Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 984 Chapter 985 Imperial Dining Room

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very particular about his diet. Every morning, a chef team of more than 40 people was busy preparing his majesty's diet for the day.

Tang Mo is a person who likes food. When he was in Bunas, he studied a lot of food recipes. Although his own cooking was not very good, after handing it over to the chefs below, it became a classic food.

Until now, the saying that the world's gourmet food comes from Datang has also been recognized by most people.Everyone knows that some delicious recipes for food come from the Tang Empire.

This is also confirmed by the objective laws of things. The Tang Empire was the first country to allow its people to eat three meals a day, and its food production is still the first in the world.Every year, the Tang Empire spends huge sums of money importing food and meat, so the Tang Empire has more capital to study how to eat.

The Forbidden City may have the largest and most functional kitchen in the world. There is a special cold storage to store food. Even if it is a cut pile of apprentices, it can definitely be regarded as a famous chef in other places.

As the emperor of the Tang Empire, the most powerful empire in the world, Tang Mo's daily recipes required repeated deliberation.

Tang Mo even got up early every day to measure his blood pressure and was consulted by a private medical team. Afterwards, the medical team would copy Tang Mo's body data to the kitchen office, and then a professional catering design team would decide what Tang Mo's breakfast would be.

The medical team would ask about Tang Mo's mood, refer to Tang Mo's rest time the night before, whether he had intercourse, and confirm Tang Mo's mental state after reviewing the memorial with Tang Mo's secretary.

Then, after referring to these conditions, Tang Mo personally ordered what he wanted to eat, and after cross-exclusion, he determined the lunch and dinner of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

Tang Mo was very disgusted with the expensive so-called omasake food before time travelling. Whether it was Chinese or Japanese, Tang Mo didn't like any omasake very much.

He has always believed that diet is an extremely personal thing, and there is no quantitative standard for this thing at all. The more it is recognized as delicious, the less it can meet the ultimate needs of individuals.

The gimmick of OMASAKE is even more "nonsense". How can consumers enjoy the ultimate service if the chef himself draws up the content?

So before Tang Mo traveled, he felt that the real OMASAKE service should be that the chef should communicate clearly with the employer first, then purchase the best ingredients on the day, and provide high-end service with superb cooking skills.

You said that if you ordered OMASAKE, and then went to find a table of sweet and sour pork ribs and candied sweet potatoes at night, the person who ordered the meal was a diabetic family... Isn’t it embarrassing?What if the person who ordered the meal is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to eat seafood, only to find out that the main course is lobster?
As the national power of the Tang Empire became stronger and stronger, the team serving the emperor Tang Mo became more and more professional and refined. Tang Mo finally experienced the real "emperor-like enjoyment" in this world.

He himself was finally forced to transform from an arms dealer who lived in the open air and didn't pay much attention to enjoyment to a real emperor who wanted extravagance.

What is an emperor?That's the details that you can't think of yourself, and countless people will study, pay attention to and standardize for you.

The red tape of the nobility was formed through specialization again and again. Tang Mo found that he had developed many habits that he hadn't had in the past before he knew it.

In fact, what the emperor ate was not necessarily really delicious, because after the development of this thing to a certain level, it simply began to move closer to the standard of "energy intake".

In order to ensure the absolute health of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a fixed standard for diet planning.The emperor's food must ensure balanced nutrition. After you eat fried food today, it is best to eat light food tomorrow.

Even according to Tang Mo's mood and the intensity of the day's work, the meal planning is completely different: what to eat when participating in activities, what to eat when approving memorials in the office, what to eat before going to bed at night...these are all strictly regulated. standard.

Moreover, many of the food eaten by the emperor was even cold, because after it was prepared, there would be a poison tester to test it, and a special dead man should test the poison.

Who should the emperor eat with at noon and night, and what should be paid attention to, all of which should be done in advance.What to eat for the prime minister, what to eat for the ministers, and what to eat for the generals are all different.

To give a simple example, Luo Jie, the prime minister of the Tang Empire, was quite detached in status. When His Majesty stayed with the prime minister for dinner, he preferred sweet dishes.Because Prime Minister Roger likes sweets, this meal should take care of the prime minister naturally.

When entertaining various ministers, in addition to having different tastes, one of the main dishes had to be changed symbolically into a cold dish, which represented the respect and love of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire for the Prime Minister.

Different from banquets for civilian ministers that mainly focus on fish and seafood, banquets for generals should mainly be meat. This is also the default rule. Even when cooking, they should be grilled with heavy oil to highlight the strong and resolute character of generals.

This is only on the surface. When it comes to each banquet, the imperial chefs in the Forbidden City have to rack their brains to show as much difference as possible.

According to the dietary standards of the Tang emperor, except for breakfast every day, lunch must have six dishes and one soup, and repetition is prohibited within a week.Even if His Majesty the Emperor specifically requests to taste a certain dish multiple times, this dish will appear twice at most within a week.

Dinner must also have six dishes and one soup. If you have a banquet with the imperial concubine, add the same amount of dishes according to the imperial concubine's dietary standard: the standard for the imperial concubine's dinner in the Tang Dynasty is five dishes and one soup, so if the emperor eats with the imperial concubine, It is eleven dishes and two kinds of soup.

And if the emperor eats with the three concubines, he will continue to accumulate more: four people eat together, which is 21 dishes, four soups... The princes are still young, and their meals are not counted.

If His Majesty the Emperor stays with the ministers for dinner, they will also have to add food.Under normal circumstances, when the ministers stay for dinner, there are three dishes and one soup, and the prime minister has four dishes and one soup.

Sometimes there are rewards, so add more dishes, at most three dishes, to reward the diligence of the minister or the bravery of the general.

However, sometimes, in order to show favor, special cases will be made to reduce the dishes: the purpose is to let the ministers and the emperor share the same dishes, to show the intimacy with His Majesty the emperor.Well, at this time, the two of them still eat six dishes and one soup. Only God knows if they will be full.

Under normal circumstances, those who can get together to eat with the emperor and make a "special case" probably don't care if they can get enough to eat, they will only think that the meal is extremely honorable.

Does that sound like a lot?In fact, most of the dishes are wasted, but this is the rule, this is the standard.

Tang Mo actually felt it was a waste, but all of this was the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Empire, a must-have air, and a luxury that matched his wealth.

If it is calculated that all the food His Majesty the Tang Emperor eats must be of the highest quality and kept as fresh as possible, then the price of this meal may be enough for an ordinary person to eat for a year.

But no one felt that Tang Mo was extravagant and wasteful, because his catering and clothing expenses were all from internal funds, and all he used was his own money.

As the emperor of the Tang Empire, Tang Mo actually has another identity, that is, the richest man in the world!He is the actual owner of the Datang Group, and the amount of money he makes every day is incalculable.

There is no need to calculate the profits of those sub-groups and branches of the Datang Group, but the daily increase in market value of these companies is so large that it is unimaginable.

It can be said that Tang Mo is burning money right now. He burns his banknotes one by one. After a busy day, it is very likely that his worth is still increasing.

When a person has money to this extent, he has to think about how to spend it.He must let his wealth flow, so that he can maximize the consolidation of his own wealth.

So Tang Mo had to support a medical team by himself, a chef team by himself, he also had his own band, as well as his own professional photography team, driver team, personal guard...

He loves to eat delicious food, so he can feed thousands of people on food and worry about food for him.In this way, he can provide more than 1000 jobs and create more than 1000 high-income groups.

When the money reaches his level, extravagance and extravagance can only be regarded as normal expenses.Because he was so rich, Tang Mo even drew up strict taxes to restrict rich people like himself.

As an emperor, he still had to pay taxes according to the regulations, and he paid the most fixed taxes.70.00% of his income is taxable, but he is still the richest person in the world.

This day was another ordinary morning, and the imperial dining room in the Forbidden City of the Tang Empire started another busy day.

The chef in charge of the spoon clapped his hands to signal all the chefs who were busy preparing ingredients to stop their work, and began to read out the appetite requirements of His Majesty the Emperor today: "Less salt! You can add sugar in moderation. His Majesty specifically named mandarin fish, pork ribs, kidney beans, and cabbage. If you have any ideas, you can talk about them now, and report them for screening after summarizing."

"Do you want to keep the lion's head that was finalized last night?" A chef asked curiously.

"There is starch. If you keep the lion's head, you can't serve the squirrel mandarin fish." Another chef reminded.

Everyone was chattering, you said something to each other, selected at least [-] dishes in one breath, recorded them in a notebook, and handed them over to the chef in charge.

Afterwards, the Imperial Dining Room needs to submit this menu and send it to the Emperor Tang Mo. Tang Mo will select the items he wants to eat, and then seal it back to the Imperial Dining Room. The Imperial Dining Room will prepare the corresponding dishes according to His Majesty's wishes.

It's another busy day, starting with preparing the ingredients, and then frying and frying to make all kinds of delicacies.The arrangement must be exquisite, and the heat must be precise.And then there's the tasting...

Finally serve it up to His Majesty the Emperor...
