"Young master, the ingredients are ready." master fish pushes the door and enters. Every time Merton recruits guests, master fish will personally check and select the ingredients to ensure the absolute delicacy of the food. Hearing the appreciation of the guests is his greatest support to the young master.
"It's hard, uncle fish!" Merton nodded, turned his head and smiled at them. "This time, you've caught up with a good time. Come and taste the latest Mohist food to ensure that you're full of praise."
"Oh! Really?" Li Chengqian suddenly became interested. The food of Mohism is famous and people can't help looking forward to it.
Princess Changle was also interested. She saw Merton making ice cream with her own eyes. Knowing that the food that Merton could look forward to would be extraordinary, she quickly asked, "but food like cake?"
Merton shook his head and said, "what's more, this delicious food is loved by his boyfriend, old and young."
When they heard the speech, they looked forward to it.
Soon, plates of dishes were brought up. They were stunned when they saw that the dishes were very rich, but they were all raw!
"Brother Mo, just let us eat raw meat and lettuce!" Li Chengqian angrily looked at Merton. He just stabbed Merton, and Merton retaliated against him.
Princess Changle also looked at Merton with puzzled eyes.
Merton waved his hand and said, "don't worry, you two. You have to be patient and do it yourself to look more delicious."
"Coming!" Uncle Yu shouted, brought a copper stove in and put it on the table.
Li Chengqian couldn't help looking curiously. There was a circular chimney in the middle of the copper stove. The charcoal fire was booming inside. The chimney and the periphery of the copper pot formed a concentric pot. The soup in the pot was boiling and the aroma was overflowing.
"Is this a hotpot?" Li Chengqian wondered.
Merton nodded and said: it really evolved from a hot pot. Little brother named it hot pot.
In this era, in fact, there has been the prototype of hot pot, hot pot. It's just that the hotpots are stewed in one pot, and there is no hot pot process. Now it's going to enter October, and the weather has turned cold. It's not abrupt for Merton to move it out.
"Hot pot?"
Li Chengqian could not help nodding when he looked at the fire coming out of the chimney. It was really the best image.
Princess Changle asked curiously, "how do you want to eat this?"
"Eat while cooking! Cook whichever you like!" Merton said. He took the lead in picking up a bowl and opening it, prepared some soup, clamped a piece of mutton as thin as cicada wings, put it into a boiling copper pot, rinsed it for a few seconds, and then clamped it up and dipped it in the prepared soup.
"Good taste!" Merton said with praise.
Li Chengqian followed suit and picked up a piece of mutton as thin as a cicada's wing. He couldn't help praising it: "good workmanship."
When he went to Henan, he had already missed the Mohist food. At the moment, the food was in front of him and he couldn't help eating it.
Merton laughed and said, "it's not only good workmanship, but also better taste."
After a year, the fish master's method of processing cornel is more refined, and the extracted spicy flavor is added. It is not inferior to the pepper of later generations, but has another unique flavor.
Merton has been in the xuandu Temple recently. Taoism advocates abstaining from five meat dishes. But Merton has always been clear in the xuandu temple and is unwilling to show weakness.
Princess Changle also made a big move with her fingers and did the same. She picked up mutton and rinsed it. When she ate it, she took a cold breath.
Rao is so, but he still keeps eating chopsticks.
Although Princess Changle paid great attention to her figure, the delicious food in yuzhuangyuanlou was too tempting. She couldn't help eating more than usual. When she saw Merton, she didn't notice and hurriedly pretended to eat very little.
Soon everything was in a mess. Plates of dishes were destroyed by the three.
Merton touched his round belly and reluctantly put down his chopsticks. This familiar taste in his previous life really fascinated him.
Then, Li Chengqian also put down his chopsticks and couldn't help burping. As the crown prince, he usually pays most attention to his appearance, but only in front of Merton, these images have long collapsed. I don't know how many times.
"The Mohist cook deserves his reputation," Li Chengqian exclaimed.
Princess Changle also agreed, nodded and said, "brother Prince, this hot pot is so delicious that we are going to visit Grandpa Huang. If we don't give the hot pot to Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang will like it."
"Grandpa Huang?" Merton's heart moved. Could it be that they were talking about supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
Li Chengqian nodded, "the hot pot is delicious. I believe grandpa Huang will like it.
It is said that after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuan lived in Hongyi palace and became the supreme emperor. After Li Yuan abdicated, in order to dispel Li Shimin's wariness, he indulged in wine and sex and enjoyed himself. Li Shimin ordered people to send delicious food every morning and evening to show filial piety, and even killed himself to fill Tai'an palace with beautiful women.
After the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin had many more brothers and sisters. You know, Li Yuan was in his 60s at that time. You can imagine how energetic Li Yuan was.
And now Li Yuan is nearly 70. In his old age, Li Shimin often sends his children to visit. Li Shimin goes by himself. Of course, Li Yuan doesn't have a good face, but Li Yuan is still cruel to his grandchildren.
"Brother Mo, can we go together?" Princess Changle suddenly said.
Morton was startled and said, "it's not good. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Weichen to go."
As a foreign minister, he went to see the emperor without permission. I'm afraid it would be very inappropriate.
"What's the matter? Last time Changle went to Hongyi palace to visit Grandpa Huang and brought him some ink magazines. Grandpa Huang was in a great mood and praised you as a young talent." Princess Changle said.
Merton smiled shyly and said, "I didn't expect that a mere name could enter the emperor's ears."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "besides, where have I seen such new delicacies as hot pot? I still need your advice at that time?"
In the palace, Li Shimin's psychology towards Li Yuan has already changed. Anyone with a clear eye can see that Li Yuan's body is getting worse day by day. Seeing that the time is not much, Li Shimin's mentality towards Li Yuan has changed from the original alert to compensation. As long as Li Yuan asks, Li Shimin will be satisfied.
Although Merton did not know this, he still had a strong curiosity about Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Merton was greatly moved by the persuasion of Li Chengqian and Princess Changle.
Merton pondered and said, "since you are going to visit the emperor, I believe the emperor will like it."
"Oh! Brother Mo, tell me?" Li Chengqian said quickly.
"The secret of hair dyeing!" Merton said positively.
