Since I’m cooking, Chen Chu must prepare the ingredients first.

Huadiao wine is the signature in my store, and I have all the onions, ginger, garlic and other things, but there are not too many wolfberry and Panax notoginseng, so I just go out to buy some.

Chen Chu runs a tavern and serves the dishes for the guests very well, so he can serve whatever he thinks of.

So Chen Chu also knows vegetable sellers.

I went out to buy some seasonings and another fat duck. Seeing the duck seller stripping off the duck feathers, bleeding them, and then cleaning them up, Chen Ci didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart, and even thought the duck was good.

There is no mercifulness because Tong Leier, who was once the other party, was merciful.

After buying the materials, Chen Ci took out the casserole and washed it and put it aside.

Back in the front hall, while waiting for Li Bai's arrival, he recalled the way Taibai Duck did.

This dish about Li Bai was a bit famous in later generations, but it was a bit troublesome to make.

After Li Bai arrived, he just took out the money and put it on the counter to ask Chen Chu what he had eaten today, but Chen Chu directly pulled the other party to the kitchen.

"Brother Taibai, what do you think people need most when walking in the world?"

"Money?" Li Bai replied subconsciously.

"It should be a skill," Chen Chu said.

"I have it. Isn't it enough to have my talent?" Li Bai said proudly.

"Talent cannot be used as a food. If you want to become an official in the court, do you think you can get the recognition of Your Majesty by writing poetry alone?" Chen Chu said bitterly.

"I think it can."

"No, no, you can write poems at most to make the other person feel that there is a little ink in your stomach, but he will not treat you as his own. If you know how to cook and grab your Majesty's stomach, it will catch your Majesty's heart. I'm helping you!"

"But if you do this, isn't that the same as those flattering villains?"

"This is a bad saying. This is not flattery. Do you know the opportunity at this time? And isn't you writing poems to your Majesty to please your Majesty? Besides, a person must have the highlights of letting others live in his home. If one is not enough, then two, so I think it's better for you to learn more."

"What's wrong with you today? I've pulled me here and said so much. Is it Sazi's meaning?"

Li Bai was kept insincere by Chen Chu and said all the dialects he had wandered around his hometown.

"Nothing else, I just want to teach you a dish."

"This, then you've said it earlier. Come on, let's see what you want to teach me to do today." Li Bai began to look at the ingredients prepared by Chen Chu.

There are duck, wolfberry, Panax notoginseng, and some other seasonings.

"Is it possible that the duck that needs to be done this time?"

"Yes, this is a dish I created and it is for you, so I prepared this dish for Chen Chu for Taibai Duck!"

Chen Chu was very shameless and directly put on his father's food.

I shouldn't be considered a copycat, right?

At most, he is a duck boy.

"Okay, what do I need to do? Do I complete all the processes?"

"Yes, you will definitely like it. First of all, you have to wash your hands. There is a basin of water there." Chen Chu directed.

Chen Chu and the other party washed their hands and prepared to start teaching the other party to cook.

According to rumors, Taibai Duck was when Li Bai lived in Shu for nearly twenty years and liked to eat local steamed ducks. Then, when he was in his forties, he finally entered the court to become an official.

But at that time, Li Bai, who was so ambitious that he wanted to contribute to the court with his grand ambitions, wanted to contribute to the court. However, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang only regarded Li Bai as a "jester" who wrote poems and lyrics, and did not use him politically. In addition, Li Bai was arrogant and despised the powerful and noble, and was slandered by Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi and others, which gradually alienated Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

In order to realize his political ambitions, Li Bai finally temporarily put down his arrogance and tried every means to approach Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

So he thought that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a great attitude towards food and drink, so he remembered the steamed duck that he liked very much at the time, so he added some things to him and presented them to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

But Chen Chu thinks that the bug in this story is very obvious!

As for Li Bai's cooking skills, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang praised him all the time. Even Li Bai himself didn't believe this.

So Chen Chu planned to teach Li Bai this dish first. Anyway, there are more than ten years left, so Li Bai can slowly practice this dish.

Then follow this opportunity and complete half of the task of writing two poems by yourself.

Chen Ci's poem has been revised, so I'm waiting to tell Li Bai.

But now my confidant is still a duck.

"Brother Taibai, the most important thing about this Taibai tooth is pickling and heat. I have already processed the duck in front. I will tell you the next step. How about you doing it first?"

"sure."

"I've made the money to buy it, but I still have to tell Brother Taibai that when you make Taibai's teeth, you must first choose a fat and tender duck, but it should not be too greasy, otherwise it will affect the taste. After choosing a duck, you need to remove the hair of the duck first, then rinse it, cut off the claws, drain the water, put it in a boiling water pot and remove it, and remove the blood foam."

"What does flying water mean?"

"Even if you cook all the blood on the duck, it won't last too long. You can watch this market yourself, as long as it doesn't last too long." Chen Chu explained.

"Then I used Huadiao Lao wine and salt to spread the duck inside and outside. Of course, pepper is the best. But now pepper is the royal royal use, and I can't do it for now, so I can't use it for now. Put the duck with seasonings in a casserole, add green onion, ginger slices, and a small amount of fresh soup, put it in pigs, wolfberry, 37 slices, and seal it with rind paper."

"Wait a minute, please speak slowly, I'll come step by step."

Although Li Bai's sword dance was pretty good, he still seemed a little anxious when cutting vegetables. Chen Chu watched the other party cut the onions and ginger slices, and then added the fresh soup that he had in the store before.

Then he started to cut the pig in a hurry.

"Brother Taibai, the pig is not cut like this. You have to hold it first, and then slow it forward and backward to enter the knife. It is impossible for you to be so hard."

After listening to Chen Chu's teachings, Li Bai was still a little slow when he was cutting.

Fortunately, the pigs didn't use much, so it took almost ten minutes to Li Bai finally cut the pig and put it in the casserole.

Finally, under Chen Chu's guidance, put an appropriate amount of Panax notoginseng and wolfberry, as well as the sliced ​​green onion and ginger slices that had been cut before.

"Then seal the mouth with velvet paper, right?"

"Yes, remember to have some thick smoke, otherwise the fragrance inside will run away." Chen Chu explained again.

"What's next?"

"Next, put this in the cage and steam it with high heat for about an hour and a half." Seeing Li Bai do as he did, Chen Chu asked again: "Do you need me to help you grow firewood?"

"No need to do this, I will do it myself, I will do this!" Li Bai thought to himself what was difficult about making a fire.

As a result, a guest came outside at this time. Chen Chu went to entertain him. As a result, the guest just planned to buy some wine and went back. Chen Chu helped the other party to make some wine.

But the customer took the wine and paid the money and did not leave immediately.

"What does your room smell like? Is the kitchen on fire?"

Chen Chu then realized that Li Bai was still inside!

Could this guy have ordered his own kitchen?

So I thanked the guests first, and then rushed to the kitchen under the eyes of the other party's different eyes.

As soon as I entered, I saw a man with a smoky face smiling at him with big white teeth.

"Zixiu, I've lit it!"

It seems to be quite proud.

Chen Chu didn't know what to say: "It's good, but I think it's better for you to wash your face first."

"Wash your face? Why?"

"You will know if you go out and take a look at the basin section."

Only then did Li Bai bring the basin outside with doubts, but found that his face was dark and numb, which scared him directly.

After finally rubbing it clean, Li Bai could always feel a smoky smell on his face.

Maybe it's stained on the hair, right?

But forget it, no matter what he did, this time he felt very satisfied with what he did.

Listening to the sound of water outside, Chen Chu opened all the windows to scatter the smoke, and sighed: "Li Bai has just been out for two years now, and he is not steady enough."

Thinking of this, Chen Chu thought of the old man Li Bai in the illustration of Jingyesi in the textbook.

I painted a 26-year-old Li Bai as an old man, but I still promoted it everywhere. Even if it was to cater to the atmosphere, I had to tell the basic law.

If Li Bai saw that picture, he would probably want to jump up and hit someone on the spot.

One and a half hours, or three hours, they spent the chat outside quickly. Chen Chu was not in a hurry, but Brother Li Bai ran in to take a look and smelled it in front of him.

As time passed, the fragrance gradually spread out, and Li Bai was very happy to smell the fragrance inside.

When I was about to go out, I kept saying that I had to drink more in the past few days to commemorate my first successful cooking!

In fact, the difficulty of being too white duck lies in the cumbersome process. After all, one is pickling and the other is the heat. If the fire is small, the duck may not be stewed hard. If the fire is too high, the water inside may be dried, so you must always maintain the high heat at the upper middle.

Wait until the moment Taibai duck is really placed on the table and uncovers the velvet paper.

The fragrance inside suddenly overflowed!

The oil precipitated by the fat duck floats on the rich soup, but it does not look greasy. Instead, it has a unique fragrance. The added Panax notoginseng and wolfberry are mixed into this fragrance, making the taste go to a higher level.

The onion segments floating on the soup and the tender ducks are blue and white, and Chen Chu can give them eight points just by showing off his appearance.
