Chapter 217: Five Cauldrons
I want to see what kind of dishes Qian'er will have! ”
Li Shimin said that just now, he was indeed refreshed to his understanding.
Because the dishes made by Li Chengqian were completely beyond their imagination.
I'm afraid that no one can make cold dishes like Li Chengqian, and the taste is very good. A large plate was directly eaten by them, and the people on the side had never seen Li Shimin like this, generally speaking, it was very face-saving for him to eat a few bites.
Li Chengqian said: "Father, mother, please look! ”
When he finished, he copied out a pot.
For Li Shimin, the expression of feeling magic is not much less than that of others.
And like Xue Rengui, they seem to be used to it, so they don't have any special feelings. Because they've seen it just now. I just don't know exactly how it's used.
"Qian'er, what is this? Looking at the unique shape, why have I never seen it! ”
"yes, I've never seen this thing either, and when you pick it up, it seems very light? Much lighter than what we usually use! ”
Datang's cooking utensils are not light, and they have never been like such a pot that can be picked up by a child.
Sometimes the older adults can't move it, but their role is to cook, and generally no one moves them, right?
And Li Chengqian did it.
That's why they're surprised.
"This is called a pot, and it is a utensil for stir-frying!"
Wok? What is a pot, that is, the utensils in front of Li Chengqian? Looks a little magical!
"Stir-fry? What is stir-fry? How to do it? ”
Now, two new terms came out.
The two couples were completely puzzled.
This was only the beginning of Li Chengqian's performance, and they had a lot of confusion.
"This is a utensil made by the method written in the ancient text, and stir-frying is to put the dish inside, stir it with oil, and stir it at high temperature, so that the seasoning can be integrated into the dish......"
Li Chengqian explained as simply as possible, but after listening to it, everyone seemed to understand, and as if they didn't understand, they were still at a loss.
What does that mean?
Why?
Can you eat it? Is it tasty?
Especially Si Shan and others, they felt that Li Chengqian was a kind of desecration of food and drink this time, if it weren't for his identity, he would have been sprayed beyond recognition at this time.
Li Chengqian ignored what everyone thought. He directly picked up five cauldrons and washed them quickly.
Does this mean that he wants to cook five dishes at once? It must be like this!
If you're a powerful chef, you're probably not afraid to do that.
Because five dishes are sure to keep them scrambling.
Who would dare to do that?
But he has a proficient cooking body, and the five dishes are still few, and the difference is not much here.
Otherwise, it can be a little more.
In fact, the time of each dish is different. As long as you control the time, it's very simple!
"Father, Emperor Mother, please look!"
After finishing, Li Chengqian raised his knife and picked up a yam, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger.
That knife work is simply the pinnacle.
In just a moment, the yam was slipped into several neat sizes.
And that's not all, there's a well-killed chicken next to him.
He swung his kitchen knife again.
Bang bang bang
With a slash, the chicken instantly turned into a large number of small pieces.
They were then thrown into the pot together.
And Li Chengqian's next is to put ginger and other seasonings.
Close the lid and it's over!
Si Shan and the others also lit a fire under the stove, and the fire burned.
His approach is dazzling.
It seems that there is no order, but in fact he is doing it step by step.
This dish is a little longer, so he makes it first.
If it's a pot. Li Shimin wants to eat his food, and he may have to wait for a long time.
"Okay, this dish will wait for half a stick of incense! That's it! ”
didn't wait for Li Shimin to ask.
He began to take out another set of ribs.
Click, click, another slash.
People are terrified to see it.
"This ...... Is this a second course? ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Father."
"And this meat is mutton?"
The main meat of Datang is mutton.
Li Chengqian said: "No, it's pork!" ”
Since the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of northern nomads went south, and after more than 300 years of war, they were first unified in Sui and then in Tang. Although the Li family, which established the Tang Dynasty, was Han Chinese, it had long been seriously Hu. This is true of the royal family, as well as of the nobles and bureaucrats who can afford to eat meat. The Hu people naturally preferred mutton, and in the following hundreds of years, pork gradually declined.
Therefore, pork is not well known to others.
They may even think that pork is not tasty.
And Li Chengqian's approach obviously made Li Shimin feel strange.
"Can you eat this pork?"
Hence this question.
That's because he hasn't eaten pork, or doesn't know if he's ever eaten pork.
It was also because the practices at that time were too backward.
What Li Chengqian wants to say is that pork is better than mutton, at least it doesn't have that kind of smell.
More suitable for making something light.
For example, the dishes he wants to make now will definitely surprise Li Shimin!
"Father, you may not have eaten it before, but Erchen can guarantee that this dish is absolutely top-quality, and it is guaranteed to make you have an endless aftertaste!"
I haven't made a dish yet, so I dare to say that, I'm afraid only Li Chengqian will do this.
Empress Eldest Sun said on the side: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Qian'er finish it, how about we try again?" ”
Also, I haven't made a dish yet, so I suspect that the dish can't be eaten, which doesn't bring this.
"Okay, I'll have a good taste for a while. You continue! ”
"Yes!"
After that, Li Chengqian put the pork ribs into a second pot full of water and blanched them over high heat.
This is yet another dish that takes time to process.
Take advantage of the blanching time.
His kitchen knife got up again, and he directly cut a large amount of ginger and garlic together for later use.
His approach was a source of astonishment.
This step by step doesn't look like cooking at all.
Especially Si Shan, their eyes were a little surprised.
Is this still cooking? Isn't it good at all?
Empress Eldest Sun had also cooked, and when she saw Li Chengqian doing this, her brows furrowed.
After all, this method is too advanced, and it is not at all a dish that people recognize.
But before I ate it, I couldn't say anything.
If Li Chengqian really succeeds, then this time, he will definitely set off a revolution.
Something like a pot will definitely catch fire, and the diet structure of the entire Datang will also change.
People are becoming more adept at cooking.
And the food is also better.
Next, Li Chengqian said: "Come on, bring the fish!" ”
Si Shan should be, so he picked up a fish of about a pound and put it on the case board.
"What kind of fish is this?"
Li Shimin looked at it and asked.
"This is Guiyu!"
The eldest grandson queen saw it from afar, and then said.
