Fang Yu felt that he was in a trance again, and when he came to his senses, he found that "himself" was standing at the door of an official office, and the plaque of the official office read "Guanglu Temple".

"Guanglu Temple? Isn't that the agency responsible for the diet of the outer court in the Ming Dynasty? I hadn't been in Beijing a moment ago, so why did I get here all of a sudden? Fang Yu wondered in his heart, "Could it be that this illusion can still be fast-forwarded?" ”

Then a man came out of the official office, and said to "himself" with pride:

"Zhang Er, the inner court has a banquet, and you need a chef who is good at dim sum, Lord Sicheng has recommended you, you go to prepare quickly, enter the palace quickly, and there is no delay."

As he spoke, the man handed over a round waist plate about 10 centimeters wide, with a crown with a lotus side and a green ribbon in the hole on it.

There are two sides of the waist card, and the front is engraved with 18 characters in regular script, "Whoever meets the direct stay, hang this card, out of the imperial city four gates, do not use, cook". The back is engraved with two carp tails, one tail head upstream, one tail upward, two fish protruding like relief, one concave like cake mold,

"Myself" took the sign, did not speak, made a slight salute, and turned to leave.

But I heard the person behind me scolding in a low voice: "Hmph, it's really a piece of wood, and I don't even know how to take it out. ”

"Myself" was silent, turned back to the residence, went into the house and took the steamer that he had always carried with him, and walked towards the imperial city.

Walking on the road, Fang Yu felt that although "he" didn't say a word, he was inexplicably very excited in his heart.

Coming to the gate of the imperial city, the palace guards in armor stopped "himself" and checked his waist card. The fish-shaped pattern on the back of the waist card of "yourself" coincided with the one in the guard's hand, and the guard waved his hand to let "himself" enter the palace.

"Himself" seems to be no stranger to the palace, and the territory of Nuoda has turned around to a lively courtyard, and the person in charge of the courtyard is the grandfather Yao who he has seen before.

Father-in-law Yao was very happy to see "himself":

"Zhang Er, you came just in time. The emperor set up a family banquet, and the father-in-law of the palm print said that the emperor has talked about the story of the palace many times recently, and ordered me to make some old snacks and present them, and I immediately thought of you. ”

Father-in-law Yao arranged for someone to take "himself" to the Dim Sum Bureau of Shangshan Supervision to start work.

"Myself" made seven or eight snacks in a row when the boss was still the emperor of the prince at the banquet.

Finally, "myself" hesitated a little and began to make a steamed dumpling.

Fang Yu was surprised to find that the steamed dumplings made by Zhang Er's "own" were somewhat similar to the steamed dumplings made by himself to see off Lin Xiaoxiao, and the same pork filling was minced with ginger, seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil, and beaten with water to make the filling.

But the difference is that Zhang Er makes egg dumplings.

He put the spoon on the fire to heat, brush the inner wall of the spoon with a layer of oil, add a spoon of egg liquid in the spoon, turn the spoon handle with his hand, so that the egg liquid evenly spreads the spoon wall, put in the meat filling when the egg liquid is not completely solidified, and fold the egg skin in half, the unsolidified egg liquid will stick the egg skin.

One by one, the egg dumplings are ready, and then put them in the steamer to steam for half an hour and take them out, the color is golden and the aroma is overflowing. When the cage was opened and put on the plate, the little palace people who presented the meals kept swallowing.

After this basket of steamed dumplings was presented, after half an hour, a little palace maid came from outside, entered the kitchen and asked:

"You made that golden jade purse just now."

Zhang Er nodded.

The little palace maid came over and took out a golden hairpin and handed it to herself:

"Take it, this is the concubine Niangniang's reward for you. Niangniang said, your steamed dumplings are very good, and they are very similar to the craftsmanship of an old acquaintance back then. The mother loved it. ”

Fang Yu felt Zhang Ershi's joy, and excitedly took the golden hairpin, his two hands trembling slightly.

The little palace maid continued: "Niangniang asked you what your surname is, and where is it? ”

Zhang Er was silent for a long time, and still replied in a deep voice: "The villain is from Beijing, surnamed Cai, and everyone calls me Cai San." ”

"Oh, got it."

The little palace maid got the answer and turned to leave.

Zhang Er put the golden hairpin on his face, and cried again, sobbing indistinctly: "Yue'er... Yue'er..."

Before Fang Yu had time to complain about the sadistic court emotional drama at eight o'clock, he immediately fell into a trance, and then found that the Shang Shan Jian who he had put on was standing in front of Gonggong Yao.

"Lao Zhang, you are also an old man, why are you still so flustered?"

Father-in-law Yao looked very angry, pointed at Zhang Er's nose and scolded:

"The emperor's cultivation is the merit of the emperor, but we also have the duty of being courtiers. Now that the emperor is already weak, let you eat fast, you really take those things without oil and salt to the emperor to eat. You're an elm brain. ”

Father-in-law Yao walked back and forth a few times anxiously, and then stopped in front of Zhang Er:

"I don't care what method you use, anyway, tomorrow you have to make the emperor like your food, otherwise I will blame me for being unkind and expel you from Shangshan Prison."

Gonggong Yao walked away angrily.

Fang Yu stood in the courtyard with Zhang Er boredly for a while, then turned around and went into the kitchen.

The kitchen was full of all kinds of vegetables and vegetables, Zhang Er took a raw goose, started from the valley road, cleaned the internal organs, and then cleaned the goose inside and out with wine.

Then Zhang Er took wild vegetables and stuffed them into the belly of the goose and steamed them in a steamer. After the goose is cooked, take out the vegetables, soak them in wine, then pour sesame oil, mix them with seasonings and put them on the plate.

For several days after that, Zhang Er changed his method to make this "vegetarian dish", sometimes simmering potatoes in chicken soup to make "vegetarian crab roe", and sometimes "vegetarian steamed buns" made with meat filling hidden in bean sprouts. Steamed winter melon with mushroom soup to make a "stewed vegetarian recipe"

The most amazing thing for Yao's father-in-law was the "Suer Piece" made by Zhang Er.

Soak the stemmed mushrooms in clear soup, soak the soybean oil skin soft and shredded, shred the thousands of skins and add salt to make the filling and spread it on the back of the mushroom in an oblique shape, and then cover a winter flower. In this way, the array is made according to the law, and after steaming in the steamer, it is taken out and cooled into an "ear germ", and then it is slightly fried in the oil pan, removed and cooled, and finally sliced and plated.

The shape, color, quality, and taste of the "plain ear slices" produced in this way can reach the point of chaos, but if you taste it carefully, you can find that they are completely vegetarian.

But there was one time when it almost went wrong.

That time, Zhang Er made stuffed eggs.

This dish is a test of skill, you need to poke a small hole in the bottom of the eggshell with a needle, take out the yolk along the small hole, and take half of the egg white. Pour the beaten minced meat into it, then pour the egg whites back in, and shake it with your hands to shake the inside. Finally, seal the slight loopholes and steam them in a steamer.

I heard that the emperor liked it very much at first, and ate several in a row, but later inadvertently found that it was not egg yolk, but meat filling, and he was furious.

Fortunately, the father-in-law of the celebrant was talented, and immediately explained, "This is the emperor's successful cultivation and auspicious rainfall from the sky", which made the emperor turn his anger into joy.

Later, the emperor listened to the words of the Taoist priest and took a large amount of "elixir", and his appetite was worse than one day, and gradually Zhang Er was no longer busy.

However, Concubine Chang always ordered Zhang Er to make some snacks from his hometown from time to time.

Until one day came the news of the emperor's death, Chang Concubine never sent anyone to have a snack.

Later, Zhang Er inquired in many ways and learned that Chang Concubine had asked to guard the mausoleum.

Zhang Er also told the old man to leave the palace and opened a small restaurant at the foot of Yangcui Ridge, serving the food and drink of the people who guarded the mausoleum from time to time.

Many years later, Chang Concubine came out one day, passed by Zhang Er's shop, stared at Zhang Er for a long time, and then sighed and returned.

A few years later, Chang Concubine died of illness, and Zhang Er made a basket of steamed dumplings every day and offered them to Chang Concubine's grave until ......

Fang Yu's eyes were bright again, and after being dizzy, he found himself in the kitchen again, holding the steamer in both hands.

Meow the Walker: ...... If you die, you will die, but you didn't have time to catch up with zero.
