Chapter 64: Soulless Roast!
Zhu Xinghe also stepped forward enthusiastically and looked at the meat skewers that were being grilled: "I'm afraid it's because the meat you make is more delicious, right?" β
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Xinghe's face is harmless and cute, and now when she says such a thing, it doesn't seem too flattering, but it seems that she is sincere.
The meat cook, who was naturally going to provoke, laughed and said, "You little palace maid, you are very interesting!" Tell me, what kind of meat is this? β
This is difficult to Zhu Xinghe: "Naturally, it's mutton, but you can let go of fine salt?" β
"Let it go!"
The meat chef patted his chest: "And cumin powder." This is a good thing that is not available in Beijing, if you like it and can eat it, can I give you a little? β
This couldn't be better, Zhu Xinghe generously took out a handful of glass candy from his sleeve and put it in front of the meat cook: "I don't take yours for nothing, this little bit of thought, just exchange it for cumin powder!" Although it is a worthless thing, I also know that the cumin powder is expensive, you give me a little, let me go back and make a taste for my master! β
In fact, even Zhu Xinghe didn't know why, her first reaction was to let Yongle try the taste of roast mutton after returning to the palace.
"Hahaha!"
The meat chef laughed again, and immediately took a small bag of cumin powder from the small cabinet on the side and put it in front of Zhu Xinghe's eyes: "I like you little palace maid very much, take it!" β
He was generous, Zhu Xinghe approached the barbecue and sniffed it again, and then said, "Don't you put chili noodles yet?" β
The meat chef was stunned at this time: "What chili noodles?" β
Zhu Xinghe's heart was a little surprised: "Northern Desert...... Don't have chili noodles? It is that after the spicy seeds are dried, they are ground into powder. β
"Oh-"
The meat chef reacted immediately: "You mean red powder?" Why do you put red powder on roasted lamb? β
Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?! The roast mutton eaten in the Northern Desert doesn't even put chili noodles? It's just a roast lamb without a "soul"!
The meat cook was very suspicious of Zhu Xinghe: "Red pink...... How can I eat it if I put it on it? Doesn't your mouth hurt? β
So people in this era have no concept of "spicy"?
Zhu Xinghe naturally knew that this concept could not be forcibly added to them.
But he looked at the meat cook with a smile again, and there was a bit of pleading in his eyes: "Otherwise...... You bake two red powder ones for me, and I'll eat them? I like to eat the ones with red powder! You're from the Northern Desert, so you won't be without pink on you, right? β
This is a radical method, but it is very effective for the meat cook, and he immediately patted his chest and said, "Naturally, there must be!" This red powder is a must-have for some cured meats, but if you use it and you can't eat it, don't blame me! β
"Good, good!"
Zhu Xinghe's eyes were bent into a crescent moon: "You can rest assured." β
The meat cook was skeptical, but in the end he still gave Zhu Xinghe a little spicy noodles.
Zhu Xinghe asked for three skewers of barbecue, sprinkled a little spicy noodles on two of them, and soon began to choke.
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβno, no! This red powder is so choking, how can it be sprinkled on the roasted mutton? β
While the meat chef was busy opening the window, he denied Zhu Xinghe: "You take yours quickly, you can't get close to anything else!" Otherwise, I will choke on all the other meat, and I will be punished!" β
Seeing that the three skewers in his hand were almost baked, Zhu Xinghe tried to eat a piece of one of the skewers.
Not only the meat cook, but also the other people who helped in the kitchen also looked at Zhu Xinghe with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see if Zhu Xinghe would be spicy by the red powder.
However, Zhu Xinghe just closed his eyes, feeling the long-lost taste in his mouth, and almost cried: "This is also too delicious!" I haven't eaten such a delicious barbecue in years! It's like the smell of my dreams! β
Zhu Xinghe thought so from the bottom of his heart, and her appearance was also seen by the meat cook, with a little suspicion, but she also began to believe Zhu Xinghe in general: "Won't it?" This roasted lamb is really delicious with red powder? Wouldn't it? β
Zhu Xinghe handed the string in his hand that he didn't put anything to the meat cook: "If you don't believe it, try it." You should be able to get used to eating that red powder, you can taste it! β
Seeing Zhu Xinghe's satisfied look, the meat chef repeatedly confirmed that Zhu Xinghe was not spicy by the red powder, so according to Zhu Xinghe's meaning, he first sprinkled a little red powder on the roasted mutton, and then took a bite-
Just this bite is enough to make the meat chef seem to open up a new world on this dish!
His eyes lit up, he picked up the red powder again, sprinkled a little more on the other pieces of meat, and then ate two pieces of meat in one go, and his eyes became different: "This...... How is this possible?! It's so delicious!? It's like two dishes of grilled lamb! β
He gulped down the rest of the meat, almost forgetting that he was going to roast it any further.
Or Zhu Xinghe reminded him: "But I don't know if His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness King Xun can eat this red powder, I still recommend that you make two servings." Put one on the pink and don't put the other, just let them choose for themselves. If they think it's delicious and they still want to eat the red powder in the end, you can take the unbrought part back and put it on the oven again and sprinkle it with red powder, which is also the same taste. β
Zhu Xinghe said in an orderly manner, so that the meat chef looked at Zhu Xinghe with some amazement and admiration: "Look at you, you are also from Kyoto, how can you know so much at a young age?" β
was suddenly asked, and Zhu Xinghe could only say vaguely: "When I didn't enter the palace, I ate it with my family once, and I still remember the taste!" β
The meat chef didn't look like the King of Hunt and the King of Han, and he didn't ask much, but just beckoned the rest of the cooks to take out all the red powder, and sent a bag of red powder to Zhu Xinghe, and then he was overjoyed and continued the action in his hand.
When Zhu Xinghe and the meat chef brought this barbecue to the front, King Han and King Xun were already seated.
Seeing the barbecue meat that was obviously sprinkled with red powder in Zhu Xinghe's hand, Ling Tianhan's expression became a little colder, and he looked at the meat cook: "What's the matter?" β
Zhu Xinghe stepped forward and put the barbecue sprinkled with red powder in front of Ling Tianhan: "Don't blame him, it's what I mean." He said that the prince can eat red powder, why don't you taste it first? β
If he were someone else, Ling Tianhan would definitely not listen to a word.
But for some reason, when Zhu Xinghe's harmless face was in front of his eyes, and he even looked at him with a little joy and expectation, he couldn't refuse Zhu Xinghe, and took a barbecue with red powder in his hand.
