"This is foie gras?" Liang Shuo's eyes lit up and he asked in amazement.

"Yes." Su Miao replied with a smile.

"This tastes good, little girl, you really have some craftsmanship, to say that Ah Wei doesn't like to hear it, your craftsmanship is better than his!" Liang Shuo said with a smile while looking at the aftertaste with his eyes.

Aftertaste didn't admit or deny it, quietly sipping the green plum wine, without saying a word, his calm expression without refuting made Liang Shuo a little surprised.

Su Miao also didn't admit or deny it, just laughed.

Liang Shuo felt more and more confused, he knew that Aftertaste valued his craftsmanship very much, in the past, if anyone said that his craftsmanship was not good, he would be angry, and if anyone said that he was better than him, he would come to the door to try it, but now Aftertaste heard Liang Shuo say that Su Miao's craftsmanship was stronger than him, not only did he not refute unconvinced, but he didn't even have the slightest unconvinced expression, which made Liang Shuo very surprised, and couldn't help but look at Su Miao again.

At this moment, a maid came in with a small copper pot, and she didn't dare to look up, and said to Su Miao respectfully:

"Girl, the spicy fish has already started according to the girl's instructions."

Su Miao responded, stood up, brought it over, and put it on the table.

Aftertaste's eyes lit up, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Spicy fish?" ”

"Hmm." Su Miao smiled slightly, put the small copper pot in the center of the dining table, lifted the lid, a thick spicy smell hit the nose, the bright red peppers were spread in the pot, with tempting red oil, and the emerald green coriander was scalded by the oily hot soup, exuding a very fresh fragrance.

Spicy fish, made from grass carp with few spines. After slaughtering and cleaning, the meat is neatly removed and cut into thin, uniform fillets. Add spices, shallots, ginger juice and pepper to the fillet. Hang the dry starch and mix well and marinate.

When cooking, choose rapeseed oil, burn the rapeseed oil until it is 60% hot, put in the soybean paste and fry it over low heat for two minutes, then fry the garlic and ginger rice until fragrant, pour in the appropriate amount of fresh soup, add salt, soy sauce and spices to boil, and then put in bean sprouts, celery and garlic sprouts. Blanch on low heat for two minutes, then remove and put into the bottom of the copper pot. Put the fish head and bones in the previous soup pot and cook them over low heat, and then put them in the bottom of the pot as well. Finally, the marinated fillets are cooked over low heat for two minutes. Pour the soup and meat into the top of the copper pot.

Put red oil in the net pot, pour in the dried red pepper and Sichuan pepper and fry over low heat for three minutes when it is hot, pour it into the copper pot after it is out of the pot, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and coriander.

There is something special about this spicy fish soup. Until the lid is lifted on the table. The bright red oil has been bubbling like boiling seawater, surging in the small copper pot until the lid has been lifted for a long time, and this boiling sensation like a huge wave has subsided with the gradually fading sizzling sound.

"This dish is so festive!" Liang Shuo looked at the bright and bright chili red in the pot and exclaimed.

It's no wonder that he is so amazed, chili peppers have not been carried forward in Yueliang for a long time, and people's cognition and use of chili peppers are only auxiliary spices for eating raw or stir-frying. Hardly anyone thinks of chili pepper as a major adjunct, or even as an important ingredient. Su Miao uses a lot of chili peppers in the spicy fish, which are blanched in piping hot canola oil. The thick spicy smell can make people's hearts uplifted, and even every nerve in the body is invigorating, and the rich and tempting intoxicating taste is filled in the sense of smell, and the whole person has already been captured by this strong fresh and spicy taste, and there is an urge to eat immediately, and people will fall deeply into this enchanted impulse, and can no longer extricate themselves.

With the mentality of trying, Liang Shuo picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of snow-white fish meat in his mouth, which is an indescribable smoothness, and I don't know whether the meat itself is fresh and tender, or because it has been modified with starch, the meat of the fish is very smooth and tender, and the taste that seems to melt on the tongue is unforgettable, smooth and soft but does not lose the tenacity of the meat itself, and with the spicy and salty freshness that has been soaked into the fish, it is a refreshing and refreshing taste experience.

There is a faint paste in the spicy fragrance, the paste is not a derogatory term, this is a very special slightly pasty taste, it is a pepper that only belongs to the hot vegetable oil, the two have a new strong taste produced by the warm collision and fusion, it is this taste that sublimates the feeling of fresh and spicy fragrance to the extreme, if there is no special taste of the whole dish, it will appear slightly bland, as if something is missing, But when this slightly spicy mushy taste is transmitted from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue to cover all the senses, the taster will suddenly realize, yes, it is this taste, it is this taste, it is this taste, it is the unforgettable taste that makes people feel full of anticipation, soaked every cell in the body, no matter what kind of dark weather around, no matter what kind of solemn atmosphere around, no matter how depressed and unnatural the mood is, when this tempting spicy falls into the tip of the tongue, it seems that the dark clouds are gradually dissipating and the sky is opened. There is a bright sun shining down, warm, soft, free, brilliant.

The whole room seemed to light up all at once.

"The Magic Kitchen." Liang Shuo pinched his chopsticks, stared at the bright and fragrant spicy fish in the small copper pot, and muttered to himself.

Su Miao glanced at him and didn't hear clearly.

The aftertaste was heard clearly, he didn't say a word, and picked up a few chopsticks in a row to make spicy fish, and ate it slowly.

"This fish soup is so delicious, I feel like my mood is suddenly refreshing!" Liang Shuo still said to himself, paused, looked at the aftertaste, and saw that he was eating in silence for a moment, and said with a smile, "Haven't you always eaten dishes with strong flavors?" ”

"She cooks just the right amount of food." Aftertaste replied lightly.

Liang Shuo smiled, stretched out his chopsticks to the small copper pot, and also ate a few bites in a row, his eyes flashed, and he raised his face and smiled at Su Miao:

"Girl, with your skills, why don't you just enter the palace and be the imperial chef for me?"

When Su Miao heard this, she smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Will the emperor be the judge of the final of the King of Chef Competition?" ”

"Of course, I'm the chief judge." Liang Shuo likes to talk to her so calmly and quietly, and is usually used to being feared and flattered. He was surprised to meet this kind of person who could talk to him well, and he was also happy to cherish this opportunity, after all, he was still in a good mood. Peaceful and free conversation with a person helps his physical health.

"Does the emperor think I will win?" Su Miao smiled and continued to ask.

Liang Shuo seemed to understand her thoughts, pursed her mouth, and said with a smile: "You girl, I won't let you go through the back door, the King Chef Contest speaks by skill!" ”

Even Liang Dehai was a little surprised, this was just a few dishes for a short meal, and the girl in front of him had already completed the triple jump in the emperor's mouth. From "Miss Su" to "Girl" to "Girl", he has followed the emperor day and night for so many years, and he has never seen anyone the emperor like so quickly. What's more, at the beginning, the emperor heard about Miss Su, but he didn't like her at all, and at first the emperor always thought that Miss Su was a girl who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix.

Su Miao didn't care that Liang Shuo said that she walked through the back door, and asked with a smile: "Then the emperor said that who will win between me and Xiaoweiwei?" ”

Liang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and looked at the aftertaste in surprise. Surprised, he asked, "The third young master wants to participate in the King Chef Competition?" ”

"Yes." Aftertaste was not angry because Su Miao said that he wanted to compete. His expression was faint, and he replied softly.

Liang Shuo stared at him for a while, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything, thought about it, and asked with a smile: "Why did you suddenly have this idea again?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered it, and it's okay anyway." Aftertaste replied lightly.

Liang Shuo fell silent again. He first looked at the aftertaste that didn't say a word, and then looked at Su Miao, who was sitting on the side smiling and not speaking. After a while, he suddenly smiled at Su Miao's face and asked:

"Girl, you are going to marry Ah Wei, as his daughter-in-law, do you want him to enter the court in the future and make contributions to the government and rely on his ability to earn you a life?"

Su Miao was stunned.

Aftertaste looked at her with a flat face.

Liang Shuo also looked at her with a smile.

Su Miao always had the feeling that the emperor was digging a pit and pushing her to jump in.

Blinking her eyes twice, she replied with a smile:

"I basically don't interfere with his personal choices, he does whatever he likes."

The expression of the aftertaste was slightly relaxed, and a warm smile appeared in the eyes of looking at her.

"Nonsense, which woman doesn't want her husband to have a career and become a climate, and in the future, she will be crowned a wife and a son, and her husband and wife will be honored." Liang Shuo said solemnly and strongly condemned her hypocrisy.

Su Miao was sincere, she looked at Liang Shuo, blinked her eyes twice, and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, Xiaowei is already very promising, don't hide it from the emperor, half of the business in my store depends on him, because of him, my Su Ji Pin Xian Lou can be so prosperous in Fengzhou."

Without waiting for Liang Shuo to speak, Aftertaste first asked in a skeptical tone:

"You're serious?"

"Of course, he tops ten by himself, and having him in me saves time, effort and money." Su Miao smiled honestly.

Liang Shuo looked at the aftertaste that became a little smug because of Su Miao's words with a green face, thinking that this kid was simply hopeless, he didn't think that Su Miao's words just now were praising people, this girl was obviously treating their family Ah Wei as a free laborer. What makes him even more dissatisfied is that this girl's brain seems to have a bit of a problem, originally, how can a woman not want her husband to establish meritorious achievements but want her husband to revolve around the pot all day long:

"I ask you, you answer seriously, don't lie."

"Okay, the emperor asks." Su Miao was stunned and readily agreed.

"A prince and a cook let you choose, who will you choose?" Liang Shuo asked seriously.

Su Miao blinked her eyes twice, and replied seriously: "I choose Xiaoweiwei." ”

The corners of the aftertaste of the lips are hooked as if smiling but not smiling.

Liang Dehai on the side is full of black lines, what kind of strange development is this?

Liang Shuo: "......"

"I ask you again, you tell the truth, if you don't tell the truth, you will be a bully."

Su Miao really wanted to ask, "You are not a roundworm in my stomach, how do you know if what I am saying is true", but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back and replied with a serious face:

"Okay."

"I hope Ah Wei will become an official in the court, what do you think about this matter?" Liang Shuo looked at her and asked, he was a wise and shrewd person, from the first glance he could see that Su Miao had a lot of weight in the heart of the aftertaste, the aftertaste was a stubborn and resolute person who did not eat hard and soft, and the things he decided were difficult to change, so Liang Shuo wanted to find another breakthrough, and this breakthrough was Su Miao.

Liang Shuo is a smart and cautious person, he never underestimates the power of women, there is no woman who does not want her husband to get ahead and be rich and glorious, if this man really cares about this woman, he will definitely take her inner appeal to heart, even if he can't do it all, he will work hard in the direction she wants, this is the power of women.

Su Miao was stunned because of Liang Shuo's words, glanced at the aftertaste, saw that he didn't say a word, and seemed to want to hear his answer, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"What I think is that if he likes it, if he is willing to enter the court as an official, I will cheer for him, and if he is willing to continue to follow me to open a restaurant, I will continue to use him as a partner, that's it."

Aftertaste held his cheek with one hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me?" She asked him, confused.

"No, I just think you're particularly charming today." He looked at her with a hint of laziness, and said with a smile.

Su Miao was very shy, her small face was a light crimson, she lowered her eyes shyly, pursed her lips and smiled.

Liang Shuo: "......" His teeth were about to fall, and he thought that this meal was quite comfortable just now, but now he felt that the little thing he had just eaten began to pan upwards, which was a little uncomfortable.

The corners of Liang Dehai's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he got goosebumps.

Liang Shuo left after eating a meal in Xueyizhuang, and sent him out of the gate after the aftertaste, Liang Shuo patted him on the shoulder and said to him before leaving:

"Don't take what I said to you to heart, you are no longer a child, you should also plan for your future, don't think too much about your mother's side, there is an uncle, you are about to start a family, don't be childish."

I didn't say good or bad in the aftertaste, but I just gave a salute respectfully and said lightly:

"Congratulations to uncle."

Liang Shuo looked at his lack of oil and salt, a little annoyed, sighed, shook his head, and boarded the carriage.

Aftertaste stood in front of the gate, and watched the shadow of the carriage disappear into the verdant mountain road before turning and walking back.

On the way back, Liang Shuo has been leaning on the soft pillow to close his eyes and recuperate, Liang Dehai quietly put a piece of ambergris into the incense burner, and sat quietly on the side, looking at his nose and nose, like air.

I don't know how long it took, Liang Shuo, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly closed his eyes and spoke, breaking the silence that seemed to be condensed:

"Liang Dehai!"

"The minions are here!" Liang Dehai held his breath and responded.

"What do you think of that girl?" Liang Shuo tapped the handrail with his fingers and asked in a casual voice.

Liang Dehai couldn't guess what he meant, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he paused, and said with a smile:

"Second Miss Su has a lively temperament, delicate appearance, generous manners, outstanding cooking skills, and is a good girl."

Liang Shuo snorted from his nose, still closing his eyes and not saying a word.

This soft snort made Liang Dehai break out in a cold sweat, quietly observed Liang Shuo's face, and asked tentatively and softly:

"What does the emperor think?"

Liang Shuo didn't speak at first, but after a while, he snorted heavily and smiled slowly:

"You're a smart girl, but it's a pity that you don't like it." (To be continued.) )
