Chapter 513 Foodie

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Think about the flying sky in Mogao Grottoes, the graceful waist twisting by Lop Nur, and the various legends about Loulan.

    Li Zhi was in surprisingly good condition today. Caiyu cried and called two maids, and it took a few people to barely satisfy the prince.

    At this time, Li Zhi was holding the Persian Orchid in his arms and carefully inspecting her body. When he became emperor in the future, Anxi would be a springboard. Li Zhi wanted all the countries around Anxi to surrender to the feet of the Tang Dynasty.

    ¡°If I could live forever at the age of fifteen, the whole world would be at my feet.  Li Zhi wants to take a bite of that spicy food!  If we can¡¯t take America, how can we eat it?

    Li Zhi thought, and pinched the Persian Orchid hard. The squeeze caused the Persian Orchid to look at the prince in pain, but her eyes were still obsessed with it.

    On the second day at the Jin Palace, Li Zhi looked at a ready-made down jacket and carefully spread the down jacket with his hands, stroking every place.

    This body is for my mother, but I won¡¯t give it away now. I will give it away to my father when the one is ready.

    At this time, after folding the down jacket, Li Zhi watched Yun Xi busy at the side. Watching Yun Xi doing needlework was also a kind of enjoyment for Li Zhi.

    Seeing the pair of jade hands going back and forth with needle and thread, Li Zhi was almost obsessed with it.

    "Yun Xi, you look particularly good when you make clothes."

    Yun Xi bit off a piece of thread with her teeth and looked at His Royal Highness in puzzlement. Why did she look so good when making clothes?  Is there any difference between normal life and making clothes?

    Li Zhi looked at her with a confused look and said nothing. People in this era still don¡¯t know that working people are the most beautiful!

    Li Zhi packed up a down jacket for his mother and walked out of Yunxi's courtyard. As soon as he walked out, he saw Xinruo leading a little eunuch away.

    "Is it the father who is looking for me?"

    "In reply to Your Highness, Your Majesty and the Empress are waiting for Your Highness at the Li Zheng Hall!"

    At this time, what was the purpose of the emperor and his mother summoning him to the Lizheng Palace?

    Li Zhi couldn't guess it, but he had to rush there quickly. Li Zhi asked Xinruo to prepare a carriage and horses and rush to the palace.

    When he arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, Li Zhi saw from a distance that his father, the emperor, his mother, the queen, and his three imperial sisters were all inside. Among them, his father and Sizi were playing chess, and the other three people were watching from the side, looking happy.

    When Li Zhi walked in, Si Zi looked at his father helplessly, put away the chess pieces and prepared to rearrange them.

    "Okay, Sizi, it's no longer possible, your imperial brother is here."

    "Zhi'er has met his father and the queen."

    "Zhi'er, come here quickly and sit down with me."

    Li Zhi hurriedly walked over, looking at his father and mother, they called him here, what on earth was going on!

    "Father, the emperor, mother, asked Zhi'er to come to the Zhengdian Palace today. Do you have something to tell Zhi'er?"

    "There is nothing important. In about ten days, it will be New Year's Eve. My father and your mother have discussed that they would like to add some dishes to this year's New Year's Eve banquet."

    "Father, do you mean that the roast duck, garlic duck blood and duck blood vermicelli soup that the emperor presented a few days ago will also be included in the dishes at this New Year's Eve banquet?"

    "Zhi'er, your father means exactly this."

    "Then the emperor will have people prepare for it when he gets back today, and then buy back all the live ducks in Chang'an City."

    "Zhi'er, you don't have to worry about the duck. Your father has already sent someone to take care of it."

    "Then the emperor will transfer the cooks from Prince Jin's Palace to the Shangshi Bureau in the palace to help."

    "By the way, Zhi'er, are there any new dishes recently? Mother has been quite greedy recently."

    As Empress Changsun said, Li Zhi realized that not only his mother was looking at him, but his father and three sisters next to him were also looking at him eagerly!

    They are all foodies!  Li Zhi shouted depressedly.

    But this is not surprising. Although the Tang Dynasty royal family is very rich, and although the Tang Dynasty royal family can get everything they can get in this era, the problem is that the dishes in this era are actually very monotonous, so monotonous that it makes people feel scared.

    You know, in Chinese history, stir-fried vegetables were not invented until the Song Dynasty, and shabu-shabu was introduced from the northern nomads, and it was not nomads like the Huns and Turks, but Mongolia. In other words, shabu-shabu was very popular in later generations.  , it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it began to rise gradually.

    At this time, the staple food of the Tang Dynasty was pasta in the north and rice in the south, but there were very few dishes, and they were mainly boiled.

    Even if the royal family can be richer, the richness is actually limited, and there are only so many comings and goings.  And there are so many royal taboos.

    For example, pork cannot be served on the banquet, and dog meat cannot be served.If you can't eat it, even beef and mutton, you only eat meat and don't eat water and brains.  As for vegetables, well, had it not been for Zhang Qian¡¯s mission to the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty would not even have cucumbers and spinach at this time.

    You don¡¯t even have to think about peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes.

    Queen Changsun has been in the Tang Dynasty for six years. The most troublesome thing is the problem of food. Fortunately, she is in the royal family and is still the empress of the world. Otherwise, the food of the Tang Dynasty would really depress Queen Changsun to death.

    After so many years, only Li Zhi came to the Tang Dynasty, and he kept bringing surprises to Empress Changsun, such as maltose, such as the roast duck and duck blood a few days ago.

    At this time, Empress Changsun's gluttony was aroused. As for Li Shimin and the three princesses, they were naturally tired of boiled vegetables and boiled meat and wanted to change their taste.

    The roast duck is so delicious, so they naturally expect Li Zhi to bring more delicious food.

    Li Zhi looked around and felt like he was possessed by the God of Cookery. Why did everyone look at him like a female goblin looking at Tang Monk, and he almost drooled.

    "Mother, when Zhi'er was making roast duck, he asked the maid to collect a lot of duck fat."

    ¡°Duck fat?¡±

    Li Shimin asked strangely, why did he feel that this food was not delicious?

    "Brother, is duck fat delicious?"

    Hengshan also asked, licking his lips with his tongue.

    "Zhi'er, how much duck fat have you collected?"

    "About half a tank."

    "So much, what are you going to do with this duck fat?"

    Queen Changsun certainly knew that duck fat could be used as a frying oil, although in later generations, duck fat was a secondary use of fat, inferior to rapeseed oil and peanut oil.  But at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, duck fat was good, so there was no need to choose.

    Queen Changsun could not directly ask Li Zhi to use the duck fat for cooking and frying fruit twists. Naturally, she could only ask Li Zhi what to do with the duck fat.

    "Mother, Zhi'er tried to use this duck to fry chicken and pork a few days ago. It tastes good."

    "Zhi'er, the earthy smell of pork is so strong, can you eat it?"

    The royal family does not eat pork, not because of ethnic or religious reasons, but because of pig habits and the earthy smell of pork.

    ¡°Father, onions, ginger, and garlic can remove the earthy smell from pork, and can also remove the fishy smell from fish.¡±

    "Zhi'er, you greedy cat, have you been studying how to eat in Prince Jin's Mansion all day long?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
