Chapter 15 The brain learns, but the hand learns to be wasted
"That's it." Jiang Shishi was forced to open for business, and she couldn't think of any other way to be courteous for a while, so she didn't bother to think about it, "You can make the silver go to the imperial dining room to borrow a small kitchen!" ”
In this way, the master and servant went to the imperial dining room with the silver.
There are many kitchens in the imperial dining room, all of which are used to cook meals for the nobles of the palace.
Jiang Shishi borrowed a small kitchen and asked the steward to buy some ingredients.
After only Jiang Shishi and Chun Xing were left in the kitchen, Chun Xing still whispered in Jiang Shishi's ear.
"Why don't you come and cook for the slave maid, and then you will bring it to His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Jiang Shishi didn't quite agree with this approach, "There are so many pairs of eyes in the imperial dining room, you still want to play the trick of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, isn't this a clear attempt to deceive the prince?" ”
"Moreover, don't you say it, Concubine Tang and the concubines all cook in person, but I, a beauty, let the palace maid cook, and then take it to the prince, who is this looking down on?"
Chunxing: "But ......"
"Nothing." Jiang Shishi directly arranged a task for Chunxing, "Let's cut this grass carp quickly, and I will make a vinegar fish from West Lake and send it to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Okay......" Chun Xing replied with a bitter face, and hurriedly went to cut the fish.
The master and servant worked together to prepare the ingredients, and Jiang Shishi began to take charge of the kitchen.
There are eighteen kinds of kitchen utensils in the kitchen, Chun Xing is responsible for lighting the fire, and Jiang Shishi is in charge of the spoon.
In her previous life, her family opened dozens of chain restaurants across the country.
As the heir, she has already memorized the heirloom recipes.
It's just that she neglects to cook, and her brain is to memorize those recipes, but her hands haven't learned to cook, so cooking is always almost meaningless.
Jiang Shishi first marinated the fish with the Three Musketeers, and when Chun Xing cooked the fire and the water in the pot was boiling, she threw the fish into the pot.
When the water in the pot boiled again, she skimmed off the foam with a spatula.
When the water in the pot gradually decreases, she adds soy sauce, Shao wine, and minced ginger, and then fishes out the fish.
Finally, thicken with corn flour and vinegar, slowly pour the soup over the fish, sprinkle with minced ginger, chopped green onions, and coriander as garnishes and garnish.
Chun Xing on the side saw Jiang Meiren's series of actions from chopping fish to pickling fish, and then to putting the fish in the pot and out of the pot.
At this moment, the smell of food wafts from the cramped kitchen, which is mouth-watering.
If she hadn't tasted the food made by Jiang Meiren, I am afraid that Jiang Meiren would have thought that Jiang Meiren was a skilled cook.
It's strange to say, every time Jiang Meiren teaches her a recipe, she can make delicious food, but why is the food Jiang Meiren herself so hard to swallow?
"That's it!" Jiang Shishi set the plate, put the West Lake vinegar fish into the carved food box, and greeted Chun Xing confidently, "Let's go to the front yard." ”
On the way to the front yard, Chunxing's feet seemed to be filled with lead, and every step was very heavy.
Jiang Shishi saw it, so she comforted Chunxing, "Take it easy, let's just show our hearts and go there to go through the motions." ”
"Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very particular about eating, it is not certain whether he will eat the food we make, plus so many concubines give her food, he must not be able to eat it."
Chunxing: "I hope so......"
When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Huang Dechang coming out of the study with a food box.
Huang Dechang saw that Jiang Meiren was also carrying a food box in his hand, and thought: Another person who came to the front yard to compete for favor under the pretense of food!
However, he still saluted in a proper manner, "The slave has seen Jiang Meiren." ”
"Father-in-law Huang, please get up." Jiang Shishi explained the reason, "I made the West Lake vinegar fish with my own hands and wanted to give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to taste." ”
