Chapter 213: Cold Cucumber
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do first?"
Wu Zetian asked.
She also wanted to know what Li Chengqian was going to cook, and if it was just the same dish as usual, it would disappoint her.
She didn't want to believe it either.
But how is that possible?
What he brings is what the 21st century should be.
It is the essence of more than 1,000 years later.
It's a good thing that people in this era can never eat.
Although they are all simple combinations, what bursts out is a different taste bud experience. It looks simple, but if you don't master the timing and matching, the taste will be completely different. People are so picky about food.
Li Chengqian glanced at the dishes on the side.
There are many options.
The first thing that catches your eye is the cucumber, which is not only a cucumber at this time, but also a courgette.
At that time, because Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and brought back a large number of rare treasures, cucumber is one of them, because it was brought from the Western Regions, and the Central Plains people at that time called the tribes other than the Han people collectively called the Hu people, so cucumbers are also the same as garlic (hu), sesame (flax), walnuts (walnuts), broad beans (Hu dou) and other items, and there is also a Hu character in the name, which is called Hu gourd.
But because later Emperor Shi Le, because he was born in the northern Qian, so he hated that people put the word "Hu" when they said something or called the northern people, he thought it was a kind of discrimination, so he issued an order so that people in the whole country should not appear the word Hu when speaking and writing articles, and violators would be beheaded.
So in one courgette, it is naturally called cucumber!
"Let's have an appetizer first, this dish is for cold cucumbers! Dishes that don't have to be cooked! ”
What is an appetizer? And still not cooked? Can you eat it?
At the same time, it can frighten the chef.
"Cucumbers should not be eaten raw! I'm afraid it's going to hurt my stomach! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is delicate, no! ”
In his opinion, this cucumber should not be eaten indiscriminately, at least among the royal family, and it should not be eaten raw.
I don't know it among the people, but if you're really hungry, you must have something to eat.
"Have you eaten it?"
Li Chengqian asked rhetorically.
"No ......"
"You haven't eaten it yet, how do you know it's going to hurt your stomach?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"This ...... The little ones are also heard! ”
Si Shan was speechless.
I have to say so.
As far as Li Chengqian knows, cucumber is also a good choice to beat the heat, especially because of its juicy existence, which can make people who are originally thirsty more comfortable.
Of course, the taste of boiled and raw is completely different.
It can be boiled and fried, boiled with eggs, or with ham. But only cold salad is the most delicious raw!
"Okay, if you don't understand, ask less and talk less, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"
This guy is very annoying, so Li Chengqian said so.
Si Shan didn't dare to speak.
If you go on any further, I'm afraid you're going to lose your head.
The child in front of them, who was less than ten years old, gave them a sense of staying away.
Then, Li Chengqian chose a cucumber of uniform thickness, washed it, waved a kitchen knife, and removed the head and tail.
Then, he took the knife and slapped the cucumber directly.
This method of cooking stunned the people around me.
After a few moments, the whole cucumber was flattened.
Finally he cut it into small pieces.
Add the salt you just made and marinate.
Then he did the same, smashing the garlic as well.
After a series of operations, the surrounding people were stunned.
They all have a word in their hearts that they want to say.
Is the prince really cooking?
Don't go overboard with this dish at all, just do it?
Questions like this come up a thousand times in people's minds.
In the end, it was not until Li Chengqian said, "Okay, it's done!" ”
An emerald green cold cucumber appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Come on, come on, Wu Jue, how about you try this dish?"
Li Chengqian pointed to the dish that had just been made and said.
"Can you really eat this?"
Maybe she meant, is this really delicious?
Li Chengqian knew the meaning of her words.
"Just try it, it will definitely change your perception of the dishes!"
Li Chengqian said it very mysteriously.
Even Xue Rengui of Mu Ne was a little tempted.
After all, this so-called dish is very different from the dish they know.
"Then the little girl will try to see if it is as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."
In fact, even if it is not delicious, how dare they say that it is not good?
Li Chengqian also knows this, but he wants to say that this dish is really good.
Wu Zetian picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in front of his mouth, and the smell of cucumber, garlic and other spices came to his face.
"The scent is unique! Why haven't you tried it before? ”
"You take a bite and see."
Li Chengqian said expectantly.
Wu Zetian didn't even think about it, and put the cucumber directly in his mouth.
Her eating appearance is very elegant, and at a glance, she knows that she is everyone's beautiful feeling.
This kind of tutoring is taught from a young age.
is not cultivated, otherwise she would not have provoked the love of the eldest grandson queen.

People seem to hear the crisp sound of cucumbers in their mouths.
After eating this first bite, Wu Zetian's expression turned into wonderful.
Inevitably, I chewed a few more bites.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva freely.
They want to ask, is it delicious?
Looking at her expression, it was satisfaction.
This dish must not be bad.
Li Chengqian smiled and asked, "How is it?" ”
Wu Zetian swallowed that bite and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let Xiao Nu take another bite. It was so delicious just now that the little girl disappeared before she felt its beauty. ”
When she was done, she ate another piece.
It can be seen from the side that this dish is to her liking, otherwise how could ordinary people ask for another bite after eating it?
Now people were completely convinced by Li Chengqian.
Even if Wu Zetian hasn't said anything yet, it can be seen from her performance alone that this dish is really delicious.
Li Chengqian was not in a hurry, just looked at Wu Zetian.
He waited like a gentleman for Wu Zetian to finish eating the cucumbers.
In the end, Wu Zetian licked the sweat on his lips, and he was still unsatisfied.
Even if she wants to eat it again, I'm afraid she will have to say it before eating.
So under Li Chengqian's gaze, she said: "This dish has a crisp taste, fragrant taste, refreshing and appetizing, super delicious!" The little girl has never eaten such a dish, and she didn't expect that such a simple few things, put together, would be such a magical existence! Great, it's just great, this dish is amazing! ”
This may be Wu Zetian's best and highest evaluation of Li Chengqian's dishes.
Her voice was so loud that it could be heard from afar.
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded.
"What kind of dish can make Wu Jue praise so much? I want to eat too! ”
