Some princes and princesses couldn't help but laugh.
Isn't King You afraid that he has lost his mind and gone crazy?
How dare he?
The most delicious ingredient?
Where do you place the food in Wu Kingdom?
If such ugly and unattractive ingredients can become delicacies in the world, where would you put them on the "Dragon Food List"?
Doesn't he know that it's not that his clear noodle soup is delicious, but that his father is obsessed with clear noodle soup?
Everyone shook their heads, Li Zhao took in everyone's expressions and did not argue.
"Okay! I would like to take a look, how are your cooking skills over the years?" Emperor Wu's voice almost came out from between his teeth.
He has decided to let him go to the fief after the family banquet is over.
…
Cheng'en Hall.
The delicacies of the princesses are nothing more than pastries, nothing new, they just follow the food superintendent's style.
Not to mention Emperor Wu, even the princesses themselves were not interested.
Some people even bumped into the dishes, which was very embarrassing.
The dishes of the princes have some regional characteristics.
The pasta served by the eldest prince looked very appetizing, and it was plentiful and filling, which fit his image of a military man. However, for the people in the palace who were well-dressed and well-fed, it was a bit unappealing.
Then, all the princes performed their unique skills.
Among them, the food of the fourth prince and the sixth prince was very good, which attracted everyone's praise, and Emperor Wu also took two more bites.
Finally, there was the prince. What the prince brought out was a small copper pot, which was a bit like the prototype of the hot pot in the post-era.
Li Zhao naturally knew that, if Li Zhao had not traveled through time, this little hotpot would indeed have won.
The taste and texture can be adjusted according to your own preferences. Even Emperor Wu couldn't help but laugh, finding it very interesting.
…
Li Zhao didn't hesitate and put on his apron.
It was not big news that the prince of the dynasty personally cooked delicious food, but the ingredients he chose were of the worst varieties, which caused quite a bit of controversy.
“You actually chose toad (bullfrog) and reptile (crayfish)?”
"Ninth brother is becoming more and more out of tune."
"Could it be that he thinks he is better than the imperial chef?"
Li Zhao was unmoved and asked the people to do the work. The lobster was very big, more than half a foot long.
A big wooden basin was brought in, and the water in the pot was boiling. Li Zhao directed it in an orderly manner.
"Sprinkle salt!"
Buckets of hot water were poured into the tub, scalding all the lobsters to death.
"Will he do it or not?"
"You sprinkled the salt first? Do you want us to eat it directly?"
"Isn't this too dirty?"
The princes murmured, their faces ugly, revealing their disgust.
Li Zhao ignored it and asked everyone to start scrubbing.
"What...what is this for?"
The prince and princes were all confused as to why they started to fight.
"You only need the shrimp tails in this pot. In addition, remove all the shells from the tails." Li Zhao ordered.
"yes!"
"Remove the head of this basin, and the two sides must be scrubbed clean, and then washed at least three times."
"yes!"
"The entire head of this basin should be retained, but it must be brushed carefully and washed three times."
"yes!"
Why are the same ingredients treated in different ways?
Even Emperor Wu showed doubts.
Li Zhao started to deal with the fat in the eyes of everyone's curiosity and suspicion.
After cleaning the pot, Li Zhao put the cut fat meat into the pot and began to stir-fry. The sizzling oil began to appear, and the pot was filled with fragrance.
The fried fat meat is scooped out, and the rest is the lard from the fried fat meat.
Li Zhao turned the knife in his hand, causing all the princes to exclaim in surprise.
Bang bang bang——
Li Zhao's hand holding the handle of the knife suddenly slapped down with a rhythmic sound, and the tender white garlic seeds turned into minced garlic.
All viewers could not help but think of one word at the same time: pleasing to the eye!
Emperor Wu's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at the imperial chef and said, "How?"
The imperial chef praised: "His Royal Highness You Wang is not far behind even if he is competing with a first-grade imperial chef. The simpler things are, the harder they are to do, especially with knife skills!"
"The Ninth Prince slapped it seemingly casually, but didn't you notice? The garlic just turned into minced garlic, but it didn't splash out."
"Those who are often in the kitchen will understand that it is very difficult to control this force."
Li Zhao immediately turned around and poured a large amount of minced garlic into the pot.
Tsk-
The aroma of the stir-fried garlic came out immediately. Li Zhao poured the cleaned lobster into it and stir-fried.
Since there was no beer, Li Zhao chose the rice wine from the palace.
Li Zhao then started cooking the second type of crayfish. As he became more and more proficient, even Emperor Wu's stomach began to growl.
The spicy crayfish are all made from the finest shrimp tail meat, which is brought to a boil over high heat and then simmered over low heat.
The last dish is stir-fried bullfrog with perilla, which is also Li Zhao's specialty.
The bullfrog that has been fried to golden brown has plump meat and golden soup. The tray is placed on the small stove and the gurgling begins to bubble.
The soup is sloshing inside, and the red and yellow embellishments make this dish very eye-catching and eye-catching.
In just a moment, he caught everyone's attention.
After smelling the smell, the princes and princesses, including Emperor Wu, all swallowed their saliva and looked straight at the plate of stir-fried bullfrog with perilla in front of them.
Is this really what that ugly thing did?
The visual impact is simply fatal to Wu people who have not yet mastered their food.
As a time traveler, Li Zhao's advantages are undoubtedly evident.
This is a huge pot, the pot is divided into grids, and it is bright red at a glance.
The scent stimulates their olfactory nerves.
In the dividing grid, bright red lobsters of almost the same size are neatly placed.
This is obviously the same ingredient, but it seems to be prepared in several different ways.
Li Zhao took advantage of the opportunity and made steamed, brine, dry pot, garlic, braised, spicy, oil braised, stir-fried, and salt-baked flavors.
The presentation of the lobster inside is also very particular, with the soup in the middle and a bowl of white noodles.
The visual effects alone instantly overshadowed all the dishes present.
Gulu!
There was only the sound of swallowing in Cheng'en Hall.
"Please taste it!" Li Zhao said, and there were a lot of swallowing sounds and movements.
The second prince glanced at the prince, saw him nodding and mustered up the courage to pick up a piece of bullfrog leg meat.
He was ready to vomit and put the piece of bullfrog leg meat into his mouth as if rushing to the execution ground.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the second prince's eyes widened with an extremely exaggerated expression.
The taste buds felt like they were exploding, which made the second prince, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, find it unbelievable.
The meat of bullfrog legs is chewy and spicy, but also has the sweetness of vegetables. Especially after putting it in your mouth, it tastes no worse than other meats. After one bite, you will be extremely satisfied and happy!
It’s simply delicious…
