Zhao Mingsheng, who was standing at the door, happened to hear the conversation between Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue, and knew that Yunyan was now going to the palace to do something for the emperor, and he was really uneasy.

Yun Yan's identity is the main vein of the Yun family, and the main vein of the Yun family fled to the Haoyue Kingdom after what happened in the Qiang Kingdom, although he also did not know what happened to the Yun family in the Qiang Kingdom at the beginning, but from the intelligence point of view, the royal family of the Qiang Kingdom seems to be more afraid of the Yun family.

If the emperor knew Yunyan's identity, Yunyan would be in danger.

Zhao Mingsheng really couldn't let Yunyan go, he turned around and caught up with Yunyan and their carriage as fast as possible, fortunately, in addition to Mu Mo, Yun Yan also followed a small servant, seeing that the costume should be a small guy in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, it should be Mu Mo who was afraid that Yunyan was unfamiliar and inconvenient in the palace so he gave such a small guy to her.

In this way, Zhao Mingsheng was relieved.

He first followed for a while, and then saw that the carriage stopped, it seemed that Yunyan wanted to buy something, so Mu Mo and the little guy followed, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Zhao Mingsheng saw the opportunity, and quietly dragged the little guy to the side of the dark alley, and then knocked the little guy unconscious, took off his clothes and put them on again, and pretended to be the little guy and followed Mu Mo and Yunyan.

When Yunyan bought some spices and came back, he didn't notice that this little guy had changed.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Mu Mo handed Yunyan to the palace people who came to answer him, and watched Yunyan take the little guy in.

Yunyan is a person who has been to the palace of Haoyue Kingdom, so Yunyan is not surprised at all by the prosperity of the palace of the Qiang Kingdom, but feels that the palace is really a style and extremely luxurious.

Zhao Mingsheng followed behind Yunyan, glanced at Yunyan from time to time, and saw that Yunyan's mood didn't seem to change, and he became more and more worried, this stupid girl, do you still think she is in the palace of Haoyue Country now? This is the palace of the Qiang Kingdom, not to mention what kind of temperament the people in this palace are, let's just say that the rules in this palace are also very different from those in Haoyue Kingdom.

If it is in Yunyan Haoyue Kingdom, how can it be said that Zhao Mingsheng or Sun Yu still has a way to help, but if it is in the Qiang Kingdom, even if it is Mumo, I am afraid that there is no ability to keep Yunyan, especially if Yunyan's identity is exposed, or if he is too showy and is targeted by someone, it will become a big trouble.

Zhao Mingsheng thought like this, and his heart became more and more worried.

Along the way, Yunyan just carefully remembered the way she came, and by the way, she kept repeating in her mind the snacks that the emperor wanted her to make, without noticing that the little guy next to her had become Zhao Mingsheng, and even less noticing the worried look in Zhao Mingsheng's eyes.

After following the palace people into the imperial dining room, Yunyan thanked the palace people, and according to Mu Mo's instructions, he put a heavy purse in the hands of the palace people.

The palace people immediately smiled: "If Miss has any other orders, I can have someone call me, and I will wait in the conservatory next to the imperial dining room, just waiting for Miss to prepare those snacks and present them to the saint." ”

Yunyan chuckled: "It's hard work, Yunyan must try his best to speed up, so that the saint can eat this snack earlier." ”

The palace people were very satisfied with Yunyan's humble appearance, nodded and turned to leave.

When Yunyan turned around and wanted to greet the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, he found that the imperial chefs who were originally performing their duties had already formed a faction, and all the men were looking at Yunyan behind the leading imperial chef.

"You are the woman who came to make snacks for the emperor recommended by the Marquis Mu?" The swaggering head of the Imperial Kitchen tilted his head and stared at the clouds.

Yunyan was slightly stunned: "Exactly." ”

"Woman, what good dishes can you make?" For a moment, laughter filled the entire imperial kitchen.

Yunyan's brows furrowed slightly, and she said that she always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of these imperial chefs, it turned out that she looked down on her as a woman, and also, most of the cooks in this world are men, just because some women have a strong yin qi and will destroy the taste of the ingredients.

Yunyan knew that these imperial chefs were all selected by thousands of people, and they must have some skills, but she was definitely unwilling to be looked down upon by these people like this.

"If a woman can't make a good dish, a man must make a good dish? Why don't we compare with each other? She didn't say much, and the best way to break their traditional thinking was to prove their ideas wrong with strength.

"Heh, I can't help myself." The head of the imperial kitchen sneered, he has been in this palace for more than ten years, and he can achieve this position by virtue of his control of the emperor's taste and superb cooking skills, and these imperial chefs under him, each of them is carefully selected by him, even if he is inferior to him in the control of the emperor's taste, but he is definitely on par with him in terms of skills.

And the woman in front of her, her tone is not small, but she looks really thin, and when she cooks, can she turn the spoon or turn the pot when she cooks?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yunyan couldn't do anything: "You say, what do you want to compare?" Originally, he just wanted to send out his cooks, anyway, any one of them could teach this girl a lesson, but he thought that many newcomers in the imperial kitchen had not seen his skills, so he was somewhat unconvinced, and this happened to be an opportunity to let those little rabbit cubs see their skills, so the imperial kitchen leader took the initiative to accept the challenge.

Yunyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let's just try the snacks you want to eat today." ”

Yunyan also has a thought, this chef can achieve this position, must be accurate control of the emperor's taste, if so, then as long as the snacks made by Yunyan can be affirmed by this chef, it will definitely make the emperor happy, and if he can win the emperor's appreciation, Yunyan will be able to smoothly enter the aristocratic circle of the Qiang State.

"You have to think clearly, what the saint wants to eat today is the authentic snacks of our Qiang country, if I haven't heard of it wrong, you are from Haoyue country, if you make authentic snacks of Haoyue country, I may not be able to compare with you, but now it is in the territory of Qiang country, if you want to compare this with me, you have to think clearly."

"Figured it out." Yunyan frowned, she didn't have much patience or time to fight with this imperial chef, and directly chose a clean stove.

The ingredients in this imperial kitchen are very fresh and complete, Yunyan selected some eggs and flour, and took some vegetables and meat as auxiliaries, first made a dim sum small noodles, and the sesame sauce specially prepared by Zuo Yunyan is really fresh and fragrant.

After eating the rich noodles, the fragrant puree neutralizes the heavy texture, and finally adds a glass of juice in a special proportion, and the sweet aroma of the fruit begins to flow in the mouth.

These can't be considered to be Yunyan's own ideas, because what the emperor asked for were these three dishes.

As an afternoon meal, this kind of dish can fill the regret of not having enough food at noon, and can also provide energy for the hard work in the afternoon, and it will not feel tired, which is naturally excellent.

When Yunyan made these three dishes, the head of the imperial kitchen was also finished.

The emperor was extremely fond of such a pairing as an afternoon meal, so he made it more than once, but no matter how he did it, he could only barely meet the emperor's taste.

I don't know why, the tahini sauce he makes is always not mellow enough, the puree he mixes is not sweet enough, and the noodles are not as chewy as the emperor requires, but even so, the emperor is always willing to eat a few bites every time it is served.

It is said that this kind of collocation was first deployed by the Yun family of the Qiang State at that time, but the Yun family has disappeared from the Qiang country, and the Yun family has not retained the practice of inventing snacks in their homes at all.

Putting the finished snacks together, Yunyan only glanced at it and knew it in her heart, it seems that this imperial chef can only master the essentials of six or seven points, although she also relied on the notes left by her mother to know the practice of these dishes, and she only comprehended nine out of nine, which is not perfect enough, but she was relieved to see what the imperial chef made.

Sure enough, seeing the snacks made by Yunyan, the eyes of the imperial chefs were straight.

"How is that possible!" It is this shape, you can see at once that the things made by Yunyan are authentic, in my memory, the small noodles made by the Yun family not only taste strong, but the sauce used to mix the noodles is also very special, and it will only be wrapped in an extremely uniform layer on the noodles, and the smell is also fragrant.

It's just that they haven't been able to get the hang of it, and the sauce they make is either too thin or too dry, and they can't wrap it evenly on the noodles, and even if they can make such a texture, they can't make such a fragrance.

"You ......" just glanced at it, the psychological defense line of the head of the imperial kitchen was broken, he glanced at Yunyan, barely stabilized himself, picked up the chopsticks and first ate a bite of the noodles, which was really strong and fragrant, and then ate a mouthful of puree pastry, fresh and soft, diluting the aroma of the noodles, replacing it with a freshness, and finally taking a sip of juice, washing away all the flavors in the mouth and leaving only a faint fragrance, it is really an extraordinary experience.

"I lost." Although he was a little unwilling, the head chef put down his chopsticks.

After a while, he said again: "Please also ask the girl to teach!" ”

Yunyan chuckled: "I don't dare to teach, it's just that I ate these things when I was young, and these flavors are still in my mind, and they have been improved several times to achieve the current taste, if you want to learn, you don't have to change much, just pay attention to some places." ”
