Chapter 291: Before the Banquet

"What is this? It's actually hot? ”

Seeing that Yuan Kongming said that he was just bored, but in fact he also showed interest in warm things, Hua Mian couldn't help but be a little funny, "This is called Nuan Bao, and it is a baked stone inside, which can keep it hot for a long time, so take it in for you."

"You gave this to me, what are you going to do"

"I work in the kitchen and guard a few stoves, how can it be cold?"

Yuan Kongming thought about it, Hua Mian was reasonable, and he no longer accepted it politely.

Watching Yuan Kongming walk back to the entrance of the tent, put on a serious expression and walked in, reminding Hua Mian of the scene when he first went to Yilan Tower, Yuan Kongming nodded and greeted the officials all the way, although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but just looking at it made people feel bored.

Hua Mian saw that he had sat down, first greeted Lord Zhu on the side, and then his eyes drifted to the direction of Hua Mian's hiding and peeking, Hua Mian hurriedly put down the corner of the tent in his hand, what kind of joke He looked so blatantly that the other ministers looked here, if these people found out that there was a chef peeking at him, wouldn't he lose the face of He Jinggong?

A warm voice suddenly erupted in the tent, it sounded that the emperor had finally arrived, and Hua Mian was about to open the tent again to peek, when Jia Lao sent her subordinates to shout.

Now I want to pretend that I didn't hear it, Hua Mian had to withdraw the hand that had just grabbed the side of the tent, and followed the visitor to the kitchen area, there was a sound of singing and dancing behind him, it should be the banquet to begin, Hua Mian felt that his crossing was still close to seeing the second emperor, but it was a pity that he missed this opportunity, and the next time it may not be time.

"You're finally here, don't run around and turn around and be caught as a fine work", Jia Lao nagged as soon as he saw her come back, and when Hua Mian walked in, he saw the makeup on her face clearly, and said, "This is what Concubine Jing's side made for you, right?" Really, what does a chef do with such fancy things? ”

Regarding Jia Lao's complaints, Hua Mian had to pretend not to hear it, and walked quickly to the stove prepared for herself and began to process the ingredients.

This time it really deserves to be a royal banquet, and the ingredients sent are all of the highest quality, Hua Mian can't help but sigh Fortunately, he has learned the knowledge of ingredient identification with Yang Gu when he was in Sikong Mansion, and now he can easily choose the materials suitable for his dishes among these mountains of ingredients.

The fish is scaled, washed and sliced, the chicken is diced and marinated in sauce... All kinds of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables are processed one by one in the hands of Hua Mian.

The chefs in the imperial dining room seem to be handling their own work, but in fact, they are secretly watching what kind of dishes the female chef who can win Jia Lao's favor will make.

But it doesn't seem particularly surprising, and the way the ingredients are handled is also decent, except that there are a few never-before-seen tools on the side, and one of them is actually baking stones on a shelf made of iron nets.

According to the menu of the moon viewing banquet given by Jia Lao before, the first dish is soup, the main ingredients are tofu, ham, fungus and eggs, Huamian looks left and right, and the other chefs have already started to make it, cut various ingredients into small dices and throw them into the pot, and at the same time sprinkle a handful of flour, because the ingredients are cut very finely in the pot, the thicker and thicker they become, forming an almost semi-coagulated paste.
