Lan Shenxing brought the beef and potatoes to the kitchen.
This was the first time he had used the kitchen since he moved into the house.
"Why don't I do it?"
"You just need to tell me how to deal with these potatoes." Xu Miaoyun stepped forward and said.”
"No need."
"Go and inform the Brocade Guard outside. Tell them that…from tomorrow onwards, they don't have to stay here anymore." Lan Shenxing shook his head.”
"Alright."
Xu Miaoyun nodded and left the kitchen.
"You know how to light a fire?"
Zhu Biao followed him in and was a little surprised.
"A little."
Lan Shenxing began to wash the potatoes.
"Are you sure there's no problem?"
Zhu Biao looked at the potatoes and beef worriedly." If it doesn't work, let your sister and Xiong Ying make it when they arrive. If it doesn't work, we'll call the royal chef to make it."”
"Your Highness, you have to believe me."
As he spoke, Lan Shenxing finished washing the potatoes. He peeled the potatoes and cut them into pieces.
Then, the beef was cut into pieces.
Prepare onions, ginger and garlic.
Zhu Biao walked over curiously, picked up a piece of potato, and sniffed it. He asked,""It smells quite good. Can I eat it raw?”
"Sure."
Lan Shenxing nodded and said," But raw food doesn't taste good. It's not recommended unless you're about to starve to death. It's because raw food will cause abdominal distension and diarrhea."”
When a person was about to starve to death, they would even eat tree bark, let alone raw potatoes.
Lan Shenxing started to stir fry.
After some work, he covered the pot, added firewood, and simmered it over a low fire.
Zhu Biao stood in front of the kitchen door and sniffed the smell coming out of the kitchen. He had to admit…the smell was really fragrant.
Very quickly.
Lan Yu, Xu Da, Madam Chang, Xu Huizu, and Zhu Xiong Ying had arrived.
"What's that smell? It's actually more fragrant than roast goose."
Xu Da was the first to smell the fragrance.
At this moment, Lan Shenxing and Zhu Biao walked out of the kitchen.
"What is this?"
Zhu Xiongying looked at the potatoes and picked one up. He asked curiously.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly ran to Zhu Xiongying and said,"Ying 'er, you can't touch this thing. This is the future of our Ming Dynasty.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xu Da, Xu Hui Zu, and Lan Yu were all stunned.
Big Ming's future?
A heavy weapon of grain?
What exactly was this thing?
Zhu Biao actually gave him such a high evaluation.
"The new dish that Miao Yun mentioned is in the kitchen?”
Lan Yu asked.
Xu Miaoyun had already told them on the way. She said that Lan Shenxing would personally cook during the Spring Festival and let everyone taste the new dishes.
When Lan Yu heard this, she was stunned.
As a father, he did not know that his son could cook.
"Are you sure you can eat the food you made?”
Xu Huizu was very skeptical.
"Don't rush to conclusions. At least, just by smelling it, it tastes good.”
Xu Da said with a smile.
"I'm not sure if it's delicious, but I'm sure it's not.”
After saying that, Lan Shenxing smiled and welcomed Xu Da and the others into the guest hall.
After everyone took their seats, they began to chat.
They chatted about trivial matters.
After all, no one present would be stupid enough to talk about things they shouldn't talk about in front of Zhu Biao.
While chatting.
The stewed beef with potatoes was ready. Lan Shenxing came to the kitchen with a copper basin.
The steaming stewed beef with potatoes filled half a basin. There was more beef than potatoes.
If potatoes only accounted for one-third, then beef accounted for two-thirds.
It couldn't be helped. After all, potatoes were scarce now.
After taking out the copper basin filled with stewed beef with potatoes, Lan Shenxing secretly hid a big bowl for himself.
The copper basin was placed on the table.
It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
The unique aroma of beef and potatoes attracted everyone.
Although they had already eaten lunch, their appetites were still aroused.
"Uncle, what smells so good?”
Zhu Xiongying ran over.
Lan Shenxing picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef covered in gravy, and put it into Zhu Xiongying's mouth.
Lan Yu picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of potato, and put it into her mouth.
The reason why he didn't pick beef was because he had eaten beef before and had seen it before.
However, this was the first time he had seen potatoes. Naturally, he wanted to taste them first.
Blue was stunned when the potato entered his mouth.
To be honest, he didn't want to come at first.
However, when he thought that this was the first time Lan Shenxing cooked for him, he braced himself and came.
Before he came.
Lan Yu had even finished…
Even if the taste of this dish was difficult to swallow, he had to be mentally prepared to eat it.
In the end, the moment it entered his mouth, it was actually so delicious.
Xu Da, Zhu Biao, and the others started eating. After tasting the food, their eyes lit up.
Xu Da, in particular, sighed."This thing is even more delicious than roast goose!”
The first thing that came to Zhu Biao's mind was that if they were used as military rations, wouldn't the combat strength of the soldiers be doubled after eating such delicious food?
But then, Zhu Biao frowned.
Beef could not be popularized.
Therefore, he looked at Lan Shenxing and asked,""Can other meat replace beef?”
"Pig meat is fine too."
Pork doesn't taste good now.
However, how to make the taste better was not something Lan Shenxing had to think about, but those imperial chefs.
Lan Shenxing walked to the kitchen and brought out the rice.""After this soup is mixed with rice, the taste is excellent.”
Zhu Biao scooped some rice and soup into his bowl.
The soup and rice were stirred evenly. After entering his mouth, his taste buds were greatly stimulated.
This was simply delicious!
Xu Da and the others also began to try this method of eating. They all felt that their appetites had been greatly increased, and the little rice in their bowls was quickly emptied.
Just as they were about to continue scooping rice and gobbling down beef and potatoes…
Suddenly, something strange happened.
The door was pushed open.
Zhu Yuanzhang and a eunuch appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The reason why he appeared here.
It was because he suddenly remembered that the maturity of the potatoes that Lan Shenxing had told him about was today.
Old Zhu valued agriculture very much. Even though it was the first day of the new year, he still came here to witness the whole process of potatoes being unearthed.
However…
When he entered the courtyard, the first thing he saw was Xu Da and the others. The second thing he saw was the potatoes that had already been dug out.
He quickly ran to the shed and lifted the curtain to take a look. Inside... other than the hole dug, it was empty.
"Your Majesty…"
"Upstairs…"
Everyone in the room bowed in unison.
However, that was not what Zhu Yuanzhang was paying attention to. He rushed into the room angrily and pointed at Lan Shenxing and Zhu Biao."You guys didn't wait for us and started digging?”
"I'm prepared to report this matter to Imperial Father tonight," Zhu Biao said.”
"You've disappointed me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very annoyed and looked like he had been wronged.
At this moment, the fragrance of stewed beef with potatoes entered his nose.
He was stunned for a moment. He walked to the copper basin, observed it, and said,"Could it be that there are potatoes inside?”
"Yes."
Lan Shenxing answered.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the bowl and chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The mellow texture, the crispy beef, and the delicious taste melted in his mouth.
After the potatoes absorbed the beef broth, they emitted a rich meaty fragrance.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a delicacy in the world!
Xu Da realized that something was wrong and said,"Upstairs…"
Without waiting for Xu Da to finish, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and interrupted him. He looked at Zhu Biao and said,"Biao Er, your mother is sick. She needs to nourish her body…"
After saying that, he picked up the copper basin and ran out of the house. He did not forget to remind,"No one can touch the remaining potato seeds! If anyone moves, we'll be angry with them!"
Lan Shenxing and the others were speechless.
"Alright, no one can eat it now."”
Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying was anxious and quickly chased after him. He shouted,"Royal grandfather, your grandson wants to eat."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and gestured for the eunuch to bring Zhu Xiongying along.
Just like that.
Lan Shenxing and the others watched as Zhu Yuanzhang carried the copper basin and left with Zhu Xiongying.
