The banquet was set up in the side hall, and all civil and military officials participated.

As a guest, Zhao Kang was naturally at the same table with the emperor and the crown prince, and was accompanied by six Shangshu, including Prime Minister Chen Kai and Ye Hongxue.

"The alliance between the two countries is such a great event, and the national teacher will have a few more drinks later!"

Wu Rulong smiled, he is a martial artist and naturally likes to drink.

Zhao Kang smiled helplessly: "Even though the amount of alcohol is not good, but Your Majesty has spoken, it is naturally better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Zhao Kang is a modest statement, the alcohol content in this world is actually not high.

And most of them are fruit wines made from fruits, and the liquor is basically cloudy, and it tastes sweet and sour.

Sake brewing from food crops such as rice has not yet appeared. Countries won't be so tyrannical, it's all food!

Therefore, it is no problem to drink one or two catties with his alcohol volume, and Zhao Kang has not thought about brewing high-grade liquor.

But it was shelved for a number of reasons.

First, people in this era don't necessarily like that kind of high-grade liquor, unless it's a drunken liquor Mengzi.

Remember the URL

Moreover, the pungency of liquor may not be acceptable to people who are used to drinking fruit wine, so this kind of thing still has to be put later.

One dish after another was presented by the palace maid and eunuch, and the appearance was simply unsightly.

Jingguo is also the same as Qianguo at the beginning, most of the cooks can only steam and fry, and they have never heard of stir-frying, for Zhao Kang, who has rich food knowledge, this thing is similar to pig food.

But the ministers around one or two ate with relish.

So don't be envious of what you can't cross, you may not be able to bear it just by eating.

Zhao Kang was able to adapt because he was too hungry, but after the conditions improved, he began to teach the cooks in Yuanjiang County to stir-fry.

So much so that now, Her Majesty the Empress and Xiao Xuance, the unlucky children, have also tasted tricky.

A large pot with a few stir-fried vegetables was added to the imperial dining room.

"Why don't you eat it? Is the food not to taste? ”

Wu Guanhai, who had been paying attention to him, asked.

For this young man who looks about the same age as himself, Zhao Kang has a good impression.

If nothing else, the sentence that can make amends for Xu Qing is enough to prove that this guy is not a wicked person.

Even if this sentence is suspected of being a show to win over the protector, it does not prevent Zhao Kang from appreciating it.

After all, he is the prince of a country, and it takes courage to be able to say such things.

Yes, I just said so many benefits, and I have to open the eyes of this group of people, so that they don't think they are bragging.

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "It's not a matter of whether the food fits or not, but I basically don't eat this thing in Qianguo." Is this something that people can eat? ”

Several officials who were eating with vegetables were stunned and glanced at each other.

This Zhao Kang won't be scolding us, right?

Ye Hongxue held her forehead, can't this dead pervert say something nice? As soon as you open your mouth, you will offend people!

I didn't see His Majesty the Emperor still eating it.

Hearing his words, Wu Guanhai became interested and wondered: "Master Guoshi, hasn't the diet of various countries always been like this?" Could it be that Qianguo is different? ”

Zhao Kang smiled: "This is natural, in my opinion, eating is the most comfortable thing in the world, if you don't even eat well, the person is not interesting to live." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the fine salt he had been carrying from his cuffs, a must-have for him. There is no way, the meals in those restaurants are reluctant to put oil and salt, and he can only add them himself if he wants to have a taste.

Seeing that he took out a bottle, many officials approached with interest.

Wu Rulong was interested: "Master Guoshi, what is this?" Could it be that what a delicacy can't be? ”

Zhao Kang said: "Delicious food is not counted, it is just salt." ”

"What's so strange about salt?" One officer rolled his eyes.

This thing has a few big lumps in my own house, and I thought it was some kind of treasure.

Zhao Kang smiled: "My salt is not the same as your salt. ”

Saying that, he poured out the fine salt, looking at the white grains of salt, even Ye Hongxue was stunned for a moment, and it was the first time she had seen fine salt.

"Is this salt? You're not kidding, are you? Chen Kai was shocked.

"You'll know if I'm joking." Zhao Kang didn't explain either.

Wu Guanhai was the first to grow a little surprised: "It's really salt!" ”

"No, how can there be such salt, this is different from ordinary salt!"

Zhao Kang said: "That's nature, this is fine salt extracted from the coarse salt we eat every day." ”

"There are too many impurities in coarse salt, and eating too much is not good for your health, so I refined this fine salt. Such a handful can make the taste of the meal stronger. ”

"Now this kind of fine salt is being implemented in the territory of Qianguo, and the cooking method is no longer limited to steaming and frying."

Zhao Kang smiled and looked at the surprised Wu Rulong father and son: "Dare to ask Your Majesty where is the imperial dining room?" ”

Ye Hongxue was puzzled: "You want to cook?" ”

"You have to let Your Majesty taste what is what people eat, isn't it?" Zhao Kang laughed.

Wu Rulong didn't get angry when he heard this: "Okay, then it seems that I have a good mouth today." ”

Zhao Kang didn't do anything fancy, just fried a plate of stir-fried pork and a portion of braised pork.

The sugar in this imperial dining room is also not easy to use, so the taste is naturally a little worse than the normal braised pork.

But when the eunuch brought up the two plates of meat from Zhao Kang, the tempting aroma emanated, which immediately aroused the taste buds of Wu Rulong's father and son.

"This, what does this smell like, why is it so fragrant!"

"This flesh is red and looks delicious!"

"No, it tastes so tempting!"

Zhao Kang handed over the chopsticks: "Your Majesty taste?" ”

Wu Rulong did not hesitate, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and at first he just chewed it slowly, and then chewed faster and faster.

I immediately picked up the second piece without saying how I felt it, and ate it in a big gulp.

There is no need to explain anything, some officials swallowed their saliva and watched His Majesty the Emperor eat meat with a tickle in their hearts.

Even Wu Guanhai was a little moved, but his father didn't say anything, and he could only watch.

In the blink of an eye, a plate of braised pork with twenty or thirty pieces was directly finished by Wu Rulong alone.

Not only did he not feel tired, but he was even a little unsatisfied.

"This is simply the best taste of the world!"

After eating the braised pork, Wu Rulong set his sights on the small fried pork and picked up a chopstick and sent it to his mouth, only to feel that the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and he couldn't help blurting it out.

"Damn, Zhao Kang is right, this is what people eat! Call me all the people in the Imperial Dining Room! ”

The civil and military officials swallowed their saliva and were dumbfounded, Wu Rulong continued to feast, and Wu Guanhai called weakly: "Father." ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Rulong frowned.

Wu Guanhai couldn't cry or laugh: "How about you leave a bite for your son!" ”

A plate of stir-fried meat is almost gone.

"Uh...... Prince, you eat these first, and then the emperor will taste this dish, but he has not tasted it before he eats it too fast. ”
