"Father, you came here today and you haven't eaten yet. I happen to be making braised pork, so why don't you stay and eat some."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
This is the first time Fan'er has been left to eat alone!
Emperor Chongzhen was so excited that he was speechless. Wang Chengen on the side naturally saw that Lin Fan had a good impression of Emperor Chongzhen!
The father-son relationship between the two deepened a lot. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't had lunch yet, so please stay and eat some."
"Okay! I'll stay and taste your braised pork."
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
Lin Fan said, took away some cinnamon bark, star anise, and fragrant leaves, and turned around to make braised pork.
Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Fan'er, these are medicinal materials, what do you do with them?"
"These are medicinal materials, but they are also auxiliary ingredients when cooking meat, and braised pork is indispensable for these spices."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
He took the things and left. Half an hour later, Lin Fan came over with a pot of meat. From a distance, Emperor Chongzhen could smell the aroma of meat.
When the braised pork was placed in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen was almost drooling. Wang Chengen swallowed a big mouthful of saliva with difficulty and looked at the braised pork eagerly.
Lin Fan gave Emperor Chongzhen a pair of chopsticks. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"too delicious!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
This was the first time for Emperor Chongzhen to eat such fat and tender meat, and it was very well stewed. More importantly, the meat was actually sweet.
wrong!
There is also chili pepper in it. Shouldn’t these two flavors conflict with each other?
But why is it so subtly integrated into the meat?
Then, Emperor Chongzhen started eating. Seeing Wang Chengen watching eagerly, Lin Fan picked up a few pieces for Wang Chengen, put them in a bowl and gave them to him.
"Eunuch Wang, please eat a few pieces too."
Lin Fan said.
"Ouch! Your Royal Highness, this, this cannot be done."
Wang Chengen quickly retreated and knelt on the ground.
Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince gave it to you, you can eat it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, His Royal Highness!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly thanked him, then picked up the braised pork and started eating it. After one bite, Wang Chengen suddenly felt like he had arrived in heaven!
The taste was indescribable. Wang Chengen's mouth was drooling more and more. He ate it with big mouthfuls and finished the braised pork. He felt like eating it even more.
Lin Fan sat opposite Emperor Chongzhen and looked at him and said, "Father, how does this braised pork taste?"
"Delicious! What kind of meat is this made of?"
It doesn't taste like beef or mutton to me. Could it be some game you caught?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"This is pork."
Lin Fan said.
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. He chewed carefully and said, "No, pork should have some fishy smell. Although your pigs have been castrated and have no fishy smell, they shouldn't have any fishy smell at all!" "
Emperor Chongzhen had previously known what the meat quality of Lin Fan's castrated pigs was, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't take it seriously. Now that he ate it, he found that the taste was not that good.
"Pork is just like that. Those guys in the Hanlin Academy are really mad at me. They actually said that pork is poisonous. I have to cook meat for them tomorrow."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"What's the meaning?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
The great scholars in the Hanlin Academy said that Lin Fan's pork was poisonous, but he didn't believe it, but the people already believed it, and this couldn't be proven in a short time.
Emperor Chongzhen came here today just to persuade Lin Fan not to take this matter too seriously. Pigs can be raised after a few years. As a result, Lin Fan said that he wanted to invite a scholar from the Hanlin Academy to eat meat?
What kind of trick is this?
"It's not interesting. Tomorrow, at the vegetable market, I will kill the pigs on the spot and make braised pork on the spot for the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to eat, so that all the people will believe that this pork is non-toxic."
Lin Fan said.
Forehead!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan in shock and said: "Fan'er, do you think those great scholars in the Hanlin Academy are fools?
Will they listen to you?"
The great scholars in the Hanlin Academy didn't even listen to their own words, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe that Lin Fan could order them.
"Haha! Your Majesty, I am the teacher of those great Confucians. They are my disciples. Respecting teachers and teachings is the rule of Confucian disciples. If they dare not follow it, I will publicize it and discredit them!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Haha! You kid can actually use such despicable methods!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Despicable?
Your Majesty, this is not despicable, this is called means. If I don't do something ruthless, these scornful people will not know how arrogant they will be."
Lin Fan said.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded. After a while, the pot of braised pork was completely eaten. Emperor Chongzhen was also full. He patted his stomach and stood up, ready to leave.
Lin Fan said: "Your Majesty, if you want to eat braised pork in the future, you can come to Lin Mansion more often."
"You brat, you were talking about your father just now, and now you change your mind?"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Lin Fan said: "Rules!"
"Huh! You just know the rules, that's all. I will come here often from now on."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Then, Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen returned to the palace, while Lin Fan returned to the kitchen, with a second pot of braised pork sitting in the pot.
This pot is a secret braised pork. It contains not only various spices, but also some medicinal materials that can nourish the body. It is specially given to Nalan Yanran.
He returned to the room with a pot of braised pork. At this time, Nalan Yanran was waiting for Lin Fan in the room.
"Ms. sir, why did you come back just now? Did His Majesty just leave?"
Nalan Yanran asked.
"Your Majesty has just left. I made this pot of braised pork specially for you. Eat it quickly."
Lin Fan said.
Nalan Yanran walked to the braised pork and sniffed it hard. Instantly, she was almost intoxicated by the refreshing aroma.
Lin Fan saw that Nalan Yanran's saliva was almost dripping into the braised pork, and said with a smile: "Why don't you hurry up and eat what you are always watching?"
Nalan Yanran nodded, picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks, and put it into her mouth. Nalan Yanran looked intoxicated and enjoying it.
"Ms. sir, this meat is so delicious!"
Nalan Yanran said.
"It's delicious. I will cook it for you more often in the future."
Lin Fan said.
"Hey! My husband is the best to me!"
Nalan Yanran smiled like a child.
Little did he know that at this time, there were more than a dozen people approaching quickly outside the Lin Mansion. In the hands of these people, each of them was carrying some strange tools.
"This is the Lin Mansion. According to the information we got, that bitch Prince is in the mansion right now."
One person said in a cold voice, with murderous intent in his eyes.
