"...I will definitely do my best to stop Liu Liangzuo!"
Sun Chuanting didn't know what the prince meant by "very good", so he could only accept it first and then slowly figure out the holy meaning.
"Ai Qing commanded the three armies to fight hard all night, can you use the food?"
There were only tens of thousands of people working for Lao Zhu's family for one night, and they were sent away without saying anything. It was really a bit unkind.
"Your Highness, I have not used it yet!"
Sun Chuanting had been hungry for a long time, and he was waiting to find a stall in the inner city after leaving the palace to eat some sesame seed cakes or something to satisfy his cravings.
"That's perfect! If you love me, please have dinner with me!"
So Yaoji decided to use Lao Suntou as his first cute guinea pig to try his own secret dish.
Originally, I would have porridge with pickles in the morning, but I don’t have much appetite for a big meal, so something like preserved egg and lean meat porridge is also a good choice.
But from last night to this morning, first the busy work in the rear residence, and then the rebellion outside the city, it took a lot of energy and physical strength. Both the monarch and his ministers needed to replenish their nutrition in time, at least to fill their stomachs.
"I obey the decree!"
Based on the experience of these days, it is speculated that the food the prince eats comes from the fairy world more or less. Although the ingredients and ingredients are very similar to ordinary dishes, the final taste is quite different.
Sun Chuanting believed that even a small dish might contain mysteries and secrets, so he must not underestimate it, because this was a treat for the prince who had returned from a study tour in the fairy world.
"When you enter the court, send someone to check around the residence to see if anyone is awake. Anyone who plans to have a meal can inform you in advance. The meal will be served in about half an hour!"
"Slave, please send someone here!"
Yang Jinchao was also hungry for most of the night. If the prince did not eat, he would never dare to eat first. As long as the prince said he wanted to eat, then they, the servants, would have hope. When the prince's family finished the royal meal, they, the chamberlains and maids, Then you can start eating.
"Guoyuan, how is the research conducted by the imperial chefs going?"
Yaoji attaches great importance to this dish or rice, because he will use it to open a shop to earn money in the future. One bowl will earn five copper coins, and one million bowls will be five million copper coins, equivalent to five thousand taels of silver.
It’s not much, but it’s not much. It’s enough for me to use as pocket money. If my younger siblings get married or something, I can also use it to make up for things like that. Fortunately, I don’t have many direct younger siblings. Otherwise, it’s really not enough points.
"Your Highness, I dare to think that the food prepared by the royal chefs is five times similar to the noodles that your Highness learned from the fairy world."
After the arrival of the pengcao, Zhang Guoyuan, who was in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, started asking the imperial chefs to bake the pengcao yesterday. For this purpose, a noodle soup research group was set up, consisting of three imperial chefs who were best at making noodle soup.
Yesterday afternoon, they followed the method of making noodle soup written by the prince and started kneading the dough with Peng Hui. There was also an assistant who was responsible for recording. They wrote down each step, the ingredients used, and the dosage for summary. Lessons learned.
Each chef will make it at least three times, each time making two different amounts of noodles, and the total chef will make six types of soup noodles with similar tastes.
Then, based on the texture of the noodle soup and the degree of elasticity of the noodles, everyone is asked to choose the most suitable one, which is the noodle soup that is closest to what the prince said.
Zhang Guoyuan did not dare to speak too highly. The cooking skills of the royal chefs were indeed very high, but the prince's mastery of the fairyland dishes after returning from the fairy world was also outstanding. Many of the royal chefs said they had never heard of the recipes and could only try them first. Give it a try.
"Oh! I feel relieved after hearing what you said. The beef soup should be ready, right?"
"It's cooked. The beef soup has been simmering from yesterday afternoon to this morning. It is supervised by a dedicated person and has never been turned off!"
"That's good, let's have a bowl of soup first, oh no, two bowls, let Sun Aiqing have a taste too!"
"yes!"
People are like iron, and rice is like steel. It’s so hot outside, but you have to eat what you deserve in the imperial city.
What's more, this is the most exciting food I have made since entering the Great Dynasty.
Because this is the most famous, if the imperial chefs can learn to be 70% similar, it will be a great success.
The cooks quickly set up chopping boards in front of the East Palace and started to light a fire. Some were making noodles and some were preparing kitchen utensils.
A certain prince was very careful. As long as the weather was fine, he had to eat in front of his eyes so that he could feel at ease.
Which cook made the dish, what ingredients were used, and whose hands passed through it, will have relevant records, and if anything goes wrong, they will be traced to the end.
Although there are many people waiting to eat, there are only six cooks making soup noodles, and three of them are just starting out and not touching the ingredients from beginning to end. They are also afraid that they will be cheated by their colleagues.
"Hoo~!"
Yao Ji picked up the small bowl and first looked at the color of the beef soup. It was just a light red copper color. The specific standard of golden yellow was almost uninteresting, but as long as the taste was not too different, no one knew what the authentic version looked like. .
After blowing on the hot air, Yaoji tasted the soup with the tip of his tongue. He felt that it was not too hot and was acceptable, so he took a sip and immediately felt a rich meaty aroma filling his mouth and nose, which was particularly refreshing and strong. The desire to swallow arises spontaneously.
The saltiness of the soup is controlled by the royal chefs just right. If you can drink such a big bowl of hot beef soup in winter, no matter men, women, old or young, your whole body will be warm, and you can withstand the severe cold outside for a long time.
Pick up a piece of beef in the bowl and taste it slowly. The meat is neither tender nor old, and it is exactly where the tendons are. It looks like the layers are clear, and the soft tendons are bright and clear. It tastes quite chewy, fragrant and elastic, not unlike The beef was so flabby that it was cooked to pieces.
The imperial chefs also have some skills, and they are not wasting their titles. They just don’t know what the noodles are made of. Lanzhou Beef Ramen, the beef is just an embellishment, and the ramen is the focus. If the noodles are not delicious, no matter how well-cooked the beef is, it will be useless. pull.
"Sniff sniff...Brother Emperor! It smells so good~!"
Zhu Cijiong, a snack food lover, heard that there was delicious food. He didn't even sleep in. He immediately got dressed and rushed to the scene of the incident.
This guy's eyes were still groggy, but with his eyes closed and his little nose pointed out, he smelled the aroma of beef soup like a dog, and he became energetic.
The waiter immediately found a small chair. Zhu Cijiong sat down and stretched his neck, looking longingly at the big pot where the meat was cooked.
Yaoji could tell from the look in his eyes that this guy definitely wasn't here to eat noodles, just meat.
"Only soup?"
Zhu Cijiong simply chose to ignore the two pieces of beef in the bowl. In his opinion, such a small amount of meat was not enough to satisfy his craving.
"Appetizing soup! The noodles will be ready in a while!"
It’s hard to say whether you’ll be full with the noodles, but you’ll definitely be full with the soup, because you can add water to the soup at any time!
"Oh! Then my brother used it first! Huh? May I ask who this is..."
Only then did Zhu Cijiong realize that there was a big living person sitting next to the emperor's brother. Just now he was standing next to the emperor's brother. He thought it was a chamberlain, so he ignored it and went behind the two pieces of beef.
"Sun Chuanting! Sun Shaobao!"
Lao Suntou was extremely embarrassed, so Yaoji directly introduced himself to him.
This guy probably only cares about himself and the dining table, and everyone else here belongs to the "idler" in his mind.
"Oh! I am so polite!"
Zhu Cijiong quickly stood up and saluted. He had heard of Sun Chuanting's name, but what he did specifically was not important to him...
"Your Highness, your Majesty! I don't dare!"
Sun Chuanting hurriedly returned the gift. This was the emperor's legitimate son and the younger brother of His Royal Highness. It was very necessary to be cautious.
"No need to be polite, please sit down and eat quickly, otherwise the soup will become cold and taste bad!"
Yaoji never expected his younger brother to learn anything useful from Lao Suntou.
"Oh~! Good!"
Zhu Cijiong believed that all the emperor's instructions on meals were correct and must be strictly followed.
He's not big, but he has a big appetite. A bowl of broth was quickly wiped out by this guy.
"...Brother Emperor, can you have another bowl?"
After stretching his neck and staring for a long time, Zhu Cijiong finally said what he wanted to say most.
"The noodles are almost ready, just wait!"
I am eating noodles with Lao Suntou, but it would be better for you to eat all the meat. How embarrassing will it be for us?
"Oh~!"
After being declined by the imperial brother, Zhu Cijiong stopped talking.
Then I sat there and started to think about it: the barbecue is delicious, the braised pork rice is delicious, the fish-flavored shredded pork is delicious, and I don’t know if this noodle is delicious. Brother Huang waited so patiently, so the taste should not be much different. If it doesn't taste good, then just eat meat and drink soup. If it tastes good, then eat more...
"Oh? Does it smell so good?"
Yaoji suddenly smelled a very special aroma, which was the original flavor of ramen.
"According to His Highness, this is noodle soup and the broth is cooked in two pots!"
Zhang Guoyuan specifically explained that if he didn't follow the recipe provided by the prince, he wouldn't be even 50% sure that it would be similar.
"Oh! That's it! Get a bowl!"
Yaoji felt that he had misunderstood his subordinates. He said he wanted to drink broth before, but Zhang Guoyuan brought stew soup, which was a mistake.
In fact, the noodle soup of ramen needs to be simmered separately. It not only contains beef, beef bones, and beef liver, but also a chicken. It is not an exaggeration to call it beef and chicken soup.
Since the pot for cooking noodle soup was in Shangshanjian, it was placed in a movable pot on a trolley, and some had to be scooped out when moving it, which delayed some time, so Yaoji did not smell the aroma in advance.
"...Well, that's what it smells like!"
After tasting it again, Yaoji felt relieved. This was the legendary beef ramen soup. There might be a slight difference in taste, but it was generally correct. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was 70% similar.
"It tastes so good? Brother Emperor, can you give me a bowl?"
Zhu Cijiong's eyes widened, and when he saw the emperor brother, he made a positive comment, which means that this soup may be better than beef soup.
Yaoji waved his hand and asked the waiter to give each of Lao Suntou and the snack food a small bowl. If they drank too much, they would have to drink water.
After tasting it, both of them were full of praise for this bowl of fragrant soup, which can be called an unprecedented masterpiece.
"Brother Imperial~! It smells so good!"
It was like a crisp oriole blasting in his ears, and when Yaoji heard it, he knew that Princess Changping was here.
The one-armed god got up lazily, washed himself, put on his clothes, and combed his hair again before arriving belatedly.
But just like her brother, she got extremely excited when she smelled the fragrance, and the previous sleepiness was gone.
This kind of fragrance was something Princess Changping had never smelled before, so it aroused her appetite and curiosity.
Yaoji waved his hand and asked the waiter to open a separate table for the foodie brother and sister, so as not to grunt like pigs while eating...
Picking up a light yellow silk handkerchief and studying it, it is a map of the Jifu area. The embroiderer sewed it according to Yaoji's sketch. Cities, passes, ports, rivers, mountains and rivers are all available. This is better than the map of this era. The map is more in line with the look and feel of a certain prince.
If the Shenshu Battalion wants to go north to exit the border, and Lu Jiude's Yongwei Battalion cannot catch up, it will really be impossible to stop them. This matter cannot be forced.
If Liu Liangzuo's eastward march was fast enough, he could board the ship and go to sea before the vassal who sent the order arrived in Dagu.
The only thing that can be guaranteed to eat at the moment is the group of people in the outer city who are burning, killing and looting.
Shenshu camp is full of eight thousand people, but the actual number is only about five thousand. If three thousand people escape outside the pass, it is equivalent to two people with braids. It is not impossible to accept it. Anyway, you have to accept it or not.
Most of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion are infantry, and the total number of cavalry is only about 2,000 at most. Excluding those who are missing, hidden, wounded, dead, and shot, a life of 500 is not bad.
Most of the infantry were in the outer city. After daybreak, they found that they were trapped in the urn. It was too late. It was impossible to break out of the encirclement because there was no way to go. If they left the city, they would be flanked by the Qin soldiers and the Yongwei camp. .
Zhou Yuji attacks from the inner city. If the battle goes well, the battle can be ended before the sun sets today. If there is a setback, the rebels entrenched in the outer city must be annihilated by tomorrow night at the latest.
A certain prince didn't want these scourges of common people to live for one more day, but there was a big difference between his own ideas and the actual work. It was the same as making beef ramen. Even if he did it himself, the final product would be different from the settings. There will also be differences.
Now is a special period, so keep everything simple and reward a few general soldiers with beef ramen.
This thing doesn't look very impressive, but I believe they will eat one bowl and think twice...
Yaoji and Lao Suntou discussed the situation of the battle in front of everyone, and they kept talking about it, but if others didn't watch closely, they would never be able to match "here" with "there" because they didn't know what they meant. where is it.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The tall and round chef began to pull the noodles. Since the noodles were mixed with fluffy ash, the noodles would not break even if they were stretched as long as two arms. Chang Ping and Zhu Cijiong were amazed and astonished.
Penghui contains toxic substances such as lead and arsenic, which are not good for the human body if consumed for a long time. Yaoji asked the imperial chefs to add the minimum amount that can stretch the noodles when making noodles, so as not to eat themselves to death.
"Gulu~!"
The stomachs of the two snack lovers began to growl, and the owner was eager to see the noodles that had just been cooked. They were already conquered by the taste of the soup and were waiting to devour them.
After a few excruciating minutes, the first bowl of beef ramen from Dazhanchao was officially served. In line with the principle of ladies first, Changping had the honor to pay first.
Yaoji stood up and took a look. The five elements of ramen, namely one clear, two white, three red, four green and five yellow, were basically present.
In terms of appearance alone, it is very good. As for the taste, the princess who stuffed it into her mouth without saying a word has already explained the problem.
Sun Chuanting had never eaten such delicious soup noodles. The noodles were elastic, the soup was fragrant, and the beef was chewy. After staying up for most of the night, he was really hungry. He kept swinging his chopsticks and actually ate three bowls in a row.
Yaoji looked at Zhu Cijiong, who was already too strong to walk, and couldn't help but smile: "Is the emperor planning to lean on the rockery this morning?"
