Pan Chenghou looked at Li Yu with an awkward expression, lamenting in his heart that his 80-year-old mother was stubborn, and this time she was losing face to King Anding.

"I was a person from the market, but I had never been to school and talked nonsense, but I made Shi Zhi laugh. Please forgive me for your crimes." Pan Chenghou said and wanted to kneel down.

"You stand up," Li Yu said softly. Didn't he just say the wrong sentence in Zhawen? Why should he kneel down?

After all, he is the soul of modern people, and he is really not used to kneeling down every day in this era.

Pan Chenghou's old face turned red, Shi Xubai said with a smile on his lips: "King..."

Li Yu's eyes turned and directly interrupted him: "Bai Letian has a poem that says: April in the world is gone, and peach blossoms in the mountain temple are blooming. You are not wrong..."

"Yes, yes, I'll take the blame first." Pan Chenghou saw Li Yu casually fulfilled it, and admired her and quickly escaped.

"Your Majesty, you are so literary." Shi Xubai praised.

Actually, this is a bit unreasonable. Where did the mountain come from on the plains?

But in the blink of an eye, I recited two lines of poetry in the blink of an eye, and this cleverness and knowledge should not be underestimated.

Shi Xubai's heart became more and more eager.

"It's a good idea, so please."

Li Yu immediately introduced four dishes and one soup to Shi Xubai one by one, which caused the latter to be amazed.

He and Han Xizai are close friends. The Han family is a wealthy family and have extremely particular daily diet, but no matter how particular he pays attention to the skills of famous chefs hundreds of years later.

Before he knew it, Shi Xubai fell into a state of nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

The four dishes look simple, not very complicated, and the name is simple and unpretentious.

Although the cooking at this time is not yet mature, there are quite a lot of tricks. Among them, the dishes used by dignitaries or royals not only require the cooking techniques with complex ingredients, but also have the name of this dish.

Such as

"Mando's cakes {Party stove.} Jushengnu {Sauce honey cold tools.} Brahmin light and high noodles {Carrot steamed.} Guifei red {Add red cream.} Seven rebate paste {Seven rolls made of four flowers may be cakes.}

南光全 {fish and sheep body.} 金站生花花 {vinegar.} Xijiang {steamed shoulder chips.}"

These dishes are just confused by the name of them. They must see the real thing before knowing what the dishes are.

Shi Xubai has always been opposed to this dish name, believing that he has lost his original intention by losing the crowd.

Seeing that Li Yu’s dishes are simple and concise, and he pointed out the ingredients and cooking techniques at once, he felt a little appreciated in his heart.

He repeatedly praised him for being a real person who does not do anything stupid.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Don't be busy praising me first. I have carefully studied a good dish called Buddha Jumping over the wall. There are more than a dozen ingredients alone, and I can't list them one by one, so I can only blaspheme the Bodhisattva."

Shi Xubai laughed: "I heard that the king is good at Buddha, aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame him for being named like this?"

"What's the matter? It's true that the Buddha is good. It's just that it's simple and uncontradicting sentient beings that make people convinced. If the monks in the temple shout and beat and kill because of Zhang Sandu Buddha and Li Si destroying the scriptures all day long, it would be contrary to the classics. It should be noted that Taoism, Buddhism, and even Confucianism all advocate the right and wrong, and the right and wrong are in the hearts of the world. If violence is used to suppress it, it would be a cult!"

When introducing the pig-bellied chicken, Li Yu slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot."

Then he stood up and took out a small silver bottle from the shelf next to him.

Unscrew the lid and a strong fragrance emanates.

"Pepper?" Shi Xubai said.

"That's right, sprinkle some pepper into this pork belly chicken soup, which makes it more delicious."

"The king has trouble."

Pepper is a tropical crop and is not produced in China, and all should be imported.

Originally, they took the Silk Road 6, but after the Battle of Talas, the Anshi Rebellion was the recession, the Tang Dynasty's national strength declined, Tubo took advantage of the situation to rise, and the Silk Road was almost broken.

Another one is waterway, imported from South China Ocean, but the southern route is windy and waves are harsh. The shipbuilding technology at this time has not yet been perfect. It is a good idea to get back half of the ten ships out.

Such high transportation costs make pepper valuable.

The wealthy businessmen even used it as treasures to pass on it.

Ordinary people don't get it.

When Shi Xubai saw Li Yu take out the pepper, he knew that he really valued him, but it was nothing compared to cooking in person.

Sure enough, after the pepper is ground into the soup, the finishing touch is immediately added. The freshness of the chicken and the plump pork belly are mixed with the slightly scented aroma of the pepper, and it immediately becomes one, turning into an unprecedented fragrance that penetrates into the nose.

"Okay, please use it." Li Yu stretched out his hand to signal.

Shi Xubai was not polite either. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sauce and smashed pork liver and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is also a dish that can eat fire medicine. It is the most difficult to cook. If the heat is not good, the blood will not be gone, and the taste will be fishy and stinky. If the heat is too bad, it will become old and hard again. It seems that it has been a cooking cake for several days in your mouth.

If the fire is smaller, it will be cooked outside and raw inside. If the fire is larger, it will easily burn.

Li Yu put a lot of effort into cooking this dish in his previous life, wasting countless pig livers.

It’s really the efforts of the previous life that have brought about the results of this life.

This sounds like promoting feudal superstition, but in fact it is full of positive energy, but unfortunately even the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty could not understand it.

Li Yu tsk his mouth and ate a piece.

"Well, it's pretty good. The heat is basically home-friendly. Although the taste of the sauce is a bit strange compared to the previous life, it is also a feature of the times..."

This was the first time Shi Xubai had such a delicious food. After swallowing it in three mouthfuls, he picked up a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of his appearance.

Li Yu looked at him and laughed secretly.

It is also a blessing for the Chinese to point out the skill tree of making iron pots, which evolved into the strange Chinese cuisine, a catering industry.

With the iron pot, stir-frying, the most Chinese-style cooking method, quickly replaced stewing and barbecue, and became the most mainstream method.

Frying makes the ingredients cook quickly without getting too old. It is most suitable for cooking various meat dishes, especially meat dishes are rich in animal fat. When it is repeatedly heated in an iron pot, the fat gradually oozing out. Various colors of seasoning dissolve and are absorbed again, while the other part is wrapped around the ingredients.

As soon as you enter the mouth, the salty and umami taste comes from the inside, far from comparable to the dipping sauce-style seasoning.

Shi Xubai kept chopsticks and even more mouthfuls, and he had to keep praising him while chewing.

I almost bit my tongue several times...

Li Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Shi, please try other dishes?"

...

After the meal, Shi Xubai let go and ate hard. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to lick the plates.

"Since Shi Duke likes it, I will teach you a few disciples in the future and send them to the mansion. How about cooking in different ways every day?"

"This is the best!"

Shi Xubai changed his previous polite attitude and expressed his unceremonious agreement.

Li Yu was stunned and then was ecstatic. The other party no longer regarded himself as an outsider.

Shi Xubai saw Li Yu's facial expression in his eyes, and when he saw him laughing, he laughed too.

He stood up and bowed to the ground, "Lu Xing Shi Xubai paid homage to King Anding, and was willing to serve the king."

This is what I want!

Looking at my pig brain, I would like to thank all the readers who gave me the reward as usual. I accepted it with shame. In fact, it was delayed for a while, so I couldn't thank you all the same. I'm really embarrassed.
Chapter completed!
