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

Slicing roast duck is actually a technical job, but no one knows what roast duck is these days, so it doesn't matter if Liu Tan's technique is not that good.

Liu Tan first took two pieces of the most crispy duck skin, put them in a small dish filled with white sugar, and asked someone to bring it to Liu Che and said, "Father, taste it first."

This way of eating was something he had seen when he ate in a certain restaurant back then, and he was amazed when he tasted it. The only regret was that there was too little of it.

Later, after he learned how to make it himself, he made a few more slices and ate it, and then he realized why others made so few. This stuff is too greasy, sweet and greasy, and it feels sweet after one bite, but he can't bear it if he eats too much.

Liu Che picked it up and looked at it carefully, and his eyes lit up after taking a sip.

The skin of the roast duck is still hot from the oven, and it is crispy and sweet after being dipped in white sugar. It tastes really good.

At this time, he and Liu Tan were almost the same when they ate this kind of food for the first time. After tasting two mouthfuls, he felt a little unsatisfied. He talked to Liu Tan more directly, and said: "So many duck skins, just give me this?"

Liu Tan said with a smile as he carefully sliced ​​the meat: "That one is too greasy. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat anything else. Don't worry, try this first."

After taking a few slices, he personally took a piece of spring pancake and smeared it with sauce. After thinking about it, he was worried that Liu Che didn't like the one with green onions, so he served cucumber on it.

After everything was done, the spring pancakes were rolled into spring rolls, placed on a small plate and handed over.

And he also wiped his hands and handed the knife to the specially selected chef with good knife skills. Before going over, he said: "Slice according to the way I just did. It doesn't need to be the thinnest, but it must be even."

The chef was a little nervous, and his hand holding the knife was trembling. Although they were said to serve the emperor, they were a group of people who had been ignored in the palace all year round.

The emperor would not meet the chef when he had nothing to do. At most, he would reward a little money if he felt happy after eating delicious food.

Money is good, but being able to demonstrate one's skills in front of the emperor is definitely a supreme honor.

From the very beginning, Liu Tan had no intention of slicing up the whole roast duck by himself, and he is not a professional at doing this, so the duck would probably be cold by the time he finished.

After Liu Che's chef started slicing the duck, Liu Tan and Liu Ju's here also started.

Although it was a little late, Liu Ju still tasted the crispy skin dipped in sugar that even his father found amazing.

It has to be said that after he finished eating, he also felt a little unsatisfied.

While he was eating this, Liu Che had already eaten his first bite of roast duck burritos.

The spring pancakes are thin and flexible, and when they are brought over, they have the unique aroma of pasta. After one bite, you can taste the aroma of spring pancakes first, but they are soon overwhelmed by the aroma of roast duck. The taste of roast duck mixed with sauce is very special, a bit It is sweet and a little salty, and has the unique oily aroma of meat dishes. When the mouth is not greasy, it tastes the freshness of cucumber.

It can be said that this mouthful has four levels of taste, and after chewing in the mouth, new and different tastes will be produced.

Liu Che was very happy eating with chopsticks. When he looked up, he saw that his son was making roast duck by himself without any chopsticks or spoons.

Liu Che looked at Liu Tan and raised his eyebrows: "What do you look like?"

It is completely devoid of image to eat!

Liu Tan looked up at him and smiled and said: "Actually, this food is delicious only if you make it yourself. If you like sauce, add more sauce, and if you like roast duck more, put more roast duck. It's all up to you, just like eating crab roe. It tastes the best when you peel it yourself."

I really waited for others to make it up and send it up bit by bit. It looked elegant, but it also lost some flavor.

Liu Tan is used to eating by himself, so he specially equipped Liu Che and Liu Ju with a roast duck roll, but he didn't ask for it himself.

After hearing this, Liu Ju immediately put his chopsticks aside, and struck directly - anyway, besides his father and his younger brother, there was no need to worry about someone talking about the prince's lack of restraint.

After hearing this, Liu Che felt that it was the same reason. He stretched out his noble hand to roll a portion very unfamiliarly, and then found the joy of eating roast duck.

Just as Liu Ju thought, anyway, there was no one else in the whole hall. As for the palace people...it was nothing to him if the palace people didn't say anything.

The chef sliced ​​the duck very fast. Although they wanted to extend the time to show off their knife skills, the King of the North specifically told them to slice the duck faster after they were selected. If it was too slow, the duck would be cold. It doesn't taste good.

The rest of the words don't need to be said by the King of the Northern Realm, they will know what it means, and the taste is not good. If the emperor is not happy, won't he make trouble for them then?

After the duck was sliced, the duck bones were taken away by them. Liu Tan had already ordered those duck bones to be used to cook the soup by the way, and it didn't need to be cooked for too long.

They didn't eat fast, and when the father and son had almost eaten, the duck soup was served. The original soup, without any other seasonings except salt, was just right to drink it to get rid of the greasy taste in the mouth.

This meal was almost the same as last night, except for the roast duck, the dishes were basically unchanged, and Liu Tan was already used to it.

If it is in an ordinary family, it will definitely not cook other dishes, but the emperor, prince and princes have a certain number of dishes when dining, even if he thinks it is a waste, he must follow this rule, otherwise he will lose his status.

And after these dishes are removed, they will only be thrown away and will not be eaten by anyone, because no one can eat the dishes that can only be enjoyed by the emperor.

After eating, Liu Tan saw that Liu Che was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say, "Father, I will go to Shi Heyuan tomorrow, and I got stuck on something to do, so I need to study it again."

Liu Che ate a lot today, and felt drowsy after eating. He raised his eyelids and snorted when he heard his words: "Would you like to go to the palace by the way?"

Liu Tan admitted very frankly: "I have to go and have a look."

Liu Che waved at him: "Go, go, if I don't let you go, you dare to climb over the wall!"

Liu Tan suddenly panicked: "I dare not!"

The wall of Weiyang Palace is indeed not high, and it is not difficult to climb over the wall, but the problem is that it is not a question of whether it is difficult or not, but that if he dares to climb over the wall, he dares to have a crossbowman shoot directly without asking why.

This was the suggestion Liu Tan gave Liu Che when he first got out the crossbow, so that the safety factor of Weiyang Palace could be improved to a higher level.

Since Liu Tan knew about it, he would definitely not commit the crime knowingly.

But Liu Che said with a smile: "You are so bold, is there anything you dare not do?"

Liu Tan moaned and said, "That's a lot."

Liu Che didn't say anything else, he got up and decided to take a stroll and then go back to take a nap. As for the sons... let's go back to where they came from.

Liu Tan and Liu Ju walked out of Weiyang Palace side by side, and when they were halfway there, Liu Ju suddenly said, "Brother, even if you don't marry a wife, you still need a concubine and a child, right?"

Liu Tan turned his head to look at Liu Ju and said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly ask this? I don't care. Think about Liu Dan, Liu Wei, and Liu Fuling. This child was born to collect debts, and I feel that I don't owe any debts." Whose, just pay off the debt."

Liu Ju felt a little helpless: "If you think like this now, you won't be able to do it in the future. Forget it, it won't be difficult when you want to marry a wife."

He still thinks that Liu Tan is young and frivolous, but anyway, Liu Tan is just 20 years old now, even in ten or twenty years, it is not difficult for him to marry a young girl.

Liu Tan didn't refute anything, some things need time to prove, he directly changed the subject and asked: "What about you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not had a Crown Princess until now, are you not in a hurry?"

To be honest, this matter is really what Liu Tan is most curious about at this stage.

In history, Liu Ju lived almost 40 years without a princess, which is really strange.

Various speculations in later generations have never stopped, and I don't know why.

Liu Ju's expression was calm: "It's okay if you don't have it, but if you have it... maybe it's a drag."

Looking at his expression, Liu Tan suddenly remembered that Liu Che wanted to abolish Chen Ajiao several times but failed. Maybe the two of them, father and son, had reached an agreement on this matter.

If Liu Che chooses the person, as long as the queen does not commit a taboo or has no children, Liu Shi will not be abolished.

And even if there are these two things, it takes a lot of effort to abolish the queen.

As for why he thought of abolishing the empress, it is really... the scum of the old Liu family is also inherited. Anyway, it has been passed down to the present, and there are very few first-time empresses who have not been abolished.

Anyway, when it came to these issues, it was not easy for Liu Tan to continue discussing this matter with Liu Ju, because his status was embarrassing.

As he was walking, he suddenly slapped his head and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot to tell Father about wheat."

Liu Ju turned his head and asked, "What?"

Liu Tan said: "When I was making that burrito, the people in the dining room said that there is not much flour now. If I want to eat it every now and then, I am afraid that I will not be able to supply it. It must have been planted, it must have been because they used the wrong method before, and I want Father to find some people who are really good at these things to do it."

After hearing this, Liu Ju couldn't help laughing and said: "People who are really good at these? Then why do you find someone else? Don't you just do it?"

Well, it just so happened to find something for his younger brother to do, so don't look back and think about what the Huns did when they got angry and sneak back to the northern border country to lead troops to beat the Huns.

"Me?" Liu Tan immediately shook his head and said, "I can't."

Liu Ju was a little surprised: "Why can't you? There are more and more grape growers near Chang'an, isn't it your credit?"

Liu Tan laughed: "Grapes are different from food crops, and the method of grafting is used. Although the final fruit is the grape variety from the Western Regions, the mother plant is actually native to Dahan."

Liu Ju was puzzled and asked, "Isn't the flour the same as the rice you mentioned?"

Liu Tan shook his head: "No, it's completely different. You can't use grafting for this... eh? No, it seems... you can, no, no, no, it's still not right. You need the same crops for grafting, and you can live if you just graft. No way."

Liu Ju waved his hand very simply: "Then you can study it."
