After Ying Xiaozheng left, Lin Zhen could only accompany King Qin. Zichu couldn't stand it, so he ran to the kitchen to help under the pretext.

Cai Ze soon came to the kitchen as well. Looking at Cai Ze's expression, the scene must be very numb.

After another while, Meng Wu also came.

"I'll help chop up the bones." Meng Wu explained.

The cooks in the kitchen: "? ”

"Okay, remove the chicken bones." Zhu Xiang didn't demolish him, "Will you pick the bones?" ”

Meng Wu nodded. A military general can pick people's bones, and of course he can also pick chicken bones.

"The kitchen is too stuffy, you take your son out to play, don't get in the way." Seeing that Zi Chu was almost stunned by the heat of the kitchen, Zhu Xiang said, "Zheng'er is not well yet, don't be sick again." ”

Ying Xiaozheng glanced at his sick father who was sweating finely, and obediently took his father's hand and left.

Obviously, my father was weak, and my uncle had to use me as an excuse.

"Father, are we going back to the front yard?" Ying Xiaozheng raised his head and asked.

Zi Chu remembered the situation in the front yard, and his face became worse: "You go to sleep for a while, I'll accompany you." ”

Ying Xiaozheng's mouth was even more deflated. It's clear that you're tired and want to rest. That's it, what else can I do with such a father?

Ying Xiaozheng thought about the monarch's father in the dream, and then looked at this frail and hard-mouthed father, and sighed old-fashionedly: "Okay, Zheng'er wants to sleep." ”

Zichu was satisfied and took Ying Xiaozheng to the room to rest.

After Zhu Xiang drove Zichu and Ying Xiaozheng away, he asked Xue to rest.

King Qin will not sit at the same table with Xue, so there is no need for Xue to work so hard for King Qin. Eat when you should eat, rest when you should rest, do your own thing, and leave King Qin alone.

Xue couldn't laugh or cry, although she left the kitchen, she went to the front yard to replenish the water and fruit snacks for King Qin at any time.

Zhu Xiang weighed the wine jar. After making the lotus leaf chicken, there is still a leftover drink. He decided to be another drunken chicken.

After Meng Wu deboned the chicken, Zhu Xiang asked Meng Wu to pat the chicken loose with the back of a knife and soak it in salt and rice wine.

Meng Wu moved his nose: "Can you still drink this wine after seasoning?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I'll make a rice wine and fish soup later." "Actually, after the rice wine is made into fish soup, the taste of the wine is gone. He just dealt with Meng Wu, lest Meng Wu secretly drink the rice wine soaked in raw chicken and drink his stomach.

Meng Wu said: "I will definitely be able to drink two big bowls!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I guess you can't drink it." Most of them were drunk by the king, and a small part was drunk by Bai Gong and Fan Gong. ”

Meng Wu's eyes darkened.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "But we are cooks, we can taste the taste first." ”

Meng Wu's eyes lit up.

Cai Ze looked at this scene and shook his head with a smile. This General Mengwu is quite interesting.

Zhu Xiang also asked Meng Wu to crush the chicken bones, add star anise, laurel leaves, red dates, wolfberries and other spices, add salt, cane sugar, and soybean (a sauce made of fermented meat and fish) to season and color, boil over high heat, and boil over low heat.

Meng Wu guarded the fire, and Zhu Xiang went to cook steamed vegetables.

This dish is not enough for King Qin and other big stomachs to eat, Zhu Xiang slices the tenderloin of the cow, sheep and pig and seasons it in a bowl, and uses green beans, sunflower vegetables, bean sprouts, radish slices, potato slices, etc. to the bottom, pours a layer of vinegar on top to taste, and steam it in a pot.

Small bowls of steamed vegetables are nutritious and delicious, and the key is that they are particularly hassle-free.

It's a pity that there are no chili peppers now, and chopped peppers should be put on the steamed vegetables to be the most delicious.

The wine used to make drunken chickens should also be replaced with flower carvings. Huadiao drunken chicken definitely tastes better than rice wine drunken chicken. Nowadays, the alcohol concentration of rice wine is still a little worse.

When Zhu Xiang put the steamed vegetables in the basket, the soup was almost boiled.

After Zhu Xiang filtered the soup, put it in a basin and put it in cold water to cool, wrapped the soaked chicken in linen cloth and tied it tightly, and also put it in a steamer to steam.

After the chicken rolls are steamed, the soup has basically cooled. After Zhu Xiang poured the rice wine into the soup, he rolled the chicken in cold water to cool it and slice it in.

"Actually, the chicken rolls should be soaked in wine overnight, and the next day it tastes the best. But now you don't have this condition, so you can cut it into thin slices and soak it, and it can quickly absorb the flavor. Zhu Xiang said, "Come, take a bite." ”

Cai Ze and Meng Wu immediately came over and enjoyed the privilege of being a cook.

Cai Ze squinted his eyes and said: "The wine is rich in aroma and delicious, just like drinking a good glass of wine." ”

Meng Wu could only say one word: "Incense!" ”

"Let's serve you the food first." Zhu Xiang smiled, "I hope you don't get drunk." ”

Meng Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It is estimated that it will be difficult. ”

How can you not want to drink more when you eat meat full of the aroma of wine?

"By the way, you must tell your lord that Zheng'er can't drink." Zhu Xiang said, "Children drinking alcohol is not good for their health. ”

Cai Ze raised his eyebrows: "Zheng'er must want to eat." Aren't you afraid of him crying? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "He cried about this matter, I will write it down for him, and give it to him when he grows up." ”

Cai Ze raised his forehead: "Don't remember Zheng'er's embarrassment anymore." Beware of him being mad at you when he grows up. ”

"I'm his only uncle, how could he be angry with me?" Zhu Xiang has no fear.

Chunhua wants to kill Zheng'er for her lover and illegitimate child, and Zheng'er can choose to forgive. I'm just recording a little bit of Zheng'er's black history, what can he do to me?

"Okay, okay." Cai Ze didn't bother to tell Zhu Xiang. Anyway, Zheng'er was angry, and it wasn't Zhu Xiang who coaxed him.

Zhu Xiang happily poured the remaining flavored rice wine into the pot and boiled the fish soup directly.

Rice wine and fish soup is said to be a confinement dish. In fact, the nutrition is not much different from boiled fish soup, but it is delicious.

When the drunken chicken was served, Lin Zhen was finally saved.

He teary-eyed and gave the king of Qin a dish: "Your Majesty, please eat...... What's the smell of alcohol? ”

"The master father said that this dish is called drunken chicken, and it must not be eaten by the prince Zheng." Zhu Xiang's old servant said, "Children drinking too early are not good for their health. ”

King Qin swallowed a piece of chicken slices and bowed his head: "Did you hear it, Zheng'er, you are not allowed to eat it." ”

After taking a nap for a while, Ying Xiaozheng, who pulled Zichu over during the meal time, was stern: "Zheng'er has grown up!" And it's not alcohol, it's just chicken with a little wine, and Zheng'er can eat it! ”

"No." King Qin looked at the plate of drunken chicken, which was not much, and made people pour wine, ignoring Ying Xiaozheng's bulging cheeks, and changed cups with Fan Ju, Bai Qi, and Lin Zhen, and tasted it slowly.

Zichu took Ying Xiaozheng and sat down, looking at Ying Xiaozheng's quiet appearance of not crying or making trouble although his face was full of dissatisfaction, and once again refreshed his cognition of his son's precociousness and stability.

Ordinary children should cry because their demands are not met, right?

Soon, steamed vegetables and fish soup were served one after another. When Zhu Xiang came with a few mud lumps, the dishes were finally ready.

Fan Ju sighed: "Zhu Xiang, you can remove the mud and serve it again." ”

Zhu Xiang explained: "The moment the mud shell is broken, the aroma of chicken and lotus leaves gushes out. This is the happiest moment when eating lotus leaf chicken. ”

King Qin beckoned curiously: "Quickly present it to the widow." ”

King Qin took the small hammer handed over by Zhu Xiang and gently smashed the mud shell of the lotus leaf chicken.

As Zhu Xiang said, the mud lumps, which originally had no taste, gushed out with a fragrance after the mud shell was crushed, which made people feel appetizing.

King Qin's throat moved, and he said with a smile: "Sir, when it comes to eating, you really should listen to what Zhu Xiang said." You try it! ”

Fan Ju took the hammer and cracked open a clay shell. Although I smelled the fragrance once just now, when I opened the shell, I felt different.

I didn't feel happiness or anything, the gluttonous worm must be moving.

Zhu Xiang used to make lotus leaf chickens was a half-sized rooster, and the weight was not too large, so even Ying Xiaozheng also prepared a separate lotus leaf chicken.

With lotus leaf chicken pads, other dishes are enough for a few big stomachs to eat.

King Qin's interest in drunken chickens was greater than that of lotus leaf chickens. When he heard that the drunken chicken was more delicious after soaking in wine overnight, he ordered someone to fetch more wine and asked Zhu Xiang to make more.

Zhu Xiang said: "I copied the recipe to the gentleman's chef, and put it in the palace ice cellar when soaking, which tastes better." When I send it to the palace, the taste changes. ”

King Qin accepted the son and gave the wine to Zhu Xiang.

After a meal, the drunken King of Qin held Lin Zhen's hand again and took Lin Zhen back to the palace for a long talk.

Zhu Xiang, Zi Chu, and Cai Ze watched Lin Zhen, who had a stiff expression, go away. As soon as there was no sign of the carriage, the three of them immediately burst into laughter.

"Lin Li's expression, I really laughed to death!" Zhu Xiang held his stomach with one hand and patted his thigh with the other.

Zi Chu held on to the door frame and smiled so hard that he couldn't stand up straight: "I didn't expect the king to love Lin Li so much." ”

Cai Ze laughed so hard that he coughed: "Lin Li is very unruly in front of Gong Lin, it's really interesting to see him serious for so long." ”

After the three finished speaking, they continued to laugh.

Fan Ju rubbed his ears, a little wanting to reprimand the three young men. But seeing their cheerful appearance, he sighed, and went back to his yard with his hands behind his back, out of sight and out of mind.

Bai Qi watched for a long time, then bowed his head and said to Ying Xiaozheng, who was grabbing his cuffs: "Zheng'er, why don't you go to your uncle's side?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng snorted coldly: "Don't give me drunken chicken, ignore my uncle." ”

Bai Qi laughed.

In the end, Ying Xiaozheng still failed to eat drunk chicken. He secretly swore that when he grew up, he would let the chef make him drunken chicken every day.

But will my uncle nag and say that drinking every day is not good for your health? Ying Xiaozheng pondered and sent his uncle to tour the world in his place. My aunt and uncle also went with her. His uncle and aunt were not at home, so no one cared about him drinking every day.

Ying Xiaozheng didn't realize that his current thoughts were like a naïve bear child.

After Zhu Xiang returned home, the house immediately became lively.

When Lin Zhen finally escaped back from the palace, the family was even more noisy.

Ying Xiaozheng followed Lin Zhen every day, and although the wind and cold got better soon, he delayed his studies a little bit.

Fan Ju endured it for a long time, but he couldn't bear it, and reprimanded Lin Zhen on the grounds that he was like Lin Zhen and was considered an elder of Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen secretly complained, how could Ying Hou and his old father have an old relationship, and it is almost the same if there is a feud.

Zhu Xiang and the others lived a few days of stability. King Qin seems to have a lot to do, and for the time being, he has not issued guidance on the documents submitted by Zhu Xiang.

When the official appointment document for Lin Zhen came down, Zhu Xiang was summoned to the palace alone.

King Qin sat in a large and comfortable chair, holding a roll of paper in his hand.

Zhu Xiang went back to Zhao Kingdom, and the palace changed so much that he couldn't recognize it.

The efficiency of the Qin people is indeed too high.

"Zhu Xiang, what did you see when you observed the country of widows?" King Qin put down the paperwork and asked, like a gentle elder.
