Chapter 425

"What do you want to do, this means that she doesn't understand anything, you guys, go back to work, tonight is going to be all-nighter, no one wants to sleep." Chef Mao shouted.

As soon as I heard that I couldn't sleep all night, the chefs looked at me one by one, I looked at you, and some people regretted following Mao Dasong, otherwise they would have gone back to sleep at this time.

Knowing that Li Chunxiang went to sleep, Mao Dasong is really relieved now, he is sure that Li Chunxiang will not do anything to roast whole sheep, and what can be taken out of the outer imperial dining room this time is that he Mao Dasong.

Quietly tired and returned to his residence, threw himself directly on the bed, didn't think about anything, fell asleep, and Xiao Yun observed quietly outside for a while, before turning around and pushing the door out, going straight to Chonghua Palace

Entering Chonghua Palace, the people who avoided Fengyi Building hung their heads and hurriedly flashed into Yiying Building, as soon as she entered the door, she smelled a special aroma, thinking that her aunt was studying those aromatherapy health again.

Yun Yun guessed correctly, Concubine Hui was afraid that she would grow old, so she used aromatherapy to nourish her skin, and the whole room was filled with a faint smell of lavender.

"How's my explanation of your business?" Although Concubine Hui didn't look up, she also knew that it was Yunyun coming.

"My aunt asked me to pay attention to Li Chunxiang, I observed, the person who can mix incense and understand incense should not be her, she is just bold and dares to come nonsense, how can I tell the problem of incense oil."

Yun Yun looked in the dining room

Seeing those spices and spices, Li Chunxiang simply mixed them together and threw them into the pot, there was no way at all, how could such a careless person be a master of perfumery? It was her aunt who was overly concerned.

"Are you so sure?" Concubine Hui said.

"I'm very sure, but it's true that she's a little clever, that's why she curryed favor with Xue Wanyue, the director of Shangshi, and became a senior chef." Yun Yun whispered.

"What kind of senior chef is she, even if she becomes an imperial chef, it has nothing to do with the palace, as long as she doesn't help Li Yerong, that slut, and doesn't interfere with the affairs of the palace."

Concubine Hui's tone was slow and soft, she was doing incense and beauty at this time, she must not be excited and impetuous, paused for a moment, and she continued to ask, "Since you are here, this palace will ask, Lord Liao, how are things going?" ”

"It's already for Lord Liao." Yun Yun replied.

"Well, that's fine, the palace will try to find a chance to get out of the palace, you also hurry back, don't let people see you coming, my aunt asked you to stay in the imperial dining room, it's not that you don't want to attract attention, you can't show this matter alive or dead, otherwise, it's a big sin to lose your head, you must not be negligent."

Concubine Hui said a word, then lowered her head and continued to enjoy the lavender steam.

When she returned to her residence, it was already afternoon, and after entering the house, she found that she was still sleeping, one leg on the bed, one leg under the bed, and it looked really funny.

Relieved, Yun Yun also felt a little tired, in order to help her aunt keep an eye on Li Chunxiang, she had been staring at the door last night, and she hadn't slept much, and she yawned all day at this time.

After lying down, the clouds were sleepy, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and this sleep was completely unconscious.

Quietly slept until midnight and jumped away, she rubbed her eyes, glanced out the window, it was almost time, and now she had to go to the dining room to prepare.

Lookingly, he walked out of the outer room, quietly glanced at the sleeping Yunyun, and then tiptoed out of the room, at this time, this woman was better asleep than awake, if she kept staring at her, she really couldn't do this job.

Four servings of roasted whole lamb

Mao Dasong was still busy there, the pearlescent was shining, but it was dark on this side of the dining room, Xiao Haizi walked around the door with a lantern for a while, and when he saw him coming quietly and hurriedly, he immediately greeted him.

"Hey, I said, Li Chunxiang, Ming'er, the director of Shangshi, just bring someone to taste this roasted whole sheep, why don't you even make a move, I'm standing here, I'm anxious for you, I don't believe you touch it, my head is full of sweat beads, why are you still so leisurely, people? Where are those people, they can help you. ”

Xiao Haizi looked behind her, and when she found that she was the only one, she was immediately disappointed, this Li Chunxiang, is it that the mud can't support the wall, he helped her so much, why can't she see one, two, three.

"Father-in-law Hai, don't worry, I'm all ready here, I only need people when the sheep is roasted, and now there are more people, but it's busy." Quietly explained.

"If what you say is true, I'll be relieved, and I'll get to work."

Xiao Haizi shook his head, took the lantern and turned around the door a few more times, and went to see Mao Dasong working.

Quietly opened the door to the dining room and lit the candle.

The dining room was quiet, and there was a faint aroma of spices.

Quietly began to prepare spices and spices, after a few times of water, smelled and smelled, counted and counted, and added some wild rose petals, then I felt that the taste was okay, and then packed in a white cloth, and then put the cloth bag in hot water to soak, let the spices fully expand, and then she opened the lid of the soup for the lamb, at this time the sheep's qi was not so big, the taste of the soup was just right, and the color of the mutton also changed.

"It should be fine."

Quietly pour out the soup, apply cumin and other spices on the sheep's body, so that the sheep's skin seems to be wearing a thick layer of seasoning clothes, and then stuff the spice packets into the sheep's stomach.

Picked up the needle and thread prepared in advance, and quietly sewed up the small hole in the sheep's belly, which was a special way for the old imperial chef to teach her to deal with the sheep, without destroying the integrity of the sheep, and there was no knife edge, the sheep's blood entered the abdominal cavity, and the smell of the internal organs in the sheep's stomach was also removed.

Everything was ready, and I quietly wiped my sweat, feeling that the time was almost up.

After a while, the helpers came after sleeping enough, pushed open the door of the dining room, and one by one, full of energy, Jade rushed in first, and said hurriedly.

"Mao Dasong is almost ready, there are still two hours before dawn, will it be too late."

"No, jade charcoal, the predecessor of the sheep is pine charcoal, the second half is fruit charcoal, the sheep is erected, you must stare at me without blinking, you can't see the open flame, you can't smoke, whoever has a problem in this link, you will find whose trouble."

"Understood." Jade answered, went to burn charcoal.

Because of the lack of manpower, quietly also personally joined the roast sheep team, her eyes were wide open, constantly turning the sheep, constantly smearing oil, the process was really hard, she was tired and sweating, her hands were hot several times, but still refused to take a step away, for fear that they would accidentally roast the whole sheep.

When it was dawn, Xue Wanyue was already sitting in the big dining hall, and Grandpa Lan, Grandpa Ping, and some adults living in Mongolia were all in place, just waiting for the four roasted whole sheep to be carried up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this state banquet is not trivial, roasting whole lamb is a very important dish, so I invite you adults to taste, I hope to select a chef and sous chef to be in charge of this state banquet, which requires you to be absolutely fair."

"We have all lived in Mongolia for a while, and we have indeed eaten a lot of roasted whole sheep, so there should be no problem."

Several adults have a lot of experience and are very confident that they can't delay national events.

Father-in-law Lan is very confident in his imperial kitchen, especially An Ge, don't look at him young, but he is very researched in meals, this whole sheep banquet must be no worse.

But Ping's father-in-law was a little worried, he heard that Li Chunxiang and those helpers had been sleeping, I don't know if the girl would recklessly carry a half-baked sheep in, as for Mao Dasong, he walked through the door of the dining room several times, and he really didn't have much confidence in the smell coming from inside, it seemed that this time the outer imperial dining room was going to be wiped out.

"It's almost time, let them roast the whole lamb up, there is something to explain, let each chef roast the whole lamb tray, press the chef's name under the tray, don't forget this."

Xue Wanyue explained this, she was still afraid that a few adults would divide the chef and the imperial chef, and she would be in vain for her personal feelings, this state banquet, she didn't want to deliberately raise anyone's stage, she just wanted to do things well.

"It's okay like this, I don't know which sheep made it by whom, it's okay to evaluate." Several adults agreed with the proposal.

"Yes!"

The palace maids all went down, and after a while, eight or nine little eunuchs sent in four roasted whole sheep, exuding bursts of aroma.

"It's a bit of a Mongolian feeling." Several adults nodded their heads and commented on the appearance of the four roasted whole sheep, but as for the fragrant smell, they didn't know which roast sheep came out.

The imperial kitchen is all over the world, the imperial chef is singing, and Chef Mao walked in, but he didn't see Li Chunxiang.

"What about Li Chunxiang?" Xue Wanyue asked.

"It's still outside, come in right now."

A palace maid's explanation had just fallen, and she quietly ran in in a hurry, her appearance was really embarrassed, her face was red, there was a little charcoal ash stuck to her chin, a few strands of hair fell from her sideburns, and her clothes burned a few holes.

"I, I'm late." Quietly smiled embarrassedly, and after saying this, she realized that everyone was looking at her, one by one dumbfounded.

In fact, none of the other three cooks who participated in the production of roasted whole sheep were so embarrassed as quietly, especially An Ge, who didn't look blushing, panting, or even sweating, although Mao Dasong blushed a little, at least he didn't have unkempt hair, and he didn't burn his clothes out of holes.

Quietly lowered her head, fingers pulled the hem of her skirt, full of anger in her stomach, in her dining room, only Jade was the only one who had great strength, Jade was tired of rummaging the whole sheep, and quietly had to turn the sheep with another cook, just now one accidentally almost threw himself into the charcoal fire and roasted himself.

"Don't sit down yet." Xue Wanyue closed her gaze.

Quietly answered, lifted the side, approached a seat, as soon as she sat down, a silk handkerchief was delivered to her eyes, quietly turned her head to see, it turned out to be the imperial chef An Ge, An Ge's handsome eyes with a smile, pointed to her chin.

There's no next, let's take a look at something else

A special anthem

Quietly and embarrassedly wiped his chin with a silk handkerchief, and when he found that the silk handkerchief was black, he smiled embarrassedly, while An Ge closed his gaze and waved something in his hand, he didn't seem to care about the result of roasting a whole sheep.

Quietly glanced over, and found that An Singer was holding a small wooden box, there were many small wooden blocks in the box, and there were various patterns on the wooden blocks, his slender fingers were pushing around the wooden blocks, and his eyes kept moving the position, which seemed to be a small game of entertainment, when everyone was so nervous, he was actually entertaining himself, what a strange person.

Just when he was quietly staring at the things in An Ge and was puzzled, An Ge glanced over, quietly and quickly looked away, looking at the roasted whole sheep, An Ge then closed his gaze and continued to fiddle with the things in his hand.

Quietly staring at the roast whole sheep she sent in, because the sheep body is complete, it looks special, and at the same time, because the turning is not timely, some parts are a little mushy, she sighed discouragedly, it seems that this selection, there is no chance.

"The whole roasted sheep is here, please taste it, and finally choose two." Xue Wanyue spoke.

Several little eunuchs picked up knives, cut a little meat on the front and back of a sheep, put it on several plates, and sent it to the eyes of several adults, and the adults tasted it and wrote down the results of the evaluation on paper, and presented them to Xue Wanyue, followed by two.

"Tender, crispy, and good...... one adult tasted two and couldn't help but praise them.

Because the chef and the imperial chefs are not allowed to talk, and I don't know who these two belong to, Mao Dasong has been stretching his neck, I don't know if it's his? An Ge didn't even raise his head, still fiddling with the little thing in his hand.

Quietly knew that the two were not her own, could it be Mao Dasong's, when she thought that the guy stood out in this competition, she was full of chagrin and dissatisfaction, just by the character of this guy, she should not appear at the state banquet.

"You're nervous?" The voice of An Ge came to my ears.

Quietly turned her eyes to look, and found that An Ge had already handed her the things in his hand.

"For you, this one will give you peace of mind."

"I won't play."

Quietly shook her head, where is she in the mood to play this at this time, if it is not possible to roast the whole sheep this time, how can Mao Dasong let go of the opportunity to deal with her, if there is another time, she doesn't know if she has escaped with such a good life.

"It's very simple, I'll teach you ......" An Ge seemed to be enjoying it, his fingers pushing the small wooden block, whispering little by little, quietly glancing with his eyes, listening with his ears, and gradually listening to the Tao, ignoring the result of the previous tasting.

Xu is An Ge's body leaned over, a faint medicinal fragrance penetrated into the quiet nostrils, her eyes raised slightly, and she unconsciously looked at this man, although An Ge's appearance was handsome, but there was a literati bookish atmosphere, especially those eyes, the corners of the eyes were slender, and they looked more and more handsome, his lips were thin and moderate, and he had a habit when he spoke, and the corners of his mouth were always slightly picked, as if he was smiling, but he was not so obvious when he smiled.

An Ge has a big difference from other imperial chefs, he doesn't seem to care about anything, he doesn't care about anything.

"Do you look at me, or listen to me?" He suddenly raised his eyes and asked quietly.

was asked by An Ge like this, and quietly blushed, she did listen to some in the first half, and she was a little distracted in the back.

"I like to watch it, and I will have time to watch it in the future." He laughed again.

Like to watch? Is there time to see later?

This was said so ambiguously that her face turned even redder quietly, she looked at him like that just now, she was just curious about this imperial chef, and she didn't have any other excessive thoughts, but when the words came to his mouth, it was as if she was greedy for him.

Quietly and without embarrassment, he pushed Mu Fang out of An Singer, threw the silk handkerchief to him, and looked at the front intently, ignoring An Ge.

The ministers had already tasted the three sheep, but no one said a word, and they didn't know whether the taste of the sheep was good or bad, so they glanced at it quietly and casually, and found that Mao Dasong's beads of sweat came out, and it seemed that these three were his.

I couldn't see anything from the expressions of the ministers, they didn't think Mao Dasong's roasted whole sheep was very outstanding, and they couldn't help but judge like that just now.
