"What? Disobedient? Have you forgotten your wife? ”

As soon as Qian Shanduo's words came out, Zhao Ke's eyebrows suddenly turned blue, his teeth rattled, and his thin body trembled with anger.

Qian Shanduo laughed and said, "What? Angry? Hahahaha. Then you kind of cut me! ”

Ming Tian looked at this scene and realized that Qian Shanduo's bullying of Zhao Ke was afraid that it had risen to a moral issue.

Zhao Ke clenched his fists, this strength, if it weren't for the calluses on one hand, I am afraid that he would have pinched blood a long time ago.

"There is a lot of money, don't deceive people too much." After a long time, Zhao Ke held back this short sentence, but in this tone, there was more fear.

"Hmph."

The fat old face shook, and the dead fat man knocked the workbench a few times with a copper spoon, and the noisy person was extremely upset. "What about lying to you? Defy? Disobey Lao Tzu and hold it back! ”

"You ......"

Zhao Ke couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the kitchen knife and stepped forward, about to cut this bastard.

Qian Shanduo was also stunned when he saw this, it seemed that he didn't expect Zhao Ke to have the courage to really come up, and he was so frightened that he took three steps back.

Seeing this, Ming Tian stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, which stopped him.

"Calm down, don't forget why you've been here for thirty years."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ke seemed to recall something, pursed his lips, as if he was doing a psychological struggle, for a long time, his face finally softened, and he put down the kitchen knife in his hand: "I know, I'll go back to Huangtai, little brother, take care of yourself." ”

After speaking, he walked to Huangtai in a daze, but he looked quite old, but he seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and his expression was dull.

Seeing Zhao Ke leaving, Qian Shanduo returned to the appearance he had just shouted: "Hmph, waste." And you, boy, there are less than three teas left, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you can't hand over the food, you will have to cut it in half! ”

You dead fat man really don't have a long memory, if I hadn't stopped Zhao Ke, you would have been chopped into meat and fed to the dogs, and you would have dared to be so arrogant.

Ming Tian was a little interested in Zhao Ke, an old cook, and at the same time, he was extremely annoyed by this dead fat man named Qian Shanduo.

"Don't worry about this, you just don't waste my time here." Saying that, Ming Tian ignored him anymore and patiently arranged the plate.

Qian Shanduo watched Ming Tian put a handful of bean sprouts into the pot, and left with a disdainful sneer, which allowed Ming Tian to concentrate on cooking again.

Although the fishy smell of bean sprouts is very troublesome, there is a simple and crude way to get rid of it, and that is coarse salt!

A large amount of coarse sea salt was added to the water in the Mingtian pot, so much so that the water became saturated brine.

In ancient times, due to the salt making technology, the decoction salt method was mostly used, and due to the backward technology, some halogens would be left in the coarse salt, and these trace amounts of halogen were the key to removing the fishy smell of bean sprouts.

Although there are a lot of halogens in the kitchen, but directly use halogen to soak, first, it is a waste of time, and it is troublesome to cook it again after soaking, and secondly, the bean sprouts have a lot of moisture, and it will be very troublesome if the halogen tastes.

As long as you open it, take out the bean sprouts, quickly put them in cold water and drain the brine, the bean sprouts are finished, and the residual salt gives the bean sprouts a faint salty taste.

You must know that the combination of salty and sweet produces umami, which is also exactly what Mingtian means.

There were about 25 minutes left, and Ming Tian hurriedly began to arrange.

Because the bean sprouts are in the shape of strips, it will be difficult to shape the phoenix body if it is piled directly, so Mingtian chose chestnuts, and after beating the chestnuts into a pulp, he first piled a lump on the plate as the most bulging body of the phoenix, so that the shaping will be much simpler and faster.

Originally, the best choice should be sweet potato puree, but unfortunately, sweet potatoes are a food with the surname Fan, and it will not be introduced to China until hundreds of years later.

Plating, pay attention to the fact that the bean sprouts must be in the right direction when stacking the phoenix body, and if one of them is crooked, the overall beauty will be destroyed.

And this, just stumped Mingtian!

This is a dish for the emperor, not the kind of hotel, just put it on the table, it's almost on the line, if the beauty is destroyed, the emperor will complain!

There are still 10 minutes left, not to mention sprinkling sauce, Ming has just put on the phoenix body. As for the tail, wings, flying feathers, and the hardest head, I didn't start to get it!

It's definitely too late to go on like this!

"Little brother."

Just when Ming Tian was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Zhao Ke on the yellow platform behind him spoke.

He secretly prompted: "Don't use the index finger and thumb, then the other three fingers will get in the way, swing slowly, use the index finger and middle finger!" Hurry up, there's only time for a cup of tea. ”

The other chefs had already completed their tasks, handing in their dishes, and some of them were even sitting in the corners chatting and farting.

A reminder at this critical moment helped Mingtian a lot.

Zhaoke is good, he shouldn't be able to trick me.

Ming Tian thought so, and tried to arrange the plate in the way of Zhaoke.

Sure enough, although the index and middle fingers caught very few bean sprouts each time, the accuracy was improved by more than ten times!

is worthy of a master, a one-sentence prompt can bring such a big benefit!

Mingtian was overjoyed in his heart, and tried his best to speed up.

Last minute!

It is also the last bean sprout that symbolizes the phoenix's mouth to be inserted, and the presentation of this dish is completed.

One minute, more than enough to pour sauce!

Using the spoon as a tool, with the back of the spoon facing up, Ming Tian quickly and steadily poured the sauce that had been prepared long ago on the phoenix!

Zhao Ke behind him looked at the last scene of this dish and was stunned!

Not only Zhaoke, but a few passing chefs saw this dish take shape, swept away their previous contempt, and their feet were like lead, and they could no longer move half a step!

The light gold color represents the noble head of the phoenix!

Pomegranate juice drenches the body, and the red phoenix body is bright and moving!

The honey is drenched, and the gorgeous rose gold highlights the rebelliousness of the phoenix!

Ginger juice is poured with wings, and the yellow-green wings come to life.

Guan Yan flew feathers, and the pieces of feathers suddenly shone with divine brilliance.

Finally, the grape juice is used as the background color, and the plate is drizzled with a shallow layer, and the bean sprouts that are removed from the tail are used to represent the shooting stars all over the night!

The last drop of grape juice was put into the plate, and the gong of Xuanshan outside sounded just in time.

This dish is eaten for six, and the upgraded version of the Phoenix Crystal was completed at the last second!

At this moment, there are more than 20 chefs standing in front of the workbench, and in the face of this formed dish, where do they still have contempt for Mingtian?

This perfect plating makes this dish seem to be transformed into a real phoenix, rushing out of the porcelain plate and soaring above the nine heavens!

I'm [beep], so I'm so awesome? Am I so talented in plating?

Faced with this phoenix crystal made by himself, Ming Tian almost wanted to kiss himself!

I'm so [beep]!

"Xuan~Dish~"

With the shouting of the eunuchs, hundreds of palace maids entered the Shangshi Bureau, and carefully took away the delicacies of the masters one by one and sent them to the emperor!

When taking away Mingtian's phoenix crystal, even the palace maid was stunned for a moment.

However, she is used to seeing what tofu carved Buddha, and the palace maid who carves radish flowers is also well-informed, and she does not exclaim too much.

After all, they have to see hundreds of peerless treasures every day, and no matter how powerful they are, they won't be shocked.

And Ming Tian's attention is not to force these palace maids to costume, but to have a lot of money and food.

Although Qian Shanduo didn't come to see it when he was cooking by himself, Ming Tian still found out with his spare eyes that this dead fat man had been staring at this dish since the Phoenix Crystal was completed, and he seemed to have some strange thoughts.

Sure enough, when Mingtian's phoenix crystal was about to go out, the fat man moved, and he stopped the palace maid and seemed to say something.

"Little brother."

Ming Tian just wanted to go up to confirm, when Zhao Ke came up to talk.

I saw that the old chef was looking at him with great appreciation, and nodded slightly: "I don't know how that dish tastes, just the plating, I'm afraid it is enough to win the emperor's favor." That's amazing, little brother, although I have good skills, I can never be as creative as you. ”

"Yes. Thank you. ”

Well, although I plagiarized other people's dramas...... But whatever, life matters, and there are no copyright disputes in this era, even if there is copyright, I am now in the north and south! Judging from the era, it has become whether I am original or not.

Ming Tian was impressed by his divine logic and nodded again and again, praising himself for being awesome.

And Zhao Ke, I'm not talking about you, how can anyone boast of their good skills, be a little modest, I have a good temper and won't want to be crooked, if you say this to the dead fat man outside the door, you will have to be scolded again.

Ming Tian secretly sighed that this Zhao Ke was indeed a good person, but he lacked some common sense in communication, so it was no wonder that he would be hindered in the workplace.

However, Ming Tian's gaze was deflected, but inadvertently, he swept over a red rope jade Buddha on his wrist.

Mingtian has followed the boss for so many years, and the boss likes to collect some Buddhist things, and over time, Mingtian has also gained a lot of attainments in this area.

I saw that although this jade Buddha is small, at best it is only the size of two soybeans, but it is carved lifelike, and even the relics on the head are carved extremely exquisitely!

This thing, if it is placed in modern times, although it is very small, but if the value of the era and the value of religion are superimposed, it is worth at least more than 200 million.

But in this day and age, it's just a matter of three or four taels of silver, although it's not cheap, but it's still a small meaning for the imperial chef who earns eighty taels a year.

Zhao Ke also noticed Ming Tian's gaze, and raised his hand to Ming Tian with a smile: "Little brother also likes Jade Buddha?" ”

"Hmm." Ming Tian looked at this Jade Buddha, but he was a little itchy.

Not to mention the price, the artistic sense of this carving makes Mingtian have the urge to keep it for himself.

However, Mingtian's three views are still relatively positive, and he will not do such a thing as stealing openly and secretly, not to mention, Zhao Ke also helped himself at the critical moment.

"Can you sell me this?" Ming Tian asked slightly pleadingly.

Zhao Ke smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and covered the red rope jade Buddha, not afraid of Ming Tian robbing it, but cherishing it very much: "This is what my lady made for me, it's not valuable, but it's priceless to me." ”

It can be seen that Zhao Ke loves his wife very much, which also arouses Ming Tian's interest in the relationship between Zhao Ke and Qian Shanduo.

However, just now Qian Shanduo mentioned Zhao Ke's wife, and Zhao Ke almost lost control and killed someone.

I'm afraid there are some hidden secrets that are difficult to communicate.

Ming Tian thought that he would not be stupid enough to ask Zhao Ke such a question, so he narrowed his eyes and made an envious smile: "Then you must take good care of it!" ”

Next, it is time for the emperor to announce the best dish for today.

Ming Tian is confident, this phoenix crystal can definitely get the favor of the emperor, if he can get the honor of the best dish, it means that he has the emperor's taste, then the first step of the assassination operation can be regarded as a success.

Thinking like this, Ming Tian sat on the crockpot, slightly uneasy and waiting for the result.

Emperor Lao'er, you have to have a longer eye, it doesn't matter if you don't say that I am the best dish, if you dare to say that it is not delicious, Lao Tzu will have to dig out the eighteen generations of your ancestors and fry the whip corpse after you do!
