"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan's chef said that there will be a piece of meat in Yuqing Palace today. I would like to ask Concubine Lan what flavor she would like."
Xiaocui was crying while talking, and Chen Nan frowned.
"What's going on? What does it mean to have a bite today? I haven't tasted meat in years. What does this royal chef do for a living? Are you tired of working? Give me a shelf in the kitchen."
Chen Nan was furious. Although he had ordered the palace to cut down on expenses, he could still eat meat for every meal. Therefore, he felt that Concubine Lan must have been targeted.
"No, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." Concubine Lan became anxious when she saw Chen Nan was angry. She also understood that if Chen Nan left, something would happen to their kitchen, so she quickly stopped Chen Nan and thought Make things clear.
"Yu'er, don't say anything. I know you are a kind person, but they dare to steal your things. I want to teach them a lesson." Before Lan Fei could say anything, Chen Nan strode away.
"I brought this up myself." Lan Fei said loudly, making him stop and turn to look at her.
"Your Majesty, I came up with all this meat myself. I can't blame them."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty, money is needed a lot nowadays. I, I did what I should do."
As Concubine Lan spoke, she was a little afraid that Chen Nan would be unhappy.
"Yu'er, I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Dezi, please go to the imperial kitchen and tell me that I will go to Yuqing Palace to have dinner at noon today and prepare some delicious food." Concubine Lan was held in Chen Nan's arms and said to her side The ox father-in-law ordered.
"Wait a minute, do you want to try my daughter's cooking?" Lan Fei raised her head and stared at Chen Nan with burning eyes.
"Yu'er is also a master at cooking. Xiao Dezi, Cui'er, you two, get me something to eat. I want to see what kind of food you are cooking."
"Your Majesty, I'll get it myself. Just wait a moment." Concubine Lan struggled out of his arms and ran to the imperial kitchen to prepare some ingredients.
While Chen Nan was idle, he thought of a body-training technique taught by Mr. Yun to his previous master. The previous master had practiced it once and found it very good, so he started practicing it in Yuqing Palace.
Concubine Lan had just finished practicing and came over with a few people. To his surprise, the little eunuchs were holding a huge brazier with firewood in it.
"Yu'er, what do you want from me?" Chen Nan asked doubtfully. Although it is spring, it doesn't look like he is keeping warm on the stove.
"Your Majesty, the slave family is about to bake, just wait aside." Concubine Lan asked Mr. Niu to hand him a stool, and then took Xiaoyu and started busy.
The firewood was put into the brazier and made a sizzling sound. When the firewood was halfway burning, Concubine Lan poured a bucket of cold water on the firewood. The firewood immediately disappeared and turned into deep red.
At this time, Concubine Lan had already placed the skewers on the brazier, turning them over from time to time. She looked at Chen Nan and raised his forehead. She did not expect that in this parallel space, there would be barbecue.
What he is best at is barbecue. He used to be a fire captain. Every summer when he didn't have to perform duties, everyone would get together and barbecue together, which he missed very much.
"I'm here to help you, Yu'er." Chen Nan was still free and picked two pieces of barbecue, and then he felt something was wrong.
"You can also cook barbecue?" Concubine Lan was a little surprised to see Chen Nan cooking so well.
"That's natural. If Yu'er can bake, I can naturally bake too. Yu'er, where did you learn how to barbecue?"
"When I was young, I was often in the military camp with my father. When my father had nothing to do, he would cook some meat. I gradually learned how to cook it. I don't know where the emperor learned it from."
"Yu'er, I said you have talent, do you believe it?" Of course Chen Nan would not admit that he learned it from his elders, so he just made an excuse.
"Yu'er, the heat is a little bit off." He looked at the barbecue, but it didn't look good at all.
"Dad has done this before, how can he not be familiar with it?" Concubine Lan frowned. Although she had seen her father a lot, this was the first time she had actually taken action in person.
"Let me have a look." After watching for a while, he finally found the problem. Just now, Concubine Lan poured a bucket of water into it. Although the flame was extinguished, there was more and more water inside, and the flame gradually disappeared. .
"Yu'er, you can't bake like this!" Chen Nan looked at the burnt piece of wood and was stunned.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? What is that?" Concubine Lan looked at the half stick in her hand and asked strangely.
"Yu'er, you are really my lucky general. Why didn't I take out the charcoal? Haha." Chen Nan threw the fire stick aside in his hand, then hugged Concubine Lan's face and squeezed her hard. A kiss on her cheek.
The charcoal residue in his hand dyed Lan Fei's entire face into a little cat.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Yu'er didn't understand a word of it." Concubine Lan was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Haha, Yu'er, don't move around. I will cook tonight." Chen Nan helped Lan Fei to the seat and asked the little eunuch to start lighting the fire.
This time, he did not use any clean water, but asked a young eunuch to cover the firewood with prepared clay. The fire was blocked by the soil and oxygen, and the firewood was slowly extinguished.
Concubine Lan was sitting by the fire, looking at the barbecue on the bonfire. His eyes fell on the bonfire, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
A roasted meat was cooked, sprinkled with spices, and the aroma filled the air. Concubine Lan and all the maids and eunuchs couldn't help but swallow with jealousy on their faces.
"Come, let Yu'er taste the food I cooked." Lan Fei picked up a skewer and ate it piece by piece, with a bright smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, it's so delicious, you should try it too." Concubine Lan handed the roasted meat to Chen Nan, and the two of them devoured more than a dozen roasted meats before stopping.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you." There were still a lot of barbecues, so Chen Nan was generous and gave each of the eunuchs and maids a piece, but he cooked them himself.
After the meal, Chen Nan took some charcoal and hurried away. Concubine Lan was a little reluctant to part with it, but she also understood that Chen Nan must have something important to do, so she didn't say anything more.
"Call Zhao Lide and come to the workshop immediately." He left Yuqing Palace and conveyed instructions one after another. Zhao Lide had just finished his meal and was taking a nap on the couch when he suddenly received this order and almost fell off the bed in shock. .
Zhao Lide had just arrived and before he had time to say hello, he heard him say: "Go and invite the master. I have already thought about the heat for smelting the iron."
"As ordered." Zhao Lide quickly ordered someone to find the craftsman from the morning. He looked anxious, but in fact he didn't trust him very much.
