I'm a marquis in Datang

Mushroom Chicken Soup prepared by Kai.

After the mushroom and chicken soup was placed in front of everyone, Du Qi introduced: "Although it is the beginning of April, in fact, the weather at night is still a bit chilly. On the way you have come hundreds of times, there was a cold wind, plus I still have to drink at night, so take a sip of chicken soup to warm your stomach first, and then it’s not too late to drink. This mushroom chicken soup, I can guarantee, is definitely different from the chicken soup you drink."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please!"

In the afternoon, he had already drank chicken soup. The taste of this chicken soup was very fresh, with dots of oil droplets on it. After drinking it in one sip, it was refreshing and refreshing, and it warmed his stomach. All extremely comfortable.

Changsun Wuji was displeased with Du Qi, but he still picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. When the spoonful of chicken soup entered his mouth, Changsun Wuji's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was filled with tears. A look of aftertaste emerges.

Fresh!

This taste is so fresh!

Changsun Wuji was also a person who drank chicken soup, but after all, it couldn't compare to the taste.

At this time, the sound of drinking soup kept coming out.Immediately afterwards, there were words of praise, one by one looked at Du Qishi, and kept admiring.

Cheng Yaojin's voice was loud, and he said in a low voice: "Du Erlang, your chicken soup is indeed a must. My family

The cook here is also very skilled, but he can't compare to your chicken soup. "

Du Qidao: "Uncle Cheng is absurd."

After a pause, Du Qi said: "This is just an appetizer, don't worry, uncle, there are more dishes to come."

Seeing that everyone drank the soup, Li Shimin picked up the wine bottle and said: "During this time, the people of the Qin Palace have endured great pressure, but we have survived. Especially this time to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, our Qin Palace came out He breathed a sigh of relief. For us, although life is relatively difficult, I hope that you can join me in overcoming difficulties and forging ahead."

"Please!"

Li Shimin held up the wine bottle and respected everyone from afar.

"Your Highness, please!"

Everyone picked up the wine bottles, respected Li Shimin from a distance, and drank the wine in the cup.

Following Li Shimin's opening remarks, everyone began to toast one after another, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.At this time, the second dish began to be served, which was the roast beef with dried bamboo shoots that had been prepared a long time ago.

In front of everyone is a small portion.

As the person who introduced Du Qi, he said calmly: "Speaking of which, it's also a matter of luck, some beef that died of illness has just been sent to the palace, so everyone is lucky, this is dried bamboo shoots and roasted beef. Whether it tastes good or not, I won't say much

, everyone please! "

Li Shimin is still moving his chopsticks now.

In the afternoon, he didn't eat enough.

Whether it's the crispness of the dried bamboo shoots or the softness of the beef, Li Shimin's tongue twitches.

The others ate too.

As soon as the beef entered the mouth, a different taste permeated, and everyone looked surprised and praised.

After a while, it was all eaten.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait, he said directly: "Your Highness, whether it's soup or beef, it's all delicious, and I haven't eaten it before. I drink this wine every day, and I don't think there's anything unusual about it. How about, let's taste one dish at a time, and after we finish eating, it won't be too late to drink again, what do you think?"

Qin Qiong echoed: "Your Highness, the last general will second!"

Yuchi respectfully said: "The last general will second the proposal!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others all agreed with each other, because the people present, having tasted this different taste, were conquered by this taste in a blink of an eye, and they all had anticipation in their eyes.

Chapter 52 This Kid Is a Monster

This kid is a monster

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 whatever you want."

"Yes!"

Du Qi agreed, and immediately gave orders.

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

This dish is stewed elbow.

Stewed elbow, the raw material needed is pork knuckle.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, Chinese prickly ash

, scallions, etc. to remove miscellaneous smells and minimize the taste on 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 quite different.

But in total, there are only four pork knuckles.

In front of Li Shimin was a complete pork knuckle, and the other three pork knuckles had passed through when they were fished out.

After Liu Jian's knife skills were distributed, everyone saw nothing but a small share.

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 bites.

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, it is the hoof of the pig's thigh."
