Chapter 503: Ice
For this Beilin girl who suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, several people would not be bored, Xiaoyin even joked about her and Xiaocui, and for a while, the tension in the kitchen that was originally caused by the significance of this banquet eased a lot.
The kitchen in the other yard...
"Master~ I'm back", Palia saw the master breaking down the ingredients he brought when she jumped in from outside the courtyard.
Pulling out a scimitar from his back, "Master, I'll help you," he said and began his work.
"See?"
Bariya was squatting in front of the platform and was busy with the work in her hands, and the master's voice came from above her head, and she replied directly without looking up: "See, they also have a girl who is about the same age as me, I heard that someone said that there is a very powerful chef, so I want to help the master go and see"
"What do you see like that?"
"The preparation work there is very ordinary, and the ingredients are not seen to be anything special, it seems that they bought them in Hanbei City, probably to please our mission, and they also bought a lot of ingredients from Beilin... But..."
"Huh? But what? ”
"But there was a man in charge of the cook who was very skilled, and when I went by, I saw him being milking"
"Dismissed? What is that? ”
"Just tie a few chopsticks together and stir vigorously in the milk, and the milk will turn into something like a white cloud, and they will give me some taste, and the taste is much lighter than the milk we usually drink."
"Maybe it's their way of dealing with it... It sounds a bit interesting, but no one can compare to our Beilin chef when it comes to making milk dishes, even if the other party is the prince's chef."
Hearing what the master said, Baria nodded vigorously in agreement, for her to be able to help the master is happier than anything else, her own master is the strongest chef.
At the same time, in the kitchen on the other side...
"Chef Xia, the car from the ice shop is here", a waiter outside the kitchen hurriedly ran to inform.
"You two come with me", Hua Mian took Xiao Jin Xiaoyin out for a while, and then moved in a few bucket-shaped objects wrapped in thick quilts from outside.
The barrels were laid steady in a small room behind the kitchen, and the quilt wrapped in the outermost quilt was unwrapped layer by layer, revealing the barrels wrapped in thin iron sheets.
The quilt had just opened a corner and a cold air emanated from the wooden barrel, "It's so cold...", Xiaocui couldn't help but shiver, seeing ice in this season was an unprecedented experience for her.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin didn't show any surprised expressions, as early as when they were in the palace, they had seen Jia Lao use ice to preserve ingredients in the imperial dining room a few times, but it was really novel that Chef Xia said that he wanted to use ice to make ingredients.
"I didn't expect them to be able to keep this kind of ice for so long, and they didn't have a refrigerator, how did they store it?" , Hua Mian looked at the wooden barrel, which was neatly stacked with ice bricks, and a total of five such barrels were transported.
"Busy?" , I don't know when, Xue Chengshou suddenly appeared behind several people.
Seeing that it was the city guard who came to the kitchen in person, several people saluted, but Xue Chengshou hurriedly said: "Hurry up, cover it first, don't be in a hurry to salute, beware of the ice, it's quite expensive."
It is really worthy of Xue Chengshou, the first thing that comes to mind at this time is the price of ice, Hua Mian sighed secretly in his heart.
Seeing that the speed of the lid of the small golden cover wooden barrel was a little sluggish, Xue Chengshou stepped forward in a hurry to take the lid, and wrapped the lid with a quilt with his hands and feet, and his movements were quite skillful in one go.
