Now that I think about it, when I proposed to open an academy to teach the knowledge of 'Bai Yujing', I was appreciated and supported by His Majesty the Emperor!

After all, even the matter of land, craftsmen and conscription was solved, although there was one more thing to rebuild the Women's Army at that time......

But in retrospect, maybe His Majesty didn't want me to be an official either? After all, I always feel that His Majesty should know a lot of secrets! Otherwise, when the problem of gold and the various people I encountered attacked, the court would have sent troops to help......

"So, I'd better hurry up and set up the academy! Perhaps, this is the reason why His Majesty and other people in the rivers and lakes have different attitudes towards me? I silently analyzed in my heart......

After analyzing this, I found that I was stunned for a long time, and my thoughts have been deviated for a long time? For this reason, I began to suspect that I was really poisoned again~ "No, I have to go to the divine doctor to take a look!" I seem to have heard that the miracle doctor also came to Chang'an? Then I'll have to find a trip to him......"

Because I thought about it so much, I waited for the time being to hold the meeting because it took too long to discuss with each other. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is going to invite hundreds of civil and military officials to have a 'working meal' in the Daming Palace, and then continue to 'discuss politics' after lunch......

It is said that after this temporary dispersal of the dynasty, there is still a short rest time and place for everyone...... Is this considered an intermission? And it's also a side hall~ It's just that tea is not provided to everyone, but someone just sent water...... Wait a minute, I went over and smelled it and realized that it wasn't clear water, it was actually a very light wine? Sake? After tasting it, I realized that it was a clear bar mixed with water...... The smell of wine is also too light. I guess it's just for quenching your thirst!

In addition, I also saw jars of various porcelain jars being brought up by the maids. Later, I learned that these are some fruit juice drinks called 'black plum pulp, grape pulp, and peach pulp'~ Different from the drinks of later generations, this is mixed with juice mashed and water! And that 'black plum syrup' is simply the kind of sour plum soup that later generations have drunk~ This texture and taste are almost the same, and there is even a little ice cube mixed in it......

I saw the palace of this era, and I was very good at enjoying it......

I was paying attention to the various drinks I had seen for the first time when I heard a eunuch telling me to come over.

After leaving this side hall for the ministers to rest, I was called to the emperor. It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had just come up with a good idea, and he knew that the small pot and spoon were still in the princess's palace, and the emperor had long known that I could take out the ingredients at any time. Therefore, when he was going to entertain the civil and military officials for a 'working meal' this time, he used all the food I had offered......

I glanced at the grain I had packed in front of me, and I knew that His Majesty the Emperor didn't just want the civil and military officials to taste the new grain. I guess His Majesty the Emperor saw that many of the grains I offered were uneaten or seen, so it was like letting me demonstrate and make a few new dishes to satisfy his cravings!

After all, in the box in front of me, the oversized pumpkin is really eye-catching~ I even saw that on this large pumpkin of more than 20 catties, there was actually someone who used a knife to cut a small triangle-sized gap on it as if he was cutting a watermelon and tasting it, and looked at a small piece of bitten pumpkin on the table in front of the emperor~ I suddenly began to suspect now that the foodie attribute of this eldest princess Xiaoli could not be inherited from His Majesty the Emperor himself! Otherwise, how could you even cut off the raw pumpkin and take a bite? Isn't he afraid of poisoning?

After I agreed to His Majesty the Emperor's request, let me and Xiao Guo Xiao Spoon complete the task of entertaining the ministers today with the assistance of the chef of the 'Shang Shi Bureau'......

"Shang Shi Bureau? I thought it was called the Imperial Dining Room! When I got to the kitchen, I looked at the sign and muttered to myself.

It was only when I came to the kitchen~ that is, the 'Shang Food Bureau', that I found that there were no other dishes here except for a few potatoes! Isn't there a lot of vegetables growing in the greenhouses in the Imperial Garden, except potatoes? Why don't you have any of them here!

After asking, I found out that although the Imperial Garden really sent fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers. But there are special people guarding these things! Except for a little bit of it when ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself, it is not usually used casually at all...... It turns out that those dishes are treated like treasures......

"Huh! No wonder you asked me to come to Shang Shi Bureau to help! So I was asked to 'prepare the ingredients'. What is this when I am a warehouse? I silently complained in my heart.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has personally spoken, so I can't resist the decree!

But think about it, the emperor has rewarded me with 'ten thousand gold'~ Then I'll treat him as the food he bought with money from me!

But the emperor said that I was going to show off the new grains for this meal, so I could only cook with these as the main dishes?

Potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, peppers, tomatoes, plus corn, pumpkin...... Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like I can make anything particularly delicious when I use these to make dishes?

Pumpkin~ I can fry one and steam one, and it's not bad to eat the original flavor directly. It's sweet anyway. Also, it's good to make pumpkin eight-treasure rice. The staple food has a ......

Thinking of this, I directly and generously took out the thousands of catties of pumpkins in the supermarket in the mall, and asked the chef of the Shangshi Bureau to help with it, and the big pumpkin was peeled and cut into pieces, of course, these pumpkin seeds have to be left and let them be used as seeds.

After the small pumpkin was washed directly, I tried to save trouble, and directly took out the eight-treasure porridge ingredients in the small package in the supermarket, and then slightly increased the proportion of rice in it, which was put into the prepared small pumpkin according to the proportion, and steamed directly with the particularly large steamer in the food bureau.

"Hmmm! The staple food is pretty much it. Oh yes, you have to put some pumpkin chunks in there, so it's not bad for them to eat some steamed pumpkin directly! ”

The main food was ready, and I started to plan how to cook again...... Because there are fresh chili peppers here, I was going to make some 'Sichuan dishes' such as fish-flavored shredded pork, but when I found out that I couldn't find even a piece of pork in the entire Shang Shi Bureau, I remembered that people in this era regarded pork as a food eaten by inferior people, so I couldn't find this at all in the Shang Shi Bureau......

I now understand a little bit of why my restaurant is so profitable...... In addition to MSG and chicken essence as a secret recipe in my restaurant, another point is that they can stir-fry dishes with pork......

But in that case, then I don't want to offend and leak the food for the sake of a meal! After all, my restaurant still uses this to make money...... So I just gave up on the previous idea.

Since I can't eat pork, then I'll just replace it with vegetarian dishes~ In this case, it's still the old way to make three fresh...... As for the corn, just boil the cobs in white water and add a slightly more laborious pine nut corn! I was surprised to find that there were actually a lot of shelled pine nuts in the food bureau. When I asked, I found out that this is all used for dim sum.

After waiting for the three fresh places to be arranged, I found that there was no vegetable oil here~ Then I could only take it from the mall...... I suddenly felt a little sorry for the eldest princess Xiaoli, no wonder she became a foodie when she traveled with me! It turns out that in this era, even in the palace, there is really nothing decent to eat!

"Huh? Is this ~ beef stew? "I was lamenting that there were no good ingredients in this food bureau when I saw a big pot of beef stew. Even though it looked like a clear soup, I could still smell a strong smell of green onions, ginger and garlic...... After tasting it, I found that in addition to a slight fishy smell that was not cleaned, it was unexpectedly delicious~ When I asked, I realized that this was actually stewed with a secret recipe in the Shang Food Bureau.

Although I also heard that I wanted to know what this secret recipe was, I was not a real chef when I thought about it, and now it is in the Tang Dynasty, except for the cattle and sheep on the grassland that can be eaten casually, beef cannot be easily eaten in the Tang Dynasty!

Besides, although this beef stew tastes good, it still doesn't taste as good as my usual stewed sauce beef. After all, I'm also a person with a slightly heavier taste and don't like to have a light mouth.

So I just fished a few pieces out of the pot, except for secretly hiding a piece in the warehouse, and deliberately put a refrigerator in it, and prepared to make all the rest into tomato brisket to fill the lunch of the civil and military officials......

"Just wait until I get home and give it to my maids......" I said silently.

The staple meat dish stir-fry is available, and there is boiled corn as a dessert, so I want to save trouble with the rest, so I directly took out a lot of hot sauce, opened the bottle and poured it on the plate as a dish! In this case, it means that I have used all these new 'grains' designated by the emperor! I should be satisfied now!

And there are meat, vegetarian, sweet and salty, which should also satisfy the civil and military officials...... But in the end, I deliberately took out a bunch of 'cornmeal' from the mall, asked the cook to scald the noodles with boiling water, and then steamed an extra pot of wowotou...... After all, there are only four dollars for Wowotou...... Ahh Said bald. I mean, after all, only Wowotou can really represent the representation that corn on the cob can be eaten as a staple food!

By the time all this is done, an hour has passed! By the way, I'm really not a cook! Obviously, there are so many people to help, and today's meal is all lazy work except for Di Sanxian, but even so, it still made me waste an hour to prepare everything.

On the way, I heard the civil and military officials waiting in the side hall send people to ask several times!

However, after this meal was cooked, these people, including His Majesty the Emperor, were very satisfied with the food one by one! Even the last wowotou was strengthened by everyone...... That thing doesn't taste very good, either! Can it still be popular? Sure enough, scarcity is expensive......

Also, the steamed pumpkin and boiled corn are also loved by everyone, and even I saw that Xiao Lizhi sneaked into the Shangshi Bureau and stole several boiled corn!

Because this meal made everyone very satisfied, it was time to continue the pilgrimage meeting in the afternoon. The officials of the six departments of the imperial court quarreled again, and they had to ask me to go to them to serve in person......

I had no choice but to bring up the old things again, and to bring up again the great ideal of running an academy and teaching all this knowledge...... After I finished speaking, I once again ushered in the expressions of these people who looked like fools~ and someone on the spot reiterated again that they would arrange all their children into my newly built college.

Anyway, in the end, the entire court, starting with the emperor, unanimously agreed to help me quickly build the academy and the women's army camp with all their might. Even the Ministry of Household Affairs said that it would allocate funds again to support the construction, and the Ministry of Industry would fully cooperate with them so that their craftsmen could fully support the construction. A large number of new conscripts will also be arranged...... It seems that in this case, although my academy cannot be built into the kind of high-end building of later generations as I imagined before~ Because of the loss of the support of the craftsmen of Lubanmen, the level of craftsmen in the imperial court is really impossible to compare with that of Lubanmen!

However, on the other hand, the full support of the imperial court will make the new academy more spacious and huge because of the abundant manpower! Although these craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering could not build a taller building, a two-story building was still fine. So when the time comes, I can redesign the blueprint of the plan, and then expand the scope of the academy, won't it solve the defect of not being able to build a high-rise?

Anyway, the address I chose is also in the wilderness, and the big deal is to let the imperial court draw an extra piece of land!

When these matters are discussed, the court will once again have a new reward for the new grain I have contributed today...... And even a reward of 10,000 gold! Hey! I really like this kind of reward!

It's just that after the court meeting ended, I just wanted to leave with Cheng Yanjin, but I was stopped by the little eunuch who ordered the order...... I was even placed in the palace for another night......

After this will was announced, even Cheng Yanjin on the side couldn't believe it. After all, it's the first time that an outsider has stayed in the palace! And let me go to the princess's palace? Even in the Tang Dynasty, when the people were fierce and open, this kind of thing happened for the first time!

"Do you want to recruit you as a 'son-in-law'?" Cheng Yanjin muttered a word and left.

I heard him mutter, but I felt in my heart that it wasn't like that. I always felt that His Majesty had treated me like a minor child at all!

"Hey, hey! Cheng Yanjin must have thought too much! ”
