A new day.
Jiang Huan was sitting in front of the window playing with the sachet that Fu Yanjing had given her, looking out the window leisurely.
Since she came to Dali, she has been living an exquisite and luxurious pig-raising life, eating and sleeping every day.
In modern times, she travels around the world.
Occasionally, I would take some time to shoot a magazine photo shoot, appear on stage for a brand I endorse, walk the red carpet, or play a vase in a drama.
"Your Highness, what would you like for lunch? I will go and order it for you."
Jiang Huan came back to her senses and looked at the snow outside. For some reason, she suddenly missed modern hot pot.
"For lunch, I would like to eat antique soup."
Jiang Huancai had just finished speaking when she suddenly remembered that in that era, the cooking method of hot pot was still immature and was far inferior to the modern hot pot.
She immediately stood up and said, "Forget it, I will go to the kitchenette myself to take a look."
Liu Mo followed behind with an expression as calm as a mountain, thinking to himself.
Antique soup, that thing has a very light taste. Why did Your Highness suddenly want to eat that?
The antique soups nowadays are nothing more than boiled water or soup to cook various foods.
Although the cooked food retains the original flavor of the food to a great extent, the taste is very bland and few people like to eat it.
After eating Liu Mo once, I don’t want to eat it a second time.
Jiang Huan brought Liu Mo to the small kitchen. The imperial chefs who had received the news had already been waiting respectfully at the door of the small kitchen.
As soon as Jiang Huan arrived, the kitchen manager came up to greet her respectfully.
"Your servant pays respect to His Highness the Sixth Prince. May His Highness be well and safe."
"Get up."
Jiang Huan waved her hand casually and walked inside. The butler followed her with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Highness, just send Lord Liu to tell you what you want to eat. Why bother your Highness to come here in person?"
After entering, Jiang Huan first took a look at the seasoning area.
After seeing that the seasonings she wanted were basically all there, she looked at the butler.
"For lunch, I want to eat the antique soup. Now I'm telling you the ingredients. Please write them down."
"Yes, Your Highness, you say."
"Cut the mutton, beef, pork, and fish into thin slices and prepare them. Prepare a plate each of potatoes, yams, cabbage, radish, lettuce, etc. Cut the potatoes, yams, lettuce, and radish into thin slices as well."
As Jiang Huan ordered food, the butler beside her kept nodding and writing down what she said.
Although many vegetables are not available in this season.
But with the existence of cellars, many vegetables can be stored in the cellar and then taken out and cooked and eaten in winter.
“As for the soup base for the antique soup, write it down as well.
Take dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, old ginger, garlic, pepper, rock sugar, scallions, bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise...
Put the dried chilies into boiling water to soften them and then chop them into a paste.
Use butter to fry the scallions, garlic, peppercorns, and other spices until they are fragrant, remove the spices, add the minced ginger and chili peppers, stir-fry until they are fragrant, and finally add the remaining spices and stir-fry until fragrant.
The reason why Jiang Huan knows how to make the spicy soup base for modern hot pot.
When she was in modern times, the chef from Sichuan and Chongqing in her family once personally cooked the base of the spicy hot pot.
She was passing by at the time and out of curiosity she watched for a while, and then she memorized all the seasonings used by the chef and the order in which they were added.
It's funny, it was the first time she saw so many strange-looking things, and she didn't know their names.
But I couldn't resist my curiosity and asked.
While cooking, the chef told her the names of the seasonings and showed her what the corresponding seasonings looked like.
As for how to make it taste good and how to control the heat, Jiang Huan didn't know.
Fortunately, she has a good memory, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to eat authentic modern hot pot now.
The butler next to him listened and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
This is spicy and peppery, can it be delicious?
"These are all the things you need. Take your time to research them. If you can't figure it out by lunch, you can eat the same thing in a few days."
"But you need to pay attention to the research on the new way to eat the antique soup. If you can achieve the effect I want, I will reward you handsomely."
"Yes, I will arrange someone to study it right away." A hint of joy flashed in the steward's eyes.
It doesn’t matter whether you reward or not.
But if what she does can satisfy His Highness and gain more favor in his eyes, that is the most important thing.
Jiang Huan left after giving the instructions.
Liu Mo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Highness, if you follow the ancient soup recipe you described, will the food really taste good?"
Jiang Huan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when they figure it out."
She raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, and began to look forward to it secretly in her heart.
When she stepped into the small kitchen just now, she suddenly remembered that in the book, the heroine brought modern hot pot, milk tea, cakes and some simple pastries to Dali.
Especially hotpot, in Dalí this ancient soup is still stuck in the era of cooking food with plain water or soup.
As soon as modern hotpot appeared, it was immediately well received by the people of Dalian.
The hot pot restaurant opened by the heroine was very popular for a while, and eventually it opened all over Dali, and then spread to the surrounding small countries.
He reaped a lot of money from the people of Dali and even the surrounding vassal states.
Now.
While the heroine has just arrived and has not yet started building her business empire.
Jiang Huan planned to make the hot pot first, and then work on that milk tea thing.
She had drunk milk tea once in modern times, but it was made at home by a chef using top-quality tea leaves.
She never drank it again after that because she didn't like drinks like milk and tea.
Drink milk if you want to drink milk, drink tea if you want to drink tea. Milk tea tastes weird.
The reason why she wanted to be the first to prepare what the heroine would do in the future.
First, it can cut off the heroine's source of money for future rebellion.
Secondly, these can be used to ruin the heroine’s luck.
If it doesn’t work once, try twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try three times.
After so many times, the heroine's luck will be worn away bit by bit, and then she will no longer be the heroine favored by heaven.
This is the kitchenette.
After Jiang Huan left, the steward immediately selected three imperial chefs to begin studying the antique soup base recipe that Jiang Huan had given.
The rest of the people were still responsible for Jiang Huan's daily diet.
In this way, the spicy antique soup base was intensively researched in the small kitchen of Zhaoyang Palace.
In ancient times, hot pot was called Gudong Geng, and its origin is as above.
