Chapter 399
"Li Chunxiang, everyone is watching, if you can't prove it, no one can protect you, you just wait to accept the punishment of the palace rules."
"Father-in-law, is this thinking that Chunxiang deliberately put the yellow eel?" Quietly asked coldly.
"Is this a question?"
The presiding eunuch said disdainfully, looking at the sky with his eyes rolled white, looking unwilling to say more quietly and quietly.
In fact, Huang Eel did quietly and deliberately let it go, and it also stirred up the situation, but seeing that the presiding eunuch looked like he couldn't kill her and wouldn't give up, he quietly couldn't let him succeed.
"Since my father-in-law said so, I made this royal brocade hemp eel today!"
As soon as these words came out, the arrogant expression of the presiding eunuch Wangtian immediately converged, he stared at the quietly with a pair of round eyes, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and after Shaoqing was stunned, he walked to the quiet step by step, staring at her eyes, wanting to be sure that the daughter of this palace was talking big? Or will it really be done?
"You say, you're going to make a royal eel?" The presiding eunuch repeated what he had just said quietly, with a tone of disbelief.
"Since my father-in-law was suspicious, he looked at it with wide eyes."
After speaking, he quietly leaned down, pinched the tail of the yellow eel in the bucket, and lifted it out directly from the bucket, Xu is yellow eel was too lively, after quietly straightening up, his body twisted, and his head almost touched the face of the presiding eunuch, this guy was so frightened that he took a step back, and his face was white.
Quietly pouted and smiled, I thought that only she Miss Chu Si was afraid of this thing, but I didn't expect him to be so timid as a man who was not a man.
"You, you ......"
The presiding eunuch swallowed his saliva, and before the stammering words could be spoken, Zhijie quietly picked up the yellow eel and threw it at the case.
In his quiet hand, the yellow eel picked up a large arc and pulled it out like a whip.
"Huh?"
The presiding eunuch was not spared this time, and was thrown off the water idea, and the yellow eel also fell to the side of the case and fell softly and did not move.
A simple action, but the presiding eunuch was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and he couldn't speak.
"Father-in-law, Chunxiang is a royal brocade hemp eel, can't you stand far away?"
Quietly put down the soft yellow eel, and smiled embarrassedly at the presiding eunuch.
The guy wiped a few handfuls of water on his face, and had to step back, looking embarrassed, but he was most concerned about the yellow eel, why did the fish not move like this? Li Chunxiang's movements are too snappy, right?
Looking at the uneasy appearance of the presiding eunuch, he almost laughed quietly, he deserved to be splashed with yellow eel like this, who called him a thief looking at her, the distance was so close, it was not that he wanted to kill her for a while
The evidence of making the royal brocade hemp eel was revealed.
He wants to get out quietly and be severely punished, it's not so easy.
"I'm going to slaughter fish......"
Quietly and deliberately pulled the "slaughter" for a long time, and then the eel nailed it to the board, pulled the fish tail with his hand, and the sharp knife slashed in the belly of the fish, and quickly took out the internal organs, followed by the fish bones, today's action has been much faster than last night, and the people who participated in the competition were dazzled and surprised.
"So the yellow eel wants to kill like this? See, see. ”
Discussion abounds, ordinary people kill the yellow eel, afraid of slipping, afraid of getting rid of the hand, so they use boiling water to scald the yellow eel to death, so that the fish will be damaged, lose the umami, today I see quietly killing fish like this, how can I not have a long knowledge?
The muscles on the presiding eunuch's face twitched a few times, and his eyes became resentful, how could she kill the fish?
But in fact, Li Chunxiang is the yellow eel is easily processed, and then numbly blanched the fish through the water, and then fed it with small ingredients, waiting for it to taste.
"She handles the eel in an orderly and virtuous manner."
"If the fish bones are removed, it won't get in the way, and it's really high."
"It seems that it was a bit arbitrary to say yesterday that she deliberately let the yellow eel stir up......"
When she raised her head, she found that the face of the presiding eunuch was ugly, and a pair of unwilling eyes were unwilling to leave her hand for a moment.
"If the fish is fed to remove the fishy, it must be oiled and heated!"
These six points of heat were summed up by quietly watching the old imperial chef cooking, although he didn't speak, he let him quietly watch carefully.
"You have to take it out in a few moments, drain the oil and wait for copying."
When the eel meat segment was quietly fished out of the oil, and then the auxiliary materials were prepared as appropriate, Gonggong Lan nodded approvingly, and the two senior imperial chefs also showed approving glances.
"The materials are also right, and the portions are in place...... Strangely, in the imperial dining room, there are very few people who can make this dish, and she can prepare all the seasonings that she assists, if she hasn't done it, it is absolutely impossible. ”
"Wizard, wizard!" The sturdy chef squinted his eyes and was amazed.
A word of caution
When the dish was prepared and served on an iron plate after quietly following the steps of the old imperial chef professor, it looked like it was already full of color and flavor. Love to see the flowers
Quietly she was about to say that it was ready, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was one step missing, so she smeared a little wine on the periphery of the plate, and then lit it with fire, and as soon as the blue flame rose, it immediately caused an uproar.
Absolutely, the dish is on fire, which is refreshing, and at the same time, it also makes the dish crispy.
"Good!"
The sturdy Imperial Chef stood up and clapped his hands loudly in praise, his compliments representing a higher level of recognition from the Imperial Cuisine in the Imperial Palace, while the young and handsome Imperial Chef only squinted his eyes and frowned, as if surprised by this, but unwilling to express his opinion.
After seeing the last process of the Yujin Maxiang eel, Grandpa Lan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and asked in a cold voice.
"Who taught you this?"
Quietly where did she think that the Lan Gong Guild suddenly spoke, she was startled, and the plate in her hand almost turned over, she settled her mind, hurriedly put the plate down, and replied in a low voice.
"I've seen people do this with other dishes before, and Haruka is just imitating."
"Imitation?" Father-in-law Lan obviously didn't believe in this statement, his eyes were still staring at quietly, in the palace, there is only one person who likes to do this dish, but this person is already crazy......
Xu is atmosphere was too embarrassing, and Pinggong stood up and quietly relieved the siege.
"This kind of thing was rare in the past, and it's not a secret now, why take it seriously when it comes to children's grandstanding."
Ping's words made Lan Gonggong's face change, and if he wanted to continue to ask, he stopped, thinking about his identity, but the eunuch, the leader of the inner imperial dining room, as Ping's father-in-law said, was just a child, so he restrained his surprised attitude and sat down.
"It's really grandstanding, and my father-in-law hates this kind of trick the most."
Is he the most hated for this kind of trick? Or are you afraid of something? Quietly saw a trace of panic in Gonggong Lan's eyes, what was he afraid of, and what did he want to trace from this flame?
The presiding eunuch was completely stunned, if it weren't for the little one next to him to remind him, he would have been there all the time.
"Father-in-law, isn't it time for the imperial chef to taste it?"
"Huh? Yes, yes, tasting. ”
The presiding eunuch wiped his sweat and stood up.
"Then please ask the two imperial chefs to taste it, this dish looks good, I wonder if the taste is as good as it looks?"
After presiding over the eunuch's words, the sturdy guy stood up first, he rolled up his sleeves, strode up, picked up a piece of eel meat, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and nodded.
"Well, it's true, the spicy taste is mellow, the taste is crisp, it should be the best quality of the imperial meal, you are a little handyman palace maid who can make the royal brocade hemp eel in the kitchen competition, it is indeed not easy, this round, I have commented on you."
After saying that, he put down his chopsticks and walked down with his feet up.
This imperial chef has commented on her? Quietly excited, at this moment, the young imperial chef walked up, he did not pick up the chopsticks, but raised his eyes and glanced at the quietly, with a little deep meaning in his eyes that he quietly couldn't understand.
"Yujin Maxiang eel is not only to win in taste, but also in appearance, it should also be different, your fish segment is messy, the color of the green onion segment is dull, and it loses its greenness, which is a failure."
Quietly surprised, the young imperial chef came up, and found fault with it, this fish segment has just come out of the pot, hot and hot, how can it be placed neatly, this green onion is green onion white, where does the greenery come from? He didn't mean to find fault, what was it?
Next, the young chef picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of eel meat and tasted it, and his eyebrows immediately raised.
"The taste is okay, too much salt, salty, I judge you, barely passed, don't think about winning any championships, being an apprentice to help the cook may be more suitable for you."
After speaking, he put down his chopsticks, glanced at them with the eyes just now, and then turned around and walked over step by step.
Why did he say this? What does this look represent?
Deliberately picky? Still warning quietly?
In fact, there is absolutely not much salt in this matter, she saw the amount of the old imperial chef with her own eyes, and she quietly remembered it quite well, how could it be wrong? Even if it's wrong, it's not that bad.
Undoubtedly, the young chef didn't want her to be the champion of this chef competition
Becoming a champion means that he may quietly enter the inner imperial dining room and fall under the jurisdiction of Father-in-law Lan, who is still very ignorant of Father-in-law Lan, and the inner imperial dining room is specially for the emperor and the ladies to make imperial meals, not a place that he quietly wants to go.
Quietly thinking about it, she felt that the young imperial chef had something to say, she slowly raised her eyes, glanced at Grandpa Lan, and then aimed at the presiding eunuch, Grandpa Lan's expression was cold, and the presiding eunuch gritted his teeth, if he really won quietly and won the honor of the first game in this game, what would be the situation?
Thinking of this, she quietly shuddered, feeling that things were not so simple, the last words of the young imperial chef were very important, he said that the apprentice who helped the cook was more suitable for her, and no matter how he heard this, it was a reminder to her.
After the young chef returned to his seat, he sat down steadily, and the sturdy chef was a little displeased.
"Is there something wrong with your tongue, how can it be salty? When does the eel need to be placed neatly? ”
"It's not my tongue that's wrong, it's yours that's wrong, Yujin Maxiang Eel, she is really doing well, but after all, she is young, has little experience, and owes a lot of heat, a little palace maid, is it possible that she really went to the inner imperial dining room to be the imperial chef?"
After speaking, the young imperial chef laughed slightly, and this smile made the guy next to him scratch his hair, his face full of suspicion, but he stopped talking.
When the presiding eunuch saw that there was a person who was like this, he also looked for the bottom of the steps, and then walked up with square steps.
"It seems that Li Chunxiang will indeed make this dish, so yesterday's yellow eel should also have accidentally escaped, this incident was purely accidental, but your imperial meal still owes the fire, and you will have to learn from the chef in the dining room when you are an apprentice in the future."
"Haruka knows."
nodded quietly, to be honest, she would only cook this dish, if she really became a champion and was sent to the inner imperial dining room to be the backup of the imperial kitchen, she would be exposed, and the young imperial chef helped her in disguise.
Relieved, quietly satisfied with the result, she took a step back in recognition, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
But occasionally, she could still feel the young imperial chef's gaze shining directly at her, which made her heart even more uneasy.
Step on a flat foot
The contest continued, and the face of the presiding eunuch had returned to its normal color. Love to see the flowers
"Other contestants, don't look at the excitement, each of you has a note on the case, open it and take a look, in the end, one person can be out, everyone doesn't have to be so panicked, hurry up and stir-fry."
After speaking, the eunuch's gaze swept quietly, and it seemed that the result had been decided, no matter how difficult he was, at the threshold of this dining room, the miscellaneous palace maid Li Chunxiang stepped in without any suspense.
After sitting down, the face of the presiding eunuch finally returned to normal, but his expression was still stupid.
The contestants, who had been watching the excitement around them, were all busy, and they had persevered to the last level of the competition, and no one wanted to be the one who finally left the palace.
But quietly, after finishing a dish, she was idle, she stood far away from the case, and knew the operation of all the contestants at a glance.
These people are in public, and the most calm is Yunyun, she doesn't feel a little nervous at all, and she seems a little out of place with others.
Occasionally, Yun Yun would turn around and smile quietly, his small eyes narrowed into a slit.
Quietly looking at this smile, she became more and more confused, a woman from the countryside, when she first entered the palace, her calmness was a little abnormal.
Soon, all the dishes were ready, and the dining room was filled with fragrance.
A man from Suzhou left dejectedly, and the rest of the time was for the final selection results, and several imperial chefs, inspectors, and the eunuchs in charge looked at each other, as if they had reached an agreement on the results.
But when the presiding eunuch Ya read out the results of the cooking competition, a person walked in leisurely outside the door of the dining room, and the people in front and behind were all flattering little eunuchs, and the pomp was very large, not only the presiding eunuch stood up, but even Pinggong and Lan Gonggong also left their seats, looking respectful.
Quietly glanced at it, and found that the person who walked in the door she knew, it was the prince who was beaten with a broom in the courtyard of the imperial dining room outside, and was about to beat the staff to death, strange, isn't he the deputy chief eunuch in the palace? This kind of small competition, the selection of the highest level is just a small assistant chef in the inner imperial dining room, can it be used to bother him?
Obviously, the prince is not good.
"Princess? It's just fried here, and there's fumes, so don't choke on you. ”
The presiding eunuch looked flattering, risking his waist and nodding his head, so that he could not help but think of Chu Hui's big yellow dog in the Chu Mansion who was good at pleasing his master, but this time the dog was beaten and barked, but next time he still tried to flatter, and it was nothing more than that.
The prince covered his nose, as if he really didn't like the taste very much, and waved his palm in disgust, now he was different from the other people's high swing.
The presiding eunuch personally moved a chair over and placed it behind the prince, who sat down happily, looked at the rest of the people one by one with proud eyes, and said in a disdainful voice.
