Chapter 82: Who said that this fish was for the people to eat?

The two of them, one is the emperor and the other is the princess.

The world's delicacies, where is there anything he hasn't eaten?

What's more, his father and daughter already love to eat fish.

Because of this, every year, fish production places in various places do not know how much fresh fish is supplied to the royal family.

And this Huaiyang silver carp, of course, their father and daughter have also tasted it.

It's just that because of the fishy taste and thorny nature of the Huaiyang silver carp, it has always been resisted by the royal family.

In particular, Li Anmin personally kicked this fish out of the tribute list.

You can look at this Huaiyang silver carp on the plate again.

Not only is there no fishy smell at all, but there are few thorns, the meat is soft and tender, and it melts in the mouth, which is very enjoyable to eat.

Is this a chef's problem?

Is it that the imperial chef in the palace did not do a good job of Huaiyang silver carp?

Thinking of this, Li Anmin was also a little annoyed.

Thinking that he, the co-owner of the world, his favorite food on weekdays, tastes not as good as a county order.

If this is said, won't it make people laugh out of their big teeth?

Li Anmin looked up at Wu Huanian and said, "Can you let me meet the cook who makes this fish?" ”

"Yes."

Wu Huanian agreed.

Then, he pointed to his nose and said, "I did it." ”

"What?"

Li Anmin and Li Qiuling's eyes widened at the same time, and they both looked at him in disbelief.

"Why are you reacting so much?"

Wu Huanian said inexplicably: "I made this fish, is it strange?" ”

Odd.

Very, very strange.

You know, in such a feudal era.

The gentleman cooks far away, which has already become an iron law in the hearts of people in this era.

The people of this era firmly believed that those who read should stay away from the kitchen.

If a scholar spends all day in the kitchen fiddling with food, it is a trivial matter to make people laugh for a few days, and his career will be affected by it.

Li Anmin also didn't expect that Wu Huanian, who passed the scientific examination and sat in the county order position when he was a teenager, would actually cook in person.

Of course.

Also unexpectedly was Li Qiuling.

As a royal heir, she learned all kinds of etiquette from an early age.

The gentleman's long-term cooking is the principle she believes in, and it is also her mate selection standard.

At this moment, Li Qiuling's eyes when he looked at Wu Huanian changed.

"Master Wu's style of acting is really different."

"As a scholar, he even cooks by himself, aren't you afraid of being smoked by the fumes?"

The irony of Li Qiuling's words is too strong.

Especially her eyes full of disdain, which made Wu Huanian's heart extremely unhappy.

"I don't know if the smoke will burn my brain."

"All I know is the phrase "I have enough food and clothing."

Wu Huanian was not used to Li Qiuling at all, and replied: "Maybe in the eyes of others, it is a shame for a man to cook, but in my opinion, as a man, if you can't grasp it inside and outside, it is no different from a waste person with missing arms and legs." ”

"As the saying goes, a gentleman cooks far away."

"Your Lord Wu was a county commander before, and now you are a Qincha."

"You have to be worthy of your own identity, and you have to be worthy of the court's attention to you."

"If you let others know that our Lord Qincha actually cooks by himself every day, how should the imperial court deal with itself?"

"Did Your Majesty treat you badly? Or is the court unwilling to give you a monthly salary, so you can't even afford to hire a cook? ”

"So, Master Wu, let's do less of such chores in the future."

Li Qiuling's tone was somewhat serious.

It's like a teacher educating his students.

And both inside and outside the words are reminding Wu Huanian not to embarrass the court in the future.

Hear her words.

Look at the look in her eyes again.

Wu Huanian was also unhappy to the extreme.

Good guys, I was so happy when I said it.

Have you forgotten what your expression was when you ate the fish made by Lao Tzu as if you were a starving ghost reincarnated?

Wu Huanian said angrily: "I don't have any other hobbies in my life." ”

"I don't like to fiddle with the tube in the color cup, and I don't like to soak in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion."

"I just want to have a good bite."

"If this is a disgrace to the imperial court, then what are those officials who soak in the Qin Mansion and Chu Pavilion all day long?"

"What are those ministers who are idle and have nothing to do, just take a few concubines and run to the gambling table to play a few games?"

He didn't kill people and set fires, he just liked to cook.

But these people still came to despise him, saying that he had disgraced the court.

If he is a disgrace to the court.

So what are those corrupt officials? Give the court a long face?

Hearing Wu Huanian's words, Li Qiuling was also dumbfounded for a while.

Li Anmin nodded secretly.

Of course.

He didn't think that Wu Huanian's thinking was fine.

but recognized the eloquence of this goods.

Should I say it or not, Wu Huanian's mouth, that can really say that the dead are alive.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more embarrassing, Li Anmin diverted the topic.

"I've been here today, and I've really learned a lot."

"I've eaten this Huaiyang silver carp before, but I didn't know that this fish had a different taste."

Li Anmin stroked the beard on his chin, looked up at Wu Huanian, and said, "Master Wu, do you know, how much is this fish?" ”

Hear this.

Wu Hua is happy.

He had been waiting for Li Anmin to ask him this.

In other words, he had planned a long time ago to find someone to pit him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have cooked such a large table of dishes for people to taste.

And after Li Anmin spoke.

Wu Huanian immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "The main thing about this fish is that it is good quality and cheap, and one pound is just a bucket of grain." ”

"Is this still cheap?"

Zhou Qi's eyes widened and said, "The grass carp in Weishui is only twenty or thirty dollars a tail even in winter!" ”

Fish are the hardest to catch in winter.

At that time, it was only sold for twenty or thirty yuan, which shows how cheap this fish is.

If you count it in terms of catties, it is only a few pennies a catty.

Wu Huanian pouted when he heard this.

"I'm not talking about the price of food in the capital."

Wu Huanian said: "It's the current grain price in our Taizhou City." ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Not to mention Zhou Qi, even Li Anmin's face is a little unpleasant.

The current food price in Taizhou City.

One bucket is no more, no less, exactly about ninety wen.

And the fish on the table is about seven or eight pounds.

If Wu Huanian said so, wouldn't the value of this fish be nearly six hundred wen?

To know.

At present, the exchange rate between copper coins and silver is also 1:600.

A fish, a tael of silver.

This special meow is simply sky-high.

"Who set the price?"

Li Anmin asked with a dark face.

"Me."

Wu Huanian pointed to his nose.

Li Anmin couldn't help but roll his eyes, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

Where would someone else set prices so arbitrarily?

Li Anmin took a deep breath, looked at Wu Huanian with unkind eyes, and said, "Master Wu, you have priced this fish so expensive, where can ordinary people afford it?" ”

Wu Huanian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I didn't say it, this fish is for ordinary people to eat." ”
