Chapter 55: The Empress of the Cold Palace is Back (14)

In the imperial study, Nangong Mo is sitting in front of the imperial case to review the folds.

He has a straight and stylish posture, holding a brush in his big hand, and the handwriting that falls on the fold is strong and powerful, as sharp as an eagle's hook.

His demeanor was serious, his eyes were shining, and he was staring closely at the prelude to the case......

After reviewing for a while, Nangong Mo pinched his wrist and leaned back against the back chair, and then relaxed.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch who was standing on the side, Fude, immediately brought a blue and white tea cup.

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and took a sip.

At this time, a little eunuch at the door announced, "Your Majesty, the chief of the imperial diet has come to ask for a meeting." ”

"Biography" Nangong Mo said coldly.

The head of the imperial diet, Mr. Gong, lowered his head, bent slightly, and walked in slowly and respectfully with a little eunuch holding a tray in his hand.

"Knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

"Alright, let's get even! Is the yellow braised chicken ready? If it doesn't taste right this time, I'm going to take this hat off your head! Nangong Mo pointed to Manager Gong, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was cold, and he seemed to be a little ridiculous.

"Emperor Xie, the taste is right, the emperor will know it after tasting it, and promise not to disappoint the emperor this time!" Manager Gong bowed his head and replied respectfully with an expressionless face.

"Oh...... You're seldom so sure of something, so I'm going to give it a taste and present it! Nangong Mo had a little expectation on his face.

The palace maid on the side took the tray in the hands of the eunuch in the dining room and stepped forward to Fude, who carefully opened the purple gold porcelain lid, and in an instant, a rich chicken fragrance began to permeate the imperial study......

Nangong Mo's eyes lit up, it was this taste, the same fragrance as the one he ate with Xiwen, Xiwen loved this taste the most.

Ever since he and Xiwen had eaten it at that restaurant, they had never eaten a better tasting yellow braised chicken.

That shop was taken to him by Xiwen, and he still remembered that the name of the store was a little strange as 'Liu Mingyu Yellow Braised Chicken', but the store has been closed since then.

Xiwen wanted to eat in his heart, and he never ate it again.

I didn't expect to be really made out by this old Gongtou!

After so many attempts, he didn't have much hope. Saying that he wanted to take off the hat on Mr. Gong's head was just to scare him.

Smelling the smell of this yellow stewed chicken, Nangong Mo couldn't wait to taste it.

After the eunuch tried the poison, Fu Sheng took a small bowl and handed it to Nangong Mo.

Nangong Mo lowered his head and sniffed lightly, the aroma of the chicken meat and the aroma of side dishes such as mushrooms and potatoes blended together to make it more mellow and thick, tempting the appetite.

Nangong Mo first scooped up a piece of shiitake mushrooms and sent them into his mouth, which was smooth and soft, and the thick chicken soup seeped into it, and the gums bit and invaded his mouth, which was delicious and delicious!

He couldn't wait to scoop up a piece of chicken, and the chicken melted in his mouth, soft and crispy, it was perfect!

It's even better than the yellow stewed chicken he and Xiwen had at Liu Mingyu's house!

It's so surprising that Xiwen must like to eat it.

Nangong Mo unconsciously finished eating a small bowl of yellow stewed chicken, and there was not even soup left.

"Mr. Gong, who made the yellow stewed chicken this time? It tastes great! I thought you wouldn't be able to make the delicious food I remembered, but I didn't expect it to be even better than the taste I remembered, not bad! Nangong Mo finally raised his lips and smiled and nodded in admiration.

Mr. Gong sighed secretly, this is satisfied, great! Finally survived this catastrophe, otherwise their imperial dining room would really lose face, who would dare to claim to be a superb cook.

To be honest, he was also shocked after tasting the yellow stewed chicken made by the little assistant chef! couldn't help but eat a few more bites, indeed, the taste was better than what he made, the color and flavor were complete, and he didn't know how much more delicious than the other imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, so he carefully said such a guaranteed word to the emperor.

He judged people by their appearance, and underestimated the fat assistant cook.

Manager Gong's grim face softened slightly, and he bowed to Nangong Mo, "Back to the emperor, I can't hide it, this yellow stewed chicken is not made by the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, but by a small assistant chef." ”

"Oh...... How can a little assistant chef have such a skill? Your imperial dining room is really full of newcomers, I tasted a few different barbecues yesterday, which was also made by a small handyman in your imperial dining room, it seems that the generation is really stronger than the generation! You old lads are no match for others! Nangong Mo was in a good mood and joked.

"The emperor is right, but that little handyman is actually this little assistant chef, didn't the emperor promote her to assistant chef yesterday? Everyone knows about this in the imperial dining room, but in fact, it is the same person, I am really ashamed, and today's yellow stewed chicken is also made by her. "Mr. Gong doesn't hide it at all, nor does he take credit for himself, and tells the truth.

"It's the same person? That's a good craft, what's the name? I used to think that being a little handyman Qu Cai, but now it seems that being a chef is also Qu Cai, since the craftsmanship is good, especially this yellow stewed chicken Xiwen likes to eat very much, I will have to ask her to do it in the future, so I will give her a promotion and let her be a chef in your imperial kitchen department! Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

"Emperor Xie, this little assistant chef's name is Su Xiaoxiao."

In fact, Mr. Gong didn't know Su Shu's name before, but this yellow stewed chicken was so delicious that even he couldn't help but praise it, for fear that the emperor would ask, so he specially asked the other party's name.

It's good to ask, otherwise I don't know how to reply.

"A woman? There are almost no women in your imperial dining room who are skilled cooks, but I didn't expect it to be a woman, okay! Fude, you can go with Manager Gong to announce the decree later! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

———

And where is Su Su at this time?

Of course, she is no longer in the imperial kitchen, although all the imperial chefs are anxiously waiting for the result of the emperor's tasting of the yellow stewed chicken.

But Su Su, she sneaked over from the chef's division, and she didn't do anything that Chef Miao told her.

didn't wait for any news, hurriedly slipped back to the chef's department, probed at the door first, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chef Miao didn't come back.

immediately started to work, who knew that Chef Miao suddenly appeared behind him after a few minutes, startling Su Shu.

"What did you just do? Don't think I don't know if I sneak out, I just came over to inspect and I didn't see you at all. ”

Chef Miao stood behind Su Su like a ghost, and suddenly scolded sharply.

Frightened, Su Su turned around in a panic to look, and Chef Miao was glaring at her fiercely with an unkind expression.

"It's like a fat pig, and at first glance it's a lazy and fat girl, I guessed right, you really cheated and tricked me ......"

As he spoke, Chef Miao suddenly approached Su Shu and raised his hand to grit his teeth and pinched her arm, the force was so strong that Su Su couldn't help but scream in an instant, "Ah...... How do you pinch someone? ”

Su Su frowned and glared at Chef Miao.

"What's wrong with me pinching you? If you cheat and cheat, and you don't finish what I told you in time, you just violated the palace rules, and I am qualified to punish you, and you dare to stare at me? It's against you, go! Lift the bucket and kneel me in the backyard, not allowed to get up without my permission! The bucket must be filled with water. ”

Chef Miao's eyes were fierce and disgusted, and his voice was sharp and piercing.
