Chapter 195: Cooking for Li Shimin's family
After Shen Shi, Fang Jing was taken to the kitchen of the Shang Food Bureau, and even Gao Mingli and they came, Fang Jing saw that these two little babies had grown up a lot, but they were not as small as before.
After Fang Jing entered the kitchen, he looked at the officials in charge of the kitchen, whether it was the officials, of course, most of them were women, there were many eunuchs, and there were even more people in the other palaces, Fang Jing didn't know what to call them, however, in the inner palace, there must be a position, and the position may not be too high.
Fang Jing opened his mouth and asked them for a lot of ingredients, and blasted away all the people, leaving only two people, at least one of them had to be the one who burned the fire, and there had to be one who started to fight, not that Fang Jing had to bombard everyone here, after all, the food made was for Li Shimin's family to eat, but it couldn't be messed around, plus if someone had bad intentions and put some poison, then Fang Jing couldn't explain what was going on.
Fang Jing asked a female palace person to bring a lot of water, cleaned all the ingredients again, and washed all the tools by the way, and then began to cut the vegetables.
When I saw Lizhi just now, I have been thinking about Fang Jing's braised pork, so tonight's braised pork must be indispensable, beans and eggplants are also indispensable, by the way, I got a stir-fried minced garlic water spinach, plus a soybean stuffed pig's feet, and an egg lean meat soup, and finally made a steamed fish with shallots.
Water spinach, native to China, and Southeast Asia, in ancient times was called Tongcai, cabbage, bamboo vegetables, etc., is an alkaline cool vegetable, a vegetable with high fiber content, has a great effect on cooling blood and stopping bleeding, of course, it also has a good effect on blood in the stool, constipation, hemorrhoids, etc.
When Fang Jing was stir-frying, he invited Li Shimin and his wife out, so Li Zhen was very curious, so he had to follow up and watch, when he was at Fang Jing's house, it was the same, the busiest was Fang Jing, plus two palace people, Li Zhen was a curious baby, and from time to time he had to ask a few questions, and Fang Jing would also answer.
"Brother Jing, can I eat a piece of this braised pork first? It smells so good, I haven't eaten Brother Jing's food for a long time. Li Zhen stared at the braised pork that had been fried, her saliva was about to flow out, and she asked Fang Jing pitifully.
"Okay, Brother Jing will clip a piece for you, you taste it first, don't let your father know, if it is known, he will discipline you." Fang Jing took a piece of braised pork and handed it to Lizhi's mouth, not forgetting to make a joke.
"Wow, it's delicious, it's delicious, Brother Jing, the dishes you made are really good." Although Xiao Lizhi had eaten Fang Jing's food before, after all, it was a few years ago, and she was able to eat Fang Jing's food again now, so it was not a reminiscence.
"I'll eat it after it's served in a while, and I'll be short of the last vegetable, and I'll be fine right away." Fang Jing knows that these snacks, as long as they are delicious, they basically won't stop talking, just like their little sister, they are all snacks.
said that it was delicious, but in fact, it could only blame Fang Jing, Fang Jing had to use a lot of oil every time she stir-fried food, add seasonings, and all kinds of seasonings were like no money, not to mention oil, the little baby in the family went from being thin and weak to now starting to gain weight, so you know how Fang Jing's food is.
"Okay, you two carry a few food boxes, put these dishes in them, and follow me later." Fang Jing finally fried the last vegetable, which can be regarded as the end of the experience of this Shang Shi Bureau, Fang Jing has never been here before, he has been to the back kitchen of the Qin Wangfu before, but compared to here, it is a small thing.
Fang Jing was holding a large clay pot, the clay pot was full of white rice, a subordinate was carrying a large food box with several plates of vegetables in it, and the other subordinate was carrying another food box, in which was placed a large bowl of soup and chopsticks for a while.
"Holy Lord, Queen, the dish is fried, it's ready to eat, please lead the way." Fang Jing walked out of the kitchen and said to Li Shimin and his wife.
"Mr. hard work, it's rare for you to come to Chang'an, and you have to cook some food for our family, I'm really embarrassed." The queen leaned over and whispered to Fang Jing.
"Sir worked hard, just now we smelled the aroma of Mr. fried vegetables outside, but we couldn't slander it." Li Shimin said casually.
"You're welcome, it's nothing, it's just some food, I'm lazy, I'll do it once if I'm interested, and I won't do it if I'm not interested, the queen knows best." Fang Jing told the truth, no matter what Li Shimin and his wife thought, but the queen knew best, and she wouldn't have any ideas, Li Shimin's words were probably not much different from the queen, if she really had any ideas, Fang Jing didn't know, just let him go.
Coming to a palace in the inner garden, Fang Jing was not polite, after putting down the clay pot, he took the food box in the hands of the two subordinates, opened the food combination, and began to hold the dishes, put them on a low couch, and put a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, although there are only four dishes and one soup, but this amount is a lot, just these few people eat, it is estimated that there will be a lot left after a while.
In the end, Fang Jing took the bowl, filled everyone with food, and shouted to Li Shimin's family, 'Open to eat'.
"Holy Lord, no, I haven't tried the dish yet." An official walked over, saluted Li Shimin, and stopped.
"You all step down, if Mr. wants to harm me, there is no need to be so troublesome, not to mention that Mr. will not harm me, you are too careful, retreat." After Li Shimin was stopped, he was unhappy, this didn't make Fang Jing suspicious, so when he spoke, he was a little angry.
Fang Jing didn't speak, staring at Li Shimin with his eyes open, wanting to see if Li Shimin was really unintentional or intentional, maybe in Fang Jing's heart, it may be unintentional, as the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, someone must need to taste the food, poison is not something that can be seen so simply that it can be seen.
"Brother Jing, I haven't eaten this braised pork for several years, this time I eat this braised pork again, it tastes really good, and this soybean stuffed pig's feet, the taste is so good, it's so fragrant." Xiao Lizhi doesn't care about anything, let's eat first, this is the case in Fang Jing's house, as long as Fang Jing says to eat, she immediately eats the vegetables.
"Beauty, have etiquette." Li Shimin looked at his daughter, glared and said.
"Saint, there is no need for so many etiquette, the queen actually knows that this meal has to be eaten by the family, saying some common words, listening to the words of the family, it is also a kind of enjoyment, if there are too many etiquette rules at the dinner table, that person will not have much fun in life, but this is just my personal meaning, the saint is not strange." Fang Jing actually just wanted to express her opinion, eating, it is acceptable for adults to talk about a little bit of rules, but for the little babies with children's hearts, let them be, as long as the little babies understand that in the case of guests, pay attention to etiquette, it is okay.
Although Fang Jing can't say anything, this is a family affair after all, but then again, this dish was made by Fang Jing, Fang Jing didn't treat Li Shimin's family as outsiders, so naturally there is no need to talk about politeness and etiquette, isn't it better to be casual? Of course, this is also what Fang Jing thinks of herself, she can't be true, and Fang Jing has never regarded herself as an outsider, but directly regarded herself as the master.
"What Mr. said, there really doesn't have to be this at home, Erlang, feel free." The queen couldn't stand it anymore, and was afraid that Li Shimin and Fang Jing would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly said something to fill the position.
"Okay, listen to sir, everyone eats." After Li Shimin listened to the queen's words, he didn't have any intentions, but he usually became the emperor, so he naturally had to maintain his majesty, maybe it was due to habit.
"Sir, this braised pork does taste like the sky, and it smells bad in the world." Li Shimin sandwiched a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was difficult to describe the taste, he had ever eaten the most delicious dish in his life.
In fact, it is impossible for the food bureau to cook for them to have pork, it is just the dirty things eaten by the people in the palace, and Li Shimin's family will not eat this dirty pork, which is a loss of identity.
"Brother Jing's cooking is delicious, I used to eat Brother Jing's food often, and every time I have to eat it." Xiao Lizhi stretched out her chopsticks and only picked up the braised pork to eat, and she had several pieces at this time, even Gao Ming on the side.
"Yes, I also miss the food cooked by Brother Jing." Li Gao is getting older and older next year, and it seems that he is talking less and less, from the time they met to the present, they have only said hello, and they have not seen him speak, maybe they were born as princes, and they need to maintain some of the prince's appearance and words.
"Erlang, I'm not wrong, Mr.'s cooking, but this world is delicious, simple ingredients can cook a wordless deliciousness, you still don't believe it, but after tasting it, you believe it." The queen teased Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin look at Fang Jing a little embarrassed.
"Holy Lord, eat more if it's delicious, this is originally some ordinary food, but few people eat it." Fang Jing knew that whether it was a royal family, an official, or a wealthy family of the scholar clan, they basically wouldn't eat pork, and in their eyes, pork could only be eaten by lowly people, but the poor people couldn't afford to eat it, and the people who could eat pork were basically ordinary people or city residents.
The delicious meal made Li Shimin's family eat a little too much, although it was not enough to support their stomachs, but it was also the one they ate the most, even a few palace people who were waiting for them kept swallowing saliva, the fragrance was too strong, so that they had been standing not far away, they could only smell the taste, but they couldn't taste it, they kept swallowing saliva, and they couldn't open their mouths, and they were very uncomfortable.
After dinner, the subordinates cleaned up and sat in the hall, and some of them didn't say anything, basically just some vague words.
"Sir, I heard that you said that Fangjia Village is building a school in the afternoon, I wonder if Mr. has invited you?" Sir, do you want to teach it yourself? The queen opened her mouth and asked Fang Jing.
"Back to the queen, after the school in Fangjia Village is built, I originally wanted to invite one or two gentlemen, but I haven't invited gentlemen yet, and it's not too late to invite them at the end of the year, I'm definitely going to teach the little babies." Fang Jing had one thing to say, and he didn't say more.
"Erlang, do you think you want to send two gentlemen? Still is? The queen looked at Li Shimin on the side and said, thinking that she wanted to recommend two gentlemen to Fang Jing.
"Well, Guanyin said well, sir, you don't need to invite this professor, I'll send you two here, what do you think?" Li Shimin also agreed with the queen's words after thinking about it.
"Then thank you, Holy Empress." Fang Jing was not polite, and thanked him directly, Mr. who doesn't spend money, don't do it in vain, besides, when you arrive at Fangjia Village, no matter what god-level character you are, you have to lie on my stomach for me, let you teach anything, you have to teach you.
"Erlang, I want to send Qingque Ke'er and them to the Fang Family Academy, what do you think?" After thinking about it carefully, the queen said to Li Shimin, maybe there are some other thoughts in her heart, and she doesn't know.
"Here, I don't know if Mr. is willing to accept my sons?" Li Shimin had a clear mirror in his heart, and after listening to the queen's words, he immediately understood.
"Holy Lord, Queen, there is nothing wrong with it, there are nearly 100 little babies enrolled in our family school, although they are all small babies in our village, it is okay to add some people, I am afraid that the princes will not get used to it." Fang Jing doesn't care, the prince is here, you have to at least bring some people over, someone must cook.
"Nearly a hundred? Sir, as far as I know, there are not nearly 100 boys in Fangjia Village, right? After listening to Fang Jing's words, the queen felt very strange in her heart.
"Queen, there are not so many boys, and it is said that both male and female children in our family school have to enter the hall to study, so there are nearly 100 people." Fang Jing didn't want to deceive this Li Shimin couple, after all, there was nothing to hide, someone would always know.
"Boys and girls in school?" After listening to this, Li Shimin and his wife fell into deep thought, they actually have the same idea in their hearts, reading books do not distinguish between men and women, but the current mainstream thinking has influenced everyone at the moment, and very few people can understand this.
