The imperial dining room was larger and more magnificent than Tang Zhou imagined. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The kitchen counter is clean, everything is well organized, and the ingredients in the kitchen are arranged in an orderly manner according to different classifications.

In addition, many things are more delicate than the things in the five-star hotel where Tang Zhou was in his previous life.

Thinking that this was a place to cook for the emperor's concubine, Tang Zhou also felt relieved, what kind of place is this, I am afraid that no matter how luxurious the kitchen is in the future, it will be difficult to compare with it.

Of course, due to the restrictions of the times, the ingredients here are not as abundant as expected.

First of all, there are vegetables, although spring has begun, but there are not many vegetables in the imperial dining room, I think for many vegetable farmers, their vegetables have just sprouted.

However, there are also things that surprise Tang Zhou here, such as many ingredients that are only recorded in history books, but he Tang Zhou wanted to see things in his previous life but couldn't see them, such as deer antler bear's paw monkey brain and the like.

After looking at the entire imperial dining room in this way, Tang Zhou already had arrangements for what kind of dishes to cook, and just when Tang Zhou was thinking like this, a fat cook suddenly kicked on an apprentice who was preparing ingredients.

"What did I tell you? Pork can't be eaten by the saint, what are you going to do? Go and wash the freshly picked vegetables......"

The apprentice who was kicked didn't dare to be angry, and after he got down, he hurriedly went to wash the vegetables, and Tang Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, during the Tang and Song dynasties, pork was cheap, and it might be meat for ordinary people, but for Li Shimin, who was high, it was uneatable, the emperor, how could he eat cheap meat?

In comparison, vegetables that can only be eaten in spring and summer are more expensive.

After smiling bitterly, Tang Zhou couldn't help but shake his head, in his opinion, any ingredient can be made into a delicacy, what about pork, isn't the food made of pork not delicious?

Tang Zhou was smiling bitterly, and the fat imperial chef looked at Tang Zhou as if he saw a monster, and asked sharply: "Who are you, don't you know that not everyone can enter the imperial dining room?" ”

As soon as the fat man spoke, an imperial chef next to Tang Zhou hurriedly said: "Manager Yu, this is Tang Zhou, Tang Xiaohou, Princess Danyang brought it." ”

As soon as he heard that it was the Hou Ye, the Chief Manager Yu immediately admitted it, and smiled again and again: "It turned out to be the little Hou Ye, but I don't know what the little Hou Ye is doing in the imperial dining room?" ”

"Cook a few dishes for the saint and the princess."

Hearing this, Chief Manager Yu's expression became even stranger.

"Little Marquis...... Are you kidding? ”

"Do you think this marquis looks like a joker? Go wash the pork for me, strip the hair, keep the skin, and bring some fat. ”

At this time, Tang Zhou was not polite at all, so he gave the order, although the fat man was the head of the imperial study, he didn't dare to offend Tang Zhou, and responded again and again, but when he was plucking the pork, he couldn't help asking: "Little Marquis, who is your pork for?" ”

"Of course it's the Holy Lords and the ministers."

As soon as he heard this, Manager Yu immediately became anxious.

"This ...... How can this work, little marquis, this pork can't be eaten, it's okay for the minister to eat......"

"Don't talk nonsense, the meal is ready, whether you eat it or not is a holy thing, why do you have so many things? Pluck quickly. ”

In this kitchen, whether it was in his past life or now, Tang Zhou enjoyed the pleasure of ordering people to do this and that, of course, this is not a pathology, this is just a habit that cannot be said why, as if doing so will give him a sense of accomplishment.

Although Chief Manager Yu was angry, he didn't dare to refute like the apprentice he reprimanded just now, so he had to quickly pluck the hair on the pork.

-------------------------------------------

It was almost noon, and the ministers of the court had already arrived.

Next to the water pavilion in the imperial garden, there are several rows of low tables, and the tables are placed among the flowers, and it is quite poetic to sit in them, Li Shimin and a few concubines are in front, and Princess Danyang is sitting next to Li Shimin.

When the people attending the banquet were almost here, Li Shimin waved his hand, and the palace maids brought the meals one after another.

At the beginning, they were all popular dishes that the imperial chef in the palace had often made before, and it was not unusual for these ministers who were often entertained by Li Shimin.

However, the next two dishes surprised everyone, one of them was made of pork at a glance, the color was yellow, a little curly meat, from the appearance, it was probably fried in the oil pan, but this was different from the fried pork they usually eat.

Another dish, which can only be said to be dim sum, this dim sum is yellow, white, and red in three distinct colors, it is very good-looking, it looks soft and sticky, and it should be made of glutinous rice noodles.

Seeing such two dishes, whether it was Li Shimin or other ministers, they were all curious.

So the two dishes were served, after Li Shimin moved the chopsticks, the others also hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in their mouths to eat, although it was pork, but the taste was excellent, although it tasted fat but not greasy, it was a bit similar to Dongpo meat, but it was more than Dongpo meat so indescribable taste, what was more, they couldn't say.

After eating the meat, everyone picked up the chopsticks to eat the dim sum, and when they took a bite, they only felt that the bean filling was sweet, the entrance was soft, and there was a little sticky teeth, which was indescribably delicious.

Whether it was Li Shimin or those princes and ministers, once they ate it, they suddenly couldn't hold it back, and they didn't taste other dishes for a while, and ate these two dishes to a good time.

When the meal is finished, everyone is still unsatisfied, especially those generals, the meat eaten at each meal is calculated by the catty, and now there is such a small plate of meat plus a plate of snacks, how to eat enough?

"I really didn't expect that there was such a delicious cook in the imperial dining room of the saint, the saint, I didn't eat enough, what do you say." Cheng Biting Jin was very grinning and not polite at all.

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, to be honest, he didn't eat enough.

"If it had been before, I could have ordered someone to make another one for you, but unfortunately the person who made these two dishes today is none other than me, and I am embarrassed to let him make it again."

As soon as Li Shimin spoke, everyone was shocked, and then immediately understood who the person who made these two delicacies was, and Cheng Biting Jin was very excited after hearing it, and couldn't help laughing: "It must be that kid from the Tang family, I didn't expect the emperor to find him, no, no, since it's the kid from the Tang family, I caught him today, I have to let him make a few more plates......"

As he was talking, Cheng Biting Jin looked around, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Shengshang, what about that kid from the Tang family, why don't you see a figure?" ”
