The maid exclaimed.

The crisp cracking sound of porcelain.

There are also dishes that still have a lingering warmth on the ground.

The white cat landed lightly, there was no apology for doing bad things in its cunning eyes, it watched the butterfly fly away, stretched out its paw hook, its ears suddenly moved, and the call of its own shovel officer was faintly heard in the distance, and then glanced at the fish on the bluestone slab, and ran away with a smoke, leaving the mess all over the ground to the maids to worry about.

The maid who passed the food was first frightened by the cat's sudden collision, and then the porcelain fell to the ground with a clatter, and the sound trembled, and her mind was blank and there was no room for thinking, until the cat ran away, and the eunuch caught up when he heard the sound, and saw the fish lying on the broken porcelain and bluestone slab, and the flowing sauce, and was shocked: "How can you be so careless!"

The maid slowly came back to her senses, and her breath was suffocated, this is an important dish, and her own life is afraid that it will be difficult to protect, and her face is even paler, so she hurriedly explained the reason: "Father-in-law, slave maid...... The slave didn't mean it!"

"Fortunately, the maid in the back knows how to stop and not cause a big disaster, otherwise none of you will be able to escape!" The eunuch accused, and the maid consciously broke into the cauldron, and her body shook into a sieve, eager to bury herself as a quail, thinking that she could not see the sun tomorrow, her eyes were red, and two lines of tears fell, and she did not dare to cry.

Seeing that the nobles in the distance had not been alarmed, the eunuch waved his hand to let them retreat, and the one with the fish was sent back to the kitchen first, and instructed the other maids with the dishes to take another path: "Be careful, take steady steps, don't be hit by cats again!" and said to the maid who made a mistake: "What are you doing here, hurry up and take a broom and a rag to clean up the aftermath, don't let the nobles get close to this side and find clues, if they get hurt when they get close to this side, no one can save you." We're here to watch, you go back quickly!"

The maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"

When the maid came back, the eunuch went to see the cloth dishes first, and the ladies had already sat down to drink tea and chat, and there were all kinds of cold dishes and cold dishes on the table. He quietly retreated, hurrying to the kitchen.

The chef in the kitchen was also waiting for the chef, and when he saw him coming, his mouth kept counting: "What's the matter with you? How do you return the anchovy, it's just right time to come out of the pot, and when you come and go back now, there will be a fishy smell when it cools, and then go back to the pot to warm it out, and the taste and smell will become worse." If the eldest princess asks, how can the old lady explain to the eldest princess, you deliberately smash the old lady's signboard, right?"

The eunuch smiled bitterly: "Stop the anger and stop the anger, our family is helpless, send the food to the half, suddenly a white cat came out and pounced on the maid, one of the plates of fish was destroyed, our family quickly withdrew all of them to the kitchen, please come and discuss, can you hurry up and make another fish?"

"Now!" the chef's voice was raised, and the helpers in the kitchen looked at it in an instant, "Do you know that anchovies are very expensive and difficult to buy, and you can only buy anchovies of similar weight and size, and at this time, even if you go to the fish market to buy them at a high price, you may not be able to buy them!"

Eunuch Sishan: "Can you replace it with other fish?"

"According to me, either all the fish will be exchanged for other dishes, or you will not just stop it, tell the chief manager, and ask the eldest princess for guilt afterwards. The chef said.

"No, the number of dishes has already been reported, so I can't help it, let's change to another dish." The eunuch said.

The bird's nest on the kitchen side is exciting.

In this flower-viewing banquet, she was transferred to the kitchen to be adjacent to the pastry white case, responsible for fruits, vegetables and preserved fruits.

This question, without the bird's nest to break the brain, the chef took the first step to ask: "You have all heard, I will not say much, now it is the mistake of the chef, but also the challenge of our kitchen, the nobles eat happily, this matter has been revealed, they are not happy to eat, our kitchen has to be punished." Now Guangzheng ideas, according to the existing materials in the kitchen, what kind of dishes, fast speed and short time, in advance, do the finale and last can be served, all come to mind. ”

Cook: "How about mussels, roasting mussels on the fire, seasoning them with minced garlic when they are about to be cooked, they are delicious, and it doesn't take long." ”

"No, the banquet is full of women, and the garlic tastes big, and some people don't like the garlic in their mouths. The chef refuted his suggestion.

You can drink tea and rinse your mouth afterwards, the cook chattered.

At this time, the bird's nest came out and made a proposal: "The house bought 'Shih Tzu tongue', which is white and plump, delicious and crispy, and can be used to make melon skin Shih Tzu tongue or other soups." ”

"Xi Shi tongue" is a sand clam, non-clam non-mussel, thick small triangular light brown yellow shell, it opens the shell and spits out the white flesh resembles a small tongue, the taste is delicious, and there is Xi Shi Fan Li's escape failure, Xi Shi bites his tongue and spits out the lake, is swallowed by the river mussel The legend is blessed, although I don't know whether it is a fisherman or a local literati and ink writer in order to make it famous and easy to buy and sell and give a small shell such a story, but this name does make "Xi Shi tongue" popular in the Beijing fish market.

The chef saw that she looked at her a few more times and asked her to continue.

"Shih Tzu tongue is cooked, remove the internal organs and wash it, select the spinach heart and blanch it with boiling water, put it in the soup bowl to lay the bottom, put the Shih Tzu tongue in the boiling soup, sprinkle the leek and coriander after boiling, pour it into the soup bowl from the pot, this soup is fresh and delicious, suitable for adjusting the taste during the banquet, and then put on the meat dishes of thick oil red sauce. ”

The chef nodded.

Some people disagreed, "It's better to make crabs, there are already fish as the main ingredient here, and the taste of crabs made with eggs is amazing." ”

"Wouldn't this make the eldest princess remember that there should have been a fish dish on the table, which was self-defeating. The eunuch disagreed.

The balance in the hearts of the chef and the chef has tilted in the direction of Xi Shi's tongue, you see that the head is good, Xizi is as beautiful as a flower, and then introduce it a little bit on the banquet to nourish the yin and nourish the heart, cool the liver and eyes, the ladies will like this dish, and it is not effortless to make, and it is in time to put it in the banquet, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the guests and the eldest princess.

After deciding on the alternative dishes, they began to cook in an orderly manner, the cook's hand was twisted, and the dishes followed the arc of the iron pot, turning over in mid-air and drawing half an arc, and the raging fire instantly wrapped them, and their parabolas slipped back into the pot along the arc of the iron pot, and the fire also returned to the stove, so that they could pick up the pot.

Plates of dishes were served out by the maids like water.

At the banquet, the eldest princess summoned the chief manager to ask him to go to the kitchen to urge, why can't the anchovy be served?

"It's over. "When the chef and the eunuch heard this, they were like mourning.

The manager understood the process of the matter and ordered: "I don't care what you do, this dish must be served!"

When he left, the chef and the eunuch continued to worry while calling someone to buy fish.

Bird's Nest said again: "If, the slave maid is saying if." If you cut a fish in half, wouldn't there be a dish left?"
