Chapter 87 In the Royal Kitchen
"Little guy, we're here by ourselves. This is not a place you can come. If your master knows that you're here, he will have to hit you." Wang Xuan smiled and picked up the fat man, pinching his little face to tease him.
"Uncle, don't! Confucius is so fierce. Don't tell him. Qingque really wants to eat the dishes you cook." Sure enough, when Wang Xuan was so funny, Li Tai had a bitter face, looked around cleverly, and then said to Wang Xuan in a low voice.
"Hahaha, you little guy, okay, my uncle knows, and I will make delicious food for you right away, but you can't stay here, go back and wait honestly. When my uncle is ready, I will send it to you. OK?" Wang Xuan saw Li Tai's clever look, smiled even more happily, and pinched his little face in a doting way, and said to him.
"Uncle, you can't lie to Qingque! And uncle, can you make more? My elder brother and sister didn't eat that either." Li Tai looked at Wang Xuan with anticipation after saying that.
"Okay, my uncle promised you, you should send the prince back to the palace quickly, and in the future, the few people in these places will bring the prince here." Wang Xuan first agreed to Li Tai, and then arrived at Li Tai's personal palace maid.
"I understand, I will take His Highness to the Palace, and I hope the prince will calm down." Li Tai's personal palace maid was said by Wang Xuan, and he quickly saluted Wang Xuan respectfully.
"Go! Qingque is the same." After saying that, Wang Xuan handed Li Tai over to the palace maid, and then waved goodbye to Li Tai.
After Li Tai left, Wang Xuan walked into the gate of the imperial kitchen. When he entered, the feeling of being big. After all, this imperial kitchen is a place for so many noble people in the palace to eat. How can it not be big?
"Put down all the work in your hands and come here." After sighing, Wang Xuan called out to all the chefs and helpers in the imperial kitchen.
Hearing Wang Xuan's words, Ruyi and Luoyang, who came out of the Princess' Mansion, and the chefs who had studied at Wang Xuan's mansion, ran to Wang Xuan one by one and saluted Wang Xuan respectfully.
Instead, the other chefs walked towards Wang Xuan lazily, and it seemed that they didn't take Wang Xuan seriously, and they didn't even know who Wang Xuan was.
"Li Fu, go outside and ask someone to drive away all these guys. If the guards outside can't call him, go find Li Lao Er and say that his servants have a high status and I can't call him, so let him invite him by himself." Looking at the lazy chefs, Wang Xuan ordered Li Fu with a cold face.
Li Fu, who received the order, replied and turned around and was about to leave. This scared Cao Zhang, the eunuch in the imperial kitchen manager who went to invite Wang Xuan this morning, so he quickly stopped Li Fu and knelt down at Wang Xuan, "Shunting your anger, the prince consort calms down, let them come here."
"Mr. Cao is not in charge. I don't like to use such arrogant people. I'd better change them! Li Fu, why are you still standing there?" Wang Xuan said coldly regardless of Cao Zhang's plea.
Cao Zhang was really panicked now, and even the chefs and helpers were panicked. At the same time, they now understood Wang Xuan's identity, ran to Wang Xuan one by one, knelt in front of Wang Xuan and begged Wang Xuan for his life. After all, this matter really alarmed Wang De, and at this critical moment, they all lost their lives.
"Li Fu is back, you all remember this prince-consort. Doing things under this prince-consort, and giving it a prince-consort a little more brisk. Next time, that's not the case." Wang Xuan looked at the chef and the helper who knelt aside in front of him and said to them coldly.
"Young people understand, thank you, Mr. Concubine for forgiveness." When he heard that it was fine, the chefs and helpers kowtowed to Wang Xuan and thanked him.
"Okay, now my prince consort will arrange today's dishes and what you have to do..." Wang Xuan began to arrange it.
This time no one dared to neglect Wang Xuan anymore, they were all so obedient.
In fact, Wang Xuan would do this, not because he wanted to show off his power, but because he had to conquer these people first. Otherwise, if there were so many dishes today, they would have a big mistake. After all, Wang Xuan could not do anything by himself, so he would first start to intimidate these guys.
As expected, the effect was pretty good. Everyone was obedient. No one dared to say no to Wang Xuan's orders.
Soon, under Wang Xuan's arrangement, Ruyi Luoyang led the team and began the preliminary preparations.
Today, Wang Xuan designed the menu for the dinner is also very simple, including mutton, braised pork, clear soup fish balls, Sixi meatballs, medicinal chicken stewed, three seasonal vegetables, other snacks, etc. Wang Xuan ignored it and asked Cao Zhang to arrange it.
After the arrangement was made, Wang Xuan took Ruyi Luo Yang and others to make a copy first. After the preparation, he directly sent it to Li Tai, and then guided Luo Yang and the others to do it. After they basically mastered it, Wang Xuan was responsible for controlling the taste. Until Luo Yang and others learned it, they started to work hard.
As for Wang Xuan, he was like an old man, asked Li Fu to bring the lounge chair he brought from his house, sit leisurely at the door, holding a teapot in his hand and drinking tea. From time to time, he went in to see what they prepared and how they tasted.
In fact, Wang Xuan would choose these dishes. In addition to the ingredients, the most important thing is that most of these dishes are soup dishes, and he will not worry about getting cold after a long time.
Of course, Wang Xuan was not the only dish to Luoyang for making. He also made a recipe by himself, and what he made was prepared for Li Shimin and others.
After working like this all morning, Wang Xuan was completely idle, until after the dinner started in the evening, the order to serve the food came from the front, and Wang Xuan led Luoyang and others to work hard.
As the dishes were taken away by the palace maids, after Wang Xuan finished stir-frying the last garlic spinach, he put the pot and drank it with his teapot. As for Luo Yang and others, they were still stir-frying. After all, they didn't want Wang Xuan to cook for Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and others. They wanted to stir-fry dishes of hundreds of people. Although it was only three vegetarian dishes, it was enough for them to cook for a while.
At this time, in front of Liangyi Hall, as the dishes were served one by one, looking at the dishes on the table that they had never seen before, the knowledgeable ministers were stunned and looked at Li Shimin one by one.
"Your Majesty, what are these dishes? Why have I never seen them before? I would like to ask Your Majesty to answer questions for my ministers and others." One of the rough-looking men asked Li Shimin directly.
"I have never seen these dishes before. They were all made by Princess Changguang's son-in-law Wang Xuan. Why don't I ask Wang Xuan to go to the palace to introduce him to us! Wang De will go to invite Wang Xuan to the palace." Li Shimin explained to the ministers in the palace, and then asked Wang De to go to invite Wang Xuan.
