Chef's Story: Emperor and Chef

Once upon a time, there was an emperor who liked to go to the mountains to play with water. Once, he dressed as a show and looked like a private visit. He went to a restaurant to eat. Tang told the guest to speak a Beijing dialect and knew that it was a big place, he told the chef. The chef thought: The people in Beijing are tired of eating and eating. Why not let him change the taste? I made a table of vegetarian dishes with local specialties. The emperor was hungry and felt fresh and delicious after eating. He pointed to the spinach and asked, "What is this dish?"

Tang Zhen thought, this show is really a nerd, even the spinach does not recognize, then according to the chef to teach, give it a good name, said: "Guest, this is called red-billed green budgerigar."

"Good name!" The emperor asked again at the bean sprouts. "What is this?"

"Miss Qianjin wears a silver ring."

"Better, better!" The emperor asked the tofu again. "What about this?"

"Golden white jade board."

"Miao 哉 wonderful!" The emperor picked up a small potato with two fingers and asked him, "What is this?"

Tang Xiao smiled and said: "This is called the Phoenix Egg. As the saying goes, the earth shochu, the phoenix egg, and the food are all comfortable!"

"Haha, Shu Tanshutan!" The emperor was drunk and full of food, called Tang Yan to check out, touched his body, stupid eyes, and said with a hard scalp: "I forgot to bring the money, give me a book!"

When the church went in to inform, the chef thought, there was not much money anyway, just do a good job, and then came out and said hello: "The guest officer, it doesn't matter if there is no money, once I get back to life, I will meet you later, you can ask me to eat again!"

The emperor was not too polite, nodded, swiped his mouth, and lifted his foot and left.

After the emperor returned to the capital, Shanzhen was tired of eating seafood and remembered the deliciousness of the restaurant. He called the eunuch to do "Red-billed Green Budgerigar", "Miss Qianjin Daiyin Ring", "Golden White Jade Board" and "Phoenix Egg". . The eunuch could not find these dishes, and carefully inquired that the emperor had eaten these things during his private visit and ordered the chef to go to Beijing.

The chef heard that the show of the credit was the emperor of today, and it was not funny. He came to the palace to make meals. The emperor ate his mouth, but he was not delicious at the time. He couldn’t help but be angry and want to kill the chef. The chef said without hesitation: "The emperor is slow and the Xiaomin has a request."

The emperor took a dragon case: "Quickly say!"

"Please let the emperor let me have a meal, and it will not be late."

"You sin and die, and have to eat?"

"The emperor didn't have money to pay for the meal, didn't he promise to invite Xiaomin to eat?"

The emperor remembered the situation at the time, blushing to the ear, and had to pass on the meal. The eunuch came to some moldy and smelly leftovers, and the chef gorged on it regardless of the three seven twenty-one. The emperor smelled the mild smell of the nose and couldn't help but ask: "So stinky things, how do you eat so delicious?"

The chef said: "The emperor, the small people are hungry for a day without eating, and then stinking things, I am also delicious when I eat it!"

The emperor listened. He realized some truth from the word "hungry" and his face was red again. He ordered the forgiveness of the chef's death.
