Chapter 6: Family Banquets

But after a few rounds of spring and autumn, and there was no cook who suited the taste of the prince, the matter was over.

"You say, should I give him back? It's so precious! Yu Xizhou carefully touched the bracelet, as if there was Shen Nanfeng's body temperature on it.

After all, she has been with him for more than 20 years, and she is wearing it as an outsider, and she is a little uneasy.

"That's it, we don't dare to disobey the will of the prince, you treasure it well, and it can be regarded as keeping the relics left to him by his mother for the prince." Yuan Xi smiled suddenly, the corners of his mouth filled with a bitterness, but he still comforted softly.

It seems that the prince is really satisfied with this new cook.

Yu Xizhou only felt that there was a thousand catties in her heart, and after this time, she was becoming more and more unable to understand the ancients.

The two girls had different thoughts, and sat on the small wooden bench relatively silently.

A sound of soft footsteps sounded, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Yu Xizhou and Yuan Xi both stood up.

"You are both here, the prince ordered that a banquet should be held in the attached middle school tonight, and the two of you should hurry up and add dishes, and there must be no mistakes at the banquet in the evening." Chaoxi looked at Yu Xizhou in front of him with a smile, as if he gave her a look I am optimistic about you.

"Banquet? Why so suddenly? Yu Xizhou's heart was trembling, which meant that there were other guests coming in the evening, in case the food she cooked was not to the liking of these guests......

"The two friends of the prince, King Yuxian and King Shengqing, these two grandfathers are close friends of the prince, saying that they helped the imperial court solve the problem of disaster relief and grain relief outside Gyeonggi a few days ago, and went to Beijing today, and when the prince heard about it, he decided to set up a banquet to entertain these two close friends." Chaoxi talked about these two best friends of the prince, and his eyes were also shining, these two masters and the prince were both talented sons!

"In this way, then I will go with Yuan Xi to buy the dishes needed for the banquet and ensure that the task is completed!" Yu Xizhou smiled awkwardly, but his heart was like a withered little flower, if he didn't do well, he would lose his head!

He nodded to the west, and after passing on the instructions of the good prince, he left first.

"Yuan Xi, it seems that I have to trouble you, help me prepare this banquet together." Yu Xizhou looked at Yuan Xi beside him with a pleading face.

"Don't worry, I will help you with the things that the prince explained!"

The two of them rushed to the market to buy ingredients for the evening.

Speaking of the ingredients and dishes needed to set up a banquet, Yu Xizhou really has a set of methods in his heart, and he is grateful to the original owner for following the master to go south and north to accumulate those recipes.

These princes are all from Wenshi, and they can't stand greasy chicken, duck and pork, so in choosing the first dish of the banquet, Yu Xizhou chose fish.

The fish is light, not greasy in the mouth, and rich in protein, making it the best choice of meat dishes for entertaining these literati and artists.

Secondly, there is the appetizer before the meal, since you have chosen fish as the first dish, then the appetizer must be accompanied by some dried fruits that can increase your appetite.

Finally, choose rock sugar white fungus as an anti-greasy soup after a meal to relieve the stagnation after a full stomach.

Yu Xizhou roughly sketched out the dishes to be made in the evening, "Yuan Xi, before you take me to the fish stall first, I have to choose it carefully." ”

Seeing this girl's eyes gurgling, Yuan Xi knew that she had a way.

The two of them chose all the way, and finally selected a fresh salmon, carrying the salmon hanging on the grass vine, the two took advantage of this freshness, and hurriedly bought other required ingredients, the fresh time of the fish can not be delayed!

Back in the house, Yu Xizhou began to deal with the top dish on the banquet, cinnamon sweet and sour salmon, the best salmon to scale, then add water and cooking wine to remove the fish, after this step is done, it will be fried in boiling oil until golden and crispy, after the pot is poured with her special sweet and sour sauce, sprinkled with osmanthus powder, a fragrant cinnamon sweet and sour salmon is ready.

"Xizhou, the prince just asked me to pass on a message to you, make a taro ball, just a copy." Chao Xi ran to the kitchen in a hurry, sniffed the refreshing aroma deeply, and instantly forgot the original words that Shen Nanfeng had explained that he only needed to make a taro ball for him.

"Okay, I still have a few dishes left to make here, you can go to the banquet in advance." Yu Xizhou's heart was suddenly as sweet as honey, it seems that taro balls are very successful.

After heading west, she made the rest of the food in the oven with all her might, and swallowed as she looked at the delicious food in front of her.

Next time she must make it for herself!

But when I turned my head and thought about it, the ancient people ate and feasted to be leisurely and elegant, so they also had to give these dishes a poetic name.

Just do it, and after the two best friends of the prince came to the house, Yu Xizhou carefully took these dishes and went to the banquet.

"Serve." With an order from Chaoxi, Yu Xizhou stepped forward with the plate of osmanthus sweet and sour salmon.
