Qiu Tian just returned to the small kitchen, washed his hands, quietly looked at the eight dishes on the table and the steaming white rice, exhaled lightly, and finally finished.

At this time, Fuquan hurriedly walked into the kitchen, saw the eight dishes lined up on the table, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and quipped: "Ouch! Is this just the right time for us? ”

Qiu Tian turned around when he heard the sound and saw Fuquan standing beside him, smiled slightly, and bowed slightly, "Father-in-law Fu, thank you for coming to pass the meal." ”

"Out of the way! Out of the way! Fuquan looked at Qiu Tian and felt more and more that the person in front of him was not like the appearance of the past, with a restrained atmosphere and a sense of boundary, "Miss Qiu, what are these eight dishes this time?" ”

"Whole Chicken Feast!"

"Whole Chicken Feast!?" Fuquan looked at the different dishes on the table in amazement, "Miss Qiu, what do you mean - these dishes are all made with chicken?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shizi took the first step and muttered deliberately, and reported to Fuquan, "This imperial dining room is too stingy, and I went to buy items to come back, but I also sent this little thing over." ”

"I know that Your Majesty and Concubine Zhao came to dine with the Queen Mother in the Luxury Fragrance Palace, but we only have this little ingredient in our small kitchen, isn't this just deliberately embarrassing Miss?"

Qiu Tian snorted lightly, "Little pebble! ”

She didn't want to burn her head at this moment, Xiao Shizi had no choice but to close her mouth, but Angelica looked at the dishes on the table and sighed lightly, "Father-in-law Fu, I bother you to help our young lady say a few kind words, after all, this is only a dish made with three chickens, and it will definitely not be as good as those dishes made with delicacies in the imperial dining room." ”

Qiu Tian couldn't help but look at Angelica who suddenly had "green tea" on his upper body, and Angelica deliberately took a surplus boiled chicken skeleton to Fuquan, "Father-in-law Fu, you taste the taste of this chicken skeleton." ”

"Miss's cooking, it's delicious!" Angelica looked at Fuquan with round eyes, and strongly recommended the spicy chicken skeleton, "Father-in-law Fu, you try!" ”

Fuquan smiled helplessly in the face of Angelica's invitation to Shengyi Boxing, and asked tentatively: "Then let's try it!?" ”

When he said this, he stared at Qiu Tian, and Qiu Tian smiled, "Please also ask Gonggong Fu to help me try the taste." ”

"Since, Miss Qiu also said so, then our family should be respectful and obey fate!" Fuquan swallowed his saliva, looking at the fried chicken skeleton dotted with sparkling red pepper flakes, Fuquan swallowed and bit down on the minced meat on the chicken's collarbone, "Puff-"

The thick chicken juice burst out, and Fuquan screamed, "Scalding, hot, hot, hot......"

"Father-in-law Fu, be careful!" Angelica hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Fuquan, and Fuquan drank it all, but the spicy in his mouth made him gasp, chew his mouth empty, and look at Qiu Tian seriously, "How can this chicken skeleton be unwilling, but also spicy on the outside, and smooth (more) juicy on the inside?" ”

"It's easy!" Qiu Tian turned around and took the starch jar from the stove and walked in front of Fuquan, "The secret to keeping the minced meat on that chicken skeleton tender is it." ”

"Too (white) powder?" Fuquan looked at the starch jar in Qiu Tian's hand in disbelief, Qiu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the starch jar in his hand, and instantly understood why Fuquan called starch too (white) powder.

Most of the (white) flour is crushed potatoes, after kneading, precipitation, drying, grinding and other processes, it shows a delicate powder, but also forces the general mung bean starch to be more white and shiny, but because of poor water absorption, it is often used to make a viscous agent to collect juice, and the imperial diet in the imperial dining room likes to use it to thicken the juice, so that the soup of the dish looks more thick and shiny, so as to arouse people's taste buds.

On the contrary, after crushing the corn toon, kneading, precipitating, cleaning and then precipitating, drying, grinding and other steps, the corn starch is called "corn starch", which is white but dull, and the juice that comes out is used as the clear juice of the dish, just to make the food soup slightly tightened, and rich in beautiful luster, and will not be collected in the later stage like too (white) powder, but no change.

In this regard, Tai (white) flour and corn starch, although they are also starch, but the subdivision and usage are different, and the fried chicken skeleton for this long time has a different taste.

Qiu Tian shook his head, "Father-in-law Fu, this is not too (white) flour, but corn starch, which is made from corn chun, kneaded, precipitated, washed and precipitated, dried, and ground to make thickening juice." ”

Xiaoshizi didn't wait for Qiu Tian to give an order, he turned around and pulled out the jar with too white powder from the ingredient table, and opened the jar quickly with a quick movement, Fuquan stepped forward and touched a handful of cornstarch in Qiu Tian's hand, and hurriedly walked to Xiaoshizi and touched the jar with too white points, obviously he found the clue of meaning.

"This is too (white) powder, although it is shiny, but it is not as delicate as raw starch." Fuquan suddenly realized, "I can't imagine that a small starch can make such a big difference." This chicken skeleton is made of this cornstarch? ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Tian covered the lid and patiently explained: "In order to make the chicken skeleton (more) juicy, we not only boil the water, but also put it in the pot to boil slightly, and when the meat on the chicken skeleton is slightly soft, take it out and dry it, and then wrap it in cornstarch and fry it slightly in a low-temperature oil pan to set the shape, pick up and drain the oil and then wrap it in this cornstarch, put it in high temperature and high oil again, fry it until golden brown, and then sprinkle it with unique sauce, and stir-fry it a little to get out of the pot." ”

"No wonder there is a little burnt taste on top of this meat, after such repeated crispy frying, it must be that this bone meat is also crispy and delicious." Fuquan said as he looked at the chicken skeleton in his hand, took a bite (sucked), and as he thought, the chicken skeleton became crispy and delicious, and the taste was not only spicy and delicious, but also added the bone aroma of bone marrow.

Not only that, but the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and the fragrance seemed to swallow him up like a monstrous wave in his mouth.

But in his mouth, the smell of meat, the smell of bones, the spice of seasonings, the spicy fragrance of spicy, and the faint sweetness of the wisps are intertwined into a large net of complex flavors, accurately grasping his stomach, a sense of comfort that arises spontaneously from his heart, so that he can't help but feel a trace of joy, but also feel unprecedented warmth.

The originally cold body turned out to be warm because of this small spicy chicken skeleton, Fuquan looked at Qiu Tian in shock, but the next moment he bowed respectfully to Qiu Tian, "Miss Qiu, I'm afraid no one in this world can surpass it." ”

"Father-in-law Fu, you're polite."

Qiu Tian smiled, not arrogant or impatient, "Tired, Gonggong Fu will pass on the imperial meal first." I'll go back to the Pianran Hall first, change into dry clothes, and serve Your Majesty and Niangniang for dinner. ”

"Don't bother! Don't bother! Fuquan looked at Qiu Tian, who suddenly seemed to grow up overnight, and couldn't help but recognize this "troublesome spirit in the world" from his heart, "This is what our family should say, Miss Qiu go and freshen up!" ”

"Yes!" Qiu Tian saluted, glanced at Angelica, and Angelica shouted playfully, "Mama Li, come to assist Gonggong Fu to pass the meal!" ”

"There's Lao Fu's father-in-law here!" As soon as Qiu Tian's words fell, Mama Li took the palace people to the small kitchen, and after she and Qiu Tian exchanged glances, Qiu Tian left.

As everyone knows, when Mama Li was packing food with a food box to keep warm, she mistakenly took the food box that Qiu Tian brought back from the Rare Poultry Courtyard and thought it was a match for the flower embroidery, and sent it to the Musk Hall with the chicken soup in the warm stew pot.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Tian appeared in the Musk Hall wearing a long-standing vest padded jacket embroidered with plain and prosperous snow satin, and a horse-faced skirt with a bright goose yellow under the same light color.

"Courtier Qiu Tian knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor!"

"I've seen the queen mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"I've seen Concubine Zhao, Concubine Zhao is auspicious and healthy!"

Because Concubine Zhao is here, Zhao Er is also there, this is no longer a small family banquet in the Musk Palace, but a "family banquet" at the level of a Hongmen banquet.

She had to cheer up and come to the place where she couldn't see her well.

The bright lights hit her, shining like a bright moon, and it also made the eyes of everyone in the Musk Hall shine, and the old emperor on the throne stopped talking with Concubine Zhao and looked at her intently.

It was precisely because of this straight-eyed and unadorned look that Concubine Zhao had a trace of other thoughts, she squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Qiu Tian, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty!" Qiu Tian's doll is getting more and more pretty and cute! ”

"That's right! Qiu Tian looks like the queen once looked! The old emperor smiled and approached the queen's side and said, "Empress, did you say that I was right?" ”

The queen smiled slightly, and before she had time to answer, Concubine Zhao preemptively said: "Your Majesty is really right, the concubine really thinks that Qiu Tian, this child, looks like the queen mother when she was young, the more she looks at it, the more she looks at it, the more she looks at it, unlike Zhao Er, who is so ordinary that people can look at it." ”

Qiu Tian looked at Concubine Zhao silently, and brought the topic to Zhao Er, who was one year younger than her.

Concubine Zhao's words are really high, not only secretly rubbing and satirizing the queen's old Zhu Huang, but also secretly rubbing herself up, and finally ending with Zhao Er, who is younger than her, while grasping the topic, she also secretly locked the attention of her pen on her sisters.

She had to admire, but had she ever asked her about this technique?

Just as she was about to fight back, she didn't want the queen to suddenly interrupt these words with a smile, "Sister, it's not too early!" Your Majesty's dragon body is also hungry, let's eat! ”

Qiu Tian heard the queen's seemingly intimate words, which was sarcastic to Concubine Zhao: You talk a lot.

She couldn't help but look at the queen, and the queen glanced at her as if she didn't care, "Xiao Jiu, since you made the dinner tonight, then why don't you say it, which one to taste first?" ”

Qiu Tian looked at the dishes on the table, "Why don't you drink some clear soup first to warm up your body?" ”

As soon as the words fell, each grandmother quickly picked up the lid of the soup cup in front of the three of them, and suddenly the aroma of chicken soup exploded, breaking into everyone's nasal cavity strongly, and the thick chicken soup made the three of them look down and look up at her in surprise.

"This is chicken soup?" The old emperor couldn't help but ask curiously, Qiu Tian deliberately hung his appetite, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can give it a try." ”

The old emperor looked at the clear soup with a heavy face, floating and sinking an inch of emerald green onion like a boat, and an unclear object hidden in the clear soup, and finally slowly picked up a spoon and spooned a small spoonful, and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked at the soup cup in disbelief, "How can this be?" ”
