After this large series of foreshadowing, his idea was not hindered in any way, and all members passed it immediately.

Liu Zhi didn't plan to discuss this matter in the court, so as not to leak the news.

The army was defeated quickly, and after several people finished discussing, they immediately began to discuss and write an edict, and 3,000 people were each transferred from Jizhou and Youzhou to support.

Worship Zhang Tan as the general of Beizhong Lang, and lead the five battalions of Tun cavalry, Yue cavalry, infantry, Changshui, and shooting, and secretly go out of Beijing to suppress bandits.

Zhang Tanqi also served as a Xiongnu lieutenant general, brave and diligent in battle, often taking the lead, and having the courage of ten thousand people.

In the army before, he was squeezed out by Liang Ji's faction and depressed for several years, but this time he was able to get back up because of Ma Wei's recommendation.

As for the matter of opening a warehouse for grain relief and transferring money, it will need to wait until the court meeting to discuss it.

By the time a few people had completely settled this matter, it was already the end of the hour, and it was already past dinner time.

Liu Zhi couldn't help it, so he left a few people in the palace and had dinner together.

Huang Qiong has always been obsessed with His Majesty's private dishes, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard it.

"Haha, if you can eat Your Majesty's food, it's worth it to be hungry today."

He was a well-known foodie in Kyoto, and everyone was amazed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but be curious about the upcoming feast.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, pigs and chickens were the main sources of meat, although beef and mutton were more prevalent in the upper class.

However, Liu Zhi himself has always been inclined to develop the cooking of pork in order to improve the use value of pork.

Today's main dish is a crispy roast suckling pig, a Cantonese dish that is so simple to make.

Roast suckling pig is not unusual, the same in the Han Dynasty, but the quality is so good that it has never been seen, and it is generally smoked black and shiny.

This dish is bright red in color and bright in oil, which makes people move their fingers at a glance.

Liu Zhi asked the cook to cut the meat into large slices, dip it in the prepared juice, and share a portion in front of everyone. "Everyone, please!"

As the host, Liu Zhi picked up the wine glass, with an elegant and noble demeanor, Huang Qiong couldn't wait for a long time, and after drinking the wine in the glass, he began to taste it carefully.

"Well, the skin is crispy and fragrant, the meat is tender and delicious, and the flavor is very unique."

Hearing his comments, the others were also full of anticipation and began to taste slowly.

"It's really delicious, smooth and tender, and the taste is long."

"It's really good, it's not flavorful."

……

Everyone couldn't help but praise again and again, half of them were sycophants, and half of them were really fond of it.

After the main course, three major dishes were served in a row, dry pot fat sausage, braised carp, and shredded chicken, each of which aroused a burst of amazement.

It is truly an eye-opener to have such an ordinary ingredient and an incomparably wonderful taste.

"What do you think of the taste?"

Liu Zhi took a chopstick to dry the pot and fat intestines, and everyone hurriedly followed.

"It's delicious, it's chewy, and it's full of strength."

"The color is bright and red, the texture is soft and rotten, the taste is fresh and fragrant, and the aftertaste is long."

"The taste is quite good, not old or tender, spicy and fragrant."

……

After a few people took turns to praise, Liu Zhi noticed that Huang Qiong, who had never hesitated to praise her, just smiled and didn't say anything, with a smile in her expression.

Hey, could it be that he actually knew that this was made of fat intestines?

You must know that the aristocracy at this time basically never ate animal offal, let alone fatty intestines that hide filth and dirt.

After boasting for a long time, several people were also puzzled, and they didn't understand what kind of material the delicious food in front of them was made of.

But seeing that the emperor himself was eating, he didn't think about anything bad at all.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of delicacy is this?"

Situ Yinxun felt that he liked it very much, and thought it was some rare mountain and sea delicacies, so he asked curiously.

Liu Zhi smiled and uncovered the mystery, "This is a delicacy cooked with the large intestine of a pig." ”

"Pig ...... Large intestine? ”

Yin Xun looked at the chopsticks in his hand, his face changed, he didn't eat it, he didn't eat it.

Yuan Tang almost vomited when he covered his mouth when he heard this, so he hurriedly forcibly held back.

Chen Yu is a military general in the end, even if he knows that this is a fat intestine, he still eats with relish.

Huang Qiong laughed, "When the old man traveled to Shuzhong, he also tasted this thing, but in terms of taste, it is better than His Majesty's." ”

Liu Zhi sighed, "This dish lacks chili peppers, and the spicy taste can only be replaced by dogwood and old ginger, which is less interesting after all." ”

At this time, there was no such thing as spicy, and it was generally said that it was spicy.

"Chili?"

Huang Qiong was very curious when she heard this, "What is this chili pepper?" ”

Liu Zhi knew that he was speechless, so he pushed and said, "Oh, chili pepper is an overseas vegetable, which can be used as a seasoning, and its spicy taste is very pure and thick.

I tasted it by chance from a seafarer when I was a child, and I still remember it vividly. ”

Hearing this, Huang Qiong's heart moved, "I don't know what this chili pepper looks like?" ”

Liu Zhi is a person who is not spicy or happy in modern times, and he never forgets chili peppers, and now although he is the son of heaven and enjoys all the delicacies in the world, he still feels very regretful.

At this time, he also described it in detail, "Pepper is an annual lettuce vegetable, the leaves are ovate, and its fruit is like a finger, and when ripe, it is red, orange and other colors, and the taste is extremely spicy. ”

Huang Qiong frowned and thought about it, "It sounds very similar to the dog pepper in Yizhou Qiqi County, its taste is like fire, and the poor people in the mountains may be salty instead." ”

Liu Zhi originally just said casually, in his mind, the origin of chili peppers was Mexico, and it was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that it came to China.

I didn't expect that there might be chili peppers in China, which was also shackled by the ideas of later generations.

Qiqi County is now the area of Guiyang, Guizhou, which is rich in products.

"Dog pepper?"

Liu Zhi was greatly moved, if it was really a chili pepper, wouldn't it be too wonderful, but he was the emperor, even if the mountains were high and the road was far away, it was easy to confirm.

You only need to order the county to come in, and you will know at a glance.

Even if it's not a chili pepper, as long as it's spicy, you can develop your own substitute.

"Haha...... If it's really a chili pepper, then the first one will be to invite you to enjoy it. ”

"That's very good, thank you in advance, haha......"

When it came to novel food, Huang Qiong immediately lifted her spirits.

Next, a few more ingredients were added, cucumber in sauce, cold salad with tender lotus root slices, and garlic water spinach.

The first two are okay, this plate of garlic water spinach is an authentic stir-fry, and the Han people don't have the concept of stir-fry at all.

Their so-called stir-frying is dry stir-frying, while frying is to add water and boil slowly, and the vegetables have not been stir-fried with fat.

At this time, it tasted exceptionally fresh, and Huang Qiong was especially full of praise, although he was also interested in the meat dishes in front of him
