Chapter 303 Showdown(1/2)

 ‘How do I know this?’

‘Things everyone on earth knows.’

Liu Chan secretly complained, and then said with a smile: "I saw this from an unknown ancient book..."

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other in confusion for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt that their question itself was unnecessary.

Over the years, Liu Chan has often come up with some weird things and said some words that can change the times, but whenever he is asked about the source,

His answer is always - read it from unknown ancient books.

Who is Zhuge Liang?

Who is Xu Shu?

Both of them are great sages of this era. Although there are many ancient books in the world, they believe that they have read as many classics as Liu Chan.

What's more, Mr. Zhuge Wolong, who is famous in China, never likes to quote scriptures.

In his opinion,

That's totally the march of nerds.

However, the summary of ancient books mentioned by Liu Chan is also good.

Regardless of experience, it is unprecedented in this era.

Vaccination with cowpox will immunize you against smallpox.

Sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal can be used to prepare terrifying explosives.

Nowadays, there are all kinds of rare vegetables that you have never heard of.

This——

Are they really all from so-called unknown ancient books?

Liu Chan also saw the doubts between the two of them, but he didn't care about it. Anyway, there are so many ancient classics in the world. Whether it's you, Zhuge Wolong, or a great sage like Xu Shu, are you sure you have read all the classics and ancient books in the world?

"Father, Xu Aiqing!" Liu Chan changed the subject, took two pairs of chopsticks from the side, handed them to the two of them and said with a smile: "Come and try the vinegar-stuffed potato shreds I made, and see how it tastes?"

Facing the temptation of delicious food,

Both Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu soon interpreted Liu Chan's previous words.

Throw it out of the sky.

After all——

Both of them are real foodies.

First, Xu Shu picked up some shredded potatoes and sniffed them. His sense of smell was immediately opened by the sour smell of vinegar, which seemed to stimulate his appetite. He quickly put the shredded potatoes into his mouth and chewed them.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu nodded and praised as he chewed the shredded potatoes: "This is truly a delicacy in the world. The shredded potatoes are crispy and filled with a faint aroma of vinegar." As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up another large potato with chopsticks.

Feeding the silk into my mouth is so satisfying.

“Delicious!”

“Delicious!”

"Kong Ming!" Xu Shu urged Zhuge Liang while eating: "This is the first time I have tasted this thing in my life. Try it quickly. I guarantee you will fall in love with it immediately."

Zhuge Liang had wanted to try it for a long time, but Xu Shu got the first step. Then he was attracted by his exaggerated expression and forgot to taste it himself.

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang finally reacted and picked up some shredded potatoes and sniffed them.

The expression is almost the same as that of Xu Shu,

Then quickly feed it into your mouth,

While eating, I kept praising it. In short, I just said, this vinegary shredded potato is the most delicious thing in the world.

As a cook, it is always a happy thing for the food you make to be praised by diners. Although the shredded potatoes taste pretty good, Liu Chan, who has been eating them for twenty or thirty years in his previous life, can only sigh secretly; "You two

, you really were born in the wrong era.'

Isn’t it just a plate of shredded potatoes? Is it as exaggerated as you said?

Seeing Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang completely disregarding their personal image and devouring the vinegar-coated potato shreds cooked by the emperor, the ministers, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who were watching could not help but swallow their saliva.<

/p>

There was a constant sound of swallowing saliva. Zhuge Liang ate a few mouthfuls of shredded potatoes and then hurriedly greeted: "Everyone, come and have a taste. The shredded potatoes cooked by your majesty are extremely delicious."

Liu Chan ignored them, continued to wave the spatula, and poured another pot of shredded potatoes into the pot to stir-fry. There was no way, if the pot of shredded potatoes just was eaten the way Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and the others ate it, it wouldn't take long before it was all dry.

Er Jing.

As the saying goes, in life, the only thing you can't live up to is beauty and delicious food, especially the latter.

If on a normal day, Liu Chan would cook in person, and Zhuge Liang would not be allowed to preach. Your Majesty is the emperor, how can he do these things himself?

But at this moment, he was completely captured by the potato silk. He no longer had any scruples about Liu Chan. The ministers who were summoned were all in their forties and fifties. They were just like a bunch of children.

They started fighting over a chopstick of shredded potatoes.

In a short time, a pot of shredded potatoes was cleaned up by more than a dozen Han civil and military ministers. In the end, Guan Suo picked up the pot and swept the last remaining bits of soup into his mouth.

This makes the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards outside look greedy.

Looking at them swallowing their saliva, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are still more potato shreds, you can all eat them in a while."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone thanked them in unison, and several ministers on this side locked their eyes on Liu Chan's pot, because this pot of potato shreds was about to cook again, but Liu Chan rolled his eyes and said: "Everyone, this potato shreds

Although it’s delicious, we can’t be greedy.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the two large iron pots not far away and said with a smile: "There is more delicious food there, so save some space to eat it later."

Smelling Liu Chan's words, everyone quickly turned their attention to the two large iron pots. At this time, green smoke was rising from the pots. With a gentle sniff, they could smell the aroma of stewed meat, but the taste seemed to be different from theirs.

The familiar stew tastes very different.

Seeing the ministers like this, Liu Chan secretly wanted to laugh, thinking to himself, you are all ministers of the imperial court, can we worry about our personal image?

However, this is actually understandable. After all, this is the first time that potatoes have appeared in people's eyes, and they have tasted potato shreds in person. Their taste buds have already been opened, so they have nothing to worry about.

Liu Chan didn't care about them. After frying the pot of shredded potatoes, he asked the imperial chefs to fry the remaining shredded potatoes according to his method, while he instructed them on the side. He couldn't do all these cooking skills by himself.

To do it, you have to teach them.

Half an hour later.

After Liu Chan personally tasted it and determined that the potato stew was cooked, amidst everyone's expectations, Liu Chan announced what they all wanted to hear.

"Let's eat!"

The emperor, empress, prince, princess, and court ministers usually give a lot of explanations about food, but today I gave them a special experience.

Picnic——

Yes, they are having a picnic.

Because they were busy with sowing today, Liu Chan did not ask them to go to nearby villages or return to Chang'an. Instead, he set up an open-air kitchen on an open space on the edge of the royal farm and started cooking here.

There is no village or shop in the area, so naturally you have to sit on the floor to eat. Whether it is the court ministers or members of the royal family such as Liu Chan and Zhang Yang, they all sit around on the spot, and then the food is brought to them by the palace maids and eunuchs.

The two little princes and the little princess had also tasted shredded potatoes before, and when they saw a bowl of potato stewed with pork, the aroma attracted them.

Liu Rongyue, the eldest princess of Hanyang, as soon as the maid placed the meal in front of her, she grabbed a piece of spareribs and chewed them happily. While chewing, she said with satisfaction: "It's so delicious, Father, we will eat it every day in the future."

Is it okay to eat this for all your meals?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed: "As long as Xiao Jindou likes it!"

Then naturally came her two younger brothers, Prince Liu Chen and King Qin Liu Tan. Seeing their sister being so exaggerated, they naturally couldn't resist the temptation of this delicacy, and soon started devouring it like little golden beans.

Compliment the food on how delicious it is from time to time.

The only one who seemed more reserved was Queen Zhang Yang. She chewed slowly and tasted the rare delicacies beautifully.

Two large pots of potato stew and three large pots of shredded potatoes were eaten by more than a dozen ministers, Liu Chan's family of five, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in a short time, without even a morsel of soup left.<

/p>

After eating and drinking, Liu Chan was very satisfied as he looked at a group of smiling ministers.

In the previous year, the courtiers of Han Dynasty had to work very hard because of smallpox, and there are still many things that Han Dynasty needs to solve in the future.

Today——

Just think of it as letting them relax.

This is actually Liu Chan's purpose of bringing them out. First, it is to relieve everyone's stress and exhaustion in the past year, and it is also a good opportunity to draw closer to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

In the evening.

Weiyang Palace.
