Li Yuanfang personally boiled the yeast, but he didn't forget to order Anzuo and Anyou to separate the grape juice into five wine jars.
Fifteen minutes later…
The brewed wine yeast was sealed and stored in a storeroom in the backyard with the wine.
At this moment, the two things that he had steamed earlier were all out of the pot.
Li Yuanfang carefully inspected it and confirmed that it was cooked. He waited for the heat to drop before proceeding with the other processes.
In short, they worked for most of the day until two in the afternoon. Only then did they seal all the wine into wine jars and pile them neatly in the storeroom.
His stomach began to growl in protest. Li Yuan was shocked to realize that he had forgotten to eat lunch and was hungry.
In ancient times, families usually had two meals.
Li Yuanfang could not get used to it. Prince Zhou's residence had already changed to a three-meal system.
"You're not just brewing a bar.”Xiao Yu glanced at the storeroom and asked with a smile.
"Hmm, three or four types of wine. How can one type of wine compete with sales?”Li Yuanfang also laughed as he thought about it. Then, he asked jokingly,"Good wine naturally has to be accompanied by good dishes. Teacher, are you interested in trying something new?”
"You know how to cook?" Xiao Yu blinked in surprise.
"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. This is Mencius 'comment on King Xuan of Qi's reluctance to kill an ox. His intention is to praise King Xuan of Qi's benevolence, not to say that a gentleman should stay away from the place of killing.”
Li Yuanfang rolled his eyes. The teacher really liked to do random checks.
The others widened their eyes in shock. After all, this explanation subverted their understanding.
Only Xiao Yu's eyes lit up as he patted his disciple's shoulder in relief.
"Good, you really didn't neglect your studies because of these chores. I'm very happy, so I'll do it according to your method.”
"Hahaha, teacher, just wait to eat.”
Li Yuanfang cheered and turned around to instruct Bai Fu to buy a bunch of ingredients.
……
After a while.
Bai Fu brought a few workers back with a full load. The four of them carried a lot of things.
Chai Ling Wu looked at Li Yuan Fang in puzzlement.
"Uncle Zhou Wang, if you want to eat something, why do you have to make it yourself? Let's go to a restaurant outside.”
Li Yuanfang sneered. Suddenly, his smile was very cunning.
"Restaurant? I might as well go home and enjoy the chef's cooking instead of eating at a restaurant.”
"Speaking of which, I'll personally make fresh food. Will Chongyi support me?”
Li Chongyi had long heard his father boast about the food in the Prince Zhou Residence. This was like a reminder, so how could he not seize this opportunity?
"Of course, I'll send someone to inform my father!”
"Hmm? Aren't you exaggerating a little?”Du He elbowed Li Chongyi.
"Hehe, if my father knows that there's fresh food, don't call him. He'll be punished when he gets home.”Li Chongyi replied without thinking.
At this point, even Fang Yi 'ai was filled with anticipation as she asked shamelessly.
"Your Highness, I want it too. You must reserve mine.”
Li Yuanfang looked at everyone with a smile.
"Well, if it's delicious, maybe we can open a snack bar and eat whatever we want.”
The production of delicacies was a secret. Li Yuanfang had almost finished the chili in his hands. If he wanted to eat more after he finished eating, he would either have to draw it or wait for it to be planted.
Who knew that not only Li Xiaogong came, but Li Shimin was also brought by him. There was another person who was freeloading.
The group of people sat in the backyard for a long time.
Chai Lingwu pursed his lips and rubbed his little belly.
"I'm hungry. When do you think I'll eat?”
"Haha, wait patiently. I don't think Ninth Brother will disappoint us.”Li Shiming laughed in a low voice, recalling the delicious braised pork a few months ago.
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar young voice sounded.
"Tsk, cooking delicacies requires a process. You lack patience. You need to train yourself.”
Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and saw Li Yuanfang walking over with a smile.
However…there was a fat chef behind him-Su Le.
This time, before he arrived, the fragrance assailed his nostrils and instantly filled the entire courtyard.
Almost everyone in the courtyard subconsciously twitched their noses.
"Smells so good!"
"Hurry up, don't be slow.”
“……”
Li Yuanfang smiled smugly, shrugged his shoulders, and quickly interrupted.
"Satisfy them."
Su Le smiled and ran over with a basin. The basin with food was placed on the table.
Everyone gathered over to take a look. There were densely packed bamboo sticks, and every bamboo stick was covered with meat. They were all soaked in a sauce with a layer of red chili oil floating on it. There were also many sesame seeds and other ingredients floating on top.
When Li Yuanfang introduced the food, everyone knew that it was delicious just by smelling it.
"What meat is this?" Li Shi Min asked with a smile.
"Ahem, only meat like mutton is meat. This is a pheasant given to me by a tenant in the manor.”
Li Yuanfang squinted his eyes and revealed a sly smile.
"The pheasants in the mountain forest are very fat. It is said that the old farmer in the manor said that these pheasants were fattened by locusts.”
"By the way, don't birds feed on insects?”
"If we encourage the people to raise chickens, ducks, and geese in large numbers, will the locusts be wiped out before they even rise from the local area?”
Everyone looked at each other. While they were troubled by the fragrance, they were also pondering the feasibility of this suggestion.
The younger generation wanted to eat it, but the Emperor had not even started to make a move. They were also in despair.
This was an extremely serious mental torture!
"Hmm, that makes sense. We can implement it. After all, raising chickens, ducks, and geese doesn't require much food. We can even let the people eat more meat.”
Du He was tempted by the aroma of the food. After subconsciously opening her mouth, she could only say it casually.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu vetoed him ruthlessly.
"The commoners don't even have enough food to eat. If they really want to raise chickens, ducks, and geese, unless they mobilize the rich and powerful people in every place, even if they know that it can alleviate the locust plague, the commoners won't raise them.”
"Hey, when can I eat? I'm hungry.”Fang Yi 'ai muttered quietly.
Coincidentally, Li Shi Min heard this complaint the moment he came back to his senses. He was immediately amused.
"Yuan Fang's suggestion is very good. Zhen will consider discussing it with the ministers. Now, let's talk about how to eat this pot of food.”
Li Yuanfang smiled mischievously and reached out to pick up a skewer of meat to eat.
"Just pick up the bamboo stick and eat it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shi Min laughed out loud. He picked up a skewer and bit off a piece of meat.
The meat was chewed in his mouth. The entire mouth was spicy and fragrant. The meat that had fully absorbed the sauce was fresh and refreshing.
"Delicious!"
Alright, with the Emperor's praise, how could the others still be patient? They all stretched out their 'greedy' hands towards the plate of snacks and grabbed four or five skewers.
