The two of them looked at each other and then looked at the noodles in the bowl that were exactly the same as the Oil Doused Noodles made by Li Fei.
They didn't believe it and took another bite. The two of them covered their mouths and couldn't help but vomit.
"Bah, it's even worse than the noodles I've eaten before!”
"Men, call the people who cook in the imperial kitchen over. Zhen wants to ask what's going on!”
Zhangsun Wuji's face twisted. He had been looking forward to a delicious meal, but in the end, he tasted a fishy taste in his mouth. It was indescribable how delicious it was!
Was this the little doctor's Oil Doused Noodles?
The taste was simply heaven and earth. What was wrong?
Seeing the Emperor's angry expression, Zhangsun Wuji also put down his chopsticks, wanting to see who made the noodles.
Very quickly.
"This lowly one greets Your Majesty, greets Duke Zhao!”
The imperial chef from the imperial kitchen ran over in a hurry. The moment he entered the imperial study, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Er's face darkened. He looked at the bowl in front of him and then at the royal chef."Did you make this Oil Doused Noodles?"
The imperial chef had already observed his expression. At this moment, his face was filled with fear as he hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, this Oil Doused Noodles was indeed made by me. I made two big bowls according to the recipe Your Majesty gave me…"
Could it be that the formula was wrong?
This is not my fault!
The imperial chef complained in his heart. He had clearly followed the steps to make the Oil Doused Noodles. There was no problem with boiling the noodles and then pouring it on, right?
"Bullsh * t, come and taste the Oil Doused Noodles you made. Is this something for people to eat?”Li Er was furious.
The delicious food that he had been looking forward to turned out to be like this. One could imagine how angry he was.
The royal chef did not dare to reply. He knelt on the ground and trembled, cursing the person who gave him the recipe in his heart.
He didn't know what the Emperor believed, but the oil on the recipe was marked to be boiled with pig fat.
Was pork for His Majesty to eat?
However, there was nothing he could do. The Emperor had solemnly instructed him to follow the recipe. The royal chef was also extremely helpless. He could only personally run to the market and pick a pig that was still fat. He slaughtered it to get fat.
In the entire Great Tang, except for Li Fei's Little Qin Village, the method of raising pigs was still the same as the previous dynasty.
Without castration techniques, the pigs had fewer offspring. The pork was smelly and did not gain weight. The smell was very strong.
Even the pork fat that was boiled had the same taste.
"What, you still don't believe me?"
Seeing that the royal chef did not speak, Li Er became even angrier and was about to order this bold fellow to be pulled out and beaten a hundred times.
"Your Majesty, this matter may not be the fault of the imperial chef.”
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly spoke and looked at the royal chef."Where is the formula that His Majesty gave you? Show it to me.”
The imperial chef bowed gratefully and ran back to the imperial kitchen. He quickly brought a piece of paper over and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji.
" Flour, chopped green onions, fresh rape leaves, pig fat boiled into lard…"
After taking a few glances, Zhangsun Wuji's gaze was not right. He asked stutteringly,"Your Majesty, the Oil Doused Noodles that we ate before, was…was it made with pig fat?”
Hearing this, Li Er was stunned.
After getting the recipe from Li Fei, he really didn't look at it. He directly sent someone to the imperial kitchen.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard the word " pig fat " in the recipe, his expression changed."Let me see it!"
When he saw the words clearly, Li Er's face darkened.""You little doctor, zhen only wants a formula from you. I gave you silver and you pretended not to want it, but you used this method to tease zhen.”
Pork was the food of the poor in the Great Tang.
Families with a little status would stay away from pork and disdain to eat it.
And this recipe actually used pork to make oil, and it was even for him to eat. It was simply inexplicable!
Seeing that Li Er was angry, Zhangsun Wuji quickly said,"Your Majesty, perhaps the little doctor wrote it wrong. Why don't we go again tomorrow and bring the imperial chef over to ask?”
Below, the royal chef was also quick-witted and hurriedly bowed."Your Majesty, this lowly one is willing to go with Your Majesty. This person actually used such a clumsy recipe to tease Your Majesty. This lowly one will definitely expose his true colors!”
"You can leave. We'll talk tomorrow." Li Er waved his hand and dismissed the imperial chef.
What a joke. Although he was angry, Li Er did not have the intention to punish him.
Not to mention that Little Si was there, just Li Fei's words alone had enlightened his confidants about the true colors of the Tibetan diplomatic mission to Tang. It was already a great merit.
"Forget it, this little doctor doesn't seem like someone who would tease me. I will ask about the pork fat on this recipe tomorrow.”
Li Er said slowly.
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji immediately smiled and said," That's good. I have a small request. When I go with Your Majesty tomorrow, can you bring a chef from my residence…"
Hmm?
Li Er was stunned for a moment. He came back to his senses and laughed."You old fox, you even thought of this. As expected of you!”
"It's a small matter. Zhen allows it!"
