Chapter 25: Preparing Supper

This has to be put on hold in the past, Li Shimin's words, Li Yuanba Xing may not say anything anymore.

But now Li Yuanba has a lot of ideas, he has a lot of thoughts in his mind, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Brother Huang, I also heard about the illness of the second sister-in-law from the mouths of the little palace maids, but this whole day is stuffy in the Lizheng Palace, and it is not good for the illness!" ”

"Huh? Why, after sleeping for nineteen years, you kid woke up knowing how to heal? Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuanba, and laughed.

Li Yuanba touched the back of his head and said: "Brother Huang, brother minister, there are also some things that appear in my mind from time to time, I don't know if it's useful or not, but it's really not good for the second sister-in-law to go on like this!" Besides, it has been said in this medical book that a happy mood helps to recover from the disease, maybe after the second sister-in-law saw me, the mood was good, and the condition improved? ”

"In the medical books? In my opinion, it's your kid's nonsense, right? Li Shimin shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Well, I haven't seen your second sister-in-law smile for a while, so I'll call her for dinner today!" ”

"Hehe, Imperial Brother Shengming!"

Li Yuanba grinned, revealing two big teeth, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "The eldest grandson queen is virtuous and virtuous, and she is even more strict with the teachings and requirements of the princes and princesses!" Hehe, little girl, Uncle wants to see how arrogant you are at dinner! ”

……

Li Yuanba, who returned to the back kitchen, naturally did not escape Princess Gaoyang's questioning, Li Yuanba would not say that I went out to deal with you, he just kept gagging and coaxing the little girl.

He then began to select the ingredients for the evening banquet.

As a typical carnivorous gourmet, Li Yuanba has always lacked knowledge of vegetables, so some vegetarian dishes are all set by the fat and thin chefs, and in addition to pork, he mainly picks duck meat and fish, in fact, this is mainly to take care of the eldest grandson queen.

As we all know, the fatty acids in duck meat have a low melting point and are easy to digest, but the physique of the eldest grandson queen is destined to make her weak and not replenished, and it is easy to get angry after eating supplements.

As for fish, it's because Li Yuanba has been living in an environment where he eats fish and meat to nourish his brain when he was a child, so he thinks that children eat some fish and meat, and when they grow up, they will be the masters who beat the master to death with random punches, how good!

After that, Li Yuanba taught the fat chef Wang Daring the practice of crispy duck, stewed duck with lotus root and duck soup in the Tang Dynasty; On the fish side, I picked squirrel fish, steamed treasure fish, fish head cake and a dish of American ginseng water fish soup, and taught it to the thin chef Li Changgui.

In fact, many of these dishes can't make the original taste, one is because the seasoning is incomplete, and these two are naturally because the chef's hands are born.

The problem of hand life is easy to solve, but this seasoning is stumped by the fat and thin chefs.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this master said star anise, grass fruit, and cinnamon...... What is this? They had never seen these things before, so how could they make dishes with pure taste?

After listening carefully to the methods of these dishes introduced by Li Yuanba, he wrinkled his brows and pondered for a long time, and the fat chef Wang Daring said to Li Yuanba with a bitter face: "My lord, the seasonings such as peppercorns and star anise you just talked about, I have never heard of the little one who has been a cook for so many years. As for cinnamon, tangerine peel and the like, I have heard of it, but these two things are medicines, can this medicine also be cooked? ”

"Medicine?" Li Yuanba looked at the fat chef a little blankly, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know which ancient book he had seen in the rubbing, the five spices of cinnamon, tangerine peel, star anise, grass fruit, and Sichuan pepper were used as herbs in the Tang Dynasty.

It's much easier to say now, just go to the Imperial Medical Department to see if you can't do it.

"Who said that medicinal herbs must be used to boil medicine? What kind of longan and red dates, can't they also be eaten as snacks? Li Yuanba rolled his eyes, then took out the gold medal from his arms and said, "Wang Ran, you will take this gold medal to the Imperial Medical Department later, and bring me all the medicinal materials I just said, as long as the Imperial Medical Department has them!" ”

Wang Ran subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the small gold plaque of 'Ru I am here', and suddenly his face turned white with fright, and he quickly knelt on the ground, holding his hands high to take the gold medal, and said, "Your Majesty will receive the order!" ”

Mom, I'm scared to death! That is a gold medal on behalf of the emperor, it is said that there is only one emperor in the entire Tang Dynasty, and now this gold medal has fallen into the hands of this young man, doesn't that mean......

The more he thought about it, the more timid Wang Ran became, and even his body began to tremble slightly at this moment.

Li Yuanba didn't know what Wang Ran was thinking, and after giving these instructions, he began to instruct the fat and thin chefs to further deal with the pork and pig that had been cut.

Subsequently, Li Yuanba told the two chefs about the pork and pig's trotters, and this time he chose classic home-cooked dishes, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, mushu meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour loin, pig killing dishes and his favorite in his previous life, braised iron lion head.

These dishes were carefully selected by Li Yuanba and can be made under the current conditions.

Although the hardware equipment of Datang Kitchen is not reliable, it is nothing.

There are no pots and shovels, just find a few thin pieces of clean iron sheet to make do; There is no seasoning, Fang Cai Wang Daring has already said that it is medicine, and it will be over if you use it directly; If there is no chicken essence and no oil, it will be simpler, directly use pork skin to boil oil and boil chicken soup instead of chicken essence.

I believe that in terms of the ability of the royal family, it will only take a little time to get these things. Besides, there are still more than two hours before dinner time, and with this time, Sensei said that he has prepared these things, and even if it is dinner, he can make a seven, seven, eight, eight.

For these new dishes, as well as cooking methods that surpass the current trend, the fat and thin chefs are all very excited, and it can be seen that if these two guys are put in the future, they will also be peerless gluttons.

Ignoring these two energetic fat and thin chefs, Li Yuanba, who had already finished explaining a qiē, walked out of the back kitchen and came to the middle courtyard. Gao Yang's little girl didn't come out with her, and was following behind the fat chef's ass at the moment, studying how the iron lion's head was made.

……

Time flies, when there was a jingling sound in the kitchen, Li Shimin had already sent Li Yuanba back to the Shenlong Palace, and at the same time, Liu Sanshui also took Li Shimin's dictation, led a few little eunuchs to hurry to the palace of several princes and princesses, and asked them to go to the Shenlong Palace to attend the dinner together.

To heal himself, under the escort of Li Heimian, he walked towards the palace of Empress Changsun.

If Li Yuanba knew that his cheap second brother had already called out to all the princes and princesses, he didn't know how wonderful the expression on his face would be!
