With a smile on his face, Li Yujun gave a few instructions to Yu Xilin's ear, then found a seat and sat down.
After hearing this, Yu Xilin nodded, turned around and ordered:
"The prince is very interested in this cooking competition, so I invite you two to compete again!"
Although Chen Yun was very reluctant, he still went to the kitchen.
Lin Xiao followed closely with satisfaction.
It was the same three dishes that Lin Xiao started to cook with ease.
After a while, the dishes prepared by both parties were presented to everyone!
The same dishes we had just now.
Yu Xilin served Li Yuqian respectfully, and the first thing he tasted was the wild boar meat cooked by Chen Yun.
"Well, the meat is fresh and tender, just like the one made by the imperial chef."
Chen Yun, who was praised by Li Yujun, immediately smiled and looked at Lin Xiao proudly.
As if telling Lin Xiao, I am awesome, what can you do to me?
Lin Xiao rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to talk to him.
After a while, Li Yuqian finished trying the three dishes cooked by Chen Yun, with no success and no fault.
"My lord, try this."
Yu Xilin continued to serve Li Yuqian with dishes, this time the dishes were cooked by Lin Xiao.
"Is this...poached egg?"
Li Yujun frowned. He was a high-ranking prince. How could he be given poached eggs that ordinary people eat?
"Reporting to the prince, these are indeed poached eggs, but the taste will definitely be unforgettable for you!"
Lin Xiao said lightly.
I cursed secretly in my heart: "Huh, you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! The taste of this dish I made is definitely not much worse than that of the imperial chef! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
"Ha! What a big tone! I want to see how I can make this king unforgettable for the rest of his life!"
Li Yujun sneered, then picked up a piece of poached egg, put it to his mouth and bit it, his face suddenly changed.
This taste!
So delicious!!!!
No!
It’s simply delicious!
An extremely rich aroma filled his mouth, making Li Yujun's heart beat much faster.
What the hell kind of dish is this?!
This is the delicacy of the world!
Li Yujun couldn't help but eat another piece.
"How is it? Your Majesty, how does it taste?"
Lin Xiaoming asked knowingly.
"Delicious! So delicious! This is the first time I have tasted this dish of yours that is so delicious! It is simply unforgettable!"
Li Yujun clapped his hands excitedly and said, as if he was recalling the taste just now.
"That's good! Your Majesty, please taste the other two dishes!"
When Yu Xilin was about to serve the dishes, Li Yuqian hurriedly stopped him:
"The king will come in person!"
After that, he couldn't wait to taste the other two dishes.
Every time he tasted it, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and it became increasingly difficult to conceal his surprise.
In the end, Li Yujun ignored his image and asked Yu Xilin to give him a large bowl of white rice and wolfed it down.
After finishing all the dishes, Li Yuqian touched his round belly with satisfaction and took a long breath of satisfaction. Then he raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao opposite, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and asked with a smile.
:
"Little brother, what is your name? Your cooking skills are so superb, can you become my disciple?"
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly when he heard this and refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I think my cooking skills are not up to that level yet. I hope Your Majesty will find another wise man!"
Li Yuqian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Being a chef in the palace is a lucrative job. Not to mention the generous monthly salary, just being a chef can bring countless benefits.
Not only can you enjoy various preferential treatment in the palace, but you can also see the emperor often. If you can get the favor of the emperor, your future will be limitless!
But Lin Xiao refused. Is it possible that this young man is really proud?
Impossible. Looking at his age, how proud can he be?
Although Li Yujun was confused, he still kept a smile on his face. He believed that his charm could still conquer the other party.
He asked with a smile: "Working as an errand in the prince's palace is a good thing that everyone dreams of. Can you tell me why I refuse?"
"Prince Qi, I don't know how to cook!"
Lin Xiao honestly told the truth.
Li Yu's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if he was frightened.
He looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief and murmured to himself:
"Can't cook?"
What did he just hear?
This young man actually said he couldn’t cook!
Then what did he eat just now?!
"Actually, this is the secret to my delicious cooking!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Xiao presented a small bamboo tube engraved with a special totem to Li Yujun.
Li Yujun reached out and picked it up, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"This is……"
"salt."
Li Yujun's expression froze instantly, and his whole body was stiff for a long time before he uttered two words from between his teeth:
"salt?!"
Of course he knows about table salt.
If you just cook with salt, the taste will be extraordinary, but...
If you only use table salt, even the imperial salt will have a slight bitterness, but the dishes made by Lin Xiao have no bitterness at all and are extremely delicious.
Li Yujun carefully poured the salt from the bamboo tube into the palm of his hand.
Immaculately white!
Licking it carefully with the tip of my tongue.
Um!
Salty, fresh, no bitterness, very smooth.
This is definitely the best table salt, and it is definitely more delicious than the imperial salt!
this.
How can this be?!
Where did he get such top-quality table salt?
Li Yujun's heart was filled with questions.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao, trying to get some clues from Lin Xiao's face.
But apart from the calm and indifferent expression on Lin Xiao's face, there was nothing unusual at all, as if he was not surprised by Li Yujuan's shock.
"Where did you get all this top-quality table salt?"
Li Yujun couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiao smiled lightly when he heard this and replied:
"These things are not where I got them from, but I made them myself."
Li Yujuan was stunned when he heard this, with deep disbelief in his eyes:
Made it yourself?!
Li Yuyu carefully looked at the thin-skinned guy in front of him.
Could it be that he is the strange person mentioned by the Nine Emperors and Bai Zhancheng?
I remember that when he was ordered to go to the seaside town to investigate the cause of Zhao Xiao's death, he met Li Yuyan and Bai Zhancheng once.
In addition to discussing some important secrets, they also talked about a strange man who could transform ordinary crossbows into repeating crossbows and make his own salt.
At that time, Li Yujun thought that Li Yuyan had deliberately fabricated it in order to recruit him into the gang as soon as possible.
You must know that the art of making salt has always been mastered by their royal personnel, and outsiders cannot learn and make it at all!
So he always thought this was just a gimmick made up by Li Yuyan.
But what he never expected was that the strange man Li Yuyan and Bai Zhancheng talked about was standing in front of him at this moment!
