Chapter 18: The Patterns of Famous Monarchs Through the Ages (17)
After a while, the palace people rushed in with dishes full of color and flavor.
The palace diet is still very rich, there are roasted swan, pickled chicken, Sichuan fried chicken, steamed pork, pork scrap bones, lychee pork, sturgeon bream, steamed fish, pig ear crispy, boiled fresh gizzard liver, jade silk belly lung, steamed sheep, braised sheep, eight treasure steamed buns, butterfly rolls, Ganoderma lucidum cakes, egg noodles, crystal rice, peony head soup, pork dragon pine soup.
It's just that Lin Du was angry, although he was hungry, he looked at the table of dishes that were a little greasy, and he felt very unhappy. "Lu Fuxin!"
Lu Fuxin, who was giving Lin Dubu vegetables, was frightened: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" ”
"Is the Imperial Study going to fool me with such dishes?" Lin Du looked angry.
"Your Majesty, this-" Lu Fuxin didn't know what to say, didn't Lin Duan eat these in the past, and said that the fragrance made by other people's imperial kitchens.
He said cautiously, "Why don't you let the imperial study prepare a lighter table again?" ”
Eat, yes. This arrogant and lascivious thing, in addition to beauties, there is also food, the so-called wine pond meat forest, Daji is not the key, food is.
Lin Du felt that he was really a ghost.
Make a fuss about eating, this is also a waste of money, the protagonist's aura will definitely fade, and he can still enjoy such a delicious imperial meal, otherwise he will not be able to eat such a sumptuous imperial meal when he returns to his home.
Thinking of this, Lin Dui was in a much better mood: "Forget it, let's do this first." After a while, the imperial chef will come to meet me, and I will discuss the issue of this imperial meal with him. ”
Lu Fuxin bowed his head and replied, "No." ”
While he was serving the emperor vegetables, he looked at the emperor who was eating a lot, and at the same time secretly complained to himself, didn't His Majesty say that it was greasy? I ate a lot of food. It must be that Your Majesty is afraid of waste, Your Majesty is worthy of being a wise man, and he would rather eat uncomfortably than waste.
If Lin Duan, who was eating fragrantly, knew that Lu Fuxin was thinking like this, it was estimated that his intestines would come out.
At the end of lunch, the imperial chef of the imperial study came in: "Attend Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
"Get up." Lin Du looked at him, "I called you here today to discuss the issue of this imperial meal with you. ”
The imperial chef rarely sees the face of the sky, at most the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is far away, and he gets some reward, let alone any 'discussion', he said in fear: "Your Majesty has broken the courtiers." Your Majesty's opinion, the ministers will listen to it. ”
Lin Du spoke: "I think the dishes sent by the imperial dining room every day are a bit simple. ”
The imperial chef was a little apprehensive: "In the future, on the basis of the original, Nachen will add eight dishes for breakfast, ten for lunch, and eight for dinner. Your Majesty, do you think that's good? If so, please ask Your Majesty to instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change the dietary rules. ”
Lin Du shook his head: "What I mean is not that there are fewer dishes, but that the taste and ingredients are a little simple." ”
The imperial chef was a little stunned, this ingredient is still single? The dishes of the Imperial Dining Room are mainly chicken, duck, fish, goose, pork and seasonal vegetables, supplemented by mountain seafood, strange melon and exotic fruits, deer, roe deer, deer tail, deer tongue, deer tendon, bear, wild boar, wild duck, tiger bone, goose, preserved pig, salted fish, sturgeon, sea bass, luanse fish, milk wine, milk sauce, bird's nest, shark fin, sea cucumber, yellow sheep, and all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
He cautiously asked, "What does Your Majesty want to eat?" Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”
"I ......" Lin Du organized the language: "You still don't understand what I mean, what I want to eat is to match it well." Just like today's imperial meal, it's all big meat, it's too greasy. In this sky, you have to match the one who runs on the ground, and you have to match the one who swims in the water. There are also methods that are also dei collocation, stir-frying, frying, pasting, cooking, frying, slipping, stir-frying, boiling, boiling, stewing, stewing, boiling, stirring, stirring, baking. You have to match it. ”
Hearing Lin Duan's words like a cannon, the imperial chef was stunned, but he still responded: "No." Chancellor understood. It's just that it seems that His Majesty has a lot of experience in cooking, I wonder if Your Majesty has any other instructions? ”
"I'm going to work with you on some new dishes, and then I'm going to have a tasting feast. Let all the ministers come and taste it. So, I'll tell you the recipe, you memorize some of it, and go back and try it. Lin Du snickered, didn't he say that the gentleman was far away from cooking? As the emperor, she lacks the indulgence in the dining room, so if she is not doing her job, she will definitely be able to reduce her luck.
"No." The imperial chef asked, "Your Majesty, can you reward the ministers with pen and paper?" Remember. ”
"Yes. Lu Fuxin, get paper and pen for the imperial kitchen. Lin Du commanded.
When everything was ready, she said, "Let's start with a simple, ham stewed elbow, let's call it 'gold and silver hooves' or 'simmering elbow', which sounds better." Stew ham elbows with fresh meat elbows, season with salt, add less wine and sugar, and stew very badly. ”
The imperial chef stood there, not moving, and Lin Du wondered: "Why don't you remember?" ”
The imperial chef pondered for a long time, and said intermittently: "Back to Your Majesty, this, this dish, was originally available in the imperial dining room." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Du took a sip of tea with some embarrassment: "I forgot it for a while, and then I came back, and the bad goose paw duck letter, the steamed duck brewed in wine, ......"
Lin Du looked at the imperial kitchen tentatively.
Sure enough, the imperial chef reminded her: "Your Majesty, these two dishes are also imperial dishes, if you want to eat, tell the Internal Affairs Office, and tomorrow the minister will make them for you." ”
"I still want to eat tofu skin buns and eggplant." Lin Du swallowed.
"Tofu skin bun Chen knows, what is this eggplant?" The Imperial Chef asked.
Lin Du was happy, and finally there was a dish that the imperial chef wouldn't know: "It is to take off the new eggplant buns in April and May, remove the skin and stalks, just clean the meat, cut it into thin hair shreds, dry it, take a fat hen to lean out of the old soup, taste the chicken soup steamed in the steamer on the shredded eggplant, and then take it out to dry." In this way, nine steaming and nine drying must be brittle, and it must be sealed tightly in a magnetic jar. When you want to eat, take out a plate and mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds. ”
The imperial chef nodded: "In this case, then please allow your majesty some time to study it." ”
"Yes. This dish will be included in the menu of my next banquet. Lin Du was still thinking about what else could be done.
This ancient person really knows how to eat, and the ones she thinks of, eighty or ninety percent of them are available in the imperial dining room, so let her make fried chicken? Making a cream cake?
It's a pity that this fried chicken is not only too simple, but also the delicacies of the mountains and seas she eats every day, and she can't think of eating fried chicken.
In fact, the creamy dessert is good, not in ancient times, she still wants to take this bite, but she can't.
Lin Du was an ordinary junior before he came here, and his parents cooked at home, which was really distressing.
The crossing girls in those novels are really amazing, and they will make so many delicious foods casually, not to mention cream, jelly is not a problem.
