Chapter Twenty-Three: The Patterns of the Ancient Emperor (22)

Time passed quickly, and it was already time for the barbecue banquet that Lin Dui was thinking about.

She personally watched the barbecue stove be moved.

Three ministers have a stove, and she herself has a stove.

It was also the first time for the ministers to see such a banquet, and they thought it was amazing.

After everyone arrived, Lin Dui appeared.

Even if everyone has a lot of dissatisfaction, they still have to kneel down when they see the emperor: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Let's be flat." Lin Du sat down.

She looked at the palace people on the side: "Come on, serve sweet milk tea." ”

After everyone had a cup of milk tea, Lin Du continued: "I must have heard of all Aiqing, I have been obsessed with the dining room recently. I have researched a few fresh foods, and today I called Zhong Aiqing to taste them together. You can try it first, this is sweet milk tea, some with brown sugar added to it, and some with taro puree. ”

"Well, it's delicious." A minister nodded and began to pat himself on the back: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and the Son of Heaven, and you can develop such a delicacy with a casual research." ”

A courtier hurriedly echoed: "That is, the ministers rarely drink milk tea on weekdays, and occasionally they drink salty milk tea. ”

Lin Du laughed secretly when she heard this, these ministers, there are also those who speak out and scold her, and there are also those who pat on the back anytime and anywhere.

Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Lin Duan ordered the palace people again: "Go to the eggplant." ”

She looked at everyone's faces with concern, this dish had been studied by her and the imperial chef for a long time and improved several times.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" A minister couldn't help but ask.

"It's eggplant." Lin Du was very proud, this dish was very successful.

"Eggplant?" The minister took another sip: "The taste of eggplant is not real. Your Majesty is really amazing, this ordinary eggplant has been turned around in His Majesty's imperial dining room, and it has also been transformed into such a delicacy. ”

Lin Du smiled and said the method: "Actually, it's not difficult. You put the eggplant that has just come down and put the skin on the skewer, as long as the meat is cleaned, cut into shredded nails, fried with chicken oil, and then use chicken breast meat and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried curd, all kinds of dried fruits, all cut into dices, simmer dry with chicken broth, collect the sesame oil, add bad oil and mix it, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat, and mix it with fried chicken and melon. ”

Lin Du still remembers the shock of this paragraph when he first watched "Dream of Red Mansions", what kind of delicate food this is.

When the minister heard this, he was dumbfounded, relieved himself, and then praised Lin Dui: "Your Majesty is really smart, you can come up with such a method." ”

"Humph! But a plate of eggplant, but a dozen chickens with it, Your Majesty will really enjoy it. Zuo Du Yushi said very shamelessly.

Lin Du was still not angry, and nodded: "The teacher reacted so quickly, a plate of this eggplant does need a dozen chickens to make." ”

Zuo Du Yushi still wanted to say something, but the person next to him tugged on his sleeve, he thought about it, but still didn't speak.

Lin Du took in all of this, but she didn't care, she just clapped her hands to herself, "Go to the barbecue." ”

Because the two foods prepared by Lin Duan in front of him are novel and delicious, everyone can't help but look forward to the following.

But when everyone saw a bunch of raw food worn on top of the signature being served, they didn't look good on their faces.

A courtier asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, is this barbecue still not cooked?" ”

Lin Du waved his hand: "Hey, it's not delicious when it's baked, do it yourself, and have plenty of food and clothing." Doesn't Aiqing understand this truth? ”

"Do it yourself?" One of the courtiers asked incredulously, "Do we want to make this barbecue ourselves?" ”

"Yes. I prepared the stove just so that Zhong Aiqing could do it himself, could it be that he would warm Zhong Aiqing on this hot day? Lin Du looked at everyone's faces with different expressions amusedly: "Please choose the dishes you want to eat by yourself, and then bake them on the stove in front of you." ”

"Your Majesty, the ancients said: The gentleman is far away from cooking." A doctor stood up against it.

"I've already been in the kitchen, what, you mean I'm not a gentleman? I'm a villain? Lin Du said this with a smile.

The doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of committing such a crime. ”

Lin Du looked at the person trembling and thought of teasing, "In this case, I am graceful, you will take the lead in choosing the ingredients you want to eat and roast them yourself." ”

"Your Majesty......" The man looked up, unable to believe his ears.

"Go for it." Lin Du smiled kindly, but everyone didn't know if she would turn her face in the next second.

The doctor had to stand up and walk towards the raw food in great humiliation.

Zuodu Yushi finally couldn't look at it, and stood up suddenly: "Your Majesty, you can kill a soldier, but you can't be humiliated." What you're doing today is chilling! The so-called punishment is not a doctor, what is the difference between your public execution now? ”

"It's an insult to us to bake our own food?" Lin Du thought it was funny, she just wanted to kill the ancient nobles, who regarded themselves as high-minded: "Then I will give you an example." ”

She chose two skewers of chicken wings, five skewers of venison, and five skewers of potato chips.

Then he began to roast on the stove, and said while roasting: "Everyone should pay attention to the heat, this barbecue, the heat is too small to bake, the meat is bloody, and the potato chips are crispy." After the heat is over, the meat will become old and the potato chips will be charred. But I like the ones that are a little bigger, fragrant! ”

The ministers looked at Lin Dui's indifferent appearance, and some of them were a little shaken.

The mighty general was the first person among the courtiers to eat crabs, and he took a large handful of mutton: "This minister supports Your Majesty." ”

Lin Du looked at this general, she never expected that he was the first to eat, the last time in the court, he scolded himself for the most ugly and fierce scolding.

"I'm used to marching and fighting, I don't have so many problems, how fragrant it is to eat barbecue by myself!" He laughed.

Lin Du also laughed, this is a military general who has no city government.

"Let's eat it too." Lin Du urged.

She saw that some ministers also gave up their so-called reserve and went to barbecue food to eat, but there were still some people who refused to eat.

Lin Du was not in a hurry, she didn't care whether these people ate or not, smelling the smell of barbecue in the hall, she didn't believe that these people could survive to the end.

While eating, she suddenly remembered something: "Everyone, Aiqing, in fact, I have been obsessed with the imperial dining room these days, and I have realized a lot of truths. People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. I feel that I want to call on the people of the whole country to love to eat, and only when they are well fed and the people are in good health, whether it is marching and fighting or building the country, it will become better. ”
