Chapter 565: The Arrogant Imperial Chef
Aftertaste frowned impatiently and asked in a cold voice:
"What's the matter with you?"
"I ......" Xue Mingzhu became timid because of his coldness, she bit her lip and lowered her head, she could see that her fingers were trembling, as if she was suppressing sadness, she was silent for a while, her voice trembled, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei, do you really want to marry the girl of the Su family?" ”
"Hmm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Aftertaste frowned, her frightened fawn-like appearance disgusted him, he was not a ghost, what did she mean when she stood in front of him trembling, she was so afraid to stop him.
Although he was impatient, he thought it would be better to say it clearly about the fact that he was going to get married, and he knew very well what this woman was thinking...... He hated it being sent to his door, which would make his heart unshaken and ridiculous.
Xue Mingzhu didn't know what he thought, her heart had already poured into it, she was still ashamed when she was young, even if she secretly promised it, but she was embarrassed to say it, plus at that time he was experiencing an impossible crush, and she thought that her aunt doted on her and probably knew her thoughts, and would definitely help her arrange it.
But four years after he left Liangdu, he actually brought back a fiancée, like a thunderbolt from the sky, she was so shocked that she almost fainted. If she still had a little hope before, thinking that Su Miaohe and Huiwei's identities were very different, and this marriage could not be completed, and she had her aunt's support and her aunt as a support, she was more than enough to reminisce, but now her hope has been completely shattered. Because of a series of events that happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival, for some reason, my aunt's attitude towards my brother became cold, and even with her fell out of favor, and later she was stung in the face by a wasp because she went to the garden to pick flowers and make snacks to please her aunt. Because of this, she has become a waste chess player with her aunt, and she is having a hard time now.
The most important thing in a woman's life is marriage, she doesn't dare to ask for anything now, the only hope is that the people in her heart can pity her in the love of her childhood sweetheart in the past.
"Brother Wei, in fact, I, I have always had someone to admire, and that person is you!" She hung her head deeply, her cheeks were crimson, she bit her lip, and it took a long time for her to muster up the courage to say this sentence that had been hidden in her heart for many years, and then looked around sensitively, they were standing outside the secret door, and the bright lights in the hall did not affect them, and she was a little relieved.
Aftertaste stood in silence, what should he answer in this situation?
Somehow, he suddenly thought of Su Miao, who was in the small kitchen at the moment, Su Miao also had a little white face beside her, a stupid and conceited little white face, and now the sunset wants to be like blood, it is the time when people's hearts are most easily disturbed, if that little white face did not resist the temptation of the beautiful sunset, he said something to Su Miao that should not be said......
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly felt that he didn't need to worry at all, because when the little white face said to Su Miao arrogantly, "I like you", Su Miao would laugh after being stunned, and replied, "I also like my own", and then the little white face promised that he would feel blind. Don't be frustrated, he often has such self-doubts, and now he is used to it.
The corners of the aftertaste of the lips hooked up a satisfied smile, which seemed a little weird to Xue Mingzhu.
Her heart was drumming, although she was laughing, but this weird smile didn't look like it was because of her confession of excitement and joy, but now she couldn't care so much, she didn't have a chance, this moment may be her only chance, she tried her best to suppress the chaotic heartbeat, stepped forward, pulled the sleeve of the aftertaste, trembled her voice, and said boldly:
"Brother Wei, I am sincere to you, I know that you already have Miss Su in your heart, but it doesn't matter, I don't care, as long as I can be by your side, I am willing to be a concubine and a maid and an outer room that will never see the light! As long as you are willing to let me stay with you, I am willing to do anything! Brother Ah Wei, you accept me, even if I am a maid who sprinkles and sweeps, as long as I can stay by your side, I am willing! ”
Aftertaste: "......"
No wonder his taciturn mother would open her mouth when he was a child, warning him that women are the most terrible thing in the world and must be careful.
If it's the kind of wild girl who is illiterate and unrestrained by nature, forget it, Xue Mingzhu, who was born in a famous family and received a beautiful education since childhood, actually said such shameless words, what do the female officials who teach her women and virtues do, and how did Xue Guifei teach her niece?
This palace is going to be finished!
"Brother Ah Wei......" Xue Mingzhu gritted her teeth, blushed, hung her head and waited for a long time, he still didn't give her an answer, her heart beat like a drum, she looked up shyly, glanced at him nervously, and stumbled out.
Aftertaste came back to his senses, glanced at her, and said lightly:
"I didn't hear what you just said, so let's stop here."
With that, he bypassed her and walked into the main hall with an indifferent expression.
Xue Mingzhu was like being hit by five thunders, her body shook, two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes, she bit her lip hard, at that moment her heart seemed to fall from a high place and shattered, shame and embarrassment surged towards her mercilessly, she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly covered her face with her hands, and fled like the wind.
The aftertaste returned to the bottom of the pillar where he had been standing, and his face was not very good-looking.
"What did Xue Mingzhu tell you?" Hui Gan asked with a smile.
Aftertaste glanced at him, his face gloomy.
It was so terrible that he moved his steps without a trace, and distanced himself from him a little.
At this moment, Qian Dehai came out, shook off the dust, and shouted loudly:
"The emperor has arrived!"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the courtiers in the main hall immediately turned around, faced the high dragon chair in front of them, and knelt down in unison.
……
The sun shines like fire.
Su Miao has been squatting on the ground to watch the hard-won salmon, but after watching for a long time, the imperial chef of Kosi has never appeared, and her legs are numb, so she has to find a chair to sit down and start sharpening the kitchen knife. After the kitchen knife was sharpened, the imperial kitchen still didn't come, Su Miao was impatient, and asked Master Jiang with a dark face:
"What's going on? Didn't you say the competition? What about people? ”
Lord Jiang was more anxious than her, and after listening to the reply of the little eunuch who went to inquire about the news, his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a stiff tone:
"The Corsi delegation hasn't come yet, saying that the eldest prince is up late and is sorting it out, so let's wait a little longer."
The "we" he said was not them in Su Miao's understanding, the mission was late because the eldest prince got up late, and it was not them who were waiting, but those people in the hall in front of him.
"The sun is about to go down, the reason is that you are getting up late?" Su Miaopi said with a smile.
"It is said that he has been sailing at sea for too long, and the eldest prince's body is too tired." Master Jiang relayed the reason why even he didn't believe it.
Su Miao snorted and sneered: "This is completely unnoticed." ”
Master Jiang glanced at her with a look that condemned her for not telling the truth.
Su Miao pursed her lips, took out a booklet from her arms, and flipped through it nonchalantly.
"What is this?" Tong Ran asked.
"I asked Xiaoweiwei to help me get Kosi Chinese in seven days." Su Miao said triumphantly.
"What are you learning this for?"
"Who knows who the other party is, if he scolds me, but I can't understand what he says, wouldn't it be too much of a loss."
"That's it?" Tong Ran thought it would be a more profound reason.
"This is important." Su Miao said seriously.
"How many words have you learned?"
Su Miao glanced at him and read triumphantly:
"Sezan Hook Worker!"
"What's that?" Tong Ran asked inexplicably.
"You're a big fool." Su Miao replied with a smile.
Tong Ran glanced at her, shook the folding fan, and ignored her no more.
After waiting for another half hour, the cook of Corsi finally arrived, a brown-haired man with a sheep's wool beard, dressed in a straight up and down khaki robe, leather boots, and a round fur hat made of animal fur, followed by a young assistant, dressed like him, and looking a little earthy.
Master Jiang knew that this was the imperial chef of the Corsi Kingdom, so he greeted him politely and wanted to say hello, but the other party should not understand what they were saying, and there was no translator on their side.
Although they don't have much opportunity to talk to each other, the language barrier is still very inconvenient. Master Jiang was thinking about how to make the other party understand what he meant, and the assistant of the imperial chef spoke first, and what he said was Yue Liang's Chinese dialect:
"Master and I are representing Kosi to participate in the exhibition match, this is Master Hu Fei, the head chef of the Imperial Palace of Kosi, my name is Mei Jie, when I was young, I followed my father to open a restaurant specializing in Kosi cuisine in Yueliang Kingdom, and I can speak a little Yueliang Mandarin."
This is not a point, the assistant speaks very capably, which makes Su Miao very impressed, but it is his master, who is round and chubby, with his chin raised, and looks down on people. He swept his green eyes around everyone's faces and whispered at Major.
"Master asked, who is playing with him?" Major translated.
"It's me." Su Miao opened her mouth with a smile and replied.
Mei Jie was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the opponent of the game would be a woman, and just now he thought she was a palace maid who was doing chores in the palace.
He pointed at Su Miao and said to Hu Fei, "It's this young lady." ”
Hu Fei was also stunned, looked at Su Miao contemptuously, sneered from his nose, and began to snort in a mocking tone, Su Miao heard him say very clearly:
"Actually sent a woman to the competition, the country of dwarfs is the country of dwarves, and the competition of the state banquet can only let one girl come out to top!"
Although Su Miao has also received a lot of criticism in the past because of gender discrimination, there is still a difference between being said by locals and being said by foreigners. Su Miao was furious, but she still kept smiling, she spoke, and said lightly in fluent Kosi Chinese:
"For Your Excellency, my woman is enough."
Judging from the crash book, Corsi Chinese is not much different from the ancient Latin she learned before, although there are differences, but the commonly used vocabulary can still reach a level of almost understandability.
No one expected that Su Miao could actually speak Kosi Chinese, Hu Fei and Mei Jie were shocked, and Master Jiang, Tong Ran, and Aji were equally shocked, and they were shocked that it took her less than a day to learn Kosi Chinese in a seven-day crash book.
Since then, Su Miao has another amazing legend, it turns out that the lazy and willful girl Su Miao is actually a language genius who never forgets ten lines at a glance, even His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, who is the most talented in language, has been left far behind by her.
Hu Fei was very angry because of Su Miao's rudeness.
"Mr. Hu Fei, let's start quickly, if we don't start, the state banquet will be over." Su Miaopi said with a smile, and after speaking, he turned around and went into the small kitchen.
This woman was very unfriendly, Hu Fei felt it, so he was even more angry, the woman of the Dwarf Country actually dared to be rude to the imperial chef of his big country, and she was extremely arrogant!
Lord Jiang had a headache at Su Miao's rash provocation, but he couldn't control Su Miao, so he had to step forward with a smile on his face, and politely invite Hu Fei inside, the other party is a guest, and a careless accident may cause a war incident.
Hu Fei glared at Master Jiang fiercely, strode into the kitchen, and glared at Su Miao again.
Su Miao ignored him, stood in front of the stove, watched Hu Fei check the stove oven one by one, showing a contemptuous expression, it seemed that Yue Liangguo's cooking environment was not suitable for him, a chef, to cook big dishes, and he swaggered and complained to the apprentice:
"The country of the dwarfs is rudimentary, and the kitchen in the palace is not as useful as the kitchen at home."
Su Miao felt that he must be bragging.
A few little eunuchs laboriously carried in the wooden box containing the salmon and placed it in the ground.
Hu Fei immediately squatted down, moved quite quickly, and took off the most fat-rich and meaty part of the fish's abdomen and took it for himself.
At this time, even Master Jiang felt that he was a little shameless, the fish was caught by you, even if you let you pick the meat first, there is nothing to say, but you do this, grabbing the meat without saying a word, just like you directly said that we will not let you take it, who is this kind of petty family who looks down on people in the face?
Hu Fei took the finest meat from the salmon, then glanced at Su Miao with a proud expression, walked to the counter triumphantly, and began to cook.
Su Miao was speechless, this time she couldn't help it, and rolled her eyes vigorously, the world is so big, fools don't distinguish between races.
Major began to chop the shallots, celery, carrots, coriander, and lemon, mash them into juice with a little water, add sea salt, and marinate the salmon meat in the vegetable juice.
Hu Fei took out the pan he came with and said it was a pan, but this thing didn't look like a pan at all, just an iron flat-bottomed disc. He melts the butter on a disc, and when the butter is hot, he puts the marinated salmon meat on the disc and fries. Wait until both sides of the fish are browned, remove them and place them on a plate, then put them in a red-hot oven and grill them for a while.
Hu Fei took the beef bones and put the old hen into the container, put them in the oven until they turned yellow, then poured in water, boiled over high heat, changed to low heat to burn the juice, took out the bones, and filtered out the impurities. Add the wine and continue to cook, then pour in the butter and stir-fry the flour to thicken and mix thoroughly, simmer for a while, and pour it over the fried fish as a sauce. (To be continued.) )
