Kombu and bonito are both marine ingredients, and their own amino acids and monosodium glutamate are the main sources of their flavor, but these two ingredients are afraid of long-term high temperature heating, if kelp is heated for a long time, its aroma changes will be volatilized, and it will ooze a unique bitter taste, and bonito will run out if it is heated for a long time Its own unique fishy smell will run out, so although these two things seem simple, it is not easy to use them reasonably!

The best temperature for the kombu to release the flavor is the water temperature of 60 degrees, so one of the processes of extracting the kombu bonito stock is to soak the kombu in water above 60 degrees for an hour, then take out the kombu and boil the water to more than 80 to 90 degrees on high heat, then immediately turn off the heat and put in the thinly sliced bonito (shaved bonito) in one go, and after soaking for about 10 seconds, immediately filter the dashi, and the filtered broth is the kombu bonito stock.

Li Xiaoyu's operation is coherent and perfect, and before it comes out of the pot, the aroma has begun to spread.

The pale yellow transparent liquid combines the essence of bonito and kelp, and its flavor is fresh, fragrant, mellow and sweet, and it is difficult to describe its flavor in specific words. Different from the traditional chicken rack and pork bone broth in China, the kombu bonito soup is not stewed for a long time, to be precise, it can never be cooked for a long time, it is characterized by the most delicious essence of the ingredients in a short period of time, and avoids some miscellaneous flavors and peculiar smells in the ingredients.

The soup made by Li Xiaoyu may not be as delicious as the pork bone broth cooked by Duan Hong in terms of mellow and long taste, but its deliciousness is not inferior at all.

The clear pale golden soup was slowly filtered out, Li Xiaoyu held the soup bowl and laid it flat on the table, Duan Hong couldn't help but pick up the soup spoon and wanted to taste it.

"Your stock is transparent?"

"You can taste it first."

Duan Hong gently drank the soup in the spoon, and after entering his mouth, Duan Hong only felt that he was holding the entire sea in his mouth. He has been looking for top-notch cooking techniques, and for him, there are many techniques for simmering dashi in Chinese ingredients, but all of them are complex and time-consuming, and this is the first time he has seen such a simple dashi technique.

"Huh~ It seems that I've been here for too long, and I haven't seen a lot of new tricks outside." Seeing him like this, Li Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly, thinking that even if he left the palace, it was estimated that he would not be able to find a second copy of the bonito kelp soup.

Duan Hong's face was full of memorable expressions, while Li Xiaoyu started her shark fin cooking.

"Little one, please?"

"Huh?"

"What does such a stock look like when you put it together with a top-notch shark fin? I want to watch you make this dish again.... Duan Hong's tone was extremely flat, and at this moment, he was engrossed in watching Li Xiaoyu's every operation.

"Hmph, then you just watch it, and I didn't say I wouldn't let you watch it, it's a joke, don't take it seriously, if you're serious, you'll lose." Li Xiaoyu smiled as he began to process the shark fin. Looking at the shark fin in his hand, this thing is really superb, and the shark fin fin needle soaked by the master chef of the imperial dining room is transparent, slender like a needle, like a work of art. Li Xiaoyu also used shark fin for the first time, and there were not so many shark fins for her in her previous life, so she directly began to simmer her fins in boiling soup. And the old man over there also began to simmer his wings, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and there was a feeling of pity for each other.

In the kitchen, they all saw the operation between the two of them, Duan Hong's skills were sophisticated, and his experience was no less than Li Xiaoyu's, and Li Xiaoyu was full of patience, with an extraordinary temperament and an incredible sense of beauty. And Li Xiaoyu has complete tools, when simmering the fins, there is a light bamboo net, the shark fin is pressed, the soup enters it from the bamboo net, and the flavor is even, which is convenient and trouble-free, and this idea alone is much stronger than his own four chopsticks.

"Why didn't I think of that!" The old man slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but twist his head to Li Xiaoyu's side again, Li Xiaoyu advocated exchanges and references between chefs in his previous life, which must be different from the chefs of this dynasty, a little unique skill, and never teach others.

"I have another bamboo net, so I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."

"This...."Duan Hong's old face was a little unbearable, and he nodded very embarrassedly.

The bamboo net of simmering shark fin pressed against shark fin is handed down by Chinese chefs for many years, and Chaoshan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine will use this thin bamboo net for simmering shark fin.

While the old and the young were discussing the cuisine, outside the Imperial Garden, Shen Daoquan and Shen Zhong were also sitting side by side.

"Your second brother came to me yesterday!" Shen Daoquan said quietly.

"Hmm... My father and second brother are not in good health, and now the weather has not warmed up, he came to you... I don't know why? Shen Zhongshun mentioned that King Kang was not in good health, although he also knew that his father would not pass on the throne to the weak second brother, but he didn't hear his father mention the second brother, he felt faintly uneasy, because Shen Chuan was too good.

Hearing Shen Zhong mention that King Kang was not in good health, Shen Daoquan couldn't help frowning, how could he not hear Shen Zhong's voice after being the emperor for so many years, "Your second brother recommended you to be the master of the East Palace!" ”

"What?" Shen Zhong could barely believe his ears.

"When he came yesterday, he told me a lot of things, and I am indeed old, and it is time for me to have a successor."

"Father Emperor Spring and Autumn is in full bloom, why do you say this?"

"Don't slap me on the back, I used to be able to play with a fifty-pound saber, but now I have a twenty-pound spear and my arms hurt after a long time, people, it's not okay to be old." Shen Daoquan's face was full of vicissitudes, and the tone of his words was a little weak.

"Father...."For the first time, Shen Zhong felt that the person in front of him was old, at this time he was no longer a king who was alone in the world, but just an ordinary father at this time.

"Zhong'er, there is one more thing I want to tell you for my father, tomorrow in the court, I will let Li Xiaoyu be your crown princess, as for Feng Jin'er, if you want to marry her, I won't stop you, but the position of this crown princess, Li Xiaoyu is settled!" Shen Daoquan's tone was quite tough, and he didn't give Shen Zhong the slightest room to maneuver.

Shen Zhong looked at his father with a wrinkled face, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, and he couldn't bear to refuse, but when he thought of Feng Jin'er, he couldn't help but feel upset, in the morning, Feng Liangbi also told him not to let down Feng Jin'er, and now Shen Daoquan asked Li Xiaoyu to be the crown princess for him, and his heart is now mixed.

"Father, why do you have to let Li Xiaoyu be the crown princess! What the hell is good about her? Do you think so highly of her? ”

"Hmph, if you want to marry the Feng family, I'm not allowed, you can marry that Feng Jin'er as a side concubine."

Seeing Shen Daoquan so resolute, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what kind of family is the Feng family, how could he be willing to let his daughter make him a side room, if he became the emperor, maybe Feng Liangbi would still think about it, but if he was a prince, such a stable person as Feng Liangbi would not necessarily let Feng Jin'er marry him.

"Li Xiaoyu knows the roots, his father died for the country, our Shen family owes them the favor of the Li family!"

"Uh...."There is ruthlessness and righteousness above the court, Shen Zhong doesn't think that Shen Daoquan will be so affectionate and righteous.

"Your second brother didn't tell you, did he?"

"Say what? Father, my second brother and I ....."

"Well, I understand, this picture was drawn by your second brother and Li Xiaoyu, you can understand it by looking at it." Shen Daoquan glanced at Shen Zhong with a map, and Shen Zhong was also stunned.
