"Humph! The food in the Fuma's residence was indeed better than the food in the palace. If you didn't believe it, then forget it, because that was the Fuma's cooking.”Ying Yuanman said coquettishly.
"Fuma knows how to cook?" Fu Su asked in surprise.
"Of course, the dishes made by the Fuma are delicious.”Ying Yuanman said proudly.
"I'm convinced. Was there anything in this world that the Fuma didn't know?”Fu Su exclaimed.
Fu Su admired Meng Yu from the bottom of his heart. Meng Yu was only a year older than him, but he felt that Meng Yu seemed to be omnipotent and capable of everything.
"Your Majesty, Prince Consort is outside the shop!”
A eunuch suddenly reported.
"Ah! The Fuma is here!"
Hearing this, Ying Yuanman felt extremely excited and quickly ran out.
"Fuma, why are you here?" Ying Yuanman said enthusiastically.
"I came to see mother. How is mother?”Meng Yu asked.
"Not too good." Ying Yuanman said worriedly.
"Mother, what illness did she get?" Meng Yu asked.
"It seems to be anorexia. In short, I have no appetite and can't eat.”Ying Yuanman said.
As they spoke, Meng Yu and Ying Yuanman entered the room.
"Brother-in-law!"
Seeing Meng Yu enter the room, Fusu stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Your Majesty, how is Mother?”
Meng Yu came before Ying Zheng and said.
"The imperial physician said that she has anorexia, but the imperial physician has no way to treat this illness.”Ying Zheng said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. I'm guessing that Empress Mother simply has a bad appetite.”Meng Yu said.
"Consort Zheng indeed has no appetite and doesn't want to eat anything. Do you know the reason?”Ying Zheng said.
"This official thought that it might be because mother felt that the food was not delicious and difficult to swallow, so she had no appetite.”Meng Yu said.
"How can the dishes cooked by the royal chefs in the palace not taste good?”
"Moreover, Consort Zheng eats all kinds of delicacies.”
Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, you will get sick of eating too many delicacies. Sometimes, you should eat lighter ones.”
"Your Majesty, I need to borrow the kitchen of Hua Yang Hall. I want to personally cook a dish for mother to taste.”Meng Yu said.
"Alright." Ying Zheng nodded.
Meng Yu left the room and went to the kitchen of the Palace of Hua Yang.
In the palace, there was a special place called the imperial kitchen. It was the place where the King of Qin cooked. The King would eat in the imperial kitchen every day. In the palace of each concubine, there was also a kitchen for the Princess Consort to cook.
Meng Yu came to the kitchen. He planned to make tomato scrambled eggs today.
Tomato scrambled egg was the most common home-cooked dish, but in the Qin Dynasty, people couldn't eat this kind of dish.
Because, in the Qin Dynasty, there was no food like tomatoes.
The ingredients for tomato scrambled eggs were tomatoes, eggs, onions, and green peppers.
Chili peppers didn't exist in the Qin Dynasty.
The food in the Qin Dynasty was mostly light and tasteless.
Moreover, there was no peanut oil in the Qin Dynasty, only soybean oil and pork fat.
More importantly, the salt of the Qin Dynasty was coarse salt, and there was no refined salt.
The grains of coarse salt were relatively large. It was basically made by directly drying it in seawater. The coarse salt had a yellowish color and contained many minerals. The vegetables stir-fried with coarse salt would be astringent and bitter.
The food of the Qin Dynasty was mainly boiled, stewed, and steamed, with stir-fried and deep-fried as supplements. There were not many ingredients, and the raw materials were not good either. Therefore, the food of the Qin Dynasty was generally very unpalatable and difficult to swallow.
Meng Yu immediately bought the ingredients for the tomato scrambled egg from the system store. Then, they began to cook.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes was a very simple dish. After a while, his scrambled eggs with tomatoes were ready.
Meng Yu placed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on a plate and placed it on the table in Mrs. Zheng's room.
A rich fragrance filled the room.
"It's scrambled eggs with tomatoes! This is my favorite dish."
Ying Yuanman's eyes lit up when she saw the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table. She was about to drool.
In the past, she had never felt that the food in the palace was unpalatable. However, ever since she had eaten the food made by Meng Yu, she felt that the food in the palace was too unpalatable. It was simply difficult to swallow.
These few days, she stayed in the palace to accompany her mother. She had been eating the food in the palace and was about to vomit.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? What a strange name. What are tomatoes?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.
Looking at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the plate, Ying Zheng was very surprised. In this dish, he could only recognize eggs and onions, and nothing else.
"Tomatoes are a type of food that came from the west.”Meng Yu said.
"Then what is this green thing?”Ying Zheng asked again.
"This is chili, a food from the west.”Meng Yu explained.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, is it delicious?”Ying Zheng said.
"You'll know once you let mother taste it.”
Meng Yu said with a smile.
He was quite confident in his Tomato Scrambled Eggs. This dish was definitely the most delicious in Great Qin.
