Such a body shape and such movements have a sense of romance.

Yan Yun ordered someone to bring a wooden tray and uncover the silk cloth.

A purple flower came into view.

"This flower is called Amethyst Snow Lotus!" Yan Yun said word by word.

"Amethyst Snow Lotus, what is that?" Gao Yehua stood next to Yan Yun, looking at the flower, curious, and then asked.

"Amethyst snow lotus is an extremely rare medicinal material. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a miracle medicine, because it has the effect of increasing life span. This rare medicinal material has a fragrant fragrance and can prolong life after taking it." Yan Yunxuan

Slowly.

"Prolonging life? This is really strange." Emperor Sheng Tong became interested and asked, "Does this flower really have such a miraculous effect?"

"That's right." Yan Yun nodded.

If a person has all the fame, fame and fortune, what dissatisfaction will there be?

It’s nothing more than lifespan.

Therefore, it was within Yan Yun's expectation that Emperor Sheng Tong was so interested.

"Amethyst Snow Lotus only grows in the Polar Continent. The environment in this Polar Continent is very harsh. There is a high mountain with snow that does not melt all year round, and the climate is extremely cold. However, in such an environment, there are rich and abundant flowers gathered in the snow.

Under the urging of this spiritual power, the amethyst snow lotus was conceived and born, absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth, and continuously absorbing it. After thousands of years, the snow lotus was conceived. There are only a few in the world." Yan Yun said.

He paused and continued: "The harsh environment alone is enough to show how precious the amethyst snow lotus is. The most difficult thing to do is to pick it."

"Is it because the environment is so bad that it is difficult for people to climb mountains?" Emperor Sheng Tong asked.

"Emperor Shengtong is indeed wise and worthy of being an emperor," Yan Yun continued, "There are acres of piranha flowers under this high mountain, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to the foot of the mountain."

"Piranha? What is this?" Emperor Sheng Tong was a little confused. Could it be that flowers can eat people?

Yan Yun said: "Just like the name of the flower, this is a man-eating flower."

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but be horrified. There were such flowers in the world. If they were cannibals, how could they be called flowers? If they were just flowers, how could they be cannibals?

Yan Yun saw that everyone present looked surprised and continued: "The piranha is indeed a kind of flower. On the surface, the piranha is bright red in color and looks like other flowers. However, this kind of flower

Spiritual——"

Yan Yun suddenly paused and changed the subject: "No, it's more of animal nature than spirituality."

"Beast nature? Where do you start talking about this?" The officials were even more puzzled.

"This flower can sense the living things around it. If a living thing approaches, the flowers will wake up and prey on the prey, just like a giant beast. There are tentacles extending out of the flower buds, entangling the living things tightly, and then swallowing the living things.

Down."

"It's so horrifying, it's so rare to see the strange amethyst snow lotus." Emperor Sheng Tong sighed with emotion.

"For this reason, I specially offer this to Emperor Shengtong." Yan Yun was not stingy.

He also said: "This is one of them. Your Majesty, please take a look at another treasure——"

Yan Yun clapped his hands and then walked into a masked woman from outside the hall.

The masked woman has a delicate body, a slender waist, and a tall figure. It can be seen from her figure that she is an out-and-out beauty.

The appearance of this covered face actually reveals the aura of "still holding the pipa and half covering the face", which arouses people's desire to find out.

"Messenger, who is this woman next to you?" Emperor Sheng Tong was very confused about who the woman was and couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Sheng Tong's curiosity brought a faint smile to Yan Yun's face, and the eyes he looked at him were full of confidence.

"The woman next to me is the most beautiful woman in my country of Qiyou. She was born with a strange fragrance, and her appearance is unparalleled, so I specially dedicated her to the emperor."

After saying this, Yan Yun looked at him with interest, waiting for his reaction.

The woman next to him is a stunning beauty. Any man who sees her cannot help but be confused by her appearance, so she always wears a veil when meeting people.

Yan Yun's words caused everyone's attention to fall on the interested Emperor Sheng Tong, hoping that he would give an order to let the woman take off her veil so that everyone present could see her face.

Sure enough, the ministers were not disappointed.

At this time, Emperor Sheng Tong said: "Oh, the most beautiful woman, she is very interesting. Can the envoy let the woman take off her veil so that my ministers can appreciate her peerless beauty?"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Sheng Tong looked at Yan Yun expectantly, and even Gao Yehua couldn't help but cast a curious look at the woman.

At this moment, he also wanted to know what the most beautiful woman looked like.

"Of course, I have already paid her tribute to the Emperor. She is the Emperor's. No matter what the Emperor does, she can do it." After hearing Emperor Sheng Tong's question, Yan Yun spoke cheerfully again.

Walking in front of the woman, Yan Yun gently took off her veil, and a beautiful face was gradually revealed in front of everyone.

When the veil was completely taken off, all the men present, young and old, took a breath.

The person in front of me is truly as beautiful as a fairy.

If this girl is one point longer, she is too long, if one point is taken off, she is too short; if she is powdered, she will be too white; if she is applied with vermilion, she will be too red; her eyebrows are like green willows, her skin is like white snow, her waist is like a bunch of silk, and her teeth are like shells; her charming smile is alluring.

Everyone is immersed in the woman's beauty.

Even Emperor Sheng Tong, the king of a country, couldn't help but freeze his eyes when he saw the beauty of the woman. He couldn't bear to look away. The woman in front of him was indeed beautiful, and she really deserved to be the most beautiful woman.

"What's your name?" Emperor Sheng Tong was a little confused. He looked at the woman and asked in a gentle tone. His eyes were full of surprise when he looked at her.

Although his harem is full of beauties that are among the best, they are not half as good as the woman in front of him. Every man likes beautiful women, and Emperor Sheng Tong, as an emperor, is even more so.

"Your Majesty, my daughter's name is Jingyue." After hearing Emperor Shengtong's inquiry, Jingyue bowed slightly and spoke calmly.

At this time, the movements are indescribably elegant and charming, and the movements between the frown and the smile are indescribable in all kinds of amorous feelings.

Her face was slightly red, which made her charming even more charming.

"Jingyue, a good name, Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water, it suits you very well." After hearing Jingyue's words, Emperor Sheng Tong looked into her eyes, with a warm smile, and spoke lightly again.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." She leaned forward slightly, with a suitable smile on Jingyue's face.

"It is indeed a treasure!" Emperor Shengtong exclaimed.

Gao Yehua withdrew his expression, frowned, and realized in his heart that this gift from Yan Yun was really a treasure, but I'm afraid it was better to be a gift first and then to fight!

Emperor Shengtong was overjoyed: "Come here, I will reward Prince Qiyou with a thousand pieces of brocade, ten thousand taels of gold, and two thousand fine horses."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Yun bent down and thanked him.

Emperor Shengtong was very happy and said: "Here comes someone, tell the imperial kitchen to

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I will host a banquet to entertain the envoys from various countries."

Send a message to the eunuch to rush to the imperial kitchen.

In the imperial dining room, exquisite and luxurious wooden dishes are inlaid on the walls.

When some of the royal chefs in the royal dining room saw the eunuch who was delivering the message, they quickly asked, "What orders do you have, father-in-law?"

The eunuch who sent the message said: "The emperor has just issued a decree to hold a banquet for the envoys from various countries."

The imperial chef in the imperial dining room had prepared the meal list a few days ago when he knew that the envoy was coming.

After all, preparing for a state banquet takes a lot of effort. Therefore, I am not in a hurry right now.

Let’s prepare the appetizers first. There are sixteen appetizers in total.

The imperial chef's knife was gleaming, and it had been pickled for a long time. Then it was passed over the bamboo shoots soaked in water, and the bamboo shoots turned into silk wherever it passed.

Strands of dark yellow bamboo shoots are filled with a fragrant and sour smell. They are all of average thickness and chopped into equal lengths at both ends.

Holding the kitchen knife with his finger, he shoveled it away and put the shredded bamboo shoots into a clean white porcelain plate and set it aside.

On the other side, the sliced ​​chicken breasts have been put into the pot. The thin pieces of chicken, each with a narrow strip of skin, are rolled in the stock that has been boiled in advance. They quickly turn white and are thrown out.

The fragrance comes.

Several condiments were put into the pot, and the chef holding the ladle waited patiently for a moment until all the aromas and flavors were revealed, then he took a plate and poured in the sour bamboo shoots.

The lid of the pot made of purple sand is pressed up, and the hot air flows out from the small holes. The fresh fragrance and hot air are wafted together, but the fragrance is not greasy.

After a while, turn off the heat and uncover.

A porcelain bowl has been prepared next to it. The mouth of the bowl is no bigger than a man's hand, and the light green glaze is even and pleasant.

A spoonful of soup is poured into the soup at the beginning. The clear soup has no trace of impurities, and an attractive golden color shines on the bottom of the plain white bowl.

Two spoonfuls of chicken. Put one spoonful of half soup and half meat into the bowl. The golden piece is thicker and thicker. Several pieces of almost translucent chicken are overlapped in the middle. The thin skin is cooked by the boiling soup and half peeled off.

Swirl in the soup.

Three spoonfuls of soup with bamboo shoots. Half of it is still soup. After the soup is gone, the sour bamboo shoots at the bottom of the spoon are poured on top of the chicken, half-covering the chicken, adding a darker color to the golden soup.

"Bring the food box." The imperial chef called out, and the little assistant chef who had been waiting aside stepped forward.

A small hexagonal food box was presented in his hand. The soup bowl was placed firmly on the food box and the lid of the box was closed.

Continue to prepare the next dish——

Bright shrimp grilling, the shrimps are arranged in a lantern pattern, grilled under the hot sunlight, and then dipped in vinegar to eat.

Pork puff pastry is made from chicken and venison chopped into small pieces and mixed with rice grits.

To prepare the mutton, first clean the goose, open its belly, put the meat seasoned with five flavors and glutinous rice into the goose's belly. Then slaughter the sheep, peel the skin, remove the internal organs, then put the goose into the belly of the sheep, roast it over high heat, and cook it.

Then take the goose and eat it.

In addition to Ruyi Rolls, the staple food also includes Xishi Tongue, which is quite labor-intensive. The production process is extremely complicated. First, glutinous rice flour is used to make water-milled flour, and then it is filled with a filling of more than a dozen fruit ingredients such as date paste, walnut meat, osmanthus, and green plums.

The heart is pressed into a tongue-shaped mold and can be boiled in soup or fried. The color of this snack is like the bright moon, and it is sweet and refreshing.

These dishes are not difficult to make, but the most difficult one is crab stuffed with orange.

Four washed oranges have been placed on the chopping board. The carefully selected oranges are all the same size and color.

The imperial chef took a knife with a long and narrow handle, pierced it from the top and side of the orange, and drew a wavy line in an orderly manner. After making a full circle, he scraped downwards, and the flower-shaped "cover" was removed.
