Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 85
"Boom!"
The wooden door that only opened one behind him was knocked open in an instant, and the two people in the room had not yet reacted, especially the man holding the medicine powder, holding the small paper bag in his hand, so frightened that he wanted to shake it down in the wok.
When Qiaoxin saw this scene, her eyes were split, especially when she saw that the news directly below was what she and others had learned, which belonged to Zheng Wan.
She didn't care about anything else at this time, and directly kicked the man's hand away, and used the hat she found when she ran to protect the wok with the lid open.
The medicinal powder in the man's hand also floated into the air with her movements, but fortunately she protected it in time and did not sprinkle it into the soup prepared by Zheng Wan.
At the same time, Qiaoxin shouted: "What are you doing!" ”
The loud shout directly broke through the confinement of the night and woke up the palace maids who were close to the courtyard.
When everyone heard that it was the movement from the assessment courtyard, they all got up quickly, knowing that there were almost one or two people in the room who participated in the assessment.
Now that there's a problem over there, what about their assessment results?
Some people didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they put on a pair of shoes and rushed to the yard.
And the two people in the room also quickly came back to their senses in the clever shout, and the man knew that if he was arrested today, there would definitely be no good life.
After the man saw that his plan had failed, he directly pushed away the two people who wanted to stop him, and rushed directly to the door.
Mama also knew that she might have made a big mistake, and immediately quickened her pace to chase down the man.
For a while, the entire Shangshi Bureau was in chaos, and the sound of human voices, footsteps, and various utensils colliding together sounded in the entire Shangshi Bureau.
Such a big commotion naturally couldn't hide from Qin Sishan, she looked at the man who was pressed in front of her by everyone, and shouted in a cold voice: "Raise your head!" ”
How could the man be willing, but the palace maids who gathered around him to participate in the assessment were not so easy to speak.
Seeing that he dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb at Qin Sishan's words, he kicked it directly and slapped him by the way.
"Smack!"
A loud bang accompanied by a red face appeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
The person who participated in the assessment recognized at a glance that this person was the person who was with them.
"Liu Brown!"
When Liu Brown heard that he was recognized, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he couldn't hear the sounds from the outside world anymore, his body was soft, and as soon as the person who knelt down under him left, he fell to the ground directly.
Qin Sishan looked at the appearance that he couldn't say anything for the time being, and raised his eyes to look at the other three people involved in the matter.
As soon as the two grandmothers felt the death gaze from Qin Sishan, their legs immediately trembled, and they said in trembling voices:
"The old slave knows his mistakes, and he still hopes that Qin Sishan will be gracious."
"If you know your mistake, why do you ignore Dong Zhangshan's order and let people in!"
"Old slave... The old slave was confused for a while, and listened to the sincere words of the visitor, but he just wanted to add pepper to his meal, thinking that it was not a big deal, so he agreed. ”
Qin Sishan has been immersed in the court for many years, so naturally he will not believe such nonsense.
But she still put the two aside for the time being, looked at the ingenuity that was considered meritorious this time, and said, "What about you?" How did you find out? ”
Qiaoxin noticed Qin Sishan's gaze and said it half-truthfully.
"The slave just drinks a lot of water during the day and thinks about it at night. When I happened to pass by the courtyard, I found that the two people who were originally left behind outside were missing, and the door of the courtyard was open, so I mistakenly thought that some thieves had come to the food bureau to steal.
So I pushed the door in, and found that the thief had opened the place where the sisters who participated in the competition today stored their ingredients, and in a hurry, they broke open the door directly. It happened that the thief wanted to pour the powder in his hand into the wok, and in a hurry, he kicked it, and the powder spilled into the air, and I don't know if the food in the wok. ”
When everyone present heard that Qiaoxin made such a move for the sake of the palace maid of the Shangshi Bureau, they looked at Qiaoxin excitedly one by one, and sighed that there was still true love in this court.
When Qin Sishan heard Qiaoxin's explanation, he didn't continue to ask, but asked others.
"What about the soup that was lifted?"
"Yu Sishan, I waited for a check, and found that the hat covered by Qiaoxin was very timely, and there was only umami in the soup, and there was no other peculiar smell. As for the medicine powder that was spilled on the ground, it still needs to be examined by the doctor at the Tai Hospital to know what it is. ”
When she heard that the soup was not contaminated, Qiaoxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But Liu Brown was so angry that he vomited blood directly, he didn't expect that he was caught, and it still didn't have an impact on Zheng Wan's dishes.
So what's the point of him being here today?
Seeing the blood stains spreading from the corners of Liu Brown's mouth, Qin Sishan's voice still maintained an impersonal calmness, and asked:
"If you tell the poisoning drug, you can still leave a whole corpse."
What Liu Brown did is not serious or serious, and it can also be said to be serious, it all depends on how the people in power define it.
Just like Qin Sishan, Liu Palm's murder of other competitors was directly characterized as poisoning, and poisoning in the palace was not a trivial matter.
If the above is investigated, Qin Sishan himself will not be able to please him.
But looking at her now getting to the bottom of the matter, everyone present held their breath, for fear that one of them would be accidentally caught by Qin Sishan and ask for the guilt.
And Liu Brown didn't expect that he just longed for Zheng Wan to add Coptis chinensis to the soup, so that he would lose in the second assessment because of the soup problem, so that he could successfully obtain the position of the chef of the water supervisor, and now how could he fall to the point of a whole corpse.
His eyes widened in disbelief, colliding with Qin Sishan's cold gaze.
At this moment, Liu Brown was really sad from the heart, and he didn't expect that one of his mistakes could cause such serious consequences.
But thinking of his family, he still held his body and replied: "It's not poison, it's Coptis chinensis." ”
"Coptis chinensis!"
Someone heard these two words and repeated them directly and loudly.
In an instant, everyone knew about the medicine that Liu Brown put into the soup, and Coptis chinensis was a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, but it also had a frightening feature, that is, the taste was very bitter.
Even adding just a little bit to a prescription can instantly affect the taste of a jar of medicine.
Liu Brown chose this medicinal herb to frame others, which cannot be said to be vicious.
If today's soup was directly sprinkled with coptis powder, the soup of the person who participated in the assessment would definitely not be able to ask for it.
Dong Zhangshan recalled the smell of the soup he smelled, and it was indeed only umami.
I thought that this soup could only be discarded, but now it seems that after the imperial doctor checks that it is really Coptis chinensis, let people pour it into Liu Palm's mouth, and if nothing happens, it should be able to continue to be used.
Therefore, in the fear that Liu Palm was about to die, the people from the Shangshi Bureau also brought him a bowl of soup made by Zheng Wan.
Thinking of being a full-bodied ghost, he just took a sip.
The endless umami instantly diluted the bloody taste in his mouth, and gradually spread in his mouth, making his tense heart and body instantly relaxed, and he didn't seem to be so afraid of what he was about to die.
But when he heard the palace maid in the house say that he had drugged the soup, he couldn't wait to spit out all the things he had drunk, and coughed one after another in the house.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The palace maids observed for a while, and after finding that Liu Palm really didn't behave unusually, they went back to inform Dong Zhangshan of the matter.
Early the next morning, when Zheng Wan was about to go to the assessment, he was stopped by Dong Zhangshan, who informed him of the news of last night's uproar, and also told them the results of their investigation.
"So choose whether to choose to use the broth cooked in advance by the lady in you, if you don't want to, you can use our food bureau to stew."
Chapter 58: Crab Pink Lion's Head
When Zheng Wan heard that Liu Brown lost his life because of his jealousy, he always felt that the other party was stupid, but how could a person with a desire for profit be able to understand it in a word.
Thinking about the stock he had stewed in advance, he said bluntly:
"Coptis powder has a strong flavor, even if it wasn't discovered yesterday, it will definitely be found at the beginning of today's assessment. However, this does not make any difference to the meal prepared today, and the choice of broth is just to make it with umami, even if it is made with water. ”
Hearing this, Dong Zhangshan was also stunned, and began to feel sad for Liu Brown in the cell.
It's because of a thought that he wants to persecute a girl who may compete with him for the position of public chef, but what he doesn't know is that even if he succeeds, he can't have any impact on Zheng Wan.
If this is conveyed to Liu Brown, Liu Brown, who is already so angry that he vomits blood, is estimated to die directly.
Dong Zhangshan shook his head, shook all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said at a curved angle at the corner of his mouth:
"That's good, but the soup can still be used, and the lady can do it herself."
After finishing speaking, Dong Zhangshan walked in front, and Zheng Wan walked in the back and walked towards the assessment courtyard together.
Zheng Wan had already thought clearly when she walked, the soup stock could make her dishes taste better, and since Dong Zhangshan said that it could be used, there must be no problem.
There is no need for her to weaken one of her advantages, anyway, this dish will be sent to the mouth of the female official to taste.
Thinking of this, she walked over to her own stove as she had done yesterday, and looked at the soup stock that was already warm on the stove.
Opened it with everyone's curious eyes, what happened yesterday is not a secret now, everyone knows that there is a problem with the broth she prepared in advance, and now they just want to see how she performs.
If the broth can't be used, they have to thank Liu Brown for helping them get rid of a strong opponent.
So not only Zheng Wan himself, but others are also very curious about whether the broth can be used.
Everyone watched almost every change in the expression on Zheng Wan's face, looking forward to seeing the picture they wanted to see.
Then everyone saw Zheng Wan directly take a little soup with a spoon and put it in his mouth to taste, this scene made everyone feel horrified, for fear of seeing Zheng Wan fall directly.
But after a while, Zheng Wan was still standing in place, without any change at all.
Everyone let go of their luck mentality, and they have to show their skills today, otherwise they will probably miss a young girl like Zheng Wan again.
Zheng Wan flowed the soup in his mouth back and forth on the tip of his tongue, feeling the change of the umami gradually spreading in his mouth, and there was no bitterness at all, which can indeed be reused.
Solving the problem with the stock, she turned her eyes to the crab and pork meat on the side.
The size of the crab is quite large at this time, and it is worthy of the purchase of the Royal Family Food Bureau, and you can get any fresh and good things.
Even the pork on the side looks extremely fresh, and you can tell that the taste of the food is not too bad.
She hurriedly glanced at all the ingredients on the table and began to make today's dish - crab roe lion's head.
First of all, the crab meat must be taken out of the crab, and the crab at this time has no yellow cream, and she doesn't have to worry too much.
Directly clasp the shell of the crab with one hand, pinch the body of the crab with the other, and with one force, the inside of the crab is immediately displayed in front of you.
Then remove the gills, stomach and other parts that cannot be eaten inside, and what remains is delicious crab meat.
After she had cleaned all the crabs, she was only given a small bowl.
It's less, but it's enough to face today's occasion.
Zheng Wan then looked at the pork meat on the side, she directly separated the fat and lean meat, and cut the lean meat into pomegranate grains, such a size of lean meat can not only maintain the meaty feeling of the mouth, but also stir together well to form a ball, which is the most suitable size for making a lion's head.
Lean meat, on the other hand, is cut to half the size of lean meat, and the fat meat needs to be simmered for a long time until it melts in your mouth.
