I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan was almost choked to death by his own saliva, if it was divided, it would be obvious at a glance that something was wrong.

Liu Tan hurriedly said: "Father, there is a dining room for everyone, and the two of us have our own!"

But Liu Che said: "That's different, yours must not be as big as mine."

Liu Tan was about to cry, although he was very happy that Liu Che would share with them, and only he and Lu Xuan had it, but the problem is that if they really split, they would reveal their secrets!

Although Liu Tan's expression was well maintained, Lu Xuan was not too far away from him, and he could tell at a glance that Liu Tan's limbs looked a little stiff at this moment.

Although he didn't know why Liu Tan didn't want to share, Lu Xuan still said: "Your Majesty's ability to catch this fish must be the blessing bestowed on His Majesty by the heavens. If they are separated, it may be harmful to His Majesty. Xiao Wang and His Highness the King of the Northern Realm will only I hope that His Majesty will have a long-lasting blessing, this is our blessing, so this fish should be exclusively enjoyed by His Majesty."

Liu Che was in a good mood at the moment, and with Lu Xuan's sincerity on his face, he smiled with satisfaction after hearing it: "If that's the case, then I'll catch two more big fish and give it to you next time."

Liu Tan let out a long sigh of relief, and then gave Lu Xuan a thumbs up with the movement of holding the wine cup.

Liu Che saw their eyebrows very clearly from above, but he didn't say anything. He just let Hu Ji prepare vegetables for him and tasted a mouthful of West Lake vinegar fish first.

The piece of fish that Hu Ji picked up for him was the tenderest part of the whole fish. After eating it, Liu Che felt that the fish was tender and tasted sweet and sour, and there was some original sweetness of the fish in it. He couldn't help being a little surprised: " This fish has no fishy smell, not bad.”

In fact, people don’t like fish very much these days, because the fishy smell is too strong to remove, and no matter how it is cooked, it has a fishy smell. People who don’t like it don’t like it very much.

Liu Che didn't really like fish at first, but this fish was the fruit of his labor, and he heard that Liu Tan had been busy in the dining room for a long time, so he was willing to eat a few more bites, but he didn't expect the taste to surprise him. The sweet and sour taste I like can't taste fishy. It's completely different from the taste of sweet and sour pork ribs. Compared with the sweet and sour pork ribs, this dish is lighter and refreshing. Even Liu Che can't help but eat more A few mouthfuls.

Not to mention Liu Che, but there is no one who doesn't like Liu Tan's version of West Lake Vinegar Fish.

There is less sugar these days, so there are not many dishes that use sugar. These people rarely eat such dishes on weekdays. They have heard of the secret palace dish sweet and sour pork ribs before, but few people have eaten it. The generals who followed Liu Che to Liu Tan Zhuangzi once ate it, and everyone who ate it did not dislike it.

Before, many people couldn't imagine what it was like, and they thought that these people followed the emperor's tone, or they didn't dare to offend the king of the north.

After eating this dish at this time, I vaguely understood why so many people admire sweet and sour pork ribs. For a while, some people even thought that this fish is so delicious, how delicious is that sweet and sour pork ribs?

Liu Che ate happily, and asked casually, "What's the name of this dish?"

Liu Tan just had a false alarm, and was busy eating at this time, so he replied casually: "West Lake Vinegar Fish."

After he finished speaking, he felt bad. Sure enough, he heard Liu Che asked in doubt: "Why is it called West Lake Vinegar Fish?"

Liu Tan got stuck for a while, and said in a hurry: "The oxbow lake where Father Huang fishes is just west of Shuofang City, so it's the West Lake, and the vinegar fish just... uses vinegar."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows, he didn't seem to like the name very much, Liu Tan immediately said: "I have never been able to name my son, so it's better to give it to my father."

Liu Che didn't think much about it and said casually, "Let's call it Taichu Zhenyu."

In the early days, Liu Che just changed his year name last year, and it is still the first year of the early days, and it will be the first year of the early days after the new year.

Liu Tan's ears twitched, and he named the dish after the year name, which shows that Liu Che still likes this dish very much.

However, Liu Tan suspects that it is also related to the theory of good fortune that Lu Xuan made up just now.

It's just that Liu Che has already chosen a good name, so everyone naturally decided to call it this, and it does sound much better than West Lake Vinegar Fish.

Although Taichu Zhenyu tastes good, the sweet and sour taste in your mouth is too strong and you can't stand it after eating too much. It happened that the boiled fish fillets were served at this time.

Boiled fish fillets are much easier to prepare than the previous Taichu Zhenyu. Although many fish fillets need to be sliced ​​and there are no small thorns in the fish fillets, it is easier to cook. You can cook the fish fillets directly in a large pot, etc. After it is out of the pan, pour a layer of chicken oil.

Because of the chicken oil, everyone smelled a strong aroma when serving the dishes, which was also mixed with the smell of onion and ginger after being cooked in chicken oil, mixed with the aroma of chicken oil and chicken soup, smelling It's mouth watering when you go up.

After the boiled fish fillet is served, it gives a visual impact from the appearance. The Taichu Zhenyu just now has a thick oily red sauce, but now the boiled fish fillet is much lighter.

The surface of the boiled fish fillets is light yellow chicken oil, the inside is white fish soup, and the white powdery fish fillets are floating in the middle, and the cornel is used to enhance the flavor. It looks very eye-catching.

Before Liu Tan, he specifically told Bu Fan to take out the fish fillets to dry for a while before serving them to Liu Che. Because of the chicken fat on them, even if the temperature below is high, it doesn’t look hot, but if you just eat like this, Liu Che I'm afraid there will be a few more burns in my mouth.

After the fish meat came out, Liu Che took a closer look before eating it.

The boiled fish fillet is different from the Taichu Zhenyu. Without the sweet and sour sauce to cover it, the freshness of the fish is more thoroughly reflected. In addition, the cornel brings a little spicy taste, and the taste in the mouth is very rich. In addition, the fish is unique Liu Che nodded in satisfaction: "This one is also good."

And with the lesson from last time, Liu Che didn't ask Liu Tan's name this time. He found that he didn't like the names Liu Tan said, and he didn't know whether they were immortals in the fairy world, vulgar or elegant, anyway. different.

Although Liu Che has been seeking immortality, what he seeks is longevity, so he will not let go of anything related to immortals, because those may also hide the secret of longevity.

But now...it's just a name, it should have nothing to do with Changsheng, he decided to follow his own aesthetics.

Therefore, whether it is sweet and sour fish, Mrs. Song's fish soup or boiled fish fillet, he finally gave them the title of Taichu.

To be honest, Liu Tan was relieved, it was much better than racking his brains to think of a name.

Boiled fish slices are fine, but Mrs. Song's fish soup will probably be called fish soup simply and rudely.

It's fine now.

Most of the dishes in this meal are related to fish, and there are not many other meats, but there are some cured meats, which can be regarded as a breakthrough compared with the meal structure of the Han nobles in the past.

But everyone still ate to their heart's content, especially when some people found out that Liu Tan wanted to cook more dishes, but when Miao Rui stopped him, they all looked at Miao Rui with sad eyes.

Among them, Li Ling is the most. He is at the age when he is moving and eating more. Compared with Lu Xuan, his appetite is almost the same, and it is the time when he is greedy. When he heard that there are other dishes Didn't get it, unfortunately not.

After all, the next time I want to eat the dishes made by His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is not sure when.

Miao Rui's back felt chills when he saw him, and couldn't help hiding beside Liu Tan. As soon as Liu Tan turned his head, he saw Li Ling's sad eyes, thinking that he didn't have enough to eat, so he said, "Should we let the dining room eat again?" Send you a copy? You're welcome."

Li Ling asked anxiously: "Does Your Highness have any new dishes tomorrow?"

Liu Tan thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation. I may not have time tomorrow."

The glass side doesn't know if there are any results now. If there is progress tomorrow, he may not even be able to accompany Liu Che, let alone create new dishes.

However, Liu Tan also thought about it. If he does it again next time, he can directly write the menu and let people follow it. It shouldn't be a problem.

After Liu Che ate to his heart's content, maybe because he was a little sleepy after playing outside for a day, he left. Liu Tan and Lu Xuan also left by the way.

When the two of them went out, it happened that Liu Che was walking slowly outside.

When he saw Liu Tan, he beckoned and said, "Come here, walk with me."

Since arriving in the northern border country, Liu Tan would persuade him to take a walk every time he finished his meal, saying it was good for his health.

Because the scenery of Longevity Palace is good, and Liu Tan would accompany him every time, Liu Che also agreed.

Aside from other things during this period of time, the abdominal discomfort caused by accidentally eating too much food has never appeared again.

Liu Tan immediately ran to Liu Che's side. Liu Che looked at the flowers and trees all over the courtyard and sighed slightly, "Even Shanglin Garden in winter can't compare to the Longevity Palace."

He felt a little disappointed when he thought that he might have to face the dead branches and leaves all over the yard when he went back.

After hearing this, Liu Tan immediately said: "When the father returned to Chang'an, the minister asked someone to bring some flowers and trees back. Well, the maintenance craftsmen also brought some back. The emperor can put it wherever the father wants! The minister pays for it!"

Liu Che couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You? Forget it, you only have how much money, and I won't use my son's money."

Liu Tan was not convinced, he is very rich now, okay? Especially after the honeycomb coal production restarted, it was also transported to Chang'an recently, which can be regarded as making some money, not to mention that broken evil gold is often sold at sky-high prices, and If he hadn't restrained the kiln from producing too much copper coins, I'm afraid his coffers would not be able to pile up anymore.

But he really didn't dare to show off how much money he had to Liu Che, mainly because his little money might not be much in Liu Che's eyes.

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "Erchen can still afford this amount of money. What's more, the minister is filial to his father, so they have nothing to say."

Liu Che asked, "Then you are not afraid that they will target you?"

Liu Tan said very confidently: "As long as the father and emperor don't blame him, the son will not be afraid."

Liu Che chuckled: "Whether I blame you or not depends on how honest you are."

Liu Tan leaned over and said, "My son has always been the most honest."

Liu Che nodded: "Well, then tell me why you replaced the fish I caught today."

Liu Tan: Wipe it!
