People in the Han Dynasty were still relatively poor in food.

Even emperors or empresses may not eat as well as modern people.

After all, there are too few seasonings and various ingredients are scarce.

Tang Qi showed off his skills and Wei Zifu was full of praise.

To be honest, Tang Qi was quite happy.

It feels so good to be praised.

"Mr. Tang, is this pot of soup ready now? If it is, I will wake up your majesty and drink the soup now!"

Wei Zifu asked Tang Qi expectantly.

There is a real relationship between her and Liu Che, unlike Zhen Huan and Yong Zheng in the Qing Dynasty, who seemed to be inseparable.

Tang Qi thought for a while and replied: "Wait a little longer, I'll prepare another dish, and then you wake them up again!"

Wei Zifu frowned slightly and said, "In this case, will the fish soup be overpowering?"

"Don't worry, the fish soup will only become more flavorful as it simmers, it won't be overdone!"

Tang Qi said and prepared to enter the wooden house.

At this time, Wei Qing suddenly sounded nearby: "It smells so good, Mr. Tang, are your dishes ready?"

Tang Qi looked at Wei Qing and saw that the guy didn't even have any shoes on and was still a little out of breath.

You don't need to think about it to know that this guy must have smelled the aroma of fish soup and ran over without even having time to put on his shoes.

After all, Wei Qing is also a warrior and has a big appetite.

For Wei Qing, the egg fried rice he had for lunch was just enough to fill his teeth.

By now Wei Qing's stomach was growling with hunger, and he couldn't bear the temptation of fish soup.

Tang Qi secretly chuckled and said to Wei Qing: "This is one of the big dishes I made, fish head and tofu soup. Do you want to try it?"

"this……"

Wei Qing was a little hesitant.

Like Wei Zifu, he felt that delicacies should be presented to His Majesty the Emperor first.

However, Wei Zifu still felt sorry for her younger brother. She said: "Since Mr. Tang has invited me, Qing brother, please have a bowl first. There is still a lot in the pot anyway, so you can taste it for His Majesty."

!”

Wei Qing couldn't help but nodded and said: "Sister is right, His Majesty has always been picky about food, so it would be better if I help him taste it first!"

After saying that, Wei Qing looked at Tang Qi again and said, "Mr. Tang, you're welcome. I'll scoop up a bowl and try it first!"

Tang Qi quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't do it. I am very particular about my fish head and tofu soup. If you scoop it yourself, it will destroy the structure of the ingredients. I'll scoop it for you!"

The fish head meat and tofu are at their most tender. If you stir too much with a spoon, the fish head meat and tofu will be easily scattered.

Wei Qing nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, then I will listen to Mr. Tang, please trouble Mr. Tang!"

"It's just a small thing!"

Tang Qi returned to the stove and carefully scooped soup from the pot, trying not to damage the integrity of the fish head.

Soon, a bowl of milky white fish soup was placed in front of Wei Qing.

Tang Qi said lightly: "This is fish head and tofu soup. If you want to taste it, you can try it now!"

Wei Qing could no longer hold back any longer. Hearing this, he quickly picked up the bowl and drank heavily.

As soon as he took the first sip, Wei Qing's eyes widened. He obviously didn't expect that the fish soup could be so delicious!

“Fresh, so fresh!”

Wei Qing praised it loudly, and then vomited it like a tiger.

In less than three seconds, the pottery bowl bottomed out.

"belch!"

Wei Qing burped quite contentedly, with an expression of enjoyment.

"This fish soup... really tastes so good?"

Liu Che appeared behind Wei Qing at some point and suddenly asked.

Wei Qing was also too reminiscing about Liu Che's voice, so he subconsciously replied: "Can this be fake? The fish meat is so plump and tender that it melts in your mouth, not to mention the tofu, which is smooth and tender.

I almost swallowed my tongue!"

"Gulu!"

Liu Che swallowed, obviously greedy.

Only then did Wei Qing realize that it was His Majesty the Emperor who was speaking just now.

He hurriedly put the pottery bowl on the stove, turned to look at Liu Chezuo and said, "Qing, I have met Your Majesty. Qing was disrespectful to Your Majesty just now. Please forgive me!"

Liu Che waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, we are living on a desert island now, so we don't need to worry about red tape. You are also someone who shares the same difficulties with me, so relax!"

Even so, Wei Qing still responded respectfully: "Yes, I try to be more relaxed, but the etiquette must not be discarded!"

Liu Che nodded, then looked at Tang Qi, and asked expectantly: "Mr. Tang, can you serve me a bowl of this fish soup?"

Tang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you want to drink, just go and scoop it out yourself. This is originally cooked for you to drink! But I advise you to be patient for now and wait until I prepare another big dish before we can join you."

Eat, drink, and enjoy delicious food all at once!”

Liu Che suddenly felt a little confused.

He really wanted to taste the fish soup now and feel the deliciousness that Wei Qing was so amazed by.

But at the same time, he also wants to enjoy all the delicious food at once.

After struggling for several seconds, Liu Che said: "Mr. Tang, may I ask what this other big dish is?"

Tang Qi replied: "Another big dish is fish with distiller's grains!"

"Fish with distiller's grains?"

Liu Che frowned and said, "Could it be fish made from distiller's lees? The distiller's lees is so sour, can the fish made from it be eaten?"

Tang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course you can eat it, and it's even more delicious than this fish head and tofu soup!"

The brewing technology in the Han Dynasty was not developed, so the distiller's grains were naturally sour.

Liu Che only smelled the smell of distiller's lees once, and he hated this stuff deeply. Naturally, he didn't believe that distiller's lees could make delicious food.

"Mr. Tang, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to adapt to the delicious distiller's rice fish you mentioned, so I'd better drink fish soup first!"

Liu Che made a decision.

You can drink all you want fish soup without touching a morsel of fish with distiller's grains.

Tang Qi didn't force himself and handed the spoon directly to Liu Che, then walked into the wooden house and walked to the wine jar.

When I opened the cloth cover, a strong aroma of wine suddenly hit my nostrils.

Tang Qi just smelled it, and a blush appeared on his cheeks, which proved that this bottle was definitely good wine.

"Wow!"

Tang Qi fished out the big fish marinated in the wine jar.

Remove the lees covering the surface of the large fish, leaving only the lees in the belly.

After that, Tang Qi used a kitchen knife to make a few cuts on the big fish, in order to make the big fish more flavorful when steamed.

After handling the fish body, Tang Qi placed the big fish in a pottery plate, put the pottery plate in the steamer, and then carried it to the stove outside.

At this time, Liu Che had finished a bowl of fish soup and was marveling.

Seeing Tang Qi coming out with the fish, Liu Che couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Tang, is your distiller's fish ready?"

Tang Qi put the steamer on the iron pot, closed the lid, and then looked at Liu Che and said, "Steam it for a while longer before the fish with distiller's grains is ready. You can take a few bites at that time, and it will definitely change your view of the fish with distiller's grains."
