Seeing that Chen Xiuli and Qin Baiting were a little nervous, the people who came were either members of the court or royal relatives, Hua Manxi knew what to ask and what not to ask, nodded, and hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Chen Xiuli only deliberately said that he wanted lighter food, and he didn't know if it was because of the age of the person who came, or because of his preference.

Hua Manxi stood on the stove and wondered for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Chen Xiuli also told Wang Shishi, and Wang Shishi sent Yao Xiaofeng to help.

"If you want to be lighter, what do you Kyoto people eat on weekdays?" Hua Manxi glanced at Yao Xiaofeng, since she was injured by the hot porridge, she has not been able to take charge of the spoon herself in the past few days, fortunately, Uncle Zhao's injury medicine is easy to use, otherwise she will definitely leave a scar.

"It's not good to say, if it's an ordinary person, it's just pickles and pickles, steamed bread and porridge with less oil, but if it's a powerful family, it's hard to say, these powerful people, what haven't they eaten? Some love to be particularly novel, while others only eat the two things they like back and forth, which is very tricky. Yao Xiaofeng sighed.

"In this way, Lord Chen and Gongzi Qin didn't say anything about their age characteristics, it's really difficult to prescribe the right medicine." Hua Manxi glanced at the kitchen, and said indifferently, "Since this is the case, let's do a few more, if you don't like it, just change it." ”

She said this, but Yao Xiaofeng glanced at her helplessly, Chef Hua is a person from a small place, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

If you don't like it, change it? How can it be so simple, in the eyes of those people, a cook like them, a life, but like an antworm.

"It's better to be cautious, Kyoto people like to eat pickles to eat, and if you don't have a good appetite, there will always be a small plate of pickles when you eat clear porridge." Yao Xiaofeng said, "Pickles, do you know how to make them?" I know a few things, but I'm not as good at cooking as you. ”

"Then you can help cook some porridge, just cook the porridge, I will also make a few pickles, a few pickles, and two hot dishes, it should be about the same." Hua Manxi said that, and began to pick materials.

In fact, pickles, pickles, and pickles all take time to pickle to be delicious, but now things are urgent, and they can only do two to deal with it first.

She first found a cucumber and planned to make a court gherkin.

This dish is not difficult to make, and the taste is also very popular, but this appearance can be a little higher, which requires the use of plating techniques.

Hua Manxi first removed the head and tail of the cucumber and removed the seeds, and then cut it into slices of uniform thickness, which resembled the petal shape of a lotus flower.

After cutting, Hua Manxi mixed the cucumbers with honey, sugar, light soy sauce and vinegar and water, and then let the box of pickled cucumbers be taken to the ice cellar and put in the ice bucket to chill, and took it out after half an hour.

To take out the cucumber, simply arrange it in the shape of a lotus flower and put a little stamen in the center to decorate.

Then, Hua Manxi began to make pickled mustard skin.

Cut the refreshing mustard greens into shreds, mustard greens are not a rare thing, ordinary people will also have pickles, there are ready-made ones in Wangfu, Huamanxi took some out, and then washed them repeatedly, this kind of vegetable pickled for a long time, you need to wash it several times.

When it was pickled, it was put with spicy seeds and ingredients, it tasted crisp and refreshing, the fragrance was rich, sour and spicy, Hua Manxi cut it into thin strips, and then put some sesame oil, and nothing was added.

Immediately afterwards, she made another osmanthus kohlrabi, this osmanthus kohlrabi is not able to be made freshly, but she took a clever child, used pickled kohlrabi, washed it, and then reproduced into osmanthus sauce repeatedly kneaded, stirred, so that this kohlrabi absorbs the aroma of osmanthus.

After the pickle was almost done, Yao Xiaofeng's porridge was also cooked, and Hua Manxi thought about stir-frying two more hot dishes with porridge.

One is pepper-flavored small yellow croaker, and the other is fried double crispy.

This pepper-flavored small yellow croaker, first marinate the cleaned small yellow croaker into the flavor, then add egg white, corn starch and fry it together, fry it fragrantly and sprinkle some pepper and salt, this dish is crispy and fragrant, salty and pleasant.

The most important thing is the time and heat, one more point will be old, not brittle, if it is one point less, it will be uncooked.

However, this dish is also a famous dish, Hua Manxi has not made it a hundred times but has ninety times, which can be said to be easy.

This pork belly and chicken gizzard are paired with green and red peppers and onions, which are crispy and delicious, steaming, colorful, and fragrant.

In the end, Hua Manxi also made a cold preserved egg.

This preserved egg was also made after she came to Wang's Mansion, and she was originally going to go to the restaurant, but before the time came, this distinguished guest was good and tasted the first bite of freshness.

This preserved egg is delicious, greasy and refreshing, and has a long aftertaste, she still doesn't believe it, no matter how expensive the guest is, he has never eaten such a good thing.

She took a few freshly preserved eggs and boiled them for a few minutes, then cut each one into four parts and put them in quarters, then mixed with minced garlic, spicy seeds, wild salt, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, a little sugar and other seasonings, and poured them on top of the preserved eggs.

Soon after the dish was ready, Chen Xiuli and they sent someone to urge them, and it was Wang Shishi who sent them.

"Oh my God, have you done a good job, that person is not small, he is full of style, I think he is either the prince or the first assistant prime minister, tsk, that momentum is really not covered." Wang Shishi said with a look of envy, "If we can take this high branch, tsk, will business still be worried?" To be the first emperor merchant, isn't that a matter of opening your mouth! ”

"Okay, okay, you think it's pretty beautiful, why don't you want to think about it, if someone treats you for a crime of ill-mouthedness, you even have to lose the title of the richest man in Shishan County, the more powerful you are, the more dangerous it is." Hua Manxi glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to serve the food." ”

"This dim sum is made by Chef Yao, it is so beautiful, like a flower, if people ask me, I don't know what to say, Chef Yao will take someone to serve it." Wang Shishi looked at a few dim sum made by Yao Xiaofeng and exclaimed.

Only then did Hua Manxi see that Yao Xiaofeng really made dim sum, the same yam cake in the shape of a lotus, the same pea yellow, and the same lotus seed cake.

"Then let Chef Yao go, Chef Yao is a person who has seen the world." Hua Manxi smiled.

Yao Xiaofeng couldn't, so he had to lead someone to serve the food.

Chen Xiuli, Qin Baiting and others were already waiting in the dining room with the guests, Yao Xiaofeng knew the rules, lowered his head, and slowly walked towards the dining room with a tray in his hand.

However, before she could enter the door, she heard a nightmarish voice coming from the door: "Chen County Order, you have done a really good job here." ”

She has been smart since she was a child, and she has always had some unforgettable talents, and she recognized this voice as soon as she heard it, and immediately turned pale with fright, and the snack she was holding in her hand was knocked over.

If it weren't for this person, why would she have traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to this small place for refuge?

She was holding several kinds of snacks in her hand, all of which were knocked over, and the movement was naturally big, Qin Baiting was alert, and immediately opened the door from the inside, glanced at the mess all over the ground, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Xiaofeng hurriedly knelt down with a puff, turned his back and hurriedly cleaned up the debris and tea residues on the ground, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, master, my hand slipped and knocked over the dim sum, I'll go change some." ”

She was so anxious that she didn't dare to stop the movements of her hands, but she was more and more prone to make mistakes in her busyness, and the broken saucer was particularly sharp, and she slashed her hand fiercely, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Hurt, girl." Seeing that the blood was still gushing out, Qin Baiting frowned and squatted down, clasping Yao Xiaofeng's wrist, "I have good wound medicine, you can go in and bandage it." ”

"No, no! No more! Yao Xiaofeng had already packed up his things, and when he heard that he was going to take himself in to bandage, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he pushed Qin Baiting hard, and ran to the kitchen as if he was flying.

Qin Baiting's hands were also stained with her blood, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it, frowned, and said, "As for it, the master is not very ugly, right?" ”

He looked at Yao Xiaofeng's fleeing back as if he was being chased by a tiger, and after muttering a word, he withdrew his gaze and said to the other maids who were still waiting in place: "Let's go in, the movement is smaller." ”

The maids hurriedly lowered their eyebrows and cautiously brought the porridge dishes in their hands to the table.

The boiled rice porridge in a casserole quenches your thirst and is steaming, followed by three kinds of pickles, a cold preserved egg, a steaming fried double crispy, and a small yellow croaker that looks very good.

"Lord Wang, Lord Shen, please. In the countryside, there is no hospitality, and I hope the two of you don't mind. Chen Xiuli's expression was indifferent, but his attitude was very respectful.

These two people are no one else, one is the younger brother who has the best relationship with the crown prince of the current dynasty, the ninth prince Nan Jinxing, and the other is the most trusted minister of the emperor.

Shen Shao is the disciple of today's prime minister, the prime minister is old, only a false name, rarely enters the court, and all affairs have been handed over to Shen Shao to handle, known as the little prime minister.

People like Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao came over, they were definitely not like Qin Baiting's group of people who traveled the mountains and rivers, they must have something important.

But Chen Xiuli is just a small county order, obviously not up to the status of talking to them, they can deign to come to Wang's Mansion to eat, it is only for the sake of Qin Baiting's face.

But since the person has already come, the face has been given, and naturally it is necessary to give enough, Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao politely exchanged a few words, then picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the food.

However, when they ate that cold preserved egg, both of them were a little more satisfied.

"This thing, shaped like an egg, but the taste, but not a trace of egg? It's ingenious. "Nan Jinxing is very good at eating, and there are only a handful of cooks who can get a clever compliment from him.

"The prince is right, and the lower officials also think it is very ingenious, I don't know who has such a sensitive mind? The official wants to know how this delicacy is made, can Chen County Order introduce it? After Shen Shao's words, he sounded like he was flattering Nan Jinxing, however, his eyes were deep, but he couldn't see a trace of emotion.
