"I'll perform a cucumber with straw raincoats now, you'll see," said Master Hu.

Master Hu wanted to perform knife skills, so he took out a piece of cucumber and started cutting the straw cucumber. The so-called straw cucumber is to cut the cucumber into slices, but it is not cut off. After cutting a piece of cucumber, the cucumber remains connected together, but it can extend like a straw cucumber.

"Okay, I'm finished covering up, you can try it!" said Master Hu.

Jing Wen looked at it and suddenly said, "Master, can I use two chopsticks to cushion it so that I can learn it quickly!"

"Oh? You actually have this kind of idea? Even Master, I didn't expect it. Since you have figured it out, then you can use it! It seems that you are really a material for learning something wrong!" Master Hu nodded and said.

Of course, Jing Wen would not admit that he learned this method in a later generation called "Daily Diet". It is a method that newcomers can learn as soon as possible when learning to cut cucumbers in straw raincoats.

"Ka...Ka...Ka..." Jing Wen cut very slowly with a knife because he is not a professional chef!

Master Hu did not urge him, because Jing Wen was just a beginner and not a veteran, so Master Hu certainly would not use the old chef's request to ask him.

When Jing Wen finally finished getting a straw raincoat and cucumber, a man wearing eunuch's clothes walked in.

"Everyone, the Queen has an order." The eunuch said in a sharp voice.

Everyone looked at the eunuch one after another, and Master Hu immediately asked with a smile: "Dude, what order does the Empress have?"

"The Empress said that the Emperor has not eaten much food for two days. You must make the Emperor's appetite better. If you cannot make dishes that will make the Emperor's appetite strong, then you will be punished. If you can make it, the Empress will be rewarded. Okay, I will tell you all, and I will go back first."

After the eunuch passed the order, he left immediately, but the imperial chefs on the scene were in pain.

"The Empress is a difficult situation for us. Is the emperor unable to eat the dishes because they are not good? This is a heart disease!" Master Hu said helplessly.

Jing Wen immediately asked: "What's going on? What's wrong with the emperor?"

"A few days ago, the Turks had just withdrawn their troops, but we all knew about it. The emperor gave all the treasures in the treasury to the Turks, so the Turks retreated. The emperor was really sulking, and he didn't have the appetite to eat! The Empress is making things difficult for us!" Master Hu said.

Jing Wen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, because he had read many Qidian novels, of course he knew that the Tang Dynasty had a history, which was the shame of the Wei River. After Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, the Turks took advantage of Li Shimin's foothold and wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty was not strong enough. In order to get the Turks to retreat and protect Li Shimin's throne, they gave all the wealth of the treasury to the Turks. Although the Turks withdrew their troops, they spent money to buy peace. How could Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who was a heroic ruler, swallow this breath smoothly? Therefore, Li Shimin had a bad appetite these days and could not even eat. When Empress Changsun saw this situation, she immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to make good dishes to make the emperor appetizer. But how could such a problem be solved by good dishes? In this case, no matter how good the dishes are, it is difficult to touch people's appetite!

"Hey, what should I do? If we can't do it, then the Queen will not be able to punish our sins!" Jing Wen asked in a hurry.

"There is no other way. If the Empress wants to punish you, then I will take it all my strength. I hope that my years of experience in the imperial chef will be able to let you go after the Empress dealt with me!" said Master Hu.

"Master!" Everyone said in surprise.

"Master, we believe we can do what we can do, don't give up easily! Master, let's all think of a way together and we can do it." An imperial chef said with great concern.

Master Hu's popularity at this time showed that everyone was looking for ways, instead of taking advantage of the situation, he hoped that Master Hu would take the responsibility himself.

"Master, where are the dishes made for the emperor? Let me see?" Jing Wen asked.

"It's there!" Master Hu pointed to the side.

Jing Wen went over and found that it was a plate of beef. Jing Wen picked up a slice of chopsticks and tasted it. Jing Wen's behavior was not stopped by everyone because it was reasonable. Since ancient times, the first person to taste the dish was not the diner, but the chef. Because the chef had to taste the taste, otherwise he wouldn't know if there were too many seasonings. Therefore, even the emperor was not the first person to taste the imperial meal, but the imperial chef was the first person to taste it.

"Woo...drip!" Jing Wen put the beef in his mouth, and immediately couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomited out.

"Xiaowen, what's wrong with you?" Master Hu asked.

"Master, are you going to make such pig food for the emperor?" Jing Wen asked.

"What are you saying? Why is this pig food? It's obviously imperial food!" said Master Hu.

"Master, such a bad dish is obviously pig food!" Jing Wen said dissatisfied.

When Master Hu heard Jing Wen say this, he immediately came over and ate it with a piece of beef and said, "No! Not bad!"

"Master, why do you eat with relish?" Jing Wen asked in confusion.

Jing Wen didn't understand it very much. This is obviously something that is pig food, but why did Master Hu eat it with relish? Is it the same flavor of the imperial meal?

"Master, is this the taste of imperial dishes?" Jing Wen asked.

"Yes! This is the imperial meal! Of course, it's just this taste, which is much better than the dishes outside." Master Hu said proudly.

"Master, do you know what the eight major cuisines are?" Jing Wen asked.

"What are the eight major cuisines? The dishes are dishes, are they still divided into divisions?" Master Hu asked in a different understanding.

"How can you not know the eight major cuisines? The eight major cuisines are something that chefs must learn!" Jing Wen said.

Master Hu was a little unhappy and asked, "Are you a master or I a master? It's not your turn to teach me!"

Jing Wen didn't dare to speak because he was his master! However, Jing Wen thought to himself, did the Tang Dynasty not even divide the cuisine? Although Jing Wen learned some cooking skills, he learned it from the "Everyday Food" column on TV. He didn't know that the so-called eight major cuisines were born in the Qing Dynasty. Even the most primitive cuisines were only available in the Song Dynasty.

As for the dishes of the Tang Dynasty, it was very ordinary. The dishes were made more and more refined, and the times developed, the better they were made. Therefore, the dishes of the Tang Dynasty were far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty, and were even more incomparable than those of the major cuisines in later generations. As for the imperial chefs of the Tang Dynasty, the level of cooking was probably not as good as that of an ordinary person in later generations. Although they were just a home-cooked dish in later generations, they were the essence of chefs improved for thousands of years, and there was more knowledge in them. Therefore, how could Jing Wen, an otaku who was greedy for the dishes of later generations, endure such "pig food" in the Tang Dynasty? Even if the imperial chefs were made, they were just high-level "pig food".
