Chapter 684: Sinking Fish and Falling Geese
Maybe because of the reason she cried just now, her face is peachy, she sniffles from time to time, and there are a lot of tears on her face, she looks pitiful, she is really a pitiful beauty, if she doesn't say that she is a cook, she really can't see it.
Chef He's third dish was all yellow, although it looked dry, but it exuded an attractive fragrance, Lin Jinxiu took a closer look, it was made of dehydrated mushrooms and other vegetables with seasonings, and was placed in the shape of a fence and a crop field.
But the harvest seems to be underharvested.
Lin Jinxiu looked at his spring and summer, and then realized that the theme he did should be the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, if it is autumn, the corresponding is mourning, then the banker's poor harvest is also in line with the theme.
This He Chef can think about it, but looking at the appearance of that dish, Lin Jinxiu still feels that his presentation is better.
Zhou Yi and Huai Yanqing respectively put some dishes into their bowls, Zhou Yi tasted them, and nodded: "Lord Wang, what do you think?" β
Huai Yanqing still said the same thing: "It's not ...... done"
"Shut up." Zhou Yi interrupted him without saying a word, "If you say that again, you don't need to comment." β
Huai Yanqing pushed the plate in front of him forward, looked at Lin Jinxiu and said, "Your Majesty, you say, you say." β
Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "What are you in this dish?" I tasted it all the way, and it seemed that there were potatoes, mushrooms, bird's nests, and abalone? β
Lin Jinxiu's eyes widened, abalone? Where is the abalone? Why didn't she see anything?
She looked carefully again, and found that there seemed to be a lot of shredded things in the place where she pretended to be wilted, and she couldn't tell what it was, but if Zhou Yi said it was abalone, then maybe it was really this kind of thing.
"What the emperor said is very true." Seeing Lin Jinxiu trying to open his eyes wide to see the appearance of his dish, Chef He secretly felt a little happy in his heart.
"I've eaten it." Zhou Yi took the handkerchief on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth, "I really tasted the sadness you want to express in this dish." β
"There is a great drought in the world, there is no harvest, and the people are not able to make a living." Zhou Yi looked at the dish and began to say, "The displacement of the people, not having enough to eat and not being able to drink water, is the biggest sorrow in the world, isn't it." β
He Chef didn't expect Zhou Yi to analyze so many things, and he was a little stunned: "Eh, the emperor is Shengming." β
"Your dish is a little dry, and if there is no water, maybe I will die of thirst here." Zhou Yi added the last sentence expressionlessly.
Burst.
Huai Yanqing couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, Chef He was full of confidence: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates naturally know that this dish is very dry, so they specially match it with soup to set it off." β
As he spoke, Chef He lifted the last lid, and inside was a small bowl with a thick white sauce-like liquid.
"Please also pour this bowl on top of the autumn sun." He Chef said.
The maid on the side stepped forward with a very good eye, picked up the bowl of white soup and poured it on top of the "dry field".
Lin Jinxiu suddenly learned of Chef He's intentions.
When the soup is covered with vegetables, it looks like snow on a winter day, covering all the fields, and there seems to be something green in the white soup, which looks like a new seedling under the snow.
Really, it's winter fun.
Lin Jinxiu nodded, this He Chef is really just a person who knows how to cook, and he is also a person who knows art.
"It's really worthy of Chef He, I really didn't expect that there would be this method to cook!"
"The soup is soup, and the condiments are also condiments, so I don't know what it will feel like when combined."
"Chef He is really amazing!"
The surrounding praises also rang out, one after another, as if they were cheering up Chef He.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be surprised: "It's not bad to think that you still have such a practice." β
As he spoke, he tasted it: "Sweet? There is also a slight sourness, and the taste is really good. β
"Back to Your Majesty, this is made of milk, and the minister accidentally found that under certain conditions, the milk will become so viscous if it is left for a long time, and the flavor will be better."
Lin Jinxiu's eyes were empty.
Wait, this thing he said seems familiar......
Isn't it just yogurt? Did this ancient Central Plains person actually realize how yogurt is made by himself?
Awesome!
Now Lin Jinxiu can't praise him anymore.
"It's really my imperial chef." Zhou Yi was very satisfied with the four dishes made by Chef He, "Okay, let's take a look at Ah Xiu's dishes now." β
He Chef saluted Zhou Yi, took a step back, and looked at Lin Jinxiu with a sense of superiority.
The girl's face was full of inquiry, as if she wanted to see how his food was made.
This appearance of not seeing the world made him feel relieved, and sure enough, as the emperor said, this girl is just a country man, and she can't be compared with them at all.
What was he nervous about?
The result of the game should be very clear now, how can Lin Jinxiu ......
As a result, before he could finish what he wanted to say in his mind, Lin Jinxiu saw that he had finished showing it, so he opened his first dish.
However, as soon as this dish revealed its appearance, it completely interrupted Chef He's train of thought.
What is this?
What the hell is this?
I saw a beautiful woman standing on the plate that looked like a white jade sculpture, and the beauty used a carrot cut to a light translucent color as a dress, as if it was not a cooking competition, but a sculpture competition.
The sculpture is not very detailed, but you can feel her charm in a few brushstrokes.
And next to the feet of this white jade beauty, there is a boxy thing, which looks like it is made of vegetables, and the layers are still a little good-looking.
A work of art, an absolute work of art, Zhou Yi didn't know how to put down chopsticks for a while.
"This dish is called Sinking Fish." Lin Jinxiu seemed to be unable to see the expressions of the people around him, and introduced Zhou Yi to the things in front of him.
In fact, the dish is very simple, Lin Jinxiu made the French vegetable jelly that he wanted to make in the competition before he made it, after the fresh vegetables were processed, they were placed neatly on top of each other, and the lemon and oil vinegar were added to help solidify the dishes while keeping the dishes fresh.
"Legend has it that there was a beautiful woman named Xi Shi, gentle and moving, where flowers bloomed, because it was so beautiful, the fish were intoxicated by it, so they took the initiative to sink to the bottom of the lake, as if to make way for her beauty."
When Zhou Yi heard Lin Jinxiu's statement, he suddenly felt very interesting: "I haven't heard the story of this beauty. β
"I don't know if Ah Xiu is talking about other beauties or herself."
Lin Jinxiu didn't know what to say for a moment, she always felt that Zhou Yi seemed to be maliciously teasing her, and sure enough, Huai Yanqing, who was sitting on the side, cast a strange look.
"The emperor is really good at laughing, how can I compare to a beauty like this?" Lin Jinxiu pointed to the plate and asked the emperor to taste the dishes.
The vegetable jelly has a translucent texture, and it shakes slightly when touched with a spoon, which is a bit fun.
Zhou Yi had never seen this thing anyway, and seemed to be a little hesitant, but Huai Yanqing casually ate a little like he had on his own table and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, Lord Yan, I haven't tasted it yet." Zhou Yi looked at Huai Yanqing and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"The emperor's hesitant look, this king thinks that Miss Lin has poisoned this dish, so let's help the emperor taste it first." Huai Yanqing ate what Lin Jinxiu made again after many days, and his eyes narrowed with happiness.
I really didn't expect that after Lin Jinxiu came to Bianxi Town with her, the first time she cooked for herself was actually in this kind of scene.
Although this meal is not made for him, but for his life, it is for him.
Zhou Yi saw that Huai Yanqing wrote emotions such as "love to eat or not", "I don't eat if you don't eat", and so on, he grabbed the plate in front of him, naΓ―ve like a child.
"This is something that my queen made for me, you are not allowed to eat it, not a bite!"
Huai Yanqing: "......"
Lin Jinxiu: "......"
is still at the competition site, please be serious with this judge, don't mix personal feelings.
This vegetable jelly is on the recipe, the dosage and method have long been memorized by Lin Jinxiu, in the case of not being able to fine-tune with her own sense of taste, she completely according to the dosage on the recipe, the taste may not be as delicious as what she made before, but it is certainly not bad.
"You ......"
After tasting it, Zhou Yi slowly put down the spoon in his hand and closed his mouth as if savoring.
What you want to say is already clear on your face.
You don't have a sense of smell or taste, so why can you make a meal that tastes like this?
Zhou Yi knew that he underestimated Lin Jinxiu, and he looked at the second dish presented by Lin Jinxiu.
The second course is still a beauty, but this beauty is not standing, but lying on her side on the bed, and she can't see where the food is.
Could it be that this beauty is covered in sauce? Because the beauty is in a half-wet state, it seems that she has sprinkled a wine glass when she is drinking.
"This ......"
Lin Jinxiu smiled: "This second dish, called Shame Flower, is an emperor's concubine in the Southern Dynasty period, named Yang Yuhuan, with a hot and sexy temperament, Tang Xuanzong was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of lying on the couch, and was called a demon concubine by the world." β
"If you want to taste this dish, you have to take off Yang Guifei's clothes layer by layer, the so-called beauty is delicious."
Lin Jinxiu's face did not change when he said this, but the faces of some old pedantic people around him turned red.
"This girl, how can she say such a thing in front of the Holy One, it is really shameless!"
But their eyes were glued to the dish, as if they wanted to taste the beauty with their chopsticks.
"Ah Xiu......" Zhou Yi was a little stunned, not knowing if he should taste this dish, "It's really naughty." β
Lin Jinxiu smiled without saying a word, wiped the tears on his face again, and motioned for him to hurry up and taste it.
Yang Yuhuan's clothes are made of thin slices of beef, sour radish and other ingredients that can be cut into slices, overlapping and posing, and then pouring sauce on top to form, which looks very high-end, just a hot pot that looks better.
Since she spends most of her time styling to attract attention, the food is naturally as simple as possible, even if it is simple, it can't be disgraced.
The beef is made of the best beef tenderloin of the tribute, even the radish is served in the country, and the soup of the sauce is made with seafood, but because the time is still short, she chose the Japanese flavor, which is not the main body anyway, and does not affect the taste of the thing.
Fortunately, the ingredients that Zhou Yi usually eats are high-end enough, which allows Lin Jinxiu to capture the original taste.
In the end, Zhou Yi still had the courage to pick up the white jade beauty's clothes made of radish, only to find that under the layers of clothing, there were actually very finely carved flowers instead of a woman's carcass, and finally he was relieved and turned his attention to the third course.
"Do you use four beauties to show the theme of the four seasons?" Zhou Yi asked more.
"Your Majesty."
