As soon as he entered the storage room, sure enough, the ingredients here were not good, and there were not many samples, but when Chen Fang saw a piece of pork, his eyes lit up.

There is absolutely no such thing in the imperial dining room, and the emperor's concubines in the palace do not eat pork, and in their eyes, pigs are dirty and lowly livestock.

After looking in the storage room, Chen Fang was holding a corn, a little embarrassed.

Isn't this thing supposed to lie in the deep mountains and old forests of the American continent, and only the Native Americans use it as food to make tortillas?

Why is it now in the kitchen of the Yeting Palace?

The butterfly effect, it must be the butterfly effect, could it be that the Northern Han Dynasty has discovered the American continent? Nima, if this is the case, Columbus knows, will the coffin be lifted. No, Columbus was born early, nearly a thousand years away.

There is only one possibility that corn appeared in the kitchen of the Yeting Palace, that is, the American continent had been discovered by the people of the Northern Han Dynasty at this time.

It is not surprising that during the colder ice ages in history, Asia and the Americas were connected by ice shelves, which extended in the Bering Strait, and as long as people walked through the large ice shelves, they could walk to the Americas.

And as a traverser, even if Liu Xiu is ignorant and incompetent, it is impossible not to even know that there is a continent in the Americas in this world. Therefore, the Northern Han Dynasty should have discovered the American continent long ago, and may have even operated there for hundreds of years.

If so, then the strength of the Northern Han will have to be reassessed. Of course, this is not something that Chen Fang is worried about, he is still in the stage of how to live, and where is his turn to worry about national affairs.

If the Northern Han court knew about the existence of the Americas and sent people to the Americas, then it would not be surprising that corn, watermelons, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and other American specialties were transmitted to the Tang Dynasty through the Northern Han Dynasty.

Butterfly effect, Chen Fang looked at the corn again, the corn is not big, only the palm is big, and the grains are not particularly neat. Compared with the corn of later generations, one seems to have a tooth straightening, while the other seems to have no tooth straightening.

It just so happens that the pork is a piece of rib meat, and the pork ribs will be removed later, just to make a corn rib soup. Of course, you also need some green onions and ginger, and the green onions are best chives, but Chen Fang didn't find them, only found some green onions, so he could only use them.

These onions, ginger and leeks were planted in the Han Dynasty, and they are clearly recorded in Sima Qian's historical records, so it is normal for the kitchen of the Tang Dynasty to have green onions and ginger.

What Chen Fang didn't understand was that since the green onion and ginger appeared so early, why didn't the Tang people know about using green onion and ginger to remove the earthy smell of pork.

Presumably, pork has not been treated well by the upper class, which is why it is so.

Since there were few greenhouses in ancient times, the dishes were all seasonal dishes, and some very common dishes in later generations were almost impossible to find.

And many later generations of vegetables were gradually evolved and cultivated later, and there was certainly no at this time, such as cabbage, cabbage gradually evolved from the later woad cabbage, and woad was eaten on a large scale in the Song Dynasty.

Chen Fang was depressed, but in a remote corner, Chen Fang found a few potatoes and some peppers, which were also vegetables native to the Americas.

It seems that like corn, it was transmitted to Datang in advance due to the butterfly effect.

Both corn and potato peppers are characterized by strong adaptability and high yields. Leaving the Americas, the soil in Asia can adapt to grow quickly, or even grow better.

For example, before Chen Fang crossed, Huaxia was a big country in the production, processing and consumption of chili peppers.

These crops should be widely cultivated now, otherwise they would not have appeared in the kitchens where the palace maids cooked.

When leaving the kitchen pantry, Tao Hong carried a bunch of pork and two potatoes, while Chen Fang only held two corns, and the two healthy women took a large pile of ingredients, many of which Chen Fang did not know what they were called, but could only roughly tell what type of vegetables they were.

For example, spinach, which was brought back by Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, was already planted in large quantities in the Tang Dynasty. For example, green vegetables, but they are shorter and thinner than those of later generations, after all, the green vegetables of later generations do not know how much cultivation and improvement they have undergone.

Borrowing the stove from the kitchen, Chen Fang plans to start cooking here.

Taohong was about to stop it, but was glared at by Chen Fang, and immediately did not dare to speak.

"Childe is doing things for Niangniang, Childe is doing things for Niangniang! ...”

There, I saw Chen Fang rolling up his sleeves and preparing to cook himself. A few cooks hurriedly came over to help, washing the vegetables, and cutting the vegetables.

Chen Fang found a bone razor and was about to remove the pork ribs, and a healthy woman who followed Chen Fang there quickly took the bone razor and let Chen Fang command.

What exactly Chen Fang did, these people don't know. But they all understand that Chen Fang is a nobleman, how can he let Chen Fang do such a rough job.

Chen Fang was also helpless, commanding a few cooks and two healthy women to be busy, dicing, shredding, deboning and cutting meat, several cooks were all good hands, and the two healthy women did the hard work of deboning and chopping bones, and they also did a good job.

The steamed rice there was handed over to the cook, but the stir-fry and soup had to be done by himself.

It's just that the pink who volunteered to burn the fire there smeared her face black, but she didn't burn the fire.

Chen Fang shook his head, this girl didn't seem to have done much rough work since she entered the palace.

Chen Fang took out some firewood from the stove and used a wooden stick to pluck it on the stove a few times, and soon the fire was strong.

"Childe, how did this fire get hot, I didn't burn it for half a day."

"Don't add so much firewood!"

As for the principle that people should be solid and fire should be humble, Chen Fang felt that it was not suitable to talk to Taohong.

"Oh! The slave knows! ”

"Have you cut and washed all the carrots, corn and ribs?"

"It's all right!"

At this time, the water in the pot has been boiled, Chen Fang puts the ribs into the pot, and the ribs need to be blanched first to skim off the foam.

Chen Fang's technique is skillful, but it's a pity that there is only an iron pot here, and there is no casserole, otherwise it is better to make soup in a casserole.

"Another pot!"

A cook there hurriedly lit the fire, and the fire quickly burned, compared to the peach, this kitchen was obviously full of fire skills.

Chen Fang put the rapeseed oil into the pot, and soon a unique fragrance of rapeseed oil spread in the extremely large kitchen.

When the shredded green onion and ginger are put into the pot, a strange fragrance has quickly spread.

The combination of rapeseed oil and green onion and ginger has never smelled pink, and several chefs have also smelled it for the first time.

"Childe, it's so fragrant!"

"It will be more fragrant in a while! Burn your fire, don't make it too big, remember, don't add too much firewood. ”

"Well, the slave knows. Childe, can you taste the pink of the dish that will be made in a while? Just pay a little. ”

"You can all taste it, this meal is for you who squeezed out the canola oil! Of course, a few cooks have helped so much, and I'll try it later. ”
