Chapter 394
"What are you doing? Where to steal the lamb? ”
Quietly frowned, looking at this old man with suspicion, although he is not a madman, but he is old, and his legs and feet don't look so neat, how did he get these things in the imperial dining room?
Didn't you get injured last time, and you also went out to steal something, and you were slashed? Strange, why didn't he get caught, but escaped?
"You don't care about this, come, I'll teach you to make Mongolian roasted whole sheep, although it's not a sheep, we can also imagine, hehe."
The old chef squinted his eyes and laughed, and that smile was really evil.
"You're so well-informed, you even know that we people are going to roast whole sheep?" Quietly even more surprised, I feel that this old imperial chef should not be bored in this house all day long, as if he is everywhere and knows everything, or is it the news that the big man often comes to bring him some dining room?
"To make Mongolian roasted whole sheep, you want to stand out, there is still a lot of heat left, let me teach you a lesson first, save the emergency."
"Smack!" The old chef threw the lamb on the case.
Quietly jumped away immediately, stared at a pair of round eyes, and this meat came straight over, this should not be the sheep of the Mongolian steppe.
The old imperial chef glanced quietly.
"The highest level of being an imperial chef is to make authentic taste of raw materials without taste, this is the meat of an ordinary grass sheep, but we want to make it taste the same as the fat sheep in the grassland, come, help!"
"Oh!"
Quietly walked up and helped clean the mutton, the smell of this raw meat was really bad, so that she almost vomited several times.
The old chef laughed again.
"Authentic Mongolian old whole sheep, to choose the fat grassland lamb, dig a hole in the belly, bloodlet kill, let the blood coagulate in the abdominal cavity, and then remove the dirty, peel and take care of it, the whole sheep body should be soaked in spice soup, and then put the Mongolian secret spice bag in the stomach, and then roast on the fire, it is not difficult to say, want to do well, but it is difficult and difficult."
"Spices?"
I had heard of the soup and spice packets, but I didn't know what the spice soup and the bags were in.
"The water of this spice, the spice packet, and the heat are the key points."
The old imperial chef pointed to the countertop, and was quietly shocked to find that there were a lot of spices on it, if she hadn't seen it before, she would really have to cover her head, almost everything, where did he get it, even if it was the imperial dining room, he had to find it slowly.
"Tell me, what kind of spices are they?" The old imperial chef asked, saying that if you don't know spices, it will be a big trouble, and if your nose is not good, it will be even more troublesome
Quietly standing in front of the spices, looking at the looks, smelling the smell, and reciting the names one by one.
"Parsley, Sichuan pepper, benzoin fennel, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, turmeric, lotus leaves, fragrant herbs, afoetida, wild roses......" Thinking of this, the old imperial chef's face gradually changed, and his eyes looked at quietly in confusion.
"How do you know all the spices?"
"Before entering the palace, I saw some, some of which I had read in books, and I guessed wildly." Quietly stopped.
"No one knows the herb, Afoetida, which is a very rare and rarely used spice, unless it is ......"
The old imperial chef looked up and down quietly, and quietly smiled awkwardly.
"I have a relative who is in the spice business." Quietly and eagerly explained, and then avoided the old imperial chef's puzzled gaze.
"That's a coincidence."
The old imperial chef closed his gaze, and his expression was not as relaxed as before.
"Since you are so smart, you don't need me to teach you by hand, the spice soup should be soaked for about two hours, and then filtered, from the knife edge on the inside of the leg of the lamb, poured into the sheep cavity, and then the whole sheep is thrown into the soup, soaked for three to four hours, and then the spice bag can be stuffed into the abdominal cavity, as for the spice bag, how do you choose, you have to think carefully, the nose is not used to be idle at this time."
"Isn't there any pattern or formula?" Quietly asked.
"Yes
The rules and recipes of death, you are just an idiot cook who can imitate, the first to study roasting whole sheep, but there are no rules and recipes, they all rely on smell and mouth, I think...... You don't need to. ”
The old imperial chef said well, so that quietly was very confused, she glanced at the spices again, and immediately had an epiphany, the old imperial chef had already listed all the spices needed, and then, it was up to her to control the spices and taste.
"I thought you were stupid enough to need me to teach a little bit, but now it seems that it is really worry-free."
The old imperial chef came down and explained some common sense one by one, and then began to make roast sheep on his own, and he nagged that it should be roasted on a pine and fruit wood stand, and there should be no smoke, no fire, no paste, and a lot of things to keep in mind.
When it was almost the third watch, the old imperial cook seemed to be tired, yawned and walked back to the bed, and lay down with his feet raised.
"That's it, if you're sleepy, you can go back too."
After saying that, he turned over, turned his back to the quietly, and fell asleep.
It's still an old habit, the old imperial kitchen went to rest, and quietly had to clean up the mess before leaving, when she wiped the case and turned around to leave, she unexpectedly found that there was a black corner of clothes next to a cabinet by the door.
In my memory, the eunuchs and imperial chefs in the palace rarely wore black clothes, not to mention the black color of the whole body?
Quietly glancing back at the old imperial chef, she found that he was already asleep, so she cautiously walked over and gently opened the lid of the cabinet.
Just at a glance, I was quietly stunned, this turned out to be a set of night clothes, and a masked scarf......
How so?
The old imperial chef is the masked man in black that Chong Ximo is hunting......
Xu is this fact made it really difficult to accept quietly, and it was too shocking, she lost her mind, her hand shook, the lid of the cabinet fell, only to hear the sound of "bang", she hurriedly retreated, and when she turned back, she found that the old imperial chef had got up and sat on the edge of the bed, squinting at her.
"I, I didn't mean to."
Quietly a little hurried, thinking of the black clothes holding the knife to her neck, once at a moment, he may have moved the idea of killing her, now that she knows his secret, I don't know if this door can still get out.
After stammering a few words quietly, he found that the old imperial chef had slowly stood up, and looked at it with cold eyes.
Women have to fight men
Quietly frightened, a staggered to the door, don't run at this time, when are you waiting? But before her hand could touch the door, he grabbed her neck.
"If you dare to speak out, I'll tell everyone that you are my helper."
"You, you ......" quietly frightened pale, the old imperial chef was dressed in black that day, walking in the palace with a knife, it was a capital crime, if she was mistaken for a helper, would she still have a life?
I thought I could learn some cooking skills to please this half-madman, but I didn't expect to fall into another trouble, and I quietly regretted it, how could I make a mistake every step of the way?
His nose was sore, and his eyes were red.
"I'm just an ordinary palace maid, I just want to live well, please, let me go, right?" Pretending to be pitiful at this time is much better than being tough, and as he spoke, he quietly squeezed out a few tears, hoping that the old imperial chef could remember that she had taken care of him for so long, and not kill her.
The old imperial chef was quietly frightened and cried, and his hand strength was much smaller, and his tone was not as fierce as just now, but he still did not forget to say threateningly.
"You just saw that you can't say a word, understand?"
"No, don't say it, don't say a word!" Quietly swearing, she just didn't see it, she didn't see anything, just now it was just a hallucination.
"I don't dare, but don't worry, I just stole something, I didn't kill anyone." The old imperial chef let go of the whisper and laughed coldly.
Sneer? He let out a sneer, and the pores all over his body stood up.
"Can I, can I go? If you don't go back, it will make people suspicious. He asked in a low voice.
"Let's go, remember what I just said, I had an accident, and you can't run away, so be smart, as for the matter of the imperial dining room, you promised me, you have to do it, otherwise ......" The old imperial chef wiped his hand on his neck, then turned around, yawned, and went to sleep.
What an old bastard, after threatening her like this, she is still in the mood to sleep? It seems that he has a lot of confidence in Quiet, believing that she doesn't have the courage to say it.
Standing quietly at the door, he glanced at the cabinet, and knew the truth that the old chef said, if something happened to this old guy and said that she was a helper, even if she had a hundred mouths, she would not be able to defend herself.
She leaned over and opened the cabinet again, and picked up the night suit and the masked towel, for her own sake, she had to tell the old imperial chef to be careful.
"You can't just put this clothes here, you have to put them away carefully, and ...... When you steal, when you steal something, can you not be seen and catch you, if you bite me, am I also unlucky? And then there's ...... In fact...... What do you need, you don't have to steal it, I'll find a way to get it for you with the big guy, you don't think about it, you have to think about it, I'm unlucky, can he still have a good life? ”
"It's verbose! Still not leaving? ”
The old imperial chef jumped up, snatched the clothes in his hand, and let him leave quickly, disturbing his sleep.
"Collect, put it away." Before leaving quietly, I told the old chef that the clothes were really deadly, and they couldn't be put away casually.
"Bang"
The last sentence was quietly shut out of the door by the old imperial chef.
"If it weren't for myself, I wouldn't bother to care where you put it." He muttered quietly and walked back.
When I went back, it was almost dawn, I pushed open the door, and as I thought quietly, Yun Yun got up early and stared at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"Where have you been?" Yun Yun asked.
Quietly looking at Yunyun's eyes, I suspect that this woman may not have slept well all night, and has been waiting here for her to come back, this kind of concern all the time, quietly really can't accept it.
"Ping's father-in-law's order, let me send soup to Chongfu after I came back, I didn't go out of the door of the imperial dining room, the director of Shangshi hopes that I can make a roasted whole sheep, such a trust, I can't live up to it, I have to study it in advance, this research is one night, and now I'm going to die."
Quietly already knew the identity of Yun Yun, and spoke carefully.
"You spent one night in the Imperial Dining Room?" Yun Yun looked a little disbelieving.
"I don't have to sleep tonight, I have to stay up in the imperial dining room, why don't you come with me, save me alone in it, I'm scared half to death, I heard it at night...... Wow! ”
Quietly widened his eyes, deliberately stretched out his hand, and shook it violently in front of Yunyun's eyes, Yunyun was startled, took a step back, and asked timidly.
"What's the snort?"
"What kind of animal is eighty, I don't know which lady in the palace has a cat." Laughing quietly, he yawned and went inside.
Yunyun's face is still white, she hasn't slept well, she doesn't seem to hear anything, she was whispered in the clouds, a little dazed for a while, but she kept looking out last night, only staring at the door of the imperial dining room, but didn't go to the dining room to see, I really don't know if what was whispered is true.
After a long moment of being stunned, she thought of something again and chased to the door of the inner room.
"Sister Chunxiang, if you want to make a roasted whole sheep, you must lack manpower to help, why don't I follow you." Yun Yun's face changed, and he squeezed out a silly smile.
"That depends on the arrangement of Father-in-law."
After whispering this, she was really sleepy, she turned over and fell asleep, and she didn't listen to a word of what Yunyun said next.
Although she was very sleepy, she could only sleep for a short time, and when she quietly entered the imperial dining room, she found that everyone was looking at her strangely, and she didn't know what was going on.
Father-in-law Hai walked over with a cold face and whispered quietly.
"How did you come? This decent and capable chef was asked by Mao Dasong, so he left a few cooks for you, this roasted whole sheep is not a job that one person can do, you girl, look shrewd, at this time, how can you be late? ”
After being reminded by Father-in-law Hai, I quietly found that the chef-level manpower of several dining rooms was standing by Mao Dasong's side, and only a few who were usually honest and stupid were left to her.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I have a lot of strength, I can handle it." Quietly glanced at Mao Dasong, this guy was going to fight against her, and she must win him this time.
"Okay, you tell the assistant chef to inform me how to kill the sheep in the livestock garden and how to deal with them, and when necessary, they can be delivered."
Xiao Haizi finished explaining, shook his head and walked away, he felt that Li Chunxiang's temper was too good, he was bullied by Mao Dasong like this at this time, and he was afraid that there would be no chance to roast the whole sheep this time.
"Women don't want to find someone to marry, and they have to fight with men in the middle of nowhere, I think you can go where you can go?"
Mao Dasong walked over and whispered coldly.
There's no next, let's take a look at something else
The blind cat crashes into a dead mouse
Mao Dasong snorted coldly and arrogantly, pursed his lips, and walked over from the quiet side, this guy's legs were not good, he was limping, and he was a little embarrassed. Love to see the flowers
After Mao Dasong walked over, he and the other cooks whispered something, so they went to another dining room together, thinking that some details of making roasted whole sheep should be avoided quietly, and they didn't want her to eavesdrop on her.
"I really don't know, what else can she do to roast a whole sheep, don't roast it with her hands." The last guy walked out and threw down the sentence.
Standing in the dining room with his mouth pursed quietly, he found that in addition to himself, there were only a few cooks left, and the dining room was much cleaner, but it was hard to say whether this roasted whole sheep could be successful.
"Chef Li, I just came, and I haven't cooked yet." One of the cooks whispered.
"Me too...... Probably won't help you much. The other also said dejectedly.
Looking at the state of these people, I quietly knew Mao Dasong's intentions, but it didn't matter, even if she was the only one left, this roasted whole sheep would have to be made.
The taste of sheep is not in the number of people, but in the craftsmanship and accuracy.
"Okay, the rest of you, who are willing to help me, stay, and if you don't want to, you can rest for a day, I won't force it."
As soon as he whispered this, a few more went out, leaving less than four people, and two who didn't know where to go, stupidly clubbing there, the situation was really a little embarrassing, it seems that everyone really has little confidence in Li Chunxiang.
After looking around, her last gaze was fixed on Jade's body, she didn't leave, but stood there with her mouth pouted, not knowing what grievances she had suffered, her eyes were red.
"Aren't you going to follow Chef Mao?" Quietly asked strangely.
"He doesn't want me, I'll follow you!"
