Chapter 61: Crystal Trotters

"Everyone's targeted. Although the Ye clan has the conditions to compete for succession, each of them is willing to be a person who assists the ancient family as the emperor, which is enough to show that although they have heavy troops, they disdain fame, fortune and power, and are willing to become a minister, this perseverance is enough to wipe out the suspicion of any generation of emperors, but Ye Yan has come forward again and again because of you, what should you think of! ”

Concubine Zhen looked up at Le Xuan, who was suddenly stunned. Le Xuan's heart twitched, and she gently covered her heart, constantly recalling in her mind that after she met Yeyan, the trouble she brought to Yeyan was not only the arrogant third princess, the arrogant second prince, but also the hatred of the Gong family, and now she also added Concubine Li's treatment.

And she has always been in a weak position, she has been hiding behind Ye Yan, and when she gets into trouble, she throws it at Ye Yan. Yeyan has always protected her, and never said that the trouble caused by her has made the War King's Mansion the target of public criticism.

"Le Xuan, the current Yeyan has just returned to the dynasty not long ago, although he has 300,000 troops in his hands, but the power in the court may not be comparable to any family, you yourself will find that various ministers, although they are afraid of Yeyan on the surface, but there are not a few people who secretly stumble on him, do you know what the reason is?"

Le Xuan's brain suddenly exploded, she never wanted to study whether Ye Yan was in an advantage or a disadvantage in the government, she only knew that Ye Yan was very good at anyone, but she never thought that so many people would stumble on him.

She couldn't help but exhale and whispered: "Although the prince has a heavy army to deter the battlefield, in the deceitful officialdom, he has just returned to the court, and his position has not yet been established, and it is easiest for people to be strangled in the cradle." Generally speaking, the prince's position in the government is now in jeopardy......"

Le Xuan looked at Concubine Zhen's clothes and the appearance of her children, and the teacup in her hand rested on the table, "Le Xuan, let's unite!" Whether Yeyan wins the heir or not, the five princes will not affect him. ”

Le Xuanyu saw that Concubine Zhen had already tied the little furball and thought about the way forward, and her heart sank even more - Ye Yan won the heir and became the king, and he would definitely think that the little furball would grow up and be reused by his side, giving the little furball a lifetime of glory and wealth;

Ye Yan will not take the heir and become a generation of important ministers, and he will definitely fight for a place for Xiao Maoqiu to settle down, and he will not let Xiao Maoqiu die in the hands of the new emperor.

"Niangniang, it's too early to discuss the matter of seizing the heir, and I don't know what the prince thinks, so it's really difficult to represent the prince, so it's better for the mother to tell the prince in person!"

Le Yuyu politely rejected Concubine Zhen's proposal, she could beg Yeyan to take the little furball in the palace, anyway, the little furball had always existed before, but now it has changed its identity.

As for Ye Yan, I am afraid that he has long known the news that Xiao Maoqiu is the fifth prince, and he has been staying in the mansion and is probably waiting for an opportunity to do something big.

Concubine Zhen frowned unhappily when she saw that Le Yuyu didn't take a drop of water, and then sighed softly and said with a smile: "Forget it!" Never mind! Talk so much to your elm head, and you still can't get a drop of water. I don't know if you're stupid or stupid, or if you're smart enough to already know what Hongu is going to do......"

Le Yuxuan looked at Concubine Zhen's sigh, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her face smirked, "Silly! Concubine Zhen glared at her helplessly, "Listen to the fifth prince, you are very good at cooking?" Le Yuxuan looked at Concubine Zhen and smiled, "Just a little research!" ”

"Huh?" Concubine Zhen looked at Le Xuan's modest appearance, and slowly straightened her clothes, "It's not early, in another hour, Your Majesty will come over for dinner, you go and prepare eight dishes and one soup!" ”

Le Yuxuan coughed lightly, and reminded in a weak heart: "Niangniang, didn't you tell Your Majesty that you want to cook yourself?" Why should I cook this meal? ”

"Cooking? Cook? Have you ever seen Hongu with a pot and spoon? Or do you want to see Hongu holding a long sword around your neck? ”

Concubine Zhen looked at Le Xuan with a smile, and Le Xuan closed her eyes, and then opened her bright eyes and sparkled, "Of course I'm cooking!" As a cook, it is a supreme honor for me to be able to cook for His Majesty and his mother! ”

"That's it! Horses shoot less! Now go cook! Concubine Zhen rubbed her temples and gave the eviction order with a tired face. Concubine Zhen's beautiful face looked at her calmly, half lying on the chaise longue charmingly, and the spring breeze blew through the corners of her skirt, evoking a trace of intriguing charm. Le Yuyu bowed to Concubine Zhen and then retreated, and found a palace maid to lead the way to the small kitchen of Xiuli Palace.

In the kitchen:

Le Xuanyu looked at the small kitchen of Xiuli Palace, with fresh ingredients, knives, and clean tables and chairs on the ground, and the good feeling of cooking in her heart suddenly exploded, she picked up a pig's trotter and pinched it gently, the fleshy feeling of the pig's trotter made her squint her eyes, and without saying a word, she threw it into the hot water pot and blanched it, and at the same time she instructed the palace maid in the small kitchen Qingxiu to prepare a large plate of ice.

After watching the pig's trotters turn from flesh to white, she picked up the pot and spooned it and threw it into the ice. Qingxiu looked at Le Youyou's steps, and hurriedly stopped: "Nobleman, if you do this, it will not taste good if you make the pig's trotters tougher!" Le Xuanyu looked at Qingxiu's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but tease: "That Qingxiu, how do you think it is delicious?" ”

"Pig's trotters can be used to make a lot of dishes. However, the most important thing to avoid is the greasy and tendon toughness of the pig's trotters on the side, so you will make the tendons of the pig's trotters tough, and the pigskin is even tougher! Isn't this a big taboo? Le Xuanyu stopped Qingxiu who wanted to pick up the pig's trotters with one hand, "Qingxiu, you just watch me make this bag of sauce pig's trotters, will it be as tenacious as you said?" ”

She picked up the pig's trotters, waved the deboning knife in her hand, quickly deboned the pig's trotters, and re-rolled them with straw rope to stabilize them, and threw them into the hot water again.

Qingxiu watched the boneless and rolled pig's trotters float and sink in the boiling water, and her face was even more anxious, but she was forced to stop by Le Xuan, and the expression on her face couldn't help but feel sorry for this pig's trotters.

Le Yuxuan looked at Qingxiu's changeable expression, and smiled helplessly: "Qingxiu, you don't have to be afraid that I will waste ingredients!" I feel more deeply about the ingredients than anyone else. If the crystal pig's trotters I made disappoint you, the seven dishes and one soup in the back are all up to you, okay? ”

Qingxiu looked at the promise of Le Xuanxuan patting his chest, and could only nod silently, after allowing Le Xuanxuan to quickly transform the pig's trotters in the boiling water and ice cubes many times.

Le Yuxuan poked the skin of the pig's trotters, full of toughness and even bullets, and she knew that the most important step had been done, and all that remained was to wait for the pig's trotters to cool down in the ice.

At this moment, she turned to make the final sauce. Qingxiu watched Le Xuanyu mix soy sauce, salt, aged vinegar, sesame oil and garlic paste with each other at will, stirred them quickly and put them aside, her figure flashed to the cutting board, and quickly picked up the knife to untie the rolled crystal pig's trotters.

A roll of pure pork trotters was as thin as a cicada's wings under her quick slicing, and even more so than the clotted fat of the pig's trotters and the skin of the pig's skin, as crystal clear. Qingxiu watched in amazement as the crystal pig's trotters were laid out on top of the white plate, stacked layer by layer, and finally stacked into a white and nude ice flower.

"Wow!" Qingxiu couldn't help but be slightly surprised by this ice flower, Le Xuanyu took a small brush and stained the sauce she had prepared, her fingertips shook the small brush, and the brown and yellow sauce suddenly fell from the sky and fell on the ice flower, and the crystal clear ice flower was dyed with a trace of yellow halo, just as beautiful as the small yellow flower that just bloomed in spring.

Qingxiu's eyes were dazzled by the crystal ice in front of her, and she opened her mouth in shock, while Le Xuanyu easily dipped the remaining piece of crystal pig's trotters in the sauce, stuffed it into Qingxiu's mouth, and raised it to her mouth with her backhand.

Qingxiu chewed the crystal pig's trotters in her mouth, her body was stunned, her eyes were slightly convex, "Wow-"

Le Xuan, who was wiping the cutting board and knives, was startled by Qingxiu's exclamation, suddenly stopped wiping the knife in her hand, looked up and asked, "Qingxiu, what's wrong?" ”

"Noble, how did you make such a unique sense of pig's trotters? The pork skin at the mouth of the slippery pool exploded the taste buds like a bomb with the taste of the sauce in the mouth, and the sauce fell in the mouth tricklingly, awakening every touch on the tongue like spring rain, and the immortal and anti-Soviet meat on the pig's trotters was cut open on the tongue and turned into a warm current pouring into the heart......

It's amazing, it's not like you're eating themed meat, it's like eating pastry! Noble, how did you create this crystal trotter? Can you teach Qingxiu? ”

In the face of Qingxiu's series of questions, the corners of Le Yuyu's mouth were slightly hooked, "You can teach it, but the sauce needs your own understanding to create the crystal pig's trotters that belong to you." ”

"Why is the tendon on the pig's trotters not tough, but (slippery)?" Qingxiu suddenly changed from a worried old mother to a curious child.

Le Yuyu smiled helplessly and inserted the wiped knife into the knife rack, and said as she walked: "The crystal pig's trotters are made as you see, but what you need to do most with mine is to judge the time of the pig's trotters in the six times according to the size of the theme, and this judgment comes from your understanding of the pig's trotters."

I can't teach you this kind of understanding, I can only tell you that the bigger the trotter, the more difficult it is to grasp, and it is best to choose the trotters between one catty or one and a half catties. In the future, if you slowly figure out how to grasp the time, you will naturally be able to make crystal pig's trotters better than me. ”

Qingxiu looked at Le Xiu seriously, her brows furrowed slightly, but the next moment she suddenly said brightly: "Qingxiu knows that the nobles have the heart to teach, and they have the heart to let Qingxiu understand that the master leads the door and becomes a talent by himself, but Qingxiu still has a problem......" Le Xuanyu picked up two cucumbers, looked back at Qingxiu with a curious face and asked, "What is the problem?" ”

"Just now, the noble man prepared the sauce too quickly, and Qingxiu didn't see which sauce to use?" Le Xuanyu looked at Qingxiu holding the sauce dish she prepared and sniffed, she couldn't help but smile and raised her eyebrows, "Then Qingxiu, you try the taste in the sauce dish, if you can mix a similar taste, how about I make you a dish?" Le Yuxuan selected two fat cucumbers in the basket, and she had already thought of a dish to make.

Qingxiu nodded, silently walked aside with the sauce saucer, and buried herself in the sauce, while Le Xuanfu stretched her waist and looked at the cucumber in her hand, and said softly: "Dry white meat!" Greasy appetizer ......"
