Ming Dynasty: My Father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 600 Delicious French Fries! The Cooking Skills of Prince Han!

Latest website:

Zhu Di wants to eat potatoes.

Prince Han expressed his understanding for his request.

After all, those were his words before, and he boasted that Haikou potatoes can be used as the staple food of the people, so your taste must not be bad!

If it tastes too bad to be eaten, let alone making it a staple food, the common people will spit on you to death!

Therefore, in order to appease Zhu Di's restless heart, Zhu Gaoxu decided to cook it himself.

There is a special canteen on the ship, which is fully equipped with all kinds of utensils and is specially designed to provide food and drink for the middle and high-level officers of the navy.

As for the lower-level sergeants of the Navy, I'm sorry, just go and eat the bread by yourself!

Prince Han personally cooked the meal, which immediately caused an uproar throughout the navy.

Although they are all rough people and not like those literati and Confucian scholars who sing all day long about "a gentleman is far away from the cook", even the common people at the bottom understand the principle of "men are in charge outside and women are in charge at home".

Men, big men, should stand upright, so how can they go to the kitchen to cook?

That would make people laugh!

What's more, who is he, Zhu Gaoxu?

His Majesty the King of Han, the most popular candidate for crown prince, and the most popular heir to the Ming Dynasty!

Why do you have the nerve to cook?

In this era when male chauvinism is prevalent, Zhu Gaoxu's approach was nothing short of subversive and immediately caused quite a commotion.

Yang Shiqi and others followed Prince Han to the kitchen door. After hesitating for a moment, they still did not dare to go in.

"My lord, why are you doing this?"

"There are also cooks on this ship. You can just tell them what to do. There is no need for you to cook it yourself. If this matter gets publicized, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation!"

Hearing Yang Shiqi's words, Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes angrily.

"Husky, tell me, why do you want me to cook in person?"

Yang Shiqi was stunned when he heard this, and then gave a tentative answer.

"To please the emperor?"

Using the dignity of a prince to personally cook and prepare delicious food for the emperor is a great act worthy of commendation.

What a filial son!

"Bullshit!" Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "Husky, you are still short-sighted!"

"Today is the day when potatoes first appeared, so there is no room for mistakes."

"That's why I personally cook and use potatoes to make delicacies, so that those who hold the core power of the Ming Dynasty will recognize these potatoes. In this way, the follow-up promotion of potatoes will be much simpler."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but blush, and he bowed his hand to Zhu Gaoxu sincerely.

"Your Highness is righteous, but Shi Qi is one-sided."

"Go in together?"

Zhu Gaoxu made the invitation with a smile, which scared Yang Shiqi and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Ahem, Shiqi should wait outside!"

Are you kidding me? Prince Han is shameless, but he, Yang Shiqi, is still shameless.

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen!

Even though Yang Shiqi has a broad vision, he is still an out-and-out Confucian scholar, so he still directly refused this kind of principled issue, just like the Confucian celebrities present, none of them came, they were all waiting It’s time to eat!

Zhu Gaoxu did not embarrass him, ordered Zheng He to fetch a large basket of potatoes, and then began to act.

The dozens of cooks in the kitchen looked at him with admiration, waiting for his order.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, and immediately called Nie Xing and Guo Deng, and a group of people were busy in the kitchen.

Peeling the skin, burning oil, slicing... I was very busy.

Of course, Prince Han's angry scoldings and scoldings could be heard from time to time outside the kitchen, which made Yang Shiqi and others' hearts skip a beat.

The most depressing person at the moment is Nie Xing. He is also the commander of the secret guards after all. He was once the leader of the rebellion, but because he was good with the knife, now he has become a potato cutter...

Following my own prince is really outrageous!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the busy backs of everyone, then took the apron from Guo Deng and tied it on himself. He was going to demonstrate to these country bumpkins how to make a delicious feast with potatoes.

Potatoes are eaten as a staple food in the West. Not only can they fill the stomach, but their nutritional value is not much different from wheat and rice.

This is different from sweet potatoes, which can only be used as a supplementary food. If you only eat sweet potatoes for a long time, your body will have problems.

This is why Zhu Gaoxu only solemnly introduced potatoes to the people in power in the Ming Dynasty today, and did not mention sweet potatoes, corn, etc.

To bite off more than we can chew, let’s promote the most important potato first. As long as it can be successfully promoted, sweet potatoes and corn will naturally not be a problem.

In other words, Zhu Gaoxu's current task is to make Zhu Di and others recognize Tudou, or even fall in love with Tudou.

However, there are many ways to prepare potatoes, and it takes some effort to make people accept them.

After all, for many Han people who are accustomed to eating noodles and rice, suddenly replacing the original food with a staple food will cause a lot of trouble if it does not suit their taste.

Nie Xing was responsible for cutting potatoes like crazy, Guo Deng was directing dozens of cooks, and Prince Han was carefully frying French fries himself...

When Zheng He walked into the kitchen, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

Prince Han really does what he says, and he never hesitates when cooking in person.

Just at this moment, a strong fragrance came, which made Zheng He's index finger move.

"Ahem, Prince, this is..."

"Fried potato chips, are they delicious? Try them?"

When the cook used a tool to fish out the fried potato strips, Zhu Gaoxu didn't mind it being too hot, so he directly grabbed one and blew on it with a grin on his face, and then immediately put it into his mouth.

Seeing this situation, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. nEveryone was no longer polite. They imitated His Highness the King of Han's method and began to taste this delicacy.

Zheng He took one and put it into his mouth. Feeling the crispiness of the fries, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, it is really delicious!"

“And it’s a whole new taste!”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded subconsciously, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

The taste of the fries he fried was still a bit different from what he remembered, but it still satisfied him.

Being able to eat French fries in Daming is a gift from God!

"This is just the most basic taste and can be improved according to other people's tastes."

"Alright, get ready to make hot and sour potato shreds. Zheng He goes and gets the chili peppers you brought back!"

Zheng He was confused when he heard this and was a little confused.

"It's the red one. It's an excellent seasoning..."

Following the order from Prince Han, Zheng He also took action without stopping, willing to fight him.

In this way, the kitchen became busy, and a strong aroma continued to spread.

In the room not far away, Zhu Di was sitting on the main seat in a majestic manner.

Yang Pu, Xia Yuanji and others took their seats. They were all important officials in the court.

But they were talking about something enthusiastically at the moment, and their words were full of lightness and joy.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han cooks in person, how can it be considered appropriate if word spreads about this?"

"That's not true. Prince Han really doesn't care about etiquette!"

"Being willful and arrogant will make you laugh!"

Zhu Di's face slowly darkened as he listened to these people applying eye drops to him.

The anger in his heart is rising, but it is not towards Han King Zhu Gaoxu, but towards Yang Pu and those famous scholars!

The second brother just cooked a meal for me with his own hands, how can you all be so embarrassed?
