Chapter 070: A Hundred Birds Return to the Nest

In just a moment, Xiao Er came up with all the ingredients that Jian Ning needed.

In order to save time, the twelve quails needed to return to the nest have been stripped of their fur and their internal organs have been cleaned.

Jian Ning washed the quails and put them in a large bowl, added all the seasonings needed such as soy sauce and cooking wine, and set them aside to marinate.

Taking advantage of this time, Jian Ning quickly took the potatoes in the basket on the side, washed and peeled them. Ai Gaoyi had been paying attention to Jian Ning's movements, only to see her right hand moving rapidly, and everywhere she went, the potatoes had become filaments of uniform thickness and about an inch long.

After cutting the shredded potatoes, Jian Ning cut the shiitake mushrooms, magnolia slices, ham, etc. into one-inch-long filaments and soaked them with boiling water. The whole action is like a flowing cloud, and it is dazzling to watch, especially the simple knife work.

"Miss Jane is good at kung fu!" Ai Gaoyi clapped his hands and praised.

"Thank you for the praise of the Prime Minister, it's just that my father taught me well." Jian Ning replied faintly.

After dealing with these, the quail that was pickled just now is almost the same. Jian Ning put it in a pot of clean water, cook it on the heat, remove it and peel it, and wash it.

Prepare the frying pan, put the shredded potatoes in a colander and put them in the pan together, after a while, the shredded potatoes will turn golden brown, take them out, make them look like a bird's nest, and gently put them on a plate.

In order to make the bird's nest more image, Jian Ning made a layer of egg skin with egg whites and corn flour and other raw materials, and carved lace on the egg skin with a small carving knife, and gently spread it on the shredded potatoes.

Jian Ning had to admit that this was the most careful and stressful time she had ever cooked. Facing the prime minister of the dynasty, who can almost be absolutely sure of his own life and death, Jian Ning really does not dare to slack off, and strives for the best every step.

Quail eggs are boiled in advance and have been peeled, so Jian Ning can be used directly. Jian Ning directly put the quail eggs into the oil pan just now, fried them and took them out. Then put the quail into the oil pan, fry it until it is golden red, remove it and set it aside to control the oil.

The dish was almost finished at this time, Jian Ning took another small pot, poured clear soup into the pot, refined the shredded mushrooms, magnolia slices, and shredded ham prepared before, and began to stew the cooking wine over a slight heat. After about a certain amount of time, the corn flour diluted with water is introduced into a pot to thicken into juice and introduce it into the bird's nest.

The last step is to dry the quail eggs and quail yards that have just been placed on the side to control the oil.

A hundred birds returned to their nests and was served on the table in front of Ai Gaoyi. But in terms of appearance, the dish made by Jian Ning is completely comparable to the imperial meal in the palace.

Within two hours of the next, Jian Ning made three more meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes, plus a stew and a dessert.

When all the dishes are served, almost the entire table is filled. The table in the No. 1 private room was custom-made, much longer than the ordinary table, but even so, it was still filled. This is the most luxurious table dish that Jian Ning has ever made so far.

"Prime Minister, all the dishes have been prepared, please taste them!" Jian Ning said with a standard smile and a standard posture.

"This is the meal that Benxiang has been waiting for the longest, but it is the meal that Benxiang is most interested in." Ai Gaoyi took the chopsticks and said unhurriedly.

However, after waiting for more than two hours, it was already past the time for lunch. How could anyone like Ai Gaoyi dare to make him wait so long. When he orders, he must have served it as quickly as possible.

But here, all the dishes are done by Jian Ning alone, and the speed is naturally not comparable to the past.

Jian Ning didn't reply, just nodded slightly apologetically.

The first thing Ai Gaoyi tasted was the dish of a hundred birds returning to the nest. After he sandwiched a quail egg, he sandwiched a chopstick quail meat. Then he put down his chopsticks, and there was no other expression on his face.

"What, does it taste bad?" Jian Ning was a little skeptical. Although she didn't taste the dish, with her experience, Jian Ning knew that the taste of this dish should not be bad, and it was even better than what she usually cooked.

Ai Gaoyi has been silent, and this silence has made Liu Leshan's heart rise to his throat. Jian Ning is confident in her craft, and she is not as anxious as Liu Leshan, and some are just doubts. But Liu Leshan was different, he saw that Ai Gaoyi only ate two bites and put down his chopsticks, and his first reaction was that the taste of the dish was not good.

Just when the atmosphere was almost condensed, Ai Gaoyi finally spoke, and said with a big laugh: "It seems that these two hours are worth waiting!" ”

"I've been to a lot of places, and I've ordered this dish everywhere I go, but no one has been able to do it so deliciously. Oily but not greasy, crispy and refreshing. ”

"As far as this dish is concerned, Miss Jane's attainments have surpassed that of Chef Jane back then." Ai Gaoyi's eyes had a glint that Jian Ning couldn't understand.

"The Prime Minister is in love, but the taste made by the little girl just echoes the Prime Minister's appetite, how dare the little girl say that her cooking skills are higher than her father!" Jian Ning has always maintained a humble, polite and distant attitude.

Ai Gaoyi smiled and tasted the rest of the dishes, and all of them gave judgments. In any case, this time, Jian Ning's cooking was very successful, and Ai Gaoyi did not find an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

Almost an hour passed, and Ai Gaoyi was ready to leave.

After sending Ai Gaoyi away, Jian Ning asked Liu Leshan suspiciously: "Senior brother, did anyone really report Shiweiyuan?" Why didn't I find out what this prime minister was going to do after most of the day? ”

Jian Ning had been paying attention to Ai Gaoyi's every move just now, and from beginning to end, what he realized was simply to eat, without any other actions. Even if you ask, it's only related to cooking or eating the garden. There was not the slightest mention of yesterday's assassins or fugitives.

"My silly sister, he is the prime minister, and there are people under him, so why should he go out by himself. Besides, our food garden is not a palace, there are guards, if they want to find someone secretly, will there be a problem! Liu Leshan knocked on Jian Ning's head and said.

"Ahh Then why is Senior Brother still standing here so leisurely? Aren't you afraid that Zijin will be discovered? Jian Ning asked with wide eyes. Isn't his senior brother the most worried about Ruan Zijin being discovered, why isn't he in a hurry now.

"Hey, is there a girl named Zijin in our food garden? How do I only remember that there was a little maid named Green? Liu Leshan touched his head and said with a confused expression. However, in Jian Ning's opinion, his senior brother's expression at this time was so cheap!

"Senior Brother" Jian Ning's face directly slid down three black lines, and he called helplessly.

"Okay, you've been busy all day today, let's go back and rest for a while!" Liu Leshan said gently.
