Chapter 152: Peach Blossom Flowing Water Mandarin Fish Fat
"Let's go, let's go there and have a look" Lin Qingqing said that this is going to pass, and Ah Chun was a little confused in the back, "Imperial Princess, will you stop seeing the famous flowers?" ”
"There's nothing to see, and besides, I don't know how to flowers, I just came here to accompany Mrs. Liu, and when I saw this rippling lake, I suddenly wanted to eat fish."
There is a poem that says, 'Peach blossom flowing water mandarin fish fat'!
Ah Chun also came to the spirit, she didn't understand why so many people would rather spend money to see the boring flower party, and when she heard Lin Qingqing say that she wanted to eat fish, she volunteered to go and see it.
"The slave saw an old man holding a boat in front of him, and asked him if he had any fish for sale, but the princess, what should we do if we buy fish?" Ah Chun suddenly remembered this, they didn't bring anything with them when they left!
"It's okay, tell the old man to make a fire to make grilled fish to eat after it's done, if it doesn't work, just bring it back and let the chef of Tianyunlou deal with it." Lin Qingqing suddenly felt a little strange about himself, so anxious to eat fish?
Usually, the palace always cooks a meal of fish in two or three days, but today I don't know why I think like this...
"Hey, the slave is going to ask!"
Ah Chun ran away quickly with his skirt, and beckoned to the old man after reaching the river, and the man really came over with a boat and asked with a smile, "Girl, buy fish?" ”
Ah Chun was a little curious: "Uncle, how do you know that I came to buy fish?" ”
"Hahaha, this is not the old man's boasting, my mandarin fish here is the fattest, since the start of mass production, it has been supplied to Tianyunlou for cooking, these three days just happened to be held by the famous flower fair, so there is no need to send it, dozens have been sold this morning, and now there are a few slightly larger ones, how many do the girls want?"
Ah Chun waved his hand, and he was full of pride: "I want the two biggest!" My Emperor... Miss suddenly wanted to eat fish, so she asked me to buy it, can you help clean it up here? ”
"Naturally, you can, but it may take a while."
"It's okay, you can do it as soon as possible."
After a while, Ah Chun came excitedly carrying two mandarin fish measuring three or four catties, "Look, princess, the slave maid specially picked the biggest!" ”
Lin Qingqing looked at the mandarin fish that was still bouncing, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, I don't know what it tastes like, let's borrow it from the kitchen." ”
"Howler!"
The two of them rushed to the back kitchen, these days because they are all famous flowers, so there are not many cooks, originally did not agree to borrow, after all, some spices and the like in the kitchen are secret recipes, but then the golden steward came and gave the man a hard beating.
"Do you know who this lady is, this is the Seventh Imperial Princess, what secret recipe can people covet from you?" The golden steward grabbed the man's ear and scolded him, and after scolding, he smiled and welcomed Lin Qingqing and Ah Chun in.
"You can use the kitchen as you like, and if you need anything, just tell the little one."
Lin Qingqing nodded, "Then thank you for the gold steward,"
After going in, he looked at the seasonings on the stove, and the assistant chef who had been trained by the golden steward stood in the corner with a look of grievance, and saw Lin Qingqing looking at the seasonings and stopped talking, muttering in his heart Isn't this the Seventh Imperial Princess, how can he look at the seasonings and look similar to the cook?
After determining the seasoning he wanted to use, Lin Qingqing found a kitchen knife and cut the belly of the fish with knife flowers, so that it could be more flavorful, and then found a wooden basin to smear the inside and outside of the fish belly with some salt and marinate it.
Since there are two mandarin fish, Lin Qingqing is ready to make a mandarin fish with tomato sauce and braised mandarin fish, both of which can reflect the deliciousness of mandarin fish.
Let Ah Chun find some green beans and shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots and tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots cut into cubes, green beans blanched, tomatoes peeled and chopped into small dices, mandarin fish developed for ten minutes, wipe the water on it dry, put the oil in the pan, put in the forest slices and stir-fry until fragrant, and then put in the marinated mandarin fish and fry until golden on both sides.
The meat on the back of the mandarin fish that was cut off gradually fluffed up after it was put into the oil pot, and the aroma of the fish wafted out, because this mandarin fish was a little fat, so it had to be cut for a while, Lin Qingqing asked Ah Chun to watch the fire, and he started another pot to prepare the sauce.
Pour in the oil and stir-fry the shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots, add the soy sauce, salt and sugar, and then add the finely chopped diced tomatoes, this is because there is no tomato paste, if there is more convenient and faster to add the tomato sauce directly.
Stir-fry a few times and pour a small amount of water to boil the diced tomatoes, and then add the blanched green beans, and at the same time, Ah Chun has already fried the almost fried mandarin fish on a plate according to the instructions, and finally poured the fried sauce on top, the red and bright slice is paired with a few green green beans, which looks very good!
The little chef on the side looked at it, and the fragrant taste was not like the mandarin fish he had eaten before!
Ah Chun sniffed the fragrant mandarin fish, with the sweet and sour taste of the ketchup, his saliva was a little unstoppable!
"Don't look at it, come and deal with the mandarin fish!" Lin Qingqing prepared the sauce of braised mandarin fish at the other end, Ah Chun cut the onion and garlic, and another mandarin fish was put into the pot, fried until golden brown, added the stewed fish juice prepared by Lin Qingqing, poured some vinegar sauce, stewed slowly over low heat, added a little peppercorn grains before coming out of the pot, and finally simmered for a while.
This is a completely different taste from the mandarin fish in tomato sauce, the little chef smells fascinated, obviously this braised mandarin fish chefs often make it, but why is it not so fragrant?
After the two dishes were ready, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt a little out of breath, maybe he hadn't been so busy for a long time, and it was really easy to get sick with wealth after resting at home for a long time!
Seeing that there were still some fresh seasonal vegetables around, in order to take into account Zhao Kuangyan's amount of food, he fried two more vegetarian dishes.
Ah Chun quickly found a food box and put the steaming mandarin fish and vegetarian dishes into it.
"The imperial concubine has already been installed, so let's go up, right?"
"Let's go, call my husband together, it's almost time now, he must be hungry after eating some porridge for breakfast."
Ah Chun snickered, "Don't worry, the princess, the slave just saw that there were a few steamed buns in the steamer and took them together, you burned this mandarin fish The taste is really amazing, and the little chef who didn't allow you to enter the kitchen before looked at it straight!" ”
"Maybe the chefs here don't taste the same." Lin Qingqing said a few words modestly, and as soon as he walked upstairs, Zhao Kuangyan, who was in a hurry, ran over.
"Madame, where have you been? I've been looking for my husband for a long time, are you okay? ”
Lin Qingqing hung his head a little embarrassed, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”
Ah Chun on the side said, "Your Highness, when the imperial concubine went out for a stroll, she happened to see that there were mandarin fish sellers on the lake outside, so she bought two, and they were ready." As he spoke, he lifted the box in his hand.
Yin Wu on the side saw that she was a little difficult to carry, so he took it, and glanced at her as if he didn't see her grateful eyes.
Zhao Kuangyan's eyes were full of distress, "If you are hungry and let the cook do it, how can you cook it yourself?" Tired or not? ”
Lin Qingqing knew that he must have been looking for himself for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and his tone was a little flattering, "I'm not tired, I think that my husband must be hungry, the mandarin fish here has always been famous, so I thought about making it to eat, is Lord Liu also there?" ”
"Not only Lord Liu is here, but Prime Minister Xu is also here."
"The prime minister is here too?" Lin Qingqing was a little surprised, speaking of which, she had never seen the prime minister after she had been in Beijing for so long, but she had heard his story, and the high-ranking and powerful Prime Minister Xu seemed to her to be completely a poor dick silk counterattack!
With his own means and knowledge of current affairs, he has climbed to such a peak!
Lin Qingqing suddenly wanted to see this Prime Minister Xu, and smiled slightly, "Then why don't you introduce your husband to me?" I want to see what a wonderful person Prime Minister Xu is. ”
