Chapter 748 Pancake Fruit
The third prince felt that although Chu Dong was usually ill, he was considerate, so he agreed gently and returned to chewing slowly while eating.
After finishing his meal, Xiaobao also gave him his hawthorn and wolfberry tea to digest food and make the princes jealous.
"Chu Dong, we won't laugh at you anymore, I'll give us one too!" The tenth prince felt that he was so humble to eat in one bite.
But it won’t work if you don’t do this. So many days have passed, and he hasn’t eaten the gold and silver steamed buns. It’s not worth it to miss this pancake in front of him again!
With the ten princes taking the lead, the other princes agreed: "We are not laughing at you either. We have all taken classes together. You won't mind kidding among classmates, right?"
Even the second prince nodded unconsciously.
Because the third prince was taken care of by Xiaobao, he felt that his relationship with Xiaobao was closer than other brothers. Because he was the queen, he had greater face, so he made another request: "Chu Dong, can you do two more? I want to give it to my father and mother!"
"Oh, that's right!" Xiaobao expressed his appreciation to the third prince, and said to the others: "Princes, you wait first, I will do it for you if I have done it for the emperor and the queen;
Alas, it is too difficult to be the emperor. The government affairs are so busy every day, and I can only eat the limited food in the palace. I can’t eat much good things in the world!”
This is like the chefs in the imperial kitchen were not selected from all over the world, and they could not make various flavors.
Xiaobao made two pancakes, one of which had a little more chopped pickles and a layer of sauce, so the color looked darker than the other.
Xiaobao served it on a plate and handed it to the third prince: "This darker color does not have coriander, it belongs to the emperor. The emperor has a stronger taste and likes to be saltier; the other one with coriander on it is for the queen, which is not too salty."
The eldest prince was silent.
As the eldest son, he never paid attention to the taste of the emperor and the empress.
Yes, he was too cautious in his usual manner, focusing on analyzing his father's expressions and constantly reflecting on what was wrong with himself, so how could he share the energy to study their tastes?
When the princes all ate the pancakes made by Xiaobao, the third prince had already watched the queen eat it and said to the queen: "The father is so busy. When my son just went to deliver the pancakes, he heard from Eunuch Li that his father had not eaten yet, and the dishes were warmed up, but the father never gave him food...
Luther, fortunately, I have a heart attack, otherwise if I become the prince, then... wouldn't it be a waste of life?"
Queen: "…"
I thought it was quite delicious when I was eating pancakes and the child was filial, so why did it suddenly feel like it changed?
The next day, the second prince also asked for leave half an hour in advance: "Sir, I feel a little dizzy today and want to finish class early."
On weekdays, the princes dare not come late and leave early. If they ask for it, there must be a reason. So when the second prince asked for leave, the gentleman agreed.
So when Xiaobao appeared in the kitchen, the second prince also appeared: "Chu Dong, what food do you want to make today?"
Xiaobao: "Egg dumplings!"
The second prince: "I want three copies!"
Xiaobao: "Thirty taels of silver!"
"What? Why do you still need money?" Xiaobao actually quoted, and the second prince was obviously caught off guard: "Why didn't you ask for money from the third brother yesterday?"
Xiaobao looked at him strangely: "I treated him yesterday!"
The second prince was about to laugh angrily: "Everything here is from the palace, and the ingredients are from the palace. What guests did you invite? Where did you want money?"
Xiaobao doesn't like to hear this: "How can I say? I didn't spend money on eating in the palace! Now I open a fire and cook a meal every day, saving labor costs. I saved the emperor money!
The chef who cooks the imperial kitchen takes the wages, but the chef I cooks doesn’t pay for the wages?"
The second prince laughed angrily: "Oh, how much does the chef earn a month? Your meal is not enough for one meal, but it costs ten taels!"
Xiaobao explained to him patiently: "The cook makes it cheap, why don't you eat it? Or is it delicious I made it, right?
Besides, am I a cook? I am a scholar!
You are eating the food made by a scholar. It is a knowledgeable food. Knowledge is priceless! How much is it to collect ten taels of silver per serving of you? Not much!
All scholars are scholars, and you are still princes. Don’t always fall into money’s eyes. Ah? What is money? Money is a bastard! Don’t always be money, it’s vulgar!”
"I..." The second prince was choked in an instant and couldn't speak - who was so fond of money?! At this time, the identity of the prince is important, do you have a little respect for the prince?!
However, if you continue to care about it, it is not good to say anything, but you are unwilling to accept it. The second prince simply asked, "You should talk about what egg dumplings are first?"
Xiaobao: "What are you talking about? You can just say it. I'll try two of you first. If you don't know, don't buy them, right?"
After saying that, Xiaobao ignored the second prince and cut a piece of pork's front leg into small pieces and started chopping the filling.
The meat of the front leg is very delicate and is best used to chop the filling. Xiaobao's mouth is not idle when chopping the filling. He imitates the famous Erhu song "Horse Racing" and starts to hum, constantly changing his voice, and also cooperates with the whistle.
As he hummed, he placed the emphasis on his left hand, one light and one heavy, one fast and one slow. The second prince could hear the majestic momentum and the passionate and intense horse racing scene.
Especially the "tuk-tuk" sound of chopping stuffing is even more like the sound of horse hooves galloping.
As the second prince listened, he closed his eyes to feel it - it wouldn't work if he didn't close his eyes. Xiaobao's attitude of chopping the stuffing was so eye-catching!
I saw Xiaobao squatting on horseback (because he put the chopped meat trunk on a small stool), closed his eyes, holding a kitchen knife in both hands and chopped it, but his face was facing the sky. To be precise, his nostrils were facing the sky, and they were sometimes big and sometimes small, and they were sometimes stretched and sometimes shrunk to control the airflow, just to imitate the sound of the Erhu.
In order to learn the sound of horse neighing, he could actually pull his mouth into a horizontal gourd shape. Oh, the expression said that hideous is not hideous, and that funny is not funny. Anyway, a good song "Horse Racing" can only be heard with your ears, and don't open your eyes to watch.
After chopping the meat filling and turning to the vegetable dumplings, I started chopping carrots and leeks, then putting salt, rapeseed oil, and the unique "MSG" of the Blue House, and started stirring.
After mixing the filling, stirring the eggs, and adding two spoonfuls of flour water to the egg liquid. The two eunuchs assigned by Eunuch Li to Xiaobao looked at them with good eyes and learned that they just didn't help.
This is not helpful, this is food, who can bear the responsibility for food problems? They just need to learn craftsmanship, and they may be used to please the nobles in the palace in the future.
Anyway, they didn't treat Xiaobao as their master.
After stirring the egg liquid, pour a porcelain spoon on the iron plate with the base of the oil, spread the egg liquid round and flatten it with the bottom of the spoon.
When the egg liquid encounters hot oil, it emits an attractive aroma. When the egg liquid just solidifies, put the meat filling on it, then fold the egg skin in half and press the edges with chopsticks to create neat wavy patterns.
