Chapter 360: Buddha Wen abandoned the bounce and jumped off the wall
The practice of Buddha jumping over the wall is very complicated, and Yu Xiaocao used to only talk about it on paper. After preparing ten raw materials for the Buddha jumping over the wall, Yu Xiaocao experimented with them again and again at home. In the first few times, either there was a problem with the ratio of raw materials, or the seasoning was not put properly enough, and the taste was always not perfect enough.
However, even the failed Buddha jumping over the wall is made of top-quality mountain and sea delicacies, and Yu Xiaocao's cooking skills are excellent, and the taste is already very delicious for the Yu family. Therefore, before the day when King Yangjun was ready to celebrate for Xiaoshi, there was always a strong and attractive fragrance wafting over the Yu family's old house, which made the Qian and Zhou families next door drool, and Qian Wu's kid couldn't help but lean in front of the Yu family's old mansion, wanting to see what Xiaocao was tossing again.
Yu Xiaocao tried while holding a small notebook and charcoal to write and draw, which ingredients have problems with the cooking method, and how to solve them are written in the small notebook. If she finds the best way to prepare it, she'll write it down right away......
After many attempts, after failing eight times, in the ninth attempt, she found the best ratio and cooking technique, and cooked the "Buddha jumping over the wall" that was fragrant for ten miles, and made the smellers stop and the tasters were intoxicated!
Every time Yu Xiaocao tries to make a Buddha jumping over the wall, Zhu Junyang will personally visit and taste it, and give her a lot of constructive opinions and suggestions, and the mouth of a foodie can always pick out some details. However, the failure of each experiment, this product has also eaten a lot. Even if it is a failure, the taste is not comparable to that of ordinary dishes.
This altar of Buddha jumped over the wall, as soon as it was done, the fragrance was not comparable to the previous altars, and even a potential foodie like King Yangjun, who boasted that he had never eaten any delicious food, was deeply intoxicated and almost lost in the rich fragrance.
After the altar lid was opened, the courtyard was full of meat incense, Zhu Junyang was full of praise after tasting it, and he couldn't find a trace of fault, and sure enough, as Xiaocao said, "The altar is full of meat incense and floats around the neighborhood, and the Buddha smells and abandons the bounce wall!" "Even when the Buddha smells this fragrance, he can't help but break the vows and taste a few bites, right?
The first jar of finished products, the Yu family only smelled a belly of fragrance, but did not taste a mouthful. On the surface, he looked indifferent, but on the inside, he was very filial and attached importance to his family, and he jumped over the wall with the Buddha wrapped in a small bag, and brought it back to the courtyard halfway up the mountain, sharing the unique delicacy in this world with his mother.
After the annex was built, the day after Princess Jing moved in, she invited Yu Xiaocao to play in the annex. Under the leadership of King Yangjun, Xiaocao "visited" every corner of the courtyard, pointed to a well near the small kitchen of the main courtyard, and said that it was the top mountain spring water, and using it to cook and make tea was good for the princess's body. In fact, she asked Xiao Tianshi to help transform the well into the quality of Lingshi water.
At the beginning, Mama Su, who was next to the princess, was suspicious of her words, and at the insistence of the princess and the county king, the princess used the water from the well for her food. Within a few days, the princess's body had improved greatly, her appetite had improved a lot, her skin was fair and delicate, and she looked a few years younger. The loyal Mama Su said again and again that the water and soil in Dongshan Village nourish people!
Princess Jing lived in the courtyard for half a year, and after she got better, she put on riding clothes, accompanied by a few girls who were a little outstretched, climbed mountains, hunted, or went to collect some wild fruits with her own hands, and asked Yu Xiaocao to help make fruit wine.
When Yu Xiaocao is idle, he will make some light food from time to time and send it to the other courtyard. Princess Jing once laughed and said that the food she eats from the top chefs and imperial chefs in the house is not as good as the home-cooked meals cooked by Xiaocao!
The cooks in the other courtyard, who thought highly of themselves, were not convinced at first, thinking that the princess was tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so they would feel that the porridge and side dishes in the countryside were delicious. But when they tasted the food made by Yu Xiaocao, their hearts were shocked: such simple ingredients make delicious and refreshing meals, this is the legendary "back to basics" cooking method, right? Unexpectedly, the culinary realm that they have pursued for most of their lives was easily reached by a teenage girl!
The chef of the other courtyard and the imperial chef given by the palace restrained the arrogance in their hearts, put down their bodies and asked Yu Xiaocao for advice. Xiaocao didn't have anything to hide, and he couldn't tell any big truth, so when he was cooking, he let the two celebrity chefs observe on the side.
The celebrity chefs of the annex are very grateful, and each chef has his own unique skills, which are not easy to show. Yu Xiaocao's frank approach added a little admiration to their hearts. From the observation, the two celebrity chefs have their own understanding, and there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and they have improved their cooking skills.
When King Yangjun brought back the Buddha jumping over the wall, it was already time for dinner, and the two cooks each made their best, waiting for the two masters to taste it. Because of the king's mouth, he can point out the shortcomings of the dishes every time, and when the masters are eating, the two celebrity chefs will stand next to them and listen to the opinions of the king of the county, or the requirements of the princess.
"Yang'er, what treasure are you holding in your arms?" Princess Jing looked at the table full of light food, and she was a little unmotivated. What has that girl been busy with lately? It's been a long time since I've been to the other courtyard to accompany her. Princess Jing felt that her body was already stronger than the average person, and she no longer had to strictly control her diet. She wants to eat roast chicken, she wants to eat roast duck, and she wants to eat smoked sausage......
Suddenly, Princess Jing sat up straight, her nose fluttered slightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the jar where her son opened the furoshiki. The jar doesn't look amazing, but it has a unique fragrance overflowing from it.
Princess Jing's face was unconsciously full of smiles, and she asked softly, "Yang'er, what delicious food did that girl from Xiaocao toss out again?" It seems to be meaty, can the mother taste it? Just take a bite! ”
Zhu Junyang saw that his mother was like a child, staring at the Buddha jumping over the wall in his hand expectantly, and felt funny and distressed.
I heard my father say that when my mother was in good health, she was a complete foodie. One second ago, she quarreled with King Jing and swore to ignore him for the rest of her life, and the next second King Jing took out the snacks she brought back from the palace, and she came up as if her puppy smelled the smell of meat, and she almost didn't wag her tail.
It's a pity that later, the mother concubine broke her body because she gave birth to him, and in the process of recuperation, she was plotted by people with bad intentions, and it was not until she met Yu Xiaocao that she gradually got better. Over the years, the concubine has taken more medicine than she eats, and she has also been restricted from being light.
"Yang'er! My body is already healed, and the doctor has said that it is no problem to eat a few pieces of meat! "It's not the first time that Princess Jing has falsely sent a doctor's order for food.
Seeing the eagerness on the face of the concubine, Zhu Junyang put the jar on the table, thought for a while, and said: "The ingredients in this dish are mostly seafood treasures, which are relatively nutritious, and the concubine can eat some." However, you can't eat too much at night, so as not to accumulate food! ”
As soon as she heard that she could eat it, Princess Jing was as happy as a child, and she eagerly lifted the lid of the altar, and the intoxicating fragrance left and spread. The two cooks immediately widened their eyes and straightened their necks, eager to come to the side of the jar to see what kind of food could give off such an enticing aroma. I've been cooking for most of my life, but I've never found any ingredient that can make such a rich and layered flavor!
After the altar was completely opened, the fragrance of Buddha jumping over the wall was wafting over the entire courtyard, and the maids, women, servants, and stewards who were busy at their posts all stopped their work, shrugged their noses and sniffed vigorously, and secretly swallowed saliva.
The most difficult thing is Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, who are waiting for the princess to eat, they are strictly trained palace maids, and they have been serving by the princess's side for many years, and their self-control that they have always been proud of suddenly collapsed in front of this altar Buddha jumping over the wall. They kept their mouths tightly closed, not daring to say a word more, for fear that the saliva would spray out uncontrollably with the words.
Fortunately, King Yangjun took over Mei Xiang's work, he went to his mother's side, picked up the small white porcelain bowl of the official kiln in front of her, scooped some shark fins, abalone and sea cucumber from the jar, put them in her bowl, and handed them to her.
Princess Jing couldn't wait to taste it, the rich taste of the seafood, the rich aroma of the meat, burst in her mouth, and instantly felt so happy that she felt as if she had flown into the air and soared freely in the white clouds. She ate all the food in the bowl in three or two bites, and did not need her son to serve her, so she had enough food and clothing by herself. After tasting all the ingredients, she felt that her stomach was full, but she still couldn't stop.
Mei Xiang secretly swallowed the saliva that flowed to her mouth, and reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, you have eaten more than you have eaten in the past, and you will feel uncomfortable eating at night......"
Zhu Junyang, who was enjoying the food, only then did he think of the expression on his mother's face that he wanted to eat and was entangled, and she rubbed her stomach, and hurriedly moved the jar away from the front of her mother, and said: "Mother, Xiaocao said that it is best to eat seven points full at night, which is good for the body." ”
"But this dish is so delicious! I don't want to stop at all!! Princess Jing flattened her mouth with a little pity, watched her son eat, and secretly spit on her stomach, if she could eat three bowls in one meal like her son, how good it would be!!
Zhu Junyang sped up his meal, and after most of the dishes in the jar went down, he couldn't eat it anymore with his stomach. The two chefs who were waiting on the side couldn't wait to ask, "Niangniang, the king of the county, can you taste it?" ”
Except for the Buddha jumping over the wall on the table, there was not a single chopstick on the other dishes. These foods, which were originally rare in the eyes of the maids, were not as attractive as the leftovers of the jar at this time. The master's leftover meals are usually used to reward the girls below. Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang had long been thinking about whether this delicacy would be rewarded to their sisters when two chefs suddenly appeared. Lan Xiang couldn't help but glare at the chef quietly!
