Chapter 210 Single Diet
After this period of stability, the Wang family doesn't seem to be a demon anymore.
In the entire imperial court, no one directly hardened Li Chengqian, and after Xu Jingzong's incident, some ministers stayed away from Li Chengqian, for fear of making him unhappy, and he didn't even have his life.
Li Chengqian is also accustomed to these people's reactions, they like to drop as much as they like, anyway, it has nothing to do with them, if he wants to create a ruling team, these people will not become the first choice.
Even the opportunity to be selected as a five-grade official will not be given to them.
You don't have me as a prince in your heart, why should I give you a high-ranking official?
On this day, Empress Changsun took Wu Zetian to the East Palace to chat with Li Chengqian, and then left the East Palace because she had a trip in advance.
Only Wu Zetian and him were left in the East Palace.
Wu Zetian's face. It is definitely a must in Datang. Otherwise, how could Li Shimin and Li Zhi be attracted in the later stage? In the end, he became Emperor Wu.
For her, Li Chengqian's first impression felt good, she showed a beauty at a young age, which made people love and pity, plus she was very smart, Li Chengqian also liked to be with her.
The two inadvertently talked about cooking.
"Wu Jue, what do you think of my diet in the palace?"
The diet in the East Palace is the same as that of the Son of Heaven, and that is because of Li Shimin's preferential treatment.
At the same time, when Wu Jue came to the palace, he naturally ate with the eldest grandson queen.
When it comes to Datang's diet, we have to mention one point.
In ancient times, before enjoying the imperial meal, the emperor generally tasted it by the eunuchs. During the Li Shimin period of the Tang Dynasty, this important mission was undertaken by the Shang Shi Bureau, a major catering institution of the Tang Palace. The Shang Food Bureau is a new imperial food supervision agency established by the Sui and Tang governments on the basis of Guanglu Temple, in order to ensure that the palace diet conforms to the laws of nature, that is, the four seasons of "spring liver, summer heart, autumn lungs, and winter kidneys". The Food Bureau has a chef, a chef, a herb, a cook, and several food doctors.
Therefore, more than half of what you can eat can be regarded as the essence.
However, the contemporary dietary structure is a little simple, even in the palace, the way of cooking is only a few things, which makes Li Chengqian a little miserable.
He wants to eat the food of the future, mapo tofu, braised pork, spicy crayfish...... But there is none here.
Therefore, when he was chatting with Wu Zetian, he asked.
Wu Zetian is a personal essence, how can he say that it is not good?
She had to say: "The food in the palace is naturally wonderful, and it is an incomparable existence among the people. ”
She was telling a lie, and Li Chengqian could see it at a glance.
"Wu Jue, you don't have to worry too much about talking to this king, and this king won't talk about it with the emperor, so you just tell the truth."
Li Chengqian meant that he wanted to hear the truth.
Wu Zetian paused for a moment.
It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could see it at a glance.
"Honestly?"
"That's right! Truth! ”
"Actually, as long as you eat with your family, you can eat even coarse vegetables and light rice!"
She said her helplessness, although she lived a very leisurely life in the palace, but eating with others every day made her frightened.
Li Chengqian is also unable to do this.
had to say: "Regarding this matter, it is also the queen mother who likes you, because you are smart and clever, and ordinary people are not in her eyes." But recently, the queen mother often asks you to come over, and it is difficult for you! I'll tell her one day to let you go back and stay a little longer! ”
"No, no, no, the little girl didn't mean that."
Wu Zetian immediately corrected, how could she dare to say that the eldest grandson queen was not, unless she didn't want to die.
If someone with a heart goes around talking about it, it's really over.
Her face quickly turned from red to white, this is a crime of killing her head, if she is really to blame, not only will she die, but her family will also be affected.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It's okay, no third party will know about what I talked to this king today." Your mood is also understood by this king. Don't worry, if someone really dares to go against you, then this king will be the first to not let him go! ”
As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Wu Zetian's face was slightly better. And there are some touches.
"Come, come, what this king said is not about you in the palace, but about your real thoughts, about the structure of the diet!"
Li Chengqian turned the subject back.
Wu Zetian realized that he didn't want to hear her idea of living here, but wanted to know how she felt about food.
"It's the same as what I eat at home, but it's really delicate, the ingredients used are all high-quality, but the method is relatively simple. It tastes good but not particularly amazing! ”
The singleness she said was the characteristic of this period of the Tang Dynasty.
It is nothing more than roasting and steaming.
Other practices, such as stir-frying, are not available in Datang.
Moreover, it also uses less oil to cook, and Li Chengqian has a deep understanding of this.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to say that you want to eat stir-fried food unless you come by yourself.
Speaking of himself, he seemed to have a mastery of cooking, so he had an idea.
"That's right, this king thinks so too!"
Li Chengqian's words made Wu Zetian a little surprised, even the prince disliked the food in the palace?
What was going on, without waiting for her to react.
Li Chengqian said again: "This king recently read an ancient book, which has the essence of food culture, but in this way, how about this king make a few dishes and let you taste them?" ”
Wu Zetian was a little flattered, but then came worry.
"The little girl doesn't dare! The little girl didn't dare to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cook, let alone eat the dishes made by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
In ancient times, there were strict hierarchies, and each class had something to belong to.
It's almost impossible for people at the lower levels to get people at the top to do things.
If people know about it, then they will suffer.
That's why Wu Zetian was so resistant.
As for Li Chengqian, it doesn't matter so much.
"The so-called visitor is a guest, and you just help this king taste the taste? It's not that this king specializes in cooking for you, so you don't have to worry about that! ”
Li Chengqian's words dispelled Wu Zetian's thoughts.
Yes, that's okay too, there's nothing bad about it!
"That's it!"
"Yes, that's right!"
In fact, she doesn't have the right to choose, because she is a person wandering in the palace.
Faced with the existence of this third Datang person, she couldn't say no!
Because she has no way to refuse!
"That little girl is respectful and might as well obey her fate!"
In the end, she agreed.
Li Chengqian smiled.
"Good! You wait a while, this king has people prepare one or two! ”
After finishing, Li Chengqian ordered to go down.
The entire East Palace is starting to get busy.
Li Chengqian also mobilized the people in the entire Shangshi Bureau, and set up a small stove in the courtyard of the East Palace.
This time, he's going to put on a good show!
