Dunli Mountain, Huaqing Palace.
After soaking in the warm soup, it is naturally the most pleasant to have a hearty dinner at this time.
Fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, for Zhang Chao, he is still in good health at this age, he doesn't have any backache and leg pain, and he doesn't need to take any Jindan Immortal Medicine Big Tonic Pills.
With the cabinet in power and the crown prince in charge of the country, Zhang Chao, the emperor, is still quite chic, and his body is well maintained.
Zhang Chao is delicious, this is a well-known thing.
Zhang Chao is delicious, but he doesn't like to eat seas, and he eats finely.
It's a foodie who can eat, and it's all about enjoyment.
It is said that autumn and winter are tonic, and autumn is the season to stick autumn fat.
At this time, the mutton hot pot is actually very good, and the grilled pork belly or something is also very delicious, and it is good if you have a beef pot.
Of course, this can only be regarded as a good dish in the eyes of ordinary people.
For a foodie of Zhang Chao's level, it is too ordinary.
What he prefers now is all kinds of food, not paying attention to any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but paying attention to different traditional methods of different ingredients from all over the world, and what he wants to eat is an original taste.
"Let's have a few drinks together, I'm happy today, I will personally cook a few dishes for you."
Qin Qiong is a senior and the emperor's father-in-law, but he also suffers it.
He smiled and said, "Then the old minister will give His Majesty a hand and cut vegetables." ” Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said, "I'll chop firewood." ” "I light the fire."
Roth's Letter.
The monarchs and ministers, dressed in ordinary loose robes, shook themselves into the kitchen together.
You don't have to cook a lot of dishes, there are many top-quality ingredients in the kitchen, many of which are specialties from all over the world.
Zhang Chao turned around, picked a Zhejiang Jinhua ham, a Hunan Tanzhou bacon, and picked a few winter bamboo shoots dug in the bamboo forest at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and then selected a few fresh field wild vegetables.
"Eat simply."
Zhang Chao said with a smile.
Ham is now a well-known delicacy, which can be stored for a long time and has a unique flavor, so it is also deeply loved, the most famous of which is Jinhua ham in Zhejiang, and of course, there are many other places where ham is also famous.
A high-quality Jinhua ham that came to the imperial kitchen was more expensive than a big fat pig.
Picking up a sharp knife, Zhang Chao skillfully slashed the layer of meat on the outside of the ham.
After the first peeling off, the inside reveals a beautiful ham meat, which is as ruddy as a jewel. cut off a slice, and Zhang Chao put it directly into his mouth.
This kind of ham meat that is more than three years old does not need to be cooked at all, and it is actually very delicious.
In the mouth, there is a salty aroma, not too salty, but the aroma is strong, and the meat aroma of the ham is very intoxicating.
"Authentic."
Zhang Chao praised.
Ham can be eaten in a variety of ways, either raw or steamed, stewed, stir-fried, etc.
Steaming ham is one of the easiest and most flavorful ways to eat ham.
Place the whole ham on a plate and steam it in water.
When steaming, the fat is facing up and the lean meat is down, and a piece of ham weighing about one pound only needs to be steamed for about two and a half hours, and then simmered for a quarter of an hour.
After steaming, take it out, go to the soup, cool thoroughly, and then you can slice and eat, waist and fat up, according to the horizontal silk slices, at this time it is more a test of knife skills, the thinner the cut, the better.
"It's really a pleasure to watch His Majesty cook.
I haven't eaten it yet, and just looking at it makes people drool.
Cheng Biting Jin swallowed his saliva, leaned his neck and watched Zhang Chao skillfully trim the ham with a knife.
"That is, the first time I ate the yellow buns made by His Majesty in Bashang, I was conquered."
Luo Shixin also wiped his mouth.
These people, now they are all kings, and they are also very picky about eating.
Jinhua ham is not less, but the same ham is different in the hands of the emperor.
"I'll make a ham stew in a while, roasted eel segments with shredded ham, steamed crucian carp with ham slices, and this is the ham four."
"Okay, these four things are good, add some lettuce leaves, put some garlic, and add some spicy when you roast the eel segment, it tastes amazing."
Luo Shixin shouted.
"Hey, you're really good at eating, but it's all very detailed."

Zhang Chao said with a smile.
A Jinhua ham makes four dishes, and Tanzhou bacon is much simpler, the same is a steamed bacon, and then a bacon fried winter bamboo shoots.
Then stir-fry purslane, cold salad houttuynia cordata, and then a fried camellia, fried peanuts, shoot a cucumber, and it's all alive.
Blanch a pot of Shaoxing rice wine.
"Okay, the dishes are ready, let's talk while eating."
Qin Qiong first sandwiched a piece of steamed ham slices and put it in her mouth.
"The color is bright, the red and white are distinct, the lean meat is salty and sweet, the fat meat is fragrant but not greasy, it is indeed delicious and delicious, and it is worthy of tribute."
Zhang Chao said on the side, "In the past, where there were some famous specialties, if they were treated as tribute by the magistrates, it would generally become a bad thing."
Even some ordinary people and businessmen went bankrupt because of this. ” Tribute is originally a good thing, and if you are branded as a tribute, of course, you can be famous, but in the past, many times, it was never a good thing to become a tribute.
If you just pay a little tribute to the royal family, of course, it is nothing, and what you are afraid of is that you will ask for it layer by layer, and as a result, the number of tributes has increased again and again, resulting in a very heavy burden.
Sometimes, the government will even buy these products directly and buy them wholesale, that is, buy these specialties from merchants at a price lower than the market, and then ship them to other places for sale.
The more merchants sell, the more they lose money, and they often go bankrupt when they are overwhelmed.
Therefore, in the past, many times, if a merchant in a certain place had a special product in his hand, he was often very afraid of being selected as a tribute.
But that's no longer the case.
Although local governments still pay tribute to the imperial court every year, this kind of tribute is clearly stipulated by the imperial court that only local officials can purchase special products locally, and it must be at market prices, and there are even quantitative restrictions.
Once recognized by the imperial court, these local specialties will be awarded tribute and royal logo certification brands.
Being able to get such certifications as tribute and royal use is naturally very helpful to the brand of the product.
The imperial court also forbade the official to use and buy these merchants by this non-market means, and the special products of the imperial court and the royal merchants were advertised, which had an excellent brand promotion effect.
Of course, the imperial court did not exactly do good for the merchants.
Good things can be certified as tribute, but it is not easy to get the royal certification.
Because if you get the tribute certification, you will not necessarily be purchased by the palace for royal use, and only those who use the palace to purchase the royal will get the royal certification.
In order to be able to get the royal certification, many merchants have made a lot of money.
After all, many times, the court used only one type of item in the same category, and it had to be re-evaluated and purchased every year.
Only after getting the official purchase of a large number of royal products by the palace can merchants mark their goods with the royal logo and publicize it.
For this reason, the competition is often fierce in the end.
In fact, in the end, every tribute can defeat the same kind and enter the royal court, basically for free for the royal use, and even have to pay a sum of money to the royal family, which is regarded as advertising and certification fees.
It's a lot of money, but it's a classic win-win situation.
As for the royal family, the royal expenses have been reduced, and a sum of money has been obtained.
As for the merchants, with the help of the influence of the royal family, they have greatly improved the brand of their own goods, increased sales and expanded profits.
In today's era, many commodity operations are no longer the kind of family workshop style petty fights in the past, with the support of capital, the famous can form a brand, become stronger and stronger, break the geographical restrictions of state borders and even provincial highways, and make a lot of money to do business.
Just like that little Jinhua ham, it has been advertised well over the years, it is not only a tribute, but also a royal use, under the double certification, whoever mentions ham, does not think of Jinhua ham first.
In Jinhua, Zhejiang, ham has become a well-known pillar industry with local characteristics like fish in Jiangzhou, and countless people raise pigs and process ham.
Nowadays, there are many such characteristic tributes, such as the four treasures of the study, Xuan paper, Hui ink, Sheyan, Tao Yan, Duan inkstone, lake pen, Xuan pen, etc. are all well-known brands, just a brand, it has driven the industrial economy of a state or even several surrounding states.
Shan Xiongxin also picked up a piece of ham slices, "I think back then, Your Majesty's Bashang liquor, Jiaozhou white sugar, Jingdezhen celadon, etc., are also like this."
The same product can drive the economy of a place, but now, there are more and more such hot and popular goods. ” From Bashang liquor to white sugar in Jiaozhou, to rice paper later, to printing houses, to newspapers, to shipyards, porcelain yards, etc., it can be said that the economic take-off in the past 20 years has been like this.
"I went back to Ba a few days ago, and I walked around, but I found that I couldn't recognize it at all.
Bailu Academy, where is it still what it was back then, I think when His Majesty founded the academy, it was just a small courtyard, and now, good guys, covering an area of thousands of acres, it is just like a city. ” Cheng Yanjin nodded, "It's not much, Bashang Zhangjiagou was just a small village ditch on the plateau, but now, the whole plateau is full of houses and people."
Zhangjiagou has become Zhangjia Town, and like Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, Zhangjiakou in Hebei, and Foshan Town in Guangzhou, it has become a famous town in the world, with a population of more than two or three hundred thousand.
You know, ten years ago, these places were just towns and villages under the county, but now, they far exceed many state towns. ” "From Zhenguan to revival, it has developed rapidly for more than 20 years."
Zhang Chao sighed with some emotion, it has indeed developed like Fei over the years, but now Dahua will also face a strong challenge.
The Arabs are going to fight to the death with Dahua, and once this battle is fought, Dahua's economy will definitely be greatly affected, and the first thing to bear the brunt is the foreign trade industry, and the foreign trade industry will be affected, and other industries will definitely be affected.
If we don't do it well, we may have to cause an economic depression and an economic crisis.
"I want to go west, to the river."
In the river, the Wuhu River basin, the area in the river was once occupied by the Persians, and was later controlled by Dahua until now.
The Arabs wanted to compete with Dahua, but they could not compete for supremacy at sea, but only relied on their cavalry to fight for the middle of the river and the Bactria region.

Then go north and fight for the Western Regions.
Zhang Chao planned to personally go to the river and meet the Arabs for a while. t1706231537:
