uneasy tension.

Everyone was worried that Kangxi would feel neglected, and it would be over.

Only Ruoyin and fourth master sat there calmly.

They are always like this, even if they don't talk much, they have a good tacit understanding in their hearts, and they can always think of each other.

Anyway, Ruoyin felt very confident. Although it was a home-cooked dish, there were also many dishes.

In the end it was the emperor, Ruoyin was very careful.

As the head of the house and the main entertainer this time, Ruoyin naturally couldn't care less about eating.

She first said politely: "Huang Ama, there are limited materials in the garden, and my daughter-in-law doesn't have anything to entertain, so I personally cooked a few dishes with the natural ingredients in the garden. Please don't be disgusted."

In any case, she had to let Kangxi feel the filial piety of her and the fourth master, knowing that this was not an ordinary home-cooked dish.

Of course, as far as she is concerned, it may be an exaggeration to say that she is filial piety.

But to be honest, it is her honor to be able to cook for Emperor Kangxi herself.

Upon hearing that Ruoyin cooked it himself, Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "Which dish did you cook?"

"In the case of Huihuang Ama, except for the golden corn bake, sesame pumpkin pie, and pine nut and lily cake, I did not cook the rest of the dishes, and the chicken soup was prepared by me, and the slaves read it. fire."

As he said that, Ruoyin recommended enthusiastically: "Huang Ama, you should drink this chicken stewed with mushrooms first. The chicken is a free-range chicken raised in my own yard, and the mushrooms are stepped on the back mountain. Fresh mushrooms, these two ingredients are slowly stewed in a crock pot, and they taste fresh."

Kangxi didn't speak, but gave Liang Jiugong a look, and a servant served Kangxi a bowl of chicken soup.

After taking a sip, the old man didn't speak.

But he drank a bowl all at once, which was enough to show that he recognized the taste.

Then, he added a few dishes.

Ruoyin kept explaining to him.

It was nothing more than telling him that these vegetables were picked in the garden, and even the pine nuts were picked from the trees.

Chickens and ducks are also free-range in the garden.

Fish and shrimp are also salvaged from the pond.

After Kangxi heard this, he also nodded and ate.

Sometimes a "huh" can be regarded as a response.

The people in the backyard didn't understand why Ruoyin had made a table of cheap dishes, so why he was able to introduce them so confidently.

They didn't even see it!

Not long after, Kangxi had already eaten a bowl of rice.

When the slave served him another bowl of white rice, his eyes scanned the desk, but he didn't seem to find what he wanted, so he took the initiative to ask: "I just heard about crab racing, why didn't I see it?" Are there any crabs on the table?"

Hearing this, Ruoyin looked at Kangxi.

I saw that the other party was staring at the desk in a daze, completely gone from his previous majestic and stern appearance.

Like an ordinary old father who is gluttonous, sweeping away the delicious food on the table.

"This crab is not that crab." Ruoyin held back the smile in his heart, and said embarrassingly, "Actually, it's the scrambled eggs in front of Huang Ama."

"Scrambled eggs?" When Kangxi was unbelievable, the slave had already scooped up a spoonful of Sai crab for him.

"Actually, this dish has a story." Ruoyin nodded and looked at Hongyi, "It's because Hongyi wanted to eat crabs, but the imperial doctor said that crabs are hair, so I thought of a way to use yellow croaker and Eggs are the main ingredient, and some condiments are added to stir-fry the dish. The white fish meat is like crab meat, and the golden egg is like crab roe.

Kangxi gave a "hmm" and turned to look at Hongyi.

It reminded him of when he was a child, he had smallpox.

After recovering from the illness for a while, I was always hungry and wanted to eat this and that.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Aunt Su Ma, and the Empress Dowager would try to make some edible food that would not affect his body.

But now, that time can never go back...

Then, Kangxi ate another bowl of rice just with this bowl of Sai Crab.

Although the slave served him another bowl, Ruoyin felt that the old man should have eaten enough.

I am ready to reveal the last dish.

She made a gesture to Li Fukang, and Li Fukang uncovered the crayfish that had been covered with a copper cover.

Immediately, the room was filled with spicy and delicious smells.

The cover was just lifted, and Kangxi smiled and said heartily: "By the way, I actually forgot that there is this little thing."

Ruoyin could see that when he said this, Kangxi's eyes shone with the gleam of foodies.

She had known for a long time that Kangxi liked to eat crickets, and every time she asked the imperial chef to cook a hundred kilograms at a time.

So, this time, she asked Chef Niu to make a whole hundred catties.

It was placed in a brass carved flower pot.

"My daughter-in-law heard from the fourth master that Huang Ama likes to eat crickets, so she specially ordered the cook to make a big one. However, considering health and hygiene issues, I asked the cook to clean the crickets thoroughly, and also cleaned the dirtiest crickets inside. I picked out the parts, even the gills and shrimp intestines, the method may be different from the one made by the imperial chef, but I don’t know if it suits Huang Ama’s taste.”

I heard that Kangxi had a quirk that he only asked the imperial chef to wash the crayfish once.

The water after washing is not poured out, and it can be reused when cooking, so that the crayfish can be fully absorbed directly.

Just thinking about it made her look pale.

Therefore, she didn't dare to let Chef Niu just do this for Kangxi to eat.

At this moment, Kangxi just ate the cricket and didn't reply to Ruoyin.

But the behavior of eating one after another has exposed his liking for spicy crayfish.

Seeing this, Ruoyin breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, crayfish are Northeast crayfish, but they look like crayfish, but the species is not at the same level.

However, it doesn't matter if it's crawfish or crayfish, she asked Chef Niu to cook them according to the spicy crayfish recipe.

As long as Kangxi is satisfied!

In a short while, Kangxi ate one-third of the food.

In order to make it more lively, fourth master asked the servant to share some with Ruoyin and the others in the backyard.

Those people in the backyard are all ladies, how can they eat this kind of food.

Everyone felt disgusted in their hearts and couldn't finish their mouths. However, Long Live God likes to eat, and they also like it, so just eat one.

Nian Zhilan held onto her love for Fourth Master, and reluctantly allowed herself to eat a few.

It turned out to be... really delicious!

I don't know how long it has passed, but the shrimp shells in front of Kangxi have piled up as high as a mountain.

And his old man's movements were not as fast as before, but slowed down.

At first, Ruoyin thought it was because he was full and a little tired.

She didn't realize something was wrong until Kangxi buried his head lower and lower and his hands trembled slightly.

No way... She wanted Kangxi to remember such an unforgettable moment, to feel the filial piety of her and the fourth master, and to experience the family happiness of an ordinary father for a day.
