Huamian herself can't even remember how many fish she handled, seven? Or Hachijo? Fingers have begun to be a little numb, I can't feel the heat and cold of the water, although I like to cook, but this degree is more tiring than writing tens of thousands of lines of code overtime, just when Hua Mian wondered if he would be tired and faint first, the pepper was gone.

The chili peppers used to make boiled fish are still the batch harvested by Huamian in Yilan Building, and they have been preserved through several processes such as drying and grinding, although they have been prepared to make it in consideration of the fact that the palace people slowly accept this taste and only use a small amount to make it, it can't withstand so many mouths waiting.

"Why did Chef Xia stop?" , The palace people who were helping Hua Mian to do chores on the side saw that Hua Mian suddenly stopped the movements in his hands, and he was afraid that something had happened, so he asked worriedly.

"I'm running out of chili peppers"

This palace person also knows that the unique taste of this boiled fish made by Xia Zhangchu depends on the seasoning called chili, and now Huamian said that the chili pepper is gone, which means that this dish cannot be made now, but there are still many ministers waiting in the venue......

"Can you have this pepper anywhere else?" , The palace people still have hope, I heard that pepper is a plant, in case it is also planted in the palace, can't it be continued?

Hua Mian shook her head, "No, at least there must be no in the palace", the pots of chili peppers she kept in the room had just borne fruit, not to mention that such small fruits were boiled fish, and it was not enough to plug the teeth, not to mention that the taste of the fruit would be greatly reduced when it was not ripe, and if there were really chili peppers in the palace, someone like Jia Lao would have put them away for their own use earlier, and it would be her turn?

Seeing that Hua Mian answered so surely, the palace people were sure that there was no more, so they had to put down the tools in their hands to clean the desk and report the matter to the chief manager, but Hua Mian didn't know what to do, so she had to pick up the wooden basin containing the fish and wipe it slowly.

Fortunately, the palace man soon returned to the stove, and the palace man who had led Hua Mian into the tent earlier.

"And the manager, Chef Xia said that the chili pepper is gone"

"Pepper is gone? Can't Xia Zhangchu make boiled fish without chili? ”

When the chief steward was called, because he was in front of the palace, the palace people couldn't say that there were no materials, and only said that there were some situations that he needed to go over to see, and when he came over, he was told that there was no chili pepper.

"I can't make it, I can't make it taste like boiled fish without chili"

"There's no seasoning to replace?"

Hua Mian thought about the existing seasonings in her hand, although she couldn't say that she couldn't make them at all, but what kind of substitute she used to make it couldn't be called boiled fish.

After receiving Hua Mian's affirmative answer, the manager had to hurriedly return to Emperor Deyuan's side, and bowed down to the other party's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, Chef Xia said that there are no chili peppers, and that if there are no chili peppers, you can't make boiled fish."

Emperor Deyuan, who was happily talking and laughing with the concubines around him, heard the news and suddenly slapped his hand on the table in front of him, and with a crisp "snap", all kinds of sounds in the tent stopped together in an instant.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know why the emperor, who was still talking and laughing a moment ago, suddenly changed his face.

"You say the pepper is gone?" , Emperor Deyuan condescendingly looked at the flower sleep standing at the bottom of the place.

Hua Mian's legs trembled a little when she was stared at like this, and she gritted her teeth and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed all used up, the number of chili peppers is very small, and the people here are only half a bottle."
