"Hundreds of schools complement each other?"

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Zheng with an incomprehensible expression and asked, "What do you think of Confucianism?"

Wang Zheng shook his head. "I have no opinion on Confucianism. There is nothing wrong with any doctrine in essence. Just like food, any kind of food can fill your stomach, but how can a person only eat one kind of food?

Even if it is delicious food like fish and meat, people cannot eat them every day. Eating too much of good things will make people sick of it. Eating some coarse food occasionally is actually good for the stomach.

The same is true for doctrines. Since Dong Zhongshu promoted Confucianism as the only school of thought, all other schools of thought have declined. Let’s not talk about other schools for now, but the decline of the medical, agricultural and Mohist schools is really a pity.

Over the past few hundred years, there has been no increase in grain production, no progress in medicine, and the decline of Mohism has led to signs of regression in all craftsmen.

During the Qin Dynasty, workshops in various places were able to divide the work and cooperate with each other to prepare weapons and armor together. But now, the sizes of things produced in different places vary greatly, and many things have been lost.

"Hahaha."

If possible today, let the cooks learn a few tricks from you. When they ask for rewards from the nobles in the future, they will remember your kindness. Although the imperial kitchen is small, there will always be a way to repay you."

After putting some shredded ginger, garlic and fermented black beans on the sauerkraut fish and steamed fish, Wang Zheng heated some oil and poured it on them. A rich aroma immediately came out.

"In fact, you can fry some fish every day and keep them there. You don't have to worry about them getting cold. When the nobles want to eat them, we can immediately boil a pot of sauce and pour it on them. When you bring them over here, it will be just right for you to eat."

Continuing to catch fish, Wang Zheng and Zhu Guichen first brought a few big fish to the imperial kitchen, where a particularly tall and strong eunuch was already waiting.

For braised dishes, we can directly fry them to remove the fishy smell. In fact, no matter what kind of meat dish, these two methods can be used to remove the fishy smell. "

Zhu Guichen introduced each other and then said, "Actually, you can exchange a few things."

Wang Zheng bowed again, "Then give it a try. I will try my best."

Just at this time, someone had already packed up the ingredients. Wang Zheng looked at the utensils and found that they were already using an iron pot. This made things much easier. He then looked at the ingredients and side dishes and found that they were all complete.

Wang Zheng first bowed to the people around him and said, "Then I have to ask for your forgiveness first."

Wang Zheng first had the fish marinated with ginger and garlic, then heated a pot of oil and explained, "Fish has a strong fishy smell, so it's best to marinate it with ginger, garlic and other meat dishes before steaming it, adding a little salt to remove the fishy smell and make it more flavorful.

Yang Zhizhen bowed to Wang Zheng and said in a friendly manner, "I have heard a lot about you. The crispy meat you asked Zhu Guichen to bring back is good. We asked someone to imitate it and the nobles all like it very much.

Yang Zhizhen said with interest: "Everyone says you are a rare smart person. No matter if it works or not, tell me first."

When frying the twice-cooked pork, Wang Zheng saw that the pigs were all small, so he suggested to Yang Zhizhen: "Actually, I have an idea to make big pigs without the fishy smell. I wonder if it will work."

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, our classics have been studied to the extreme. What is the point of people studying the classics now? It's just a rehash of the old tune.

When it comes to techniques, Confucianists always think that techniques are minor virtues. However, without the support of a large amount of techniques, the great virtue is just duckweed. No one can live without food and rely on the great virtue. If there really is such a person, we can send him to see Confucius.

Afterwards, Wang Zheng fried some twice-cooked pork, boiled some meat in soup, and stir-fried some leeks and eggs, and added the stewed meat and soup that had been prepared in the imperial kitchen, and that was almost it.

Wu Zetian pointed at Wang Zheng and laughed, "I have never seen anyone so shameless as to describe his own ignorance as if you were so fresh and refined, and so self-righteous."

"This is Yang Zhizhen, the chef in charge of the imperial kitchen. This guy is Wang Zheng. The queen asked him to cook the fish."

Taoism, Taoism, our Taoism is already as high as a ninth-floor building. Shouldn’t we now spend some resources and time to discover the art?

"Don't worry, madam. This is just a small matter."

"Hey, you guys can stop praising us later. Let's start cooking first. The Queen and His Majesty are still waiting."

Steaming fish is a simple matter. The imperial kitchen steams food 24 hours a day. Wang Zheng fried some kimchi and made pickled fish.

"You are not the one to say these words. The situation in the world is like this. Even Your Majesty may not have a good solution."

"The fish has been caught. Please do your best to prepare a few dishes. Tomorrow His Majesty will host a banquet for all the ministers. I also have people to entertain. You have to help us earn enough face."

Wang Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I was too reckless."

Confucius once said that Lao Tzu's Tao is not in the human world, and in my opinion, the current Confucianism and Taoism are also far away from the human world. Basically, only they can understand what the great Confucian scholars say.

Just laugh if you want to. Wang Zheng is not afraid of laughing. Just say what makes you feel comfortable.

Seeing Wang Zheng being so easy to talk to, Yang Zhizhen immediately became more friendly. "Skills are easy to learn, but it's hard to find new ones. What kind of skills can't you find?"

Wu Zetian nodded, "Well, Hua can't say, things can still be done, how about in the future, we will see while doing it."

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Wen Tang Jian, a department dedicated to providing fresh vegetables to the emperor in winter.

"Master Yang, you are too polite. No problem. I don't make a living with these skills. Master Yang, just send someone to watch. I will never be stingy in teaching you anything I can. In fact, I only win by being novel. If we really talk about ability, I am not as good as you."

I think those students who said they were fascinated by the lecture should be more confused. They used allusions to explain something that could be explained in one sentence. "

Yang Zhizhen frowned. "You mean if we castrate the pig, it won't have that fishy smell?"

Wang Zheng was somewhat surprised that this man, who looked big and strong, was actually intelligent. "Not bad, not only does it not have any fishy smell, it is also fatter than a normal pig, and the meat is also more tender."

"You can try this."

Yang Zhizhen nodded and said with a smile: "There is nothing to hide. From your words and actions, we can see that you don't look down on us.

That's enough. You don't need to worry about some verbal taboos. Our entire Ye Ting Bureau is willing to treat you as one of our own, so we naturally won't mind this."
