It took Zheng Xinwen two days to remember that his father had agreed to let him learn to cook, and he didn't have to sneak into the back kitchen of Zhimiaolou anymore, and he could ask for advice openly.

However, he didn't have time to do this, and as soon as his injury healed, he was packed and sent to Prince Gong's mansion by his father Zheng Mingquan.

A housekeeper who was in charge of meals took Zheng Xinwen into the house.

"You just came here today, so I'll take you to familiarize yourself with it first." The housekeeper said quite politely, with a clear expression on his face, "I received the benefits."

"Yes, yes, thank you!" Zheng Xinwen nodded again and again, he was curious about what kind of ingredients were in the palace and what kind of dishes he would cook.

"Yes, yes!" Hao Xian, who was floating on the side, also nodded again and again. In the past few days, he has been guarding Zheng Xinwen in the Zheng Mansion to recuperate from his injuries, he is uncomfortable to death, he has nothing to do, and he has to eat a mouthful of dog food.

He didn't expect that this abusive mission would take so many days, and he thought that the Chef Jing would directly throw him into the point in time when Zheng Xinwen was about to be victimized by a traitor, and then he could intervene forcefully to turn things around!

The only thing to be thankful for is that Hao Xian can also sleep in the spirit state, although there is no need to sleep to recover from fatigue, but at least he does not have to have to survive the night alone every night, then it will be too lonely.

Now that he can finally enter the kitchen of Prince Gong's Mansion and witness the court dishes of more than a hundred years ago, he can be regarded as relieved.

The housekeeper introduced while leading the way: "There are two dining rooms in the palace, the large dining room is responsible for eating and drinking in the entire palace, and the small dining room is only for the prince and the prince's VIPs. ”

Zheng Xinwen hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and said the auspicious words that his father told him before leaving, which caused the housekeeper to laugh.

"I'll take you to see the ingredients in the palace first, working in the small dining room, and it's absolutely impossible not to recognize all the rare materials in the mansion."

Zheng Xinwen and Hao Xian, who was floating behind him, followed the housekeeper into a warehouse with expectant faces, which was full of dazzling ingredients.

"These are all tributes sent to the palace from all over the world, and they are given to the prince by the saints today!" The housekeeper proudly pointed and pointed, and said, "You remember, at the beginning of this year, they are Zhejiang ham, Suzhou loquat, Guangxi red orange, Fujian bird's nest, Sichuan Li pepper, Shaanxi Yumai, two Huai spring bamboo shoots, Liangjiang lotus root powder, Shandong bergamot, Shanxi Yuci watermelon, ......."

Hao Xian didn't know if the housekeeper deliberately added the name of the place in front of each ingredient, but in this ancient time when transportation was inconvenient, hearing that everything was sent to the capital from various distant places really made him feel how precious these ingredients were.

And how extravagant the royal family was.

After the housekeeper finished introducing them one by one, Zheng Xinwen couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of dishes will be cooked in the palace?" ”

"The dishes you often cook in the small dining room are squirrel yellow croaker, tile fish, braised crucian carp, chicken jelly, white meat, soybean elbow, sweet and sour cherry meat, and golden meat...... These are the dishes that the prince likes to eat, and there are also the Luohan Zhai, winter melon cup, tuberose jade soup, peach soup, and steamed lotus seeds that the princess wants to eat when she eats fast...... And all kinds of dim sum, when the masters make it, you should spend your time learning. The butler replied.

Zheng Xinwen nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, but Hao Xian on the side was stunned, and then showed a surprised expression.

That's right! Zheng Xinwen came to Prince Gong's Mansion to learn how to cook, which means that he, the protector, can also follow the class!

Before, because he was annoyed by a mouth full of dog food every day, he was so annoyed that he had no intention of thinking, and he was always anxiously thinking about "why didn't that traitor show up", Hao Xian didn't think of such a wonderful thing!

He couldn't help but hope that this mission would drag on as long as possible, if he could float in the back kitchen of the palace for a year and a half, how could he learn a few orthodox court dishes!

Hao Xian thought that the inclusion of pot wrapped meat in the recipe of the Kitchen Classic was the only gain of this mission, but now he realized that Zheng Xinwen's apprenticeship experience in Prince Gong's mansion was also a valuable asset for him.

"But don't be too happy, what if the traitor who wants to kill Zheng Xinwen is waiting for us in the small dining room? On the premise of staying vigilant, try to learn as much as possible to bring back the modern era! Hao Xian nodded to himself.

In the past few days, he has become particularly fond of talking to himself, because Zheng Xinwen can't hear him at all, and only by doing so will he feel less lonely.

After the housekeeper took Zheng Xinwen to the small dining room, he gave a brief introduction and left.

Zheng Xinwen was soon taken by an older apprentice to start working with the ingredients.

The masters and other apprentices also seemed to know that the newcomers had come in through a relationship, so they were quite polite, and they did not have the arrogance and scolding of the newcomers in ordinary restaurants, after all, many of them were like this themselves.

This is the small dining room of Prince Gong's Mansion, except for the masters who rely on craftsmanship, which apprentice is not related?

Hao Xian was worried that some old apprentices couldn't get used to Zheng Xinwen's deliberate trouble-making pretending to slap the face, and the plot did not happen, everyone was in harmony and built a harmonious kitchen in the palace.

This made Hao Xian very puzzled: What about the traitor who said that he wanted to kill Zheng Xinwen? It seems that there will not be any big waves in the past few years, but it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?

However, when the masters began to prepare dinner for Prince Gong, Hao Xian had no mind to think about anything else.

He began to concentrate on watching from the sidelines, floating from one stove to another, and found that he couldn't see it at all, and he couldn't wait to be able to dissolve Sanqing in one go, as for Zheng Xinwen, who was arranged to start washing vegetables in the corner, he couldn't care about it at all.

"What a handsome spoon!"

"This man's knife work is so terrifying?"

"It turns out that it can still be presented like this!"

Hao Xian was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, making a voice that she had never seen the world.

Until dinner was all brought out, Hao Xianguang was so busy babbling that he couldn't remember a single dish.

But he at least confirmed who the chefs were—

A master of Lu cuisine, a master of Su cuisine, a master of Manchu cuisine, and a master of snacks, these four people are the four kings in the small dining room of Prince Gong's mansion.

Hao Xian decided to follow Master Su Cai all the way from tomorrow onwards, because he remembered that one of his father's old customers was an uncle who liked to eat Huaiyang cuisine.

"It's a pity that although my soul body can rely on the ground, it can't touch anything in this era, I can only see, I can't use my hands, and the learning effect will be greatly reduced."

Hao Xian sighed with some regret.

But because of this, he is determined to be more focused on watching, and strive to learn more of the top cooking skills of this era and bring them back to his hometown before the traitor appears.

At this time, Hao Xian didn't know that the "traitor" who made him worried would not be born for a year.
