Under Chu Qiao's gaze, Eunuch Ping couldn't sit still and had to speak.
"Of course not... But Li Chunxiang, although there is no evidence for yesterday's incident, you are the biggest suspect, so you have to prove that this matter has nothing to do with you, indicating that the eel's escape was purely accidental."
In fact, privately, Eunuch Ping was very dissatisfied with the presiding eunuch for slandering Li Chunxiang so aggressively yesterday, but he couldn't produce any evidence to refute it, so he had to ask Li Chunxiang today, hoping that she could prove that she was innocent, and don't let his face
No light.
Eunuch Ping didn't want to offend anyone because of this matter, but he thought about it for a long time yesterday and seemed to have guessed something. It was obvious that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Li Chunxiang in this competition. Otherwise, how could he follow her instructions in a kitchen help competition?
This dish of royal brocade eel? This is the title of the royal chef competition.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Ping was heartbroken. First, Eunuch Chen personally came forward to speak for Li Chunxiang, which made him full of suspicion. Now, the eunuch in charge was so troubled. He absolutely didn't believe it. It was because the eunuch in charge didn't like Li Chunxiang, but
What's going on behind the scenes?
It seems that this Li Chunxiang is no ordinary person.
"Eunuch..." Chu Qiao understood what Eunuch Ping was worried about. This matter could be big or small. If he couldn't prove it, he wouldn't be able to protect her.
"Yes, if you can make the golden eel, you can prove that it was an accident that the eel ran away." The eunuch in charge finally revealed the purpose. He just waited to see how Li Chunxiang would be unlucky.
Chu Qiao knew that things would go to this point, and they really wanted to see how she could make this dish.
Faintly, Chu Qiao was sweating. Thanks to her going to the old chef yesterday to learn this dish, invisibly, she saved the old chef's life, and the old chef also saved her life.
The presiding eunuch curled his lips and sneered, emphasizing in a high-pitched voice.
"Li Chunxiang, everyone is watching. If you can't prove it, no one can protect you. Just wait and accept the punishment according to the palace regulations."
"My father-in-law, do you think Chunxiang deliberately released the eel?" Chu Qiao asked coldly.
"Is it necessary to ask?"
The presiding eunuch said disdainfully, rolling his eyes and looking at the sky, as if he didn't want to talk to Chu Qiao.
In fact, it was Chu Qiao who deliberately released the eel, and it also ruined the situation. However, seeing that the eunuch in charge looked like he would not give up until he killed her, Chu Qiao definitely could not let him succeed.
"Since my father-in-law said so, I made this Yujin sesame eel today!"
As soon as these words came out, the presiding eunuch Wangtian's arrogant expression immediately calmed down. He stared at Chu Qiao with wide eyes, thinking that he had heard wrongly. After a moment of daze, he walked step by step in front of Chu Qiao and stared at her.
He stared at her, trying to make sure that this palace daughter was telling lies? Or would she really do it?
"You said you want to make Yu Jin Ma Fragrant Eel?" The presiding eunuch repeated Chu Qiao's words just now, with a tone of uncertainty.
"Since father-in-law is suspicious, just watch with your eyes wide open."
After saying that, Chu Qiao leaned down, pinched the tail of the eel in the bucket, and lifted it directly out of the bucket. Perhaps the eel was too lively. After Chu Qiao straightened up, she twisted her body and raised her head.
He almost touched the face of the eunuch who was approaching him. He was so frightened that he took a step back and his face turned pale.
Chu Qiao curled her lips and smiled. She thought she was the only one, Miss Chu Fourth, who was afraid of this thing, but she didn't expect that he, a man who was not considered a man, could be so timid.
"You, you..."
The presiding eunuch swallowed his saliva, and before he could say the stuttered words, Chu Qiao Zhijie picked up the eel and threw it hard at the case.
The eel formed a large arc in Chu Qiao's hand and was whipped out like a whip.
"ah?"
The presiding eunuch was not spared this time and was scorned. The eel also fell to the side of the case and lay limply motionless.
A simple action frightened the presiding eunuch so much that he stepped back and was speechless.
"Father, Chunxiang is making Yujin Ma Xiang eel, can't you stand far away?"
Chu Qiao put down the soft eel and smiled sheepishly at the eunuch in charge.
The guy wiped some water on his face and had to step back. He looked embarrassed, but what he paid most attention to was the eel. Why was the fish so motionless? Li Chunxiang's movements were too quick.
Already?
Seeing the uneasy look on the presiding eunuch's face, Chu Qiao almost laughed. He deserved to be splashed with eel water like this. Who looked at her like a thief? She was so close and he didn't want to kill her immediately.
The evidence of making Yujin Ma Xiang eel was revealed.
He wants Chu Qiao to be kicked out and severely punished, which is not that easy.
"I'm going to kill the fish..."
Chu Qiao deliberately stretched the "butcher" for a long time, then nailed the eel to the chopping board, pulled the tail of the fish with her hand, slashed the belly of the fish with a sharp knife, and quickly took out the internal organs, and then the fish bones. Today's
The movements were already much faster than last night, which dazzled those who participated in the competition and made them even more surprised.
"So this is how eels are killed? I've seen it, I've seen it."
Discussions are spreading. Most people kill eels because they are afraid of being slippery or losing their hands, so they scald the eels to death with boiling water. This will damage the fish and lose its flavor. Today, I saw Chu Qiao killing the fish like this. How could it not grow longer?
experience?
The muscles on the presiding eunuch's face twitched hard several times, and her eyes became filled with resentment. How could she kill a fish?
But in fact, Li Chunxiang finished handling the eel easily, then numbly blanched the fish segments in water, then fed them with small ingredients and waited for them to taste.
"She handles eels in an orderly and virtuous manner."
"The fish bones are removed and it won't hinder the mouth. It's really high quality."
"It seems that yesterday's statement that she deliberately released the eels to cause trouble was a bit arbitrary..."
When Chu Qiao heard this discussion, she felt confident. When she raised her head, she found that the face of the presiding eunuch was ugly, and a pair of unwilling eyes were unwilling to leave her hand for a moment. This guy hoped to find something in these details.
What's the flaw?
"After the fish meat has been fed to remove the fishy smell, it needs to be oiled and heated to 60%!"
This six-point heat was summed up by Chu Qiao when she watched the old imperial chef cooking. Although he didn't speak, Chu Qiao watched carefully.
"It will take a while to take it out, drain the oil and wait for it to be copied."
When Chu Qiao fished out the eel meat and carefully prepared the auxiliary ingredients, Eunuch Lan nodded approvingly, and the two senior chefs also looked at her with approval.
"The ingredients are also correct, and the portions are in place... It's strange that in the imperial kitchen, there are very few people who can cook this dish. She can prepare all the seasonings that she can help with. If she hadn't done it before, she would never have done it.
possible."
"Wizard, wizard!" The strong and muscular chef squinted his eyes in admiration.
