Chapter 72: The Siege
She cleaned her hands and skillfully handled the goose that had been de-feathered. First, the wings and soles of the goose are cut off, and the trunk of the goose is set aside. Then mix the goose feed, use a clean white porcelain bowl to put sugar, salt, star anise powder, cinnamon powder, five-spice powder, licorice powder, thirteen spices, bay leaf powder.
After the powder is adjusted, take a clean white porcelain bowl, put the bean sauce, secret hoisin sauce, peanut butter, sesame paste, fermented bean curd, soy sauce into it, and stir it well.
After the two porcelain bowls are placed side by side, process the green onions, ginger and garlic. Put the powder, sauce, green onion, ginger and garlic into the goose and marinate. After stuffing things in, add high liquor. Rub the internal organs of the goose repeatedly with your hands. Finally, seal with a goose needle, if the interval between the meat and the needle is not well controlled, there will be air leakage during the subsequent production, which will affect the appearance of the goose. Juxia has a good grasp of the spacing, and the sealing is completed at a very fast speed.
As soon as Ju Xia put the goose needle into the goose, the senior brother on the side suddenly asked, "Today is the day of the emperor's list." I heard that the finals of this year's cooking competition will be reserved for the Qionglin banquet? ”
"Hmm." Juxia responded as she shoved the aerated tube into the goose.
"You're not nervous at all?"
"What about being nervous? It's better to hope that it will go smoothly in the future, and there will be no more chaos. ”
"It's not that easy." The senior brother sighed: "First I searched for books and burned books, and then I searched them all to other people's homes. It hasn't stopped like this, saying that it is going to demolish the Mingke Building! ”
When Ju Xia, who was inflating the duck, heard this, he was so frightened that he put down the tube in his hand.
"Demolished the Tea Guest Building? Are you telling the truth? ”
"yes...... It was as if the day was set for today. ”
Ju Xia wiped her greasy hand on her apron, took off her apron and threw it aside and ran out of the back kitchen. The senior brother looked dazed, and only then did he realize that his junior sister had a relationship with the new chef of the Ming Ke Building.
Ju Xia is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. It's the youngest cook in the Takeyin Museum. The younger brother, who is the youngest in age, is also eight years older than her. The little chef in the Mingke Building is as big as her, and they are all girls' families. The two hit it off and became close friends.
If something happens to a best friend, how can Xia not care?
As soon as he got out of the Zhuyin Pavilion, he saw a group of people marching towards the Mingke Building. Ju Xia was shocked and hurriedly chased after him. When they arrived at the place, the leader stood at the door and shouted loudly into the Mingke Building: "Listen, the people in the Mingke Building, hand over Lao Bin!" ”
Before the words fell, the people behind him shouted in unison: "Hand over Lao Bin!" ”
The sound was so loud that it was as if the earth was shaking.
The front door was no longer inaccessible, and Ju Xia was ready to go around the path and enter the Mingke Building through the back door to bring Chen Pingyue out. After pulling away from the crowd, she noticed that a man in a cloth coat was shaking a folding fan and smiling at the crowd not far away.
In the past, in order to improve his skills, he often went to several restaurants with good reputations in the capital to often go to their specialty dishes. As for this person, he has seen it in Wanbaozhai.
Wanbao Zhai's various expensive dishes turn ordinary people away, and the entertainers are dignitaries or rich people's sons. The people who can appear in Wanbao Zhai must be either rich or expensive. Why do such people come here to see the excitement? And did you do such a low-key dress?
The puzzled Xuan Xia did not dwell on this issue for a long time, entered the alley, and arrived at the back door of the Ming Ke Building. The door was not locked, and no one was even guarding it, and when Ju Xia entered it, he happened to see the ark in charge of the overall situation in the backyard.
There are not many guys in the Mingke Building, and the people outside are about to rush in, and they have no ability to resist.
As soon as he thought of this, the ark became anxious.
"You guys are keeping watch in the front yard! Ah Fu protected Mr. Lao and sent him to Wenjin Bookstore. ”
As soon as it was blocked, there were no guests in the tea house, and the back kitchen was also idle.
The temporarily hired cook, Fang Zhou has already asked them to go back early, and now only Chen Pingyue, who has nowhere to go, is still left in the Mingke Building.
"Brother Fang! Is there anything I can do to help? ”
"And me!" Juxia shouted, "I can help too!" ”
Fang Zhou looked at the two girls' homes and said heavily, "You better protect yourselves." ”
"How?" Ju Xia crossed his waist and said, "Look down on us? We're kitchen workers! In terms of strength, it is no worse than them! I can carry a goose with one hand! ”
Fang Zhou glanced worriedly at the chaotic front, and then at the two emaciated girls.
"Xia Pingyue went to my master to see if he had any other way. I'm here to keep watch! ”
Ju Xia and Chen Pingyue shouted in unison: "Yes!"
After speaking, Ju Xia grabbed Chen Pingyue's wrist and ran to the back door. The farther you go, the louder the sound becomes.
"Mr. Lao is not at fault, why did he come to the Mingke Building? Still asking us to hand over Mr. Law? Ju Xia walked briskly, scolding and complaining.
Chen Pingyue's eyes darkened, and she said, "For them, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. As long as they feel it's the right thing to do, they'll do it. ”
"Even if Chengwei is not a faker?"
"At present, Chengwei can't prove that he is not a fake, is he?"
Chen Pingyue's rhetorical question made Ju Xia unable to refute.
"Yes...... But I didn't conclude that Chengwei was a fraud! ”
"So what?" Chen Pingyue's voice changed suddenly, which made Xuan Xia's back chill a little, "Even if there is no fraud, they will turn the fraud into reality." ”
"Pingyue?" Ju Xia asked cautiously, "You don't seem to be quite right?" ”
"It's okay, let's go find Master Meng."
Chen Pingyue in turn grabbed Ju Xia's wrist and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd. Unexpectedly, they had only walked a short distance when they heard someone shouting behind them: "That's the person from the Mingke Building!" Catch it! ”
The voices of the crowd were getting closer and closer to them, and Juxia turned to see that the people had turned around and were running towards the two of them.
"Pingyue! People ......"
Chen Pingyue shouted anxiously: "Don't worry about it so much!" Come on! ”
"Don't want to run!"
The crowd behind him spoke in unison, as if the ground was shaking.
"Ask me before you arrest them!"
Just as the crowd was getting closer and closer to the two girls, the shouting of the ark pierced through the crowd, and even the two girls' homes could hear it clearly.
The crowd was successfully attracted by the ark, he suppressed the slight tremor on his body, and continued to shout: "You have the ability to come at me!" What's it like to bully a little girl? ”
Chen Pingyue listened to the commotion behind her, and suddenly let go of Ju Xia's hand.
"Ju Xia, you go to find Master Meng."
"But!"
"I'm also a person from Mingkelou, and Mingkelou is in trouble, so I can't abandon it."
"But......" Before Ju Xia finished speaking, Chen Pingyue turned around and walked in the direction of the Ming Ke Building.
