Chapter 224: Hidden Mystery Chicken and Fish

Xu Yang was simply speechless when he was questioned by these subordinates who usually saw him like a mouse and a cat, didn't they all hold their stomachs for that meal last night? Didn't these people blow up the cooking skills of this flower chef last night? Why, there is not much vegetable meat today, so I dislike it?

Or is it that Chef Hua was very unhappy that he was threatened by himself, so he deliberately hid it and fooled everyone with all these things?

Xu Yang wondered, after Hua Manxi divided the vegetables and meat, he dug out the mud chicken that was steaming hot, let it cool for a while, knocked the mud off, and served it whole.

As soon as she brought out the chicken and fish, the hall that had heard some complaints was instantly filled with joy.

"Hehe, it turns out that there are still good things, I'll just say, Xu Jiaowei is not a stingy person, since he said that he invited us to eat delicious food, how could he break his promise?" A soldier hurriedly said something for Xu Yang.

"That's right, Xu Jiaowei really has a heart, and he invited this little lady to come up early in the morning to cook for us, and the little lady has worked hard." Seeing that the flowers were full of beautiful and gentle, some soldiers couldn't help but offer a courteous saying, "Cooking on the fire must be very tiring, right?" The little lady's meal yesterday really made our brothers feel comfortable, with such skills, why didn't the little lady go to Beijing to choose the imperial kitchen! ”

Hua Manxi smiled at him, his voice was gentle and calm, and he said quietly: "Don't hide it from this eldest brother, I went to Beijing to choose the imperial chef this time." ”

"Haha, so that's the case, no wonder the craftsmanship is so good, so let's do it, little lady, we are also in Beijing, it is better to follow us, take care of each other, if you go to Beijing, you can't choose the imperial chef, so find a place in Kyoto to open a small restaurant, with the help of our brothers, keep you to make money." The little brother patted his chest again and reassured.

"Thank you for the kindness of this big brother, Manxi has thanked you." Hua Manxi still said politely, she spoke, but the movements of her hands did not stop, and she lifted the layer of brownish-green banana leaves wrapped in the chicken, revealing a fragrant, steaming whole chicken underneath.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, how is this done, why is it so fragrant?" The sergeants below stared intently at the smooth-skinned, attractively colored chicken, and almost drooled.

"This is called flower chicken, the method is to marinate the chicken first, then wrap it in banana leaves, then wrap it in mud, and after it is cooked over a charcoal fire, knock off the mud." Hua Manxi said as he took out the dagger and gently slashed the chicken's belly.

Everyone was already hanging three feet, and they didn't take their eyes off the chicken at all, so everyone could see that the sharp dagger in Hua Manxi's hand gently cut open the chicken's belly, and there was actually a fish hidden in it!

"Why is there a fish in the belly of the chicken! Wow! The lowly man exclaimed.

"This is called chicken wrapped fish, this fish is also marinated, first stuffed into the chicken belly, there are peppers in the fish belly, chopped onions, after cutting the fish belly, pour out the contents of the contents, and eat it together with the fish, it has a different taste." Hua Manxi said in a colorful voice, and cut the belly of the fish, and sure enough, it was wrapped in steaming peppers and onions and other spices.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a practice, and they were overjoyed, and they couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks and were ready to move.

"This piece of meat is delicious, too! I've never eaten such delicious meat! "Some people who are in a hurry can't wait for the chicken and fish for a long time, and have already eaten the button meat in their bowls first.

"Uh-huh! It's really delicious! This sauce is mixed with rice, and it almost made me swallow my tongue! Another chimed in.

Hearing them say this, everyone couldn't bear it, and began to taste the meat, and when they took a bite, they felt that the meat was fat and thin, fat was not greasy, thin was not firewood, the taste was rich, and the layers were clear, even the sauce dipped in green vegetables was not sweet and delicious, not to mention that the ordinary steamed rice mixed with this sauce tasted delicious and salty.

The roast chicken and roast fish here are separated, except for Xu Yang who brought one upstairs to the prince, and the remaining three were simply snatched.

"This chicken even has a fragrance to the bones, it's really fragrant, it's so fragrant, Lao Tzu doesn't read much, and he can't say anything else to praise."

"This is called fragrant skin and smooth meat, fragrant through the bone marrow, cool, smooth and delicious chicken, crispy and elastic chicken skin, and this fish head, tender, juicy, spicy and delicious, really delicious in the world-" Another petty official hurriedly snatched a chicken leg and praised it.

Seeing that they were all quite satisfied, someone in the hall looked gloomy, and it was the butler who occupied the stove for half a day.

How could he have imagined that he had specially instructed the cook to cook some delicate and tedious food, and occupied the stove for a whole morning, and boiled and stewed it, and brought it out, which was not comparable to the food that the little girl had made with mud and firewood!

The second-grade master smelled the real fragrance coming from the opposite side, and the insects were very greedy, looking at the clear soup in front of him, he had no appetite, and he really wanted to pick up a bone they threw down.

Hua Manxi is not a soft persimmon who recognizes people, it just depends on whether she wants to care about it, but today, the housekeeper is really too deceitful, if she doesn't fight back, they really think they are muddy!

She and Wang Shishi didn't have a good appetite when they were in a hurry, and the stewed duck they ate last night was too greasy, so they only ate some snacks today, and Father-in-law Bao ate with them.

Those sergeants were all real people, and when they saw that Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi were only drinking boiled water and eating dry snacks, they couldn't help asking: "Little chef, you have worked so hard, why don't you eat?" The son of our family is not a person who treats people harshly, come, hurry up and eat a chicken leg, I will keep it for you. ”

"Don't, you eat, I'm not very hungry, but my stomach is not very comfortable, I wanted to make some porridge to eat, but the stove was occupied by others, so I could only eat some snacks and boil water." Hua Manxi hurriedly waved his hand and pushed away.

"Someone has the stove occupied? How did you make this dish? The sergeant asked, frowning.

"Didn't I just say this chicken wrapped fish? The meat is fried in a small pot on a small stone stove, and the vegetables are blanched in water, so the sauce is mixed and eaten, and if there is a stove, I will not make it so simple. Hua Manxi said truthfully.

"That's right, if this chicken enters the stove, there must be thousands of other kinds of fancy, our family Manxi made spicy chicken, that is called a spicy and delicious, keep you to eat two more bowls of rice, as well as the original three-cup chicken, rich in color, tender taste of yellow stewed chicken, or make a refreshing and delicious white cut chicken, or a salt-baked chicken with smooth bones, or make a unique taste of soy sauce chicken, mushroom stewed chicken, which is not better than this roasted dry beggar chicken? There is also this fish, although it can still be eaten, but if it is full of rivers and serious to do, spicy boiled fish with your sweat and tears, sour and spicy sauerkraut fish, braised fish, steamed fish, these are common things, the sweet and sour pine nut fish, comparable to the sweet and sour fish of the imperial diet, you must not have tasted it, four fish, each fish is the same, it is better than only eating grilled fish. Wang Shishi didn't think it was a big deal, and added oil and vinegar to say, "There is also this pork belly, although the button meat is delicious, but there is no condiment, it is to add some taro slices, dried plum vegetables are steamed and eaten together, it is even more soft and glutinous, of course, the pork belly is really to be made, or the Dongpo meat with shiny skin is the most delicious, not greasy at all, even a girl like me can eat a few large pieces!" Well, the sizzling barbecue, after the sizzling oil, it is eaten with lettuce, and it has a different taste, but unfortunately, you can't eat it-"

As soon as Wang Shishi said this, the soldiers who had eaten with relish suddenly paused, and their eyes turned green.

There's so much delicious food in this, they haven't even tasted it!

"Chef Hua, you say, who is occupying it and not letting you use the stove! Dare to follow our family, they are afraid that they are not tired of life, so they will call the people of the post station! One of the official-looking men slammed the table and said in a rough voice.

"Master, military master, this master, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not small, it's not a small fault, the small one also does things according to the rules, the adults brought domestic slaves, and they are family members, this girl is not your family, and she has no official position, it stands to reason that they should use the kitchen first." The little official of the post station crawled over and whispered, "It's not easy for everyone to go out, but the adults will forgive you!" ”

"I want to see who is so bold as to dare to grab the kitchen with the prince! Say, who is it! The military master was furious, and slammed a small table next to him, and the table clicked and broke two pieces.

"It's him, it's themβ€”" Seeing this, the little official at the post station was afraid that he would not be able to do well, so he could only point to the second-grade master and the housekeeper tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice.

The second-grade master did not move like a mountain, still eating his meal unhurriedly, and even the housekeeper did not panic in the slightest.

Seeing this, the military master snorted coldly, slapped their table with a snap, shook the food on the table three times, and said coldly: "I don't know what the adults are about, they are so arrogant!" ”

The second-rank senior member paused his chopsticks and said slowly: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, the official Zhao Yi was a waiter in the military department at the time, and his father was a famous imperial doctor in Beijing, Zhao Renyi." I don't know where you come from? ”

The name of Zhao Renyi, the imperial historian, is indeed loud, he dares to act, his sleeves are clean, and he only admonishes grievances, but the military department-

The military department is the power in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Nan Jinyan, and since he is a squire of the military department, he is naturally the prince's person.

Of course, the reason why this Zhao Yi dares to be so fearless naturally has another identity, the Zhao family, but the queen mother's mother's family!
