Chapter 170: Not Half a Brush

With all the pots and stoves in place, Qiao Jinyu didn't waste any more time, rolled up her sleeves and tied her apron and prepared to work.

Regarding Han Chengjin's dietary taboos, she had already asked Gonggong Tao.

In terms of ingredients, Hancheng Jin has no special taboos, and basically eats everything.

As for the taste, whether it is light or spicy, as long as it is done well, Hancheng Jin can accept it.

The palace can be said to be the richest place in a country, and the people who live in it are very picky about food, so the ingredients are particularly rich.

Qiao Jinyu looked outside the cage where the poultry were forbidden and found that there were pheasants and ducks and other living creatures, and there were abalone and sea cucumbers and other aquatic products in the pool.

After walking around the cage and the pool for a while, she asked the four eunuchs assigned to her by Gonggong Tao to fish out the sea cucumbers and abalone from the pool, and let them clean them first.

Later, she picked up all kinds of ingredients and condiments she wanted from the warehouse where the vegetables were stacked, and also found a crockpot for the stew, and asked several people to wash it together for later use.

The other imperial chefs who were busy in the imperial dining room saw that she was making people steal, but they didn't do it themselves, and their eyes were full of suspicion.

Do you know if you can do it?

I won't do anything to make a mess of the place here, and return the stove to them.

Because Gonggong Tao was next to him, these imperial chefs only dared to express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

After sneaking a few glances at her, he withdrew his gaze and concentrated on his own work.

So she never noticed that the imperial chefs were suspicious and dissatisfied with her.

When the vegetables are ready, she spreads the ingredients and seasonings into the crockpot layer by layer, then adds the existing stock, seals it with lotus leaves, and puts the crockpot on the stove and cooks it over high heat.

Several little eunuchs couldn't help but be a little confused when they saw her put all the ingredients into the crockpot.

What kind of novelty is this?

Will the food be delicious?

Princess, she can't cook at all, so what are you going to make a pot of stew?

Tut! At the beginning, looking at her posture, I thought she had a few brushes, but I didn't expect that there were no half brushes.

The round-faced little eunuch looked at the crockpot and looked at Qiao Jinyu, but he couldn't help it and asked.

"Princess, what's the name of this dish you're cooking?"

"This is called Mantan Incense."

Qiao Jinyu looked at the crockpot, and her thoughts couldn't help but fly to the modern era.

This dish was taught to her by a master when she used to work in the hotel.

The old master's family has been a chef for generations, and the ancestor is the imperial chef in the palace, specializing in serving the queen mother and the emperor.

It's a pity that after the cooking skills were passed on to him, there was no way to continue to pass them on.

Neither his children nor his grandchildren wanted to be a chef.

I don't like the trouble of cooking, especially when handling meat, which smells of meat all over my hands.

The old master didn't want to pass on the craftsmanship of more than ten generations to him, so he taught her the practice of full altar incense for free.

After she arrived in the Southern Qi Kingdom, she had never made this dish because of the uneven ingredients.

Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I would have the opportunity to do it again, and this kind of mood is really incomprehensible to others.

"Full of incense? What a strange name, never heard of before. The round-faced little eunuch frowned and muttered.

"There are so many strange things in the world, and there are many names of dishes you haven't heard of." Qiao Jinyu smiled.

"Okay, I don't need any help here, you all go about your own business, just leave someone to watch the fire for me."

In the end, the round-faced eunuch stayed, and the other three eunuchs went on other errands.
