Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Ying Zheng and the others were stunned for a moment.
Immediately, his expression became extremely strange.
What did he mean by 'the food they made is also for human consumption?”
"Your Majesty, perhaps you haven't eaten the food in the kitchen for so many years." Wang Ben explained.”
"In this world, the chefs of Xianyang Palace are the most skilled in cooking.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Quji nodded.
"If the food they make is not delicious, there is nothing delicious in the world.”
Ying Zheng sighed slightly.
It seemed that…he had indeed neglected the lives of his children too much in the past.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng waved at Little Peach.
"Your name is Little Peach, right?"
"Yes, High Emperor."
"Hmm…What has His Majesty eaten and drunk all these years?”
Faced with Ying Zheng's question, Little Peach did not hide anything.
"Replying to the High Emperor, in the early years, His Majesty had personally taken action. Later on, when Little Peach was almost done learning, this matter was handed over to Little Peach.”
"I see…"
Ying Zheng nodded, feeling even more guilty.
Zhao Tuo should be the first one who needed to solve the problem of eating by himself.
Under Zhao Tuo's forceful request, Meng Yi was ultimately unable to go to the kitchen.
"Little Peach, just make two dishes that go with wine.”
"Hmm…"
Little Peach nodded obediently and turned to leave.
Zhao Tuo called Lu Bu over.
"Fengxian, bring out a jar of wine from zhen's wine cellar.”
"Understood!"
Ying Zheng and the others looked at Zhao Tuo strangely.
Good heavens, there was wine?
Could it be that this was also brewed by him?
"Heh heh…High Emperor, everyone, you probably don't know, right?”
"Your Majesty's wine!" Wang Ben chuckled.”
"Have you tasted it?" Meng Yi asked.
"Of course! This wine was personally brewed by His Majesty. Its fragrance far surpassed the imperial wine in the court. The taste was superb!”
Looking at Wang Ben's expectant and smug expression, Ying Zheng couldn't help but get angry.
"Humph, General Wang, you drunkard can't have been bribed by this wine, right?”
“……”
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the smile on Wang Ben's face froze instantly, causing Meng Yi and Feng Quji to burst into laughter.
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
This should be the most lively meal he had eaten in the past 18 years, right?
Smoke rose from the side hall that Zhao Tuo had personally renovated.
Soon, Lu Bu returned with a pile of wine jars that were still sealed with mud.
On the other side, Little Peach also served a few simple dishes.
cumin mutton, fried eggs with green onions, stir-fried silkworm pupa, stir-fried peanuts, preserved egg tofu;
There were many dishes, but they were all simple to make and could go with wine.
It was also one of the few home-cooked dishes that Zhao Tuo usually ate.
However, for people like Ying Zheng and Meng Yi who were born and raised in Great Qin, the dish before their eyes was truly…shocking.
"Fragrant…very fragrant!"
"Why have I never seen these dishes before? What was the method? Why is it so tempting?"
"Your Majesty, this is…a silkworm cocoon? Isn't this a bug?"
"I recognize all these things, but Your Majesty…forgive me for being blind, but what is this white thing?”
"If you continue to talk nonsense, the dishes will be cold.”
Zhao Tuo sat at the head of the table. He picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.
Now the Great Qin Dynasty is divided into two groups.
Fortunately, Little Peach had made a large amount of food this time. Otherwise, it would not have been enough for everyone to share.
Seeing Zhao Tuo move his chopsticks, everyone no longer stood on ceremony.
They couldn't help but pick up all kinds of dishes and put them into their mouths.
Instantly, exclamations rang out.
"This mutton is soft and fragrant. It also has a special spice flavor. It's delicious!”
"I didn't expect the silkworm pupa to be so fragrant and delicious even though it looks disgusting.”
"Hmm…it's incomparably soft and tender, melting in my mouth. I've tasted all the delicacies in the world, but I've never eaten something like this before.”
"Your Majesty, these should be peanuts, right? Was it salt outside? It was actually so uniform and delicate. How did he do it?”
Facing the waves of exclamations, Zhao Tuo calmly raised his wine cup.
"Come, let's go!"
“？”
Even though he wasn't too sure what exactly Zhao Tuo meant by " leave one ".
However, everyone still picked up their wine cups.
Gulp...
As the strong liquor entered their throats, a strong spiciness and mellow wine fragrance exploded in everyone's mouths.
"Good wine!"
"General Wang is not lying to me!"
"It's still the same smell! This is what a man should drink."
"This wine is actually even more mellow and strong than the fine wine that I have treasured! Quickly…refill my cup!"
The clear and translucent wine flowed as Lu Bu carried his stall and filled everyone's glasses again.
Ying Zheng took another mouthful and directly swallowed it.
"Hiss…Ha, very good! Very good, hahahaha!"
Feeling the warm current from the tail and the spicy and mellow wine fragrance, Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
It was as if the haze of the past few days had been swept away.
"Imperial Father, don't be too hasty. This wine is much stronger than Great Qin's wine.”
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, I won't fall even after drinking a thousand cups. Speaking of which…can Tuo 'er tell Imperial Father?”
"What is so magical about the dishes on this table? Why was it so much more delicious than what the chef made?”
Regarding this, Zhao Tuo simply explained,""It's nothing. It's just that the method of production is different.”
"Using an iron pot that is different from a cauldron, frying it with oil, and adding in the seasonings that I made myself, the taste is naturally not something that the food steamed and stewed in Great Qin can compare to.”
"As for the wine…the craftsmanship is different.”
"Oh ~"
Everyone seemed to understand.
However, Feng Quji immediately asked,"Your Majesty, I heard from Lord Meng that these grains are called peanuts? And those white things, what were they?”
"These, peanuts…"
Swoosh!
Zhao Tuo was just about to explain when something happened!
The originally blue sky instantly became extremely dark.
In Zhao Tuo's line of sight, Ying Zheng and the others who were eating and drinking had disappeared without a trace.
What replaced it was a muddy land.
The rain was torrential, and the land was filled with hungry people…
There were also countless withered, skull-like figures swaying in the rain.
Looking at it with the Aura Gazing Technique, apart from the rain, the world was also filled with a grayish-yellow airflow that represented despair and hunger.
"What…is going on…"
Zhao Tuo's face was pale.
Faced with such a sudden and strange situation, even the most steady person would inevitably lose their composure.
Fortunately, the terrifying scene in front of him came and went quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Ying Zheng and the others appeared before him again.
The blue sky was still the same.
The delicacies and wine were still the same as before.
Everything…seemed to be just an illusion.
