Chapter 122: The Legendary Chili Sauce
Since Zhao Qi and them had been invited, Lin Qingqing also ordered someone to send a worship post to the Li Mansion, and with the addition of Aunt Li, the number of them could barely form a table.
In the next time, Lin Qingqing went to the kitchen from time to time to make the base material, I have to say that the palace is still convenient, the special copper pot she asked for was sent the next morning, looking at this familiar shape, Lin Qingqing was very satisfied.
The pot is there, and the next thing is the production of the base, Lin Qingqing himself loves to eat spicy pots the most, but considering that Kuangyan is the first time they tried it, they didn't put too many chili peppers, and they were going to boil another clear soup to make it convenient for Aunt Li and them.
Daming's chili pepper is not called chili, but called panguo, the red and glamorous ones are good-looking, but few people here will be practical, Lin Qingqing was very surprised when he found it before, the batch that he bought before had been dried by Aunt Li and took it out, and ordered the girls in the kitchen to crush it into pieces.
The cooks were very frightened of Lin Qingqing's arrival, how could such a luxurious identity come to such a dirty place in the kitchen, if His Royal Highness knew about it, they would definitely be blamed.
Lin Qingqing smiled, "It's okay, I guess you also know the origin of this imperial concubine, and you usually cook by yourself when your hands are itchy, not to mention that in your own kitchen, you will keep it secret for this imperial concubine, right?" ”
He winked mischievously as he spoke, and such a friendly tone suddenly eased the panicked atmosphere in the kitchen room.
The kitchen is now headed by Chef Liu, who used to make mutton soup, his appearance is not eye-catching, he is not tall, his cheeks are a little round, but his smile makes people feel very good.
"Grass folk Liu Ying pays a visit to the imperial concubine." Liu Yinggang wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Lin Qingqing, "Chef Liu doesn't need to be so polite, this imperial concubine liked the mutton soup you made before, and I have to ask you more if I have the chance." ”
"Don't dare! The princess doesn't want to torture the grass people! Liu Ying was so scared that even if she wanted to kneel, she was just a little cook, but she couldn't afford to be like this!
Ah Chun smiled on the side and said, "The princess really wants to learn, she has eaten several bowls of the mutton soup before!" ”
"Niangniang, there is still some mutton tonight, but it's too late to make mutton soup, I don't know if the braised mutton Niangniang likes it?" It was a great honor for the imperial concubine to like the dishes she cooked, Liu Ying said that she didn't dare, but she was still very happy in her heart.
Don't you want to hear from your diners about deliciousness?
Braised lamb? Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up, "If you can, then it will trouble Chef Liu, His Royal Highness will come back for dinner today and add more meat dishes." ”
Zhao Kuangyan is in the prime of life when he loves meat, and he will definitely like this braised mutton.
Liu Ying swore that "this is on the grass people!" ”
After finding all the ingredients, Lin Qingqing began to fry the chili sauce, and poured the ground fruit powder, garlic paste, and Sichuan pepper powder into the slightly bubbling hot oil, and suddenly a spicy smell spread throughout the kitchen!
It seemed that they had never smelled this smell, and several maids were choked so that their cheeks were red, and finally they couldn't stand it anymore and ran out of the kitchen, only daring to peek outside the house.
Liu Ying stopped chopping vegetables in her hand, sniffed carefully, and sneezed several times at first, but then she gradually became familiar, and felt that the smell was really good!
"What is the princess doing? I feel like I can't breathe! ”
"Huh? Have it? I don't think it tastes so good! ”
Lin Qingqing listened to the discussion of the people around her, the smile on her face did not decrease, she usually makes her own chili sauce at home, so she has long been accustomed to this smell, after stir-frying, she poured in a little soy sauce to enhance the flavor, and finally added white sesame seeds to make the chili sauce taste better.
Lin Qingqing wiped the sweat on his forehead and called, "Ah Chun, bring me the jar I cleaned before!" ”
"Hey! Here it comes! Ah Chun hurriedly ran over, holding a small brown jar in his hand, and after putting it down, he stayed away again, he really couldn't stand the smell.
Put the chili sauce into the can, Lin Qingqing took a closer look, it was spicy, and dipped some with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste, it may be a different variety, the spicy degree of the fruit here is okay, and there is an extra aroma, which is good for dipping.
Looking at the red and glamorous things in the jar, Liu Ying subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and somehow, she couldn't help but secrete liquid in her mouth when she smelled this smell.
The other cooks were the same, watching with blank eyes.
Lin Qingqing saw their intentions, so he took a bowl and dialed it out a little and handed it over, "Chef Liu, this is the chili sauce made by this imperial concubine herself, you can taste it and give some opinions or something." ”
The cooks took it thanks to Dale, each holding chopsticks in their hands, carefully dipping some into their mouths, and then sipping them carefully, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Wow! This tastes! ”
The one who is most obsessed with it is Liu Ying, who has a good tongue since he was a child, and has tasted many delicious snacks, and now it is the first time he has tasted something like this.
When you put it in your mouth, it is a fresh fragrance, and then it is swept by the spicy taste, and the aftertaste is a hot and scorching feeling!
The key is that even if his tongue can't stand it, he still eats the second bite, which can better reflect the wonderful taste in it, which is simply unstoppable!
Seeing their ecstatic expressions, Lin Qingqing covered his mouth and laughed, did he rely on chili sauce to conquer the chefs of the palace?
Zhao Kuangyan, who came back from outside, heard Bai Shuang say this, he didn't think about it, after all, Lin Qingqing's cooking skills are recognized, and he is not a good-looking person, since she likes it, let her do it!
On the contrary, Li Xiao, who came back with him, showed great interest.
"You said that eating that stuff makes people feel hot?"
Bai Shuang nodded, "I listened to what the chef said, and I ate a little bit and felt comfortable, and it was very hot." ”
Zhao Kuangyan, who was originally reading the letter, suddenly seemed to think of something, and whispered a few words: "Eating makes people feel hot?" ……”
Isn't this in line with the cruel weather in the Beiyi region?
It's extremely hot during the day, but it's extremely cold at night, if there is such a thing, wouldn't it be the subordinates who stayed behind in Beiyi...... After that, Kuang Yan didn't think about it anymore, because Ah Chun came to report that Lin Qingqing called him to have dinner together.
"Your Highness knows, I'll go over later."
"Yes, slave and maid retire!"
After Ah Chun left, Zhao Kuangyan and Li Xiao glanced at each other, and then laughed unabashedly.
"Your Highness, the imperial concubine is really a wonderful person!"
Lin Qingqing was sitting in front of the dresser at the moment combing her wet hair, and after she went to the kitchen to fry the chili sauce before, she felt the smell of oil smoke all over her body, so she asked Ah Chun to fetch water for her to wash up.
Ah Chun came back in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the room, he said, "Niangniang, Your Highness said that you will come soon, but when I went, I seemed to hear him and General Li Xiao talking about something, it seems to be the chili sauce you made today." ”
Lin Qingqing said 'um', it is not strange at all, this house is Kuangyan, and someone will naturally tell him what he has done, but he is not the kind of person with outdated concepts, he has been eating his own dishes in the village before.
"Madame!" It really said that Cao Cao Cao was here, and with an urgent call, Zhao Kuangyan strode into the house, and when he came to Lin Qingqing's side, he gave a kiss, and took the handkerchief to wipe her hair very smoothly.
For such a Zhao Kuangyan, Lin Qingqing has now behaved very calmly, put down the comb in his hand and called, "Ah Chun, Your Highness will set up a meal." ”
"Yes!" Ah Chun answered.
After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, he looked up at him in the mirror and asked, "What are you happy about today?" Looking at the smile in his eyes, he knew that it must be a good thing.
