"Your Majesty, the stone mill you ordered the day before has been completed. Do you want to take a look now?”Guo Huai had been following behind Tian Zi ever since he returned from his aunt's place, and he asked respectfully.
"Oh? It's already completed. I can go and take a look.”Hearing that the stone mill had been completed, Long Yunfeng's interest was piqued. The delicacies he had eaten a while ago weren't very good, so he drew a stone mill and asked Guo Huai to get the craftsman to make one.
He planned to use this small stone mill to start his journey in Great Qin.
When Long Yunfeng saw this stone mill, he felt that it was exactly the same as the one he drew.
This stone mill was made of two round stones that had been tempered and carved with a chisel and axe. Both sides were made of large stones with a certain thickness and were carved into flat cylindrical shapes by hand. On the two sides of the disc, there were slanted lines, which were called grinding teeth.
The production of grinding teeth was a very professional and complex technology. Its reasonable, natural, and scientific design features must be manually adjusted. Its angle, size, and gap were irreplaceable by all modern tools!
The upper millstone was also chiseled with a hole, which was clamped with the lower plate and fixed on a frame seat. There was a short vertical shaft in the middle of the lower fan, which was made of iron. There was a corresponding empty sleeve in the middle of the upper fan. The two fans were combined. The lower fan was fixed, and the upper fan could rotate around the shaft in reverse.
At the same time, there was an empty chamber on the contact surface of the two blades, which was called the " grinding chamber." There were also grinding teeth on the periphery of the chamber, and there were grinding holes on the upper mill. When grinding things, the grains would flow into the chamber through the grinding holes and be evenly distributed around. They would be ground into powder and flow through the cracks to the grinding stone.
The upper fan of the stone mill was rotating, and the grinding teeth of the upper fan and the grinding teeth of the lower fan were biting and staggered with each other, forming a very small lifting movement. Therefore, a momentary tooth gap appeared between the upper and lower fans, allowing the processed grain to continuously enter the grinding teeth through the holes of the upper fan.
Long Yunfeng nodded calmly. He didn't praise Guo Huai because of this stone mill that was exactly the same as the one in his previous life.
Long Yunfeng also asked if there was any wheat in the palace because there was no flour or food, and the taste of the wheat wasn't good.
It was usually eaten by commoners and was one of the cheap foods.
Long Yunfeng was afraid that the palace didn't have it, but it actually did. He found out that it was used to feed horses.
Because Long Yunfeng's luxurious carriage was pulled by a warhorse with a huge appetite, he had prepared a lot of wheat, but it was still not enough.
Because the wheat was shelled, Long Yunfeng ordered the servants to remove the shells with a stone pestle. Only after obtaining the full wheat did he slowly start to grind the wheat.
"Guo Huai, pour the wheat that I asked you to prepare on the table and cover it up.
Hearing Long Yunfeng's words, Guo Huai nodded. He took out a bowl of wheat and laid it on the surface of the stone mill.
Guo Huai quickly covered the entire area. Long Yunfeng raised his hand and pointed at the two eunuchs in charge of pounding the rice, telling them to appear on the wooden pole that extended out from the stone mill.
"Yes, grab it with both hands and push it hard!”
Following Long Yunfeng's command, the two eunuchs pushed the wooden pole together…
Crash…
With the push of power, the rolling stones on the stone platform immediately rolled and crushed the grain on the table!
When the rolling stones rolled over…
Under the grinding of the stone mill, some white flour was soon obtained. Guo Huai asked curiously,"Your Majesty, what are you doing? What can you make by grinding this wheat into powder?”
"You'll know later." Long Yunfeng gave Guo Huai a mysterious smile. At this moment, he had harvested quite a bit of flour. Guo Huai put the flour into a sack and watched as Tian Zi walked towards the imperial kitchen.
Guo Huai was puzzled, but he followed.
Seeing the emperor come to the imperial kitchen, he frowned slightly. He was a traditional person, and in this era, it was important for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen, let alone the emperor of a country.
In the modern world, restaurants were too expensive, so he could only cook himself. That was why Long Yunfeng knew how to make flour. After he became a master chef, he could imagine all kinds of delicious dishes in his mind.
Soon, the flour turned into mud. Guo Huai weighed it in his hand while Qin Qi, the Imperial Chief, watched carefully.
Then, he cut a little meat from the large piece of mutton in the kitchen and began to chop the filling. Then, he wrapped the dumpling filling by himself.
Not long after, the dumplings were ready. Long Yunfeng asked the chef in the imperial kitchen to heat up the stove and pour water into it. Then, he poured the dumplings into the water and soon, the fragrant dumplings were out of the oven.
Seeing the dumplings come out of the oven, Long Yunfeng smiled and waved his hand. The kitchen knife flew up from the knife rack and then suddenly fell down.
"Ah!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim because Long Yunfeng was standing right where the knife landed.
Was His Majesty crazy? If the blade fell on His Majesty's head, His Majesty would die! If something happened to His Majesty, these eunuchs and palace maids could not bear the responsibility! However, they were a little far away. Even Qin Qi, the head of the imperial kitchen, did not react in time.
The kitchen knife was still falling. Everyone seemed to have foreseen the tragedy that would happen. The timid palace maids closed their eyes and thought, It's over. His Majesty is dead, and so are we.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Long Yunfeng moved like lightning, picking up the onions, ginger, and garlic from the leaking basket and arranging them in a row on the chopping board.
Then, without even looking, he slowly raised his right hand and caught the kitchen knife.
Then, he instantly swung it down!
In an instant, a dazzling white light appeared.
"Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!"
Then, the sound of cutting vegetables resounded in everyone's ears like a storm.
In an instant, the chopped green onions, ginger, and garlic were all cut.
Long Yunfeng placed his knife flat and lightly shoveled. His wrist shook three times, and the chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic flew up from the chopping board and turned into three clear streams of green, yellow, and white. They drew a round arc in the air and fell into three bowls respectively.
Everyone was stunned. Their mouths were wide open, and they were in a state of absent-mindedness.
"Heavens! What did I just see?"
"Is this cooking? Are you sure it's not acrobatics?"
"This is three different ways of cutting hair. How did His Majesty do it in one move?”
Suddenly, a eunuch exclaimed," Didn't you notice? His Majesty didn't even look at the chopping board when he was doing this. Instead, he was smiling. He was smiling at us!”
"Damn it! It was true. He didn't even look at the chopping board!”
"Godly, Your Majesty is really Godly! How is this cooking?"
In terms of distance, Qin Qi, the head of the imperial kitchen, was undoubtedly the closest to Long Yunfeng. She had the deepest feeling about all of this.
As the person with the most profound culinary skills present, he could see it more clearly.
He followed His Majesty to draw his knife, hold it, cut the vegetables, and put them in.
He knew what this set of actions meant.
The antelope hung its horns, leaving no trace behind!
This was the highest evaluation of skill. In Long Yunfeng's movements, everything seemed so natural and appropriate. It was as if he wasn't cutting vegetables, but breathing. Yes, he was breathing. It was as if all these movements had become an instinct.
It was an innate instinct, and he couldn't see any trace of purposefulness in Long Yunfeng's actions.
Even though he wanted to deny it, all of this proved that His Majesty was a grandmaster.
Moreover, he was a grandmaster who could transform his techniques into nature!
Was His Majesty the legendary God of Cookery?
No, no, no, there was no Master Chef in this world. Did he grow up by himself?
Thinking of this possibility, what kind of peerless monster was this? Moreover, it could be said that the Emperor had grown up in the palace and had never cooked before. How could he have such culinary skills?
After this series of actions, Long Yunfeng was completely immersed in a strange rhythm. It was as if there was nothing else in his eyes other than the chopping board.
His restless heart seemed to have obtained an unprecedented peace at this moment. At this moment, he no longer wanted to act pretentious. There was only one pure thought in his heart.
Prepare the dishes!
It was as if cooking had become an indispensable part of his life. He could be crazy about it.
Long Yunfeng suddenly had an epiphany. He knew that these emotions weren't his own, but were brought about by his cooking skills.
Perseverance!
If he didn't go crazy, he wouldn't survive!
Only this kind of loyalty that came from the heart could create a grandmaster.
He glanced at the table and found the material he wanted to use.
Long Yunfeng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately focused.
He grabbed the white striped chicken that had been cut into two halves, cut the meat, and removed the bones. In a moment, the flesh and bones were separated.
The cabbage was peeled and cut into inch-sized pieces.
Long Yunfeng's hands moved, almost turning into a blur. The audience below was dazzled. The only thing they could see was that the ingredients were completely broken down by Long Yunfeng's hands in an instant.
And all of this preparation work was completed within a dozen breaths.
It was so fast that it made one's hair stand on end.
Everyone present was so shocked that they could not say a word.
Qin Qi, the eunuchs, and the palace maids were dumbfounded.
Was this still human?
No!
Not a human!
It was a god!
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Long Yunfeng picked up the iron pot that he had asked someone to make yesterday. He poured boiling water, onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed, and Cassia into the pot. Then, he threw the shaved chicken skeleton into the pot.
"Stew a stick of incense and send it to the imperial study. Also, send a bowl to Princess Ruoqing.”Long Yunfeng said to Qin Qi after covering the pot.
" Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Qi immediately reacted and received the decree.
Long Yunfeng took out a recipe book and handed it to Qin Qi."" This is a recipe book with many cooking methods recorded in it. You have to learn it quickly and teach the people I've arranged for you. They'll be useful to me in half a month."
Qin Qi trembled as she took the recipe from Long Yunfeng's hands and replied excitedly,"" Your Majesty, don't worry. This servant will definitely complete the mission Your Majesty has given me."
"Also, the matter of Zhen entering the imperial kitchen cannot be leaked out. Otherwise, my entire family will be executed!”
Upon hearing the word 'extermination', Qin Qi's entire body trembled.""I understand!"
Long Yunfeng smiled and nodded, then left the imperial kitchen.
