The night is getting darker. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Xiao Ming asked everyone to sit down, Niu Ben sat on his right hand at this time, followed by Lu Fei, Luo Xin and other generals.

The first one on his left hand was Pang Yukun, followed by Zhan Xingchang, Chen Wenlong and other civil officials.

In the entire main hall, a total of hundreds of officials were seated.

Xiao Ming sat on the main seat, looking at the team, and the restlessness in his heart during the day gradually subsided.

Yes, he has achieved such an achievement in only one year after he came to this Great Chongqing Country, and if he is given some time, what about the Age of Discovery? He, Xiao Ming, can also lead the way.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you can come to the royal mansion as guests, but it makes the king's royal mansion much lively, otherwise the king will always feel a little lonely for the New Year alone."

Everyone sat still, and Xiao Ming's gaze swept over everyone.

"It is also our honor for His Highness to invite us to the palace as a guest." Lu Fei arched his hand towards Xiao Ming.

Li Kaiyuan hurriedly said: "What Captain Lu said is very true, this Chinese New Year's Eve night can celebrate the New Year with His Royal Highness, but the lower official is smoking on the ancestral grave, hehe......"

The others burst out laughing.

Pang Yukun said: "Your Highness, it is said that His Highness has arranged a lot of singing and dancing dramas on this Chinese New Year's Eve, but is there such a thing?" ”

"There is this, but before that, I will eat first, set off fireworks after eating, and then watch singing and dancing after fireworks." Xiao Ming told him about tonight's arrangement.

As soon as these words were said, everyone below immediately smiled, and this was lively enough tonight.

In a short time, the servants and maids of the palace rushed in with delicious food and put a table of food in front of everyone.

These meals are carefully cooked by Xiao Ming in the kitchen, and most of them are dishes with modern characteristics.

As soon as everyone saw these dishes, they showed excitement.

What they are looking forward to most when they come to the palace is these delicacies.

The dishes were all served, and at this time, the wine was served again, and Xiao Ming said at this time: "Everyone, please." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately picked up chopsticks and ate them, but Lu Fei directly grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it.

Xiao Ming looked at the eating faces of the people below and smiled, he was used to these meals, but in the eyes of outsiders, these meals were still very rare.

Unfortunately, many of the meals on this table do not meet modern requirements, and this is due to the lack of materials, such as chili peppers and sugar.

It was precisely because of this that he asked Yue Yun to go out this time and bring back some food crops.

At the same time, he is also thinking about how to start the planning of Qingzhou's agriculture after the Chinese New Year, after all, the number of crops in Qingzhou is very simple, which is very unfavorable to the development of Qingzhou's industry.

After all, the development of industry requires raw materials, and the problems that have arisen in the textile mill this time have explained everything.

In addition to cotton, Xiao Ming is still thinking that a crop is sugarcane, as long as there is sugarcane, white sugar can be produced, and with white sugar, many foods can be produced and processed.

At that time, he could consider the production of portable food for military use, so that it would be very important for cavalry on long journeys or armies on expeditions.

"Your Highness, the oil in the palace is really delicious." When Xiao Ming was thinking, Chen Qi suddenly said.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Of course, because this king asked the servants of the palace to make these oils himself. ”

Pang Yukun was immediately interested when he heard this, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, I see that the deliciousness of this dish in the palace is inseparable from this oil, Your Highness might as well pass on this oil and techniques to the Wei family restaurant, in this way, it can attract many businessmen to go to the food and accommodation, which can also increase the income of the palace, right?" ”

The Wei family restaurant used to belong to the Wei family, but later because of the need, Xiao Ming asked the government to buy the Wei family restaurant.

In this way, it is also convenient for the guards to monitor the guests.

As soon as Pang Yukun said this, an idea suddenly sprouted in Xiao Ming's heart, and the symbol of commercial development in a modern area is the hotel.

Now Qingzhou businessmen come and go very frequently, and Qingzhou's restaurants can be said to be often full, which is also a profit point for Qingzhou.

"Pang Changshi's words are reasonable, I didn't expect that having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve can also make this king feel something." Xiao Ming said happily: "In this case, after the New Year, the king will summon the Wei family restaurant Ding into the palace, let him follow the palace to learn cooking, in the future, the palace will provide oil to the Wei family restaurant every day, so that these delicious dishes will inevitably make the merchants who come to Qingzhou forget to return." ”

Niu Ben took a sip of wine and said, "Your Highness, if this is the case, I, Niu Ben, will go to the Wei Family Restaurant for dinner every day in the future." ”

"Me too, Your Highness, you don't know, the food in the palace is really delicious, and when I go home, I will eat the food at home again at the end of the year."

On Chinese New Year's Eve, all the officials also relaxed, and Zhan Xingchang asked: "Your Highness, we usually eat cooked meals, and the meals in the royal mansion are probably different." ”

"That's right, the dishes in the palace are all fried."

"Fried? What is Stir-Fry? "Quite a few people whispered.

Although the living standards of the officials have improved somewhat, they have only a little better life this year, and they used to eat basically cooking and barbecuing.

Because the basic tool for stir-frying, the iron pot is not so easy to produce.

During this time, Xiao Ming has been busy with the military workshop and the Galen ship, and the people's livelihood has just begun to show his strength.

So he sent the servants to the kitchen and asked him to bring the iron pot and stove to the main hall, and then he asked him to bring oil, salt, and eggs.

When these things were ready, Xiao Ming said: "Stir-frying, you need this thing first, the iron pot." ”

Xiao Ming stood up and walked to the iron pot, which was already on the burning briquette stove.

Niu Ben and the others didn't eat at this time, but gathered around, Chen Qi said: "I've never seen this iron pot, it can't be invented by His Highness, right?"

"It was His Highness who invented it." Qian Dafu said proudly.

"So how do you stir-fry next?" Pang Yukun asked, his eyes rolling, thinking that now Xiao Ming had finally exposed the secret of the food.

After the Chinese New Year, you must ask Xiao Ming for a pair of iron pots to go back to stir-fry and eat.

This Chinese New Year is playing, Xiao Ming is also playful at this time, so he said: "Don't worry, now this king will show you a scrambled egg on the spot." ”

Then Xiao Ming put the oil in the pot, because the pot was already hot, and the oil was quickly hot.

At this time, Xiao Ming sprinkled some salt in the oil pot again, broke the eggs, and beat them into the pot.

"Crackling." When the eggs were put into the pot, the oil splashed suddenly, and some of them collapsed into Lu Fei's face against the pot, making him hot and screaming.

The officials didn't turn their eyes at this time, staring hard.

This time Xiao Ming made poached eggs, and the eggs were cooked after a while, at this time he shoveled out the poached eggs and asked; "Who wants to taste it?"
