- People from Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion basically bought up all the live ducks in Chang¡¯an today. Some wealthy people even saw people from Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion buying ducks everywhere and sold all the ducks they raised in their homes to Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion. Why, because the price given by Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion is fair!
Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion bought ducks everywhere, and bought so many ducks that the Chang¡¯an ducks were empty, which made everyone who knew about it wide-eyed.
Those dignitaries in the court could not see clearly, and many concubines in the palace could not see clearly. Even Li Shimin just smiled helplessly when he knew about it.
??Look at the King of Wei, and then look at the King of Jin. He is still so unique in governing children and doing things.
On the surface it always looks like nonsense, but in the end there is always some truth to it. But this time Zhi'er bought so many ducks in Chang'an. Li Shimin didn't know what Zhi'er was doing. Is it just to eat ducks?
Today, Li Zhi showed many people in the mansion what a dead duck has a tough mouth. Li Zhi had the ducks he bought killed. At this time, there were a lot of slaughtered ducks, and several large basins of fresh duck blood alone were collected. Li Zhi asked People keep duck blood, it is a good thing.
At this time, there were a lot of ducks, and there were also a lot of fruit trees that the guards in the mansion went out to chop down during the day. There were also several big piles.
Li Zhi ordered everyone to store some of the packed ducks. In the harsh winter of December, this kind of slaughtered poultry can be stored for a long time. Just be careful about cats and dogs. The harsh winter is the best refrigeration equipment, and it is still purely natural. , much safer and safer than the refrigerators of later generations.
And Li Zhi selected dozens of the fattest ones, had them placed in a stove made of bricks and stones, and roasted with fruit wood. He even sent people to the palace in advance to tell his mother and father not to have dinner and wait for him.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun would not find it strange because their son was used to misbehaving. They were just waiting to see what Zhi'er would do tonight. However, it was not difficult to guess that since they had bought so many ducks, they probably had to eat ducks at night.
As night falls, the palace of Prince Jin is filled with the aroma of roast duck. It is really fragrant. It does not require too much seasoning. Just salt and a small amount of spices. The spices are the most common ones, such as cumin. .
But Li Zhi was not at the roast duck furnace at this time, but was looking at a large pool in front of him. Li Zhi had asked someone to change the water in the pool before, replacing it with alkaline water. At this time, a large number of duck down quilts were placed in the pool water, soaking.
Alkaline water can remove the oil contained in duck down itself. This is degreasing. Only duck down that has been degreased can be fluffy and warmer.
Meng Tian has done this kind of thing before, but it was an accident. Meng Tian wanted to use the hair of wild animals to make a brush, but the brush he made was always unusable due to ink absorption problems.
At that time, Meng Tian probably threw the brush away in anger, and happened to throw it into an alkali puddle. However, when he remembered it the next day and picked it up from the alkali puddle, he found that the brush could absorb ink miraculously.
At this time, Li Zhi did the same thing as General Meng, but one was unintentional and the other was intentional. One is to soak animal hair in alkaline water, and the other is to soak duck down in alkaline water.
This alkaline water is just ordinary alkaline water. It will take a few more days to completely degrease the duck down.
After Li Zhi arranged the alkaline pool, he went to the stove pond. At this time, the aroma here was rich, the aroma of roast duck meat, the aroma of burning fruit wood, the aroma of steaming spices and oil.
King Jin even ordered some duck fat from the roasted fat duck, which is also a good thing.
Some restaurants in later generations used this kind of roast duck oil for cooking. This was not considered a good oil in later generations, but in the early Tang Dynasty, roast duck oil was definitely a rare good thing.
Li Zhi asked people to preserve the collected roast duck fat.
It can be said that ducks are full of treasures, duck down, duck blood, and even duck fat was an absolute good thing in the early Tang Dynasty.
The roast duck has been roasted, and Li Zhi had already asked people to bring the prepared food boxes. The food boxes were all insulated. At this time, there were two ducks in one food box, and the maids were busy dressing them up.
"Chun Tao, it's all settled. Every prince's palace will send two. They must be delivered to every prince's palace. They must also be sent to every prince's palace. Don't miss any one."
"Princess, little aunt, let's go to the palace to deliver it. We have to deliver it to Concubine Wei and the fourth concubine. We also have to deliver it to Concubine Yang, Concubine Chao and my aunt. By the way, the food that I have specially marked. The box is sent to the father, the emperor and the queen."
The carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion was busy running around Chang'an at this time. Prince Jin personally carried two food boxes, one of which was naturally sent to his father, the Queen and his Queen. The other one contained only half a duck and was sent to the Dali Temple Prison.
When passing by Dali Temple, Li Zhi got off the carriage and gave the food box to the minister of Dali Temple who came in a hurry.
"Send this to my imperial brother and tell him that there will be ducks in the palace tonight, and the emperor will have half of it."
??When Li Zhi arrived at the palace, the maids who followed him dispersed and went to deliver ducks to various palaces.
Li Shimin deliberately stayed in the Li Zheng Hall tonight. When Li Zhi came here with his princess and his concubine, he saw many empty plates, chopsticks and spoons placed on a large table.
The two little princesses, the father, the emperor and the queen are all sitting here. They must have been sitting for a long time. Seeing that Si Zi and Hengshan were already sitting there, they were a little impatient.
"Zhi'er, your father guesses that what you brought tonight must be a duck."
"Yes, it's duck, but the duck Zhi'er brought tonight should be different from what the palace usually eats."
¡°What kind of duck is that?¡±
¡°Roast duck!¡±
"Brother, is the roasted duck as delicious as the roasted rabbit?"
There, Hengshan had already gathered next to the food box that Li Zhi was holding, and was about to reach out and open the food box.
"Zhi'er has roasted whatever he got. Come on, let your father and mother try the duck roasted by Zhi'er. The queen remembers that the roasted rabbit eaten at Tangquan Palace tastes really good."
Hengshan couldn¡¯t wait to open the food box, and opened the food box. The aroma of roast duck mixed with a hint of spices wafts out.
¡°It smells so good!¡±
Li Shimin sighed and looked at the two roast ducks in the food box, which were burnt and shiny.
At this time, Li Zhi had already taken out the two roast ducks with his own hands. Next to the roast ducks, there was a small knife, which was sent by King Jin himself. If it were someone else who really didn't dare to put a knife in the food box, then he would probably have to Considered an assassin.
When the roast duck was placed on the plate, Li Zhi took a knife and cut the duck into pieces.
"Brother, I want duck legs!"
"Okay, I'll give you a duck leg, little imperial sister. Sizi, I'll give you one too. Queen mother, how about you try this duck breast?"
Two ducks, if several people share the food at this time, if it is an instant duck in later generations, it must not be enough. This is the early Tang Dynasty, but there are no instant ducks. Li Zhi picked the fattest ducks, so several people share, It¡¯s also worthy of points.
At this time, naturally all the palaces and palaces received gifts from King Jin. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
