Chapter 545: A Bowl of Oily Noodles Who Will Be the First?
In the imperial dining room of the imperial palace, this time is not a meal, after all, the Tang people only eat two meals a day, and the ministers enter the court to eat according to the time, which is a long-standing rule, even the emperor is no exception, so the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room are still resting or preparing dishes.
A gust of wind blew, and there was already a figure in the imperial dining room, it was Bai Fan who was carrying a bag of chili peppers.
"Huh? Hou Ye? What wind is blowing you in? ”
Shi Dabao, the head chef of the imperial dining room, exclaimed, obviously he knew Bai Fan, not only he knew, but the chefs in the imperial dining room all knew him, because when Wangjinglou became famous, the imperial chefs of the palace deliberately went to learn cooking skills with Bai Fan, and it was not wrong to say that it was their master.
"What else could it be? Unhealthy winds!
Don't talk nonsense, Dabao, quickly gather all the cooks who can turn the spoon over, listen to the command, I want to cook a big meal for Your Majesty and the ministers. ”
"Really? Okay, okay, I'm going to call someone. ”
Shi Dabao is overjoyed, Bai Fan is the ancestor of Datang's new cooking skills, he can show his hand in person, it is definitely a rare opportunity in the world, who doesn't want to learn more?
In less than a stick of incense, the 120 royal cooks in the imperial dining room were all gathered, and even the people in charge of purchasing and miscellaneous work followed.
"You don't need to prepare too complicated ingredients, just divide a few people to steam steamed buns, and it is estimated that everyone will take steamed buns as the staple food after a while.
For the rest, go out of the pot to boil oil, to get good rapeseed oil (ancient Chinese rape is called brassica, here from the simple, directly use the current term), and then the rest of the people, began to go to the noodles, ready to make a big bowl of noodles, the requirements are two fingers wide, the leek leaves are so thick, boil the water and wait below. ”
"Huh? Master Hou, are you sure this is a big meal for His Majesty and hundreds of officials? This bowl of noodles is better than what we cooks eat every day. Shi Dabao asked embarrassedly.
Bai Fan reprimanded: "Boy, learn to be a little, when can you make a bowl of bland noodles endless, you will be a teacher, as a chef, the most taboo thing is to pick fat and thin materials, go quickly, and there will be benefits for a while." ”
Everyone didn't say much, they divided their labor, and soon began to act, which is why Datang is now rich, and the life of the palace has been greatly improved, otherwise in this period of history, Datang is very tight, and even the emperor's family eats with their own vegetables, and they don't dare to make such a big extravagant style.
And what is Bai Fan doing? Simple, dealing with chili peppers, to be honest, these chili peppers he is really reluctant to waste, carefully remove the chili seeds one by one, and make almost a pound of chili pepper shells before calling it a day, fortunately there are a lot of bags, this big bag has almost a dozen catties of dried chili peppers, and look at the shape, it seems that there is more than one variety.
The materials are limited, Bai Fan can't give more than 100 people a whole plate of spicy chicken, it's not that the chicken is not enough, it's that the chili pepper is not enough, so he can only make a bowl of oily spicy noodles, which is also a very popular delicacy in the Guanzhong area in the future.
Without grinding equipment, put the chili pepper in the middle of his hands for a handful, Bai Fan used his kung fu to deal with it better than grinding, it was definitely authentic chili noodles, find an iron pot, put in a large number of chili noodles, and then put in several common spice minced, add salt, and finally pour it directly with hot rapeseed oil, and a perfect pot of oil and spicy noodles will become.
"Boys, boil the water on a big fire, now it's time to start below, and after cooking, put it in a big bowl and fill it with seven points."
After a stick of incense, Shi Dabao shouted: "Okay! ”
Bai Fan smiled, "Prepare to pass the meal!" ”
Everyone was puzzled, why did the noodles pass on just after cooking? Passing white dough sheets? Will he be beaten to death by His Majesty?
I saw Bai Fan let the two of them carry the oil and spicy seeds, and he held a big spoon, and quickly poured the fragrant oil and spicy seeds on each bowl of noodles, and suddenly a bowl of golden oil noodles became a bowl of golden oil noodles, just this spoonful of oil can make a bowl of ordinary noodles turn decay into magic, and everyone in the imperial dining room was stunned, because, they seemed to smell something?
No, it's not about the oil, it's the red stuff inside, this kind of fragrance, let alone eating, just smell it and open your appetite.
"Okay, don't be in a daze, one person serves a bowl on a tray, it's time to pass the meal, steam the steamed buns, carry two hundred steamed buns and go together."
There is a special banquet hall in the palace, which is not too far from the imperial dining room, and after Li Er and the others cleaned up, they came here to wait together, including those who were victimized, all waiting here, each with a bowl of milk as tea.
It's also interesting to say, it's just that after this incident, these people actually drink milk every time they eat spicy, and gradually spread this habit to the people, chili pepper with milk seems to have become a match, the people think, after all, the emperor and the hundred officials eat like this, it must be reasonable, where do they know, it is because they have been pitted like this.
"Boy, you're busy for a long time, just give us a bowl of noodles and two steamed buns?" Li Er thinks that Bai Fan is perfunctory.
"This is the first noodles in the world that uses the fairy food baby, the name is oily spicy noodles, not to mention eating, you just smell it and know that it is a good thing."
Everyone leaned over and smelled it, not only did they not feel delicious, but they were aroused again with hot memories on their red and swollen eyes, and for a while you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one moved.
"What? No one moved? Don't you dare to eat it? Bai Fan frowned and asked.
Hou Junji pushed Wei Chi Gong and said, "Lao Hei, you eat a lot, you eat first." ”
"Monkey, didn't you say that you eat less and get hungry early, you eat first......"
"It's okay, it looks very hot, I'll put it there and eat it when it's cold."
……
Everyone listened to the conversation between the two, and they couldn't help but close their mouths tightly and laugh and tremble, Bai Fan said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, you should dare to be the first in the world." ”
This one......
Li Er scolded secretly in his heart, it is right to dare to be the world, but I can't trust you kid anymore, I have just been tricked by you, who knows if you still have a backhand?
But all the officials looked at themselves, and it seemed that the excuse was not very good, and in a flash of inspiration, Li Er stood up with a noodle bowl and said sadly: "How can I come to eat this first bowl of immortal food?" This is the life of many soldiers in exchange, this kind of food, the first bowl should be sacrificed to the soldiers' heroic spirits, come, send my bowl to the requiem hall where the ashes of the soldiers are stored, and make a good offering. ”
The Requiem Hall was Bai Fan's idea, and the ashes of the soldiers were temporarily placed in the palace for worship, and when the martyrs' cemetery was completed, they were sent for burial.
Everyone was stunned by Li Er's behavior, is this still the Your Majesty who is not afraid of heaven and earth? How can it be so, so unbearable? A bowl of noodles is cowardly?
In fact, Li Er was half afraid of chili peppers, and half of them were sincerely unable to eat what the soldiers exchanged for their lives.
Qin Qiong shouted, "Isn't it just a bowl of noodles?" Pure chili peppers have just been eaten, not to mention that now with slices, a certain family will come first. ”
Everyone praised in unison, Shubao deserves to be the first brave general of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty! But if you eat noodles, you can eat noodles, why do you look like you are at home?
Uncle Qin had the courage to take the first bite, huh!
It's the same expression, the same voice, and the same action in the side hall an hour ago, and everyone already knows in their hearts, where is this food? This is obviously a fraud!
Just when the hundred officials just wanted to scold again, Qin Qiong moved, no longer closing his mouth and eyes, but picked up the big bowl, the chopsticks moved quickly, and the bowl of noodles was pulled into his mouth with a big stinging mouth.
In a few breaths, a sea bowl of oily spicy noodles was swept away by Qin Qiong in everyone's surprised eyes.
Bang, slap the big bowl on the table, and shout: "Enjoyable!" One more bowl! ”
At this moment, the ministers finally reacted: "It's not a pit, it's fast, fast, fast, ......"
And what Li Er was thinking in his mind was: "My ......, what about my face?" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Li Er appeared in the imperial dining room of the palace, what did he see? A group of cooks are lining up to eat noodles in front of a large pot, yes, they are eating in front of a pot, and they are not even useful for bowls.
"Wait, what is this? What about Bai Fan? Li Er stared at the cauldron and asked.
"After returning to Your Majesty, after the Hou Ye sent a bowl to the queen's mother, he returned home with the remaining oil and spicy seeds, saying that he wanted to make some for his wife and children.
Our brother saw that there were still some leftovers at the bottom of the pot in the pot, so he got a pot of noodles and went into it and followed it, Your Majesty, this oily noodles are really the best in the world, and the little one has never eaten such a delicious thing.
Do you want to ......
No, how can Your Majesty share a pot with us rough people? A small gaffe, damn it! ”
Li Er was speechless, shouldn't this cook be replaced, why is there so much talk today? Hey, Bai Fan ran away with something, and he couldn't chase him to his house and make his niece laugh.
I thought to myself, should I go to the Requiem Hall to see the old brothers?
Shaking his head, Li Er laughed at the group of imperial chefs and said, "What did you say?" Am I so unkind? I think that I was the head of the army back then, why can't we eat the same pot of monarchs and ministers today?
Quick, serve me a big bowl! ”
"But, Your Majesty, we've already eaten half of this pot, and it's all leftover......s."
"What's so important? When you eat, I will eat, and today we don't distinguish between each other, hurry up and hurry up......"
"So, okay, give you chopsticks, don't use a bowl, this thing will be eaten in a pot!"
The second of the three consecutive launches in the morning, please support.
