Chapter 214: National Cuisine
It's Li Shimin, they actually came.
This made Li Chengqian a little surprised, obviously he should be criticizing the folds at this time, why did he come over?
And it's not just one person, but the eldest grandson emperor also came.
She had something to leave just now, and it was only a while, why did she come back again?
Who notified them to come? Or did the two of them just come in when they passed by the East Palace, and then heard Wu Zetian's praise later?
He was really confused.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still said:
"The sons and daughters meet their father, the emperor and the queen mother!"
"See the Emperor and Her Royal Highness!"
And they saluted.
Then, Li Shimin signaled that everyone should not be polite.
Then, he walked to Li Chengqian's side and looked at the plate of emerald green cucumbers on the table.
He just picked up the plate and sniffed it.
"Huh? The taste of this dish is very unique, how is it made? I heard Wu Jue say that this dish is delicious? ”
As soon as Li Shimin came, two questions were raised.
Li Chengqian responded: "This dish is for cold cucumbers!" It's all raw, not cooked! ”
"Cold cucumber, and this kind of dish? And the cold salad? ”
Empress Eldest Sun also came over and asked.
Li Chengqian wanted to say that everything can be mixed. Mutton, pig's head, and some greens, but they have to be cooked.
In response to their question, Li Chengqian said:
"Yes! This is what Erchen learned from ancient books! ”
He pushed everything to the ancient books, at least true or not, who knows?
If they were to find out where the ancient books came from, then he would surely say, forgot.
And Li Shimin will not pursue it, nor will he want to know which ancient book it came from.
"Oh? And such ancient books? ”
Li Shimin expressed great interest.
"Yes, father, the emperor has memorized the contents of this ancient book, but when I wanted to look for it that day, I couldn't find it. The book has been lost. ”
If you lose it, no one will care.
Sure enough, Li Shimin said:
"Well, let me taste what kind of existence is made by this ancient book method!"
After finishing, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and directly picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.
That's it!
When the cucumber was put in his mouth, his expression lit up. With my eyes closed, it was a treat!
He was even reluctant to chew it.
Just put the dish in your mouth, it's a little indecent!
It made everyone very curious.
Why? Is this dish really delicious? It's not so much delicious as it is a feeling that has never been felt before.
I'm afraid that only Li Chengqian and Wu Zetian know how this dish tastes.
No one else knows.
Empress Eldest Sun asked even more curiously, "Your Majesty? How is this dish? ”
Only then did Li Shimin realize that he was eating.
So he chewed.
That bite is cool and the seasoning is even more flavorful.
The face was filled with satisfaction.
"Good stuff, really good stuff! Rong Zhen took another bite. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, like Wu Zetian, he picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.
Then I ate it in one bite.
He's the emperor, and he's gobbling it up.
This made the people around look at it, and they were a little speechless.
But who would dare to say no?
No one dared to say anything about him.
After the end, Li Shimin seemed to notice that something was wrong.
The people on the side are still watching!
He picked up another piece and handed it to Empress Changsun.
"Come on, come on, concubine, you can also take a bite and try it."
Empress Eldest Sun's mouth was closed one by one.
The expression is even more satisfying.
Empress Changsun's appearance is in Li Shimin's entire harem, but she is famous, and she used to eat very beautifully, but today, she gave up her reserve and ate directly.
Wu Zetian looked at Li Chengqian, she must have a lot of questions in her heart, why the little boy in front of her could do anything.
He is proficient in poetry, Buddhism, and cooking.
There may really be nothing he won't.
But thinking that Li Chengqian is the crown prince, this doubt is a little smaller. Naturally, he received more education than ordinary people! A little more stuff, it doesn't seem like much!
Li Chengqian ignored Wu Zetian, just looked at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
At this time, the two of them directly finished this plate of cold cucumbers.
There wasn't even a bit of soup left, and the whole plate was clean.
It's all too fast, too fast to be imagined.
Finally, Li Shimin wiped off a piece of minced garlic from the corner of his mouth.
It's hilarious.
Is this still the emperor?
How could there be such an emperor?
It's like a hungry ghost, hungry and hungry.
That's also because they have never eaten anything like this, and a few simple combinations make a taste that is not simple.
In their mouths, it's not a dish, it's an attitude.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten anything so delicious! I didn't expect it to be able to eat today. It really surprised me! ”
This may be the highest evaluation Li Shimin has ever given.
Then he remembered what Li Chengqian had said.
"Qian'er, you said you learned this dish from an ancient book? So did you make this dish, or did you make it? ”
Si Shan stepped forward directly and said, "Your Majesty, this dish is made by His Royal Highness the Prince, and we are only helping on the side!" ”
He didn't dare to take credit for himself, because in that case, he wouldn't do himself any good.
It will even hang itself up.
"Oh? When will Qian'er cook? ”
Li Shimin asked again.
In his memory, Li Chengqian couldn't even hold a knife, how could he cook? The conductor is pretty much the same!
"Father, the son understands a little!"
Li Chengqian said.
"This is very good, you have to be humble!"
Empress Eldest Sun said cooperatively.
"Good! Chef, do you know how to do it? ”
"Your Majesty, after the ministers read it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a teaching, and he will also know."
"Very good, this dish will become the national dish in the future, I have to eat it once every three days, you remember!"
"Yes!"
The chef should be yes.
And Li Shimin suddenly remembered something. "Speaking of dishes, it's just that I'm a little puzzled, Qian'er, tell me about it, what is the reason?"
"Father, please speak!"
Si Shan breathed a sigh of relief, if he really went to take it, he was afraid that he would die, because the next question was not something he could answer.
"When I ate this cold cucumber, I didn't taste the bitterness, did you add any seasoning?"
Li Shimin asked.
Empress Eldest Sun also felt the same way.
"The emperor didn't say it, the concubine really didn't feel it, she only cared about eating for herself just now, but she ignored this existence."
Since Li Shimin asked here, then Li Chengqian will not be polite.
His answer can be said to be very standard, and he will also lead the troubles to the east, so as to accomplish what he wants to do.
