I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In fact, Li Shimin is full of expectations, and hopes to eat more delicious dishes. Because of the drinks in the house, he drinks every day, nothing unusual. The problem is that he has never eaten such delicious dishes.

Li Shimin had a smile on his face and nodded: “Erlang, then go to Cai. For tonight’s banquet, I will try the dishes first. As for drinking, you can do it yourself.”

“Yes!”

Du Qi responded and immediately ordered.

As Du Qi arranges, the 3rd dishes are presented.

This dish is stewed elbows.

The raw material for stewing knuckle is pork knuckle. Although there is pork in this era, it is not very popular. For the rich and powerful, pork has a stinky smell, which is very different from that of mutton and beef.

After all, suckling pigs in this era have never been castrated, so the pork that grows up will have a taste. For ordinary people, they can eat some, but for the rich and powerful people In other words, apart from being used for sacrifices, it is almost seldom eaten, mainly eating mutton, and beef that died of illness due to various reasons.

However, Du Qi still uses pork knuckles. Even so, when the pork knuckles are blanched, Du Qi also uses ginger, pepper, green onions, etc. to remove odors and minimize the taste on the pork knuckles .

When simmering, add honey, tangerine peel, bay leaves and other condiments to make the pork knuckle again a little bit of miscellaneous flavor.

This stew alone took nearly an hour and a half, making the whole pork knuckle very soft and waxy, especially after adding honey and caramel, the whole pork knuckle is no longer fatter On the contrary, Nuo Nuo is very comfortable.

Compared with beef and mutton, once pork has removed the fishy smell and the fat but not greasy taste it brings, no meat quality can be replaced. The waiter comes in and it is very different.

However, there are only four pork knuckles.

In front of Li Shimin, there is a complete pork knuckle, and the remaining three pork knuckles have been distributed through Liu Jian’s knife skills when they are fished out. Everyone is just a small Serving.

After putting pork knuckles in front of everyone, Du Qi introduced: “Everyone, this 3rd dish is called stewed knuckles. In front of your Royal Highness, there is a complete stewed knuckles, because the ingredients are limited, so In front of you, it’s just a part. Uncles, please!” When he waved his hand, everyone moved their chopsticks.

Originally, this smell was diffused, and it was already unbearable.

Especially with the preparation of the first two dishes, each one is full of expectations, because there are not many, divided into nearly fifty points, so there are not many in front of one person, so these few mouthfuls Go down and eat it in twos or twos.

Li Shimin also ate a piece. When a piece of fat but not greasy elbow skin enters the mouth, it melts in the mouth and is extremely soft. After such a smell filled the taste buds, Li Shimin’s eyes lit up.

“Wonderful, it’s wonderful!”

Li Shimin nodded one after another, but he only took two bites, and he saw everyone in the Prince of Qin Mansion below. Brush looked towards him, because everyone didn’t have much, after eating in twos or twos, they all looked at Li Shimin.

This makes Li Shimin a little uncomfortable.

Li Shimin did not continue to eat. He looked towards Du Qi and said, “Erlang, what kind of food is this pork knuckle derived from? It’s not like beef or lamb.”

Du Qi said: “It’s taken from pork, it’s the hoof on a pig’s thigh.”

Pork?

Li Shimin was surprised when he heard that, said resolutely: “Pork, can it be so delicious?”

In the lobby, the pot was also exploded.

All the faces were filled with surprise, because everyone in the room knew that the pork tastes not very good, but they did not expect that the stewed pork knuckle would taste so delicious.

It’s so delicious.

Du Qi looked at the people who were talking about it, and said: “This pork knuckle stew has naturally undergone multiple treatments, so it tastes like this. Uncles, if you like it, welcome in the future. Go to the youngster’s restaurant to eat.”

Li Shimin wanted to laugh.

Du Qi, the youngster, is really hard to come by. At any time, he will not miss the opportunity for publicity.

Li Shimin looked at the look of anticipation one by one, and asked: “Erlang, how many dishes are there behind here?”

Du Qi replied: “Reporting back to Your Highness, There are nine dishes.”

Li Shimin said: “Everyone has to be impatient, so you don’t have to serve each dish one by one. Let the chef arrange it. All the remaining dishes are prepared properly. Just serve them all, no need to delay time.”

“Yes!”

Du Qi got up, went to the back kitchen in person, and arranged something.

Liu Jian has to be busy if they want to send them all in file, but this is also good, they don’t have to be the same.

After Du Qi returned to the hall, he immediately followed and saw the attendants filed in.

Next, the dishes delivered to the lobby include Soy Red Braised Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Steamed Fish, White Chicken, Braised Beef, Steamed Egg with Minced Meat, Mapo Tofu, Braised Goose, Lao Duck Soup. Nine dishes served one after another.

Du Qi at first, I also explain it.

But in the end, I didn’t explain it at all, because he said that no one listened, and he worked hard one by one, eating very happy. No one drinks, but eats fast.

After a long time, there was a hiccup in the hall.

It was Cheng Yaojin who had eaten first. His sturdy body, slightly behind, with a satisfied expression, said: “His Royal Highness, today’s banquet is really too comfortable to eat. I’ve never eaten such a delicious dish since I was a child. It’s amazing! Du Erlang’s dishes are really amazing.”

Zhangsun Wuji has some opinions about Du Qi. , But he has finished eating. Although many of the dishes in front of him have not been eaten, but he can’t eat it. He also feels that Du Qi is youngster not simple.

The others spoke up.

When they looked towards Du Qi one by one, they looked forward to wishing Du Qi to be his son.

Many people even compliment Du Ruhui.

In the face of everyone’s congratulations, Du Ruhui was extremely humble on the face, but extremely happy inside. Although Du Qi is thinking about it in the back kitchen, the effect is simply very good.

Li Shimin is still struggling now. He suddenly said: “Erlang, have all the dishes come here?” Du Qi said: “His Royal Highness, there are still some left. After all, the princess and the others have never attended the banquet. So when the back kitchen is busy, I also prepare more.”

“Yes, not bad!”

Li Shimin has a look of approval on his face.

Du Qi, the youngster, knows everything.

Du Qi turned around and continued: “In addition, there are actually some dishes that are soft and delicious, suitable for elderly people. These dishes are more exquisite and are specially prepared for His Royal Highness. Your Highness sent it into the palace.”

As soon as this was said, the hall suddenly became quiet, and there was no more sound.

Everyone looked towards Du Qi.

The eyes are very surprised.

Du Qi, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, can still figure out such delicious food, it is still a monster. If you put aside other things, just talk about the art of cooking, and looking at thousands of years of history, there has never been a comparable Du Qi.

However, Du Qi’s enchanting part is that before doing things, he has already considered the backyard chief Sun Wuguo and other family members of Li Shimin, and they have been properly arranged. This is Du Qi’s carefulness.

This is no longer limited to chefs.

Seeing the leopard in the tube, we can see the meticulous thought of Du Qi.

However, the most enchanting part is that when Du Qi prepares this dish, he can also consider that Li Shimin will bring the food box into the palace and come to Li Yuan to win favor.

The art of cooking cooking has evolved into a battle between the emperor’s heart and a political party. Such a breakthrough shows that Du Qi is young, but his skill is extremely proficient.

Fang Xuanling suddenly said: “His Royal Highness once said that giving birth to a child is like Du Erlang. Today, the humble duty is finally understood.”

The others agreed.
