On the third day of the court, Yan Chengjin was always faced with a cold face by Li Dongyang.

Li Zhaofan's fault for not doing his job was actually counted on his head.

If you can't make a press, you will have to deduct Li Zhaofan's salary for this month.

When Yan Chengjin left the palace, how could he greet him and said, "Young master, Li Zhaofan just came to the mansion and moved a big guy." ”

Peanut oil is still a scarce thing in Daming.

It's only five oils, and it's not enough to eat for yourself, so I don't plan to report it to Your Majesty.

At this time, Yan Fu,

There was a strange fragrance around him, and those who smelled it couldn't help but salivate and swallowed.

Jin Yiwei smelled the smell and said strangely: "Boss, what do you say?" It's so fragrant! ”

"Well, it's the first time I've smelled it."

Ye Zhun sucked a few sips fiercely, the rich aroma of peanut oil, just smelling it can make people feel good.

This thing must have all five flavors!

At this time, Li Zhaofan was in the side room of the old courtyard, and he had already built oil troughs and smashing wood, as well as grinding peanuts.

He knows how to install.

It's just that the wood is too heavy, and someone needs help to hang it.

The peanuts were crushed into dregs, and golden oil drips into the crockpot.

The aroma kept coming out, and the people in the house gathered in front of the door to watch.

Yan Chengjin smelled the strong fragrance of peanut oil, and when he walked into the house, he heard people shouting.

"Lord Yan, it's oil! It's really oily! ”

Li Zhaofan was excited, pointing to the half of the cans of oil that had just been squeezed out.

The plants that can be used to extract oil in the Ming Dynasty are very scarce.

One stone of sesame seeds can squeeze out two buckets of oil.

Regardless of lard or sesame oil, the aroma is not as good as the peanut oil in front of you, which is rich and tangy.

"No, you were blinded by your father for three days." Yan Chengjin cautiously scooped up the oil in the crockpot.

There is also dregs, which needs to be filtered and purified with gauze.

It is not difficult to squeeze the oil, and after frying, the peanuts are crushed into minced pieces, packed into iron rings, and made into discus.

The discus is then stacked on top of each other and pressed by striking the wood, and the oil flows out.

Not long after, Zhu Houzhao came to Yan's mansion.

Like a dog, he sniffed the fragrance in the air vigorously, and his eyes lit up: "There is something delicious in Lao Gao's mansion?!" ”

"The slave and maid also smell it, it's delicious..."

Zhu Houzhao walked into the mansion and saw He Neng holding Yan Chengjin's hand, crying like a mourner: "Young master, you can't pour it anymore, how can you pour so much oil to be a chicken, this is ...... This is a violent thing, a loser, too loser! ”

Yan Chengjin kicked He Neng away: "How can you make fried chicken without a pot of oil?!" Come on, keep pouring. ”

I haven't eaten fried chicken for a long time, and I'm hungry.

Freshly fried peanut oil is used to fry running chicken, which must be delicious.

Zhu Houzhao blinked, his face full of excitement: "Lao Gao, what are you doing?" ”

Yan Chengjin had a dark face, this guy came by coincidence.

"The minister has something important today, and it is inconvenient to receive it, so His Royal Highness should go back to the East Palace to study."

It was clearly passing the palace, Zhu Houzhao stared at the pot of hot oil.

I saw that the white and tender running chicken was put down, turned over with an iron hook, and fried until golden brown on both sides.

The smell of incense came to my face.

Half an hour later, Zhu Houzhao ate with relish: "Lao Gao, will you fry another one?" Hongu still wants to eat. ”

"The minister has this intention, come and change a pot of new oil."

He Neng and Li Zhaofan's faces changed greatly.

Oil is more expensive than refined salt, and I don't know how many sesame seeds are needed to squeeze out a pot of oil.

There were very few people in the Ming Dynasty who planted sesame seeds.

When the weather is cold, the grain yield is reduced, and there are fewer people who grow sesame seeds.

"Young master, there's still oil in the pot."

"If you fry it once and then fry it, you will get seriously ill if you eat it, use new oil, and fry two of them this time." Yan Chengjin Road.

Ye Zhun picked it up on the eaves outside the mansion and saw it clearly.

To make a chicken, you need a pot of oil, and the dining room in the palace does not dare to cook it like this.

He quickly jumped off the eaves and entered the palace to report.

…………

Xinuan Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the sparse performance of Guanglu Temple and said: "From today on, all temples and Taoist temples will be rejected and not allowed. ”

Seeing Guanglu Temple's request to prepare for the winter solstice, His Majesty advocated frugality again.

Jiuqing hurriedly responded.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly worried, and looked at Li Dongyang: "Since the fight, Master Li has been absent-minded, if there is something important, you can go down to the court first." ”

Xiao Jing also noticed that from the moment he entered the hall, Li Dongyang stared directly at his dust.

In the past, when His Majesty gave an order, Master Li always had to think twice before admonishing.

Li Dongyang knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly said: "Hainan has brought back a thing, and Yan Chengjin ordered my son Zhaofan to prepare equipment to squeeze five oils." ”

Five oil?

This is even more embarrassing than hearing 10,000 taels of silver.

There is very little oil that Daming can squeeze out.

In this winter, the crops are all dead, and there are still materials for extracting oil.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "But Yan Chengjin has never been empty-mouthed." ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "This is exactly what surprised the minister, is it possible, can it really squeeze out oil?" ”

"Where's Yan Chengjin?"

"Rest in the house, say that you are not feeling well, and you will be on duty at the end of the day." Xiao Jing reported and continued: "The prince is not in the palace either. ”

It must be a good thing for these two people to get together.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "Send someone to the mansion to see what Yan Chengjin is doing." ”

Xiao Jing ran out of the hall, ready to arrange the factory guards, but saw Mu Bin coming.

"Your Majesty ordered us to inquire about Yan Chengjin, can the commander have any news?"

"Yes, you don't have to."

Mu Bin strode into the hall and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin is eating chicken in the house." ”

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers looked as usual.

"Nothing other than eating chicken?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, eating chicken is a strange move."

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised, ordinary people for ten days and a half months, eating a chicken is not a problem, let alone Yan Chengjin has silver.

"Yan Chengjin needs to use a pot of oil to make a chicken."

What a luxury!

There's at least two buckets in a pot of oil, right? How many sesame seeds do you need to squeeze them out?

Buying two buckets of oil is enough for a large family to eat for a month, and you actually use two months of oil to make a dish?

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi clenched his teeth, and Xiao Jing hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry......

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Mu Bin wanted to speak and stopped, and scolded harshly: "What else? ”

"Yan Chengjin not only fried the chicken in a pot, but also poured the oil, saying that the fried oil could not be eaten."

This is a boiled crane burning qin!

How many people can't afford to eat oil, and you dare to pour it out.

A pot of oil...... poured.

Emperor Hongzhi is inexplicably distressed, and I can also eat it.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth tightly.

The hundred officials showed indignation.

Seeing this, Mu Bin hurriedly interceded for Yan Chengjin: "Your Majesty, this oil was fried by Yan Chengjin himself, not a squander." ”

If Yan Chengjin bought oil from the market, His Majesty could still hurt it in the name of extravagance.

But this oil was fried by Yan Chengjin himself.

What else can you say?

Emperor Hongzhi was half angry, but he still said angrily: "He thinks that this is what he squeezed out himself, and I won't punish him?" ”

Baiguan nodded in agreement.

"He was passed into the palace, and the oil-squeezing equipment and peanuts were also moved into the palace."

Mu Bin went to pass the decree nervously, the virtuous nephew shouldn't blame him for Gao Mi, if this relationship is broken, how can he be embarrassed to ask him to do something.

When they came to Yan's Mansion, Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao were full of milk and chickens.

"Virtuous nephew, Your Majesty let you enter the palace, and the peanuts and equipment will also be moved to the palace." Mu Bin reminded: "Your Majesty has the intention of blaming. ”

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to lift the equipment and move the peanut oil and equipment to the palace.

When they walked to the imperial steps outside the hall, the officials smelled a peculiar fragrance, turned their heads, and salivated.

I've never smelled like this.

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to hold the brocade plate: "The minister invites Your Majesty and the princes to eat fried chicken." ”

This is the chicken fried with peanuts, Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to eat it at all, but wanted to see the peanuts that could be fried in oil, how many people in the world could not afford to eat oil.

"How many stone peanuts do you need to squeeze one oil?"

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said conservatively: "Three stones." ”

The two stone peanuts are almost the same, and the steamed peanuts still carry water vapor.

"Three stones of peanuts can get one oil?" Emperor Hongji was suddenly moved.

"Your Majesty, this oil is really fragrant!"

The officials praised each other, their mouths were full of oil, and they almost sucked their fingers.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's appetite was aroused, "How did you squeeze this oil?" ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to allow Li Zhaofan to enter the palace."
