This is not the Datang I am familiar with

"Young master is doing things for your empress, son is doing things for your empress!..."

There, I saw Chen Fang rolled up his sleeves, ready to cook himself.A few cooks rushed over to help, washing vegetables and chopping vegetables.

Chen Fang found a bone razor and prepared to remove the pork ribs. A healthy woman who followed Chen Fang quickly took the bone razor and let Chen Fang direct it.

What exactly Chen Fang does, none of these people know.But everyone understands that Chen Fang is a noble person, how can Chen Fang be allowed to do this rough work.

Chen Fang also had no choice but to direct a few cooks and two healthy women to work hard, chopping, shredding, deboning, and meat. Not bad.

Chen Fang left the job of steaming the rice to the cook, but Chen Fang had to do the cooking and making the soup by himself.

It's just that Tao Hong, who volunteered to start the fire, had her face blackened, and she just didn't start the fire.

Chen Fang shook his head, this girl didn't seem to have done much rough work since entering the palace.

Chen Fang took out some firewood from the stove, fiddled with the stove a few times with a wooden stick, and soon the fire ignited.

"My lord, how did the fire get so hot? I haven't burned it up after working for a long time."

"Don't add so much firewood!"

As for the principle that people should be honest and fire should be modest, Chen Fang felt that it was not suitable to explain it to Tao Hong.

"Oh! The servant girl knows!"

"Have the carrots, corn and pork ribs been cut and washed?"

"It's ready!"

At this time, the water in the pot has boiled, and Chen Fang puts the ribs into the pot. The ribs need to be blanched first to skim off the foam.

Chen Fang is skillful, but it's a pity that there are only iron pots here, and no casserole pots, otherwise the casserole pots are better.

"One more pot!"

A cook there hurriedly lit the fire, and the fire burned quickly. Compared with Tao Hong, this kitchen is obviously full of fire skills.

Chen Fang put the rapeseed oil into the pot, and soon a unique aroma of rapeseed oil permeated the extremely spacious kitchen.

When the shredded green onion and ginger are put into the pot, a strange fragrance has quickly permeated.

This combination of rapeseed oil, scallion and ginger, not to mention Tao Hong, has never smelled it before, and it was the first time for several cooks to smell it.

"Young master, it smells so good!"

"It will be more fragrant in a while! Make your fire, don't make it too big, remember, don't add too much firewood."

"Well, this servant knows. Young master, can I try the peach red dish that I made later? Just pay me a little."

"All of you can taste it. This meal is just to reward you who squeezed out the rapeseed oil! Of course, the cooks have helped so much, so I will try it later."

Chapter 11 Cooking for the first time in Datang

Chen Fang didn't say that this meal was also a reward for himself.In the past few days in Datang, I don’t know the taste of food, and I eat every meal with fear. Today, the oil is freshly squeezed by myself, and all the vegetables and meat are found in the kitchen of Ye Ting Palace, even the salt and spices They are all taken here.Of course, there are very few spices, and even Chen Fang didn't find pepper.

Someone wants to harm me, but I never thought that I would come to the kitchen to cook by myself!

Chen Fang made the soup first. After all, the corn ribs soup was really time consuming, and the pot was slowly simmering for a while.There is no delay in cooking vegetables in other pots.

Fortunately, this is a place to cook for the maids, and there are many stoves and pots.It was not time for cooking, and the cooks became Chen Fang's helpers.

A cook had already finished the work in hand, and under Chen Fang's command, another stove was started.

There were three stoves, and the cooks were surprised to see that Chen Fang was cooking on three stoves at the same time.

But Chen Fang didn't think it was difficult at all. After all, other people did all the washing and cutting of vegetables, and all he needed to do was stir fry vegetables and add condiments.

And the pork rib corn soup only needs to be simmered in a pot, and it does not require complicated operations.

After a while, the smell of meat in the pot wafted out. Chen Fang sniffed the smell of meat, and it was not bad, but it was not as good as his actual level. satisfy.

However, this fragrance still made Chen Fang's taste buds eager to move, because the food he ate these days was too bland and tasteless.

"Master, it smells so good! Is this really the smell of pork?"

There, Tao Hong couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance from the pot.Several cooks also smelled this smell and were amazed.

They have not been cooking in this kitchen for a day or two, and they have used all the ingredients in the pot, but thinking this way, this is the first time they smell it.The food in the imperial dining room is not so delicious, is it?

"Did you not see what was in the pot?"

Chen Fang asked back, without staying in his hand, a bowl of well-mixed eggs was poured into the hot oil, and there was a slight crackling sound immediately, the eggs poured into the pot instantly changed from liquid to solid, and the golden light was soaked with rapeseed oil characteristic luster.A unique aroma of scrambled eggs filled the air, quickly covering up the aroma of meat.

Very simple scrambled eggs, even without any condiments, just a little salt, but at this time it exudes a fascinating aroma.

The cooks opened their mouths wide in surprise, unbelievable, really unbelievable.

Chen Fang smelled the smell he hadn't seen for a long time. If there were tomatoes and a scrambled egg with tomatoes, it would be a classic Chinese home-cooked dish, and it would be a simple meal.

Green pepper and potato shreds, stir-fried vegetables, fried lotus root slices...

All the home-cooked dishes that were the most common to Chen Fang were now cooked one by one.

All kinds of scents filled the kitchen for a while, and the initial surprise of the cooks gradually became numb.

Tao Hong couldn't help it, she took a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the side, added a slice of lotus root with a strong fragrance, and stuffed it into her mouth regardless of the heat.

"Ah! I'm scalded to death, huh!"

The girl's expression brightened in an instant, and she kept shouting hot, but her mouth didn't stop at all, and her beautiful face was filled with an unconcealable sense of happiness.

"Master, is this lotus root? Why is it so delicious!"

"Is it lotus root, you don't know, cut lotus root into slices, don't you keep looking at it?"

"My lord, the lotus root slices you made are so delicious, even better than those made by the imperial dining room."

"Have you ever eaten lotus root slices made by the imperial dining room?"

"A gift from your mother!"

"Young master, can we have a taste too?"

The cooks saw Taohong's expression, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't feel their tongues flowing, wanting to taste whether the lotus root slices are really so delicious.

"Of course, there are a lot of fried dishes, everyone should try it."

Chen Fang stir-fries a lot of each dish, which is enough for everyone to taste.As a time-traveling member, Chen Fang didn't have much sense of hierarchy. Although he used to be a supervisor, he always got along with the employees.

Several cooks also picked up the bamboo chopsticks one after another, and they were all full of praise for the scrambled eggs and the green vegetables for a while.

The two healthy women looked eagerly at this moment, but due to their identities, they didn't dare to say that they wanted to taste it.

Chen Fang picked up two pairs of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to them.

"Try it all, try it all!"

These two healthy women belonged to the family members of criminal ministers, and their status in this palace was regarded as the lowest.But Chen Fang didn't mean to underestimate them at all.Misfortune does not affect the family, but in this ancient times, it is obviously not the case.

Not to mention family members, sometimes neighbors are affected.

"Young master, you eat too!"

There, Tao Hong stuffed a piece of scrambled egg into Chen Fang's mouth. Chen Fang was caught off guard and stuffed into his mouth.

This girl, now that she is familiar with her, is a bit out of order, but Chen Fang naturally doesn't mind.

"Tao Hong, just eat your own!"

"Young master, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious meal in such a big age."

"The soup should be ready, let me see."

Sure enough, after the vegetables were fried, the pork ribs and corn soup stewed in the pot were ready.

Chen Fang instructed the cook to pour the soup into a thick porcelain sea bowl.

Some food was left for the kitchen, and Chen Fang had asked Tao Hong and two healthy women to rush back to the yard where the oil was pressed with the steaming food.

After the rapeseed oil was squeezed out, it was natural not to neglect the carpenters and soldiers who worked hard together.

The setting sun at dusk is about to set in the west, and the clouds in the sky are reddened by the setting sun.

In the yard, on the newly moved stone table, the meals have been set up, big dishes, big bowls of soup, big pots of rice.

Several rough porcelain bowls were already filled with rice.Beside the stone table, a jar of rice wine given by the cook when he left the kitchen had already been unsealed.

Chen Fang greeted the two carpenters and four soldiers. At first, everyone was afraid to sit with Chen Fang, including Tao Hong. Chen Fang could only hold Tao Hong's shoulder.Push her onto the stone bench.

"Quick, sit down, you won't let me press you one by one on the stool!"

At this moment, a group of people sat down with a little fear. In this hierarchical society, it took a lot of effort to let them sit with me.

A healthy woman didn't know why her eyes were wet, and the other hurriedly wiped her tears.

"Young Master, Meng Fei is so kind and virtuous today that I will never forget it!"

Great kindness, Chen Fang is embarrassing, why don't we invite everyone to dinner, why not talk about great kindness and great virtue.

"A meal is not a kindness. You have helped me a lot in the past two days. I should be the one to thank you."

"It's just a meal to the young master, but to Meng Fei, it's the only warmth in the cold life of the palace for several years."

Chen Fang finally understood, he also sighed, and cursed again in his heart, this evil feudal society.

Of course, Chen Fang can't change anything, he can only adapt to this era and this society.Talking about change, to Chen Fang at this time, is tantamount to nonsense.

"Everyone eat, it will be cold in a while."

Chapter 12 Shangshi Bureau

A few smaller rough porcelain bowls were placed on the stone table, Chen Fang picked up the wine jar, and a soldier hurriedly took it from there.How can you get the young master to pour wine.

Tao Hong next to Chen Fang couldn't close his mouth from eating at this time, and when he saw the rice wine, he drank another big bowl in one gulp.

That drinking posture doesn't look like a child at all, it doesn't have the demeanor of a court lady, it's too ladylike.

"Eat slowly!"

"Son, it's really delicious."

"belch!"

Choking, Chen Fang cursed with a smile, and served her a bowl of soup.

Every plate on the table was empty at this time, Chen Fang looked at the empty dishes, what kind of spirit was this, this was the energy-saving spirit of not wasting a grain of food.

It seems that Li Shen's two poems of pity for farmers have not been composed yet, but looking at the table, even the condiments such as onion and ginger are eaten up, and the soup is mixed with rice and eaten clean.

The two healthy women cleaned up the dishes and will send them back to the kitchen in a while.

There, Chen Fang was ready to go back to the house to sleep, and Tao Hong followed Chen Fang with a full belch.

Chen Fang looked at the girl's slender body, and really couldn't tell that she had eaten so much just now, three bowls of rice, two bowls of soup, and two bowls of rice wine were not considered food. After stopping, I gnawed four or five ribs.

Sure enough, some people's food intake is not directly proportional to their body size.

"take a break!"

"Young master, I will wait for you to rest after soaking your feet. Young master..."

"Just say what you have to say!"

"Tao Hong has a rough mouth and can't speak, son, you are so kind!"

Chen Fang smiled, being praised by this girl, for some reason, he felt a little flattered.

Taohong prepares hot water. This place is different from Tai Chi Palace, so bathing and bathing are obviously not allowed.Although Ye Ting Palace also has a large bathhouse, but it is for the maids, Chen Fang dare not go there.

However, for the past two days, Taohong insisted on soaking Chen Fang's feet every day. This girl pinched her feet very well, and she felt comfortable soaking her feet every day.

Chen Fang fell asleep, but Tao Hong didn't go back to her room, but rushed to Ganlu Palace.

In the morning of the second day, Taohong gave Chen Fang a toothbrush and coarse salt for the washbasin.

"Young Master, Your Majesty asked you to go to the imperial dining room today! I have to thank you for today's noon meal."

"Oh!"

Chen Fang didn't find it strange, Tao Hong must have gone to see Wu Meiniang last night, this girl is Wu Meiniang's confidant after all.

Tao Hong praised Wu Meiniang, and it was only natural that Wu Meiniang asked Chen Fang to go to the imperial dining room to prepare today's meal.

The rapeseed oil has been squeezed out, and it's time for the nobles in this palace to taste it.Holding Wu Meiniang's thigh tightly, this is what Chen Fang relies on to survive in this era.
