Chapter Thirty-Six: The Deep-Water Imperial Dining Room
The little white bear's attitude towards Le Xuan reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, causing Le Xuanyu to hesitantly look at the little white bear leading the way in front, sighed softly, and thought in his heart: In the end, the palace is a good place to sharpen people's tactfulness, and it is also a place where people eat people without spitting out bones and kill people at any time......
"Little White Bear, why were you sent to the palace to be your father-in-law?" Le Yuyu casually asked the reason why the little white bear entered the palace. The little white bear who led the way in front was stunned for a moment, lowered his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister! I'm not called Little White Bear, my original name is Chen Baixiong.
My family lived in a small town on the edge of the kingdom of heaven and earth, but at that time, it was a drought, and the village chief of the village where I lived sold the surplus grain of the whole village to send us to the palace in order to let us juniors survive. The village chief told us that even if we made cattle and horses for the masters in the palace, it was better than starving to death in a drought-stricken village. ”
Hearing this, Le Xuanxuan couldn't help but purse her lips, looking at the back of the little white bear that seemed to become short and rickety, "What about after that?" ”
The little white bear glanced back at Le Yuxuan, and said with a smile: "After that...... After that, all the people in our village starved to death, but only those who were sent to the palace survived.
My father and mother told me to live no matter what, even if it was like a weed, so we juniors, women as handmaidens and men as guards, are the most unfortunate to be eunuchs like me. ”
Le Yuyu looked at the little white bear laughing at herself, she couldn't help but sigh and let go of the hand she was holding, "Actually, you don't have to look down on yourself, many people are forced into the palace by life like you, but they have achieved something." Just like Zheng He, Zhao Gao, Li Lianying...... Although they are fathers-in-law, they are constantly striving for self-improvement, and they will eventually get ahead if they continue to work hard. ”
Le Yuyu deliberately did not explain the threat of Li Lianying and Zhao Gao to the government at that time, but sprinkled the story of Zheng He's three trips to the West, and told the little white bear all the way. The whole person who prompted the little white bear to be inspired by Le Xuan's words cheered up, looked at Le Xuanxuan excitedly, and walked into the front yard of the imperial dining room.
"Sister! I'll wait here, and when you're ready, come here and come to me!" Le Xuanyu looked back at the excited little white bear and nodded, and walked into the imperial dining room without looking back.
Imperial Dining Room:
As soon as Le Xuanyu stepped into the imperial dining room, the pungent aroma hit her face, making her stunned on the threshold of the imperial dining room, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw a three-meter-long table full of various delicacies, and in duplicate.
She looked at the head chef of the ingredients in front of the long table with a little curiosity, only to see him frowning dissatisfied, picking on the seven dishes with chopsticks, and after a simple taste, he pushed the seven dishes aside without hesitation, and roared: "Li Lei's ginger beef is too old; Jiangzi's braised rabbit meat is not strong enough;
Xu Han's charcoal-grilled pork neck; Como's carved winter melon cup is neither salty nor bland, and it is featureless...... If you still make this garbage, then you all take back the burden for me and roll back to ......."
Le Yuxuan watched Li Lei, Jiang Zi, Xu Han, and Kemo hurriedly run to the head chef and bow deeply, and shouted in unison: "Chef Bi, please...... We will make a dish that you are satisfied with, please don't let me roll up and leave......"
Chef Bi walked around in front of the four of them with his hands on his chest and toothpicks hanging from his mouth, but suddenly he kicked everyone and laughed: "You garbage, if I didn't keep you in the imperial dining room, you would have left." ”
"Thank you, Chef Bi, for your kindness!" The four of them knelt humbly on the ground, looking at Bi Kou with gratitude and morality. Le Yuyu looked at Bi Mouth's face and snorted coldly, Bi Kou was stunned for a moment, and realized that the four of them dared to snort coldly in front of him, and when he raised his legs again in anger and wanted to kick people. Le Yuyu's figure flashed, and he picked up Como's carved winter melon cup with both hands, and threw it effortlessly towards Bizui.
"Ahh
Bizui was hit by the carved winter melon cup to his waist, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the side, while the hot broth and melon meat in the carved winter melon cup splashed him in the face. Bi Kou wailed on the ground in embarrassment, while the other four laughed at what happened to him.
"Smile and smile...... Don't help me up! ”
Bizui looked angrily at Le Xuan on the threshold, and glared at the four people who were snickering. Bi Kou was helped up in embarrassment, and his fat face was hot and red, but it didn't affect him to rush to Le Xuanyu with all his strength, and roared without any scruples: "Who are you?" So bold to throw something at me? ”
Le Xuanxuan gave him a cold look and walked into the imperial dining room. The heat in the dining room made her cheeks flush slightly, but she quietly walked around the three-meter long table.
The imperial chefs working in the imperial dining room stopped and looked at the sudden appearance of Le Xuan. Bizui dressed up a gorgeous Le Xuan from top to bottom, from left to right, with a triumphant smile on his face, and said: "I don't know if this little master thinks it's amazing what our imperial dining room makes?" ”
Le Xuanyu watched the whole fourteen dishes being placed in the corner, and the two large vats on the side of the three-meter-long table were filled with various dishes, she watched the food being spoiled like this, and raised her head without any temperature and asked, "You don't think these seven dishes are okay, what will you do with them?" ”
Bizui was asked so stupidly by Le Xuan, but Yile looked at Le Xuanxuan with disdain, "Of course it's poured out!" What is presented to His Majesty and the Lady must be guaranteed to be the most delicious! Le Yuyu glanced at Bi Kou and clenched his fists, "Then as the head chef, should you have a hand to turn decay into magic and process these dishes into delicious again!" ”
"Humph! Turning decay into magic...... Ha ha! If there is such a method, then the two large tanks of food will not be poured out and fed to the dogs. ”
Bizui watched Le Xuanyu roll up her sleeves, and picked up a first-grade abalone from the two large tanks that were not disgusting, "That abalone was raised before the time came, destroying the original umami of the abalone, it was a waste of ......"
Le Yu pinched the tough pot, and the sauce-flavored juice slowly seeped out from the inside of the abalone. The ink-colored eyes lit up slightly, the eyelids closed slightly and opened again, and he walked casually in front of Bizui and raised the Yipin abalone in his hand, "You mean this abalone can only be thrown away, right?" ”
"Of course!"
Bizui looked at the abalone in Le Xuan's hand triumphantly, and told the other imperial chefs who stopped to watch the show with his eyes that this was a rhetorical question that he couldn't help himself.
Le Xuanyu snorted coldly, pursed her lips and smiled, a confident smile bloomed on her beautiful face, "But I think that as long as this abalone is boiled for one more stick of incense, it can achieve a unique delicacy." ”
"Lie!" The other imperial chefs secretly taunted Le Yuyu behind the stove, but she tilted her head unmindingly and looked at Bi Zui defiantly, "Then Chef Bi, do you dare to bet with me?" If I can make this abalone unique, you have to apologize to the four of them! ”
Le Yuyu tried the dishes of the four people, although they were delicious, but because of the lack of skill, heat, and skills, they could not become the best delicacy, but in time they will be able to become a famous chef.
Bizui looked at the imperial kitchen and the father-in-law of Bucai in the imperial dining room and whispered, and he couldn't help but look at Le Xuan hesitantly. Until Cumo looked at the confidence on Le Xuan's face, and said in disbelief: "I believe that this little master can turn decay into magic!" ”
Li Lei, Jiang Zi, and Xu Han hesitantly watched as Cumo silently walked behind Le Yuxuan to show their support, they meditated for a long time and walked behind her one after another, and said to Bizui without fear: "We are willing to bet on our final future!" I believe that this little lord has the ability to turn decay into magic! ”
"You ......" Bizui looked at the behavior of the four of them, and frowned angrily, "You guys, just wait for the roll to cover and leave!" ”
"That'...... Chef Bizui, I'll just say yes to you! Le Yuxuan looked at Bi's red face and smiled silently. She walked to the stove with a pint of abalone in her hand and casually threw it into the hot water.
Li Lei and the four of them looked at Le Xuan's technique, their eyes darkened, and the others even looked at her behavior and covered their mouths and snickered, and Bi Zui sat on the chair and looked at Le Xuan.
"You four come here for me to help!" Le Yuyu rolled up her sleeves, meticulously watched the abalone emerge from the boiling hot water, quickly fished it out without saying a word, and threw it into the ice cubes on the side, "Li Lei, you go and get the lightest and smallest casserole, Jiang Zi will condense the broth for me ten times, and then bring it to me; Xu Han went to get the best Shaoqing wine; Cuomo came and followed me to learn how to make candy abalone! ”
The clear division of labor made the four people stunned, but in her rapid applause, the four of them quickly moved and began to complete the tasks she had assigned.
"Humph! I'll see how you make the so-called 'sugar abalone'? Bizui sneered, but she ignored it and tied her apron without hesitation, "Who laughed and didn't necessarily end up necessarily!" Let's ask Chef Bi to think about how he will apologize to the private person later! Le Xuanyu looked at the busy figures of the four people, with a satisfied smile on his face, and looked intently at the abalone that was constantly shrinking.
Because the first taste of the abalone must be washed away for the first time, the (hot) expansion and cold contraction is the easiest way to make the initial flavor seep out, but it also very cleverly locks in the umami of the abalone.
Then stew the abalone again as long as the original basic taste is aggravated, and the original wine that is not strong enough is pressed with strong liquor, and further integrate the umami with the broth, and after the umami of the abalone is locked to the extreme, the stewing can make the abalone tender on the outside and tough on the inside, and the aftertaste is endless......
Le Xuan watched as Cumo kept repeating the steps she said under her guidance, until she nodded, and then he immediately threw it into the tumbling highly concentrated broth, and Xu Han even threw the ingredients that Le Xuan needed into the pot.
Li Lei quickly closed the lid, and according to the method that Le Xuanyu secretly told him, he got a wet cloth full of wine and covered it in the casserole, and suddenly the entire casserole turned into a fireball, illuminating the entire imperial dining room, and everyone looked at the fireball in shock, except for Bi Kou pursed his lips and snickered.
All this was in her eyes, but she didn't care, just because of this game, she couldn't help but slap her face and intimidate the people in the imperial dining room, so as not to be disturbed or fall into unnecessary traps when she was cooking.
