Chapter 189 The Holy Monk Prince(1/2)
When the officials of the civil and military classes saw her and her master riding on a dragon chariot and a phoenix chariot together with Li Fu, sitting side by side with a tendency to stick to each other, they were all beaming.
They immediately started walking from outside the city to the city.
Over there, Wukong Walker also asked Sha Monk to carry the luggage, Bajie held the white horse, and the three disciples followed behind the driver.
Zhu Bajie was not being honest while holding the horse. He was looking around, saying envious words and dancing.
How could the official of the Xiliang Women's National Ceremony Department have seen this? She whispered to the queen, "My lord, that one with the long mouth and big ears is clamoring for a wedding banquet!"
After hearing the words, the queen leaned on Li Fu's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Brother Li Fu, which of your disciples is the one with the long mouth and big ears?"
Li Fu said, "That is my second apprentice, named Zhu Wuneng Bajie. He has always liked to eat, and he always likes to take this delicious bite."
After hearing this, the Queen quickly asked, "How are the arrangements for the banquet at Guanglu Temple?"
The personal female officer replied, "Your Majesty, the settings have been completed. They are divided into meat and vegetables. They are on the east pavilion."
The queen was smiling like a flower. She leaned next to Li Fu and said, "Brother Prince, do you eat meat or vegetarian food?"
Li Fu said, "The poor monk eats vegetarian food."
Although Li Fu is a vegetarian, he has not forgotten to supplement protein. He has eaten a lot of soy products along the way.
Even when Li Fu was in Chang'an City in the east, he invented a series of soy products. Now they have become the industry of Huangzhuang, and it is unknown how much internal funds have been increased.
It seems that he has "invented" a lot of soy products.
Except for "soy milk powder", a drink that is different from soy milk.
He also used soybean dregs that would have been eliminated in the process of making tofu to extract soy protein isolate.
He then used this soy protein isolate to produce various soy products such as "Thousand-page Tofu".
If the inventor of these "vegetarian dishes" had not been Li Fu, I'm afraid it would have become an exclusive dish in the temple.
However, because Li Fu is a prince, and because Li Fu and his father traveled to the underworld, their relationship deepened to an unknown extent.
Therefore, Li Fu presented all the methods for making these soy products to his father.
This kind of food that can supplement protein immediately started the workshop preparation process.
Except for a small amount that is supplied to the palace and to supplement nutrition for the soldiers, the rest is sold in the market.
Under Li Fu's suggestion, these workshops gradually developed the prototype of assembly line production.
In addition to the assembly line, a research and development department has also been established.
At present, most of the research is on how to use soy protein isolate to achieve results.
Although they are also very popular, the soy products based on the taste of Qianye Tofu are also very popular.
However, after adding surimi there, new styles such as fish tofu, fish steaks, crab sticks, shrimp cakes, etc. were produced.
Although there is no large-scale popularization of refrigerators, these need to be dehydrated and made into dry food, and then soaked and eaten.
However, these foods alone have caused earth-shaking changes in the food culture of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
After all, for a civilization that is mainly based on farming, it is really a great thing to be able to obtain protein on a large scale.
Of course, Li Fu's contribution to Datang did not stop there.
In addition to "inventing" these foods, he also invented stir-fry.
Originally, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no cooking.
It's not that the thin iron pot is too difficult to make. Even if it is really difficult, it is not difficult for a prince like him.
It's just that no one thought of using this "stir-frying" method to prepare dishes.
In this era, it’s either steaming or stewing.
Otherwise, after Li Fu became Tang Monk, he traveled all the way west, and all the monsters from the White Bone Demon onwards thought of how to steam him.
After Li Fu came up with stir-fry dishes, he combined it with his soy protein isolate products, various vegetables, and sauces as the base color to create a "spicy hotpot" that is neither spicy nor spicy.

This kind of food has a bit of a strong taste. It's okay for the royal family to try it, but if you eat it every day, you won't be able to eat it.
However, this dish is very popular with ordinary people in Chang'an City.
Because it has a strong taste, it can be eaten with meals, and it can resist hunger. And because it contains protein, it can also maintain strength.
Since then, Li Fu, the "Prince's Holy Monk", has not been recognized by the masses because of his knowledge of profound Buddhist principles. Instead, it is because of this stir-fried dish and soybean products that unknown people have recognized him.
How many people who cook are regarded as their ancestors?
If we follow the criteria for the selection of Taoist immortals, it would probably only take the emperor Li Shimin of the human world to nod for canonization. With the flow of logistics and population, more and more people worship him as the Patriarch. Even if he does not come to this Western Heaven to learn scriptures, he will probably be
Able to become a god and possess godhood.
Having said this, Li Fu thought about it and felt that if he became a god like that, his painting style would probably be a bit strange.
Just as Li Fu finished recalling, the Grand Master over there said, "Your Majesty and His Highness are invited to go to the East Pavilion for a banquet. Tonight is an auspicious day. Your Majesty is suitable to marry His Royal Highness the Holy Monk. Tomorrow, when the ecliptic is revealed, we will invite the Holy Monk.
When His Royal Highness the Prince ascends to the King's Palace, it will be fine to face the south and change the reign name."
After the queen heard this, she was extremely happy. She and Li Fu got off the dragon chariot and phoenix chariot hand in hand and entered the palace of the Xiliang Kingdom.
I saw that the palace of the Western Liang Kingdom is extremely luxurious, and all kinds of materials are used, which is also very particular.
Not only is it a solid building that can be seen, there are many things to like about it.
Even the artists who dance and play music are of extremely high standards.
They were so busy that Bajie couldn't even walk straight.
After the queen and Li Fu became chiefs here, they were eating vegetarian food, and at the single seats on both sides under the stage were two classes of civil and military officers, and Li Fu's apprentice.
When the queen saw everyone taking their places, she held up the jade wine glass with the tips of her ten slender fingers.
Wukong Walker stepped forward and said, "Both my master and my disciples are vegetarians. We would also like to sit closer to the master. No comment."
The Grand Master over there said immediately, "Okay, okay. Master and disciple are like father and son, they should be closer, they should be closer."
I saw that the seat was slightly adjusted. Li Fu was drinking tea instead of wine and also raised his cup.
The two civil and military classes below all kowtowed and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
After the queen asked them all to get up, she stopped the music and started the banquet.
When Bajie heard that dinner was finally ready, he finally let go and started eating.
When he was in Chenjiazhuang before, he was afraid that if he ate too much, the Chen family would not be able to survive for the next year.
But at the state banquet of the Female Kingdom of Xiliang, looking at the richness here, no matter how much he eats today, he will not be able to eat enough of the Female Kingdom of Xiliang.
It doesn’t matter what he eats here, be it bean paste buns or steamed buns, sugar triangles are even better.
He didn't care what the texture of the vegetables were or where they were collected.
He just stuffed it into his mouth.
His belly was like a bottomless pit, and the female officials around him were all dumbfounded.
It's not enough for him to just eat vegetables, he also has to drink that vegetarian wine.
He doesn't use a cup when drinking, he just uses the big container where the wine is placed, one bucket after another, and then another bucket.
After he finishes eating and wiping himself clean, he will say, "Come again! Come again!"
"After eating some more, everyone will go do their own things!"
Monk Sha over there asked, "Brother, what are you going to do if you don't finish the feast?"
Bajie said with a smile, "Brother, you don't understand. In this mortal world, everyone has his destiny. Those who make swords make swords, and those who make bows make bows. Our master has now entered the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. But we, the disciples, will not be able to enjoy the blessings, and we have to go to the Western Heaven to learn scriptures."
"If you eat too much or drink too much, things will inevitably be delayed. It is better to change the customs clearance documents early so that we can go our separate ways."
The queen was very happy to see that this fat guy was so reasonable.
She lets all her subordinates eat and drink well.
Over there, Li Fu said with some reluctance, "Your Majesty, the banquet has been eaten now. Please go up to the palace, change the customs, and send him and the other three out of the city while it's still early."
p>
The king of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom here, Xiaoniao Yiren, listened to Li Fu's words, broke up the banquet, and returned to the Jinluan Palace.
She wanted Li Fu to sit with her in the Golden Palace, but Li Fu refused.
He hurriedly said, "No, no. When the sky becomes bright tomorrow, the ecliptic will be just right, so that the poor monk can ascend to the throne."
"If you ascend the throne early today, it would be arrogance and disrespect."
The grand master over there also thinks it makes sense, and the queen has no opinion now. She just thinks that whatever the prince brother says is what it is.
The queen did as she was told. She sat on the dragon bed and asked the grand master to bring a golden chair and place it next to the dragon bed.
Over there, Wukong presented the customs clearance document.
Sun Dasheng unpacked the baggage and took out the Guanwen inside.
He presented the document with both hands, and the queen took it in her hand and opened it to read.
