The East Palace kitchen is very lively at this moment.

I heard that the Crown Princess wanted to cook in person, and a group of big-sleeved and round-waisted chefs stood in a row, all of whom were on standby at any time.

Generally speaking, ladies and ladies from various residences "cook in person" always stand by the stove, move their mouths, and ask the chef to prepare vegetables and cut vegetables into the pot. Then, before the food is out of the pot, they stir the shovel for a few times to taste the taste, which is considered cooking in person.

The chefs in the kitchen thought the Crown Princess would be like this, but they never expected that the Crown Princess would get it?

I could only hear the sound of "Duoduo" cutting vegetables in a very rhythmic manner, the dark and plump black fungus were cut into shreds, the fragrant mushrooms were cut into equal pieces, the bright red peppers were thin and the white and tender tofu was as thin as hair...

The chefs of the East Palace were dumbfounded: This knife skills... seem to be better than them?!

At first, Tao Ti just wanted to come to the kitchen to find out how the Dayuanchao, which did not exist in Chinese history, developed in terms of diet, and did not plan to cook today.

But when she saw that the configuration of the kitchen was almost the same as that of modern times, there were all kinds of pots in wok, stew, steamed pot, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, peppers, corn, peanuts, tomatoes, and onions, which were imported into the later stages of Chinese history. They were also included here, so they couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and started working hard.

What she made was Hu spicy soup now. After eating it for several days, it was light. The birds faded out of her mouth and had to eat spicy food. So the soup was filled with enough pepper and chopped minced peppers.

Some people in the kitchen couldn't stand the domineering spicy taste, so they raised their arms to cover their mouths and noses, and sneezed several times.

The kitchen manager Lao Sun sniffed the pungent and seductive smell and asked carefully, "Crown Princess, have you put too many peppers?"

Tao Ti smiled slightly, "Where is the hot and spicy soup, what you want is this fresh and spicy taste." As he said that, he walked aside and looked at the steamed fried buns in another pot.

Outside the kitchen, Pei Yan smelled an attractive fragrance from afar.

The palace people who were watching the fun outside the kitchen were also immersed in this strange fragrance and did not notice the arrival of the prince.

It was Fu Xirui who deliberately coughed, and the palace people came to their senses and hurriedly greeted Pei Yan.

Pei Yan asked them to get up and called out another little palace servant, "What are you all here to see?"

The man said with his head down, "Go back to Your Highness, the Crown Princess is cooking inside."

Pei Yan was slightly stunned, with thick eyebrows slightly frowned, "She... has she cooked?"

Komiyato, “Yes.”

Pei Yan straightened the corners of his lips, walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, a strong fragrance came to his face, making him feel a little dazed, his throat choked and he couldn't help coughing.

Hearing this movement, the people in the kitchen quickly greeted the prince. Taoti turned around with a spoon and saw Pei Yan with a clear moon and breeze at the door of the kitchen, and was also surprised.

When she came to her senses, she quickly put down the spoon, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked quickly to him, "Your Highness, why are you here? The kitchen smoke is heavy and the peppers are still choking. You can go out quickly."

Pei Yan looked at her and said, "Why are you cooking?"

Tao Ti was about to say "greedy", but before she could speak, a rude voice inserted in, "I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so virtuous and would cook in person? But what's going on? Is it so harsh? Can I eat it?"

Tao Ti was stunned and looked up at the tall man in black behind Pei Yan, frowned, and said, "Who is this? He is so rude."

Pei Yan glanced at Zhan Ping lightly and introduced to Tao Ti, "This is the second son of Wu'an Hou, led by the left guard of the East Palace, Zhan Ping."

It turned out to be the commander of the Eastern Palace.

Tao Ti looked at Zhan Ping. In her memory, she had no holiday with Zhan Ping... So he was so polite to himself, but to commit suicide by taking poison? Alas, I don’t know how long it will take to cleanse the dark history of taking poison...

"It turned out to be the guard Zhan." Tao Ti nodded at him and said, "If you can eat it, you will know if you can eat it."

Zhan flattened his lips and said, "Who can eat it?"

Tao Ti glanced at him and said lightly, "I won't let you eat it."

I choked and turned my face away, who would like to me?

Tao Ti ignored him and looked at Pei Yan, "Your Highness, have you used lunch? I made Hula soup and water-dewed bread, and it will be ready soon. Do you want to try it?"

Pei Yan looked at the clear and bright eyes in front of him and said softly, "Gou has already eaten." After a brief pause, he said, "But Gu wants to taste your skills."

"Okay, then wait a moment, and you'll be done soon." Tao Ti smiled at him and walked back to the stove.

Seeing that the consistency of the soup was almost the same, she took a white porcelain soup bowl and scooped up the soup, sprinkled a layer of tender green onion, and dripped a few drops of golden sesame oil.

The chefs on the side couldn't help but stretched their necks to look at the stove. The soup was not very good. The sticky bowl was not elegant enough, but the ingredients were rich, including golden egg shreds, tofu shreds, scallion shreds, tender lamb, black fungus shreds, and crystal clear vermicelli, steaming and fascinating.

Taoti then fryed the water and sprinkled a layer of chopped green onion and black sesame seeds. Twelve dishes were small and plump, with white and tender surfaces, but the bottom was fried to be golden and crispy.

Tao Ti originally planned to take it back for food, but now Pei Yan is here, she asked more, "Do you want to taste it now, or should you go back to Yaoguang Palace with me and sit down and eat slowly?"

Pei Yan said, "I will follow you back to Yaoguang Palace."

Tao Ti couldn't ask for it, and her smile was bright, "Okay!"

Seeing that the Crown Princess used a bowl of soup and a plate of buns to hook the Crown Prince away, everyone in the kitchen said: The Crown Princess is a good method!

Zhan Ping skipped his lips disapprovingly: You, Your Highness has never eaten any delicacies, so how could you like the sticky soup and buns? That is, Your Highness has a good temper and can't bear to give her face to everyone.

Seeing that there was still some hot soup left in the pot, General Manager Sun scooped a spoonful of it into his mouth, driven by curiosity.

The next second, his big round face froze.

Everyone came forward and talked, "Old Sun, how about it? Is it delicious?"

"Yes, yes, what does it taste like?"

"Oh, what's your expression? The Crown Princess has gone far away anyway. Is it delicious? Let me give you a correct word?"

Mr. Sun swallowed a mouthful of soup from his mouth and sighed, "The meat is so crispy and spicy. After this mouthful, the stomach is hot and comfortable!"

Everyone was surprised: Is it so delicious?

Before they could react, General Manager Sun quickly scooped a bowl of soup with lightning speed, took another piece of sesame cake, and took a bite of sesame cake and soup. He was so spicy that he took a breath, but he didn't stop in his mouth.

Everyone:!!!

If someone reacted quickly, he quickly took a spoon to scoop the soup, and then showed the same expression as Master Sun.

Zhan Ping looked around and twitched his lips: It was just a bowl of soup, so what?

Thinking of this, the spicy and fragrant smell kept drilling into his nose, and he subconsciously glanced at the bowl of Mr. Sun.

Mr. Sun was shocked, and then silently held the bowl and carried it over.

Flatten, "..."

He doesn't care!!!

****

Yaoguang Palace.

Tao Ti opened her bright eyes and stared at Pei Yan opposite her, full of anticipation, "Your Highness, how does it taste?"

Pei Yan tasted the fried bread first, and after taking a bite, the first thing he touched was the soft dough, and then the crisp but not hard bottom. The oily aroma of sesame mixed with the rich filling, and the plump juice bloomed on the tip of the tongue, with a rich aroma, refreshing and not greasy.

The small fried bun was fried. After eating one, he put another into a bowl. He looked casual between his eyebrows and said softly, "This fried bun is crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside, and the taste is very good."

"When I put the filling, I added the beef minced pork, shrimp and fragrant mushrooms, so the taste was even more fresh." Taoti smiled and scooped him a small bowl of Husan soup, "You try this Husan soup again... But don't eat too much, it tastes heavier and has a lot of chili peppers. You have always eaten lightly. I'm afraid your stomach will not be able to bear it, so you can taste it fresh."

Pei Yan took it and took a sip.

The moment the soup enters the lips and teeth, a strong spicy stimulation of the taste buds, and the fragrant soup is thick but not sticky. After savoring the ingredients wrapped in the soup, the tofu is tender and smooth, the fungus mushrooms are soft and chewy, and the tender lamb and pepper are mixed together to enrich the taste.

Seeing that a layer of faint sweat appeared on his smooth forehead, Tao Ti hurriedly handed over a cup of warm water, "It seems that your highness can't eat spicy food. If it's too spicy, don't eat it, so as not to bear it."

"I have never eaten such spicy food before..." Pei Yan took a big sip of water and said, "It's numb and spicy, but I have to say, it tastes very good."

"Then I'll make some non-spicy food for you next time. Look, eat more fried buns, this one is not spicy." Taoti pushed the fried buns to him, and then scooped a large bowl of spicy soup and started drinking it.

Soon, she also sweated all over the body, her cheeks flushed, and her plump lips were a little red and swollen, as if she was wearing a layer of brightly colored mouth fat.

Looking at her red mouth, Pei Yan felt a little hot inexplicably, and his slender eyelashes drooped slightly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

The slightly cool tea water dispelled a little bit of heat. He pulled out a veil from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Wipe the sweat."

Tao Ti put the last bite of Hu La Soup and took the veil with satisfaction, his cheeks were so spicy that it was red, "Thank you."

Pei Yan glanced at the empty soup bowl, and a hint of surprise flashed across his indifferent eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so spicy."

"It's okay." Tao Ti inhaled, fanned her palms and asked casually, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly come to the kitchen?"

Pei Yan did not mention the outrageous rumors, but said indifferently, "I heard that you cooked in person and felt curious, so I went to take a look."

Tao Ti didn't think about it carefully, "Oh" agreed, and then thought about it in her heart for a moment, looking at him carefully, "Your Highness, I have a reluctant request..."

Pei Yan's dark eyes moved slightly and he stared at her, "Hmm?"

Tao Ti whispered, "Just... can I open a small kitchen in Yaoguang Hall?"

Pei Yan, “…”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tao Ti looked at him embarrassedly and explained, "Don't get me wrong. The food made by the imperial chefs tastes very good, but I am a greedy person and like to tinker with things myself when I have nothing to do. The kitchen is a distance from Yaoguang Hall, and it is not very convenient to come and go..."

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's all?"

Tao Ti looked at him calmly, nodded, and said softly, "Well... if it's troublesome, it's okay to not open..."

"You are the Crown Princess, there is nothing wrong with opening a small kitchen."

"Hey, so I can drive it?" Taoti said in surprise.

"Well. Yaoguang Palace originally has a small kitchen. I will give you instructions to let them sort out. If you have anything you want to buy, you can ask the palace people to buy it." Pei Yan showed a slight smile on his lips, which made him look very gentle.

"That's great!" Tao Ti looked at Pei Yan with joy, her clear eyes were as bright as a stream of light, "Your Highness, when the kitchen fires, I will definitely make you a delicious meal first."
