"Who?"

He had just stepped towards the gate, but was stopped by soldiers.

"Below, Lin Yan Gongzi invited him to today's banquet as the chef. ”

Mo Chen replied with a smile, I wore a better cloth suit today, and I can't wear it too casually when I come here.

The four soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and one of them walked into the door, and it was a long time before he came out, and the soldier in front of him was chattering in his ear, not knowing what to say.

"You can go in, the kitchen is on the left side of the inner courtyard, don't walk around. ”

"Okay!" Mo Chen nodded like a stunned man, and strode into Lin Qi's house.

"This ......" was stunned at the first glance when he entered the inside, the water around the high wall was impassable, and the first thing he saw when he stepped inside was a rockery, and there was a pool for raising fish next to it.

There are three roads, left and right and middle, and the path is paved with rain stones, and there is no end in sight at the road distance.

"Rich people are just different..."

Mo Chen shook his head and complained, making his home look like a labyrinth.

But fortunately, at this time, a maid with a plate happened to pass by, and after asking for directions, I learned that these three roads went to the kitchen, the main courtyard and the ancestral house together.

After the maid left, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, and directly came to the front of a courtyard with a few ethereal flashes.

There is also a small bamboo forest next to it, and there is a person dressed in household clothes at the door who is chopping firewood, which should be the kitchen.

Mo Chen casually tidied up the clothes on his body, and slowly walked over with his hands behind his back.

"You're the chef who came to cook today, right?"

As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard a voice behind him stop him.

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows and turned his head, and saw a person standing behind him who was also dressed as a family member, wearing a cloth hat on his head, his face was flushed, and he was about forty years old.

"It's me, I don't know if you're it?" looked at the person in front of him, and subconsciously asked.

"Just call me Xu Cai, I'm in charge of this area, yesterday the master ordered that a chef come over to cook today, so I recognized you." ”

The person named Xu Cai straightened down the somewhat crooked cloth hat on his head, and looked at Mo Chen carefully before saying.

......

After a few cold words, Xu Cai said that he was going to prepare to receive today's guests and left in a hurry.

Mo Chen didn't think so, although he didn't know why he was holding a banquet today, he just had to cook.

Creak!

After pushing open the kitchen door, I found that there was a lot of space inside, but there was no one, there was still a fire on the stove, and the big pot was covered with a lid, and I didn't know what was steaming inside.

"Little brother, is there no one in your kitchen?" Mo Chen walked out of the kitchen with questions, and politely asked the boy who was still chopping wood, who was only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The young man stopped what he was doing, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, turned around and said, "My master has taken leave to return to his hometown, and he has been gone for five days. ”

Mo Chen nodded suddenly, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder Lin Qi wanted to come over to cook by himself, it turned out that there was no cook in their house.

Stepping into the kitchen again, I took a few glances at the ingredients piled on the floor, most of them were just vegetarian dishes, and on the other side there were several kinds of meat on the stove.

Among them, the most conspicuous thing was the shell-like thing, which made Mo Chen sigh in amazement.

"Sure enough, he is rich and capricious..."

I picked up the shells with colorful patterns and looked at them in my hands, each of them was only one-third the size of the palm, and they were so tightly closed that I couldn't see the flesh inside.

This kind of shell is called "Colorful Glazed Shell", Mo Chen has seen it in the Xiuqi Continent Food Strategy, it grows in the depths of the sea at the edge of the continent, and human beings rely on brute force to catch it.

If you want to get colorful glazed shells, you can only rely on luck, go to the beach every day to see if you can pick up shells that float from the depths of the sea, but the probability is still very low.

Therefore, it has created the sky-high price of colorful glazed shellfish, but its meat is very tender and refreshing.

There are a total of five colorful glazed shells on the stove, which makes Mo Chen want to taste it a little excitedly, but unfortunately it is someone else's thing.

When it was close to ten o'clock in the morning, he heard that there seemed to be a lot of movement outside the mansion, and there seemed to be a lot of people, but Mo Chen didn't have time to see which big man it was, but began to make food.

Because I didn't want to be disturbed, I directly sent the only woodcutter in the kitchen away, leaving only the old hen in my hand.

Three old hens were arranged on the thick board, and the internal organs had been hollowed out, and Mo Chen's cycle was repeatedly massaged on each chicken's body, and the chicken meat was almost torn off.

"It seems that what the master taught is still somewhat useful. Mo Chen waved his sour hand and said to himself, what he was going to do today was a dish that he had only made once before.

When the three chickens were almost massaged, they were smeared with the specially prepared accessories and marinated for about ten minutes.

Mo Chen directly waved the kitchen knife and peeled off all the meat on the chicken, leaving only a pair of chicken skeletons that were also cut into five or six pieces.

Wow!

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it was Xu Cai who came in.

"There are three people at noon, and there is still half an hour to eat, how are you preparing?" Xu Cai said breathlessly, and then looked at the old hen that had been dismantled on the board.

"Hey, hey, it's a very important guest today, how many old hens can you make for others to eat?" Xu Cai immediately became anxious when he saw this, this chicken is so ordinary, how can he make this kind of dish for others to eat?

"Where's the colorful glazed shell?" Xu Cai suddenly remembered something, looked around in the kitchen, and asked anxiously.

Mo Chen smiled helplessly, and looked sideways at the inside of the cauldron behind him.

Xu Cai chuckled in his heart, strode forward to the stove, and saw that the colorful glazed shellfish had been boiled.

"You... You, you..."

Xu Cai was so angry that he couldn't say anything for a while, his fingers kept pointing at Mo Chen, this colorful glazed shellfish is priceless, and it has to be steamed to eat to have the kind of tenderness of shell kneading, but now it is actually used to make soup.

"Okay, isn't it just a few shells? ”

Mo Chen shook his head helplessly, pushed Xu Cai, who was already angry and trembling all over, out of the kitchen, and then closed the door directly with a bang.

......

After peeling off all the chickens of the three old hens, the chicken skeletons were all chopped and thrown into the cauldron to boil soup with colorful glazed shells.

"This taste..."Mo Chen deliberately stretched out his head and inhaled the aroma of the broth through his nose in the cauldron.

The dish he wants to cook today is called "sauna chicken" in his previous life, but there is no such thing as a sauna in this world, so Mo Chen can only name it "massage chicken".
