My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 513
Think about the flying sky in Mogao Grottoes, think about the graceful waist twisting by the Lop Nur, think about all kinds of legends about Loulan.

Li Zhi was in surprisingly good condition today, Caiyu cried and called two maids, and a few people barely satisfied the prince.

Holding the Persian orchid in his arms at this time, Li Zhi was still carefully examining her body, and when he became the emperor himself, Anxi was a springboard, and Li Zhi wanted to make the countries around Anxi submit to the feet of the Tang Dynasty.

If I can live forever at the age of 15, the whole world will be under my feet.Li Zhi wanted to eat that mouthful of oily and spicy peppers!America can’t hold it, how can it be eaten?
Thinking about it, Li Zhi squeezed the Persian Orchid hard, and the Persian Orchid looked at the prince in pain, but his eyes were still obsessed.

On the second day at the Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Zhi looked at a down jacket that had already been made, and carefully spread the down jacket with his hands, stroking every place.

This body is for the queen mother, but I won't give it away at this time, and I will give it to the emperor's father when it is ready.

At this time, after folding the down jacket, Li Zhi watched Yun Xi busy at the side, watching Yun Xi doing needlework was also a kind of enjoyment for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was almost obsessed with watching those pair of jade hands shuttle back and forth with the needle and thread.

"Yun Xi, you look really good when you make clothes."

Yun Xi bit off a piece of thread with his teeth, and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in puzzlement, why did he look so good when he made clothes?Is there any difference between usual and when making clothes?
Li Zhi looked at her with puzzled eyes and didn't say anything. People in this era don't know that the working people are the most beautiful!

Li Zhi packed up the down jacket for his mother, and walked out of Yunxi's courtyard. Just as he walked out, he saw Xinruo leading a little eunuch and walked over here.

"Is the father looking for this palace?"

"Return to your highness, your majesty and empress are waiting for your highness at the Lizheng Hall!"

At this time, why did the emperor and the empress call him to the Lizheng Hall?

Li Zhi couldn't guess it, but he had to hurry to the palace. Li Zhi told Xinruo to prepare his horses and horses, so he rushed to the palace.

When he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Li Zhi saw his father, queen mother, and his three imperial sisters inside from a distance. Among them, his father and his son were playing chess, and the other three were watching beside them, looking happy.

When Li Zhi walked in, Si Zi looked at his father helplessly, and put away the chess pieces, ready to reposition them.

"Okay, son, let's stop, your brother emperor is here."

"Zhi'er has met the emperor father and the empress mother."

"Zhi'er, come here quickly, and sit on Father's side."

Li Zhi hurried over, looking at his father and queen mother, they called him here, what the hell is going on!
"Father, Queen Mother, let Zhi'er come to the Lizheng Hall today, do you have something to tell Zhi'er?"

"It's nothing important. In ten days or so, it will be New Year's Eve. Father and mother discussed with your mother, and want to add a few dishes to this year's New Year's Eve banquet."

"Father means that this year's New Year's Eve banquet will include the roast duck, garlic duck blood and duck blood vermicelli soup that the emperor presented a few days ago?"

"Zhi'er, that's exactly what your father meant."

"The emperor will have someone prepare it when he goes back today, and then he will buy back all the live ducks in Chang'an City."

"Zhi'er, you don't have to worry about the duck, your father has already ordered someone to take care of it."

"Then the emperor will transfer the cook of Prince Jin's Mansion to the Shangshi Bureau in the palace to help."

"By the way, Zhi'er, are there any new dishes recently? The queen mother has been a bit greedy recently."

As Empress Changsun said, Li Zhi realized that not only his mother was looking at him at this time, but also his father and three younger sisters were also looking at him eagerly!
They are all foodies!Li Zhi shouted depressed in his heart.

But this is not surprising, although the Tang royal family is very rich, although the Tang royal family can get as long as they can get anything in this era, the problem is that the dishes in this era are actually very monotonous, and the monotony makes people feel scared.

You must know that in the history of China, cooking was not created until the Song Dynasty, and shabu-shabu was introduced from the northern nomads, and it was not the nomads like the Huns and Turks, but Mongolia. , It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it began to gradually rise.

At this time, the staple food of the Tang Dynasty was noodles in the north and rice in the south, but there were very few dishes, and they were mainly boiled.

Even if the royal family can be richer, in fact, the richness is limited, and there are only so many back and forth.And there are so many royal taboos to die for.

For example, pork can’t be served on rice noodles, and dog meat can’t be served. Even beef and mutton are only eaten meat, not offal.As for vegetables, well, if Zhang Qian hadn't been sent to the Western Regions, it is estimated that Datang would not even have cucumbers and spinach at this time.

You don't even have to think about peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes.

Empress Changsun has been in Datang for six years, and the most worrying thing is the problem of eating. Fortunately, she is dressed in the royal family and is the queen of the world, otherwise the food of Datang would really be depressed to death Empress Changsun.

For so many years, it was only when Li Zhi came to Datang that he kept bringing surprises to Empress Changsun, such as maltose, and the roast duck blood a few days ago.

At this time, the glutton in Empress Changsun's belly was aroused. As for Li Shimin and the three princesses, they were also tired of eating boiled vegetables and boiled meat, and wanted to change their tastes.

The roast duck is so delicious, at this moment they naturally expect Li Zhi to bring more delicious food.

Li Zhi looked around and felt that he was possessed by the God of Cookery at this moment. Why did everyone look at him like a female goblin looking at Tang Seng, and he was almost drooling.

"Queen, when Zhi'er was making roast duck, he asked the maid to collect a lot of duck fat."

"Duck fat?"

Li Shimin asked strangely, why does he feel that this food is not tasty?

"Brother Huang, is the duck fat delicious?"

Heng Shan also asked a question, and licked Xiaozui's lips with his tongue.

"Zhier, how much duck fat have you collected?"

"About half a tank."

"So much, what are you going to do with this duck fat?"

Empress Changsun knew that duck oil can be used as frying oil, although in later generations, duck oil is a second-use oil, which is inferior to rapeseed oil and peanut oil.But at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, it would be good to have duck fat, so there is no need to pick it.

Empress Changsun naturally couldn't directly ask Li Zhi to use this duck oil to stir-fry vegetables and fried fruit twists, so naturally she could only ask Li Zhi what to do with this duck oil.

"Queen, a few days ago Zhi'er tried to use this duck oil to fry chicken and pork. It tastes good."

"Zhier, the smell of pork is so strong, can I eat it?"

The royal family does not eat pork, not because of ethnic and religious reasons, but because of the habits of pigs and the earthy smell of pork.

"Father, onion, ginger and garlic can remove the earthy smell of pork, and it can also remove the fishy smell of fish."

"Zhi'er, you greedy cat, have you been studying how to eat all day in the Prince Jin's mansion?"
