Because Li Xian had demonstrated it before, all the ministers almost understood how to grill the meat.

Although their spices are not complete and the meat is not marinated, they still feel very novel about grilling meat by themselves.

The Yuan Dynasty was not the Zhenguan Dynasty. Although there were some officials from poor families in the court, more officials still had aristocratic family backgrounds. Because of this, many people have never touched Yang Chun Shui since childhood. Let alone cooking, I am afraid they have never even entered the kitchen. There are probably only some generals who have personally prepared food for themselves in the most difficult times. Unless they are in a near-desperate situation, they will also eat the food cooked by the cook.

It was very interesting for them to prepare food for themselves for the first time. Some of the generals may have a talent for cooking. If they are good at baking, they will show off their achievements everywhere. Even if they are asked by their colleagues, they will not feel inappropriate, but will help with a cheerful expression.

As for the civil servants, although they were a little confused, they soon discovered the fun. In particular, some cooks brought them vegetables. After discovering that vegetables can also be used for roasting, they found it even more interesting.

Li Zhi has been the emperor for many years, and he really knows how to make the scene more lively.

Following his order, a group of soldiers entered the venue carrying a jar of wine, and said while saying: "Your Majesty has an order, you can drink as much as you like today."

If there's anything missing besides barbecue, it's probably wine. Now that the wine has been replenished, the atmosphere in the venue becomes even more lively. From time to time, someone holds a cup and salutes the saint.

Li Xian, who was grilling skewers, couldn't help curling his lips when he saw this scene.

There has been a big disaster this year. Although there is still enough food, we can still use it to make wine. However, his winery is blatantly a Donggong industry. At a time like this, how can he not lead by example and respond to the ban on brewing?

Therefore, the wines issued by the emperor were all stored in the winery's cellars, ready to be used to deceive Mengzi when they were old enough.

As for money...how could the emperor mention the money when he was taking wine from the prince's property?

After more than a dozen skewers of mutton were grilled, half of them were handed to Jiang Hao and sent to the emperor's side. The other half was shared equally with Li Xian.

After eating a bunch of mutton, Li Xian's eyes gleamed. After quickly finishing the rest, he walked over happily and said, "Brother, your brother already knows how to use this thing. Why don't you give it to me?" Brother, how about you rest for a while?"

Knowing that he was interested in grilling skewers, Li Xian was naturally happy to leave it to him.

By the way, the bear paws in the kitchen at the back should be almost cooked.

This is the good stuff!

Li Zhi only wanted bear skin, but he didn't like bear paws very much, maybe because he ate too much.

In this way, Li Xian was naturally happy to keep one of his own.

After telling Li Xian the key points of kebabs again, he let go and left.

If Li Xian knows how to eat, he will definitely be able to cook it. Maybe he can’t grill the first and second skewers well, but after he masters the key, he will definitely be able to play the role of “barbecue master”.

Passing by the emperor's seat, Li Xian secretly placed a bottle of wine on his wine table, and Li Xian walked over expressionlessly.

Li Zhi is indeed trustworthy. At least on the surface, he really didn't drink. Even on occasions like today, he has been drinking tea. It would be unimaginable to eat barbecue without wine, especially for a drinker like Li Zhi.

Although I can't give him white wine, it would be interesting to drink less wine.

Li Zhi didn't expect that the prince actually prepared wine for him. Although he was surprised, a warm feeling made him very intoxicated. Compared with the previous admonishment for him to stop drinking, the prince's gift of wine now made his heart warmer.

Looking back at the prince, he smiled slightly and immediately ordered Jiang Hao to open the wine bottle for him.

In my previous life, as an ordinary person, I naturally didn't have the opportunity to eat bear's paws.

However, after some calculation, I probably know what to do.

Either braised or braised.

So with two bear paws, I made two ways to eat them.

The cook comes from the Eastern Palace, so he naturally knows how to cook.

When he came to the kitchen, he directed the cook to divide the two dishes into four portions. Taking the dishes with him, Li Xian went straight to the Chinese army's tent.

According to the rules, hunting in autumn is equivalent to marching, so women cannot be brought with them. Even the queen of heaven should not accompany him.

However, since the Queen of Heaven is here, the officials can only pretend that they cannot see her.

The Queen also knew what was right. Although she came with her, she simply did not attend the dinner party.

Inside the tent, the Queen of Heaven had taken off her armor and put on ordinary palace clothes.

When she heard the questioning voice of the female officer outside, she stood up and walked out while saying, "Don't be presumptuous. From now on, when the prince comes to visit me again, you must not stop him."

Hearing this voice, the female guards stepped back one after another. Li Xian rubbed his face, put on a smile and walked forward. As he walked, he said, "Mom, just wait. Why did you come out to greet me?"

The Queen reached out and patted Li Xian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I knew you wouldn't leave the Queen here. She is indeed a good and filial child. Come in."

Under the guidance of the Queen of Heaven, Li Xian walked into the camp.

Inside the tent, a table and two chairs had been set up. There was nothing on the table except cakes and tea.

It seemed that the Queen was really waiting for him to come over.

If her dove was let go today, although she wouldn't say anything, she would definitely be unhappy.

A woman's heart is so deep, who knows if she will hold a grudge?

With this thought in his mind, Li Xian waved his hand and ordered Li Yong to bring in all the dishes.

Opening the cover of the first dish, Li Xian smiled and said: "Mom, this bear's paw has never been said to be a rare good thing, so for this dish, I used the tonic recipe given by Kong Liangdi and marinated it. It’s made, I guess the taste won’t be too bad.”

A female official took out a pair of bright silver chopsticks from her arms and walked over to try the dishes, but the Queen of Heaven stopped her with her hand.

Waving her hand to signal her to leave, the Queen picked up a piece with her chopsticks without caring.

After eating it in one bite, she saw her brows furrowed.

Li Xian was stunned and quickly stretched out his chopsticks to taste a piece.

How can I put it...the taste is really hard to describe.

It was obviously suppressed with onions, ginger, garlic and various spices, but its fishy smell still didn't dissipate. After stewing for two hours, the meat seemed to fall apart, but it was still a bit thick.

how so?

When the braised one was brought up and I took a bite, it was still the same, even more chewy, with a beefy feel.

Damn it, is it the wrong method?

Seeing that the prince's face was a little ugly, the Queen smiled and consoled him: "Prince, good things are often not satisfactory. The bear paws you made are much better than the ones I ate for my mother. At least they are edible and the soup is The taste is also very good.”

Disillusioned again...

Looking at the bear meat on the plate, Li Xian couldn't laugh or cry.
