I don’t know how Zhang Tu informed the emperor. Anyway, until now, there has been no movement from the emperor.
Liu Deng couldn't help but feel worried. If the emperor found out that he had brought the three old men here, would he end up blaming himself for this matter?
But everyone is already here, and he doesn't want to think about these messy things, just take it one step at a time!
The cooks in the kitchen slowly exited in an orderly manner.
The huge palace kitchen was empty, leaving Den to pick and choose from inside.
It's getting dark now. Tofu was something that King Huainan had just invented and it had already become popular throughout the Han Dynasty.
Even Liu Deng couldn't put it down, and he had made some improvements on the original technology. Although it was already late at night, there were still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen.
Looking at the three old men sitting aside waiting for the meal, Liu Deng smiled bitterly secretly.
After all, they are already this age.
Tofu should be one of their most suitable foods.
After taking a few eggs from the side and selecting some ingredients, Liu Deng began to work nervously.
Chicken tofu, stuffed tofu, chicken cake, Sixi meatballs, crucian carp tofu soup, and then a plate of freshly steamed corn pancakes.
By the time the steaming meals were served, the three old men were already impatient.
Fu Sheng tremblingly aimed at a tofu ball, but because his hands were shaking so badly, Liu Deng hurried forward and handed him a spoon from the table.
This was a life saver. Although the old man was a little unskilled, he was finally able to eat by himself.
The old man was very satisfied with the fact that Liu Deng did not directly feed himself.
The remaining two old men had already smelled the aroma of the food, but they just watched Fu start, and they were both waiting for his feedback.
It was different from any meal they had ever eaten. They had never been exposed to cooking. After all, if the original historical trend was followed.
It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the cooking method of stir-frying really came into the public eye.
"how?"
Seeing Fu Sheng close his eyes after taking a bite, he began to ask questions directly for the two of them.
"This young man really didn't lie to me. He is indeed the best in the world! Good boy, good boy!"
After hearing Fu Sheng's evaluation, both of them were stunned. After looking at each other, they grabbed their chopsticks and began to slightly aim at their targets.
Liu Deng's taste is quite strong, so in order to accommodate the three old men, when he added the seasoning this time, he made it relatively light.
In addition to eating tofu and eggs as the main ingredients, even if the three of them had no more than ten teeth in their mouths, the three of them had a great time eating.
"Sure enough, this flavor can only be found in heaven! Especially this cake, it has a strange sweetness. I really don't know how this kid made it!"
Uncle Gao Tang. After tasting all the dishes, he grabbed a tortilla and took a bite. It seemed that the taste of this thing was the most to his liking.
"Not bad, not bad. It has a fresh aroma of vegetation among the sweetness, but it seems I have never eaten this before!"
After thinking about it for a long time, he still said with some admiration.
"Boy, when we leave, you have to give us the recipe for this pancake. Otherwise, the three of us will probably have to stay with you!"
Yes, these three old men are really happy.
Seeing the old man asking for the formula half-jokingly, Liu Deng was really amused. Speaking of which, the method of making this thing is really simple and outrageous.
It just uses freshly ground corn syrup, then mixes it with a little flour, beats it into a paste, binds it in a mold, and then puts it into a pan for frying.
It only takes one to two minutes to almost take shape. It will be golden brown on both sides and extremely soft in the middle.
It almost melts in the mouth and requires no chewing. It is most suitable for the elderly, especially the three centenarians.
"If the three elders like it, the younger generation will naturally offer it with both hands. However, this thing is not made from any of the grains known in the world. After the three gentlemen leave the country of Dai, they will be able to make it in a short time. I’m afraid I really can’t eat anymore…”
Liu Deng was a little cunning when he spoke. Looking at the three old men, corn was still in the promotion stage. Unless he knew him, no matter how much money he had, he couldn't get it.
"Young man, don't brag here. If you don't use the world's grains, how can you make this thing? Is it possible that you can cultivate a kind of food yourself?"
Fu Sheng said with a smile.
Liu Deng just smiled without nodding or shaking his head, without any expression, but the smile on his face immediately shocked the three old men.
Although the four of them have not known each other for a long time, the three of them are truly young and virtuous, and Liu Deng would not tell lies in front of them.
What's more, Liu Deng's boy is different from others. He is a prince of the Han Dynasty. If you want to say that this boy is lying, it seems a little unreliable.
It's just that it's too late, and the three old men have traveled a long distance. Sitting here to eat now makes them feel like all the bones in their bodies are about to fall apart.
"Don't you want to trick me?"
Seeing that Liu Deng just smiled and said nothing, Fu Sheng even dropped the spoon in his hand.
After all, in the eyes of the old man, this matter is too big. For countless years, the court has prayed to Shennong every year, praying for the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people in the coming year, but Liu Deng, this kid, actually said today that he has cultivated new grains!
You know, no matter what the output of this thing is, the emergence of any new food crop is a great thing for the people of the world, because they have another thing to eat.
The total amount of food under the sun has increased again. Naturally, it can also give those people living at the bottom of society a breather.
"It's getting late today, why don't we invite the three elders to stay in my palace, and we can talk about whatever we have to do tomorrow morning?"
Seeing that the three old men were losing their spirits, Liu Deng said with a smile.
"There is some truth in what the boy said, but we are not here today because of this matter, we are here for this!"
After the three of them looked at each other, Fu Sheng took out an oil paper bag from his arms.
