Chapter 278: Poached eggs on New Year's Eve

The night is getting darker and darker.

At this time, Xiao Ming let everyone sit down, Niu Ben sat on his right hand, followed by Lu Fei, Luo Xin and other generals.

The first one on his left is Pang Yukun, followed by Zhan Xingchang, Chen Wenlong and other civil servants.

There were hundreds of officials sitting in the entire main hall.

Xiao Ming sat in the main seat, looking at the team, the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided during the day.

Yes, he came to this great Yu country only one year and achieved such an achievement. Give him some more time, what about the great voyage era? He Xiao Ming can also lead the way.

"Today is New Year's Eve. If you can come to the palace as guests, it makes this king's palace a lot of fun, otherwise this king will always feel a little deserted during the New Year alone."

Everyone sat down, and Xiao Ming's eyes swept over them.

"His Royal Highness can invite us to the palace as a guest. It is also an honor for me to wait." Lu Fei bowed his hand to Xiao Ming.

Li Kaiyuan hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Lu said very much that this New Year's Eve can spend the New Year with His Royal Highness, but there is blue smoke on the ancestral grave, hehe..."

The others burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Pang Yukun said: "His Royal Highness, it is said that His Royal Highness has arranged a lot of singing and dancing dramas on New Year's Eve. Is this possible?"

"There is this one, but before that, we will eat first, set off fireworks after dinner, and watch singing and dancing after the fireworks." Xiao Ming said about the arrangements for tonight.

As soon as I said this, everyone below immediately burst into laughter, which was quite lively tonight.

In a short while, the servants in the palace filed in with delicious food, and put a table of food in front of everyone.

These meals are cooked carefully by Xiao Ming in the kitchen, and most of them are dishes with modern characteristics.

When everyone saw these dishes, they showed excitement.

What they look forward to most when they come to the palace is these delicious dishes.

All the dishes were served, and the wine was served again. Xiao Ming said at this time: "Please, please."

Everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and ate after hearing the words, Lu Fei grabbed a chicken leg and ate it.

Xiao Ming looked at the people below and laughed. He was accustomed to these meals, but in the eyes of outsiders, these meals were still very rare.

Unfortunately, many of the meals on this table do not meet modern requirements. This is due to the lack of materials, such as peppers and sugar.

It was precisely because of this that he asked Yue Yun to bring some food crops back when he went out this time.

At the same time, he is also thinking about how to start planning for Qingzhou's agriculture after the New Year. After all, the number of crops in Qingzhou is now very single, and this will be very unfavorable for the development of Qingzhou's industry.

After all, the development of industry requires raw materials, and the problems in the textile workshop this time have explained everything.

In addition to cotton, Xiao Ming is still thinking that a crop is sugarcane. As long as there is sugarcane, white sugar can be produced, and with white sugar, many foods can be produced and processed.

At that time, he could consider producing portable food for military use. In this way, it will play an important role for cavalry who travel long distances or for expeditionary troops.

"His Royal Highness, the oil from the Palace is really delicious." Chen Qi suddenly said while Xiao Ming was thinking.

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Of course, because this king asked the servants of the palace to make them."

When Pang Yukun heard this, he became interested immediately. He said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, I think the deliciousness of the dishes in the palace is inseparable from this oil. Your Highness might as well pass this oil and technique to the Wei family restaurant. It can attract many merchants to eat and lodging, which can also increase the government's income, isn't it?"

The Wei's restaurant used to belong to the Wei's family, but later because of needs, Xiao Ming asked the government office to buy the Wei's restaurant.

In this way, it is also convenient for the secret guard to monitor the incoming guests.

What Pang Yukun said, an idea suddenly sprouted in Xiao Ming's mind. The symbol of a modern area of ​​commercial development is the hotel.

Now Qingzhou merchants come and go very frequently, and Qingzhou’s restaurants are often full, which is also a profit point for Qingzhou.

"Pang Changshi's statement is reasonable. I didn't expect that having a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve will also make the king feel." Xiao Ming said happily: "In this case, the king summoned Pao Ding from the Wei family restaurant to enter the palace after the new year. , Let him learn cooking skills from Pao Ding of the palace. From now on, the palace will provide oil to the Wei's restaurant every day. In this way, these delicious dishes will inevitably make the businessmen who come to Qingzhou linger."

Niu Ben took a sip of wine and said, "His Royal Highness, if this is the case, I will go to the Wei's restaurant to eat every day after Niu Ben."

"Me too, your Highness, you don't know, the food in the palace is really delicious. When I return home, I will eat the food at home again. It's almost the same as the majestic wax."

On New Year's Eve, all the officials also relaxed, and Zhan Xingchang asked: "His Royal Highness, what we eat on weekdays is cooked food, I am afraid that the food in the palace is different."

"Yes, all the dishes in the palace are fried."

"Scrambled out? What is it?" Many people whispered.

Although the living standards of the officials have improved a bit, they also have a better life this year. In the past, meals were basically cooked and barbecued.

Because the basic tool for cooking woks is not so easy to produce.

During this period of time, Xiao Ming has been busy with matters such as the military workshop and the Galen ship, and the people's livelihood has just begun to use his fists.

So he asked the servants to go to the kitchen and asked Pao Ding to bring the iron pan and stove to the main hall, and then asked him to bring oil, salt and eggs.

When these things are ready, Xiao Ming said, "To cook, you need this thing first, an iron pan."

Xiao Ming stood up and walked to the iron pan, which was already set on the burning briquettes stove.

Niu Ben and the others stopped eating at this time, but gathered around. Chen Qi said, "This iron pot has never been seen before. Isn't it invented by His Highness?"

"His Royal Highness invented it." Qian Dafu said proudly.

"How do you cook the food below?" Pang Yukun asked~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His eyes rolled around, thinking that Xiao Ming had finally revealed the secret of the food.

After the New Year, be sure to ask Xiao Ming for a wok to go back and cook.

This Chinese New Year is just for fun, and Xiao Ming is also very playful at this time, so he said: "Don't worry, now this king will show you a scrambled egg on the spot."

Then Xiao Ming put the oil in the pot, because the pot was already hot, and the oil quickly heated up.

At this time, Xiao Ming sprinkled some salt in the oil pan, smashed the eggs, and beat them into the pan.

"It's crackling." When the egg was put out of the pot, the oil splashed suddenly, some of them collapsed on Lu Fei's face against the pot, calling him hot.

All the officials stared hard at this time without turning their eyes.

This time Xiao Ming made poached eggs, and the eggs were cooked in a while. At this time, he scooped out the poached eggs and asked, "Who wants to taste it?"
