At the beginning, Zhongli had already lowered his posture low enough, so the people who were originally ready to embarrass Zhongli looked at me, I looked at you, and changed their respective attitudes.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhong Gongzi, you are the person sent by the emperor to be in charge of the New Year's banquet, so we naturally have to listen to you. ”

Hard doesn't come soft, one of the imperial chefs smiled and arched his hand towards Zhongli.

Others chimed in.

Of course, Zhongli didn't understand what they wanted to do, but it was human nature.

It was he who suddenly broke into their territory, and it was he who snatched what should have been their responsibility.

"Don't dare! Can't! You are all chefs in the imperial dining room, and the grass people may only have one or two dishes that have won the eyes of nobles, so ......"

"So Zhong Gongzi dares to show everyone a hand? After all, we are also curious about what kind of dishes Zhong Gongzi can attract nobles, aren't we? ”

Before Zhongli could speak, he heard someone make it difficult.

He smiled encouragingly, knowing in his heart that this kind of thing would come sooner or later, so he bowed his hand to them.

"Since everyone intends to teach the grass people, Zhongli should do his best."

All the people in the imperial dining room gathered around, ready to see what Zhongli did.

You know, almost every one of them has their own specialty dishes, all of them serve the nobles, Zhongli can win the blue eyes of the nobles with his own dishes, as long as they study hard, what else is Zhongli?

Zhongli smiled at them, picked out a large radish from a pile of dishes, and then picked out a fruit knife in the surprised eyes of everyone and began to carve the radish back and forth.

The speed of her men's movements makes people can't help but be jaw-dropping.

"Zhong Gongzi, what are you going to do?"

Someone asked.

Is it just to carve turnips?

A random carpenter from outside the palace could carve the radish according to their ideas.

Zhongli smiled lightly.

When the radish in his hand gradually took shape, everyone slowly lost their words.

Where is this flower, it is clearly a dragon.

Zhongli looked at their stunned expressions, then brought another piece of radish that he had just chopped, and his men quickly shredded them.

This knife work was practiced by him in the past few years when he had nothing to do at home, and he may be a little unskilled at first, but then it became faster and faster, and more and more skilled.

"Are you going to make a turnip feast?"

The imperial chef next to him snorted coldly and glanced at Zhongli with disdain.

The nobles in the palace used to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, abalone and ginseng wings, Zhongli wanted to fool others with these, a little too much, right? And if you're not careful, it's easy to lose your head.

Although this radish is available in the imperial dining room, it is often used as a side dish, and there are few like Zhongli.

Zhongli hooked the corners of his lips, did not open his mouth, but made people burn the fire, after getting into the water, began to sprinkle all kinds of spices into it, and then waited until the water boiled, and then put the freshly shredded radish into the pot.

In the process, Zhongli quickly took a carrot, carved it into the shape of a flower, and waited quietly.

When the hour was almost up, Zhongli walked over, and cautiously took out a bag of things from his bosom and put them in the pot. 、

"Wait!"

Someone shouted and stopped Zhongli's movements.

Zhongli frowned and looked at the other party, but saw that the other party sneered and stood up.

"Zhong Gongzi, could you please explain to the big guy, what is the thing in your hand?"

Zhongli looked at the chicken essence in his hand, and then at everyone's grim expressions, and finally knew that he was still careless.

"It's just a secret recipe for the next one, chicken essence. If you don't dislike it, you can give it to you another day. ”

"Hmph, don't you know that you have to be searched when you come in? In addition, all the dishes made in the Imperial Dining Room were purchased through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those like you are going to be beheaded. ”

The man snorted coldly and pointed directly at the eunuch beside him.

"Go, call Gonggong Xu from the Internal Affairs Office to come over. These things made by Zhong Gongzi, our family doesn't dare to let the nobles use them! ”

The strange sound of yin and yang made Zhongli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, the first wave of troubles has come!

It's just that the little eunuch hasn't walked out yet, so he immediately retreats back.

They turned their heads curiously to look over, and saw Zhao Shan'er pacing slowly and leisurely in a palace dress, but when she saw Zhongli, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards Zhongli in surprise.

"Zhong Gongzi, I thought my mother was lying to me! So you're really here! What are you doing standing here? What should I do, what should I do? ”

It's just that when she got to Zhongli's side, she suddenly found that everyone was standing next to her, and she couldn't help but snort coldly with a pretty face, and scattered everyone.

My father-in-law, who was just about to ask someone to call someone, was in a nervous mood at this time.

It seems that the Seventh Princess and Zhongli have a good relationship!

It was only after being reminded by the Seventh Princess that everyone suddenly knelt down and saluted to the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess waved her hand casually, and all her current attention was on Zhongli's body.

"Zhong Gongzi, what are you doing here? You don't know, the things I brought back from you before were all said to be delicious! ”

She smiled and spoke, but Zhongli smiled helplessly.

Don't know yourself? What did she not know?

If it weren't for the Seventh Princess, who praised themselves in front of the emperor, would they be here now?

But what needs to be said still has to be said.

"The emperor and the mother's daughter, they like it."

In order to change the topic, Zhongli quickly explained to the seventh princess the dishes he was cooking.

"This is a recipe I developed before, called Yancai."

Zhongli hesitated for a moment, and then arched his hand towards Zhao Shan'er.

"Please Your Royal Highness the princess, the grass people don't know the rules of the palace, and they bring the seasonings made by the grass people themselves, just to make the taste of the imperial food to a higher level. I also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to forgive her sins. ”

The Seventh Princess looked at Zhongli with some curiosity, she had seen Zhongli's powder-like seasonings before, and she only felt wonderful at this time.

Ordinary things with a little seasoning in them make them taste great.

"What kind of seasoning, is it still the same as when you barbecued meat before?"

Zhongli shook his head, took out the things in his hand, and handed them to the Seventh Princess.

"The princess can have someone check it out."

The reason why Zhongli is so sure is because this thing is made by himself, and it has never passed through other people's hands, and there is no possibility of being dropped.

Zhao Shan'er originally liked Zhongli, why wouldn't she believe him?

But everyone watched, and she was also willing to cooperate with Zhongli to go through the motions.

"Okay, come on, let's see if this thing is a seasoning."

It's just like a recipe for cooking, some things are not passed down by others, and letting them see it is really just to look at it and taste it.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, after trying to do nothing, Zhongli put the seasoning into the dish and served it to Zhao Shan'er with both hands in a white porcelain bowl.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you have a taste."

Zhao Shan'er stared at the jade dragon flying in the bowl with wide eyes, crystal clear, and the soup below was also fragrant, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"It smells so good!"

It's just that after tasting it, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but give Zhongli a thumbs up.

"It's delicious, but it's spicy."

Zhongli smiled and nodded, this kind of thing should be a little spicy and sour.

This is a characteristic of swallow cuisine.

In fact, this is the first dish in the water mat she ate on a business trip to Luoyang in modern times.

It's delicious to eat, and the most important thing is that they're just made with simple turnips.

People say that they eat radish in winter and ginger in summer.

Radish has the effect of excreting intestinal toxins, so when she saw radish today, she spontaneously remembered it.

"Zhong Gongzi, did you do this too? It really looks good, like it's real. ”

Zhongli couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and nodded slightly.

Zhao Shan'er didn't care about anything else.

Let Zhongli make two more copies for his father and mother.

In order to make it less monotonous, Zhongli made a few side dishes again, and made all the soup slices and small crispy pork in the water mat, which was sent over.

It's just that, unlike Yan Cai, she asked her to do the other two dishes, and she just stood by and commanded.

Zhao Shan'er looked at Zhongli like this, and couldn't help but look at her beautifully.

She'd never seen anyone standing in the kitchen and still maintaining their demeanor.

And in the process, the entire people in the imperial dining room were stunned by Zhongli's behavior.

After all, if it weren't for accepting apprentices, no one would show their recipes to others in such a grand manner.

And Zhongli not only showed, but also told them one by one, what is the use of this kind of thing, how to put it in this order, and the mutual restraint in the food, and what dishes to match and what furnishings, etc.

Seeing the colorful and fragrant meals being born from Zhongli's hands, some of them were impressed by Zhongli's methods, while others scoffed at them and secretly cursed Zhongli for being a fool.

There is a way to be a disciple of the church, and the master is starved to death.

Isn't that the case in their industry?

Zhongli didn't think too much about it, after all, no matter how many dishes were created by people, and just today's Hui Bafang was enough to make him a lot of money.

The most important thing is that these things are so delicious thanks to the chicken essence made by themselves.

She secretly planned in her heart that when she got out of the palace, she would probably find a new buyer for the chicken essence.

The Imperial Study.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was accompanying the emperor to review the folds, when he saw a father-in-law come to report the food sent by the seventh princess to the emperor.

The emperor was relieved to let people in.

It's just that, looking at the delicate presentation and the soaring jade dragon, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the comer.

"Who did this?"
