After being so busy for such a long time, I finally got to the afternoon meal.

Liu Ao was led by Wang Mang to the private greenhouse deep in the manor.

In this greenhouse, everything has been prepared and waiting for Liu Ao's arrival.

Liu Ao sat in the highest position in the greenhouse, looking at the delicacies on the table in front of him, and couldn't help but move his index finger. Although he didn't exert much strength today, he also spent a lot.

Therefore, when he saw these delicacies, his physical reaction was honest. He felt that he had not tasted such delicious food for a long time.

Liu Ao carefully scooped out a spoonful of vegetable soup from the Gui, and tasted the taste of the fresh winter vegetables.

After feeling the delicious taste of these fresh vegetables, Liu Ao couldn't help but praise: "It's really the best flavor in the world!"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Brother, the delicacies in this Gui are newly picked auspicious vegetables. This soup uses the simplest cooking method in order to retain the original taste of the vegetables."

After Liu Ao heard Wang Mang talk about the cooking method of this soup, he praised: "This method is wonderful! It seems to be simple cooking but it maintains the best taste of the dish. It is really the most brilliant method!"

Wang Mang smiled again and echoed Liu Ao's praise.

In fact, dogs will not eat this kind of boiled green vegetables in future generations.

However, it was different in the Han Dynasty. The cooking methods in the Han Dynasty were nothing more than roasting and boiling. As for the iron pot stir-fry that was common in later generations, it did not gradually appear until the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that before the Song Dynasty, the land of China, which has a long history of five thousand years and civilization, was still a food desert!

If any modern person tries the dishes before this, they will definitely be intolerable.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see why during the Han and Tang Dynasties, pepper from the Western Regions could be sold at a high price for the same amount of gold.

Because the ancients also liked wonderful tastes, but although the Central Plains is large, the seasonings are not good. Only with the blessing of the exotic flavors of the Western Region can it be called delicious food!

Fortunately, Wang Mang is a soul piercer, and his body is adapted to the extremely bland cooking of this era. Otherwise, Wang Mang would have gone crazy.

But even so, it couldn't stop Wang Mang from complaining about the blandness of Han Dynasty dishes.

While Liu Ao was still happily sipping the vegetable soup in the gui, a very special dish was brought up by the servant.

As soon as this dish appeared, it caught Liu Ao's attention. Liu Ao looked at the strange tableware held in the servant's hands, couldn't help but stopped and asked: "What is this?"

Wang Mang explained at the side: "Brother, this is a new delicacy in Yudi's manor. It is served on a delicate dinner plate. In order to keep the taste, a semi-circular plate cover is placed on top of the dinner plate to suppress it.

It enhances the taste of the delicacies and at the same time keeps the delicacies from losing their temperature and losing flavor in the cold twelfth lunar month."

Liu Ao's eyes brightened even more after hearing Wang Mang's explanation. This was the first time he had seen such strange tableware, and he couldn't help but feel it was extremely novel.

In fact, this kind of tableware is a new tableware designed by Wang Mang imitating the tableware of later generations. This kind of tableware is just an ordinary tableware that is common in star-rated hotels in later generations.

But in the Han Dynasty, it still had a slightly novel meaning.

After the servant brought the dinner plate to Liu Ao's dining table, the servant respectfully and carefully opened the semicircular cover on the dinner plate. Suddenly, a smell that had never appeared in Liu Ao's memory came to him.

It hit his face and nose, and Liu Ao was immediately amazed by the aroma of this dish!

Liu Ao was surprised and said: "How can you cook this delicacy?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "Brother, taste the delicacies first, and my foolish brother will tell you slowly."

Liu Ao looked at the delicious food on the plate. His stomach, which was already filled with water, suddenly seemed to feel hungry again. Even the saliva in his mouth secreted unconsciously, and he wanted to taste the delicious food on the plate immediately.

Delicious.

Liu Ao excitedly used the chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it into his mouth. The delicious taste of the green vegetables immediately filled Liu Ao's mouth, giving him an unparalleled feeling of tasting a peerless delicacy.

!

Liu Ao couldn't help but speed up picking up the food, no longer worrying about those elegant eating etiquette.

Seeing Liu Ao eating so happily, Wang Mang also had a smile on his face.

At this time Wang Mang explained: "Brother, the cooking of this dish is different from the usual dishes. It is stir-fried in an iron pot. When stir-frying, the seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar used to enhance the flavor of the dish are cooked according to the stir-frying method.

Just put in the amount you need at the time to make this garlic greens dish so delicious!"

Yes, it is such a simple dish, even without meat, but it still fooled Liu Ao.

The most important reason why Liu Ao was able to be fooled so easily was because of Wang Mang’s golden finger ability as a time traveler!

Wang Mang took full advantage of the generational differences in cooking development and achieved such amazing results by simply upgrading the dishes of the Han Dynasty.

This is like the development of cavalry and the sudden appearance of stirrups. Although stirrups are extremely simple, their appearance has fundamentally reversed the gap between cavalry and infantry, making cavalry one of the most popular arms for nearly 1,500 years.

King!

Therefore, although this kind of simple stir-fry was common in later generations, it was definitely unique in the Han Dynasty!

When this simple stir-fry dish appeared on Liu Ao's dining table, with its rich and full flavor, it instantly overwhelmed those Han Dynasty dishes that were mainly boiled, steamed and grilled!

How can these boiled vegetables be outstanding without the blessing of MSG, chicken essence, bay leaf, star anise and other aniseed ingredients? Therefore, Wang Mang’s simple garlic greens dish has completed the tasteless taste of the Han Dynasty with a killer attitude.

Crush boiled vegetables!

Liu Ao praised the delicious dish while eating. He had never tasted such a full and delicious stir-fry dish full of fireworks.

Just as Liu Ao was eating this extremely simple garlic greens dish, the servant brought out another dish.

This time, Liu Ao didn't even wait for the servant to open the lid of the dinner plate for him, and opened it himself.

Suddenly, another strong and unique smell hit the surface. Liu Ao looked at the golden fried tofu on the plate, and his saliva flowed down again.

Tofu is a food invented by Liu An, King of Huainan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It has been developed for more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, tofu has been a common ingredient, and Liu Ao is no stranger to it.

But this was the first time Liu Ao had seen tofu fried to golden brown like this.

Feeling the tangy aroma, Liu Ao couldn't help but pick up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth to feel it carefully.

This feeling suddenly made Liu Ao's eyes light up. He never expected that just after making some changes in the cooking method, the taste of these ingredients would change so drastically!

In this regard, Liu Ao couldn't help but praise Wang Mang's arrangement again!

He never expected that under Wang Mang's arrangement, although there would be no fun of cockfighting and horseback riding, nor the company of silk and bamboo orchestra singers, the level of pleasure he enjoyed would not diminish at all, and he seemed to be even happier than when he left the palace.
Chapter completed!
