Xiao Zhuyu smashed her mouth, only to feel that her mouth was full of the fragrance of lemon.

The taste of the coarse tea drunk by the next person is very bland, and there is a slight bitterness, but after eating a piece of sour and indescribable lemon before, I actually felt a trace of sweetness in my mouth.

Xiao Zhuyu became interested in this lemon.

Seeing that she was fine now, but her expression was very solemn, and the servants and cooks around her knelt on the ground.

"Please don't remember the villain, young lady, spare us this time." The servant woman who handed the lemon to Xiao Zhuyu before was very frightened, and beads of sweat the size of beans covered her forehead.

She finally stood out from the crowd of servant women and got an errand in the kitchen, but because she wanted to please the young lady, she overturned.

Xiao Zhuyu was startled and hurriedly dodged: "You get up quickly, it's okay, I'm fine." ”

Hearing Xiao Zhuyu's words that didn't seem to be a fake at all, the servant quietly raised her head and glanced at Xiao Zhuyu's face, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be like this, all of you get up, everybody get up, I don't mean to blame you." Xiao Zhuyu was a little crying and laughing, she was just thinking about how to make this thing into the dish, but she didn't expect these people to ask for guilt.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion hurriedly came, grabbed a servant woman and asked, "Where are the lemons that you purchased this morning?" Hurry up, Madame is going to smoke the room. ”

The servant's face changed suddenly: "What, it's not an ingredient, but an incense used to smoke the room?" ”

"That's right," the housekeeper doesn't know why, this is a good thing, and now many ladies and ladies in the capital have begun to smoke lemon incense on their dresses, and the price of lemons has risen wildly.

Thinking of Madame's instructions, the housekeeper instructed: "Madame keep five or six there, and don't forget to send the rest to the young lady." ”

The servant's face was a little dull: "It turns out that this is not something to eat?" ”

The housekeeper couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect that the little guy who purchased it didn't know it, because the lemon looked like a fruit, so it went directly to the kitchen, and he just learned that the lemon that was originally used for smoking was transported to the kitchen.

"Hurry up, don't delay Madame's business." The butler said as he walked, looking around to find the chef.

At this time, he saw Xiao Zhuyu.

Xiao Zhuyu was still frowning, holding a lemon that had been cut in her hand, and carefully touched it with her fingers.

"Young lady, you ......"

"I thought of it!" Xiao Zhuyu shouted excitedly, her eyes were shining, and her little face was full of excitement, "You can use this lemon to make fish, it's called - lemon, lemon, fish!" ”

The housekeeper didn't know what to say all of a sudden? Lemonfish? Is the young lady confused, not everything can be eaten.

The housekeeper just wanted to persuade the young lady, but he saw the young lady muttering to herself: "How much should I put in the appropriate amount?" How many times do you try? ”

The butler wanted to step forward, but Xiao Zhuyu was completely immersed in his own thoughts and waved his hand casually.

Well, he should not delay things here, hurry up and send the lemons that Madame wanted, as for the young lady, let her make trouble, anyway, Madame said that the rest of the lemons will be given to the young lady, and whether the young lady is used for food or something else has nothing to do with him.

The housekeeper hurried away, thus missing the fresh scent coming from the kitchen afterwards.

The chef's eyes were straight, and he couldn't help but secretly pity Xiao Zhuyu when he didn't cherish the ingredients at all, and poured lemon juice on the whole jade finger fish.

This is a jade finger fish, in the entire capital, there are a number of jade finger fish that can be caught every year, and the young lady actually used a whole one in order to experiment with her so-called lemon fish!

The chef's heart was dripping blood, and if this matter was known to people outside, it would inevitably be talked about.

However, compared to the young lady's cooking with lemons, it is not enough to spoil the jade finger fish.

The chef looked around again, and quietly assigned his little apprentice: "Go, don't let those people chew their tongues outside the stove, and the master's affairs can be watched casually?" ”

The little apprentice got the order, and walked out of the house with a command, and after a while, the outside of the stove room was quiet.

The chef nodded with satisfaction, then nodded and asked Xiao Zhuyu: "Young lady, now we are experimenting with new dishes, why don't we use less fish?" This fish is really expensive, and our share is not much. ”

The chef really wanted to dispel Xiao Zhuyu's idea of trying the dish, but he knew that it was impossible to think about it with his toes, not to mention that this dish was made for the young master to eat, even if it was reported to his wife, it would not have any effect.

The chef had no choice but to rack his brains to minimize the loss.

"What, this fish has a share?" Xiao Zhuyu exclaimed, completely unaware of the preciousness of the jade finger fish.

The jade finger fish is indeed delicious, but it is not too much beyond other fish, and she thinks that this is the better kind of ordinary fish.

Generally, there is a share, but it is directly rewarded by the royal family!

Xiao Zhuyu remembered that in Zuo Xiang's mansion, there would be meals rewarded by the palace during the New Year's holidays, which only the old lady and Zuo Xiang could eat, and even her mother-in-law, that is, Xiao Qianyue and Xiao Yunyan's mother, could not eat the share of the reward from the palace.

Xiao Zhuyu didn't dare to let go of it all of a sudden, and her little face was full of entanglement.

If this is not done carelessly, will the palace blame it?

The palace has never rewarded the Zuo Xiangfu with ingredients, and this has never been said......

Xiao Zhuyu was dumbfounded, and when the chef saw her face, he came to his senses: the co-author didn't know the preciousness of this jade finger fish at all!

Seeing that Xiao Zhuyu didn't dare to let go and try, the chef cheered her on the side: "Young lady, you continue, if you don't continue, this fish will be ruined!" ”

Xiao Zhuyu nodded solemnly, and the movements in her hands became more cautious.

She had tasted this lemon before and knew that it was very relieving. The spicy taste in my mouth before couldn't dissipate, and after tasting the lemon, there was no more left - this Xianggong will definitely like it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuyu clenched her pink hand into a fist, rolled up her sleeves and planned to do a big job.

The belly of the fish is stuffed with sauerkraut, peanuts, bean sprouts, star anise, and a variety of powdered or spicy or sweet and sour seasonings.

Spread the lemon juice evenly on the fish body, steam it for a moment first, let the seasoning flavor penetrate deep into the fish, and tighten the excess water on the fish, so that the fish meat is firm and chewy.

Then put it in the pot and cook for a while, until the fish is fragrant, which is half the battle.

When the chef lifted the lid of the pot as if he were on the verge of a great enemy, a different aroma came out, and the sour taste made people want to swallow their saliva as soon as the sour taste passed.

Considering that Xianggong's body is weak, he may not be able to eat sour and spicy, Xiao Zhuyu doesn't use too much lemon juice, just a little taste.

She scooped a spoonful of soup with a jade spoon, put it to her mouth to cool it, and then closed her eyes and savored it.

The chef looked at it with a blank eye, and when Xiao Zhuyu opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to ask, "How does it taste?" ”

Qingzhu took a vigilant step forward, blocking the chef's gradually fiery gaze.

Behind him, Xiao Zhuyu's voice was full of admiration: "Delicious! Rare delicacy! ”

The chef scratched his heart and wanted to know what kind of delicious way to make the young lady so admired.
