Zhao Zhen felt very strange about Lu Yao's request to use the palace kitchen.
However, he also knew that Lu Yao never did anything he was unsure of. He must have a high level of confidence in his cooking skills when he said this.
Zhao Zhen murmured in his heart. Although Lu Yao was indeed good at making this wine, most people in the capital are drinking the wine from Jiuzhongxian. But when it comes to delicious food, if the average chef doesn't
After several years of training, there is no way to make delicious meals.
Lu Yao is young, and his reputation in the capital was not very good before. Where did he develop his cooking skills?
Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that, Lu Qing, you want to cook a meal for me yourself?"
Lu Yao said: "Weichen can kill all the dishes on the table by cooking only one dish. Do you believe it, Your Majesty?"
"Instant kill? What does it mean?" Zhao Zhen was confused for a moment.
Lu Yao smiled awkwardly and accidentally said the words in reality, so he explained: "What I mean is that I only need to make one dish to surpass the one on the table in terms of taste."
All dishes.”
Zhao Zhen understood now, so he shouted "Who's coming." The next second, a eunuch walked in from the door.
"Take Lu Qing's family to the imperial dining room and make a free stove for him."
The eunuch nodded and was about to take Lu Yao away, but Lu Yao continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I still have two requests."
"But it doesn't matter."
Lu Yao said: "The first thing is that Wei Chen doesn't like to be disturbed when he is cooking. I hope that other royal chefs in the palace will not come to watch."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said to himself that this boy is quite scheming. It seems that he is really confident in his cooking skills.
"Are you afraid that your secret cooking recipe will be stolen by the palace chef? You can rest assured that I will arrange it."
After saying that, Zhao Zhen gave the eunuch who came in a look, telling him to do what Lu Yao wanted.
"And the second thing is to ask Your Majesty to return to me what the guard just collected from me. Those are the ingredients for the dish I want to make." Lu Yao continued.
Zhao Zhenxin said that Lu Yao had indeed come prepared. He had even prepared the ingredients, so he sent someone to deliver the two tomatoes that had just been confiscated directly to the kitchen.
Seeing that all the preparations needed to be made, Lu Yao bowed to Zhao Zhen, and then left the palace with the eunuch.
What's interesting is that before Lu Yao left, Lu Xu walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to cook? Although your cooking skills are very good, this is the palace after all. You have to think carefully about it."
Already?"
Lu Yao replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, dad, this is my specialty. By the way, I have never cooked the dishes I want to make this time at home. You can try it then."
After saying that, Lu Yao left the palace.
Zhao Zhen and Lu Xu in the store returned to their seats and sat down. Although it was already noon, they both began to feel a little hungry. However, when Lu Xu thought of what Lu Yao had just said, he did not move his chopsticks.
.
Zhao Zhen, on the other hand, didn't have high expectations for Lu Yao's cooking skills, so he just ate it. In his opinion, it was just an ordinary dish, and it shouldn't have any amazing performance.
However, I remembered how confident Lu Yao looked just now, so I asked Lu Xu about Lu Yao's cooking skills.
Because of Lu Yao's explanation, Lu Xu never told Zhao Zhen about his cooking skills, but today since Lu Yao offered to show off his skills, Lu Xu no longer planned to hide it from Zhao Zhen, and then put Lu Yao in
Zhao Zhen was informed about the family's great display of cooking skills, and also about the secret recipe he sold to Fan Lou.
This really surprised Zhao Zhen.
"I didn't expect that the secret recipe of this Fan Lou dish was actually made by Lu Yao? It's no wonder that Fan Lou's reputation is now even greater than that of the palace." Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, and then felt a little regretful that he had just eaten
I'm already seventy-eight percent full.
Lu Xu said here: "Wei Chen has never thought about it. In fact, the first money Quanzi earned after escaping from marriage and returning home was through this deal with Fan Lou. In fact, I have some thoughts now.
I don’t know where dogs learned how to cook such wonderful meals.”
Through Lu Xu's description and Lu Yao's statement just now that this was a brand new dish, Zhao Zhen suddenly had some expectations for Lu Yao's dish, and then quickly ordered people to remove all the dishes on the table.
Go down.
Back to Lu Yao, he followed the eunuch to the so-called imperial dining room. Unexpectedly, the guard who just stopped him at the door was also inside. Seeing Lu Yao come in, he quickly greeted Lu Yao with a smile and said that the two tomatoes
It has been placed on the chopping board.
According to Zhao Zhen's instructions, the other royal chefs also left the kitchen early to prevent them from seeing Lu Yao's entire cooking process.
Lu Yao looked at the eunuch and said, "Please bring me three eggs."
The eunuch was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this was the delicacy described by His Majesty. Was it just scrambled eggs? So he asked if he needed anything else.
Lu Yao looked at the condiments on the table, shook his head and said nothing else was needed.
Although the eunuch was puzzled, he still brought three eggs, and then left the imperial dining room like the others.
"Although I can make delicious meals here, my favorite is still this simple tomato scrambled egg." Lu Yao looked at the ingredients on the chopping board with mixed feelings in his heart.
It has been a while since the Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, Lu Yao has never allowed himself to stop and has never dared to think about his life in reality. He knows that he cannot go back and can only go through
Different ways to prove that you are a time traveler.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, this is one of Lu Yao's favorite dishes. Because of the ingredients, this dish does not exist in the secret recipe sold to Fan Lou. This is what Lu Yao will make in real life.
The first dish, every time he tasted this dish, he could think of the time when his mother provided for him to go to school, and no matter how late he came home at night, he would cook a meal in the kitchen and wait for his return.
Lu Yao couldn't help feeling a sore nose, then picked up the tomatoes and started working.
The whole cooking process didn't take much time. Lu Yao's tomato scrambled eggs were sour and sweet, with almost no salt. This was to leave a deep impression on Zhao Zhen, looking at him
The eunuch and the guard only felt the aroma of the plate of dishes that was brought out was overwhelming.
So what are the red ingredients?
The two of them were thinking this, but Lu Yao couldn't help it any longer, and said quickly: "Hurry up and lead the way, go and give your Majesty a taste of my cooking. This dish will not taste good when it gets cold."
Only then did the two of them react, and they quickly took Lu Yao back to the side hall where Zhao Zhen was. During this process, Lu Yao also asked the eunuch to order the imperial chef to deliver three bowls of white rice to the side hall.
Zhao Zhen and Lu Xu originally thought that Lu Yao was going to show off his skills, so he had to go for two quarters of an hour, which was half an hour. Who knew that just after a quarter of an hour, they saw Lu Yao leaving with a plate?
coming.
Lu Xu stepped forward to take a look, and what he saw was naturally disappointing.
"You boy, I thought you would make some delicious food. After a long time, it was just a plate of scrambled eggs. There is no way to compare this with the food you cooked at home before. Just give this to the official
Let’s eat at home.”
Lu Yao placed the plate with tomatoes and scrambled eggs on the table, and then gave the bowls, chopsticks and rice to Zhao Zhen. Lu Xu also had a bowl for each of himself, but he ignored what Lu Xu had just said.
This reaction made Lu Xu very angry. Although Lu Yao was used to being unruly at home, most of the time he was not very polite. However, Lu Xu felt that this was different from Lu Yao's usual informality. In addition, his wife had been
Pampering him has something to do with it.
But today's situation is different. This is in front of His Majesty the Emperor. This kid actually tried to save his own face. This made Lu Xu really uncomfortable. She was about to stand up and say a few words to him, but Zhao Zhen on the side...
It was a signal to Lu Xu not to be impulsive.
But Zhao Zhen's own eyes were attracted by the tomato scrambled eggs that Lu Yao just put on the table.
Although Zhao Zhen didn't know the name of this red ingredient, he was an emperor who had eaten delicacies from all over the country. He still had some judgments about the ingredients. He felt at a glance that this dish, although it was scrambled eggs,
, but whether it tastes good or not depends on the red ingredient.
Zhao Zhen picked up a small piece of persimmon with his chopsticks, looked at it carefully, and then asked: "What is this ingredient called? I have never seen it before."
Lu Yao shrugged and said: "This thing is called a tomato. It has rich juice and a sweet and sour taste. Its soup combines with the taste of eggs to form this delicious dish."
"It turns out that it does look very appetizing." Zhao Zhen said.
Lu Yao's stomach was growling with hunger. He really didn't have the intention to answer Zhao Zhen's question, so he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, let's eat first. I'll tell you about this while eating."
It’s about a dish.”
Zhao Zhen nodded doubtfully, but Lu Yao couldn't wait any longer. He directly picked up a chopstick and put the dish into the bowl and started eating it.
Well, it's a familiar smell.
Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction, it was the smell in his memory.
Father Lu Xu didn't understand. It was just scrambled eggs. Why was Lu Yao's expression completely different from when he was eating other dishes?
Zhao Zhen also picked up some and ate it.
As the dishes entered his mouth, Zhao Zhen's expression changed significantly.
It was a feeling of being immersed in delicious food. Lu Xu also picked up a piece of tomato and ate it.
"This taste is so delicious." After just one bite, Lu Xu couldn't stop.
As for Zhao Zhen, he didn't know if it was because he had eaten too much before, but after taking a few bites, he actually put down his chopsticks, which surprised Lu Xu and even Lu Yao.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty, isn't it delicious?" Lu Yao was a little surprised and asked.
Zhao Zhen had a complicated expression, thought for a moment, and said: "It's very delicious. I just felt a special feeling from this dish, a feeling of hometown."
As soon as he said this, Lu Yao was so frightened that he almost dropped his chopsticks on the ground. He thought to himself that Zhao Zhen is indeed an old fried dough stick. He has eaten all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and he can even taste the state of this dish.
"How about it, Dad, it's much better than what we eat at home." Lu Yao turned to look at Lu Xu and said.
Lu Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, but where did you get this ingredient? I remember that there should be no such ingredient called tomatoes at home."
Lu Yao said: "I do have some in my room, but the quantity is relatively small. When spring comes, I plan to plant some tomatoes and other ingredients that are not common here, so that I can make more delicious dishes."
Zhao Zhen applauded again and again and said: "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you, Lu Yao, to be very proficient in cooking. What do you think, do you want to come to the palace and teach my royal chef?"
Lu Yaoxin said that he was indeed planning to poach someone.
