Chapter 36: The Prince

While waiting for the firewood to burn, Hu Changan took out a small bag of various spices, and took out a mini medicine mill bought from the pharmacy and began to grind it.

If you want to make a good barbecue, good seasoning is naturally the key.

Compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, the seasonings of the Ming Dynasty are much richer, but they are still incomparable with modern times.

Although many exotic seasonings have been introduced to the Central Plains, the price is still high due to the scarcity of quantity.

Moreover, people in the Ming Dynasty often used precious exotic spices as incense or for medical care, and few people thought of adding them directly to their dishes.

Hu Changan also wasted a lot of effort before he found a little pepper and cumin in the Chinese medicine shop.

But for the sake of good food, it's all worth it!

Hu Changan threw sea salt, chili, pepper and cumin into the medicine mill together, and happily made the barbecue seasoning.

When the three peasants saw Hu Changan grabbing a bunch of strange-shaped things and grinding them, they couldn't help but be puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Hu Changan was buying in the gourd.

Among them, Li Si was the most well-informed, and whispered to the other two: "Hey, I know what it is." I used to work as a laborer in a spice shop in the city, and it seemed to be a high-priced spice from an exotic land, which was said to be added to the sachet. ”

What!

When the other two heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at Hu Changan's appearance, he wants to make seasonings.

But no matter how expensive the spice is, it is still the spice for smoking clothes!

Is it okay to put this in the food?

I don't think it's time to have a good meal.

The three peasants looked at Hu Changan's actions, as if they were looking at a rare gorilla, full of puzzlement.

But Hu Changan didn't care about everyone's weird eyes, just kept grinding seasonings in his hands.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Hu Changan took a few skewers of mutton skewers and put them on the grid above the iron box, scooped a little spice with a small spoon and sprinkled them on the mutton skewers, and then turned the noodles up and down and grilled them happily.

After a while, the smell of barbecue came out.

The tempting aroma came to the nostrils, and the three farmers immediately looked forward to Hu Changan's cooking.

Even the eunuchs and palace maids who were standing far away under the porch sniffed and wanted to see where the fragrance came from.

Hu Changan smelled the familiar fragrance and almost shed a line of tears.

I've been here for a few months, and I'm finally able to eat modern cuisine!

The saliva in Hu Changan's mouth was secreted crazily.

Hu Changan also kept in his hands, turning over the mutton skewers neatly, which was quite a taste of a night market chef.

Finally, Hu Changan saw that the heat was almost over, and hurriedly transferred the grilled mutton skewers to the plate on the side, picked up a skewer of mutton skewers, and couldn't wait to start.

As soon as you bite into it, the fresh aroma of the mutton mixed with the fragrant cumin flavor quickly explodes in your mouth.

Hu Changan couldn't help but take a deep breath, full of joy.

Finally, after eating cold soup for a few months, I was able to eat normal food!

Unlike modern barbecue, ancient barbecue is solid and fidelity.

When it is said to be mutton, it is fresh meat cut from the leg of mutton, and it is not some kind of rat meat.

This barbecue is safe to eat.

Hu Changan carefully tasted a lamb skewer, and beckoned the three farmers to come and eat it together.

Seeing this, the three peasants wanted to eat, but they were still a little hesitant.

After all, that's the spice for smoking clothes, so is it really okay to eat it?

However, smelling the pungent fragrance and looking at Hu Changan's intoxicated expression, the three farmers were also quite moved.

In the end, Wang Wu, who was still the most daring, quickly picked up a string of mutton skewers from the plate, followed Hu Changan's example, and ate it carefully.

Suddenly, a peculiar fragrance permeated Wang Wu's mouth and nose.

This fragrance was something Wang Wu had never felt before.

Eaten with mutton, it perfectly brings out the fresh aroma of mutton and adds a unique flavor, which is really addictive.

Wang Wu suddenly felt that even if he got sick after eating a few bunches, it was worth it!

The peasants had a big appetite, and when they divided five by two, the small mutton skewers were gnawed down.

Wang Wu burped happily, and hurriedly beckoned his brothers to come and taste this delicious food together.

Seeing this, the other two also cautiously picked up a skewer of mutton and ate it.

Suddenly, the number of people who happily enjoyed the food became four.

Hu Changan licked his mouth unsatisfied, and just wanted to eat another one, but was surprised to find that there was a slippery piece on the plate.

On the ground a zhang away, three peasants were squatting on the ground, looking at Hu Chang'an with blank eyes.

Hu Changan couldn't help laughing.

It seems that this barbecue is not small in its attraction to the ancients.

Hu Changan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just eat today, I bought a lot of things today, and if I don't eat enough, I will go out to buy it!" ”

When the three peasants heard this, they immediately cheered, and shouted the young master's wisdom.

And Hu Changan did not live up to their expectations, continued to pick up a few skewers of mutton skewers and grilled them patiently.

Roasting and roasting, Hu Changan suddenly felt that not far away, an expectant gaze was looking at him.

Hu Changan raised his eyes and looked, good guy, it turned out to be Zhu Yunxi, who he had saved before.

I saw Zhu Yunxi wearing a pale yellow prince's suit, and he was holding a thin copy of "The Analects" in his hand, and it seemed that he had just gotten out of school.

Beside Zhu Yunxi, a tall man was holding Zhu Yunxi's little hand, looking at Hu Changan lightly.

This man was wearing a bright yellow prince's suit, and he looked three points similar to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's non-anger and self-authority, the man obviously has a little more gentle scholarly temperament, but his whole body is still extravagant.

It seems that this is the legendary Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao can be said to be the most stable prince in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In terms of background, Zhu Biao is both the son-in-law and the eldest son, and his biological mother is still Queen Ma, who has a very good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, and her direct innate advantages are full.

In terms of popularity, whether it is a group of ministers, or Zhu Di and other brothers, they all respect and love Zhu Biao.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who is full of people at every turn, Zhu Biao has always been known for being kind and easy-going, and has a very high popularity in the court in the early Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of many half-siblings, Zhu Biao is also an extremely reliable brother who cares for them.

In terms of strength, Zhu Biao is also well-deserved excellent.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting abroad, Zhu Biao had supervised the country alone many times, and handled the affairs of the DPRK and China in an orderly manner, so that Zhu Yuanzhang had no worries.

Zhu Biao also has a very high prestige among the generals, and the Ming generals led by Lan Yu all obediently bow down in front of Zhu Biao.

At the same time, Zhu Biao also won Zhu Yuanzhang's love and favor.
