Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Gu Hanzhou's eyes lit up and he answered directly without counting: "28."

So, Lin Shuangshuang lay in Gu Hanzhou's ear and whispered: "Be obedient and I will give you two little red flowers tonight."

After hearing this, the man nodded wildly as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

After Lin Shuangshuang comforted Gu Hanzhou, he went to the imperial dining room.

"Did I ask for the things that were sent to the palace to be delivered?"

"Mr. Lin, look at those, are they?" The head chef pointed to a tightly wrapped carriage outside the door. Judging from the appearance, there should be a lot of bottles and cans inside.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Well, open the things."

Several people opened the cover on the carriage and saw that the carriage was filled with many bottles and cans, as well as a big fat pig that had been bled.

It was the first time that the imperial chef saw such a big pig, and he was surprised and said: "This pig weighs at least four to five hundred kilograms, right?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Absolutely."

"Master Lin, why did you bring this pork to the palace?"

"This is cheap meat, and the nobles in the palace will not eat it."

Lin Shuangshuang was not surprised at all when she saw his reaction, but explained patiently: "These are pigs I fed with grain. They are different from ordinary pigs."

"This pig is a live pig that I transported all the way from Qingshui Town. It was just killed this morning to ensure it is fresh and delicious."

The head chef felt less disgusted when he heard that the pig was fed grain instead of eating feces.

But it is still difficult for people who have never eaten pork to accept pork, let alone the nobles in the palace.

"Mr. Lin, do you want to make pork today?"

Lin Shuangshuang explained: "It mainly uses fat meat to boil lard, and also makes a few pork-based dishes."

"Boiled in lard?"

"Ah."

With that said, Lin Shuangshuang began to instruct the people in the imperial kitchen to start working: "Find a few good knife skills and kick off the fat and suet first, leaving the lean meat and pork belly."

"Yes, that's all, minus the pork."

"Cut the fat into small pieces and refine the oil later."

The staff in the imperial kitchen were busy and took out a large basin full of fat and fat.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuangshuang asked someone to bring down a large iron pot with two ears from the carriage and start boiling lard.

Soon, a large pot of fat began to slowly become smaller and oilier under the high temperature, and eventually turned into a steaming transparent liquid that covered half of the pot.

"Okay, the lard is cooked. From now on, we will use lard for cooking."

"You must use oil for cooking, so boiling lard is the most important thing. You must learn how to do it."

"Stir-fry?"

The head chef's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Shuangshuang talking about cooking.

The potato dishes yesterday were made using the stir-frying method. This was the first time he had seen it. After he finished cooking it, he was stunned when he saw how delicious, delicious and delicious the dishes were.

So what he was most looking forward to today was that Lin Shuangshuang taught him how to cook.

As a result, she cut the fat meat and boiled it in lard as soon as it was served, which made him a little disappointed.

"Master Lin, you ask me to do it next."

"also."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the cut pork and said, "Make some pork dishes. This pork cannot be wasted."

So, as noon approached, the table was filled with fragrant dishes, including pork belly, twice-cooked pork, braised pork knuckles, braised pork trotters, meatballs, meatballs, meat dumplings, meat buns...

Every dish is prepared by the royal chef himself, so naturally he has tasted every dish.

He couldn't believe that pork could be so fragrant and tasted better than mutton and beef.

It only has the aroma of meat and no fishy smell at all, which is completely different from the impression of pork.

The head chef asked excitedly: "Mr. Lin, can the fishy smell of the pork be removed by feeding the pigs with grain?"

"No."

"If you want to get rid of the fishy smell of pork, you need to castrate the piglets."

"Castration?"

"Yes, this is the key to getting rid of the fishy smell."

"After castration, the unpleasant pig smell will be removed, and pigs in heat will not be in heat. Pigs in heat will have a bad temper and will not get fat if they don't eat pig food."

The head chef took a look at the remaining half of the pig. No wonder the pigs raised by Mr. Lin could grow to such a big size. It turned out to be castrated.

"What does Master Lin mean by castration?"

"Ask the eunuchs in the cleaning room about this. They know best."

"Just use whatever medicine you use on the pig after the eunuch is castrated. Reduce the dosage by half. You won't need to worry about it until the wound heals in a few days."

The head chef nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had remembered it.

It seems that pigs will be fed in the courtyard of the imperial dining room in the future. Even if they don't eat pork, they will still be raised for lard.

Lin Shuangshuang also made a special statement: "Pigs are omnivores and will eat anything. Just feed them some leftovers, peels and leaves from the royal kitchen. Don't waste food."

"If there are no leftovers, you can mix pigweed and rice bran with some grains."

The manager of the imperial kitchen said that Lin Shuangshuang can rest assured that the most indispensable thing in the imperial kitchen is leftovers, rotten peels and leaves.

After a while, he went to get dozens of piglets and sent them to the cleaning room for castration. They had to raise them as soon as possible, otherwise the lard would not be enough after a while.

"That's it for today. I'll come back tomorrow."

"Lord Laurin is here today. I will take you out."

"No need."

As soon as Lin Shuangshuang came out of the imperial dining room, she met Yuxiu, the maid beside the queen, and said that she was summoned by the queen.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Aunt Yuxiu, please lead the way."

"Master Lin, please come with me."

Yuxiu felt slightly awkward when she said this, and there was always a rule in her mind that no official could enter or exit the harem at will.

But Lin Shuangshuang is a woman, so she can naturally enter and leave the harem at will.

It's just that the title Master Lin is always confusing.

Phoenix Palace.

"Master Lin, please come inside."

"Welcoming ministers, please see the Queen. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The queen said with a kind look on her face: "Master Lin, please get up."

"Come and give me a seat."

"Tea."

"Thank you, Queen."

"I wonder what the Queen wants to do with Wei Chen?"

The queen smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I've been feeling unwell recently, so I wanted Master Lin to check my pulse."

"After all, you and I are both women, so it's always easier to talk."

"Yes."

Lin Shuangshuang stepped forward to check the queen's pulse. There was nothing major wrong with her, just minor problems such as poor rest, lack of energy and blood, and cold hands and feet.

"Weichen gave the empress a recipe. The empress ate according to the recipe for a period of time, and her body gradually recovered."

"In addition, after dinner, take a walk in the Imperial Garden for an hour."

"Soaking your feet in moxa leaf water before going to bed can improve sleep."

The queen asked softly: "Don't you need to prescribe medicine?"

"No, medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. As long as the empress eats well, exercises moderately, and sleeps well, the aching and cold body ailments will naturally improve."

"Then do I still need to continue taking those tonics I took before?"
