Happy Farmer's Life

When the emperor was worrying about Jing Yuan's marriage, Du Weiming was busy in the kitchen of the palace.After a few days of days when Du Weiming had to open his mouth to eat and stretch out his hands, he learned from the painful experience and decided that he couldn't go on like this anymore. After a few more days like this, he would probably be useless.To be honest, the palace has too much food, and that's it. Du Weiming decided to cook by himself.

Manager Liu was of course unwilling at first, but he couldn't resist Du Weiming's strong request, so he led him to the kitchen in the end.

"Master Li, the kitchen is right here. If you need anything, just ask. This is Aunt Liang. He takes care of the kitchen."

Du Weiming said hello to Mrs. Liang, the ingredients in the palace are definitely much better than those in his own shop, after thinking about it for a long time, Du Weiming decided to make the simplest vegetable rice with pig's trotter soup.

Vegetable rice is of course Du Weiming's favorite sausage vegetable rice.Wash the rice first and put it aside for use. The rice for this dish must be woken up first, otherwise the cooked rice will not taste good. It is best to put it for an hour.Fortunately, Mrs. Liang has already prepared the rice, otherwise it would be too late.Of course, the sausages are homemade, and the sausages for cooking rice should be fatter, so that they are delicious.Fat meat here, that is, white meat, is more expensive than red meat. Many people will buy the fat meat back to boil lard. Du Weiming doesn't like to eat fatty meat, so he prefers lean meat for his own food.Picking and picking among several sausages, I picked two that were fatter.Cut into thin slices and set aside.

There must be a lot of vegetables in the rice. This winter season is the best time for green vegetables. It is definitely a big challenge for Zhou Wen to choose a few big green vegetables. Washing vegetables in winter is definitely a big challenge. Most of the water here is well water. It's getting colder.Zhou Wen rushed to wash the vegetables.

"Master, should this vegetable be cut or not?"

"Cut shreds, look at how I cut it."

The green vegetables for the rice should be finely chopped. After Du Weiming demonstrated, Zhou Wen took over.One stove is ready to cook vegetables and rice, and the other is used to cook pig's trotters and soybean soup.Cut the trotters into pieces and boil them with the swelled soybeans. After the high heat is boiled, it can be simmered on a low heat.

Aunt Liang originally thought that this Young Master Li was here to play, how could the young master know how to cook.I didn't expect it to be really good, but it's the first time I've heard of this sausage and rice.

The palace uses vegetable oil. Du Weiming thinks this is also a business. Next time, he must open a workshop to refine oil. The business should be good.After the oil pan is hot, put the vegetables in and stir fry first, then add the sausage and white rice and stir fry together.

"Master, why do you put the rice in and stir-fry?"

"The rice absorbs the oil and aroma of the sausage, so that the cooked rice is delicious."

Stir-frying a large pot of food is a bit difficult, so Mrs. Liang came to help.Sure enough, he is a veteran, and it doesn't take much effort to stir fry.When the rice becomes sticky, put it in water and cook.

Taking advantage of the vegetables, rice and soup to be ready for a while, Du Weiming decided to make some snacks.After arriving at the palace, I found out that there are horse milk and goat milk, which are said to be used in some dishes.With this, I can find a way to make cream. I really miss the taste of cream.It must be too late to make cream today, so Du Weiming decided to make the simplest snack, banana chips.

This thing is a waste of oil, and there is no shortage of these things in the palace.In addition to the big stove, there are several small stoves in the kitchen, which use charcoal, which of course ordinary people can't afford.Mare's milk is more fishy than milk. Make mare's milk, eggs and white flour into a paste. Cut the bananas into thin slices. After the oil pan is heated, dip the banana slices in the paste and fry them in the oil pan until golden brown. It's out.

"Master, why is this stuff so fragrant?"

"Banana chips, I'll give you a taste later."

The banana slices should be cooled before they can be eaten. Du Weiming asked Aunt Liang and Zhou Wen to taste it. Zhou Wen didn't feel so much about it, but Aunt Liang immediately fell in love with the taste.The crispy shell is wrapped in sweet bananas, which is really good.Du Weiming smiled, this kind of snack seems to be more popular with women and children.

When Liu Jingyuan returned to the palace, he ordered to pass the meals.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Young Master Li is cooking in the kitchen. It will take some time." "Wei Ming is in the kitchen? He is such a restless guy. Let's go to the kitchen." Liu Jingyuan stepped into his home for the first time The kitchen in the mansion, and Du Weiming's work there is almost coming to an end.

"Jingyuan, you're back. You're so smoky, go out, and you'll have something to eat right away." Liu Jingyuan saw the golden slices on the plate, and didn't know what they were.

"what is this?"

"Banana chips, would you like some?"

Liu Jingyuan nodded, and Du Weiming took a slice with his chopsticks and gave it to him. It was crispy and delicious, but it was a bit sweet.Du Weiming rushed Jing Yuan out, the aroma of the vegetables and rice had already wafted out, and after waiting for almost an incense stick, Du Weiming checked that it was ready to be cooked.

This may be the simplest meal in the history of the palace. There is only one bowl of rice and one bowl of soup in front of everyone.As soon as Liu Jingyuan put the first mouthful of rice into his mouth, he heard the voice of "The emperor is here!" coming from the door.No, Brother Huang didn't come to play early, why did he come at this time.Liu Jingyuan had no choice but to lead the crowd to welcome them out.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

After saluting, the emperor took the lead and entered the middle hall.

"Imperial brother, are you eating? Why is the food in the palace simpler than that of ordinary people? Is it because the salary I give is not enough?"

The emperor almost died of anger when he saw the food. His precious brother didn't even have any food, only a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. It is estimated that the people in the capital eat better than him.It's nothing.

"Brother Huang, it's not like this. Wei Ming made this specially. Have you eaten, Brother Huang? If not, let's try it together. Wei Ming's cooking is very good."

This is what Li Weiming did?The emperor took a closer look, why has he never seen this thing before, and it won't cause any problems after eating it.The emperor frowned involuntarily.

"Brother Huang, this is called vegetable rice. I just tasted it, and it's really delicious. Would you like to try it first?"

The emperor reluctantly nodded.Here, Butler Liu has quickly prepared the tableware, and the maidservant quickly brought out a dish of rice and pig's trotter soup.

Because the emperor sat down to eat, only the emperor and the prince were eating at this table, and Du Weiming was standing on the side.Who is he messing with? I have been busy for a long time, and I haven't eaten the meal yet. The emperor came, and he came, and I still can't eat. It's really an evil old society.

"Wei Ming, sit down and eat too."

"No, no, I'll go down and eat later."

"Give Li Weiming a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Du Weiming had no choice but to sit down.It's just that the meal is a bit cold, but I'm really hungry, so I don't care, I pick up the chopsticks and start eating.Of course, with the presence of the emperor, I dare not let go of eating. No matter what, you have to eat slowly and pay attention to dining etiquette.

This vegetable rice is much more delicious than expected. The fragrant vegetable rice is paired with the stewed crispy pig's trotter soup. Of course, the taste is nothing to say.The emperor was the first to finish a bowl of rice, but he was not ashamed to ask for more rice.Eunuch Lin glanced at the emperor, and took another bowl wisely. The emperor smiled, picked up the bowl and continued to eat.Du Weiming's appetite is not big, a bowl of rice with a bowl of soup is enough.Seeing the emperor's elegant eating appearance and his incongruous appetite, he secretly slandered him. He looked disgusted just now, but now he is eating happily again. It's really... This vegetable rice with pig's trotter soup is of course a must. There are many in previous lives. Small shops rely on this to make a living, can it not be delicious?

The emperor ate three bowls of rice and one bowl of soup, while Liu Jingyuan ate four bowls of rice and two bowls of soup.Du Weiming was completely speechless.Sure enough, they are brothers, they can eat like this.You must know that this is not a small bowl, but a big bowl.When Liu Jingyuan put down his chopsticks, the maid next to him had put away the bowls and chopsticks in a sensible way, and brought tea and snacks. Liu Jingyuan also ordered Manager Liu to bring up banana slices in a basin.

Liu Jingyuan also didn't understand why Brother Huang came here, didn't he just enter the palace today, why did Brother Huang follow here.Liu Jingyuan didn't know that the emperor came here specially to see Weiming.The emperor really couldn't figure out what kind of charm this Li Weiming had so that his precious brother would be so convinced by him that he would never marry a wife.

"Li Weiming, are you married now?"

"Report to the emperor, the grass people are not yet married."

"Is there a favorite candidate?"

"No."

"I heard that Mrs. Wang's daughter knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous beauty in the capital. What do you think?"

"Brother Huang, you clearly know..."

"? Brother, I'm asking Li Weiming."

"Report to the emperor, thank you for your kindness, I'm afraid the grassroots can't afford it."

Hearing this, Liu Jingyuan could not help but smile.I saw my brother glared fiercely.

"I don't know what your request is. There are many women in Kyoto, and there is always something you agree with."

Du Weiming couldn't figure it out, what did the emperor do, he came here to be a matchmaker?This is not full.

"My Majesty, Caomin is still young and has a young brother in his family. How can he dare to marry a wife without fame and achievements?"

"It doesn't matter, I will make an order now, what do you think?"

What kind of medicine does the emperor sell in the gourd?Du Weiming had a headache and didn't know how to get back.Come on, how can I ask for a wife at my age, how old is this, and I'm still a minor, okay?

"Brother Huang, I have something urgent to tell you, please move my brother."

The emperor couldn't hold back his younger brother, so he went to the side hall with Jing Yuan, everyone else was left behind, only those two went in.Manager Liu and Eunuch Lin also don't understand what these two are doing.Du Weiming took the opportunity to sneak back to his room.If I stayed here, I guess I was really given a marriage. This is not a good thing, so I should withdraw as soon as possible.
