"But ......"

Everyone's attention was focused on Emperor Beichen's face, especially that Akshan, the smile he showed just now seemed to be frozen, and it was fixed on his face for a long time.

The emperor took the handkerchief handed over by the palace people, wiped his hands carefully, and said, "This ...... Well, Sha Xiayi, the taste is indeed good, but this method is not original, and I Beichen also has a similar practice, so ...... Akshan Imperial Chef, why don't you try my Beichen's dishes? ”

"Yes." Akshan glanced at the envoy of the Great Food Country, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he bowed his hand.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the palace attendant beside him, who hurriedly sent an order to Aunt Han, who was on standby at any time, and asked her to bring the first dish that had been prepared.

Aunt Han bowed, changed her hand and waved her hand outside the palace, and the food delivery officer of the imperial dining room brought the first dish up.

The first dish was served in silver and white, covered with a lid of the same color, and it was impossible to tell what was inside, except that when the dish servant passed in front of everyone, everyone sniffed.

"It smells so good!" There were shouts of admiration from the crowd.

This dish has not seen its shape, but it has already smelled its taste, although I don't know what kind of dish is the base there, but just the sweet aroma in the air, I know that this dish must not be ordinary, but whether it can finally defeat Sha Xiayi of the Great Food Country, we have to wait to open the lid to know.

Aunt Han of Shang Shan Si stepped forward step by step with the court, raised her sleeves, and took off the lid on the silver plate, and the fragrance that was still sweet just now turned into a mouth-watering fragrance in an instant, making all the adults swallow their saliva unconsciously.

"Beichen roast duck." Aunt Han pointed to the duck with a bright red color on the silver plate and introduced: "The white feather duck with the best seven-point fat and three-point meat is cooked in the hanging oven method, and the charcoal used is also the best silver frost fruit charcoal. ”

After Aunt Han finished speaking, she glanced at Akeshan, who was uncertain opposite, and gently hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Come on, give you adults a duck!" ”

After that, a warrior-like person on the left and right walked up with a sword, Gu Qi watched from behind, the more he looked at this person, the more familiar he felt, but he couldn't remember that he had seen this person there.

I saw that his eyes were as cold as ice, exuding a kind of momentum that no one should enter, he picked up the sword he was wearing, and his sharp eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Gu Qi.

With just one glance, Gu Qi felt that the whole person had been discovered, but that person didn't seem to have malicious intent, and he felt very familiar to her.

This man...... She remembered that he should be the grandson of General Yu, Yu Chaoyang.

Yu Chaoyang wiped the sword body with a clean rag, and unconcernedly pulled a few sword flowers towards the roast duck on the silver plate, and saw that the duck meat fell layer by layer like snowflakes, and fell back into the plate, each slice seemed to be calculated, and the thickness was uniform.

This technique is by no means worse than Akshan's technique of cutting the fish body just now, and it is even better, because to ensure the uniformity of each piece of duck meat, it is necessary not only to have familiar swordsmanship, but also to have moderate strength and analysis of the entire duck body, which is definitely a challenge for a person who learns martial arts.

Gu Qi, who was hiding behind, couldn't help but exclaim softly. Sure enough, it's the person I like, even if it's no one!

As if sensing Gu Qi's blazing gaze, Yu Chaoyang put away his sword and glanced in her direction expressionlessly.

"The duck has been sliced, please try it with Your Majesty and the Great Food Imperial Chef."

Aunt Han personally sent a piece of duck to His Majesty, and another one to Akshan, and said, "Lord Akshan, this roast duck is eaten in the same way as your grilled fish, but that small cake, we are like this." ”

Aunt Han pushed a stack of steamed cakes down in front of Akshan, and Akshan was surprised to find that each of the cakes on the plate was like thin wings, and he picked up one casually in disbelief, and when it shone by the candlelight, it was really clearly visible.

Akshan glanced at Aunt Han with an ugly face, and according to what she just said, he wrapped the good piece of duck meat into the cake along with the sauce and shredded green onions, and hesitantly put it in his mouth.

With just one bite, Akshan's face was full of disbelief, and he took another bite in disbelief, savoring the mellow taste of the roast duck, until the whole cake was finished, and he stopped.

"How's it going? Lord Akshan, are you satisfied with my Beichen roast duck? Aunt Han asked with a smile.

Akshan raised his sleeves proudly, wiped the duck fat on his mouth, looked at her unconvinced, and said, "Tell me, how did this duck do it?" It's not as simple as you just said. ”

Aunt Han covered her mouth and chuckled: "As long as Lord Akshan admits that we won, I will naturally inform you of the method of fifteen and ten." ”

"Say it quickly!" Akshan said impatiently in a thick voice.

Is this an admission in disguise that you have lost? Gu Qi speculated behind the screen. Seeing the appearance of the people in the Liang Hall secretly smiling, they knew that they must have won, but it was just due to the problem of diplomatic relations between the two countries, since Akshan didn't say it, even if they acquiesced.

Aunt Han glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she continued: "This roast duck seems simple, but it is the most complicated. The duck selected for the roast duck should be relatively fat as much as possible, in which the duck can not be disemboweled, only a small hole can be made in the duck, the internal organs are taken out, and then the duck belly is filled with boiling water, and then the small hole is tied and hung on the fire to roast. ”

"As I have just said about the stove of roast duck, the best silver frost fruit charcoal is used, because such a charcoal fire is smokeless, the bottom fire is vigorous, and the burning time is long. When roasting the duck, the position of the duck should be constantly changed, so that the duck is evenly heated, and the whole body can be roasted, only in this way can the roasted duck look full. Full, reddish-brown in color, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. ”

"And the small cake you just ate is also a must, not the kind of hard noodle pancake that you often eat in the big food country, but our chef rolls out the pancake with hot noodles, this kind of cake is light and tough, with the charred duck meat and the sweet dipping sauce, it is lined with the duck meat is fat but not greasy, and the meat is delicate."

"And do you know what is the biggest flaw in the grilled fish you make?" Aunt Han turned to Akshan and asked.

Akshan frowned, looked at her inexplicably, and said: "I don't think there is any defect, if there is, it is a cake, we people of the Great Food Country have indeed never eaten your kind of small cake." ”

"Otherwise, in addition to this, your grilled fish has one of the biggest fatal wounds."
