of.

Qi Lu frowned and said, "I'm afraid this daughter of the Qi Kingdom is not accustomed to the local environment, and her diet is second to none. Have you asked the medical officer to take a look at her?"

The waiter said with a bitter face: "Hey, the daughters of Qi are so delicate, and we, the medical officers of Mortal Kingdom, are not allowed to come in. I heard that the medical officers of Qi went to see them and prepared the soup, but they still looked the same. We

All I can do is make some appetizing meals, and ask Taifu Qi to save my life!"

Qi Lu nodded and said, "Actually, it's not difficult."

Not difficult?

Isn't this difficult?

However, as soon as the waiter from the Fan Kingdom heard Qi Lu speak, his heart immediately calmed down, and a big stone fell to the ground. He wished that Qi Lu hadn't told him what kind of meal he would cook for the daughter of the Qi State, so he believed it.

And he firmly believes it.

Qi Lu had such a magical power that as soon as he opened his mouth, others would believe him.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "The daughter of the State of Qi has no appetite. It is probably due to the acclimatization. She only needs some appetizing vegetables. And you said that the daughter of the State dislikes greasy, meaty, fishy..."

"Yes, that's right," Fan Guo's chef said, his head got bigger when he mentioned this, "My daughter doesn't eat greasy food. Meat fish is too greasy, and she doesn't eat sea food. She said that we, the state of Fan, can't save sea food..."

Not to mention the greasy and meaty food, whether it is stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed or stewed, Chinese girls cannot eat it and will vomit as soon as they eat it.

Qi Lu said: "It's a coincidence that you're here. Lu developed some snacks a few days ago, and it's just the right time to open the altar today."

Qi Lu heard that the Chinese girl had no appetite, and many sweet and sour foods immediately came to mind, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried pork loin, sweet and sour short ribs, glutinous rice lotus root, hawthorn cake, etc.

Appetizing meal.

It just so happened that Qi Lu had developed some snacks a few days ago. During this winter, he happened to pickle kimchi and pickled some hot and sour radish strips. The pickled radish was sour and slightly spicy. The pickled radish was crisp and delicious, and not a little bit oily.

It's neither oily nor fishy, ​​with a little sweetness, which is really appetizing and refreshing, and because it's pickled, it goes well with rice.

Qi Lu said: "You don't have to worry. I will ask someone to bring you some side dishes as cold dishes. Before the meal, let the country girl eat some cold dishes first to ensure that she is appetizing, and then serve hot food."

Carrot sticks?

The waiter was stunned when he heard such vulgar ingredients. The waiters had used all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. He never thought that such vulgar ingredients could appetize a country girl. However, Taifu Qi was so sure, and the waiter felt that Qi Lu was

The life-saving straws came to me in droves.

Qi Lu asked Gongsun Hua to give a portion of the pickled hot and sour radish strips to Fan Guo Shanfu, who thanked him profusely and left.

Soon it was time for lunch, and the chef of the state of Fan placed the spicy and sour radish strips pickled by Qilu on a delicate tray and delivered them to the house of the daughter of the state of Qi first.

The palace maid was waiting for the food to be handed over. When she saw the baker from the mortal country had brought a load of radish sticks, she was shocked and said, "Are you ordinary people so rude? You are a daughter of the country, and you are using these. A rag is here to fool the country’s daughter? What’s the point of this?”

The waiters failed to bring in the spicy and sour radish sticks, and the palace maid blocked the door. No cold dishes came into the room at all. The waiters were extremely anxious, and feared that they would be accused, so they hurriedly asked Qi Lu for help.

Qi Lu had just finished his lunch and was a little sleepy after eating and drinking. He was thinking about going back to sleep again when the waiter from Fanguo came again. The waiter hurriedly came in and kowtowed, saying: "Master Qi, please help me. Please save the little one again." Serve me once!"

Qi Lu said in confusion: "What, Lu's pickled vegetables don't work?"

The waiter said: "That's not the case, it's just that... the maid of the country's daughter dislikes the cold dishes and side dishes, so... she won't let anyone bring the cold dishes in."

When Qi Lu heard this, he thought there was such an ignorant person? This kind of radish was indeed very common in the Spring and Autumn Period, but who said home-cooked radish strips were not delicious? The spicy and sour radish strips pickled by Qi Lu were definitely delicious, let alone It is used as an appetizer. Even if you just eat it with your mouth, you can eat a lot.

Qi Lu immediately said: "It doesn't matter, Lu will go and have a look."

Qi Lu personally went to the courtyard of the Qi State Mission and followed the waiter to the door of the maid's house. The maid was still scolding the waiter when she saw someone coming in from a distance. She was startled and quickly knelt down and said: "My maid has seen Master Qi!"

Qi Lu waved his hand and said, "Get up."

The palace maid quickly stood up and said, "I wonder what happened to Master Qi? Can my maid please send a message to Master Qi?"

Qi Lu said: "There's nothing wrong with Lu. I just heard that the country girl was in poor health and didn't want to eat, so I made these cold dishes."

The palace maid was shocked and said: "This...is this pickled by Taifu Qi? Taifu, forgive me, Taifu, forgive me! I didn't know that it was Taifu Qi's craftsmanship, so please forgive me!"

The palace maid just tasted a humble radish, but now I heard that it was pickled by Taifu Qi. The humble radish can be turned into a golden radish in an instant.

Qi Lu was very kind and said: "The daughter of the country doesn't want to eat. As the special envoy to welcome the bride, Lu is also very worried. I would like you to send the food in."

"This... is just..." The palace maid still hesitated and said: "Master, you don't know something. In fact... in fact, the lady of the country absolutely hates the pungent taste of turnips, so..."

In the Spring and Autumn Period, radish and turnip were both called radish. In later generations, radish and turnip were distinguished and had their own names. Therefore, the turnip mentioned by the palace maid was actually the radish strips pickled by Qilv. .

Qi Lu smiled and said very proudly: "My daughter doesn't like the taste of turnips. Even if they are cold dishes that have not been pickled by Lu, you can just send them in. If anything happens, Lu will take care of it." Yes."

With Qi Lu's words, the palace maid became bolder and walked in carrying Chengpan.

The daughter of the State of Qi had been waiting for her meal for a long time. Although she had no appetite, she still knew she was hungry. She was hungry in her belly, had no energy in her body, and was dizzy. Because she was not feeling well, she was not in a good mood. The palace maid came in after a while. With a plate of cold food, the daughter of Qi State was about to get angry in an instant.

The daughter of the State of Qi was about to get married, so it was not convenient for Qi Lu to enter the house, so he waited outside the door. Standing outside, he could still hear the voice of the daughter of the State of Qi getting angry, scolding the palace maid: "You can't do anything with your hands and feet." You are not diligent either. After waiting for a long time, you just brought some vulgar cold food. Is there no food left in Fanguo?"

The waiters listened tremblingly, and after waiting for a while, the sounds inside stopped, followed by thumping footsteps. The palace maid hurriedly ran out and said with a look of surprise: "It's done! It's done."

Come on! Taifu Qi’s cold dishes are really amazing. Hurry up, the country’s daughter is passing on the meal!”

The waiters were shocked, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and hurriedly passed the food around. Qi Lu stood aside with a smile, not at all surprised, as if everything was within reason.

After eating Qi Lu's spicy and sour radish strips, the country girl unexpectedly had to pass on the meal. The waiters made a lot of appetizing meals and brought them in one after another, followed by the white rice.

Chinese girls don't like spicy and sour radish strips. After all, they are not good-looking. Moreover, Chinese girls have always hated the slightly sweet but not sweet enough radish. The spicy taste also has some inexplicable irritating taste. Every time after eating, there is still an aftertaste in the mouth.

, the most terrible thing is that if the radish is too spicy, it will cause heartburn and you will not be able to rest for a day.

The country girl didn't want to take a bite of these spicy and sour radish strips at all, but... smelling the spicy and sour aroma, she felt a little appetizing for some reason. Just smelling it, she felt fresh and refreshing, more refreshing than any big fish or meat.

The country girl was eager to move, so she picked up her chopsticks, added a small strip of hot and sour radish, pursed her lips and took a bite.

This bite...

The pickled sourness immediately rushed into the mouth. It was different from the sourness of bitter wine. It stimulated the taste buds. It was sour and slightly spicy, and the radish was sweet. There was no irritating taste at all. It was so refreshing that I only took a small bite.

Her mouth was full of body fluids. The country girl who was used to eating delicacies from all over the world had never moved her index finger like this before. Now after taking a bite of radish sticks, she actually had a real feeling of moving her index finger. It was really strange!

The palace maids filed in and put the meals on the table one after another. The royal maid could not wait to carry the bronze beans, and hurriedly took a mouthful of rice, sandwiched the hot and sour radish strips, and put one whole into her mouth, chewing it with a "squeaking", and then

Take a bite of rice.

That's it, one bite of rice, one bite of radish sticks, another bite of rice, one bite of radish sticks, eating them with relish, while all the delicacies from the mountains and seas beside them were left out.

The country's daughter hasn't had a proper meal for a few days. It's not that she's not hungry, she just can't eat and feels nauseous after eating. Today she has a big appetite. She ate a big bowl of rice. She still couldn't finish it. She kept saying: "Hurry up and give it more."

I'll bring some food."

In this way, the daughter of the State of Qi, who didn't want to eat, ate two full bowls of rice. She was too full and couldn't eat anymore, so she gave up.

The crisis for the waiters was over, and they were very grateful to Qi Lu. However, Qi Lu didn't do anything earth-shattering, he just pickled some hot and sour radish strips.

Ji Lin was busy with official duties, but he also heard that Qi Lu's spicy and sour radish strips actually cured the acclimatization of the daughter of Qi State. When he and Qi Lu had dinner together in the evening, they asked for the hot and sour radish strips with rice.

.

Qi Lu was dumbfounded and said: "Emperor, there are so many good ingredients, why do you have to eat turnips with rice? If you don't know better, you would think that Lu has abused the emperor."

Ji Lin spoke plausibly and said: "I didn't even give one of the kimchi dishes that the master opened for me to enjoy. I don't like the taste. I must eat spicy and sour radish sticks with rice tonight."

Qi Lu couldn't defeat Ji Lin. If Ji Lin wanted to eat swan meat, Qi Lu wouldn't be able to catch it. But if he wanted to eat radishes, that wasn't something he could easily do, so he took some and brought it to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin also tasted the spicy and sour radish strips on the rice, which was white with white rice and pickled radish strips. Although it looked a bit bland, it was inexplicably rice after one bite. After all, it was pickled with kimchi.

The dish has a strong taste, which is good for preservation and is not easy to spoil. The taste is naturally much heavier than other dishes, making it a great meal.

Ji Lin's eyes lit up, he stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and chewed, his usually sharp and deep tiger eyes turned into curved peach blossom eyes when he smiled, and he said vaguely: "Hello, Master."

Eat, Taifu is delicious..."

Qi Lu: "..."

If the emperor had ears on his head at this time, he would definitely be shaking. Qi Lu endured it for a long time, and endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He raised his hand and poked the emperor's bulging cheek.

The envoy from Qi State was just staying in Fan State and would be leaving soon. The king of Fan State specially prepared a banquet to see off the emperor and the envoys. After drinking Yanyin, he was ready to leave Fan State early tomorrow morning and go to Zheng State to see off his relatives.

.

Qi Lu came to the banquet and happened to meet Ji Ya. Ji Ya, who was usually full of energy, looked troubled today. "Boom!", with a sound, he hit Qi Lu directly, and the two of them almost fell to the ground.

After sacrificing the tooth, he realized it later and said, "Ah, it's my brother!"

Qi Lu said strangely: "Brother, why can't you stay here?"

Why is the soul missing? In fact, the reason is very simple. Starting tomorrow, the team will set off for the State of Zheng. Once they arrive in the State of Zheng, both the grandson and the grandson will marry the daughter of Qi State.

Ji Ya sighed deeply, with a melancholy look on his face. Qi Lu smiled and said, "Brother, this look of sadness for spring and autumn is not suitable for you."

Ji Ya said: "Brother, please stop teasing me."

Qi Lu said: "Since I don't like my brother, why should I accept the job of welcoming the bride?"

Ji Ya was a senior member of the Zheng State Mission and was solely responsible for the wedding. Qi Lu could see that although Ji Ya and Gongsunzi were both fighting, Ji Ya should really care about Gongsunzidu.

Isn't it ridiculous to sacrifice teeth now and become a big passerby to welcome the bride?

Ji Ya sighed again and said, "Brother, you don't know something..."

Since Gongsunzi lost his memory, he could not remember the "intimate relationship" with Ji Ya. It happened that Ji Zhong, Ji Ya's uncle, and Zheng Bohuan did not agree with their being together. Ji Ya and Gongsunzi were both together.

One is a descendant of the Qing clan, and the other is a descendant of the Gong clan. If their affairs were spread, wouldn't Zheng's country be in chaos? There was another reason. Ji Zhong also strongly opposed his nephew and his grandson being together.

That's because Ji Zhong is very scheming. He doesn't believe that both his grandson and his grandson are of noble status. In the future, they will need to use in-law relationships to consolidate their status in the clan. Ji Zhong doesn't believe that he can continue to treat his nephew well.
To be continued...
