Chapter 41: Cooperation
"I believe it too!" Imperial Chef Li then nodded: "An existence like Lord Lin who can be called a culinary master, it is impossible to joke about his own name. ”
Feng Yuchu looked left and right, and finally could only smile bitterly: "Lord Lin, please continue." ”
"That's right. Lin Zifan chuckled: "The seasonings in the palace, and even the seasonings in our entire Tang Dynasty, are too simple, I have seen many seasonings with extremely beautiful taste and distinctive characteristics in an ancient cooking book, but we don't have them." ”
"So, I want to work with you to develop various spices, find out those spices, or mix them!"
"Cumin?" Huo Sisi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Zifan had mentioned barbecue without a soul: "Is it called cumin?" You said that barbecue without cumin has no soul?"
"Indeed, cumin is also one of the spices, and it is a perfect match for barbecue!"
"Perfect match with barbecue?" Chef Li was interested, she was mainly focused on meat, and couldn't help asking, "Is it better than barbecue powder?"
"There is no comparison, it can be described as a world of difference. Lin Zifan shook his head and smiled. The so-called barbecue powder is actually a mixed powdered seasoning that mixes salt and other seasonings together.
In the earth barbecue, also put a variety of spices, but cumin ...... But it's essential!
"I'm interested in that. Although Imperial Chef Li was skeptical, he couldn't help but be quite excited when he thought of Lin Zifan's cooking skills.
"I'm going to participate, but what should we do?" said Huo Sisi, cheerfully like a bird.
"If you don't dislike it, Lord Lin, please count me in. Feng Yuchu bowed his head.
Although she is quite arrogant, but the facts are in front of her, and she can't help but be unconvinced! What's more, she was originally the best imperial chef, but if there is really the kind of seasoning that Lin Zifan said, I am afraid that her reputation as the first imperial chef will soon be lost.
Rather than die to save face, it's better to join in......
"Welcome. Lin Zifan smiled slightly.
Although he was a little unhappy before, Feng Yuchu's face was swollen, if he continued to think about it, he would be too careful, not a man.
"So what are we going to do?" Huo Sisi was very excited.
"It's simple, but it doesn't have to go well. Lin Zifan said what he had already prepared.
"First of all, I need to confirm that the ingredients and seasonings in the imperial dining room should be supplied from all over the country, right?"
"The seasoning is true, but the ingredients are not. Feng Yuchu shook his head and said: "These ingredients can be grown all over the country, and there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to transport them from other places, and there will be ready-made ones in Chang'an." ”
"Enough!" Lin Zifan said with a smile: "Since the seasoning is shipped from other places, there must be a few people in the field who can speak, right?"
"That's nature!" Huo Sisi nodded again and again: "The three of us have our own unique seasonings, and how much we master the seasoning is also the background of a chef!"
"Although our materials can be used universally on weekdays, in fact, only we know how to make unique materials!"
"I see!" Lin Zifan suddenly said.
Only then did I understand that the reason why Datang seasoning is so scarce is likely to be like the gradually lost martial arts in China, everyone hides and does not want to tell others, and over time, there will be fewer and fewer ......
"My idea is that the mountain chefs will collect something for us through their own channels, and in the end, we will judge whether it is suitable for the seasoning. ”
"So?" "In fact, we have been doing this kind of thing all the time, but the progress is very slow, and sometimes we may not be able to find a new seasoning in a few years." ”
"It's not the same. Lin Zifan smiled.
Can it be the same? At least Lin Zifan has smelled Feng Yuchu's seasonings, and the taste is very strange, most of them are all kinds of fragrant seasonings, but they are not as good as the taste of spices such as thirteen spices and star anise, but they are a little strange.
As for the other ups and downs...... There are sweetness, but there are no similarities in the others.
In addition to Shaanxi cuisine, Lin Zifan is also proficient in Sichuan cuisine, as we all know, the main dish is spicy, but the dish is also broad and profound, and the seasoning and taste involved make people salivate when they think about it......
"The direction of the spice I study is different from yours, if you believe me, let's work together. ”
"And as a token of gratitude, I can teach you how to make Phnom Penh cabbage!"
"Is it really possible?" Huo Sisi's eyes widened: "That's it, the cooking method that keeps the fire in the pot?"
"That's right, it's the cooking method that keeps the fire in the pot, and the flowers play four doors!" Lin Zifan smiled slightly: "To learn this craft, not only can you make Phnom Penh cabbage, but also many dishes, you must use flowers to play four doors in order to be perfect!"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded one after another without any hesitation!
They have all seen the cooking method of Huada Simen, and the taste of Phnom Penh cabbage alone is enough to shock them, not to mention the fact that they have been doing it all the time, so why not?
"I have one request, though. Lin Zifan suddenly spoke, making the three girls secretly vigilant.
Because the conditions given by Lin Zifan are too superior, it is said that it is cooperative development, but in fact, it is Lin Zifan who gives advice and leads, and he has to pass on to them the stunt of playing four doors?
At least they ask themselves, if they have this kind of skill, they will never pass it on to others easily!
"Tell me about it first...... "Imperial Chef Li asked.
"That's right. Lin Zifan said: "The practice of flowers and cabbage and other dishes is considered the reward I asked you to help, and at the same time, I will provide the materials researched for everyone to use for free, as long as you don't use them for commercial purposes, you can use them however!"
"Commercial use?"
"You don't have to sell it or make money. Lin Zifan explained.
"That's reasonable, after all, according to you, the seasoning has little to do with us, we just have some manpower. The three of them agreed without much thought.
Why not use a few more spices for free? Anyway, their respective downlines also collect all kinds of spice-making things in other places all year round.
"Well, it's a pleasure to work with. The corners of Lin Zifan's mouth hooked up a satisfied arc: "But, the ugly words are ahead, although we only have a verbal agreement, but I like it, everyone must really abide by it, otherwise, ...... Although my official is not big, he can still say a few words in front of His Majesty, the three of you should understand, right?"
"Hmph!" Feng Yuchu snorted coldly: "We women never regret talking about it! Lord Lin is too worried!"
"That's good!"
Lin Zifan smiled slightly, and said secretly: "It's not that I'm too worried, but you don't know at all, what a huge market is hidden under this seemingly inconspicuous seasoning......"
