Chapter 625 That bowl of soup
Guiyi Yangyuan Soup is also called Jiuyi Soup. As the name suggests, it is a soup made from nine kinds of soups.
Different soups have different tastes, and being able to combine nine kinds of soups is a test of the chef's craftsmanship.
And the soup that Yongchang County Lord likes is even more different. Each soup requires 18 kinds of precious materials to be boiled, and only one bowl of head soup is used.
After the nine kinds of soup are combined, they should be simmered with good silver charcoal. The heat and timing should be just right. Anything that goes wrong will affect the final product.
Even the King of Free and Easy, he has never tasted it.
When he was born, Yongchang County Master had already left Wanning City, that is, since then, people in the world have said that there is no real Jiuyi soup in the world.
Later, he heard that there was an imperial chef in the palace who was very good at making Jiuyi soup. When he was young, he also asked his father and emperor to try it.
His father scolded him especially harshly.
Later, the father suddenly became irritable and faint, and the prince and brother were imprisoned. At that time, he was still an ignorant young man, and he could not protect himself in the turbulent court situation.
Later, his father was killed by an eunuch, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. He also buried a hidden illness in that palace change, and later, a pair of legs was directly abolished.
After learning that he had a broken leg, he locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone. The imperial brother who had a firm foothold in the court went to see him, fearing that he would be short-sighted, and asked him if he could ask for something.
He begged for two things. One was to allow him to train a secret team, the size of which was comparable to that of his sister-in-law.
Brother Huang didn't frown, he responded on the spot.
The second thing is to drink a bowl of authentic Guiyi Yangyuan soup.
Brother Huang's eyebrows were so wrinkled that they could catch a fly, and his face was filled with an expression called reluctance.
But in the end, the bowl of soup was put in front of him, and it was given to him by the elder brother himself. At that time, King Xiaoyao only thought that it was the best bowl of soup he had ever drank in the world. At the tip of the nose, it jumped from the tip of the nose into the throat, and finally warmed into the stomach.
Because he never drank that bowl of soup, King Xiaoyao never doubted whether that bowl of soup was authentic. .
It was not until many years later that King Xiaoyao learned from the retired royal chef that he was also drinking Jiuyi soup, but it was not the so-called Guiyi Yangyuan soup.
The meaning of guiyi is the meaning of ninety-nine-one, but the emperor has brewed 9 kinds of ordinary soups, poured them together, and finally prepared the strange taste.
Of course, it is also delicious, but according to the words of the royal chef, it is the difference between genuine and fake.
Years later, King Xiaoyao also attacked from the side, hoping to learn the truth from the emperor's brother, but after the emperor's brother found out, he didn't look at all guilty, and said to him: "It's really not the kind that Yongchang County Master once drank. Soup, but it's not a big hindrance, after all, what you want to drink is not the soup that requires a lot of expensive ingredients, but just a sip of nostalgia and a sip of faith."
After that day, he was completely persuaded by the imperial brother.
He also admires the emperor very much. It is true that in those days when his legs were crippled, all the King of Free and Easy needed was a thought to live.
Later, the Queen's Wife told him: "You just listen to him, he just loves the medicinal ingredients and is stingy."
Even if you are as extravagant as royalty, you would not dare to make that kind of soup at will.
The ingredients used by Yongchang County Master can still be sold, even in short supply.
But the ingredients used by the royal family must not be made like this, and it should not make people think that the royal family is going to fall.
comes to mind here. Xiaoyao Wang's mind was even more complicated.
Could it be that after many years, he will drink a fake again?
