Chapter Seventy-Five: Just a Meal

Coming to the kitchen, Zhao Si looked at the large pile of ingredients in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The impact of the jade halo on crops is useless now, and there is a high probability that it will not be proven without a year or two of effort, and it will not be proven without a few stubbles.

Growing food is a grinding effort, not overnight, and the aura of Puyu cannot make food premature.

In contrast, instead of thinking about it here, it is better to think about how to cook today's dinner, so that the First Emperor can eat comfortably, so as not to care about his own small actions.

"Hmm...... It doesn't seem quite right. Zhao Si thought for a while, he was peeking, and his eyes were obviously full of the First Emperor.

He looked down at the various vegetables in front of him.

First of all, the tender corn, thanks to the golden finger, the corn cob is large and full, and does not need special cooking, and the tender corn boiled in white water has the best taste.

The second is sweet potato leaves, which can be stir-fried, but Zhao Si plans to change the method.

Then the flour was taken out, and the white flour was extremely precious in these years.

The stone mill in this year is very valuable, and it is not appropriate to call it a stone mill, but it should be called a stone mill.

Secondly, the focus of white flour is peeling, which can only be manually screened after grinding with alkali in ancient times.

The sweet potato leaves are slightly cleaned, no need to dry, and the sweet potato leaves with water are directly dipped in flour and steamed. By the way, knock out the garlic juice, and when it is steamed, sprinkle the garlic juice on it.

Garlic juice can be seasoned with chili pepper and salt, but Zhao Si likes to simply order garlic juice, and adding chili salt will affect the original taste of sweet potato leaves.

The next step is to simply make a few small stir-fries.

Because he picked up a few small potatoes that had not fully grown up, and by the way, he made another potato stew, Zhao Si had been hungry for a long time.

A stir-fried spinach, a spicy chicken, and a vinegared cabbage.

In addition, I made a white noodle soup with flour and frangipani in it.

If you don't have time to make steamed buns, just spread a few white flour pancakes, and then you will eat them directly with the vegetables, and put them in the two river basins called steamed buns and cabbage.

As for the small sweet potatoes that were not fully grown, Zhao Si simply threw them into the fire and roasted them after pondering.

Half an hour later, Chef Zhao, who had been busy for a long time, began to serve the food.

A simple 5-dish and 1-soup!

The First Emperor did not invite Zhao Si this time.

Fortunately, there is still something left in Zhao Si's back kitchen.

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si, and Zhao Si immediately stepped forward to start introducing.

"Your Majesty, this is a sweet potato leaf."

Flour, garlic juice, sweet potato leaves, steamed, simple.

Without any hesitation, the First Emperor picked up a few pieces and put them in his mouth.

Among the taste buds, the crisp fragrance of sweet potato leaves and the embellishment of garlic juice instantly activated the taste buds of the First Emperor.

There is no extra seasoning, and the taste and texture of the ingredients themselves are already a must. Just right, steamed but not steamed, retaining the crisp and refreshing taste and soft glutinous flour on the surface,

The First Emperor's originally scarce appetite quietly opened.

"Your Majesty, this is a goulash with potatoes." Zhao Si smiled and spoke.

"Grown?" When it comes to potatoes, the First Emperor naturally puts aside the food first.

"It hasn't grown yet, so I just pulled a few to see how it grows, but it can't be wasted, and I deliberately stewed beef, which matches with beef, which can be described as a must." Zhao Si smiled and spoke.

The First Emperor nodded and picked up a piece of beef.

Entrance!

Slightly spicy, chewy.

Chili, vinegar, rice wine, pepper, green onion, coriander, Zhao Si's cooking skills are not too good, but the dishes are novel.

Then he picked up a thumb-sized small potato.

The small potatoes are more tender, and Zhao Si stewed them directly with the skin, which has a better taste.

The entrance is soft and glutinous, the powder is tender and tender, and the beef soup is eaten thoroughly, and the first taste of potatoes can be described as amazing.

"It's stir-fried spinach."

"It's spicy chicken!"

The first emperor tried them one by one, the spinach was tender, and the spicy chicken was vigorous.

After tasting the hot pot for the first time, the freshness disappeared, and the first emperor's appetite decreased again, and when he went to Lantian again, he didn't expect that Zhao Si had once again innovated in food art.

The way to eat steamed cabbage also made the first emperor very satisfied, after all, it is a man from northern Shaanxi, it is normal to eat this bite, and the white flour egg soup has no taste, but it is very suitable for slipping and sewing.

All that's left is the main event.

Roasted sweet potatoes and boiled corn.

The sweet potato is not big and has not fully grown, but because it is not fully grown, there are not many old tendons in it, and it tastes better.

Boiling corn made the eyes of the First Emperor shine.

Tender, glutinous and slightly sweet.

The First Emperor vaguely remembered that Zhao Si's evaluation of corn seemed to be not very delicious?

It's clearly much better than wheat.

Even if wheat is made into fine white flour, the taste and texture are far from that of boiled corn.

"When the corn is tender, it is best to cook, and the chicken broth and bone broth can be placed in it. However, you need to pay attention to the season, if you are a little older, the taste will be much worse. ”

Zhao Si's explanation made the First Emperor puzzled.

Fully ripe corn isn't tasty, not even if it's ground into flour, but it's a bonus, and young corn is delicious when cooked.

The First Emperor miraculously found that his appetite seemed to have changed again.

Could it be a mood factor? Or maybe it's a new trick made by Zhao Si?

In short, the First Emperor had a rare appetite recently, and once again ate a round stomach in the Lantian camp, so that the First Emperor was even more lazy, lying on the chaise longue between the grounds, looking at the high corn eyes and smiling.

"How long will it take for these crops to ripen?" The First Emperor looked at the lush hundred-acre fields.

What is planted here is the future of Great Qin.

"It's almost a month." Zhao Si stood beside the First Emperor and replied.

"Corn should be the fastest, and it will be made in more than ten days, followed by sweet potatoes and potatoes, and it won't take long." Zhao Si opened his mouth to answer.

At this moment, Zhao Si also has some expectations.

After all, the growth of these three crops is related to their own after-the-fact rewards.

And Zhao Si also wanted to know how much impact his jade aura could have on these three crops.

If it is true that sweet potatoes and potatoes yield one or two thousand catties per mu, and corn yields three or five hundred catties per mu, and then bring the credit of returning from going to sea, even if you don't have to do anything in the future, I am afraid that you will not lose the position of the marquis.

The First Emperor did not speak, but quietly looked at everything that was lush and vibrant, and his heart was comfortable and happy.

And Zhao Si continued to peek at the First Emperor who did not look back.

How fresh, if you didn't bring your mobile phone, you would have to give the first emperor a co-production and send a circle of friends.

In the end, the First Emperor did not bother with Zhao Si's slightly disrespectful gaze, and left with Meng Yi before twilight.

And by the way, a few deck chairs were taken away, and even the deck chair with Wang Jian was also taken away by the First Emperor.

If it weren't for other arrangements for Zhao Si, Bao Buqi would have to be taken to the palace to be the imperial chef even with Zhao Si.
