Just when everyone was tempted, Luo Cheng found something, so he walked towards a place in the kitchen.
Bent over to take a look at the rice in the rice vat, Luo Cheng grabbed another handful of rice and put it in front of his nose to smell it.
"It was given by the royal father! This rice is the rice of the royal tribute, and it can only be eaten in the palace!"
Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng's words, came over and grabbed a handful of rice, put it in front of him and looked carefully.
"This rice grain is slender and crystal clear, no wonder it is specially for the palace! Come, come, let's steam this rice today, and I, a woman from the countryside, also taste the palace What does the rice the nobles eat taste like!"
Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran's words.
In fact, in his mouth, the rice eaten in the palace is not as good as the rice he ate in Shu.
Li Xiaoran's expectations for this rice are still very high, after all, she has never eaten any good rice since she was a child.
Eating rice feels about the same whether it's modern or coming here.
Of course, when you are hungry, everything you eat is delicious.
"Sister-in-law, there is so much delicious food today, what shall we eat?" Zicheng looked at the pile of ingredients in the kitchen and asked.
Li Xiaoran looked at the increasingly hot day outside, thought about it and said, "During this time, everyone has been made to lose their appetite, why don't we make some appetizers! Stewed and boiled! Two pots of rice, one pot of rice, and one pot of mung bean porridge. I think there are quite a few ingredients here, you can marinate a pot of marinated rice, and then mix some dishes. When the porridge is cool, just eat these marinated pork cold dishes, and then Appetizing and comforting!"
"Let's make some more fried dumplings! I think fried dumplings are also good with porridge!" Zi Zheng thought of something and said.
"Okay, is there anything else you want to eat?" After listening, Li Xiaoran nodded and asked again.
The others shook their heads.
"Then let's divide the labor and cooperate, let's cook a meal together!" Li Xiaoran said while arranging tasks for everyone.
Wu Qinghe is in charge of kneading and rolling the noodles, and he is chopping meat and making dumplings.
Luo Cheng and Zicheng followed Li Xiaoran to prepare brine, then blanch the ingredients and put them in brine to marinate.
When making braised pork, Li Xiaoran made some cold pork ears and pig offal, and finally got some vegetables and root ingredients, and made several cold salad vegetables.
For example, cold shredded potato, cold lotus root, cold cowpea, cold peanut, cold fungus and so on.
When the emperor brought Xiaodezi to eat again, there were already two tables of food in the yard.
A large pot of mung bean porridge and a pot of stewed rice.
According to the different ingredients, one ingredient is cut into a large pot and placed there.
So are the salad dishes, which are set aside in large portions.
There are also fried dumplings just out of the pan, which are also piled in a large pot.
In this way, everyone can take what they want to eat in the ingredients display area.
As much as you eat, you can add more after you finish eating.
This way of dining is just like a modern buffet.
A novel way of eating that makes a group of people feel very fresh.
At this time, the emperor took Xiao Dezi to the house where Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran lived, as if he was stepping on a meal spot.
"It seems that it's better to come early than to come by coincidence! Old Seventh Daughter-in-law, what new tricks have you come up with today?"
Li Xiaoran was not surprised at all when she heard the emperor's voice.
The emperor today seems to be addicted to coming to their house to eat and eat.
"It's not a novel food, it's just a change in the way of eating!" Li Xiaoran said, looking at Luo Cheng, "Xiang Gong, I'm so hungry, come and introduce to the old man Now, I'm going to eat first!"
Luo Cheng knew that Li Xiaoran was really hungry, so he nodded, and led the emperor to the plate setting area on the side, took the bowl, the plate, chopsticks and spoon.
First, I put a bowl of mung bean porridge in a bowl, and then I took the plate to the area where the food was placed.
The emperor watched Luo Cheng operate once, and already knew what to do.
I have to say that he prefers this free-choice way of eating compared to the way he used to eat a large table of dishes by himself.
You can eat whatever you want, and others can eat whatever they want, so you don't have to stick to other people's tastes.
"Yes, yes, I think the same should be done in the palace!" The emperor nodded and praised.
Li Xiaoran, who just ate a fried dumpling, immediately objected when he heard the emperor's words.
"Master, don't do this in the palace, unless you let the eunuchs and maids in the palace do this! This kind of buffet style is suitable for many people to gather to eat together. Sir, you are alone for a long time. Eating, using this kind of buffet style, it's a waste of food!"
The emperor felt depressed when he heard Li Xiaoran's words.
"You say you girl, you are so daring and dare to say anything to me! Aren't you afraid that I will cut your head off?"
Li Xiaoran immediately became happy when she heard this.
Not afraid of the emperor's threat at all, Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will cut my head off! Your old man cut off my head, and your son will hate you for a lifetime. , this deal is not worth it! The gain is not worth the loss! So, old man, listen to my advice, be nice to me, and favor me for the best! After all, I am the best person to ease the relationship between you and your son! "
The emperor was really angry and funny when he heard Li Xiaoran's words, and finally all his emotions became helpless.
Li Xiaoran laughed even more when she heard this.
How much! Don't be in a hurry to deny it, do you know it in your own heart! Rather than keep arguing with me, your old man might as well sit down and eat something delicious, and we'll continue to chat when we're full!"
The first emperor heard Li Xiaoran's words, saw the dish in his hand, and quickly sat down to eat.
I have to say, this way of eating is really comfortable.
You can eat whatever you want. The emperor ate several bowls of mung bean porridge, and by the way, he also ate a lot of dishes.
"This thing is really delicious! What are these ingredients?" The emperor asked while eating.
Li Xiaoran's face suddenly became strange when he heard the emperor's words.
