Li Lizhi was playing happily in the yard with a puppy in her arms. Meanwhile, Li Yi ran into the kitchen under the incredulous gazes of the nannies.
What the hell? A noble person actually cooks for himself?
The way the nannies looked at Li Yi instantly changed. In the Great Tang, the kitchen was a filthy place. Especially in the eyes of the nobles, the status of the kitchen was only slightly higher than the toilet!
However, Li Yi went in openly!
Moreover, he had to cook personally!
In ancient times, this was simply a crazy thing to do!
The nannies were dumbfounded as they watched Li Yi enter the kitchen and then walk out with a food they had never seen before in his hands!
"A bunch of idiots. You don't even know how to peel potatoes. In a few years, I'll give each of you an acre of land and let you peel as much as you want!”
A group of chefs came out from behind and looked at Li Yi in shame. Li Yi brought 10 catties of potatoes and 10 catties of sweet potatoes over. The sweet potatoes were to be roasted and eaten, while the potatoes were to be used for cooking. Of course, he also wanted to show Li Shiming that these were high-yield potatoes.
However, he didn't bring any fresh corn because he didn't buy any good ones. Li Yi didn't like the pumpkin, so he didn't want to eat it. Besides, it was too big and heavy.
Li Yi realized that there was a limit to the weight of the things he could carry when he traveled through time and space. It was half of his own weight. Li Yi's weight was 155 pounds, but in reality, Li Yi looked like he was at most 110 pounds.
However, Li Yi, who had received a portion of the elephant's strength, had a huge increase in strength and his weight had increased by almost half. However, this was also a good thing. At the very least, it meant that Li Yi's body was healthy and his muscle density was higher, which was why his weight had increased.
However, Li Yi didn't think about it carefully. If he gained almost half of his weight for no reason, it wasn't just a matter of muscle density. It might also be a matter of bone density!
Li Yi didn't even need any tools to peel the potatoes. He just used a kitchen knife and easily peeled the potatoes. Of course, the main reason was that he didn't have any tools. He only had a kitchen knife!
Fortunately, the kitchen knives at home had been taught a lesson by Li Yi. One was used to cut vegetables, and the other was used to cut meat. This morning, the chef went to find a blacksmith and forged a few new kitchen knives to ensure that the kitchen knives were not used repeatedly.
Li Yi still didn't know that the next time he entered the kitchen, he would see dozens of kitchen knives, each for cutting different things…
His own chef was about to go crazy because of him!
Li Yi did have some slight quirks. For example, he liked to use the kitchen knife separately. He would use the knife for each dish. He would never use the knife to cut meat together with the knife to cut vegetables. He would never use the knife to cut vegetables.
He was afraid that the smell would mix!
Li Yi's culinary skills were quite impressive. First, he cooked a roasted chicken with potatoes. This was his favorite dish during his freshman year. The owner of the stir-fry restaurant next to the school was the best at cooking this. He could use up hundreds of chicken drumsticks every day.
The tender and smooth chicken was mixed with potatoes, and then a fragrant gravy was made. It went well with the rice. Li Yi basically stir-fried it like this and then ate three bowls of rice. In fact, even a girl could eat two bowls of rice. It really went well with the rice.
Of course, one of the reasons was that the boss's food was salty, so the drinks in the small shop next door were selling quite well.
Roasted chicken with potatoes was a dish!
The second dish was mutton. Li Yi thought about it for a while. The mutton stew was especially nutritious, but it was summer. If the little girl ate too much mutton and got angry, it would be awkward. Li Yi was not afraid of Li Shiming, but if the little girl had a nosebleed, it would be awkward.
Therefore, he had an idea and brought a series of spices such as fennel and aniseed. Among them was the best cumin powder that Li Yi had bought!
Mutton skewers!
Yes, there was nothing that children liked more than mutton skewers!
He looked at the ingredients again. What restricted Li Yi was not his culinary skills, but the ingredients. Then, Li Yi discovered something that surprised him.
Grass Shrimp!
This was a creature that existed in China. In the " Medicinal Herbs for Food Treatment " written during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was specifically said that if one ate too much of this thing, they would get hemorrhoids…
However, it was fine to eat a little less, as long as it was cooked!
However, even though he said that he would eat less, Li Yi still made a lot of them. He always thought that it was not enough, so he made more than half of the hundreds of fresh grass prawns!
After removing the catgut from the back, he marinated it for a while and stir-fried it in hot oil. After it was cooked, he added the sauce. A large bowl of fried prawns was served!
Three dishes for two people to eat. That was enough. Then, he had to contribute three of Li Yi's most precious tomatoes and a tomato egg soup would be served!
Three dishes and one soup. Li Yi realized that they were all meat dishes!
Fortunately, the tomatoes in the tomato egg soup and the potatoes in the potato roast chicken were considered vegetables...
There was no nutrition!
Another green dish?
Li Yi looked at the vegetables around him and shook his head. He thought," Why don't I ask Lizhi to bring a tomato home to eat? There really aren't many green vegetables to eat in the Tang Empire. Maybe I can go to the wild to find wild vegetables tomorrow. These days, wild vegetables are like weeds. No one knows how to eat them!"
Soon, three dishes and a soup were served. The others could forget about it. In this society with a strict hierarchy, they did not have the right to eat together. Even if Li Yi asked them to eat together, they would not dare. It was better not to force them.
In many books, when slaves were asked to sit at the table to eat, they would actually kneel down because it was impossible.
The hierarchy had long been ingrained in his bones!
Li Lizhi's big eyes were shining as she looked at the fried prawns. This taste was the most overbearing. Not to mention Li Lizhi, even Li Yi himself was so greedy that he secretly ate two of them. The grass prawns were bigger than a palm, but the meat was quite delicious. In addition, they were already alive and kicking, and they were especially fresh. The taste was naturally very overbearing!
Fresh and wild ingredients, coupled with Li Yi's culinary skills and modern seasonings, the little girl didn't really touch the roasted chicken with potatoes. Instead, she ate almost half of the fifty or so prawns, which frightened the nanny beside her.
In order to eat, the little girl had turned into a painted cat!
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Delicious!"
Seeing his disciple's satisfied face and the crisp words " delicious ", Li Yi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!
