I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The next day, when Li Shimin came over, it was in the afternoon when there were not many customers in the restaurant.

Li Lizhi and Li Shuzheng were frowning at a math problem.

Why is there such a thing as "mathematics" in the world?

Seeing Li Shimin and Empress Changsun approaching, Li Lizhi dropped the pen in her hand and rushed over: "Mother, you are here."

Empress Changsun looked curiously at this restaurant that she always heard about from her husband and daughter.

The environment is elegant, and there are two flower pots at the door, planted with chrysanthemums with some leaves hanging on them, but the flowers have disappeared. This made Empress Changsun feel a little sorry that she was late and could not see the two beautiful chrysanthemums.

She turned her eyes to Yin Xuan again with a thoughtful look.

good looking
No wonder my two daughters always say things like "Brother Zhengyang is so pretty".

Li Shimin took the eldest grandson queen and sat down at a table behind Li Lizhi, looking at Yin Xuan with burning eyes: "Shopkeeper, I heard that you have new wine again?"

Yin Xuan smiled and nodded his head: "That's right, Yu Jingqiu, one tael and fifty taels, and each person is limited to three taels."

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat: "Is this wine also restricted?"

He glanced at Li Lizhi's face, his little padded jacket never told him about it.

Li Lizhi didn't notice Li Shimin's expression, she just cared about being coquettish with Empress Changsun.

Forget it, just limit the purchase.

With the matter of Qiongyeyuye in the first place, Li Shimin accepted this fact quite readily.

"I heard that you also have a lot of new dishes here?" Li Shimin asked again.

Yin Xuan nodded again: "Yes, the last time you came, there were three more dishes, fried pork, flaming mountain, and red robe annunciation."

The red robe announces the good news?

Several people immediately turned their attention to Yin Xuan.

Li Lizhi blinked and asked curiously: "Brother Zhengyang, what kind of dish is the red robe Annunciation? I have never eaten it!"

"A new dish that was launched today." Yin Xuan replied.

Li Lizhi stared round, and said angrily: "Brother Zhengyang, you didn't even tell me."

Yin Xuan looked innocent: "You didn't ask."

Li Lizhi snorted heavily.

Empress Changsun smiled and touched Li Lizhi's head to comfort her.

Li Shimin waved his hand and signaled the guards behind him to pay: "Then please trouble the shopkeeper to give me some taels of Jade Jingqiu, a piece of oily fried pork, Flame Mountain, and a red robe to announce the good news."

Yin Xuan nodded heavily in response.

After all, this trouble cannot be avoided.

Cooking fish and eating fish are both troublesome things.

As a dish of two hundred renminbi, it is naturally impossible to have only one fish, but two.

Take two shots and stun the fish.

Yin Xuan skillfully cut open the belly of the fish, scraped off the scales, and cut flower knives on both sides of the fish.

In fact, river fish is as delicious as sea fish.

It's just that the "earthy smell" has always been a problem, even the river fish produced by the system will inevitably have this problem. After all, according to the system, the river fish produced by the system are raised in the healthiest and most suitable natural environment for the growth of crucian carp of.

There are even natural enemies who do not eat crucian carp, but can scare crucian carp, so as to urge crucian carp to maintain a good exercise habit and grow the most plump meat.

After slaughtering, soak crucian carp in cold water, sprinkle with a little bit of vinegar and a little bit of pepper, unfortunately there is still no bay leaf, if there is bay leaf, the effect of removing the earthy smell is the best.

While the fish is soaking, process the ingredients.

Prepare minced garlic, chopped green peppers, sliced ​​ginger, and scallions.

Heat the oil in a pan. You don’t need too much oil, just a shallow layer. When the oil starts to emit light smoke, put the fish in. After frying on both sides until golden, take the fish out.

There is no need to pour out the remaining oil. Put garlic slices, green peppers, and a little dried chili into it. After frying the aroma, put the fish back into the pot.

Pour in some light soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce, and a little oyster sauce, which is the key to coloring.

Then put ginger slices and scallions in.

Pour boiling water just enough to submerge the fish, add a little sugar and cooking wine.

Turn to medium heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

When the fish meat is stewed until soft, sprinkle a spoonful of salt and collect the juice on high heat. When the juice is slightly thick, take out the fish and put it on a plate, then filter the soup and pour it on the fish.

Yin Xuan brought up the dishes.

Seeing this dish, several people were a little stunned.

"The Red Robe Announces Good News" turned out to be a fish?

However, the name fits the dish well. The deep red and oily soup on the fish is not like wearing a red robe. As for the two hundred coins for the good news, it must be more festive.

Li Shimin was about to move his chopsticks when he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Shopkeeper, what kind of fish are you?"

Yin Xuan was serious, and spit out two words: "Guess?"

After finishing speaking, Yin Xuan looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

He knew what kind of mentality Li Shimin asked such a question out of.

Guess?
This actually made Li Shimin hesitate.

This shouldn't be a carp, but it seems like something the store can do.

Because of the country's surname, Datang called carp "Red Carp Gong", and it was forbidden to eat carp. If someone was found selling carp along the street, he would be punished with a staff of sixty.

However, prohibition is a prohibition, and it is just a rhetoric on the surface, and those who should eat carp will not eat less.

Otherwise, there would be no poems such as "the good man Yule rides the horse, the maid carp the carp on the golden plate", "there is a row stove on the bow, and the red carp is cooked with rice".

Like the ban on eating cows.

It's not just Cheng Yaojin, there are many people who will find out such absurd reasons as "the old cow is lovesick" and occasionally eat a meal of beef.

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitant face, Yin Xuan laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is crucian carp."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

He is also aware of the folks eating carp.It can control the mouths of the people, but it can't control the hearts of the people. The provisions on the surface are to establish the majesty of the Li and Tang royal family.

But if someone's head is really chopped off because someone ate the carp, what's that called? "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why flip through books randomly."It's not something decent people do anyway.

Perhaps some dynasties would do such a thing, and would really chop off the head of anyone who ate the carp, but Datang was obviously not among them.

"You don't think it's a carp, do you?" Yin Xuan asked with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded and smiled, graciously admitting it.

Yin Xuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not so black-hearted. Carp is the worst kind of fish with the most earthy smell, the meat is not tender enough, and there are many thorns. It is the most unpalatable kind of river fish. I put that thing Bringing it to the table is not spoiling the guests."

After hearing this, Li Shimin suppressed his expression.

An excellent chef is naturally qualified to comment on ingredients.

But why does this sound so uncomfortable?
