Chapter 87—The Horse's Cooking Skills (2)
Xu Chen knew how miserable Prince Li Heng was.
It's so miserable that you can cook for yourself, isn't that miserable enough?
In fact, it is inevitable that Li Heng has gradually developed this kind of cowardly surname over the years. If you can still have ideals and ambitions when you are young, and take your father as an example, but after being suppressed for so many years and worrying for so many years, you will directly be wrong, maybe you are too tired after these years.
So you can understand the Tang Prince's love for food, which is a kind of sustenance and an escape.
It's always good for people to have something they like to do.
Xu Chen, who was ashamed of his words, said that he wanted to show Li Heng his cooking skills, but he didn't know that Li Heng had been immersed in silver food for many years, and ordinary things were really difficult to get into the eyes of the law, but Li Heng was very interested in appreciating Xu Chen's cooking skills.
"Jingzhong, take the pony to the kitchen." Li Heng sat there and said to the eunuch.
However, Xu Chen boasted about Haikou, it was not easy to refuse, why not just cook a meal, what is so difficult about this, it is really not blowing, as a good man in the twenty-first century, it is really difficult for him to make a dish, not to mention that as a modern person, a casual stir-fry is something that Li Heng has never eaten, but it is just a matter of materials.
Xu Chen followed the eunuch named "Jingzhong" to the big kitchen of the East Palace, but the more he thought about this name on the way, the more familiar he felt, and he looked extremely ugly, with black skin, a thin body, and sunken eyes in his forties, like a ghost.
Thinking that this person was often seen in Li Heng's room, he was Li Heng's personal eunuch, and he suddenly realized that this ugly eunuch was Li Fuguo, who wanted to become the "second Gaolishi".
But now it's obviously called Li Jingzhong......
Li Jingzhong led Xu Chen into the big kitchen of the East Palace, which was big enough to make Xu Chen stunned, there were nearly 100 people walking back and forth in it, and Xu Chen was surprised, and then thought about it, there are thousands of people to feed in the East Palace, so this kitchen is extraordinarily large, and now it is naturally crowded with people.
The two of them walked in the busy crowd, but no one looked at the two of them more, they were busy with their own things, the little maids who served the food were waiting in line at the door, and dozens of stoves in the house were used together, Xu Chen was already sweating profusely as soon as he came in.
It was not easy to find the professional office dedicated to cooking for the prince, but the stove was also connected to the outside, and there were too many people cooking around, all of them were as hot as dogs, drenched, and sweat dripped down their cheeks into the pot.
Good guys, that's enough to taste.
"You go out first." Although Xu Chen doesn't have a good impression of this future powerful annihilator, he can't let him wait here, it will be easy to heat him to death, and it will be a big deal when no one serves him a plate.
Li Jingzhong was already too hot to wipe his sweat, and when he heard Xu Chen's order, he said "The slave is waiting outside the door" as if he had been amnestied, and ran away with a smoke.
Xu Chen walked to the desk and looked at the dishes on the table, this place is said to be a special office, that is, it is a little bigger than others, and there are three pots in it, which are probably used to steam things, stir-fry in the Tang Dynasty This thing has not yet been popularized, and it is estimated that Li Heng can make him happy to scrambled an egg to eat.
Xu Chen picked up a pot and looked at it, it was obvious that it could not be compared with the iron pot with exquisite workmanship in modern society, and then put it down and tested it one by one.
The cooks who were cooking around paid attention to Xu Chenlai, seeing that this person was not dressed like a chef, and this person was still moving this and that in front of the imperial chef Guo Boss at the moment, everyone was a little unhappy when they looked at it.
"Who are you, a newcomer, Gonggong Li introduced you? Come out on, this isn't the place for you! A fat man about thirty years old scolded Xu Chen.
Obviously, I saw this person coming in with Gonggong Li just now, and I thought that this was a new chef and wanted to be awe-inspired. In the chef's profession, whether ancient or modern, new entrants always have to suffer, this is the rule, for example, this big fat man is not hot, I want Xu Chen to stare at the pot and go out to cool down.
There was too much noise in the kitchen, and the fat man shouted vigorously, but Xu Chen listened to it, and estimated that the other party regarded himself as a newcomer, so he smiled at the fat man.
"Oh, you're busy, you're busy." The heat was almost dead, and Xu Chen was reluctant to deal with him, so he began to tidy up the dishes on the table.
The temper of the chefs in the palace is generally bigger, one is to let the stove roast, and the other is the sense of glory of the imperial kitchen itself, it is more difficult to become an imperial chef, everyone is from the chores to work slowly, the rule of the line is that the master scolds the new apprentice to death, and the new one is not easy to mix.
This fat man is an imperial chef, and his reputation is still very great, he used to be the imperial cook of His Majesty Li San, and later followed Li Heng to the East Palace. This fat imperial chef has superb cooking skills, and he is definitely one of the best in this capital, and his temper is also very big.
The East Palace is actually some of the best characters, but although this fat imperial chef is so good at cooking and how famous he is in the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not eat the dishes he makes, and his good cooking skills can only be made for the concubines.
Looking at the materials on the table, Xu Chen was still thinking about what kind of dish to cook, this Li Heng is a special food expert, and it is generally difficult to get into his eyes, since he promised him to cook, he should treat it well.
Prepare to make a sweet and sour fish, braised pork.
The fat imperial chef saw that Xu Chen ignored him, and the weather was upset and irritable, so he was about to get angry and shouted: "Hey, you don't know this rule!" The fat chef shouted.
Xu Chen was hot, he was really in no mood to deal with him, and fiddled with the kitchenware by himself, the imperial chef was deflated again, and his face felt that he couldn't hang it, and all the cooks cast curious glances, and now he felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he walked straight over, pointed at Xu Chen's nose and scolded: "Is this the place where you are staying!" ”
At this hysteria, all the chefs looked at Xu Chen with a gloating look, and said that this kid was going to suffer.
Xu Chen turned his head to look at the fat man who was scolding loudly, and he couldn't look angry anymore, and his stomach was bulging and panting.
In fact, Xu Chen would have already revealed his identity, but this fat man is also nosy, and gave Xu Chen a chance to pretend to be forced.
"Well, I'm here to cook for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Chen said lightly.
As soon as the fat imperial chef heard this, he became angry, what are you, I haven't cooked for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for decades since I came to the East Palace, so you're a newcomer? What are you capable of?
The other cooks were also a little surprised when they heard this, this person looked like he could cook for the prince at a young age, how superb was that cooking?
