In fact, old Sichuan cuisine is not all spicy dishes, there are many other flavors.
Similarly, some of these old Sichuan dishes are very cumbersome, modern people only pay attention to efficiency, and few people are willing to do these cumbersome and troublesome dishes, so many old Sichuan dishes gradually disappeared from the public. Life.
Li Xiaoran was fortunate enough to taste the old Sichuan cuisine made by some food lovers who promote Lao Sichuan cuisine, but the taste is not as good as it is now.
I have to say that the royal chef is the royal chef, and any dish will taste top-notch.
Li Xiaoran ate it in one bite, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally let out a long sigh.
"I am narrow-minded! The dishes in Shu are not only spicy, but other dishes are also quite delicious!"
Fan Dechang heard Li Xiaoran's words, from the original respect, to the current approval.
"The Seventh Prince's Concubine is right. When the world hears about Shu, they think our dishes are all spicy dishes. But in addition to spicy dishes, our other dishes are also very delicious. It's a pity, The world rarely sees it. At first, every time I heard someone say this, I would explain it, but unfortunately it is difficult to reverse the inherent impression of the world. In addition, these dishes are cumbersome and difficult to prepare, so many Sichuan dishes The cooks don't make these Sichuan dishes anymore!"
Speaking of this, Fan Dechang also sighed.
As a cook, I always hope that all delicious things can be passed down.
However, seeing that there are fewer and fewer cooks who can cook authentic Sichuan dishes, Fan Dechang also has a helpless sadness.
Li Xiaoran could feel the regret in Fan Decheng's heart, she remembered something, so she said: "Fan Yuchu, why don't you teach these kinds of food in the capital? These things, even if they are not special for cooks. Come and learn, but as long as someone is willing to learn it, there is a chance that it will be passed down! The cook thinks it is cumbersome and troublesome to make, but some people are naturally fond of food, so they will be interested in learning these dishes! Such a good dish should not be Obliterated!"
Fan Dechang didn't expect Li Xiaoran to make such a suggestion, but he was very willing, but unfortunately this matter was not done.
First of all, he is a royal chef, living in the palace for a long time, there is no extra time to teach.
Secondly, teaching these dishes also requires money to buy ingredients. Therefore, if he wants to teach, he must accept others to cultivate.
When the time comes, will anyone still come to learn?
Others aside, these two alone have blocked the road.
Luo Cheng saw that Fan Dechang was a little moved, and at the same time felt that it was a very meaningful thing to pass on these dishes, so he opened his mouth now.
Take care of everything for you, you just need to teach!"
Fan Dechang raised his head and looked at Luo Cheng, the seventh prince, in disbelief.
"Is this the seventh prince true?"
Luo Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, since I've agreed, I'll do what I say!"
"I am willing, I am willing, as long as these dishes can be passed down and let me do anything, I am willing!" Fan Dechang said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll take over this matter! Now sit down and eat with us! After eating, you should return to the palace to return to life!" Having said this, Luo Cheng remembered What, he added: "After you go back, if the emperor or Xiaodezi comes to ask about your coming here, you don't have to hide it, just say it one by one. If others come to ask, don't say anything. Say!"
"Yes!" Fan Dechang nodded in response, and then sat down to eat together without being pretentious.
Sure enough, after the meal, Fan Dechang just returned to the palace to hand in errands, and Xiao Dezi sent someone to call Fan Dechang.
As soon as I heard that the emperor had invited me, Fan Dechang hurriedly sorted out his appearance, and then followed the little **** who passed the letter to the palace built by the emperor.
Like what Luo said, the emperor asked about Fan Dechang's journey to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and Fan Dechang did not hesitate to tell what he had seen, heard and done.
"What? You said that the Seventh Prince promised you and was willing to help you teach a course of Shu cuisine?" The emperor asked in surprise when he heard what Fan Dechang said.
"That's right, this proposal was made by the Seventh Prince Concubine. Seeing that the minister was a little moved and hesitant, the Seventh Prince agreed to this matter!" Fan Dechang did not hide it. replied.
The emperor thought for a moment, then waved his hand.
"It's alright, you go! Remember, you can't say a word to others about your trip to the Seventh Prince's Mansion today!"
Fan Decheng kowtowed and left the emperor's palace.
After watching Fan Decheng leave, the emperor turned to look at Xiao Dezi.
"Xiao Dezi, why did this girl come up with such an idea for no reason?"
Xiao Dezi thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the seventh prince just thinks these dishes are delicious and doesn't want to be lost!"
The emperor nodded and stopped talking.
In the mansion of the seventh prince, Luo Cheng also asked the same question.
Li Xiaoran pondered for a while, then replied: "A lot of things may be useless in our opinion now, and gradually lost. But as time goes by, maybe there will be people again I like these dishes, but by that time, they have been lost, and it will be very difficult to make them again. Instead of waiting for future generations to regret it, let's make some now when we can!"
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran paused for a while, and then said another sentence.
"Besides, delicious food should be respected and circulated! These things are also a cultural heritage of our dynasty, and we should pay attention to them!"
"Do you already have a good idea in mind?" Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, "Isn't there a good wine in Xianggong? We can also open a wine shop in the capital! The difference is that in addition to snacks, we sell these trivial and niche delicacies. The chefs trained by Chef Fan Yu can directly work in our restaurant to repay the money they spent on learning cooking. In this way, those talented poor people can have the opportunity to learn their skills, and we can also choose from them. Having a good cook come to cook and collect food, and Chef Fan Yu can also fulfill his dream of passing on the talents of Shu, this is a three-pronged move!"
Luo Cheng seemed to understand Li Xiaoran's words, and asked in surprise: "I was still wondering why you were so sure that someone would come to learn these dishes. It turned out that you set your goals early in the morning. On those poor people?"
