The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 384 Zheng Guanyin is anorexic and makes MSG

Li Rou's release of "Flying Man" really made Li Chengdao very angry.

He really felt helpless towards this little daughter who was full of quirky ideas.

Only grounding is the biggest punishment for her.

After Queen Deshan found out about this, she personally took Li Rou to Feihuang Palace to apologize to Wu Meiniang, and then went back at night to beat up the naughty kid Li Rou.

I heard that the eldest princess’s cries could be heard clearly from several palaces away.

Really miserable.

Li Yu and Li Rui also received different punishments. Li Yu was also grounded by Chang Sun Wugou and was not allowed to go anywhere.

Li Rui was even worse. This time she scared Wu Meiniang so much that she couldn't take it easy in the future.

But it's not a problem to let Li Rou get so skinny.

So how to make Li Rou calm down really bothered him.

While chatting with several central officials in the Imperial Study Room, he mentioned this matter.

After hearing Li Chengdao's complaint, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is not young now, so you might as well choose a consort for her.

With a marriage contract, you will definitely feel more at ease. "

After Jia Xu made the proposal, the other ministers also agreed.

In ancient times, it was normal for a woman to get married at the age of sixteen, especially for royal women.

Li Chengdao just thought for a moment and shook his head to reject the proposal.

"I will not get involved in Qingning's marriage. Let her make her own decision in the future."

Li Chengdao said calmly.

After all, he is still a time traveler. He doesn't have so many decadent ideas. He can just let his children make their own decisions about their marriage.

But it's too early to say that now.

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, the ministers wisely stopped mentioning the matter.

After more than an hour, Li Chengdao saw that the time was almost up, so he left the small court meeting.

Then he went to Chang'an Palace to have a meal with Zheng Guanyin and prepare to pay his respects.

But on the way, he heard about Zheng Guanyin's recent situation from Gao Huai.

"The Queen Mother has been suffering from a loss of appetite these days. The imperial chef has prepared all kinds of dishes, but none of them are to the Queen Mother's liking."

Gao Huai reported to Li Chengdao.

Hearing this, Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Has the imperial doctor checked it? Is it not a disease?"

"Replying to your Majesty, it's not a disease, it's just anorexia."

Gao Huai replied.

Li Chengdao felt a little relieved before heading to Chang'an Palace.

When Li Chengdao arrived at Chang'an Palace, Zheng Guanyin had already prepared a sumptuous lunch waiting for him.

Although Zheng Guanyin had no appetite, her mother loved her children. She couldn't let Li Chengdao go hungry if she didn't want to eat.

After Li Chengdao took his seat, Zheng Guanyin served him food and chatted with him.

"Your Majesty is still angry about Rou'er and Yu'er?"

Zheng Guanyin served Li Chengdao a bowl of soup and asked with a smile.

After hearing what Zheng Guanyin said, Li Chengdao said angrily: "The three of them are simply lawless. Mother, you should discipline them more and not be too doting." To be honest, the one who loves the three princes and princesses the most is Zheng Guanyin. Queen Mother.

After all, grandparents and grandchildren are related across generations.

"It's just a kid playing around, it's nothing. Your Majesty doesn't need to take it too seriously."

Zheng Guanyin said after smiling slightly.

Li Chengdao didn't take it seriously, but when he saw that Zheng Guanyin still hadn't drank a sip of the chicken soup in his bowl, and the dishes hadn't been touched much, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard that my mother has lost her appetite these days, but is she feeling unwell?"

He was still very concerned about Zheng Guanyin's health, so he felt relieved after asking him personally.

Zheng Guanyin shook his head and said: "My health is good, but these days I feel more and more that the food is tasteless and difficult to swallow.

The cook also changed several batches, but there was always no appetite. "

After listening to Zheng Guanyin's words, Li Chengdao probably understood.

Simply put, it’s anorexia.

In this era, it is understandable to suffer from anorexia. After all, the delicacies of ancient times were not as abundant as those of later generations, and there were not many ingredients.

"If we could make some ingredients from later generations and put them in the dishes, the taste of the dishes would surely be a lot better, right?"

Li Chengdao thought in his mind.

But he hasn't seen any methods of making food ingredients, which is a problem.

After thinking hard for a long time, Li Chengdao just remembered an ingredient that could be made.

That’s MSG!

"No, if you want to extract a sufficient amount of MSG from kelp, you need an extremely large amount. It's too extravagant and wasteful."

Li Chengdao thought secretly in his mind, and another ingredient appeared in his mind.

That's chicken essence.

The main component of chicken essence is guanylic acid, which is a freshness-enhancing substance comparable to MSG. Guanylic acid is found in large amounts in shiitake mushrooms, so it is not difficult to make.

When he thought of it, he decided to do it. Li Chengdao was almost done eating, and immediately said to Zheng Guanyin: "Mother, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

After that, he got up and left Chang'an Palace.

After leaving Chang'an Palace, Li Chengdao went to the imperial dining room and asked people to experiment.

The method of making chicken is not difficult. You can make it by boiling mushrooms and chicken.

Li Chengdao personally visited the imperial dining room and directed the imperial chefs to take an old hen, kill it, and stew it in a small earthen stove.

Then, simply wash the soaked mushrooms, pick them up, drain them, and put them into another pot on the earthen stove.

Although the royal chefs didn't know why His Majesty did this, they could only follow the instructions.

Time passed bit by bit, and water was added several times along the way. The mushrooms and old hens were gradually cooked, and a strange umami smell filled the small kitchen.

"It's almost done, take it out."

After Li Chengdao smelled the smell, he asked someone to fish out the mushrooms, leaving a thick juice in the pot.

Place the boiled mushrooms on the filter gauze and twist them hard to squeeze out the thick juice.

After a few times, the shiitake mushrooms in the gauze were dry and looked like their bodies had been hollowed out.

The next step is to mix the thick old hen soup and mushroom juice together, mash the chicken and chicken bones with a mash pot, mix them into the juice, and stir evenly.

However, it is just a matter of waiting for the juice to dry up naturally into lumps, and then grinding the lumps into powder.

This is how the simple version of chicken essence was formed!
