Home-cooked side dishes?

Everyone looked at Wang Ning'an without a doubt, and the corners of their mouths twitched. A dish that they had never seen before was made into a home-cooked dish by a young man. Does this mean that they, a group of old guys, have never seen the world?

"hehe……"

Li Ji smiled awkwardly, took the lead in picking up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. His teeth were immediately filled with fragrance, making him want to take a second and third bite after taking the first bite.

Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all looked at Li Ji quietly.

"Gulu."

Li Ji swallowed a piece of braised pork without even taking a bite. Then he took off his chopsticks again with a satisfied look on his face and took another bite. This time he chewed carefully and slowly, wanting to keep the delicious taste.

.

When everyone saw Li Ji's expression of satisfaction and enjoyment, no one knew that this dish was very delicious. They all picked up their chopsticks and wanted to pick up the food.

As for Wang Ning'an and what Wang Ning'an had just said, they had long forgotten it. However, just when they were about to take off their chopsticks, a discordant sound made them stop their hands in the air.

Some people have just picked up the food, and some have already picked up the food. Their hands are still in mid-air. The person who is faster has already put the food to his mouth. The person who is the slowest has just stretched out his chopsticks and hasn't even touched the food.

arrive.

"My dear friends, why do you spend so much time visiting my Erlang Bookstore?"

Everyone immediately put down their chopsticks, and many people put down the chopsticks in their hands hurriedly, even reluctantly putting down the meat on their lips, and saluted the middle-aged man at the small door.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone loves you for your peace of mind."

Li Er invisibly exuded an aura that surpassed that of ten thousand people. Wang Ning'an knew that this was the aura of an emperor. However, such an emperor was very peaceful to others, with a smile on his face, which made people unconsciously think

Be close to him.

Wang Ning'an finally knew the reason why he had so many supporters. It was because of Li Er's personality charm. Even he couldn't help but want to get close to Li Er.

"He deserves to be the emperor of the ages." Wang Ning'an thought to himself.

Everyone consciously walked to both sides of Li Er and made way for Li Er.

Li Er always looked at Wang Ning'an with a smile, slowly walked up to Li Er and said, "Are you Wang Ning'an? A disciple of Taoist Yunyou?"

Wang Ning'an raised his hands in fear and said: "Common people come to see you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be nervous. Come on, tell me why you have the guts to change my signboard, and why you all come to my Erlang Bookstore without saying hello to me." Li Er glanced at everyone.

Li Ji and others looked at Cheng Yaojin one after another, as if asking: "It was you who invited us here, why don't you explain to His Majesty quickly?"

Cheng Yaojin glared at Wang Ning'an, as if to say: "You brat, I'm here because of you. It's you who should answer His Majesty's questions."

Wang Ning'an felt Cheng Yaojin's gaze, nodded slightly to him, and then said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the common people dare to ask Your Majesty whether the bookstore will be rewarded to the common people?"

Li Er nodded and said: "This is indeed true. The movable type printing and Quyuan plow you donated are very useful to me, the Tang Dynasty, and even the whole world. I have always been generous with rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds.

"

Wang Ning'an said: "I would like to thank your majesty for the reward. Now that I have written

The store already belongs to the grassroots, so the grassroots have the right to change the sign of the bookstore.

The most important thing is that the common people heard that the sign was put up by the Empress, which made the common people even more frightened. If this sign fell into the hands of the common people, it would not only be a disservice to His Majesty's high hopes for the common people, but also the empress's sign.

Therefore, the common people have collected the signboard of the Empress and will return it to the Empress if there is a chance in the future. Now that Your Majesty is here, I will trouble you to return the sign to the Empress."

When everyone heard this, a drop of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Especially Cheng Yaojin, who quickly walked up to Li Er and said with a silly smile: "Your Majesty, Wang Ning'an was so excited after seeing Your Majesty that he was a little incoherent. He wants to keep the Empress's sign as a family heirloom, and he doesn't plan to return it.

Give it to the queen."

Then he slapped Wang Ning'an on the back of the head and said angrily: "You brat, don't you think so?"

Wang Ning'an immediately rubbed the back of his head vigorously and said with an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, Uncle Cheng is right, ordinary people should keep the sign at home as a heirloom."

"Haha..." Li Er burst out laughing. He didn't know why. He was very happy when he saw Wang Ning'an deflated. Once he was in a good mood, he didn't plan to argue with Wang Ning'an. "Since you don't like that sign, I won't force it.

You, someone, put away the Queen's sign."

"yes."

One of the guards went somewhere, and soon he had a sign in his hand. It was the sign with the four words "Erlang Bookstore" engraved on it.

Wang Ning'an thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Since the bookstore is yours now, I can't say anything about changing the sign. Besides, I'm curious why all the dear friends are here?"

Cheng Yaojin immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is because of me. I invited everyone here. Wang Ning'an knows some cooking skills, and the taste is very delicious. Wei Chen wanted to invite everyone to taste it, but he ignored your majesty. Damn it, Wei Chen

."

Li Er smiled and said: "You deserve to die. If something like this happens next time, I will never forgive you lightly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not pursuing it further. Ning'an, why don't you quickly bring your Majesty a pair of bowls and chopsticks?"

"yes."

Wang Ning'an left in a hurry and came back in a hurry. He had a pair of bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and he placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of Li Er.

Before Li Er could take it, a middle-aged man with a pale face and firm eyes beside him took out a silver needle and inserted it into each dish. Then, seeing that there was no change in the color of the silver needle, he took out the silver needle.

He put away the needle and stood aside quietly.

Cheng Yaojin and others still had no emotions about this, as if everything was natural.

Wang Ning'an curled up his lips. Is this the legendary silver needle test for poison? It's quite unreliable.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, these are some home-cooked dishes made by the grassroots. As for why they are said to be home-cooked dishes, it is because these dishes are easy to buy and can be easily made at home."

Wang Ning'an picked up a pair of chopsticks, holding a piece of braised pork, and said: "Your Majesty, this is braised pork. The preparation is very simple. Just put cold water in the pot, add pork belly, ginger slices, and an appropriate amount of cooking wine, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Put oil in medium, add pork belly, fry until both sides are slightly brown, take it out, leave a little base oil in the pot, add some sugar, stir-fry until the sugar color comes out, add pork belly, stir-fry evenly, pour in hot water, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon lamp spices

.

Then a spoonful of soy sauce, a little vinegar, a spoonful of cooking wine, over high heat

Boil and simmer for 30 minutes, add an appropriate amount of salt, and finally reduce the juice. A pot of braised pork with full color, flavor and flavor is completed.

Your Majesty, look, this braised pork is red and shiny, you must eat it while it's hot."

Just when everyone thought that Wang Ning'an would hand the braised pork to Li Er, even Li Er thought so and was waiting with salivation, Wang Ning'an made an astonishing move that stunned everyone.

The people next to Li Er exuded a chill, as if Li Er would take off Wang Ning'an's head as soon as Li Er gave the order, because Wang Ning'an had teased his master, Comrade Li Er.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but want to rush up and slap a devil's palm on the back of Wang Ning'an's head. He had just told him not to be too high-profile. Not only was he high-profile, but he dared to tease the emperor. He was looking for death.

As soon as Wang Ning'an finished speaking, he put the braised pork on the chopsticks to his mouth. It didn't matter, but the piece of braised pork passed in front of Li Er, as if this piece of braised pork was meant for you.

appearance.

Everyone thought that Wang Ning'an was teasing Li Er and seeking death.

Li Er raised his eyelids and didn't say anything. He just picked up the chopsticks with a smile, then picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.

"Yes, it's fat but not greasy. It's both fat and thin. It melts in your mouth. It's really fragrant. All my dear friends, please sit down and eat with me. Wang Ning'an, please go cook some more food. I think there are too many people and not enough food.

"

"The common people obey the decree." Wang Ning'an cupped his hands and said.

When leaving the backyard, Wang Ning'an saw Li Er's joking expression and rolled his eyes, thinking that he was taking revenge on himself.

Comrade Li Er turns out to be really stingy and should not be offended in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Ning'an came to the kitchen and cooked a few dishes for everyone. They were all home-cooked dishes, with nothing special. If anything, he used the unwanted pig offal as ingredients.

Li Er and the others all ate happily. Even Qin Qiong, who was dying of fighting, also ate a little more.

Wang Ning'an heard that Li Er and the ministers in the backyard were talking and laughing happily, especially Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and other generals who spoke the loudest, and finally cursed his mother. Li Er not only did not blame, but also told

They scolded each other together.

This made Wang Ning'an once again think that he was an approachable and good emperor.

After cooking, Wang Ning'an walked out of the kitchen, but was stopped by a person. This person was the guard next to Li Er who used a silver needle to test for poison.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng and Wang Zhong immediately walked up to Wang Ning'an and wanted to protect Wang Ning'an.

Wang Ning'an pushed Wang Zhong and Wang Cheng away and said, "Uncle Zhong, Wang Cheng, please go out and click on the books in the bookstore first. I want to know the specific number."

Wang Zhong glanced at Wang Ning'an and found that Wang Ning'an didn't look panicked at all, so he felt relieved, greeted his son and left.

Wang Ning'an then said: "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty wants to see you alone." The guard said coldly.

Wang Ning'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and wait for Your Majesty."

The guard did not stop him and watched him walk into the kitchen.

When Wang Ning'an got to the kitchen, he made himself a bowl of noodles. In his previous life, in addition to studying history, he also liked to study food. He had done research on all kinds of delicacies across the country, and even domestic and foreign delicacies, but his favorite was still
