Chapter 316: The Private Dishes of the Chu Palace
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Kuan went to the Daming Palace for a walk, and then hid in his own courtyard to live a small life.
During this time, I don't know if I was overworked and actually became thinner.
Take advantage of the Chinese New Year, you have to make up for it.
Li Kuan, who has long been a gentleman and a chef, personally directed the cook in the kitchen to prepare the food for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Cheng Jingwen also watched with interest.
Although I had heard that the food of the Chu Palace's Mansion was the best in Chang'an, it was the first time I had seen Li Kuan's personal shot.
"Lord Wang, so many ingredients have been stewed together for more than three hours, are they still not good?"
When she went out in the morning, Cheng Jingwen followed Li Kuan to the kitchen and arranged a few dishes that needed to be prepared in advance.
Now, it's almost evening, and this "hodgepodge" is not good yet.
"Jingwen, this dish is not simply a bunch of ingredients put together, when the lid of the casserole is lifted, you will know what is called delicious in the world."
Thinking of being able to eat the food he had missed for a long time, Li Kuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Sometimes, Li Kuan is not particular about what he eats, and he has what to eat.
Sometimes, Li Kuan is very picky about eating, and when the interest comes, he would rather do it himself than compromise.
"Abalone, fish lips, scallops, hoof tendons, winter bamboo shoots, more than a dozen ingredients, although each is not bad, but can it really be put together to become a delicacy in the world?"
Cheng Jingwen was full of questions about the dish in front of her.
"Facts speak louder than words, and this king will let you see what it means to stew a miracle."
Bringing the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall with a bit of cultural flavor, this naturally has to wait until the third round of wine to say that it is more feeling, and Li Kuan is now simply selling it.
"Compared to this pot, I think the roast suckling pig seems to be more delicious, and the aroma has filled the kitchen."
Li Kuan specially prepared a few dishes today, needless to say that Buddha jumped over the wall, as well as roast suckling pig, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, nine turns of large intestine and white-cut chicken, and let the cook arrange the rest by herself.
In these dishes, in addition to roasting suckling pig, it is relatively in line with the dietary practices of most Datang people.
Whether it is the other nine-turn large intestine or white-cut chicken, in Cheng Jingwen's opinion, they are all weird.
"Lord Wang, just boil this chicken whole in water, and cut it up and eat it?"
Although Li Kuan said that he was going to have a big meal tonight, the more Cheng Jingwen looked at it, the more she felt that this meal seemed unreliable.
"There is a special green onion and ginger seasoning here, eat it together, whether it is delicious or not, you will know later."
The two of them stayed in the kitchen for a while, and when they saw that everything was almost ready, they returned to the main hall.
On such an important day, the people of the entire palace happily received this year's bounty and were all preparing for dinner.
Of course, there are no seats for them in the lobby.
And among Li Kuan's subordinates, Wang Xuance, Xue Li, Xi Junmai, and Wang Xuanwu are now alone in Chang'an, staying in the Chu Palace, and the other Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong have all gone back to their respective homes and found their own mothers.
Of course, Sun Simiao and Lin Ran, two special characters, Li Kuan was also invited to come over for the New Year together.
Anyway, it's just a matter of one more pair of chopsticks, and I still count on the two of them to save their lives at a critical time.
……
"Hey, sister, this soup is delicious."
In a small courtyard in the annex of the Chu Palace, Wu Guo's little face shouted excitedly.
"Mei Niang, the prince still remembers to ask the kitchen to bring you food, which means that he still has you in his heart, and you don't have to be in a daze there."
Sighing, Wu Yang still persuaded his little daughter.
During this time, what Wu Meiniang was thinking in her heart, she probably guessed it.
Since Li Kuan's wedding, she has even spoken three points less than in the past, and she is either reading books in the library or in a daze all day long, and even taking fewer classes in Mengxue.
Wu Meiniang argued forcefully and said: "Ah Niang, I'm not in a daze, I'm enjoying the snow scene." ”
"Okay, you're admiring the snow, so it's time for dinner. I see that these dishes are all unseen before, and I guess they were personally directed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so don't you want to try them? ”
Hearing what her mother said, Wu Meiniang also raised some interest in these dishes on the table.
"This soup is soft and tender, rich and fragrant, but it is not greasy, and the taste is delicious."
Wu Meiniang is really a talented girl, and if she also drinks a soup, Wu Guo can only say "Drink it well", but she can describe it in beautiful words.
It's like seeing geese flying south, and a peasant woman might say, "Look, there are so many geese, so beautiful."
And talented people can say: Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky.
"Sister, this chicken is also delicious, it looks tasteless, but after dipping it in some sauce, it actually tastes very good."
Wu Guo is younger than Wu Meiniang, and in later generations, he will be a fifth or sixth grade student of primary school, a typical foodie.
"The food of the Chu Wangfu really lives up to its reputation, this large intestine, the noble family does not eat it, but the chefs of the Chu Wangfu can make it so delicious."
Wu Yang is also a well-informed figure, and after trying a mouthful of the nine-turn large intestine, he couldn't help but praise it.
"There are so many delicacies in this palace, if you open a restaurant, you will definitely become the top existence in Chang'an City."
While Wu Meiniang was enjoying the food, her thinking began to diverge.
This should be her usual characteristic, she thinks a lot, her brain is smart, and she may have guessed what will happen before others react.
……
Just when Wu Meiniang's mother and daughter were tasting the new private dishes of the Chu Palace, Xue Li and the others were also eating all kinds of delicacies with a great appetite.
Even Sun Simiao, who has always been a fairy wind bone, couldn't help but praise tonight's dish many times.
However, after the old fairy was full of food and drink, he was guilty of occupational diseases.
"Lord Wang, your complexion is not very good, this Buddha jumping over the wall is really a dish that is very suitable for you. The combination of mountain delicacies and seafood not only combines the deliciousness of the ingredients, but also plays a role in nourishment. Especially the various kinds of seafood, Poor Dao feels that it is very nourishing. ”
Hearing Sun Simiao say this, Li Kuan naturally understood what it meant, and even Cheng Jingwen blushed.
Fortunately, everyone else was a little drunk, and Sun Simiao was sitting closest to Li Kuan and his wife, and the others didn't necessarily hear what they were talking about.
Ay!
Sure enough:
The twenty-eight best people are like crisps, and they slash fools with a sword at their waists.
Although I don't see anyone's head falling, I secretly teach the monarch to have dry bone marrow.
