Looking at the steaming greens in front of her, Xue Rongrong took a tentative sniff and found a pleasant fragrance. She looked carefully and said in a deep voice, "You didn't put any soy sauce in it?"
Whether it is coarse salt or clear salt, it has an astringent taste. Therefore, the ancients often used coarse salt to make sauce soup when cooking.
Because it is a sauce soup, the dishes made with it basically taste the same!
Moreover, stir-frying only appeared in the late Song Dynasty. That is to say, before the end of the Song Dynasty, there were no stir-frying dishes, only stews with sauces and soups!
"Coarse salt tastes bitter. Clear salt is slightly better, but it also has a bitter taste, so it needs to be made into a sauce soup. However, refined salt is pure and tasteless, so it doesn't need to be made into a sauce soup!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
"So, you just put the salt on it?"
Xue Rongrong asked in a deep voice.
"That's right!"
Qin Yu said.
"How can this be delicious? Besides, I see that this little green vegetable has basically not changed at all. I doubt you even cooked it thoroughly!"
Xue Rongrong said.
"Stop talking so much and eat it while it's hot. This dish won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Qin Yu said.
Xue Rongrong was half-believing and half-doubting, so she picked up a piece of green vegetable with chopsticks and started eating it. When the vegetable went into her throat, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she looked at the vegetable in front of her in disbelief.
"How can it be so delicious!"
Xue Rongrong was shocked.
She used to eat meat, fish, seafood, etc., and thought that those expensive dishes must be more delicious than small green vegetables. Who would have thought that the taste of small green vegetables far surpassed those vegetables!
Moreover, it does not have the bitterness or salty taste of the sauce soup, but instead has a refreshing fragrance!
She didn't care about her image and started eating with big mouthfuls. In the blink of an eye, she had finished the whole plate of green vegetables.
"Uh... this thing is really for feeding pigs..."
Qin Yu said speechlessly.
"What are you talking about! Do you want a beating?"
Xue Rongrong showed a ferocious expression to Qin Yu and raised her little fist.
Qin Yu hurriedly said: "Ahem! I was just kidding you, if you still want to eat, I'll make you another plate!"
After saying that, Qin Yu went to fry another plate. This time, Xue Rongrong ate it all up again. Qin Yu looked helpless and fried two more plates. This time he was able to eat the green vegetables.
"Ah! I finally got to eat a dish from my previous life!"
Qin Yu sighed and muttered to himself.
Next, he was finally able to reproduce the dishes from his previous life one by one!
The Imperial Palace of the Imperial Capital!
"Your Majesty! According to the information I received, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the southern border for three days, but no salt has entered the southern border. Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no solution, and the salt consumption in Daliang is serious. Your Majesty, we should make plans early!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty! Lord Shangguan is absolutely right. If this continues, the people of Daliang won't be able to buy salt in half a month at most. By then, public resentment will surely boil over!"
"Your Majesty! Crown Prince Qin Wu has already led his troops to the border of Si Nan Kingdom. How about having His Highness Qin Wu go and negotiate with Si Nan Kingdom to purchase salt from them?"
"Your Majesty! The Sinan Kingdom simply wants us to forgive their debt. This is not a loss for us in Daliang!"
The officials said one after another.
These people were all arranged by Shangguan Xiong. Next, Qin Yu's reputation will be ruined, and it will be the time for Qin Wu to show his prowess. Then, the position of the crown prince will change hands, and that will be the time of Qin Yu's death!
