--Early the next morning--

As soon as the sun rose, the big kitchen in the backyard was already busy.

In the eastern courtyard, Zhao Kai and the hundred chefs who came from Song Huizong were busy in the makeshift open-air kitchen in the courtyard.

"King Yun, you can teach the production method of that pot wrapped meat again."

"King Yun, why is this mango I made different from King Yun's."

"King Yun, how to make the fish fragrance."

"King Yun..."

"King Yun..."

Zhao Kai's leg was about to break, and he suddenly sighed, are these Nima really imperial chefs? Some of these simple dishes have to be handed over to them over and over again, whether they cook themselves or they cook.

However, Zhao Kai didn't know that these so-called imperial chefs were not because a dish was particularly delicious, one person was only responsible for cooking one dish, and the real cooking skills were even inferior to some folk chefs.

The sun was rising, and the servants and maids were getting up and ready to work.

But as soon as they opened the door, they were attracted by the smell of a thick fog, and for a while the sound of stomach protest and swallowing saliva resounded throughout the palace.

"It smells so good."

"The taste of golden chicken."

"And the taste of Dongpo meat."

"Roasted chicken, I smell roasted chicken."

"This smell seems to come from the middle courtyard."

"That's right, it's from the middle court."

The subordinates came to the middle courtyard unconsciously, and not only the servants and maids, but also the seven sisters, Roufu and Chu Ran were also seduced by the fragrance.

At this time, in the huge courtyard, there are more than 20 large tables, and the tables are full of all kinds of dishes, and the fragrance is exuded by these dishes.

Zhao Kai and the cooks, who were setting the dishes, noticed the servants and maids.

Roufu pulled Chu Ran, holding his saliva, and came to Zhao Kai's side, "Brother, what are you doing here?" So many dishes. ”

Zhao Kai smiled slightly, "You are all attracted by the fragrance, don't look at it, hurry up and sit down, the dishes will be cold for a while." ”

As soon as Zhao Kai's words came out, the servants and maids were stunned, and Roufu and Chu Ran were also stunned.

Seeing that they were still standing there, Zhao Kai hurriedly beckoned to them, "Hurry up, take a seat, ten people at a table, hurry up, don't look at it." ”

A servant girl couldn't believe it and said, "King Yun, can we really eat these?" ”

Zhao Kai nodded, "That's right, these are for you, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of family reunion, this family banquet should have been eaten at night, but I want to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, so I have to advance it." ”

"Family dinner?"

They are even more confused.

Zhao Kai smiled faintly, "Of course it's a family banquet, let's live in the same palace, naturally we are family, the palace is poor, and the money given to you is half of that of other palaces, but you are still in the palace and are diligent, just for this point, this family banquet should have your share." ”

At this time, the servants and maids were only moved, and some of the servants and maids were already in tears and couldn't cry.

They never dreamed that one day, Zhao Kai would treat them, who were lowly and humble in the eyes of others, as family.

Roufu gently pulled the corner of Zhao Kai's clothes and smiled.

Chu Ran looked at Zhao Kai with a confused and puzzled look, and was full of curiosity about Zhao Kai again, and subconsciously wanted to understand Zhao Kai as a person.

The seven sisters glanced at each other, their eyes filled with mist.

"Don't look at it, take a seat." Zhao Kai said and looked at the cooks again, "You have been busy all morning, and you are all hungry, so you can also take a seat." ”

Cooks, you look at me, I look at you, and they can't believe it, they didn't expect Zhao Kai to let them sit too, in the Northern Song Dynasty, no one wants to do anything, especially high-ranking officials and nobles.

Zhao Kai talked for a long time, and personally pulled a servant girl into the seat, and they all sat down, ten people at a table.

Zhao Kai, Roufu, Chu Ran, small bean sprouts, seven sisters at one table.

Zhao Kai got up and picked up the wine glass, and when the others saw it, they all quickly stood up.

"Everyone is hungry, I won't say much, just one sentence, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and, after the family banquet, everyone will have a day off, okay, start eating."

"Okay, let's go out."

"It's a holiday, it's a holiday."

They looked exactly like the students of later generations after hearing the summer vacation notice.

When it started, the middle courtyard was full of laughter, there was no class barrier, only the joy and indulgence that a family banquet should have.

Seventeen dishes per table, there are pot wrapped meat, fish-flavored shredded pork, golden chicken, baked chicken, Dongpo meat, shredded apples, three fresh dishes, etc., some are the chefs' best dishes, and some are taught by Zhao Kai to make them.

In addition to the eldest sister, the other six sisters have a brutal eating appearance with Zhao Kai.

Although Roufu and Chu Ran were also very hungry, they ate very gentlely, and the little bean sprouts were still dedicated and silently served Zhao Kai vegetables.

"It's delicious, oops, Ziyi, don't rob me of Dongpo meat."

"Ziyi, return my pot wrapped meat."

"Ziyi, you dare to grab the eldest sister's silk apple."

Roufu looked at Zhao Kai curiously, and suddenly said, "Brother, you have changed a lot. ”

Zhao Kai ate the last bite of the golden chicken and said, "Where has changed?" ”

Roufu didn't speak, and looked at Zhao Kai with a smile.

Zhao Kai was a little confused by Roufu's appearance, put down his chopsticks, saw that the others had almost eaten, and got up.

"Put down your chopsticks."

Hearing this, the others put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhao Kai.

"Chefs, go and take the mooncakes we made out of the ice cellar, how can you not eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Don't worry, King Yun, leave it to us."

Dozens of cooks left the scene and went to the ice cellar to get mooncakes.

"King Yun is so good, there are mooncakes to eat."

"King Yun, you're so good."

Not long after, each of the cooks came back with a large tray with a cold surface of white and flawless mooncakes.

"One piece per person, send it down."

The maidservants who received the moon cakes were very puzzled when they looked at the cool moon cakes.

"This is a mooncake? Why is it cool? Can you eat it? ”

"What a strange mooncake."

"Huh? It is delicious, slightly cool in the mouth, soft and smooth in taste, slightly elastic, and delicious. ”

"Well, it's really delicious, it's the first time I've eaten this kind of mooncake."

Zhao Kai took a bite of the moon cake in his hand, and sighed with satisfaction.

Snowy skin moon cake is a very popular moon cake in later generations.

It is a new Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake launched in 1989 by Hong Kong Taipan bread and pastry. The main reason why it is called "snowy skin mooncake" is that it violates the traditional way of making mooncakes. The outer skin is made of glutinous rice flour and flour.

The crust does not need to be baked and is frozen before eating. It is mainly transparent milky white skin, but also purple, green, red, yellow and other colors.
