Chapter 21 Improving Food

After tasting the stir-fried dishes cooked by Zhang Xiaolin himself, Zhang Gongluo and others suddenly felt that the meals of the previous decades were eaten in vain, and it turned out that ordinary Chinese cabbage could make such a taste!

Zhang Gongluo is very strange, Zhang Xiaolin has never been far away, how can he have so many skills?

Zhang Xiaolin said that he learned this by chatting with an imperial chef when he lived in the palace. This is the craftsmanship of the palace, no one doubts it, Zhang Gongluo is just amazed at Zhang Xiaolin's talent against the sky, chatting with the imperial chef can make such a delicious meal? But thinking of him listening to the story of the divine doctor Hua Tuo's surgery, he can operate on the queen's mother, this is nothing. In the end, it was concluded that this son was extremely talented, no wonder even the living immortal Yuan Tiangang was commensurate with his brother.

Such a genius must not be wasted.

Zhang Gongluo and Zhang Chunhe discussed again and again, and decided to continue Zhang Xiaolin's studies, and the affairs in the palace would not be mixed with him in the future.

Zhang Xiaolin heard that he should continue to study, but he was willing, when he first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, there were still many things that really needed to be mended, otherwise, sooner or later, he would be a gangster.

But when he heard that he would not be allowed to enter the kitchen from now on, he was not happy.

Zhang Chunhe earnestly taught: "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the kitchen is a place for vulgar people to stay, and he is a butcher who kills chickens and ducks." ”

Zhang Xiaolin said: "I have eaten in the palace for more than ten days, and I feel that the food at home is really unpalatable, so let's do it, before returning to school, I taught a few stir-fried dishes in the palace to the chef at home, and I no longer cook." ”

Zhang Gongluo smiled: "Then we will have a good mouth, but pay attention, don't patronize the taste, nutrition is also very important." ”

Zhang Xiaolin is grateful to have such an enlightened grandfather, in contrast, his father and uncle are more conservative, while his uncle Zhang Chunwang and his grandfather are still very open-minded.

Although there is no chicken essence MSG, the sauce and vinegar are already very ripe.

Zhang Xiaolin did not teach the chef to cook the dishes by hand, but told them which dishes in the palace can be stir-fried, and which ones should be matched with ginger, green onions, garlic, chili, pepper and other ingredients, and all the raw materials at home are written on paper one by one according to the techniques of frying, steaming, stewing, stir-frying, stir-frying, yellow stewing, braising and marinating, marinating, pickling, etc., and took these chefs out to purchase a batch of ingredients, and a lot of spices were purchased in the pharmacy.

When purchasing game, Zhang Xiaolin accidentally found wild boar, and was immediately overjoyed, he could finally eat pork, and his favorite chili fried meat in his previous life could finally be realized.

Not only that, but you can refine wild boar fat and roast vegetables!

This was definitely a breakthrough in the culinary history of the time.

After nearly a week of demonstration, Zhang Xiaolin taught these skills to the chef at home one by one, and when eating, he commented again, and after the chef's continuous improvement, Zhang Xiaolin found that many dishes have even surpassed the five-star hotels in the previous life, because the raw materials are much better than the previous life!

Soon, the people of Zhang's house no longer ate boiled vegetables, and various dishes were constantly invented.

The Zhang family has a large population, there are eighty or ninety people in their own clan, and there are sixty or seventy people under them, and there are many people with mixed mouths, and there are often guests Ali who raises the price to eat, and soon, the fame of the Zhang family's chef spreads, and the food of the Zhang family is praised as a fairy delicacy by the people of Chang'an.

Gradually, there were more and more guests of the Zhang family, and the ministers of the court, princes and nobles liked to come to Doctor Zhang's house, if not for anything else, just to eat a stir-fried meal.

At the beginning, Zhang Gongluo and Zhang Gongming were overjoyed, thinking that they could make some friends, which would be beneficial to the development of the family in the future, but later, they didn't get tired of it, there were too many people who came, and many of them simply came to eat.

In the end, Zhang Xiaolin proposed that a housekeeper come forward and open a large hotel specializing in stir-frying.

No matter which way the gods are, it's okay to come to eat, you have to pay for silver.

After the opening of the Zhang's fairy food building, it was very popular, and soon set off a stir-fry wind in Chang'an, but although the stir-fried dishes in various restaurants look similar, the taste is very different, the reason is the use of wild boar fat, this is Zhang Xiaolin's exclusive secret, Zhang Xiaolin will never allow the chef to spread out. In addition, Zhang Xiaolin's various recipe firing methods have also become the secret of the Zhangjia Immortal Food Building.

After the opening of the Immortal Food Building, Zhang Gongluo was surprised to find that the monthly income of the food building exceeded the sum of the annual income of all the people of the original Zhang family.

After Zhang Xiaolin re-entered the Guozijian to study, because of the name of the prince, his life was very good.

He did not need to study a certain subject in the Tang Dynasty, but needed to understand the culture, customs, etiquette, laws, etc. of the time, so he did not necessarily belong to any college.

The master of Guozijian and the teacher were helpless against him, he was the prince, more than half a year, Zhang Xiaolin in addition to serious cultivation, cultural learning is basically three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, fortunately, the cultivation progress is very fast, and at the end of the year, it has reached the peak of the first layer of qi training.

Guozijian includes six colleges: Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Law, Calligraphy and Arithmetic. Zhang Xiaolin is not fixed in a certain college, but to see how the mood of the day, half a year down, the six major subjects have basically mastered a lot, including law and calligraphy, law is very simple, Zhang Xiaolin has a sense of consciousness, read it once and remember, calligraphy is not so easy, especially Zhang Xiaolin didn't even hold a pen much in his previous life, let alone write with a brush.

Fortunately, the power of divine consciousness is powerful, and those traditional characters are quickly remembered by him, although the writing of the brush is a bit miserable, but every stroke is in its rightful place, and others can still recognize it.

The most terrible thing is the canteen, Zhang Xiaolin was more picky about what he ate, and his family's food was improved, but Guozijian's canteen was not something he could change, it was still boiled, and he ate meals that were not even as good as pig food every day, Zhang Xiaolin wanted to cry without tears.
