With a "snap", the door was pushed open and the emperor walked in.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and when they saw that it was a strange middle-aged man, they couldn't help but wonder, Zhen Jian thought to himself, did this product go to the wrong private room when he came back from the toilet?
As soon as he had this thought, King Qi had already lost his voice and exclaimed: "Father......
Father?
What are you doing here?
” The emperor wanted to say that he was here to find Zeng Ling, but he never expected such a coincidence, his son was also there, and he was a little confused for a while.
The scene instantly quieted down, as if time had stopped, everyone knew that King Qi was the prince, and now King Qi called the person in front of him Dad, so who is this person?
I can think of a question with my ass, so everyone was stunned.
Zhen Jian's head immediately turned into an octa-core processor, running quickly, and conducting logical analysis: "King Qi called his father?
Then this person is the emperor?
What is the Emperor doing here?
What should I do, shout hooray?
No, the Confucian shirt he wears is a bit like a private interview with Weifu, that's right, King Qi was going to call his father, but he specially changed his voice to call his father, just to not expose his identity as the emperor, but King Qi also knows, we must have guessed the identity of the emperor......
I understand. ” After being still for two seconds, Zhen Jian suddenly got up with a smile and bowed: "This must be Mr.
Chu, the younger generation often hears Chu Li mention you, it's better to come early than to come smartly, come and come, please sit down, sit next to Chu Li." ” Everyone was not stupid, they immediately understood what Zhen Jian meant, Zeng Liang also hurriedly bowed, and specially gave up his seat to the emperor.
In the face of Zhen Jian's enthusiasm, the emperor could only cooperate, nodded with a smile, sat down next to King Qi, and then asked with a smile: "Does Li Er often mention me?"
What did he say about me?
” Zhen Jian smiled and said: "Chu Li said that Mr.
Chu, you have only learned people, and you are especially good at poetry. ” The emperor immediately laughed happily when he heard this, he loved poetry and literature, and especially liked to hear others praise his talents, he waved his hand and smiled modestly: "Where is it, Chu has a little talent, how can it be compared with Mr.
Zeng, Mr.
Zeng is the leader of this examination."
He was modest in his mouth, but he smiled happily on his face, and he complimented Zeng Ling so purposefully, just to ask the meaning of the poem written by Zeng Ling.
There are only a few people in this room, Zhen Jian is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Zhen Dali looks like a scholar when he looks dressed, only Zeng Liang is wearing a Confucian shirt, so the emperor just sat down and glanced at everyone, and he could see which one was Zeng Liang.
Zeng Liang was very nervous in his heart, after all, he had already guessed that the person in front of him was very likely to be the current emperor, he forcibly kept himself calm, although his feet trembled badly, but his face was talking and smiling, and he smiled modestly: "Mr.
Chu is too famous, it's just luck." ” "Oh?
Really?
The Emperor smiled meaningfully and asked, "Mr.
Zeng, can you tell me what kind of luck method it is?"
” If you want to be someone else, Zhen Jian must blame him for not being able to chat, people are modest, you are more serious, but the person in front of him is the emperor, how dare he blame, secretly sent a look to King Qi for help, King Qi replied with a helpless look, saying that he could not help.
"Uh......"
Zeng Liang didn't know how to answer for a while, and hesitated there.
Zhen Dali also guessed the identity of the emperor, he has been so nervous, he is just a farmer, when has he seen this kind of top-notch character, he feels that his hands and feet are about to cramp, he can't stand it, he got up and stammered: "Xiao ......
Xiaojian, dad has a bit of a headache......
Let's go back and rest first......"
Zhen Jian saw that his father's hands were shaking like sifting chaff, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Dad, just tell you not to be greedy, it's time to eat, drink so much wine, and now the alcohol is attacking......"
Zhen Dali was not stupid, and nodded very cooperatively: "Well, if you don't drink it in the future, you must not drink it in the future......"
Zeng Liang said by the way: "It just so happens that Ying Zheng's stomach is not comfortable, and it is estimated that she can't eat anything too greasy, Brother Zhen, you take her down and let the kitchen cook some porridge for him."
After that, Zeng Yingzheng was pushed in front of Zhen Dali, although Zeng Yingzheng was a little confused, but she had always been well-behaved, since her father did this, he naturally had his intentions, so she didn't speak, so she obediently walked to Zhen Dali's side, and took the initiative to pull Zhen Dali's sleeve.
"Okay."
Zhen Dali nodded with a smile and walked out.
Zhen Jian sent the two of them out of the private room, closed the door, and returned to the table to sit down, to be honest, he also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he was afraid that Zeng Liang would not be able to cope with it here alone, so he would stay and help him cover up, although the person in front of him was the emperor, but he didn't do anything bad, and he couldn't be mad for no reason.
Zhen Jian is calmer than Zeng Liang, perhaps because he is a traverser, and his fear of the emperor is not so serious.
Regarding the previous emperor's question, Zeng Liang finally took a good position and said: "Zeng's luck is really good, the Jingyi of the first test this time happened to be the right one by me." ” "Oh - good luck indeed."
The Emperor nodded, thoughtfully, and asked, "What about the second and third scenes?"
” Zeng Liang saw that he seemed to be about to break the casserole and ask to the end, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian quietly shook one of his fingers, signaling him not to tell the truth, to use other people's poems to participate in the examination and win the huiyuan, if the emperor knows, I am afraid he will be very unhappy, and the consequences will be very serious.

Zeng Liang understood what Zhen Jian meant, and could only answer the emperor stubbornly: "In the second and third scenes, naturally I can only rely on my ability to study hard for ten years." ” The emperor nodded again, and was just about to ask about the palace test, when suddenly there was a cold cheer from outside the door, it was Liu Qing, the guy planned to deliver the food, but was stopped by Liu Qing and others, searched his body, opened his hat and even touched the inside of his hair, checked the inside of the dish, and stirred it with a silver needle.
Hearing the sound outside, the emperor immediately frowned, got up and opened the door and came to the corridor, glared at Liu Qing fiercely, stepped forward and whispered: "Don't check the food delivery, you are guarding outside, if there is something, I ......
I'll call you. ” "Yes!"
Liu Qing led the guards to the chief.
The emperor smiled at the waiter and said apologetically, "The servant is ignorant and scares you." ” The waiters in Zhen Jian's shop have undergone strict training, although they were frightened just now, they quickly calmed down and said with a smile on their faces: "It's okay, many old men are like this." ” The emperor nodded and returned to the private room, where the waiter who delivered the food also followed and placed a pot of sauerkraut fish on the table.
When King Qi saw the sauerkraut fish, his saliva almost flowed out, and he said happily: "Haha, the first dish is my favorite sauerkraut fish, which is excellent." ” The emperor smelled the special fragrance of sauerkraut fish, and his index finger moved a little, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of dish is this?"
” Zhen Jian replied with a smile: "Mr.
Chu is only afraid that it is the first time to come to the restaurant of the younger generation, this is one of the signature dishes of this restaurant, called sauerkraut fish, which is a delicacy cooked with herring and sauerkraut as the main ingredients, since Mr.
Chu is here today, you must not miss this delicacy." ” King Qi also said excitedly on the side: "That's right, that's right, father......
Father, this sauerkraut fish is so delicious that you will regret it if you don't eat it.
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
The emperor stretched out his hand and patted the back of King Qi's hand, frowned and said, "There are no rules." ” There are big rules for eating in the palace, but he is doing this now, in fact, to prevent problems with the food.
Zhen Jian also guessed his thoughts, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and said, "We are all friends, so don't talk about so many rules, just feel free."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to eat.
King Qi watched him eat, his mouth was full of saliva, Zeng Liang also picked up chopsticks and began to eat, the emperor was relieved when he saw this, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat."
"I sandwiched a chopstick sauerkraut fish.
King Qi was very happy when he heard this, picked up the bowl and sandwiched several pieces of fish meat into his bowl, and then ate happily.
The emperor lightly bit a piece of fish, even though he was used to eating the imperial food in the palace, two seconds after the sauerkraut fish was eaten, his face changed sharply, he looked at Zhen Jian with wide eyes, and asked in surprise: "This fish ......
Why is it so strange?
” Zhen Jian was also shocked when he heard this, and thought that there was something wrong with the sauerkraut fish, so he hurriedly asked, "What's a strange method?"
” The emperor tasted it carefully and said slowly: "This fish meat is delicious, and there is no trace of fishy smell, it seems to be a little sweet, it seems to be a little spicy, and it seems to be ......
It's really a variety of flavors, and it's wonderful. ” Zhen Jian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Mr.
Chu is really a food connoisseur, and the younger generation's sauerkraut fish has sold more than 1,000 copies, but Mr.
Chu is the only one who can give such an evaluation." ” The emperor couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this, although he didn't say anything, he secretly thought in his heart: "Don't look at who I am, I'm the emperor, and I haven't eaten anything delicious." ” Just as he was thinking this, another dish was delivered, this dish was amazing, garlic crayfish.
Crayfish can't be found in this world, after all, it is an alien species, but Zhen Jian knows that there is a kind of crayfish on the seaside, which is a close relative of crayfish, slightly larger than crayfish, the tail is longer than crayfish, and the other parts are roughly the same, and the taste is also very close.
Fishermen hate this kind of crayfish very much, the prawns haunt the place, the fish are very few, the crayfish seriously affect their fishing, they often catch a lot of crayfish when they fish, they are generally crushed home to feed chickens, ducks or pigs, because they don't know that these crayfish with teeth and claws can be eaten.
Zhen Jian used these crayfish to make the signature dishes of their restaurant, spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish, so far, garlic crayfish is easier to sell, because Jiangnan people don't like to eat spicy food, of course, a little spicy, it is still acceptable, and even everyone will feel very special, very willing to try, but if it is too spicy, no one will care.
Seeing a large pot of red prawns being brought to the table, the emperor was dumbfounded and asked, "What is this?"
Shrimp?
” Zhen Jian smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is shrimp." ” The emperor frowned and asked, "Why is this shrimp so big?"
” King Qi also looked at Zhen Jian in surprise: "Zhen Jian, this is a new dish?"
” "Yes, it's a new dish."
Zhen Jian smiled and said, "This is also one of the signature dishes of our restaurant......"
He was just about to introduce it, and suddenly his face changed drastically, because he thought of a question, Prince Yun and Lord Yunrou are allergic to seafood, so the emperor, as Prince Yun's own brother, will he also be allergic to seafood, in case the emperor eats his own lobster and eats it, then he is really finished, in an instant, a layer of sweat oozed from Zhen Jian's forehead.
The emperor also discovered Zhen Jian's abnormality, and immediately frowned and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Why not?
” Zhen Jian laughed dryly and said slowly: "It's nothing, this is actually not an ordinary dish, and not everyone can eat it." ” When the emperor heard this, he suddenly became even more curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"
” Zhen Jiandao: "These crayfish belong to the seafood category, which is cold, and some people's bodies cannot adapt to this food, and they will get sick if they eat it." ” The emperor was surprised when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then you will also make this thing into a dish and sell it?"
What should I do if I get sick from eating a guest?
” Zhen Jian smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and said, "Otherwise, Mr.
Chu and Chu Li should not eat this dish, and soon other dishes will come up, don't eat the sauerkraut fish, and there is a little shrimp in the sauerkraut fish."
In his restaurant, most fish dishes use a river shrimp to add umami, and after cooking, the river shrimp is picked up and thrown away.
The emperor was a little depressed when he heard this, he tasted the sauerkraut fish just now, it was very delicious, and now he actually asked him not to eat it, he was not happy.
King Qi is really unhappy, Zhen Jian has developed a new dish, it smells so good, but Zhen Jian doesn't let him eat it, which is simply torment for him.
Zhen Jian and Zeng Liang were very unkind and ate a lobster by themselves, King Qi watched, and kept swallowing saliva, not to mention King Qi, the emperor was also a little drooling in his mouth, today for the palace test, he has been busy for a day, his stomach is almost hungry, and now he can only sit here and watch these two eat delicious, can he bear it?

He thought to himself: "I'm the emperor, I want to eat, but no one dares to stop me, how old are you, let me not eat and I won't eat?"
So he reached out and picked up a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Can't eat it!"
Seeing this, Zhen Jian immediately exclaimed.
