A son cooking for his father is an act of filial piety; it would not damage the royal family's reputation.
The royal chefs in the imperial kitchen were shocked to see a prince coming to work in the kitchen for the first time.
But when Liu Wei skillfully heated the wok and cooked, they all seemed to have opened a new world to him, eagerly learning from him.
The art of stir-frying only began after the Song Dynasty.
Before the Song Dynasty, vegetables were always boiled or steamed.
Liu Wei was naturally not used to it. After leaving Yanmen Pass and capturing Shanwei City,
He then taught the chief eunuch, Xiao Guizi, how to make hot pot, stir-fries, and barbecue.
The last time Liu Hong invited him to dinner, the food was as bland as water.
This time, in order to give Liu Hong something to look forward to, Liu Wei decided to demonstrate the cooking method to the imperial chefs.
Maybe if Liu Hong eats stir-fried dishes every day and his diet improves, his health will improve all at once!
There are two important tips for stir-frying: one is controlling the heat, and the other is using plenty of oil.
People used to not cook because oil was expensive and they couldn't bear to use it.
Could it be that the mighty Han imperial family couldn't even afford a little oil?
The heat is easier to control. Now Liu Wei has sold honeycomb briquettes in Luoyang, which can be used not only for heating but also for cooking.
With both conditions met, Liu Wei immediately prepared several elaborate dishes.
Although there is no sugar or chili, it still contains a variety of seasonings such as ginger, garlic, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns!
"When did my son acquire such skills?"
Looking at the table full of dishes, Liu Hong's appetite was whetted. He tasted them one by one without caring about his image, his eyes shining.
Clearly, Liu Wei's cooking, from its appearance to its taste, had deeply impressed him.
The delicacies I ate before tasted like chewing wax.
"Father, I learned this from my adoptive father!" Liu Wei offered an excuse.
"I never imagined they possessed such skills. I wonder if they are still alive. I must thank them properly; they raised such a fine son for me!"
Liu Hong was clearly unaware that Liu Wei's adoptive parents had died.
Moreover, he died at the hands of Empress Dowager Dong.
"I will also visit them on my trip to Zhuojun!"
Liu Wei paused for a moment, then chose not to speak.
Even if we told Liu Hong about this, it wouldn't make any difference.
Liu Hong lost his father at a young age and lived with Empress Dowager Dong before ascending the throne.
It was impossible for Liu Hong to kill Empress Dowager Dong to avenge his adoptive parents. Even if Liu Hong knew that Consort Jing was also killed by Empress Dowager Dong, he still couldn't do it.
Liu Wei decided to handle this himself!
"I grant your permission!"
The father and son drank some wine and talked for a while.
By the time Liu Wei left the palace, it was almost 9 PM.
Liu Wei hurriedly left the palace.
Huang Qiong came up to pay his respects again. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Wei took Yan Shisan and Yan Xiaoliu, who had been waiting there for a long time, and prepared to go to the Princess's residence to stay overnight.
The three of them walked briskly along Kaiyangmen Street.
As we reached a corner, a sudden, violent gust of wind swept through the air!
not good!
There's an assassin!
