my lord, please eat

Chapter 19 Fresh and Tea

One of the male protagonists of the story also learned the version after this "escalation of the situation".

Xing Yihong laughed even more exaggeratedly.This made An Qi frown: "What on earth are you thinking? That child looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the gossip in the palace."

"Didn't you see the depression in the eyes of that little servant when he saw this king? He is not a guy who goes with the crowd. But it's a pity that such a good talent is ruined by gossip. You can tell Wang Tianfu in a while, let Let him go and explain it. If such rumors spread again in the future, this king will break the legs of those spreading lies!" Of course, when necessary, it is also necessary to bring people over.No matter how bad you are, you can still have a lot of delicious food and drink as income.This transaction will definitely not lose money.

The situation in the palace is very good, but it is another scene in the imperial kitchen.

Gong Xiaoyong was so depressed that she was even a little listless when cutting vegetables.

So Yang Qifang talked to the person concerned. "Little Yongzi, you don't need to take those words to heart at all. In fact, everyone knows that you can't have anything to do with the prince. What happened this time is a bit too much, I have already reprimanded them."

Gong Xiaoyong knew what was good and what was bad, and he respected Yang Qifang and was willing to obey him. "Returning to the chief executive, I don't take what they said to heart, but I'm worried. If the prince finds out about this and thinks it's because I want to climb up or something, when the time comes... if there is a catastrophe... What can I do? I'm only 15 years old, I haven't lived yet..."

Yang Qifang couldn't help laughing after listening.This kid really has something to say.In the palace, no one would speak like that.Haven't lived yet... yeah, who can live enough. "It's okay, the prince knew about it a long time ago. Instead of blaming him, he even sent an order to prohibit people from discussing in private and trouble you. Our family can see that although the prince has nothing to do with you, he really loves you Craftsmanship. So even if it is for the appreciation of the prince, you have to do it with your heart."

Gong Xiaoyong let out several "bah" in her heart.Xindao: You are still passing this order because you want to be honest!Why is this prince so tiger!At this time, shouldn't these rumors be left to dry and let them fend for themselves! ! ! !Could it be that the people in this time and space are different from the human thinking mode they are familiar with? ? ! !

It is a pity that no matter which time and space it is, people with almost the same internal structure have almost the same thinking mode.In other words, King An Yao's "coming out to suppress" at least convinced those people that the prince still liked Gong Xiaoyong's matter very much.

Yang Qifang, Mu Xiang and even Tang An and Zhang Kong felt that this was not a bad thing.Of course it can't be called a good thing.But in this harem, any backing is a life-saving rope, as long as it is not out of line, at least it can guarantee that Gong Xiaoyong can complete this competition safely and completely this time.As for the future, as long as he has the appreciation of the masters, even if it will not be smooth sailing, he will not be as passive as Xian Zai.

However, Gong Xiaoyong felt that life in the palace was really beautiful!There is no most beautiful, only more beautiful!

Fortunately, the new round of questions was told to all the contestants three days before the competition, which finally gave Gong Xiaoyong time to switch her brain to a different frequency band and concentrate on cooking food.

With the theme of "fresh" and "tea", make two dishes.This is a very broad subject, so almost any material can be chosen.But the premise is that since tea and fresh food are used, neither party can steal the taste of the other.So it's not easy to get it right.

Since Gong Xiaoyong got this topic, she was also thinking about what to do when chopping vegetables.He can see it now.If you don't want to be better than yourself, it's definitely not good.Not only does the master have high expectations of him, but even the head manager of the imperial dining room is also optimistic about him.I don't know which piece of meat on my body is so rare, Tang An and Zhang Kong's two royal chefs are also very optimistic about him.If this is really "clicked" and messed up, everyone will be really sorry.But he really doesn't care about new delicacies!I don't know if the prince is good at talking, can I arrange a No. 2 No. 3 for myself...

The day of the competition is approaching in the blink of an eye.Seeing that many people looked a little uncertain, Gong Xiaoyong finally felt a little happy.Although he doesn't have much confidence, at least he can guarantee that the food he makes is not bad.

Of the remaining twenty people, half of them will be fired this time as usual.Everyone worked hard.As long as they pass this round, even if they don't get the first place, they will still be in the top ten.Maybe in the future, he can be promoted by the master of another palace.This is definitely much more convenient than climbing up step by step based on seniority.

But this time, [-] people cook together instead of in batches.There is no time limit, but just imagine, if all nineteen people have been dealt with, the remaining person must die in a hurry?

This time there is another big difference, that is, not only King An Yao came to be the judges, but also three other people.One of them is the eldest prince Xing Yirong, and the other is Si Tianjian's Taibu Song Chunbai and the sixth princess Xing Yunqing who came to join in the fun.I heard that the emperor was going to come over, but he didn't come to join in the fun because he had something to do with the court.

Hearing this news, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the mental pressure was finally the one that hadn't risen to the top.

Infected by the atmosphere of the scene, Gong Xiaoyong was also very nervous.To be honest, after the first time travel, he always had the feeling that he was dreaming.Everything feels unreal.But since the crab shell incident, I was slapped by Jiang Pin, which seemed to wake him up, and was also shocked.He finally fully realized that here, he is really alive, not in a game.It will be bitter, tired, and even dead.The more time passed, the stronger this feeling became, so he didn't want to show off more and more, but he knew that he had no power to choose, this was the fate of a slave.It cannot be changed with just one space.

After tidying up her thoughts, Gong Xiaoyong began to concentrate on making his two dishes.

Sea cucumber in chicken sauce is the dish he chooses to be "fresh".

After Gong Xiaoyong heard the news three days ago, she decided on this dish first.So two days ago, I started to boil this pot of chicken juice.

There are not too many spices, only bay leaf, green onion and ginger are used to stew the whole chicken.Finally, stew until the bones are crispy and the meat is pureed.After filtering out all the spices and bone meat, only the rich soup is left, and then add the minced chicken leg meat, and the chicken skeleton continues to boil.It was not until this morning that all the meat paste and bones were filtered out.The soup was clear yellow and translucent, but it was extremely delicious.After Gong Xiaoyong put in salt for seasoning, he immediately walked into half of the space. o(╯□╰)oThe sea cucumbers in Yushanfang are naturally the best.After soaking her hair, her size made Gong Xiaoyong speechless.But such good ingredients are so refreshing to use.So he happily shredded the sea cucumber, blanched it in hot water, and then took it out to drain the water.

Yellow mustard is used in this cold salad.This thing is rarely used in the palace, Gong Xiaoyong still asked Tang An, and then got the yellow mustard seeds from him.Even the steamed ones have been prepared since yesterday morning.It can be said that he really put a lot of effort into this dish.

Sea cucumber, chicken juice, a little yellow mustard.Mix the three things together to make a delicious and refreshing cold dish.Speaking of which, this dish is not Gong Xiaoyong's own creation, it comes from an ancient cookbook.However, his grandfather made it for him when he was a child, so he was very impressed.

Another dish he chose was tofu and green tea.

This green tea uses Ninglu tea, which has a light tea taste and will not take away the deliciousness of the ingredients.But tea has a sense of endlessness, so it will not let the ingredients take away its original elegance when used as a sauce.

Tofu is just plain tofu.But in order to get rid of the beany smell, Gong Xiaoyong boiled the tofu and shrimp shells together for a while, and then soaked them for another ten minutes.In this way, the tofu absorbs the unique umami taste of the shrimp in the shrimp shell.Then soak it in tea water for about ten minutes to get rid of the smell of bean and shrimp, and it can also blend with the taste of Gorgon juice, highlighting the aroma of tea.

The texture of the tofu here is relatively tough. After mashed, mixed with shrimp paste, the shape of shrimp will not be loose after being compacted.Finally, brush with a layer of protein, and then steam it into shape.When done, place on a plate.

Add a little cooking wine to the first two tea soups of Ninglu tea, put salt and water starch together to make a sauce, boil it in a pot to make a thick sauce, and then pour it on the tofu and shrimp.The freshness of the shrimp in the whole dish is reduced by half because of the combination of tofu, but the taste of the dish is more prominent because of the addition of the elegant fragrance of Ninglu tea.

Originally, he wanted to make Longjing shrimp, but he chose this method because of the quiet and elegant fragrance of Ninglu tea.Of course, if the method is special, the chance of winning will be greater.

Gong Xiaoyong did not serve the last dish this time.After he was done, he took the divided dishes and delivered them to the table.

But because King An Yao has the highest status among the four "judges", so he must be the first one to send.So Gong Xiaoyong lost the opportunity to deliver the "meal" at the table in person.

Under Xing Yihong's eyes, Wang Tianfu immediately ordered the little eunuch to take the things from Gong Xiaoyong.And Gong Xiaoyong could only stay where she was, stupidly.This... What's the situation with Nima? ? ? ! !Your lord, are you sure we don't have enmity?Really?Really really really?

Seeing Gong Xiaoyong's unconcealable depression and entanglement, Xing Yihong was in a good mood. "Little Yongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, your complexion is not better than before. But are you tired today?"

Emma!It's enough!Gong Xiaoyong almost cried. "Go back to your lord, this servant is strong and healthy, and is absolutely fine. Thank you for your concern." He said, but his heart was pumping the villain.

"Tell me, what is the name of these two ways today?" Although teasing this little slave is quite interesting, Xing Yihong subconsciously felt that he didn't want to bully him.So I changed the subject right away.What's more, it is really unreliable for a majestic prince to moleste a young eunuch in public for a long time. (You also know ==)

Speaking of a serious topic, Gong Xiaoyong immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, these two dishes, one is 'Chicken Sauce with Shredded Sea Cucumber' and the other is 'Ninglu Shrimp'."

Xing Yihong was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.This little guy is so cute.You must be angry with yourself, right?Although it is a great sin for a slave to dare to be dissatisfied with his master.But our prince just thinks that it is not only funny but also cute! "Why, these two ways don't have nicknames today?"

Gong Xiaoyong was showing teeth and claws in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "The slave is ignorant, and only knows those few words, so I really didn't think of good names for these two."

Xing Yihong nodded: "Then I will try this dish with no elegant name first, and see how it tastes."
