Chapter 299: Boiled Fish (Part I)
The tools and ingredients needed for cooking were all prepared, and the palace people made a 'please' gesture towards Hua Mian, "Chef Xia, everything is ready, please start"
Hua Mian took a deep breath, "Okay", turned around and walked to the makeshift desk, rolled up his sleeves and re-knotted it, and grabbed a fat fish from the wooden barrel.
The catfish that was lifted up made a half-arc in the air, and fell heavily on the desk, and immediately stopped moving, seeing that the fish was successfully stunned, Hua Mian quickly took out his willow leaf kitchen knife and began to decompose.
After cutting off the head of the fish, peeling the skin and removing the bones, Hua Mian passed the kitchen knife through the water and was about to cut the fish, and when he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the people around him who were originally drinking and chatting were looking in the direction of the stove.
Sikong Yu was originally drinking alone in the moon viewing, in the first few years, when he first started to participate in the moon viewing banquet as the sister of Concubine Jing, he often encountered officials with bad intentions to bully him when he was young to persuade him to drink, and after drinking, it was often the person who persuaded the wine to get drunk to the point that he was unconscious, and over time, everyone in the palace knew not to ask Concubine Jing's sister to drink, and Sikong Yu was also happy that it was easier to be alone without those people to harass him.
was drinking and saw that the palace people around Emperor Deyuan brought a person from outside, and stopped in front of the throne, and a few people didn't know what they were saying, and then more palace people moved in a lot of cooking utensils, and performed in front of the palace? Interesting, it seems that this person is still a female chef.
Several princes at the next table all got up and looked at the throne of Emperor Deyuan, and the officials in the venue also stopped talking one after another, and everyone's eyes were on the chef.
Sikong Yu was still drinking alone cup after cup, and Concubine Jing, who was sitting on the top seat at this time, opened her mouth: "Yu'er doesn't want to go over and take a look?" ”
"What's so nice about that? It's not that the chef has never seen the performance in front of the emperor, although the female chef is indeed rare...", the woman was brought in because Sikong Yu saw that her appearance was really good, but unfortunately her demeanor was still a little worse, and if it was just about beautiful women, there were too many good-looking women on the flower street, and when it came to the female chef, he had already seen a person with amazing skills.
Hearing her say this, Concubine Jing laughed lightly, "The chef who was borrowed from your building, are you so indifferent?" ”
"What?"
Hearing Concubine Jing's words, Sikong Yu's body shook suddenly, and the action of pouring wine in his hand also stopped, "You said that it was... Summer flowers? ”
"yes, otherwise would there be someone else?" , Concubine Jing watched her brother's reaction with interest.
"You...... She ......", Sikong Yu didn't know what to say for a while.
"You haven't seen her look after her makeup?" , this time it was Concubine Jing's turn to be surprised.
She had heard about the Oiran chef long before Zhao Huamian entered the palace, since it was the person who could get the title of Oiran in Flower Street, she thought it would be an earth-shattering beauty, but she didn't expect to find that the other party was not only not a beauty, but could even be said to be not amazing.
Therefore, Concubine Jing has always attributed the credit for Huamian to be able to win the title of Oiran to Sikong Yu's makeup skills, but now she learned that Sikong Yu didn't know what Huamian looked like after makeup.
Looking at her younger brother's surprised look, Concubine Jing was inexplicably a little happy, this younger brother has always shown a comfortable appearance since he decided to live as a woman when he was young, and he has never seen him panic when he encounters anything.
