Chapter 279

The night is getting dark.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked everyone to sit down. Niu Zhen was sitting on his right hand, followed by Lu Fei, Luo Xin and other generals.

On his left, Pang Yukun was the first, followed by Zhan Xingchang, Chen Wenlong and other civil servants.

There are hundreds of officials in the main hall.

Xiao mingduan sat on the throne and looked at the group. The agitation in his heart gradually subsided.

Yes, he made such achievements only one year after he came to the state of Dayu. If you give him more time, what about the era of great navigation? Xiao Ming can also lead the way.

"Today is new year's Eve. If you can come to the palace, it will make the palace a lot more lively. Otherwise, I will feel a little lonely when I celebrate the new year alone."

They sat down, and Xiao Ming's eyes swept over them.

"It's also our honor that your highness can invite us to the palace." Lu Fei arched his hand to Xiao Ming.

Li Kaiyuan said quickly: "what Lu Xiaowei said is that he could spend the new year's Eve with his highness, but there was smoke on his ancestral grave. Haha..."

The others burst into laughter.

Pang Yukun said, "Your Highness, it is said that on New Year's Eve, your highness also arranged a lot of singing, dancing and dramas. Is that true?"

"Yes, there are. But before that, eat first. After dinner, set off fireworks. After fireworks, watch song and dance." Xiao Ming told us the plan for tonight.

As soon as he said this, all the people below immediately burst into laughter. This is a lively evening.

In a short time, the maidservants in the palace came in with delicious food and set a table in front of everyone.

These meals are carefully cooked by Xiao Ming in the kitchen, most of which have modern characteristics.

When people saw these dishes, they were excited.

What they are looking forward to when they come to the palace is the delicious food.

All the dishes were served, and then the wine was served again. Xiao Ming said, "please."

People immediately picked up chopsticks to eat, Lu Fei is directly started to grab a chicken leg to gnaw up.

Xiao Ming looks at the people's food and laughs. He is used to these meals, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are still very rare.

Unfortunately, many of the dishes on this table can't meet the modern requirements because of the lack of materials, such as pepper and sugar.

Because of this, he asked Yue Yun to go out this time and bring back some food crops.

At the same time, he is also thinking about how to start planning for Qingzhou's agriculture after the Chinese New Year. After all, the number of crops in Qingzhou is very single now, which is very unfavorable for the development of Qingzhou's industry.

After all, the development of industry needs raw materials. The problems in this textile workshop have already explained everything.

In addition to cotton, Xiao Ming still thinks that a kind of crop is sugarcane. As long as there is sugarcane, white sugar can be produced. With white sugar, many foods can be produced and processed.

At that time, he could consider the production of military portable food, which would play an important role in the long-distance cavalry or expeditionary army.

"Your Highness, the oil in the palace is delicious." Xiao Ming is thinking, Chen Qi suddenly said.

Xiao Ming said with a smile, "of course, because the oil was made by the servants of the palace."

Pang Yukun immediately became interested. He said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I think the delicacy of the dishes in the palace has something to do with the oil. You might as well pass on the oil and technique to the Wei restaurant. In this way, it can attract many merchants to go to bed and board. It can also increase the income of the government, can't it?"

The Wei restaurant used to belong to the Wei family, but later Xiao Ming asked the government to buy it because of his need.

In this way, it is also convenient for the secret guard to monitor the guests.

When Pang Yukun said this, an idea suddenly sprouted in Xiao Ming's mind. In a modern area, hotels are the symbol of commercial development.

Now Qingzhou merchants in and out very frequently, Qingzhou restaurants can be said often full, which is also a profit point for Qingzhou.

"Pang Changshi's words are reasonable. I didn't expect that a dinner on New Year's Eve would make me feel something." Xiao Ming said happily: "in this case, after the new year, the king called the cook of Wei's restaurant into the palace and asked him to learn cooking skills with the cook. Later, the palace provided oil to Wei's restaurant every day. In this way, these delicious dishes will make the businessmen who come to Qingzhou forget to return."

Niu Zhen took a sip of wine and said, "Your Highness, if this is the case, I will go to Wei's restaurant every day in the future."

"Me too, your highness. You don't know that the food in the palace is really delicious. As soon as I get home, I'll eat the food at home again. It's just as delicious as wax."

On New Year's Eve, all the officials relaxed. Zhan Xingchang asked, "Your Highness, we usually eat cooked food. I'm afraid the food in the palace is different.""Yes, all the dishes in the palace are fried."

"Fried? What is fried A lot of people are whispering.

Although the living standard of the officials is better, they have a better life this year. In the past, their meals were basically cooked and barbecued.

Because the basic tool of cooking, iron pot is not so easy to produce.

During this time, Xiao Ming has been busy with military workshops and galleons, and people's livelihood has just begun to show his strength.

So he asked the servant to go to the kitchen, asked the cook to bring the iron pot and stove to the main hall, and then asked him to bring oil, salt and eggs.

When these things are ready, Xiao Ming said: "cooking, first you need this thing, iron pot."

Xiao Ming stood up and went to the iron pot, which was already on the burning briquette stove.

Niu Zhen and others stopped eating at this time. Instead, they gathered around. Chen Qi said, "I've never seen this iron pot before. Can't it be invented by your highness?"

"it was invented by your highness." Qian Dafu said with pride.

"How do you cook down there?" Pang Yukun asked, his eyes spinning, thinking that now Xiao Ming has finally exposed the secret of the food.

After the Chinese new year, we must ask Xiao Ming for an iron pot to cook.

This new year is to play, Xiao Ming is also playing at this time, so he said: "don't worry, now I will show you a scrambled egg."

Then Xiao Ming put the oil into the pot, because the pot was already hot, and the oil was soon hot.

At this time, Xiao Ming sprinkled some salt in the oil pan, broke the eggs and put them in the pan.

"Crackling." Eggs under the pot, suddenly oil splash, some collapse to Lufei's face, put him hot straight call.

At this time, the officials did not even turn their eyes, and they stared hard.

This time, Xiao Ming made poached eggs. Soon the eggs were cooked. Then he shoveled them out and asked, "who wants to try them?"
