Bold

"Your Majesty, sit down for a moment while I go down to prepare."

"Go ahead."

Lu Yaoyao bowed and left the private room.

Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded, then looked at the other people at the table and said, "Everyone is in a good mood today."

"Wanfu's cooking skills are extraordinary. I tasted them a few days ago. You can eat more later."

"Oh? Your Majesty, do you really mean what you said?"

Wen Songtao spoke in surprise.

"How can my words be false?"

Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded at him with his folding fan.

"It's a good thing that you've been to Xiangjun Mansion several times because of potatoes and sweet potatoes, since you haven't tasted them even once?"

Hearing this, Wen Songtao shook his head depressedly.

"Old minister, I am not as lucky as Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, why don't I bring you here today?"

"I have eaten some exotic delicacies at Xiangjun's village before, and the food was good. I didn't know that Xiangjun's own cooking skills are extraordinary."

The eldest prince answered.

"The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family. The country gentleman has lived alone on the farm since he was a child. He must have suffered a lot."

When Wen Songtao said this, his eyes did not forget to glance at Gao Yanming, who was silent on the other side.

Gao Yanming seemed not to notice his move and remained calm and silent.

The other people at the same table didn't answer the call either.

Lu Yaoyao went downstairs and went directly to the kitchen.

Taking charge of the dishes herself, Qiu Shuang became the one who delivered the food. She was very articulate and not only delivered the food, but also introduced it.

Dishes made with pork were sent to the third floor one after another.

At the same time, the hall on the first floor was already full of people.

The last dish was served by Lu Yaoyao himself.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Everyone, how do you like these dishes made by Absolute Wanfu?"

Everyone at the table, one by one, couldn't help but nod after hearing the question.

Even Gao Yanming is the same.

"Okay, the emperor just said that Xiangjun's cooking skills are extraordinary. My brother still didn't believe it, but now he is convinced."

King Jin smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Yaoyao and continued: "Xiangjun, you are not very kind."

"We have some friendship. I have been a guest many times, but you have never entertained me once."

"Your Majesty is right, Mr. Xiang, you are indeed unkind."

Wen Songtao also answered.

His relationship with the Lu family is no longer a secret, and everyone laughed when he opened his mouth.

"It's a shame that I neglected it. I'll definitely make up for it next time I get the chance."

"So good."

King Jin and Wen Songtao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

After a while, I saw that everyone had almost eaten.

Emperor Hongwen did not forget today's business.

When Qiu Shuang introduced the dishes just now, she didn't mention pork at all.

"Have you all eaten?"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Then, can you guess what kind of meat Wanfu used in the dishes he made today?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table, except His Majesty, all showed doubts.

"Father, this is either chicken, duck, mutton or wild game. Do you still need to guess?"

The eldest prince was the first to speak.

Emperor Hongwen smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, everyone immediately realized that it seemed that Emperor Hongwen did not ask them to accompany him to have a meal today, and it was not just a whim. There was something going on here.

At that moment, the minister carefully looked at the dishes left on the table.

I thought about the taste just now.

But for a while I really couldn’t figure out what kind of meat it was.

"Let me tell you again, the dishes on this table are all the same kind of meat."

"A kind of meat?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

This is a total of eighteen dishes, each one is different, but they are actually made from the same kind of meat?

But why don’t they feel the same when they eat it?

It’s no wonder they couldn’t figure it out. Except for Wen Songtao, whose family was poor when he was young, almost all of the people here come from big and respectable families.

Pork and other such things, let alone eating them, are rarely seen.

Moreover, pork is widely known as a cheap meat, with a fishy smell and unpalatable taste. The dishes they just ate were moist and had a good texture.

Besides, the people who came to eat today are today. How dare you serve meat like pork?

Don’t you want your head anymore?

Therefore, no matter how hard they think about it, they can't figure it out.

"Father, please stop being so pretentious. What kind of meat is this?"

When the eldest prince asked, everyone looked at Emperor Hongwen.

Seeing that they couldn't guess it, Emperor Hongwen smiled a little proudly.

"A few days ago, Wanfu brought this thing into the palace and told me that she had discovered another good thing, and it was another good thing that could benefit the people of Dongzhou."

With the potatoes and sweet potatoes in front of them, when everyone heard this, they had no doubt that Lu Yaoyao was exaggerating.

And if His Majesty can drive it here in person, this must be another great discovery.

"Hail, come and tell us what kind of meat this is."

Lu Yaoyao bowed in response and glanced at everyone.

"This is pork!"

"What!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Bold, Mr. Wanfu Township, what crime do you deserve?"

"How dare you let His Majesty eat cheap meat, you, you, you"

Immediately some ministers jumped up.

Wen Songtao looked shocked at this time, and his heart trembled, secretly thinking that Lu Yaoyao was too bold, he actually dared to

However, just when the minister was criticizing him, Gao Yanming stood up.

"You must not be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty."

"Mr. Wanfu Xiang always does things in a measured way. There must be her reasons for doing this."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Yaoyao glanced at him immediately.

Is this learning to be smart?

No, it should be said that he has put away his former arrogance and become cautious.

He should indeed be cautious. In the past few incidents, it was his Gao family that suffered in the end. His Majesty's attitude has been made clear.

If we are not careful, life for the Gao family may become even more difficult.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone calmed down.

When I heard about pork just now, I was too shocked. Now I calmed down and thought about it. His Majesty obviously knew about it in advance.
