Borrowing the Imperial Kitchen Room

On her farm, every household raises pigs, with the smallest one raising five or six pigs.

The one with the most heads is naturally her, who looks like she has more than thirty heads.

However, she did not raise it herself, but asked the people below to raise it.

Because there are so many pigs raised and there is no place to sell them for the time being, the farmer on the farm will kill one from time to time so that he can eat it himself or sell it to people on the farm.

It's considered a tooth-bashing festival for the big guys.

"They are determined."

"Okay, give some of each kind, pack it up, take it with you and follow me to the palace."

"Enter the palace?"

Qiu Yu was startled.

"Well, let's go give His Majesty the Emperor some pork to try."

"Hasn't the farm always been concerned that pork cannot be taken away? If your majesty eats happily this time, the pigs on the farm can be exchanged for money."

"You might even get a lot of rewards."

Pig, this is a good thing that can greatly improve people's living standards.

Nowadays, in Dongzhou, because pork is not eaten, the meat that people can eat on weekdays is relatively simple.

Most of them are based on mutton, chicken, duck, and fish. Some good families can also eat beef if they encounter disabled, old, sick, or dead cows.

Next is the meat obtained from hunting.

Generally speaking, there is very little meat on people's tables.

If pork can be popularized, it will definitely be a great achievement. It will not only help the farmers on her farm, but also allow her to harvest the raw materials for making soap, and also help the people all over the world.

Qiu Yu quickly packed her things.

He and Lu Yaoyao rode the carriage straight to the palace.

Wanfu Xiangjun has the privilege of entering the walking palace only, and the guards at the palace gate are also very polite to her.

Seeing her coming, I quickly called for the little eunuch to lead the way.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wanfu Township is outside asking for an audience."

In the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen was reviewing memorials.

Hearing Li De's voice, he slowly raised his head and frowned slightly.

Apparently he was still dissatisfied with Lu Yaoyao's lack of appreciation during the performance.

"Let her in."

Not long after, Lu Yaoyao came in with Qiu Yu.

"My dearest servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live."

Qiu Yu beside him also saluted Lu Yaoyao and shouted long live together.

"Get flat."

Emperor Hongwen looked at Lu Yaoyao with a smile.

"Why do you have time to see me today, Wanfu?"

"Look, did you bring me something?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and I have brought you some food that I cooked for you."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen became interested and glanced at the things Qiu Yu was carrying.

"Just eating?"

"Of course there are some other things, but please let Rongchen go out of your way first and explain it to His Majesty later."

Emperor Hongwen laughed.

"Li De, guess what Wanfu will give you this time?"

"Your Majesty's old slave can guess that Mr. Wanfu Xiang has always done something unusual, and I'm afraid this time it will be extraordinary."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwen was startled. Thinking about the things Wanfu Xiangjun had given him earlier, he nodded secretly.

It is indeed extraordinary, and if this time it is not ordinary either.

His eyes lit up slightly.

"Your Majesty, before I explain, I need to ask your Majesty to borrow something."

"Oh? What can I borrow? Just ask."

"Actually, it's nothing special. It's just that these foods are relatively new, and I would like to use His Majesty's royal dining room."

Emperor Hongwen was stunned and immediately remembered that she had said that the gift was food.

"Li De, please take Wanfu over."

Li De stepped forward quickly.

Lu Yaoyao saluted Qiu Yu and then followed Li De out.

With Li De, the imperial chief steward, following him, the people in the imperial dining room were very attentive and respectful to Lu Yaoyao and his servants.

Lu Yaoyao started cooking by himself, while Qiu Yu helped with the cooking.

Li De has also been waiting by the side.

After working for more than half an hour, Lu Yaoyao prepared four dishes.

They are all dishes from her previous life, including stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, steamed bacon ribs, sliced ​​sausages, and cold braised pig ears.

"Xiangjun is really good at cooking. Look at how this dish is made. It's really delicious, delicious and tasty."

Li De looked at the four dishes in amazement, swallowed without trace, then looked at Lu Yaoyao and exclaimed.

"Yeah, this bacon is good, it tastes amazing."

"It's really good. Just smelling this fragrance makes your mouth water."

"May I ask Mr. Xiang, what kind of meat do you use to make this?"

"Yeah, it doesn't look like mutton, nor does it look like beef."

While all the chefs in the imperial dining room were full of praise, they were also curious about what kind of meat this bacon was made of.

We have introduced common meats before. Although there are other meats in the imperial dining room, most of them cannot escape those categories.

But they couldn't understand the bacon that Lu Yaoyao brought.

"This is a secret. I can't tell you yet, but I believe it won't take long for you to know."

With that said, she asked Qiu Yu to bring the food box and put all four dishes on it.

Then he followed Li De and left the imperial dining room.

Although they left, the people in the imperial kitchen were still discussing what kind of meat it was.

There was still some food left from Lu Yaoyao's cooking just now, so the imperial chef came forward to taste it.

It's a pity that even though they usually eat a lot of meat, they didn't know what kind of meat this was.

In the imperial study room.

Li De entered the briefing first and briefly reported what he had just seen in the imperial dining room.

"Oh? Is it really that powerful?"

"No matter what you say, I feel hungry. Please let Mr. Wanfuxiang come in."

After a while, Lu Yaoyao took out the four dishes prepared by himself and placed them on the table.

The unique aroma of bacon spreads instantly.

Emperor Hongwen twitched his nose, nodded with satisfaction, and moved his index finger for a while.

Seeing him like this, Li De quickly stepped forward to try the dishes and waited until he tried them one by one.

Emperor Hongwen couldn't wait to use his chopsticks.

First add the sausage on the side.

"Okay, salty and delicious, not bad."

As he said that, he started to pick up the other three dishes and waited until he tasted them one by one.

"Wanfu's cooking skills are really extraordinary, even compared to my imperial kitchen."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded, and continued: "My daughter's cooking skills cannot be compared with those of the master chefs in the imperial kitchen."

“Mainly starting to rely on good ingredients.”

"Your Majesty, can you taste what kind of meat this is?"

Emperor Hongwen immediately thought about it as he was told, but without even noticing, he moved his chopsticks again, once, twice, until three times, he still couldn't taste what kind of meat it was.

"This meat is both fat and lean. It doesn't have the mutton smell, nor does it smell like beef. I haven't guessed what kind of meat it is."

Having said this, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Lu Yaoyao.

"Just now Wanfu said that he brought something else, could it be this meat?"

After all, as an emperor, your brain reacts quickly.

"Exactly."

"Oh? What kind of meat is this?"

Not only Emperor Hongwen was curious, but Li De and the people waiting around were also curious. The scent of wax just now was too alluring.
