Chapter 700 What Is the Relationship Between Potatoes and Silk?
Chapter 700 What is the relationship between potatoes and silk?
"Oh, this is the dipping sauce for crabs. Once the crabs are steamed, you can dip them in them and eat them."
Muchuan was demonstrating how to remove shrimp floss, raised his head and said.
Everyone else was stunned, even those who were imitating Muchuan's shrimp removal method stopped what they were doing.
Muchuan glanced at everyone suspiciously.
"Master Mu, why don't you let us retreat?"
"Yes, we all saw it, what should we do?"
"Master Mu, spare your life, we didn't mean to see it!"
After saying this, several people knelt down and began to kowtow.
"Fuzi, tell me, what's going on?"
Muchuan couldn't stop him, so he called Fuzi up.
"Sir, as for the rules of the imperial kitchen, handymen cannot imitate the rules of the master!"
Fuzi's face was obviously not good. He was afraid of being suppressed by his supervisor. If Master Mu blamed him, could he still stay in the imperial dining room?
The others had the same idea as Fuzi and couldn't help but tremble all over.
A trace of anger flashed in Muchuan's eyes. He originally thought that he had caused inconvenience to his supervisor by using the imperial kitchen, so the supervisor was hostile.
Now that they saw Fuzi and the others looking at how to make the sauce, they were so frightened. This clearly shows how harshly this supervisor treats them.
"Are you all people who have no skills and can only do odd jobs?"
Muchuan asked.
"That's not necessarily true. I was promoted to the imperial dining room because I was a good fisherman."
"I am good at making pastries."
"I love to eat noodles, so everyone loves to eat the noodles I made since I was a kid."
"Fuzi is the one who knows how to cook the most here. In the beginning, the imperial concubine ate Fuzi's cooking every day! It was so glorious!"
Everyone was talking in a flurry, and some of them got so excited that they even forgot that they were still kneeling and stood up unconsciously.
"Then why are you all doing odd jobs now, and you don't seem to be in a good situation."
"The supervisor asked us to be filial to him. We didn't have much money to show filial piety, so he asked us to give him the prescription. When we gave the prescription, we became the lowest class of people."
"If you don't give it, you will be ostracized by him and cause trouble. The supervisor put something in the food that Fuzi gave to the imperial concubine. Although the imperial concubine did not blame her, she will never order Fuzi's food again."
Someone spoke for Fuzi with red eyes, but Fuzi stood aside, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"Today I am going to make food for His Majesty. Each of you can make what you are good at."
"In addition, all of my cooking processes can be learned by each of you. As long as you use them well, you will always be successful."
Muchuan glanced at everyone and said calmly.
Everyone was very surprised after hearing it. Of course, they only paid attention to the first sentence. As for the second sentence, their expectations were not high.
After all, no matter how delicious the food an official cooks, can it be as delicious as what they cook?
Muchuan didn't care what they thought. After saying this, he continued to guide others in their work.
Muchuan's unreserved attitude made everyone in the imperial dining room feel grateful.
Forget it, Master Mu also has good intentions, let’s learn from it.
In the pavilion, Li Shimin looked at his palace, which was filled with red flowers and green willows, and was peaceful and felt very comfortable.
He ate a piece of snack and felt that it was really sweet to his heart.
"My dear friends, how do you eat the potatoes that Master Mu mentioned?"
Li Shimin leaned on the backrest of the pavilion and asked lazily.
"I think it should be pounded into powder like flour before eating."
"No, I thought you had to bite it like a steamed bun."
Two ministers from the Ministry of Industry said.
Li Shimin nodded, but did not comment on these two answers.
His thoughts returned to the boxes one after another.
These treasures all belong to his Tang Dynasty!
"What does this smell like?
It’s a little sour, a little spicy, and smells pretty good.”
A minister whispered.
"Um?
Go and ask me, what kind of dish is this?"
Li Shimin was very happy and quickly appointed an attendant.
It wasn't that he was hungry and wanted to eat, but he was really curious and surprised. Is this the dish cooked by Master Mu?
Unheard of!
Sure enough, after a while, an attendant ran in, carrying a food box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Master Mu said, this is potato shreds."
After the attendant finished speaking, he placed the food box on the table.
potato floss?
How can these round and rolling potatoes be related to silk?
However, the spicy and sour fragrance penetrates the nose all the time, and many people can't help but take a sip.
Li Shimin sat up with interest and opened the lid to take a look.
Isn’t it just silk?
The strands are clear and translucent, with green onion strands and red strands mixed inside, making them very appetizing.
"Come on, let's have a taste."
As Li Shimin spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
“Spicy, sour and refreshing, delicious!”
Li Shimin praised.
"Wei Chen, come and try it too."
The county prince said, and couldn't wait to take a bite. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were not to be outdone.
As soon as a few big guys picked up their chopsticks, other ministers immediately crowded over to pick up the food.
"delicious!"
"Is this really Master Mu's handiwork?"
"I didn't expect Master Mu to be so talented in cooking!"
“This shredded potato is absolutely amazing!”
Li Shimin saw that several ministers were having a great time eating, and he was too embarrassed to pick up any more food.
It doesn't matter, as long as he wants to eat, Master Mu will cook it for him.
"Why don't Master Mu come out?
Isn’t this all done?”
Li Shimin asked curiously.
He was very satisfied with this dish, and Muchuan could come out of the imperial kitchen.
"Back to Your Majesty, Master Mu still has a lot of dishes to cook."
The attendant replied below.
Is there any dish that tastes better than shredded potatoes?
Soon, another strong fragrance came out.
In the imperial dining room, Fuzi stared at a large plate of spicy and sour fish fillets without blinking.
He just followed Master Mu the whole way, but he seemed to have learned it and yet he didn't.
Why can fish meat be sliced out?
The fish bone soup was much richer than he had ever experienced.
And why does this thing called chili smell so good when fried but also fragrant when oil is poured on it?
Li Shimin outside the pavilion learned the lesson of potato shreds this time and asked someone to bring a small bowl and scooped himself a bowl full of spicy and sour fish.
This time, it’s a whole new experience, it’s also spicy and sour, but it’s completely different from shredded potatoes!
The soup tastes extremely delicious, and the fish meat is smooth and tender. This bowl of spicy and sour fish was quickly devoured.
Two plates of delicious food that had never been tasted before completely opened everyone's taste buds.
All the delicious things I ate in the past are covered in memory today.
From now on, all their delicious memories are in Master Mu’s hands!
Soon, under their burning eyes, the attendant brought the third portion, spicy lobster!
Muchuan followed and climbed into the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, please let me show you how to eat this lobster."
