    ?

    In fact, Li Shimin's heart is full of expectations, and he also hopes to eat more delicious food.  Because of the wine in the house, he drank it every day, nothing unusual.  The problem is that he has never tasted such a delicious dish.

    With a smile on his face, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Erlang, let's go to Cai. At the banquet tonight, we will taste the dishes first. As for the drinking, you can do it yourself."

    "yes!"

    Du Qi responded and gave orders immediately.

    Following Du Qi's arrangement, the third dish was presented.

    This dish is stewed elbow.

    For stewed pork knuckles, the raw material needed is pork knuckles.  Although there is pork in this era, it is not very popular.  Because for the powerful, pork has a smell of mutton, which is very different from the taste of mutton and beef.

    After all, the suckling pigs in this era have never been castrated, so when they grow up, they all have a smell. For ordinary people, they can eat some, but for the rich and powerful, apart from being used for sacrifices  In addition, they almost seldom eat, mainly mutton and beef that died of illness due to various reasons.

    However, Du Qi still chose pork knuckles. Even so, when the pork knuckles were blanched, Du Qi also used ginger, pepper, green onions, etc. to remove the miscellaneous smell, minimizing the smell on the pork knuckles.

    When simmering, it is supplemented with condiments such as honey, tangerine peel, and fragrant leaves, so that the pork knuckles have a little miscellaneous taste again.

    This stewing alone took nearly an hour and a half, making the whole pork knuckle extremely soft and sticky, especially after adding honey and caramel, the whole pork knuckle was no longer greasy, but very sticky  is comfortable.

    Compared with beef and mutton, once the fishy smell is removed from the pork, it brings a fat but not greasy taste, which cannot be replaced by any meat quality. When the waiter comes in, it will be very different.

    But in total, there are only four pork knuckles.

    In front of Li Shimin was a complete pork knuckle, and the remaining three pork knuckles had already been distributed by Liu Jian's knife skills when they were fished out. In front of everyone, it was just a small portion.

    After the pork knuckles were placed in front of everyone, Du Qi introduced: "Masters, this third dish is called stewed knuckles. In front of His Highness, there is a complete stewed knuckles. Because the ingredients are limited, in front of you, everyone  Only a part. Uncles, please!"

    As soon as he waved his hand, everyone moved their chopsticks.

    Originally, the smell permeated, and it was already unbearable.

    Especially after the foreshadowing of the first two dishes, everyone is looking forward to it, because there are not many, and it is divided into nearly fifty, so there are not many in front of one person, so these few mouthfuls, eat in three or two  It's over.

    Li Shimin also ate a piece, and when a piece of fat but not greasy elbow skin entered his mouth, it melted in the mouth, and it was extremely soft and sticky.  After such a taste permeated through the taste buds, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

    "Wonderful, really wonderful!"

    Li Shimin nodded one after another, but he only took two bites, and he suddenly saw everyone in the Qin Palace below, all of them looked at him in unison, because everyone didn't have much, and they all looked at Li Shimin after eating in two or three.

    This time, Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable.

    Li Shimin didn't continue eating. He looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, what kind of ingredients are these pork knuckles made from? It doesn't look like beef or mutton."

    Du Qi said: "It is taken from pork, and it is the hoof of the pig's thigh."

    pork?

    Li Shimin was very surprised when he heard it, and said seriously: "Pork, can it be delicious like this?"

    In the lobby, the pot also exploded.

    All of them had surprised expressions on their faces, because everyone present knew that the taste of pork was not very good, but they did not expect that the stewed pork knuckle would taste so delicious.

    It's simply delicious.

    Du Qi looked at the people who were discussing one by one, and said: "The stewed pork knuckle has naturally undergone multiple treatments, so it has such a taste. If you like to eat it, you are welcome to eat in the boy's restaurant in the future.  "

    Li Shimin wanted to laugh when he heard that.

    Du Qi, this kid, really sees the needle, and never misses the opportunity to promote it at any time.

    Li Shimin looked at the expectant expressions of each one, and asked, "Erlang, how many dishes are there after this?"

    Du Qi replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are still nine dishes."

    Li Shimin said: "Everyone is getting impatient, so there is no need to serve each dish one by one, let the back kitchen arrange it, and all the remaining dishes will be served as soon as they are ready.??There is no need to waste time.  "

    "yes!"

    Du Qi got up, went to the back kitchen in person, and made some arrangements.

    Liu Jian would have to be busy if he wanted to send all of them, but that's good too, and he doesn't have to send them one by one.

    After Du Qi returned to the hall, he followed closely and saw that the attendants had entered in a file.

    The next dishes served in the lobby are braised pork with soybeans, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, boiled chicken, stewed beef, steamed eggs with minced meat, mapo tofu, braised goose, and old duck soup. A total of nine dishes were served one by one.  .

    At the beginning, Du Qi explained.

    But in the end, he didn't explain at all, because no one listened to what he said, and everyone worked hard, eating very happily.  No one is drinking, they are all eating food quickly.

    After a long time, there was a sudden hiccup in the hall.

    It was Cheng Yaojin who ate his fill first, and his strong body leaned back slightly, with a satisfied expression, and said: "Your Highness, today's banquet is really very comfortable. I will not eat it since I was a child.  Da, I have never tasted such a delicious dish. Absolutely! Du Erlang's dishes are truly amazing."

    Although Changsun Wuji said that he had some complaints about Du Qi, he finished eating. Although he had not finished eating many dishes in front of him, he really couldn't finish them.

    The rest of the people spoke one after another.

    When they looked at Du Qishi one by one, they wished that Du Qi was his son.

    Many people even complimented Du Ruhui.

    Facing everyone's congratulations, Du Ruhui was extremely humble on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely happy.  Although Du Qi was thinking about it in the back kitchen, the effect was simply too good.

    Li Shimin is also fed up now.  He suddenly said: "Erlang, have all the dishes been served here?"

    Du Qi said: "Your Highness, there are still some left. After all, the princess and others have never attended the banquet. So when the back kitchen is busy, I also prepared some more."

    "Not bad!"

    Li Shimin had a look of approval on his face.

    Du Qi is a kid who knows how to handle things.

    Du Qi changed the subject and continued: "In addition, there are actually some dishes that are soft and delicious, suitable for the elderly. These dishes are more exquisite, and they are specially prepared for His Highness to be sent into the palace.  "

    As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and there was no more sound.

    Everyone looked at Du Qi.

    The eyes are very surprised.

    Du Qi, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, can figure out such delicious food, and he is still a monster.  If you put aside other things and just talk about the skill of cooking, there is no one who can match Du Qi throughout the thousand-year history.

    However, what makes Du Qi evil is that before doing things, he has already taken into account the dean Sun Wugou and other Li Shimin's family members, and has already arranged them properly. This is Du Qi's thoroughness in his actions.

    This is no longer limited to chefs.

    Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that Du Qi's thoughts are meticulous.

    However, the most evil thing is that when Du Qi made this dish, he could also consider letting Li Shimin carry the food box into the palace and go to Li Yuan to please him.

    A skill of cooking has evolved into a struggle for the favor of the emperor, and into a struggle between the court and the political parties. Such a breakthrough shows that Du Qi is very proficient in this skill at a young age.

    Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "Your Highness once said that you should be like Du Erlang when you have a son. Today, the humble official finally understands."

    The rest of the people echoed.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
