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

Li Shimin might not have imagined that Wei Zheng could do this in order to eat in one bite.

certainly…

In addition to eating, the more reason is that Wei Zheng felt that his health was indeed getting worse day by day, and he was still worried about the affairs of the court before.

Looking at it now, there is no need to worry about these things, the imperial court still has successors, like Zhou Xiaosan is a budding talented person, and behind him are Ji Wen, Han Yuan, etc...

It is that they are all from Tongfu Academy, which makes Wei Zheng a little worried.

嗏

What does this have to do with him?He and Yin Xuan have a good relationship, but not to the point of life and death.Let your majesty deal with such a headache.

Wei Zheng finished eating in the restaurant, and when he was almost relieved, he ordered two dishes for himself at dinner.

One is sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and the other is steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce.

I didn't order rice, and I hadn't fully digested the ones I ate at noon. I only ordered a piece of corn, but I couldn't eat it completely in the end.

The news that Tongfu Restaurant adopted a new menu quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Occasionally a few new dishes come out, that's not big news.

But... this time is different, a new recipe is changed every time, all of which are new dishes that have not been eaten before, and it is also said that it will be changed every five days in the future.

There are more than ten cuisines. According to the fact that each book is the same as Cantonese cuisine, there are at least 300 dishes, that is more than [-] dishes.

More than 300 dishes, one dish a day, enough to last a year.

Isn't this more than 300 dishes at once?This number is too scary.

Scholars are very fond of Cantonese cuisine, they like this kind of exquisite things, even the food has the beauty of bamboo orchid, plum and chrysanthemum.

What is it called?This is called elegance!
Li Shimin was attracted by the news, so he took time out of his busy schedule to come here.The next day, I came back again, bringing the cook from the Shangshi Bureau, and asked him to think about how to make the dishes so delicate and at the same time more atmospheric.

It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not.

It is necessary to save face now, and it will show Datang's face if it is used to entertain guests.

After five days.

The restaurants were once again surrounded by diners before they even opened, and some of them were court officials, who came to buy breakfast as usual.

The rest is all about looking forward to what the new cuisine will be like today.

Wei Zheng, who had already asked Li Shimin to resign, showed signs of letting go.

After buying the buns, he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat down slowly and ordered a bowl of noodles and a menu to study today's cuisine.

Liu Jing first fetched the menu for him.

It is thicker than the menu of Cantonese cuisine, and the word "Lu" is written on the upper left corner of the menu.

This made Wei Zheng startled.

Since Yue refers to the land of South Vietnam, then this Lu should refer to the land of Qilu?

The dishes in the land of Qilu have been famous since ancient times. There is a saying in the historical records that "all mountains and seas, fertile soil for thousands of miles".

For example, in Chang'an City, the chefs of Mingyue Tower and Chunjiang Tower were all from the land of Qilu, with the exception of Yin Xuan. Before Yin Xuan came out, many restaurants had signs that their chefs were Qilu people, or those who have learned cooking skills from Qilu people.

There are also many cooks from Qilu Land in Shangshi Bureau.

Wei Zheng opened the cover with eyes full of anticipation, and when he turned to the first page, what caught his eye was a Shandong dish that he had never heard of before, "White Grilled Four Treasures".

It looks like an ordinary stir-fry, but looking at the price, 250 Wen, Wei Zheng was taken aback.Think about what treasures these four treasures should be.

Turn another page.

It is a soup called "Wuyun Tuoyue", the soup is clear, and there are some black and purple things mixed in it, which looks as delicate as Cantonese cuisine.

The price is also surprisingly cheap, this bowl of soup only costs [-] Wen.

Wei Zheng pulled his beard and turned another page.

It is a dish called Mushu Pork. He eats a lot, and he can tell the ingredients used in this dish with just one glance. Eggs, fungus, pork... What will the taste be when these things are mixed together?
As he thought about it, he continued to read.

After he finished reading all these dishes, it was already bright outside, and the breakfast shop was ready to close the stalls. Li Yuan and Li Jing walked in staggeringly, yawning.

As soon as he came in, Li Yuan saw Wei Zheng, which made him stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled.

He took half a step back and went back to the door of the restaurant. He glanced at the sky, the sun was rising from the east, and it looked like he was about to wake up.

Li Yuan walked in again, somewhat puzzled: "Xuan Cheng...how did you do it today? I remember that Xiu Mu is not today."

Wei Zheng waved his hand and smiled: "I'm old, my health is failing, I have to learn how to be a pharmacist."

Li Jing smiled without saying a word, and waved his hand.

Learn from yourself?You don't have a daughter who can marry Yin Xuan, how can you learn from yourself.

The three of them sat down skillfully, Li Jing went to the counter and took out the mahjong, picked a lucky one at random, and started rubbing it loudly.

At noon, just after finishing the round, Wei Zheng couldn't wait to push the mahjong: "Eat, eat."

"This store has a new menu."

Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief. He had lost too much this morning. He didn't expect Wei Zheng, a little old man who doesn't play mahjong very much, to be so good.

Wei Zheng beckoned and called Liu Jingxian over, and ordered the "White Grilled Four Treasures", "Dark Clouds Supporting the Moon", "Shili Ginkgo", and "Yellow Fish and Tofu Soup" that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Yin Xuan started working in the back kitchen.

The characteristic of Shandong cuisine is that it is good at using seafood. The so-called four treasures of white steak refer to the four treasures of cod fish belly, abalone, chicken breast, and asparagus.

Shili Ginkgo is a sweet dish. The main material used is the fruit of Ginkgo biloba. The finished dish looks like drawing soybeans. However, Yin Xuan put a lot of effort in arranging the dish to look good.

Yellow croaker tofu soup, just listen to its name, you will know what kind of dish it is.But as far as the ingredients in its name are concerned, it is destined not to be simple.

The last soup, Wuyun Tuoyue is the simplest dish.

Although the name sounds nice——it is indeed called this name, and Yin Xuan didn't figure it out by himself.

It is actually seaweed egg soup, but the only difference from seaweed egg drop soup is that the egg does not break apart and maintains the shape of a poached egg.

After processing these ingredients, coupled with the help of the kitchen assistant, the dishes were served in a short time.

As soon as I saw a table full of dishes.

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, this...although it's not as delicate as the Cantonese cuisine, but these few dishes actually hit Li Yuan's inner liking even more.
