The broadcast of “Gourmet” made Su Yemu more famous. Since the broadcast of the program, he had been constantly ranked first on the Star Network hot searches. Most people’s first impression of Su Yemu was his appearance. Almost everyone would exclaim on seeing him, “Wow, such an innocent Oriental.”
The second thing everyone noticed was Su Yemu’s cooking skills, it was said that men who could cook were the most attractive, and men who could cook with artistic sense were even more fascinating, no, boys.
Therefore, Su Yemu, who was not yet an adult, made many people cry and shout: Why are you not an adult yet? I even feel guilty for YY[1].
He Yunting saw such comments, and felt both empathy and annoyance; YY? Su Su must not be allowed to enter the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, so as not to teach him bad things. Su Yemu didn’t know these things. Xiaonan had decided to enter school early. So, Su Yemu was making dried meat and biscuits snacks for Xiaonan in the kitchen. He had been preparing it for two days. On the day of school, the snacks made by Su Yemu alone filled two boxes. Xiaonan’s mouth twitched and she wanted to refuse, but when she saw her brother’s expression, she swallowed her words.
Xiaonan would be living in a three-person dormitory because she was enrolled midway. When she arrived at the dormitory, the other two people were not there yet. Su Yemu helped Xiaonan unpack her things and explained the precautions to her in detail. Then Su Yemu returned to the Marshal’s Mansion to pack his things and go to the palace.
Tomorrow was the day when the Federation would be visiting. Although the list of ingredients for the state banquet had been given to the Chefs Association, Su Yemu still needed to supervise the early preparations.
The streets were lined with the flags of the Federation, and there were many patrol cars on the road. When Su Yemu arrived at the palace, the security outside was even stricter.
Erha and Kaili were already standing at the gate. As soon as they saw Su Yemu, they came to meet him, took his luggage, and received his things, which surprised the palace guards.
Su Yemu was arranged to stay in the side hall of Huayan Palace. According to Erha, this side hall was where General He lived before. He Yunting lived in this side hall before he was taken into the palace by the Queen and joined the expeditionary force.
Su Yemu was surprised by the architecture of Huayan Palace. With red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, it was magnificent and solemn. It was an imitation of Ming Dynasty architecture, very similar to the Forbidden City. Su Yemu’s heart was beating. Could it be that someone else had transmigrated from the modern era like him?
Erha saw Su Yemu being stunned and smiled, “Do you think it looks like our farm? I heard from the history teacher that this was rebuilt by Emperor Shengyuan according to the architectural drawings left over from the ancient earth. That’s why I was surprised when I saw the farm! I think the master is super awesome.”
Although Emperor Shengyuan was not the first emperor of the empire, he had a high prestige. He and General He were like gods in the hearts of the people of the empire.
“But,” Erha approached Su Yemu and whispered, “Don’t go there. That was the old residence of Emperor Shengyuan. It has been sealed for six hundred years.”
Su Yemu felt a little regretful, and wondered if there were any other fellow villagers.
“Why are they all broken?” Su Yemu was puzzled. The gate was split in half, and the trees were crooked. They were not even repaired. Did the royal family lack this little money?
Erha sighed, “It’s all because of the Qilin Pendant.”
The Qilin Pendant was a relic of Emperor Shengyuan and had been kept here. Those thieves didn’t know where they got the news from. Not only did they steal the Qilin Pendant, but they also fought in North City, causing harm to many people. Erha had seen that pendant when he was a child, and it was nothing special! Why did those people come to steal it, he couldn’t figure it out.
Kaili stuck his head out and added, “Grandpa said that he wanted to preserve the crime scene, so it has never been repaired.”
Su Yemu nodded, so that’s how it was.
Walking into the side hall, Su Yemu was shocked again. The furnishings inside were also antique, with sandalwood tables, blue and white porcelain, and landscape paintings. If he hadn’t been told, he would have thought he had returned to ancient times.
After putting the things away, Su Yemu went to the kitchen. He had to make some preparations in advance and also tell the people in the kitchen about tomorrow’s situation. Erha followed Su Yemu and slipped into the kitchen.
Chen Lao from the Chefs Association and officials from the Honglu Temple were discussing the order of serving dishes and precautions for tomorrow. When they saw Su Yemu coming, they quickly pulled him to join them. The group discussed until midnight, until He Yunting came to find someone with a bad face. Chen Lao from the Chefs Association and officials from the Honglu Temple immediately felt a chill down their spines.
“Have you eaten?”
He Yunting saw him squinting and yawning, and rubbed Su Yemu’s head, trying to wake him up.
“I ate a little. I’m just a little hungry,” Su Yemu asked, “Have you eaten?”
“No.”
He Yunting had been tracking down the exiled army recently; the last time Su Yemu was attacked in the Tiannv system, He Yunting still couldn’t forget the scene of the starship being dragged into the undercurrent. When he occasionally recalled it, he still had the urge to kill.
He Yunting had already received some clues about the location of the nest of the exile army. He Yunting said that he would slaughter them, and he would not show any mercy.
“Do you want to eat double skin milk?”
“I don’t want to.”
He Yunting loosened his collar and sat down aside; his eyes looking at the big light bulbs next to him, and Chen Lao and others immediately understood and said goodbye to Su Yemu.
“Then I’ll make you a bowl of noodles?”
He Yunting said “hmm”, and sat down tiredly and closed his eyes to rest.
Su Yemu prepared to make a bowl of double skin milk[2] and chicken noodles[3]; he first kneaded the noodles and put them aside to rise, and then started to make steamed double skin milk.
He poured fresh milk into a cup and steamed it in the pot. While it was still hot, he put it aside to cool. After cooling, a layer of milk skin formed over it. He then kept the skin and removed the milk. Then he poured out the milk in the cup, took an egg white, fine white sugar and milk, mixed them evenly, remove the foam, and poured it back into the cup. The last step was to pour from the side so that the original milk skin floated on the top layer, and steam it again.
Su Yemu then began to shred cucumber and carrot. After finishing, he blanched carrots and green vegetables for later use. After the noodles had risen, they were thinned, boiled in hot water, then put in cold water and then put into a large bowl. The cucumber and carrot shreds were spread on top, and chicken soup was poured in. Then the chicken that was still stewing in the pot was picked up, and a chicken leg was torn into shreds and placed on the noodles. A little sesame oil and some green onions were sprinkled, and it was done.
At this time, the double skin milk was also ready. Su Yemu brought out the double skin milk, put it on the tray with the noodles, and walked towards He Yunting.
The white and tender noodles were covered with green and red shreds, and the green vegetables were dotted. The chicken shreds were thigh meat, which looked tender and shiny; the noodles were chewy and smooth. The chicken soup was sweet and delicious, and the aroma was rising. It was especially appetizing and not greasy.
He Yunting ate very heartily. When he took a big bite, the appetite of the people around him would improve.
Su Yemu’s double skin milk was still steaming. Before he put it could take the first bite, He Yunting had almost finished his.
Su Yemu asked curiously, “Isn’t it hot?”
He Yunting drank the last mouthful of soup: “The temperature is just right.”
The color of the double skin milk was very beautiful, the skin was tender yellow and smooth, and the milk aroma was rich; Su Yemu, whose appetite was aroused by He Yunting, couldn’t help but scoop a spoonful to eat. There was a hint of sweetness in the milk aroma, and the taste was sweet, tender and smooth, melting in the mouth, making Su Yemu not help but scoop another mouthful.
Su Yemu, who was eating with his head down, was poked by He Yunting on the back of his hand. Su Yemu looked up and looked at He Yunting in confusion.
“I want to eat it too.”
The 1.9-meter-tall man stared at Su Yemu’s double skin milk, with two words written on his face: I want to eat it.
Su Yemu inexplicably felt a little cute: “You said you don’t want to eat milk?”
“Now I want to eat it.”
“I will steam it for you again?”
He Yunting shook his head: “One mouthful.”
The man in front of him had already opened his mouth, and Su Yemu could only resign himself to giving him a spoonful: “How is it?”
“I still don’t like it.”
“Spit it out.”
Su Yemu stretched out his hand to pinch He Yunting’s chin, but was grabbed and pressed on the table, and patted on the head: “Be good.”
Then the man left, and Su Yemu gritted his teeth.
The next day, Su Yemu just got up and felt that the atmosphere in the palace was different. After changing clothes, Su Yemu was about to go to the kitchen. As soon as he stepped out of the door, He Yunting strode in.
“Why are you wearing this dress?”
“Is there a problem?”
He Yunting pulled Su Yemu into the inner room, looked around, and turned to ask the adjutant: “The clothes haven’t been delivered?”
The adjutant was startled: “I’ll go ask.”
Su Yemu wondered: “What clothes?”
“I forgot to tell you,” He Yunting should have said it last night, but he forgot it all of a sudden: “Today we will accompany His Majesty to receive the President of the Federation.”
Let alone other things, just for the fact that the Federation had asked to see Su Yemu, he had to accompany the emperor to greet him.
Su Yemu was stunned: “Why should I go to receive the Federation?”
“You are originally staying in the palace as an important guest,” He Yunting pinched Su Yemu’s face: “It’s too late, put on your clothes first.”
The adjutant had already brought the clothes.
Su Yemu was a little confused. He was taken into the room by He Yunting. He patted his forehead several times, and Su Yemu reacted and drove him out and changed himself.
After changing clothes, Su Yemu was stunned. The person in the mirror felt a little strange.
He Yunting knocked twice outside. After Su Yemu answered, he pushed the door open and came in. His dark eyes sank.
Su Yemu was wearing a royal dress, similar to a military uniform, with dark patterns on it, very gorgeous. There was a golden braid on the chest, and a palm-sized black belt tightened the waist. The slender legs stepped on knee-high boots, and made a cold and hard “clicking” sound when walking, as if stepping on He Yunting’s heart.
He Yunting went up to him and said in a deep voice: “It looks good.”
This dress set off Su Yemu’s cold temperament to the fullest.
Su Yemu was not used to it: “Don’t you think it’s weird?”
“How could it be?” He Yunting chuckled: “It suits you very well.”
This dress seemed to be worn well on him.
“Woo!”
A long beep came from outside, indicating that the Federation people were about to arrive.
The welcoming ceremony for the Federation this time was grand. In addition to the Emperor, the Empress and the Prince, two of the three marshals had appeared, He Yunting and Marshal Wanqi. The people coming from the other side were also of high status, including the President of the Federation and his family, a marshal, and three generals.
The square outside the palace was heavily guarded, and martial law was imposed for a hundred miles. When the starship slowly landed in front of the palace square, the royal band played solemn national music. The Emperor and the Empress were at the front beside Su Yemu and He Yunting.
A group of people walked out of the starship, and Su Yemu looked up. When he saw the person who appeared in the front, he was stunned. How could it be possible?
Su Yemu was a little confused, and when that person walked in front of him, he couldn’t come back to his senses.
He Yunting also noticed Su Yemu’s abnormality, lowered his head and asked softly: “What’s wrong?”
Su Yemu suddenly came back to his senses, when the person in front of him said: “Hello, Su Yemu.”
