The Song Dynasty implemented a system of sharing meals for entertaining, with frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, resulting in a rich variety of delicious dishes. Everyone sat together at a table and shared the delicious food, which was no different from the 21st century.
Some time ago, the internet was particularly praising the separate dining system that had already been implemented in ancient China. This was mainly because the economic and technical conditions at that time were not good and there were few dishes.
It was precisely because of this system of eating together, with everyone eating at the same table, that the ministers of the Song Dynasty regarded receiving the delicious food bestowed by His Majesty as a favor and an honor.
Of course, Zhao Huan sat in the main seat, and Zhao Xi sat on a high children's chair with a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of him.
This children's seat was naturally also invented by Zhao Huan.
"Sit down, sit down, and taste the cooking of the royal chef."
The three of them sat down one after another, looking at the table full of delicious food, their appetites whetted.
"Don't be polite, do it yourself. I have to take care of my daughter. Xixi, don't always stare at the iron pot stewing goose."
As Zhao Huan spoke, he picked up a piece of mutton cooked with milk and put it in Zhao Xi's small bowl.
Upon hearing this, Zong Ze also picked up a piece of mutton, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, nodded and praised: "This suckling lamb is delicious and tasty, with a strong fragrance. The meat is tender and smooth. It is very delicious and it really whets my appetite."
Yuwen Xuzhong also praised: "It's sweet, soft and chewy, it's really lovely."
"If you like, eat more. This big table is prepared for you. Usually we only have four dishes and one soup."
"Your Majesty is frugal, and we admire him."
"Don't say it's useless. Just eat more and don't waste it. The Bianjing Palace has been vigorously promoting the "Clean Plate" campaign these days. Leftover food will be deducted from your salary, even for guests."
Zhao Huan didn't even raise his head. He was peeling crab meat for his daughter.
Yuwen Xuzhong looked at the full table in front of him, touched his stomach, and then looked at Zong Ze and Li Gang with helpless eyes.
You two, I'm a useless civil servant! I still have to rely on you to take care of this table of food.
Li Gang glared back. "Now you realize you're a worthless civil servant, but it's too late! You have to eat!"
"Dad, Dad, I want to eat fish..."
"Okay, Dad will pick out the thorns for you first."
"Dad, Dad, why is this tofu called Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night?"
"This tofu isn't just any tofu. First, you split a ham, dig 24 holes in it, cut the tofu into 24 small balls, and put them into the holes. Then, you stick the ham in them and steam them. By the time they're cooked, the ham's flavor will have permeated the tofu."
"Xixi, come and count and see if there are twenty-four pieces of tofu."
"One, two, three... twenty-three..."
Yuwen Xuzhong looked at the tofu on his chopsticks awkwardly and added, "Twenty-four is here..."
"Dad, Dad, you know so much..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
I was praised by my daughter, so happy!
………
"Dad, I'm full!"
Zhao Huan took his daughter down from the child seat.
"Where's the iron pot stewed goose? I'll bring it to my brother."
