Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Ye Jinyu stood up "ho",

"Okay, let's be a dead horse doctor, there is no other way, the day after tomorrow is the spring banquet, you have to fight."

This is said to Cheng Yu, and it is also said to himself.

Ye Jinyu looked at the hour outside, it was not early, I was afraid that the person had already gone back to his bedroom,

Quicken your pace and walk towards the little garden,

Today Xu is in a hurry, his attention has been very concentrated, and he didn't find this place like in the past.

Ye Jinyu hurriedly pushed open the door of the garden,

Seeing a white figure swaying behind the bushes, my heart rejoiced,

"Oh my God, you're still here, thank goodness."

When the man heard the sound, he hurried over, and saw her sweating,

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive and well."

Ye Jinyu embarrassedly wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead,

The handsome face looked at her, and suddenly smiled, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth, and he knocked Ye Jinyu's head with the folding fan in his hand,

"Little girl, have you gone underground to catch mice? Look at how you draw yourself like a cat. ”

Ye Jinyu noticed that his hands were black and not slippery, and he didn't care about washing them.

"I just finished going through our imperial food room, and I haven't had time to wash it yet."

Li Sui seemed to have an understanding, and took another step forward,

"Didn't you find anything like that?"

mentioned Ye Jinyu's sadness, she rubbed her dirty hands,

"Well, Cheng Yu and I even turned over the utility room next to the imperial food room, and we didn't see a single coke slag, if there was no such thing, my pig's trotters...... Hi! ”

Li Sui thought about it, frowned slightly, and kept pinching his fingers,

Seeing this, Ye Jinyu sat down at the stone table and took a sip of tea by himself.

"How did you know I was going to come and pour me tea again?"

The man ignored her and continued to calculate, "Hey, are you telling my fortune?" Do you want to see how badly I'm going to lose? What do you think? Do you see the end? ”

Li Sui stopped and smiled at her, "With me here, I won't sit idly by and watch this matter." You should take care of your three imperial meals with peace of mind. Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first, you can touch it back yourself, I can't send you today. ”

Li Sui walked out of the small garden as he spoke, Ye Jinyu quickly got up and ran towards him, "Hey, hey, I still have something to ask you, don't leave yet." ”

The man didn't look back, and strode forward, as if he hadn't heard Ye Jinyu's shout.

What kind of person, this is.

Can you get along well, is this a friend, I'm afraid I'll beg him, isn't it? It's really not enough to pick on yourself at such a critical time! It's not enough friends!

In the future, I will never come to you again, huh!

What if you look like a fairy, I don't want to see your face again!

Ye Jinyu walked back to the imperial dining room in despair, turning around, and walking for a long time to find it, Cheng Yu was already standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for her, "Ye Jinyu, you are back." What do you think? Have you seen that prince? Is there any way he can help you? ”

Ye Jinyu sneered, "Before I could say it, he ran away, saying that there was something important." ”

Cheng Yu was also stunned, "How is this good?" "No one can do anything anymore, unless a pressure cooker comes from modern times, Ye Jinyu washed his hands, didn't even eat dinner, and climbed into bed to sleep.

******

The spring banquet day is coming as scheduled,

Just after the time of the child,

In the dark night, there were horse bells of "jingle bells", the sound of wooden carts of "rattling", and the crisp sound of horses' hooves of "clicking".

Two rows of lanterns swaying in the wind pierce the silence of the night sky,

A line of carriages and horses lined up and walked quietly towards the north gate of the palace in an orderly manner.

Next to each car, in addition to the groom who drove the car, there were two fathers-in-law following one on the left and one on the right, carefully greeting the carriage and horses, don't run out of the team, don't make loud noises.

The car was loaded with all the ingredients to be used in today's spring banquet, and truckloads of chickens, ducks, fish, melons, fruits and vegetables were all transported.

In recent years, the country and the people have been peaceful, the subjects have recuperated, the mountains and rivers have been purged, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the whole country has been prosperous and peaceful

It can be seen from the food on this team's car, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, picking from trees, planting in the fields, and delicious ingredients from all over the world.

And today's spring banquet, the emperor specially decreed, expanded the scale, all officials from the fourth grade or above, can bring a family member into the palace to participate, and then count the palace's courtyards, roughly calculated, this time in the palace held in the spring banquet has more than 200 people, the scene is huge, unprecedented.

The venue of the spring banquet is set up in the martial arts arena of the princes of the harem.

The fathers-in-law had already laid everything out there,

In order for the palace masters to be able to eat the imperial meals that have just come out of the pot, a separate place was set up behind the martial arts arena and a temporary pot stove was set up for 18 imperial chefs, because 18 dishes will be prepared at today's palace banquet.

The father-in-law moved all the ingredients on the car to the temporary "imperial dining room" in the martial arts arena, and at the end of the ugly time, all the palace maids of the imperial dining room gathered in the temporary "imperial dining room", and each person in charge of the spoon claimed his ingredients in an orderly manner.

Ye Jinyu was also in the team, her eyes scanning all the food, looking for her pig's trotters.

A chubby figure leapt in front of her, blocking her view.

Ye Jinyu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Song Sishan again.

Ye Jinyu ignored her, wanted to go around, and continued to find his own ingredients, "Ye Jinyu, little hoof, when you see me, do you dare not salute?" Song Sishan drank Ye Jinyu.

Ye Jinyu looked at Song Sishan helplessly, I won't go crazy with you today, and then I was blessed, "Ye Jinyu has seen Song Sishan." ”

Song Sishan asked knowingly, "What are you doing?" ”

Do you need to ask? Let's get the ingredients.

"Song Sishan doesn't need to take the ingredients?" Ye Jinyu asked coldly.

Song Sishan crossed his hands on his chest and glanced at Ye Jinyu contemptuously, "Of course you have to take it, otherwise you will win with something." ”

She stepped forward, "If you want to withdraw from the competition now, this chef can also give you a chance, as long as you admit that you lose, this chef will consider leaving you the title of six-rank master." ”

Ever since she knew that Ye Jinyu actually made crab roe tofu lacking crab roe, skillfully replaced crab roe with salted duck eggs, and the emperor also rewarded Ye Jinyu with a set of silver tableware for the queen, her heart has been up and down.

She was very worried about what unexpected tricks this little hoof would use in the game, originally the braised hoof couldn't be done in an hour, but on the day of the game, this little hoof did not have the slightest intention of retiring, which was really unsettling.

Be sure to probe her strength again, by the way......

Ye Jinyu's expression was serious, and his voice was still cold, "Song Sishan, it's this hour, you better go and get busy, don't worry about whether I will retire or not." If you spend this amount of effort on me, you might as well do your own three imperial dishes. ”

Song Sishan was stunned, her face couldn't bear it, she raised her eyes and looked around, everyone was busy carrying all kinds of ingredients, and no one had the time to listen to them arguing here.

"Ye Jinyu! This meal has given you a chance, you don't know how to advance or retreat. I don't believe you can make braised hooves in an hour."

"You just wait to be embarrassed in front of all the masters and officials above the fourth rank in this palace! The number of spring banquet dishes in the palace is eighteen, and if you are missing, I see how you will explain to the emperor at that time? ”

The more Song Sishan spoke, the more excited he became, "At that time, if you have damaged the royal face, I am afraid it will not be as simple as lowering your rank, and expelling you from the palace is already the lightest punishment for you." If you catch up with the emperor's displeasure again, it is not impossible to ask for your little head. ”

Although Ye Jinyu is not very confident in his heart, he really feels disgusted when he looks at Song Sishan's coercive face, no matter what, we are also people who have been in modern society, and we can't leak cowardice in our mouths before the game is underway,

"Whether I can do it or not, that's my business, don't worry about you Song Sishan, my little head is not something anyone can take away if they want to."

Ye Jinyu paused, he didn't want to delay any longer, and seeing that Song Sishan didn't leave, why didn't he create some psychological pressure on her, as if no one would,

"Song Sishan, why don't you want to think about how embarrassed you should be if you lose, in front of all the masters in the palace, in front of all the officials above the fourth grade? A dignified four-grade chef lost to a little girl who just came to the imperial dining room, I'm afraid your face won't have a place to put it at that time, right? Do you still have the face to mingle in the dining room? ”

Ye Jinyu saw that Song Sishan's expression changed slightly, and a sense of joy and relaxation arose in his heart.

"What's more, you said that your aunt was innocently wronged, is she also waiting for you to show her a brilliant appearance here? But you smeared her. Oh, I really don't know if the emperor will return her position as a nobleman, and it is not impossible that she will be left out in the cold from then on. ”

Song Sishan obviously understood Ye Jinyu's words of the fusion of ancient and modern words, "Ye Jinyu! Don't be arrogant too early, I will definitely win you in today's game, and I will ask the emperor to have your little head. ”

Ye Jinyu snorted coldly, "Okay, then let's compete and see who can win!" ”

Song Sishan brushed his sleeves away, "Little hoof, you just wait for death!" ”

Ye Jinyu saw that her fat face was distorted with anger, and her heart was hehehe, "Okay, Song Sishan, I promise to shake in front of you today, waiting for you to send me to death." You see that works, right? ”

In the face of Ye Jinyu's ridicule, Song Sishan became more and more unconfident, and he didn't look back, and walked quickly.

Ye Jinyu hurriedly looked for the ingredients he wanted, only to find that after a while, those good ingredients were selected by others, and the remaining vegetables were almost all dead branches and leaves.

And the pork doesn't have the parts you want, the part of the plum blossom meat of the pork is the best for fried crispy meat, fat and thin, if it is fried and charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it won't feel dry at all, and there will be a fluffy taste,

The plum blossom meat is no longer big and fat, so I can only pick and choose the barely visible one, and I can top it;

The duck is actually alive, the strong and fat have been picked away, and there are only four dry old cripples left, fortunately, it is to take duck blood, if this is to make a roast whole duck, it is estimated that this dish will smash the brand;

Pig's trotters, pig's trotters,

There are still eight or nine pig's trotters left in the basket, there are not a few front hooves, basically they are the hind hooves with less meat and more bones, and they are not very fat, and they are also covered with dots of unplucked hair.

You can't rely too much on the perfection of the ingredients, fortunately, the ancient ingredients are not polluted, and some are naturally mellow, which can also make up for the shortcomings of the ingredients that are not fresh and fat.

Ye Jinyu brought the ingredients back, the palace maids on the three stoves had already lit the fire, Ye Jinyu picked a big stove, left it for the braised hoof, and ordered the palace maid to clean the pot stove, handle the ducks, pluck the feathers, and the game would start in a quarter of an hour, Ye Jinyu looked at the flames on the stove in a daze, wishing that he could be like a flamethrower as far as he could see, rising a scorching fire.
