Sixty, the battle of pigs and sheep

Although Li Ye said that he would cook in person, after an hour, he saw Li Ye skillfully cleaning pork and diced ginger and slice it. Degong and Ajiao were still stunned. The cook in the mansion wanted to come and help, but he was sent away by him.

Degong stood far away, looking like he was drawing a clear line with him: "Seeing that you are so skillful, may you often do this?"

Li Ye put the diced meat into the pot, then added firewood to cook: "It's not that often, it's just an interest." He said that, he put star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves that he accidentally found in the kitchen of the royal palace put in another pot and fry.

The kitchen of the royal palace is very wide, and there are more than one room. After all, when the royal palace is in its peak, hundreds or thousands of people often eat during festivals. It is definitely a big chore to take care of banquets, meals, wine and drinks. One or two kitchens can’t handle it.

Gillian came over curiously, frowned slightly, and kept a distance for a while, as if the dark pot would bite people. After all, she was also the eldest lady of the prime minister's family who was not touching the spring water without touching the spring water.

"Can't you have any other interests? Poetry, songs, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even if you don't practice martial arts, why are you lingering between the pot and the stove..." Degong sighed, as if he was sorry for him.

Li Ye skimmed the oil foam cooked from the diced meat with a wooden spoon and said, "Why can't you cook when you have to cook with chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Duke De looked serious and caressed his beards: "This is a precept for the sages and sages, and future generations should follow it carefully."

"You must remember what my ancestors said, but you can't follow the rules and keep your words alive." After a while, the water had already started. Li Ye annealed, poured out the diced meat, then rinsed it with cold water, and quickly cooled it down. This way, the meat was filled with chewyness.

Duke De opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yexian.

"What our ancestors said has their own reasons, but Duke De, the Han Dynasty is powerful and invincible, can he have verses?" Li continued to ask.

"Of course, there is no. The poems and verses started at the end of the Sui Dynasty. We were not allowed to enter the Great Hall until the wise and powerful people of our dynasty fill in the gaps." Degong was obviously proud of this, and Li Ye also believed that he should be proud.

What is a literary treasure and a famous work of handed down from generation to generation? In fact, Li Ye doesn’t know so much, but the method of distinguishing is very simple. When you get old, you will let your descendants learn about the treasure of handed down from generation to generation.

Those poems and essays that were controversial and derogatory in special periods are still read to future generations thousands of years later. No matter what kind of slander they have been, they are still beautiful imprints that flow into the blood of famous people and are treasures of the past of the Chinese nation.

Duke De deserves pride and pride.

"Yes, so my ancestors did not pass on verses, but later generations created verses that they were proud of. Isn't this the best proof?

Respecting our ancestors does not mean following the rules and conserving the old ways, but cherishing our ancestors’ protection, inheriting our ancestors’ achievements, and striving for innovation. After all, one day, we descendants will eventually become descendants. If we do not make any progress in our lives and do not make progress, wouldn’t we be ashamed of our descendants?” Li Ye said, adding the diced meat with water-cooled meat into a pot and fry it with star anise, bay leaves and cinnamon.

After hearing this, Jiao was stunned. She thought about it and wanted to speak but couldn't speak. She only felt that the prince seemed to be more distant and attractive, with dazzling lights that made people unable to remove her eyes.

Duke De fell into deep thought and arrived for a long time: "But it's still a woman's job..."

Li Ye smiled and shook his head. The old man was not stubborn. Degong was one of the most open-minded and transparent people he had ever seen in this world, but no matter how it was possible to immediately change the belief that people would implement for the rest of their lives.

"Soldiers sacrifice their lives for ordinary people, so people respect them. Isn't that the cook's wife doing things that ordinary people don't want to do, but they don't have to die. Great good and small good are also good. How can you say something humble in the stove? In my opinion, no matter what kind of good is good for others in this world, you can't say something humble in the world." Li Ye said loudly. This is a voice from a thousand years later. It is incompatible with this era. He dare not say something to others, but it is OK to Degong.

The old man opened his mouth and couldn't speak. After a long time, he sighed and shook his head and said, "I wasted decades and saw you with such a thorough view for the first time. But just say this to me, don't spread it everywhere, otherwise there may be trouble." Then he solemnly reminded me.

Of course Li Ye knew these things and nodded with a smile: "Haha, I'm not stupid, I'll just tell you, there is someone who can speak and feels comfortable."

Degong also stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, that's fine, let me taste what kind of meat your enterprising and innovative pork is."

.........

When frying, sprinkle the plum wine from Degong to remove the fishy smell and fry until both sides are golden brown. Then add soy sauce and turn it evenly. Finally, add water and add slices of ginger, red dates, and sugar. Cover the pot and simmer.

Another pot is used to stir-fry peanuts on one side.

"Criminal, I... can I help?" It seemed that after hearing what happened just now, Jiao looked at him with respect, probably feeling something, and wanted to help.

Li Ye looked at her with a funny look: "Then please help me watch the pot and call me after the water boils." Assigning her a job without any technical difficulty. The little girl nodded in joy, feeling that she was involved.

Li Ye set up a new pot and washed rice and cooked rice. The water in winter was so cold that it made his fingers hurt and numb, but this was nothing to him. After cooking it halfway, the rice soup was filtered dry, then covered the pot and steamed it with charcoal on the open heat. After the rice was cooked, it was crispy and delicious.

After a while, Gillian asked him anxiously... After the meat was cooked, add salt, and the juice was reduced on high heat. The braised pork was also good. Li Ye was not in a hurry to get the pot and simmer it on low heat to increase the flavor.

......

The charcoal fire was strong in the pavilion, and there were simple dishes on the stone table, tempting braised pork, stir-fried peanuts, dried radish pickled in the palace, and radish soup, all made by Li Ye himself.

There were mats on the stone bench, and Degong and Ajiao in front of Li Ye were both looking at the plate of pork, with hesitation expressions.

"Don't worry, I didn't poison it, I don't believe it to taste it." Li Ye put down his chopsticks and ate one piece, and the same taste as in his memory. He came to this world for more than two months and tasted the taste of his previous life again after a long absence. He felt mixed feelings in his heart.

"Is this the prince's work of innovating and innovativeness..." Jiao hesitated for a while, and mustered up the courage to pick up a small piece, carefully took a small bite, and was stunned in an instant, saying in disbelief: "Is this really pork?"

Seeing this, Duke De put down his chopsticks, tasted it and then tasted it again. After that, he couldn't stop and put down his chopsticks one after another, without caring about his style.

The old man said after eating several pieces of food: "Incredible, incredible. I clearly saw that this is pork... But the meat is fat but not greasy, soft and sweet. After eating it, the lips and teeth are fragrant, which is much better than mutton."

"How could this prince be an ordinary person?" Li Ye said proudly.

"This is obviously pork, how could it be..." Gillian also ate several pieces in small mouthfuls.

Li Ye waved his hand: "I said earlier that pork is not cheap meat, but it cannot be cooked properly. Innovation and progress are the way to wealth. If I were in Tingyulou, I could sell 400 ounces of meat!"

When Duke De heard this, he was indignant: "Oh, you treacherous boy, the pork is only 120 cents per pound, but you are less than half a pound of this plate, how dare you sell 500 cents!"

Li Ye didn't care: "Ha, so what? mutton is 800 yuan per pound, and everyone flocks to it. Degong, do you think that if all the people in the world can eat meat, is it better to eat pork or mutton?"
