Dear friends!

…

Although the first meeting with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty caused some surprises due to his sudden entrance into meditation, and Li Anran's attitude was indeed a bit rude, in the subsequent time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was still harmonious and harmonious.

Stably.

Considering that the purpose of this visit was for potatoes, Li Shimin originally wanted to go to the fields as soon as possible to see the actual harvest. But under Li Anran's persuasion, he finally decided to taste the potatoes first before going there.

Late.

After Zhao Qian took the cook he trained and worked in the kitchen in the inner courtyard for a long time, dishes one after another using potatoes as raw materials began to be delivered to the hall at a low price.

As the king of a country, Li Shimin naturally has absolute priority. However, he did not directly start the delicious dishes on the table, but allowed Nei Shi who was close to him to use various methods.

Put these dishes to the test.

Seeing such a move, Li Anran was not surprised at all. As the old saying goes, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. But the king of a country does this thing, especially going to the protagonist's house to greet him.

There is no precaution at all when eating food, and eating it directly will only happen to those who are unreliable.

But in Li Anran's view, with the ancient poison testing method, even if a servant would taste all the dishes first to test the poison, as long as he got some chronic poison, he really wanted to poison the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.

It's not something too difficult.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the top position, naturally had no idea that his life could be taken away by someone so easily. His entire attention was attracted by the dishes made with potatoes as raw materials.

past.

After the waiter had tried all the dishes and drinks one by one, Li Shimin picked up the silver chopsticks that were specially used for eating outside, that is, chopsticks made of sterling silver, and tried every dish.

.

"Not bad, not bad. The dishes made from these potatoes are indeed delicious. All my dear friends, please give it a try." After tasting many dishes, Li Shimin picked up the wine cup in front of him and said with a smile.

Following this person's instructions, the civil servants and military officers sitting on the lower table, who had already been salivated by the aroma of the vegetables in front of them, first expressed their gratitude in unison. Then they picked up their chopsticks and pointed towards their favorite dish.

The dishes were stretched out.

After the first bite of potatoes was stuffed into everyone's mouth, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became quiet. No, it couldn't be said to be quiet. Although no one spoke anymore, the sound of chewing was heard one after another, especially the generals.

Over there, that eating appearance can no longer be described as vicious.

Although Li Shimin and all the ministers still had more or less doubts about whether the actual yield of potatoes could reach two hundred stones. However, they were convinced of the taste and texture of this thing after tasting many dishes.

for further understanding.

"Sir, the dishes made from these potatoes are indeed very good, but can they be used as staple food?" After finishing the entire jar of beef stew with potatoes, Li Shimin wiped his mouth with satisfaction and asked.

"Your Majesty, this can be used as a dish or as a staple food. As for the specific way to eat it." When Li Anran said this, he clapped his hands and ordered outside: "Come here, serve noodles and vermicelli!"

After a short while, two bowls were placed in front of a group of ancients led by Li Shimin.

Different from the previous dishes whose portions were not that large, these two bowls are so big that they can fit an adult's face into them and still feel rich.

The soup base in the two bowls is divided into two types: clear soup and red soup. In addition to the different soup colors, these two sea bowls without any toppings also contain two kinds of strips with different thickness and width.

shape object.

"Is this a soup cake?" Li Shimin couldn't help but said as he picked up the strip-shaped object in the clear soup bowl with his silver chopsticks and looked at it.

"Noodles and soup cakes are somewhat similar. However, the ones in this bowl are not made from flour, but from potato flour. The texture and taste are quite different from ordinary noodles and soup cakes." Same.

Li Anran picked up a bowl of potato noodles and explained with a smile.

After the waiter checked that the two bowls were OK, Li Shimin picked up a chopstick of potato noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.

The biggest difference between noodles made with potato flour and noodles made with ordinary flour is that they are smoother and more elastic. To a certain extent, they have a texture similar to rice noodles. At the same time, they also have one thing that noodles don’t have.

The special feature is that it won’t go bad after being cooked for a long time.

Just as Li Shimin and the ministers began to taste the potato noodles, Li Anran slowly picked up the dishes on the table, put some into the noodle bowl, mixed them, and then

Then he started to eat a lot.

After spending the night in Taoranting, I was already hungry. The smooth and chewy potato noodles, the rich and fragrant soup base, and the sour and spicy, salty and sweet dishes as toppings made me slurp.

After eating a bowl of noodles, it feels so good.

Li Shimin and a group of ministers, who were still just eating noodles, immediately imitated someone after seeing how he ate it. Not to mention, using dishes as toppings, the taste of the noodles suddenly became richer.

Up with deliciousness.

Compared with potato noodles, potato vermicelli seems to be much heavier. The red layer of chili oil directly made those ministers who were not used to this taste choke and cough, and lost their composure for a while.

Li Shimin was smarter. After discovering that the color of the potato vermicelli soup was a bit wrong, he was not stupid enough to cut off his chopsticks. He only tasted it briefly, so he was not as embarrassed as those generals who wolfed down their food.

Chang'an is a place that can eat spicy food in later generations. However, chili peppers have not yet entered China at this time. Although there are also spicy things such as dogwood, leeks, and garlic, Li Anran uses Chaotian.

pepper, and it is a Chaotian pepper grown after the influence of time and space travel.

Regardless of whether this thing is dried or fresh, only a little bit can bring a super spicy taste to the eater. After it is made into red oil and poured with such a layer, even in modern time and space, people can eat spicy food.

Most of them will fall into trouble if they meet them, let alone this group of Tu people who have never eaten spicy food.

Fortunately, when serving vermicelli, Li Anran also asked his servants to prepare ice water. Therefore, although the ministers were in a very embarrassed state, they were not seriously injured. Of course, some people were injured.

At the same time, I also thought about whether this thing was poisonous, but after seeing someone eating it very happily, I could only look at each other in silence.

"Your Majesty, this potato vermicelli made by me is a bit spicy. However, things like chili can remove dampness and activate blood circulation. At the same time, it also has a good effect on treating chilblains, rheumatic pain, and lumbar muscle pain. It is good to eat it occasionally.

It's still good for your health." Li Anran, who poured a cup of grape wine and gargled his mouth, said with a smile after Xilihulu wiped out his portion of spicy and sour potato vermicelli.

Regarding the embarrassment caused by a group of ministers, Li Shimin was glad that he was cautious enough, but he had no intention of pursuing it. Compared with this trivial matter, the fact that potatoes, a crop that can be used as a staple food, is even more important.

After the potato noodles and potato vermicelli, four kinds of food were served in the kitchen: potato pancakes, baked mashed potatoes with cheese, French fries, and potato chips. And this time, the civil servants and generals who had just been tricked naturally wanted to eat it.

Be a lot more careful.

After trying it carefully and discovering that these things would not make me suffer, and on the contrary tasted quite good, the hall once again returned to a scene where there was no sound of talking, only the sound of chewing.

After personally tasting the dishes and staple foods cooked with potatoes, Li Shimin was finally able to confirm that potatoes, a food that was said to have been brought from this world, could not only be used in cooking but also as staple foods. He was both satisfied and excited at the same time.

I am satisfied that the taste of this thing is really good, but I am excited because if the yield of this thing can really reach two hundred stones, no! As long as it can reach one hundred stones, no! It should be said that as long as it can reach ten stones, even if I dare not say it
