The most feared thing about the palace banquet is that the dishes are cold, but fortunately, it is autumn now, and the weather is warm, and Zhao Hanzhang said when the inner court began to prepare the menu, she hopes that her subjects can eat well at the palace banquet.

To put it bluntly, the palace banquet is a company party, and it is rare for the boss to be generous once, so it is natural to prepare dishes to entertain.

Dance and music are important, but the dishes are even more important, especially in this era when most people don't have enough to eat and can't eat well.

Not every official has the money to go to the gluttonous house to eat.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang gave the order, the imperial dining room racked his brains, and went to the gluttonous building to learn from the experience, and finally ordered three menus to be presented.

Wang Huifeng and Tinghe picked it out first, and then handed it over to Zhao Hanzhang for review after revision.

Zhao Hanzhang pulled Fu Tinghan to discuss for a long time in the middle of the night, thinking about what they all liked to eat.

"I like to eat, generals like it, you like to eat, and the scribes with light tastes must also like it, so as long as a menu satisfies you and me, it will basically satisfy them."

So this menu is also a thousand selections.

In order to make the dishes serve quickly, but not to be cold in advance, Fu Tinghan also specially asked people to build an additional room in the imperial dining room, which was repaired with a platform and a fire dragon underneath.

The heat generated by cooking will heat the water on the tail stove, and the boiler of the tail stove is special, with two baffles on the left and right.

When the water boils, pull up the left baffle and the boiling water will enter the pipe.

The pipe leads to the back room, where the prepared dishes can be placed, the table is warm, and the dishes placed on it will not be cold for five or six hours.

The best thing is that the water can flow back to the outside after flowing through the room, Fu Tinghan asked people to make galvanized iron pipes, and together with the poured cement pipes, the water will be drawn out, and the hot water will come out when the faucet is turned on.

People in the imperial dining room can use hot water to wash vegetables and meat.

If it weren't for the fact that it would take too much money to renovate the palace, Fu Tinghan would also want to bring hot water to the palace to make fire dragons and showers.

The winter in Luoyang is still too cold, and it will be much more comfortable if there is a fire dragon.

Steamed lamb, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast goose, as well as button meat, stewed bamboo shoots, red and white meatballs, longevity fish, peony swallow vegetables, etc.

The palace maids rushed in with the dishes, one team went down, one team came up again, the movements were elegant and orderly, the dishes were served quickly and crisply, each dish was steaming, and it made people have a great appetite when they looked at it.

At the enthronement ceremony, everyone began to control their diet in the morning, for fear that something indecent would happen on the way.

Although you can go out of the palace to change your clothes after the ceremony, because you are entering the palace, you are afraid that something urgent will happen, so all the officials still only hide a few pieces of bread in their sleeves in case they are hungry to nibble on them.

It can be said that at the end of this day, everyone ate cold things, and suddenly saw such a steaming thing, everyone couldn't help but move their index fingers and their stomachs were hungry.

Zhao Hanzhang was also hungry.

Every dish on this table is what she likes, if it weren't for the limited table, the limited budget, and the limited products at this stage, she would like to have a dish on the name of the report.

Everyone was hungry, but they didn't dare to move, but looked at Zhao Hanzhang above together, hoping that she would speak quickly, and everyone had a good meal after speaking.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but be happy, picked up the chopsticks and put the rice into his mouth and said, "I know that everyone is hungry, don't talk nonsense, let's eat." ”

The hundred officials laughed out loud, laughed in response, and held the chopsticks one after another.

Zhao Hu had never seen the two new dishes, golden brown, which seemed to be the same, but they were divided into different plates.

He observed for a moment, then grabbed a piece of meat from the left plate and looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang originally wanted to eat meatballs, but he touched his gaze suddenly, thought about it, turned his chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of roast duck, dotted it on the dipping sauce next to it, and then put it in his mouth.

When Zhao Hu saw it, he immediately learned that she would dip the sauce first and then enter it.

The golden skin is crispy in the mouth, but the meat inside is tender and juicy, mixed with the sauce, salty and slightly sweet, and it is very delicious.

Zhao Hu's eyes lit up.

went to pick up the meat on another plate, and then looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang had no choice but to sandwich a piece of roast goose and tap it on another plate of sauce......

Zhao Hu learned from it, it was a different taste, the skin was similar, but this piece of meat was not as tender as the previous one, but it was not greasy, and it was another taste with this sweet and sour sauce.

Baiguan is not a stupid person, and he has been paying attention to the emperor, so he naturally saw the interaction between their ancestors and grandchildren, and they all followed to learn to eat this dish.

Ji Yuan was more straightforward, and after eating, he beckoned to the waiter and asked, "These two dishes have different meat qualities, what are they called?" ”

The waiter bowed down and said, "In the waiter, this is the roast duck and the roast goose, all of which are roasted by His Majesty." ”

These two dishes are based on the practice of Guangfu, Zhao Hanzhang has eaten several times when he was roasted before, this is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it is the fattest time for duck, so the roast duck is the best.

After Zhao Hanzhang took care of Zhao Hu, he finally sandwiched the balls he had in mind.

This is meatballs, the meat and flour are mixed together in an excellent ratio, and some spices are blended, which is the most suitable for Zhao Hanzhang's taste.

Fu Tinghan will feel slightly chai when he eats it, and he feels that it is not tender enough, but the meat is very firm, Zhao Hanzhang likes it very much, and what she likes as much as she is the Wang family, and Zhao Erlang, who is not in Luoyang.

Their family of three all tastes like this.

Zhao Hanzhang remembered something, turned his head to look, and sure enough, the Wang family had already eaten the two balls, and it seemed that he was still a little unsatisfied.

Zhao Hanzhang separated the balls, only clamped half of them, and then looked at Tinghe.

Tinghe stepped forward and carefully picked up the small bowl and sent it to Wang.

Wang was overjoyed, glanced at her daughter and ate the half of the ball.

Fu Tinghan handed over the two balls that he hadn't eaten to Fu An.

Fu An was about to give it to Zhao Hanzhang, Lai Qing quickly stepped forward to take it, the two of them competed quietly, and finally Lai Qing won, so he snatched the bowl and gave it to Zhao Hanzhang, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, this is given by the imperial husband." ”

Zhao Hanzhang paused, turned his head and glanced at Lai Qinghou's chin.

She looked at Fu Tinghan, who was sitting not far away, and asked him, "Which dish do you think is the best?" ”

Fu Tinghan said: "It's all good, peony and swallow vegetables are the best." ”

Zhao Hanzhang bowed his head, glanced at it, and then took out a chopstick stew bamboo shoots with chopsticks, and then asked people to give the rest to the eldest princess.

He used chopsticks to clip a chopstick fish, and then asked someone to send the longevity fish to Zhao Song, and the rest of the roast duck to Zhao Hu......

Every important hero was taken care of, and seeing that Tuoba Yilu liked to buckle meat, she took a piece and sent the rest to their table.

Alas, being an emperor is actually quite tiring, and he has to be wet with rain and dew.

Zhao Hanzhang finally sandwiched one of the two balls in a bowl and asked people to send it to King An.

In the midst of the bustle, the musicians of the music workshop stepped forward to perform, some female dancers, and some male dancers, Zhao Hanzhang watched the two shows, and his eyes looked at the Tuoba father and son who were not far away through them.
