Chapter 42: Killing the Fish
Li Shao is a righteous gentleman, even if he is teaching Gao Changle to cook, he also keeps a distance, and does not have direct contact with Gao Changle, but the distance between the two is not too far, Gao Changle can clearly smell the faint smell of soap powder on Li Shao's body when stir-frying, Gao Changle still knows for the first time, but the clothes washed with soap powder can smell so good.
Gao Changle lowered his eyes, not daring to look up at Li Shao's handsome face, always feeling as if he was peeping.
It's not like she's going to be sneaky.
Gao Changle's heart was entangled and a little embarrassed, but soon, this embarrassment left Gao Changle, and was replaced by the fragrance coming from the pot.
"Are you alright?"
Gao Changle was a little looking forward to it, his clear eyes looked at the fragrant bamboo shoots in the pot and licked his red lips, and then raised his eyes to look at Li Shao, "You can put it out!" ”
Li Shao smiled indifferently and nodded.
"Alright."
Gao Changle's eyes always fell on the roasted bamboo shoots, until Li Shao brought the dish to him.
The color is excellent, and the appearance is very good!
Unlike the dark dishes that Gao Changle cooked before, Gao Changle's heart was suddenly full of a sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't wait to taste a piece in his mouth, his eyes were full of surprise, "...... hiss"
"Delicious...... It tastes so good! ”
Gao Changle gasped, and almost burst into tears from the burning of the bamboo shoots, but the fragrance of the dry-roasted bamboo shoots between his lips and teeth was so raw that Gao Changle forgot the pain.
"Be careful." Li Shao shook his head helplessly, his dark eyes doting.
But Gao Changle didn't care, he just grabbed Li Shao's sleeve, "What about sweet and sour lotus root slices!" ”
"And sweet and sour lotus root chips!"
In the past, Emperor Jiayuan invited many skilled chefs to teach her for her, but unfortunately those old men were too wooden, thinking that Gao Changle's status was noble and should not touch these in the kitchen.
If they were all as serious as Li Shao!
How could Gao Changle not be able to learn!!
Li Shao smiled gently, "This will teach you." ”
Again, the same principle and order.
Li Shao's slender fingers washed the pot where the vegetables were stir-frying, and then put the lotus root slices and seasoning materials needed for the sweet and sour lotus root slices one by one, and told Gao Changle carefully, and Gao Changle also remembered seriously, waiting for the sweet and sour lotus slices to come out of the pot, and her red bean rock sugar porridge was also ready.
Although it was two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of porridge, compared to the scale of the meals she used in the past, it was not a little shabby, but Gao Changle felt even happy.
What is it like to cook your own food? No wonder there were so many imperial chefs and palace people in the palace when the queen mother was alive, but she still had to wash her hands and make soup for her father.
Gao Changle enjoyed the fruits of his labor and the happiness of eating, and at the same time looked at the busy Li Shao vaguely and praised, "Your craftsmanship is so good." ”
"If I knew that your skills were so good, Hongu should have sent you directly to the kitchen to cook for Hongu earlier!"
Li Shao, "......"
"Hey, what are you busy with?"
Gao Changle sandwiched a piece of chopsticks and bamboo shoots into his mouth, and he didn't care about any identity and etiquette, so he directly found a place in the small kitchen and ate it peacefully.
Gao Changle felt a little proud in his heart, and he was in a good mood, looking at Li Shao, who was still busy, and greeted, "This princess is happy today, so I will reward you for dining with this princess." ”
"Come here."
"This is your chance!"
I didn't want Li Shao to purse his lips without looking back, and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Her Royal Highness the princess will wait a little longer." ”
After explaining to Gao Changle, he skillfully cleaned up the chicken feathers and dirt on the chicken, and killed two big fish whose names Gao Changle couldn't name...... Get out of the pot and cook......
After a while, the small kitchen was filled with aromas again.
The soup is soaked in fish, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the chicken is tender, and even the radish is refreshing.
Looking at the fragrant West Lake vinegar fish and kung pao chicken in front of him, Gao Changle once wondered if his slender and bony hands were supposed to be holding a kitchen knife? Otherwise, how could it be so perfect in one go? No half-point of helplessness and mistakes?
In comparison, the two vegetarian dishes that I am proud of are a little too inconspicuous.
The two inconspicuous vegetarian dishes were taught by Li Shao, if Gao Changle did it alone, it wouldn't necessarily be like it......
"You can't just let the princess have two vegetarian dishes."
Li Shao smiled indifferently and explained to Gao Changle that although Gao Changle gave him grace, Li Shao did not dare to eat with Gao Changle, but just stood aside respectfully, carefully picking out the bones of the vinegar fish in West Lake for Gao Changle.
Gao Changle didn't want to spoil the fun, and after frowning slightly, he greeted the crested ibis and Zhu Yu and the others who were gathered outside the small kitchen.
"Don't look at the guys, come over and use it together."
If Gao Changle got it, the small kitchen was suddenly opened, and the crested ibis and Zhu Yu also stepped forward first, and even Zhucui looked at Gao Changle with a smile, "Her Royal Highness the princess ......"
Just now, they could smell the aroma of food outside the small kitchen, and like Gao Changle, they didn't expect that Li Shao, the head of the Changle Palace, was not only outstanding in his ability to do things, but also had good cooking skills, which was not much better than the exclusive imperial chef in the imperial dining room, and even ......
It's even better!
"Really?"
Compared with Li Shao, the other palace maids are not so restrained, Zhucui was given to Gao Changle by Cao Shuying, but Crested Ibis and Zhu Yu grew up with Gao Changle, moreover, Gao Changle also rewarded them with food during this time, compared to the first panic, now they are not so uncomfortable to accept.
Although he was asking, the light in the eyes of the girls and the saliva that kept swallowing said it all.
Gao Changle smiled, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon like a clear spring, "You guys are blessed, this palace is in a good mood today, so I'll let you taste it." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"
The crested ibis is older and more sensible, and after making sure that it was with Gao Changle's permission, he took out a clean porcelain plate and evened out some of the dishes that had been prepared, and several people gathered around Gao Changle.
