Chapter 47 Super delicious spicy shrimp
The girl was shocked to find that Cheng's father-in-law was unusual today, which was really weird. If it was a change from the past, if the prince of Yan had no appetite and didn't eat, Cheng's father-in-law would definitely be the most worried person, and at this time he should be trying to figure out how to make his prince eat something, what's going on today? Not only did he not show the anxiety he used to have, but he was excited?
However, after all, the girl is a subordinate of the palace, and it is not something she can discuss casually. Father-in-law Cheng seems to be in a good mood today, but if he doesn't do a good job in the things he explained, he will definitely not give her any good end. Thinking of this, the girl immediately went to the kitchen to spread the word.
On Chu Xiaomeng's side, Chu Xiaomeng had just returned to the Yongqin Courtyard not long ago, and after changing his clothes, he began to wash his hands and make soup.
Because Father-in-law Cheng came a few times, Chu Xiaomeng had the opportunity to cook alone, that is to say, she could choose not to eat the food in the palace, and she could choose what she liked, and Father-in-law Cheng gave an order that as long as Chu Xiaomeng wanted it, she had to send it.
Chu Xiaomeng is not welcome, what kind of nutritious ingredients such as big crabs and fresh shrimps, and Chu Xiaomeng's extremely favorite ingredients are all sent over there. Chu Xiaomeng can make a big meal without wasting things, although it may take a long time, after all, she needs to determine what ingredients she needs today from the day before, and what ingredients she lacks, and in order to make the best dishes to the maximum, Chu Xiaomeng even has to be extremely accurate in time, so it takes a lot of time to make this meal.
But Chu Xiaomeng enjoyed this process extremely much, watching the original fresh ingredients become fragrant under her hands, this process can allow Chu Xiaomeng to figure it out, and she also has enough time to think about how to improve. It is very oral to use a few good girls who play with Chu Xiaomeng in Qinyuan, the dishes made by Chu Xiaomeng are always fragrant and mouth-watering, and Chu Xiaomeng always invites them to eat very generously.
Chu Xiaomeng changed into the dirty clothes, and put a pink suspender apron on her body that Danqing restructured, the slender waist made the apron a little more playful and cute, Chu Xiaomeng held the most sincere respect for the profession of chef, and asked Danqing to sew a chef's hat for her, so she really looked a little decent when she put it on, but she was ruthlessly complained by Danqing's girl.
I really haven't seen a woman wrap a hat around her head, Chu Xiaomeng only shook her head and said that she had never seen the world.
Danqing's female workers are excellent, the kind of fluffy princess dress that Chu Xiaomeng wants can be made, this dress turned out to be Chu Qianqian's, anyway, Chu Xiaomeng probably can't wear it in this palace, so she simply asked Danqing to change it to let her be an apron. Danqing was reluctant at first, and he couldn't stand Chu Xiaomeng's determination.
A long head of hair was fixed at will and thrown to the back, wearing a special chef's hat, a small white flower skirt with a pink apron on it, and the sleeves let Chu Xiaomeng pull it to the elbows, and the white and tender arms were exposed without any scruples, looking very capable.
When Cheng's father-in-law came, Chu Xiaomeng was cleaning the shrimp that were still alive one by one, and after removing the shrimp whiskers, Chu Xiaomeng took a pair of scissors to cut the shrimp line from the back of the shrimp along the shrimp line, pulled out the shrimp line, and then soaked the shrimp meat in the water, afraid of losing nutrients, Chu Xiaomeng quickly scooped it up.
Seeing Father-in-law Cheng, Chu Xiaomeng couldn't help but think of the embarrassing atmosphere of Fang Cai, and gradually remembered the appearance of Father-in-law Cheng, and couldn't help but think in her heart, Father-in-law Cheng successfully escaped from the side of Prince Yan?
"Father-in-law Cheng, you came early today, I haven't cooked this shrimp yet, it will take at least half an hour." Chu Xiaomeng's work on his hand did not stop, and said with a smile.
When Cheng Gonggong heard this, he asked, "What kind of dish did you cook today?" ”
Chu Xiaomeng pulled out the shrimp line before answering, "I made spicy shrimp today, now the weather is not so hot, and I am not afraid of getting hot when I eat it, and it is nutritious to eat at this time." ”
Cheng Gonggong listened to it, but he didn't know how Chu Xiaomeng's finished product was.
Chu Xiaomeng watched Grandpa Cheng rummage here and there as soon as he came in, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Grandpa Cheng, what are you looking at?" There's nothing to eat in this kitchen right now, so if you're too hungry, go eat first. ”
Cheng's father-in-law walked up and down, and took out all the leftover shrimp that Chu Xiaomeng was hiding and preparing for another supper at night.
"It's all done, Xiaomeng, our prince is waiting for you." Cheng's father-in-law was very excited, and he couldn't help the smile on his face. He just held back and didn't say anything because he wanted to surprise Chu Xiaomeng, but he didn't expect that in exchange for Chu Xiaomeng's bewildered look.
"What's wrong? Aren't that enough? Father-in-law Cheng asked suspiciously.
Chu Xiaomeng shook his head, where is it not enough, is it too sudden?
"Wait a minute! Father-in-law Cheng, are you sure that the prince wants to eat the dishes I cooked? Chu Xiaomeng didn't react at once, this was too sudden, she originally said that she wanted to cook for the wild goose prince and let him taste it, but wasn't she ready yet? Chu Xiaomeng, who was present, suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.
Father-in-law Cheng nodded excitedly, "Yes, I sent Mama Huang away, and the prince is waiting for you now." What you just said, half an hour, you only have half an hour, and in half an hour, I will serve food to our prince. ”
Looking at the excitement on Cheng's father-in-law's face, Chu Xiaomeng seemed to have been struck by lightning, not that she was not confident enough in her cooking skills, after all, she had no professional training, she was all thinking about it by herself, and it was reasonable to let the Qinyuan and the girls taste it and praise it, but Lord Yan is a person who has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, if Chu Xiaomeng makes any mistake, Chu Xiaomeng is super afraid of being hit.
Cheng Gonggong is clearly a pig teammate, isn't she ready yet? Do you understand if you don't fight an unprepared war?
Cheng's father-in-law is good, a sentence was passed down, and Guang Chu Xiaomeng went alone in a hurry.
"Xiaomeng, do you need to call someone to help you?" Cheng Gonggong proposed very kindly on the side.
Chu Xiaomeng shook her head, she was not at ease with others, it was better to insist that all the dishes she made went through her own hands.
Chu Xiaomeng pushed Cheng's father-in-law out, put water into the pot, and sped up to wash the rest of the shrimp, at this time the water in the pot was also boiling, Chu Xiaomeng poured all the shrimp into the pot and blanched it for later use.
I poured some oil into another pot, and after the oil was hot for a while, I added green onions, ginger, garlic and a bottle of homemade bean paste, and stir-fried it over high heat to bring out the aroma, and it didn't take long for the flavor to diffuse. At this time, I put dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, chapels, and cooking wine into it, and at the end, I added a little water, and Chu Xiaomeng never stopped turning the spoon in his hand, and the various ingredients in the pot were bubbling with oil, and the aroma was compelling. Chu Xiaomeng counted the time, the lid of the pot was lowered, and the aroma of the pot was locked inside.
At this time, Chu Xiaomeng scooped up all the shrimp in another pot, and poured the shrimp into it after waiting for it to roll away, and the spoon mixed the shrimp meat with the ingredients in the pot evenly, and the already bright red shrimp meat was even more tempting when stained with the ingredients.
Cheng's father-in-law has never eaten the spicy shrimp made by Chu Xiaomeng, and this time it also attracted its aroma, and he was shocked by Chu Xiaomeng's speed at first glance, but he didn't expect Chu Xiaomeng, who can usually get it for a few hours, to use such a fast speed to see that this pot can be out of the pot after it is hot.
Chu Xiaomeng's eyes never moved from the pot from beginning to end, and the familiar palm action in his hand did not stop, and finally saw Chu Xiaomeng put out the fire, found a beautiful plate, and put down the spicy shrimp.
Perhaps because of the chili peppers, the soup is very attractive when poured red on the shrimp meat, adding a bit of brightness. The shrimp was cut along the back, and the cracked shell and flesh rolled to both sides, exposing the fresh and tender soft meat to the air, which was mouth-watering.
"Wow! Little Mengmeng, you ...... It's amazing! It's so fragrant! Father-in-law Cheng sucked the saliva in his mouth, afraid that he would really fall off if he was not careful.
Cheng's father-in-law is also a person who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he has never seen any dishes from top chefs, and the most common seafood like this shrimp is even more common, but Chu Xiaomeng's approach is the first time he has seen it, at first he was worried that the fresh and tender seafood and chili peppers would not affect the taste, which seems to have added a lot of color!
After Chu Xiaomeng finished it, she went to wash her hands, and clipped a piece to try on Cheng's father-in-law first, she stared at the expression on Cheng's father-in-law's face nervously, afraid that she would miss a little bit, and she was afraid that Cheng's father-in-law would not be satisfied.
Seeing Cheng's father-in-law's ecstatic expression, Chu Xiaomeng felt a little more confident in his heart, but he still didn't dare to taste it himself.
"Little cute girl, you are really a treasure, our prince really picked up a treasure when he met you! That's a blessing! "Father-in-law Cheng didn't restrain himself at all and praised Chu Xiaomeng for doing a good job, but he praised Chu Xiaomeng, a thick-skinned person, who was embarrassed.
"Father-in-law Cheng, go and deliver the food, I have a dish, it's better to let the kitchen call a few more, so as not to make the prince hungry." Chu Xiaomeng was worried that if the dish was not delivered, it would affect the taste, and she was not hungry after being so busy herself.
Father-in-law Cheng shook his head and said, "Xiaomeng, our prince wants you to send it over in person, otherwise he won't believe it, and it won't be in vain when the time comes." ”
Chu Xiaomeng, who was pushed to the door by Cheng's father-in-law, had a shadow area in his heart that was no longer easy to find. Chu Xiaomeng was nervous at this time, and she didn't know how to propose this matter with a brain cramp before, so that she had nowhere to talk about it now.
