That night, Lin Fengjin was summoned to the palace by Li Jian and given a banquet.
The royal banquet was mainly based on honor. Most people were frightened in front of the emperor. How could they have any appetite? He moved his chopsticks symbolically, but Lin Fengjin was different. It was quite jaw-dropping.
The one who ate it was so happy that even Li Jian could see that this kid actually came here to enjoy the cooking skills of the imperial chef!
And it can be seen that he is really knowledgeable about this method, and he is definitely not pretending. For example, for a dish of chrysanthemum yellow crab soup, most people can only taste it delicious, but Lin Fengjin ate it
Later, I raised my fingers and praised it, and I could tell why it was so delicious. It should be because only the crab roe of male crabs was used, and then it was refined with fish fat, and it went through a series of complicated processes before it was made.
He also said that the chrysanthemum petals were selected with great care. Novice chefs often have to choose chrysanthemums that have just bloomed, but they will have a bitter taste at that time. Chrysanthemum petals must be open for four days, so that the fragrance of chrysanthemums can be integrated.
When it comes to the crab soup, it's so perfect.
When Li Jian saw Lin Fengjin speaking with great interest, he stopped the chief eunuch beside him who was dumbfounded with his eyes. He also smiled and tasted the crab paste according to Lin Fengjin's comments. Sure enough, he found that the male crab's crab paste
It is thick and viscous, different from others, and full of enthusiasm, and the chrysanthemum petals are also fragrant and fragrant.
After a while, when Lin Fengjin was going to go to the convenience store to plead guilty, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor next to him came over and knelt down in tears, complaining that he had not done a good job. He had no idea that Lin Fengjin was such a 250-year-old.
No manners before?
Li Jian was in a very good mood. He waved his hand casually and said:
"This guy has a pure heart, and his flaws can't hide his talent. Besides, it also shows that he is magnanimous in his heart - if he has ulterior motives, how can he still eat so deliciously in front of me?"
Next, Li Jian saw that Lin Fengjin liked delicious food, so he asked the imperial chef of Shangshan Supervisor to make sure that Lin Fengjin had a happy meal. Although he himself had no appetite, he saw that the young man was full of interest, energy and appetite.
He looked open and felt quite happy in his heart.
Lin Fengjin ate three delicacies and commented on them one by one. Later, Lin Fengjin even pointed out that the fish used by the imperial chef had some shortcomings, but the fish that swam out of the mouth of the Three Gorges, so the quality of the meat was
Not even close.
The others were surprised when they heard that the fish had not swam out of the Three Gorges. Could it be that the taste had changed? The eunuchs waiting nearby didn't believe it. Looking at Li Jian's appearance, they obviously didn't believe it either. Lin Fengjin asked the imperial chef to come out.
He said, when asked, the chef sighed and said that it had rained recently and the roads were muddy. The top-quality Jiangtuan were all dead after being shipped. His specialty was fish, so he had no choice but to use the second-rate Jiangtuan.
Come and do it
After everyone heard this, they were really amazed and asked Lin Fengjin the reason. It was because the rivers in the Three Gorges were extremely turbulent, and the river groups in them had to fight with the river water all the time. Of course, the meat quality was much stronger, and out of the
The level of the Three Gorges River is slow and the amount of activity is greatly reduced, so the taste will definitely be inferior. Li Jian laughed and said:
"It seems that even the cooking skills are broad and profound."
Next, Li Jian lowered his face and said to the chief eunuch of Shangshan Prison:
"I didn't know until today that there are so many words in it! If nothing else, if you can't satisfy the guests today, then you don't have to do it! Go and do the handyman work."
Lin Fengjin was overjoyed after hearing this. Why did he go through so much trouble? Isn't it because he wanted to break through his seven-shot gate? Now, if even the overwhelming power of the Central Tang Dynasty can't help him break through, then there is no way he can break through it.
Something to think about.
The chief eunuch was so frightened that he peed his pants after hearing this. After a while, he ran back and asked Lin Fengjin awkwardly:
"I wonder what the young master wants to eat?"
Lin Fengjin has long been confident:
"Then bring me a bowl of egg fried rice and some fried vegetables."
After listening to Lin Fengjin's words, the faces of the two chefs who came with Shangshan Superintendent suddenly became serious. Knowing that they had met an expert, Li Jian and many eunuchs were a little puzzled - why not put so many delicacies from the mountains and seas?
Order, you actually want egg fried rice and fried vegetables? What’s the point? Come to the palace to eat this?
However, these people are all human beings. When they saw the ugly faces of the two chefs standing next to them, they knew that Lin Fengjin's request was by no means an easy request. Lin Fengjin was also sensible at this time and explained it simply:
"Everything in the world has a process from simple to complex, and from complex to simple. In Taoist terms, it is the great road of the world, and simplicity controls complexity. In Buddhist terms, it means looking at mountains as mountains.
, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, looking at the mountain is still the three realms of the mountain. Everyone has eaten these two things, egg fried rice and fried vegetables, countless times, but, because of this, it is unforgettable to be able to make them in this ordinary life
The great taste, this is the realm of top masters!"
Li Jian listened to Long Yan's great joy and thought deeply, so he said the most thrilling words to the eunuch Shang Shan and what he least wanted to hear:
"I just realized today that there is so much knowledge in a small bowl of fried rice. I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a portion for me!"
After a while, two large red-lacquered plates were handed over with egg fried rice and fried vegetables. When Lin Fengjin saw the appearance, he immediately praised it! Then he pointed at the plump rice and said:
"Every grain of snow-white rice can actually be covered with golden egg skin when fried. This gold-coated fried method is so attractive that it wouldn't be possible without thirty years of frying skills!"
After saying that, he was not in a hurry to eat. He asked for a bowl of water from the side, rinsed his mouth carefully and said with a smile:
"If you are a masterpiece, you can't let the taste in your mouth interfere with it."
Others saw that Lin Fengjin's words and deeds were very natural, unexpected, and full of meaning. Lin Fengjin took a mouthful of rice and chewed it carefully, but found that the rice grains in his mouth were not sticky, and they were one grain at a time.
, and what’s even more amazing is that the egg skin wrapped on the outside actually feels crispy, making a slight “click” sound under the teeth, and the taste is a bit tender on the outside and tender on the inside.
When the aroma of oil, egg, and onion are mixed together, there is an indescribable special aroma, which is rich and unforgettable. Under the impact of such aroma, Lin Fengjin only felt that there seemed to be some barrier between his lips and teeth.
The child slowly melted.
The door was broken seven times, the teeth were closed, and the door was broken! Lin Fengjin's body immediately experienced some corresponding changes, but he had no time to check it at this time.
Looking at the green vegetables at this time, they were cut into pieces very casually, and there was no sign of any knife skills. It was just that the color was emerald green, as if it were emerald. Lin Fengjin put a chopstick to his mouth.
When I ate the inside, it broke with a snap. It was extremely crisp and tender. The unique juiciness of the green vegetables was mixed with the flavor of the egg fried rice, which neutralized the greasiness.
Only after entering the mouth can you realize that the seemingly messy cutting method of the green vegetables actually makes sense. It can ensure that no matter how you use chopsticks to pick up the green vegetables, the cross-section of the green vegetables placed in the mouth is quite wide. In this case, the green vegetables will come out when you bite them.
The juice will be rich.
The green vegetables were like emeralds, and the egg fried rice was golden with snowy white inside, and they looked great. Lin Fengjin took a few bites, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"I understand! It's oil! The peculiar aroma of this egg fried rice is in the oil! This oil should be a mixture of several different meat and vegetable oils that complement each other, but I don't know what kind of oil it is.
It’s so shallow that I can’t eat it anymore.”
After hearing Lin Fengjin's cry, the eunuch, the leader of Shangshan Supervisor, also showed a look of admiration on his face, and couldn't help but cross his hands and said:
"Young master's taste is very refined. It is true. The oil for fried eggs and fried rice is mixed with five kinds of oil. The first oil is three-year-old bacon, and the second oil is Cangzhou oil.
The specialty black peanut oil, the third oil is the floating oil on the soup cooked by Feilong, a specialty of the north, the fourth oil is the essential oil refined from shrimp paste in the sea, and the fifth oil is from Qinghai Lake in Xirong, rape flower eight
It only opens in September, and it will take until the end of October to harvest the newly squeezed rapeseed oil!”
"These five kinds of oils are both meat and vegetable. They are a combination of those that fly in the sky, those that swim in the water, those that grow on the ground, those that grow underground, as well as those from the extreme south and the extreme north. Missing the beauty of the season, it is like the combination of the five elements, creating a cycle.
, there is also a strange combination of circumstances, so there is such a delicious expression, this is what the fried rice chef He Yuchu said."
Seeing Lin Fengjin eating deliciously, Li Jian's appetite suddenly came over. He was also curious in his heart whether it was as good as he said. After eating it, he tasted it carefully and found that it was like this. He nodded slightly, but this time
I ate more than ever before.
He had always had a poor appetite, and the Queen knew about it. When she saw the cleanly eaten dishes and rice bowls brought down, she couldn't help but sigh:
"The saint has been suffering from loss of appetite in the past few years and is busy with state affairs. He only eats a small bowl at each meal. It would be great if this scholar could accompany the saint to eat every day. In this case, the Ai family can also save a lot of worry.
'
After eating and drinking, he naturally took away the cups and chopsticks. Li Jian had always had the habit of walking to eat after meals, so he motioned to Lin Fengjin to follow him for a walk in the imperial garden, and the two walked out one after the other.
After a few steps, Li Jian suddenly said:
"Do you know what the minister said about you when you went to court today?"
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"Of course I don't know that."
Li Jian said calmly:
"What they mean is that if you cannot be used by our country, then you will be killed."
Lin Fengjin:
