Xu Jingchang's research on duck stuffing is very successful, he buys ducks for about a month, put them in clay pots to fatten, and in 20 days, a young duck can grow to six or seven pounds, which is already heavier than an adult duck.

The growth cycle of dozens of days before and after, the meat of the filled duck is fat and tender, like tofu, and the bones are soft and soft, which is very suitable for charcoal grilling. To this end, Xu Jingchang also built a special oven and made a lot of fruit trees.

I don't know if I will mention roast duck in the future, will it be named after Xu Gong...... Xu's roast duck, that's an authentic, Lao Yingtianren will get up this one, nothing else, don't eat two rolls of duck, not Lao Yingtianren!

In order to entertain the old Zhu family, Xu Jingchang roasted ten fat and tender stuffed ducks in one go, for which he also prepared lotus leaf cakes, lettuce leaves, sweet noodle sauce, garlic balsamic vinegar, cucumber strips, radish strips, and all kinds of dishes.

Yingtian sells a lot of roast ducks, but Xu Jingchang is the first to come up with so many tricks.

The Zhu family came over one after another, first of all, Zhu Zhanji, who ordered food.

"See for yourself, is that golden bean flower worth it? Not to mention anything else, just these Fluttershy, the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, are all official kiln porcelain, you kid just have fun. ”

As he spoke, Xu Jingchang grabbed a lotus leaf cake, rolled a few slices of duck meat, and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

"Taste it."

The little guy took it in his hand and took a bite hard, and suddenly a mellow fragrance filled his mouth...... The roasted duck has no fishy smell, on the contrary, it has a fruity aroma, the meat is crispy, and it melts in the mouth, which is simply indescribable.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed, dancing with his hands, and the imperial food in the palace was not as good as it, but his cousin would eat it.

Xu Jingchang was in a good mood, "Forget it, I'll send another sweet and sour live fish, I've been practicing this dish for almost a month." ”

Xu Jingchang looked at it and said casually: "Your Majesty and the queen mother have you started?" ”

The subordinates immediately said: "Not yet, now the Second Highness and the Third Highness have gone down to greet them, and the three brothers will enter the palace and then come over together." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Okay, prepare the oil pot first, and prepare the seasonings." ”

Xu Jingchang picked out a fat carp weighing four catties and put it in a wooden barrel to wait.

Finally, news came from over there, Zhu Di left, and Xu Jingchang immediately ordered to burn oil.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the Royal Street."

Xu Jingchang hurriedly took matters into his own hands, grabbed the carp, removed the scales, dissected the abdomen, and removed the internal organs...... The whole action was smooth and lightning-fast, even if the fish killing master was serious, he was not necessarily faster than him.

Everyone has a little talent, and Xu Jingchang found that almost all of his talent was in eating, drinking, and having fun.

Let him practice archery, for a few months, he is still at the level of shooting, but the set of killing fish, after practicing a few times, is the same as a familiar hand for many years.

Confucius said that you don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine. But in fact, judging from the fact that he has been depressed for most of his life, he really hasn't eaten anything decent.

You must have spare money and spare time to be able to invest your energy tirelessly in food.

Ordinary people can cook a meal, and it's good to eat it hot and hot.

Therefore, the first delicacies were either made by prominent scholars or wealthy salt merchants.

The salt merchants of Yangzhou are the initiators of Huaiyang cuisine, and the salt merchants of Zigong are the source of Sichuan cuisine...... A top nobleman like Xu Jingchang is really suitable for studying food.

Eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, and finally compile a few recipes, palace meals, and Xu's cuisine, which can also be passed on to future generations.

The noble life is so simple and unpretentious, clean and hygienic.

The fish is processed, and the oil pan over there is also cooked.

Zhu Di's family also arrived at the door, and it depends on the chef's kung fu at this moment.

Xu Jingchang wrapped the fish head in a wet towel, made a knife flower on the fish, put it directly into the hot oil pot, and counted silently in his heart, the time could not be long, about a minute and a half, quickly take it out.

Place in a pre-prepared hot plate.

That's right, all the plates served today have been preheated, otherwise the temperature will drop and the taste will be affected.

The fish is fried, and a sweet and sour sauce is burned over there.

Waiting for Zhu Di and the others to come in, Xu Jingchang poured the sweet and sour sauce, and the fragrance immediately rose.

And guess what, the fish's eyes are still blinking, and the fish's mouth is moving.

"Your Majesty, the dish is ready, hurry up and taste it."

Zhu Di glanced at it and couldn't help but say, "This is the sweet and sour live fish you kid said?" ”

"That's right, that's what I want."

Zhu Di looked at it, suddenly stretched out his chopsticks, clamped a piece of fish tail, put it in a small dish, turned around, and handed it to a big fat man.

"Boss, you have worked hard, this is what your father gave you."

In front of Zhu Di, he was a fat young man, who should be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and the flesh on his body was also two hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, a big fat man.

He took it excitedly and quickly took a bite.

"The child thanked his father, this fish is really a must, I didn't expect that my cousin still has this craft, which really surprised the child."

Zhu Di snorted: "He, he is smart, but he doesn't like to do serious things." While speaking, Zhu Di also took a piece of meat on the back of the fish and handed it to Xu Jingchang, "Thank you for being the host." ”

Xu Jingchang took it, rolled his eyes, and gave the big fat man a fishtail, probably entrusting him with a heavy task...... The prince has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and there is no doubt that he is going to sit on the throne.

But what does it mean to give yourself a fish back?

Say you're well prepared?

Xu Jingchang was still thinking about it, but Zhu Di said: "Boss, you can also give your two younger brothers a fish." ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly agreed, he hurriedly picked up a piece of fat fish belly and handed it to Zhu Gaochu.

This is a heart-to-heart push!

Zhu Gaoxu took it.

Zhu Gaochi came to the fish's excretion mouth with a chopstick and handed it to Zhu Gaosui.

This thing also has a name, called "Surely there will be a blessing".

In other words, Zhu Laohui and his second brother will be honest with each other, and the third brother will definitely have a good fortune and have no worries in this life...... Zhu Di did not reveal any tone in advance.

It's just that the eldest son of the emperor entered Beijing to catch the wind and wash the dust.

But Xu Jingchang knew in his heart that at this time, he had to be good at making balls for the superiors, so in addition to roast duck, he personally made this sweet and sour live fish.

He cooked it himself, so Zhu Di could divide the fish in a homeopathic manner...... And this fish is not an ordinary fish anymore.

The big guy tacitly understands it, except for the little Zhu Zhanji, who is ignorant, everyone else knows it.

Zhu Di asked the big guy to sit down and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, it's a family banquet." When I entered Beijing, I ate and drank in this courtyard. At that time, I also roasted all the pigeons raised by my father-in-law and ate meat. ”

Empress Xu glanced at him, "I also said, it was a carrier pigeon raised by my father, which made his old man feel distressed." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "It's not that the carrier pigeon doesn't eat it, the carrier pigeon has thick meat and is enjoyable to eat." ”

Zhu Laosi is also a bear child who can't run.

Empress Xu learned from Xu Jingchang's example, rolled a roll for Zhu Di, and handed it to Zhu Di.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Zhu Di raised his thumb high, "Xu Jingchang, is this the way you figured out how to eat?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "That's right, the minister is researching other cuisines, and I am looking through ancient books to find famous dishes." I plan to open a food column in Di Bao to promote Chinese food culture. By the way, Your Majesty is repairing books, don't stare at the hundreds of schools, it's best to add a piece of food, this is complete. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath and suddenly said to Zhu Gaochi: "Boss, you said that there are courtiers who are thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, and are doing the great business of repairing books, and he has to turn it into a recipe, such a thing, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Gaochi stuffed the duck meat roll in his mouth, and said busily: "You should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, after all, there are not many such capable ministers." ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyes angrily, "Second brother, what do you say?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The child doesn't know, the child is just thinking, if half of the people in Ying Tian eat roast duck, how many ducks will be consumed in a year, and how much money will be made." ”

Zhu Di frowned, and thought: "The second brother is very interesting, he cares about people's livelihood and economy, and he is much more sensible than before." Father asked you, this time your eldest brother did not completely destroy Korea, but only tasted it, and even Li Chenggui was not rescued, let alone restored Li Chenggui's position as the head of the country, how did he do? ”

"Good." Zhu Gaoxu said simply: "Father, if the vitality of North Korea is greatly damaged, the people's livelihood is withered, and they all become poor ghosts, then who will I prepare those things and sell them to?" If you can't sell it, won't your hard work be in vain? ”

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, "Second brother, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you like to fight the most in the past? How has it changed now? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, "The child hasn't changed, but there is always something to fight for." Of course, if you don't have to fight, you can make a lot of money, which is also good. ”

Zhu Di frowned more and more, he simply stared at Xu Jingchang, "I ask you, if there is still chaos on the North Korean side after a long time, and it can't be done once and for all, what should I do?" ”

"The minister doesn't know what His Majesty means once and for all, in fact, the minister thinks that His Highness's tactics are very good."

"What tactics? Did you sum it up for him? ”

"That's right, it's cutting winter melon...... The winter melons on the market are so large that the stall owners cut them into slices and sell them to customers. We can also do the same, slice it little by little, lest the fish of the vassal country die and be out of control. Xu Jingchang said with a smile.
