Li Chong glanced at Wu Diao Si with contempt and said, "You are so timid, why do you still insist on picking it up?"
"I...I..." Wu Diao Si's face turned red when Li Chong attacked him.
Li Zhao ignored them and took Xiaoqing and Xiaohong to pick up the bamboo basket. He didn't get too close, as he was afraid it was a real snake and had to make sure.
But, most likely it's not a snake.
As the saying goes: On March 3rd, snakes emerge from the mountains; on September 9th, snakes enter the earth.
Snakes also need to hibernate.
"Bucket!" Li Zhao shouted, and Xiao Qing immediately handed the bucket over.
Li Zhao unscrewed the piston at the bottom of the bamboo basket, and there was a popping sound in the bucket.
Wu Diao Si was a little afraid to get close, but he couldn't help but stretched his neck to take a peek, and found golden snake-like things twisting in the barrel.
In addition to these, there were one or two small fish, crabs, and lobsters, but the fish were all dead.
Li Zhaodao: "It's really good!"
In his previous life, he followed his father to put these bamboo baskets, and harvesting one or two eels was already very good.
However, Li Zhao had four or five lines in it, all of which filled up the space.
The key point is that this eel is very thick and very big, and it is absolutely the best.
Li Zhaowan drooled and said: "Quick, quick, put them all away, be careful."
"Yes!" Li Chong immediately took You Wangwei into action.
When all the bamboo baskets were collected, Li Zhao's eyes were shining.
He has lost weight these days and has not had a good meal. Today is the time to get some food to go with the wine.
“Since pig manure can be used to raise fish, can eels and loaches also be raised?”
Although this thing likes to burrow, it can also be lured out.
More importantly, not many people eat this kind of food now, mainly because it has not been developed yet.
If Li Zhaoruo is developed, it will be another hot industry chain that makes money.
"Forget it, let's talk about it next summer. Let's go back tonight and get some food and drinks!"
Today's harvest was far beyond Li Zhao's expectations.
The bamboo baskets and tubes Qian Dagou made for him were very useful, and he harvested hundreds of eels.
If this was sold in later generations, it would be a huge sum of money.
The older and wilder it is, the more expensive it will be.
"Your Highness!" Li Qingwei stood at the door of the kitchen, with a smile on his chubby face and said, "You tell me, I'll do it."
"Get out!" Li Zhao kicked him away: "You think I don't know, and you want to steal your master again?"
"Hehe..." Li Qingwei didn't object. He was the royal chef of the palace, and his relationship with Li Zhao was that of master and apprentice.
Both of them steal each other's lessons.
But overall, each has its own pros and cons.
Li Qingwei mastered the court craftsmanship of this era, focusing on nutrition, good looks, and luxury, but Li Zhao's is different. His style is more post-era and has very distinctive characteristics.
Therefore, Li Zhao's path can also quickly open up the market.
"Help me deal with the eels!"
While Li Zhao and Li Qingwei were handling the eel, people were already crowding around the kitchen.
"I heard that the prince is making delicious food again?"
"My lord, what is this?"
"My lord, can we have a taste?"
Li Zhao rolled his eyes speechlessly. Are all these people born in the year of cats?
As soon as I entered the kitchen, everyone came to the door.
When Li Zhao and Li Qingwei took care of things, there were pairs of curious eyes all around the Youwang Mansion camp.
"Xue Jingwen, if you don't go to the market to open a shop, why are you joining in the fun here?" Li Zhao scolded speechlessly.
"Hey, Your Majesty, I have a man watching over there, so it won't be a problem." Xue Jingwen licked his lips and looked at the kitchen on tiptoes.
Who in the entire Wu Kingdom doesn’t know that King You Li Zhao is also a glutton.
He alone accounts for several of the top ten delicacies on the Dragon Food List.
No one would doubt Li Zhao's cooking skills.
Therefore, they all wanted to come over to see the excitement and maybe even get something to eat.
"Do you want to know what kind of delicacy this is?"
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.
"Aphrodisiac!"
"hiss--"
Hearing that this thing can aphrodisiac, the atmosphere became more lively.
There was hope in their eyes.
Li Zhao ignored them. Although medical books said it could aphrodisiac, Li Zhao was not sure whether it would work.
But everything needs a gimmick.
Now that we have the idea of starting this business next year, it seems like a good choice to prepare and warm up early now.
The most important thing when making eel is to remove the fishy smell.
This thing is fundamentally different from snake meat. Li Zhao has eaten snake meat, but he prefers eel meat.
Eel is a common freshwater fish, and the most common way to eat it in the market is braised eel.
The eel meat is very tender and rich in protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements.
At the same time, it also has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and moisturizing, and strengthening muscles and bones.
Of course, there are more ways to do it.
In addition to braised, it can be stir-fried, souped, or steamed.
Today, Li Zhao mainly makes braised rice.
Braised in soy sauce, it is a must-have whether it is eaten with wine or with rice.
Li Qingwei was responsible for helping Li Zhao, and he also stole teachers from him.
The large pot was already burning red, and it made a crackling sound after adding oil.
Just cut the eel into about three to four centimeters long, and Li Zhao put all the prepared garlic cubes into it.
As the oil heats up and stir-fries, a fragrance escapes.
When the garlic grains turn golden brown, add chopped green onion and ginger slices, and continue to stir-fry to bring out the aroma of these ingredients.
"Wow--"
"Your Highness, has this been practiced before?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If the prince doesn't have any skills, how can he make delicious delicacies like crayfish and bullfrog?"
Few people question Li Zhao's cooking skills.
The Dragon Food List is no joke, this is something that gourmets have always recognized, and it does not contain a trace of water.
"smell good!"
"I almost want to swallow my saliva!"
"Quick, quick, go buy some food first!"
A bunch of people are very resourceful.
They knew that even if Li Zhao was willing to reward him, it might not be enough.
If Li Zhao eats some side dishes and drinks here, everyone will only be greedy.
The best way is to prepare some for yourself, so that you won't be criticized when you go to eat.
Pfft——
When Li Zhao poured the eel into the pot and stir-fried it, he added an appropriate amount of rice wine, sugar, and salt to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma.
After stir-frying, add an appropriate amount of water, and the firewood in the stove will begin to turn to a low heat. You only need to wait for a while to cover the pot.
Finally, reduce the juice over high heat, wait until the soup becomes thick, add some auxiliary ingredients and it is ready to serve.
When the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma went straight to Li Zhao's Tianling lid.
The fragrance wafted out, and there was already a sound of exclamation and lamentation outside.
When Li Zhao placed a small stove on the table, the eel in the casserole turned golden brown.
Place one or two slices of coriander on top, and the aroma will be overwhelming.
Gulu gulu——
In the pot, the golden soup gurgled and the fragrance filled the air, making everyone a little intoxicated.
Li Bin and Li Chong couldn't help but quietly swallowed their saliva.
Needless to say, the onlookers were all on tiptoe, eager to get there now.
"As expected of King You!"
"Just the smell makes me confused."
"very hungry."
