Chapter 67 Boiled Fish
War game deduction is equivalent to simulating war, using maps and some iconic objects to replace the armies of various countries, so as to learn tactics.
As an old general, Wang Jian has been on the battlefield almost all his life. He has fought countless battles, big and small. He is extremely familiar with various tactics, so he can be invincible and become the second Baiqi of Great Qin!
As his granddaughter, Wang Wan, in addition to practicing martial arts, also taught the art of war. War games have been played as a game since childhood!
With Wang Wan's current skills, it is definitely more than enough to teach Xiao Zhengtai, a military novice!
In about two hours, Wang Wan had taught Ying Feiyu the basic tactics of war and memorized them all!
Becoming a disciple of Wang Jian, in addition to learning martial arts moves, his main purpose was the art of war, so he listened very carefully and understood quickly. After all, he was a soul-piercing man. In later generations, he was a young man in his early twenties.
Memory is at its peak!
Wang Wan was shocked when she saw the little guy's progress.
She had put a lot of effort into learning this for many years, let alone Wang Li.
Now this little short leg has eaten all these in just one afternoon, it’s really amazing!
Wang Jian and Wang Li watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but be surprised. This guy is simply a military genius!
"Okay, it's getting late. That's it for today. Let's study again tomorrow!"
After all the elementary art of war lessons were finished, the sky was getting dark, so Wang Wan and others said goodbye and left.
…
At this time, Ying Zheng strode towards Yuxian Palace, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids.
This is the palace where Mrs. Ding lives.
It was she who sent someone to call Ying Zheng over, saying that she wanted to treat Ying Zheng to try the boiled fish she had made by herself!
Ying Zheng didn't want to go, but when he heard the word boiled fish, his mouth began to secrete saliva unconsciously, and he naturally thought of the spicy boiled fish that Ying Feiyu cooked in the small kitchen that day.
Pour hot oil on the dried chili peppers, and with a sizzling sound, the spicy and fragrant flavor immediately fills the air, whetting your appetite!
"When did your wife know how to cook boiled fish?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled and full of expectations.
"This... I don't know, slave. You should always be able to do it, right?"
The palace maid gave a hesitant answer.
Her wife hasn’t cooked for many years. If she hadn’t heard from the young master today that His Majesty loves boiled fish, she would probably never cook again in her life!
Furthermore, there is nothing difficult about boiling fish. Except that fishing takes half a day, cooking it is much simpler. Just add salt to hot water and that’s it. There’s nothing difficult about it!
"Always do it? Then why hasn't she done it before?"
If it could have been made earlier, why would he have eaten the pig food from the imperial kitchen for so many years?
Until now, Ying Zheng still thought that Mrs. Ding cooked spicy boiled fish.
"This slave doesn't know!"
The palace maid bowed her body and did not dare to say anything.
Mrs. Ding had a high status in the harem, and the palace she lived in was also the best in the palace. The group walked through the imperial garden, walked east, and arrived at Yuxian Palace after a while.
"Your Majesty, you are here!"
Mrs. Ding had been waiting at the door early, and immediately stepped forward to greet Ying Zheng when she saw him.
"Um!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and the two of them entered the house one after another.
Once inside the house, Ying Zheng turned around and was immediately startled, "You...what did you do?"
Mrs. Ding's skin is dark and lackluster, and she is almost unrecognizable!
"I...I...wasn't it all about that fish? I spent the entire afternoon fishing in the pond in the Royal Garden. The sun was very hot, so...just...!"
Mrs. Ding covered her face and knitted her beautiful eyebrows together.
She is also the daughter of an official family, with fair skin and beauty, otherwise she would not have become this wife.
But in just one afternoon, she was as tan as an African chicken.
But when you think about it, everything is done to please His Majesty, it’s all worth it!
"Why are you doing this? There are plenty of fish in the imperial dining room. You can't just go there and get them!"
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"Little... uh... I heard that boiled fish is best made with fish just caught in the pond!"
Mrs. Ding almost blurted out the word "young master", but fortunately she reacted quickly, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
"I'm sorry you are so thoughtful. Where is the boiled fish?"
Ying Zheng looked around and sniffed hard, but he couldn't smell a trace of chili pepper.
A dish with such a strong flavor as boiled fish shouldn't have any flavor at all!
The last time Xiao Zhengtai made it, even after it was served in the yard, the smell of chili still wafted far away.
"Right here!"
Mrs. Ding walked to the low table and pointed to the covered pottery bowl.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give me some food!"
Ying Zheng rubbed his hands eagerly, sat on the soft cushion, stared at the pottery bowl intently, and began to imagine the spicy taste of the boiled fish in the bowl.
"yes!"
Mrs. Ding nodded happily and opened the lid.
The huge pottery bowl was filled with half a bowl of milky white soup. A large fish was cut into several pieces and floated on top, plus a few green onion shreds.
The soup has turned milky white, and it can be seen that Mrs. Ding put a lot of effort into making this pot of soup.
But Ying Zhengyao’s boiled fish is not really boiled fish in clean water.
After seeing this, the smile on his face froze and his sense of expectation was completely gone, "What is this?"
"Boiled fish, I heard that Your Majesty likes to eat it, so I went fishing specially and made this boiled fish for Your Majesty...!"
Mrs. Ding did not notice the change in Ying Zheng's expression, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up food for him herself, "Your Majesty, this piece of fish is the best, without spines!"
"I still have official duties, you can eat by yourself!"
The disappointed Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, stood up immediately, and walked away.
Jingfu followed behind and shook his head in disappointment.
Even though he knew he wouldn't have a chance to eat it, he still wanted to smell it, but he didn't expect to see a dead fish floating in the water. He didn't even have an appetite after seeing it, let alone His Majesty!
You deserve to be so tanned!
"Your Majesty, what's going on? Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
Mrs. Ding chased her to the door without giving up, but Ying Zheng didn't even look back and even quickened his pace.
"What's going on? Your Majesty just asked me to serve the dishes with great anticipation, why did you suddenly leave again?"
"Did I do something bad?"
The matter has become a foregone conclusion, and Mrs. Ding also began to self-examine.
"No, madam, your Majesty must be really in trouble!"
As onlookers, the maids could clearly see the changes in Ying Zheng's expression.
But they are not stupid either. How can they say this? At this time, they have to coax their master!
"No, go out and find out what's going on!"
Mrs. Ding is not stupid either. There must be a reason for the sudden change in His Majesty's attitude, and we must find out.
