Chapter 534: Dinghu Shangsu

It's just that, of course, people won't tremble, and if they drop the dish on this occasion, it's a dead end. Therefore, these eunuchs who passed the food were eager to grow seven or eight hands to hold carefully, not to mention falling, and they didn't even dare to splash a drop of soup.

The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom put some in his small plate, first signaled to the little emperor, and then put it in his mouth, and after chewing a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This ...... This, this! Fresh and smooth, full of fragrance, it is the best in vegetarian dishes! Dare to ask this lifter, the name of this dish is ......"

The envoy tasted it, and then asked Jia Yunwei with excitement on his face, as if he had forgotten the little emperor. The little emperor was ready to lose face, but he didn't expect the envoy's reaction to be so violent, and it was clear that he had tasted a peerless delicacy, but in the eyes of the little emperor, there was really nothing special about that dish.

Jia Yunwei did not immediately answer the envoy's words, but glanced at the little emperor first. He is in front of the palace, and no one can open his mouth at will without the little emperor opening his mouth. Of course, the envoys of the Japanese State came from afar and sat on the upper seat, of course, they didn't have to worry so much, but Jia Yunwei was different, he was a serious civilian, so he naturally didn't dare to talk more at this time.

When the little emperor saw that Jia Yunwei was looking at him, he realized what he was waiting for, so he hurriedly nodded at him. With the approval of the little emperor, Jia Yunwei replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"It's Dinghu Shangsu."

"This is Dinghu Shangsu?"

This time, it was the little emperor who opened his mouth first.

He knew Dinghu Shangsu. This is a dish on the Manchu and Han banquets, but only during the state banquet will the Manchu and Han full banquets be made, and the little emperor will only ascend the throne once. I ate the full banquet of the Manchu and Han people.

When he ascended the throne, he was still very young, and he had no memory of the state banquet. It's just that I still have some impressions of the dish of Dinghu Shangsu, because Concubine Ruan once mentioned that although the ingredients used in this Dinghu Shangsu are the most common vegetables, it is precisely because of its extremely simple cooking techniques and materials that it is more difficult to make this dish well.

It seems to be a very ordinary dish, but it has extremely high standards of knife work, thickening, seasoning and cooking heat. Failure to achieve the ultimate in any of these points will not result in the best taste of the dish.

Jia Yunwei came out of the four words "Dinghu Shangsu", not only the little emperor. Even Concubine Ruan, who was sitting on a high seat, screamed in surprise.

For the little emperor, this dish was just a more impressive dish name in his childhood, but for Concubine Ruan, it was like thunder. There is the courage to dare to make dishes like Dinghu vegetarian on such an occasion as the kitchen hall. That's definitely a very strong confidence in all aspects of my level. Otherwise, once there is a slight mistake, the taste of the whole dish will be irreparable, and it will be a complete failure.

"Bring it up and let the mourners taste it."

The little emperor is still there, and he should have tasted this dish first, but now the envoys of the Japanese state have asked for his permission, so they have tasted it first. Concubine Ruan's behavior of wanting to taste the food without saying hello is really a bit of a loss of etiquette in front of the palace.

People who have never been a cook can't comprehend the impatient mood of Concubine Ruan now. So although Concubine Ruan was already very excited, the people around her still looked indifferent. Mama Lin saw that Concubine Ruan's actions were a little inappropriate. even deliberately coughed a few times, just to remind Concubine Ruan.

Hearing Mama Lin's cough, Concubine Ruan reacted. She hurriedly nodded at the little emperor and said embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family hasn't seen anyone cook this dish for a long time, and I want to try it."

The little emperor did not answer, but cast his gaze behind Concubine Ruan, looking around among the waiting servants. Seeing his actions, Concubine Ruan's heart tightened, she lowered her head and swept the corners of her eyes, and Mama Lin on the side immediately understood what she meant, and hurriedly stood to the side, perfectly blocking Ruoshui behind her.

After the little emperor looked around, he looked back at Concubine Ruan with some disappointment, and then he realized that he didn't seem to hear Concubine Ruan's question at all, but he was too embarrassed to ask again, so he could only twist his neck in embarrassment and say something casually.

"It's all according to the mother."

Concubine Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and the little eunuch brought the dish from the envoy of the Japanese State to Concubine Ruan. At this time, the little emperor lowered his head in a muttering voice, not knowing what he was thinking.

After hiding this time, Concubine Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked at the Dinghu vegetarian again, the enthusiasm in her eyes returned.

She didn't rush to pick up the vegetables, but first carefully observed.

Judging from the color of this dish, the color is bright, and the appearance of various vegetables has not lost its original appearance, indicating that the thickening technique is excellent, and it is a "second-rate thickener" used, and the sauce is extremely thin, which can not only infiltrate the soup into the dish, but also retain the original taste of the dish intact. Coupled with this knife work, the shredded vegetables are cut very evenly, not only looks very pleasing to the eye, but even the position at the end of the silk head is extremely cool, as if the heat is extremely uniform, indicating that this knife work not only looks neat, but its actual neatness is higher than it seems.

Just looking at it, Concubine Ruan was already very satisfied with this dish. She raised her hand and grabbed another chopstick and gently put it in her mouth. The refreshing flavor of the sauce spreads in the mouth immediately, and after a few careful chews, the various dishes are smooth, crispy, soft, or sweet, and the overall flavor is mixed together, as if you have tasted the most extreme delicacy in the world.

"This ...... This dish! Where did you learn how to cook! ”

Concubine Ruan only tasted it, and she was already surprised to close her mouth, she threw down her chopsticks, leaned forward with her whole body, and asked urgently.

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, the grass people have occasionally traveled, and have been to the Guangdong area, from the century-old shop there tasted this Lingnan-style dish, and felt it deeply, so I lingered there for a few months, and then I realized the true meaning."

"So, you actually realized it yourself? This! It's a top-notch vegetarian dish! Good craftsmanship! What a craft! ”

Concubine Ruan did not skimp on her praise at all, and her appreciation was overflowing. However, compared to the excited Concubine Ruan, Jia Yunwei's expression was very calm, he just stood there with his head down, and replied softly.

"The concubine has won the award."

Concubine Ruan's high praise attracted the attention of the little emperor, and he picked up his chopsticks and said to the little eunuch anxiously. (To be continued.) )
