Except for Liu Chan, everyone else stared at Queen Zhang Yuan with great envy.
At this moment, in Zhang Yuan's eyes, apart from this pot of fried pork with cabbage, there was no room for anything else, including Emperor Liu Chan.
No future.
Liu Chan complained secretly.
But we can understand them, after all, this pot of stir-fry should be the first time it appears in the human world.
They will be the first people to taste the stir-fry.
Zhang Yuan is the first person.
Looking at the pitiful looks of the others, Liu Chan shook his head, then picked up the spatula, filled a large plate and handed it to a guard.
"Let everyone try it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The guards thanked them profusely. They couldn't wait any longer. As soon as they took the plate, the surrounding soldiers surrounded them.
They were like tigers pouncing on their prey, and in the blink of an eye, the plate of stir-fried cabbage and meat was sold out.
Liu Chan ignored them.
He filled another small bowl and handed it to a cook.
"You two should try it too!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the two cooks thanked them, they were much more polite than the soldiers. At least they knew how to taste with chopsticks.
The soldiers who were watching outside gathered around again.
They looked longingly at the cook and the remaining cabbage and fried meat in the pot.
If it weren't for Liu Chan being the emperor.
Maybe they had already rushed in and took away the iron pot. After all, the emperor could kill them with just one word.
Moreover, this emperor is a nice person.
He won't eat alone.
He has already shared it with us.
A while——
We should be rewarded soon. The soldiers are looking forward to it, hoping that the emperor will show mercy and let them stir-fry the remaining cabbage in the pot with meat and share it together.
The two cooks are similar to Zhang Yuan.
When the cabbage meat rolls entered their mouths, their taste buds were instantly opened.
"How was it?"
Seeing that the two cooks were very satisfied with their meal, Liu Chan asked deliberately.
"Return to Your Majesty!"
Once the cook said excitedly: "This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."
"Have you learned anything?"
The cook was noncommittal. She actually saw clearly every step of the emperor's cooking.
Cooking does require skills.
However, for those who know how to cook, as long as they take a look at the new dishes, they will definitely be able to make a similar taste, even if they taste the same.
"Slave..."
The cook hesitated, as if she didn't know how to answer. If she said yes, would the emperor blame her?
This is the craftsmanship of His Majesty the Emperor!
If you say you can’t, you are cheating!
"If you can, you can, if you can't, you can't," Liu Chan said angrily, "Why is he hesitating?"
The cook was startled for a moment, then nodded.
"That's good!" Liu Chan was overjoyed: "I didn't make much. You can make more later so everyone can have a try."
"No!"
The cook responded, and Liu Chan took out a large plate of stir-fried cabbage and pork, and a large bowl of cabbage stew, and then asked Zhuge Qiao to carry it to the next room.
There was some left in the pot, but it was certainly not enough to feed so many soldiers, so the two cooks got busy again.
Let’s not talk about these two.
As expected of the cooks in Zhuge's house, they watched Liu Chan's stir-fried cabbage and pork. Not only did they learn how to make stir-fried cabbage and pork.
At the same time, cook other vegetables in the same way.
Stir-fried pork with cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish...etc.
Today's soldiers are in a good mood.
Liu Chan led Zhang Yuan back to the house. Zhuge Qiao had already laid out the bowls and chopsticks, but only two sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed.
"Bosong!" Liu Chan sat down and said, "Bring us another pair of bowls and chopsticks and let's eat together!"
"I don't dare!" Zhuge Qiao hurriedly refused: "How can I, my subordinates, dine at the same table with His Majesty?"
"Is there anything you dare to do?"
Liu Chan said speechlessly: "I order you to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks to accompany me and the queen to eat."
Zhuge Qiao had no choice but to take orders and get another pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Just as Zhuge Qiao sat down, Liu Chan suddenly said seriously: "Bosong, I have something important that I want to leave to you to handle. Will Bosong share my worries?"
"I accept the order!"
Zhuge Qiao quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Don't be surprised!" Liu Chan said: "There are no outsiders here, sit down and listen to me!"
"No!"
Zhuge Qiao sat down and Liu Chan took a look at the food on the table, and then said: "I just saw that the salt used in the kitchen has too many impurities. Long-term consumption of this kind of salt will be extremely harmful to human health."
Zhuge Qiao and Zhang Yuan were stunned. What happened to the salt? Haven't their ancestors been eating it for generations?
I didn’t see any harm to anyone’s body.
Of course they don't know.
The human body does need salt, but what it needs is not this coarse salt, but refined salt that removes impurities.
Just now in the kitchen, Liu Chan saw the salt block and had a new idea, about this little salt.
Salt was a scarce resource in all dynasties, and it was controlled by the imperial court. Folks were not allowed to mine and sell salt privately.
Selling illicit salt has been a serious crime in all dynasties.
People in this era don't know how to refine salt, but Liu Chan knows it, and the refining method is also very simple.
So, he had a bold idea.
When it comes to refining refined salt, we must first ensure that the people of Shu can eat the refined salt. If the production can keep up, perhaps salt can become an important resource to enhance the national power of Shu Han.
"I will take the time to teach you a method of refining refined salt," Liu Chan said.
"Refined salt?"
Zhang Yuan and Zhuge Qiao asked in unison.
"Well!" Liu Chan said: "The taste of refined salt is hundreds of times stronger than the current salt. More importantly, eating refined salt is beneficial to the human body, but the current salt is harmful to the human body."
Both of them were a little dumbfounded.
Liu Chan wanted to continue explaining, but felt a bit empty, so he asked Zhuge Qiao to find a way to find some salt, but this had to be done secretly.
Zhuge Qiao has very strong execution ability. After Liu Chan told him, he got almost ten kilograms of salt the next day.
Liu Chan's eyes lit up when he saw Yanba.
"Bosong, look carefully!"
In the open-air kitchen, only Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao were inside. All the soldiers were withdrawn to the outside to guard, and no one was allowed to approach.
Liu Chan crushed the salt block into powder, then poured it into clean water. When the water was stirred, the water became turbid.
First filter with gauze to filter out the impurities in the brine. In order to filter more thoroughly, Liu Chan used six layers of gauze stacked together.
After filtering three times, pour the salt water into the pot and cook.
Zhuge Qiao kept watching carefully. The more the half pot of salted water boiled, the less it boiled.
When the salt water in the pot finally boiled away, a layer of white sand-like crystals appeared on the bottom of the pot. Zhuge Qiao suddenly looked a little stupid.
What is this?
Is this refined salt?
