Mao Dasong snorted coldly and arrogantly, curled his lips, and walked past Chu Qiao. The guy's legs were not healed yet, so he was limping and looking a little embarrassed.
After Mao Dasong walked over, he and several other chefs whispered something, and then went to another dining room together. He thought that some details of roasting the whole lamb should be avoided from Chu Qiao, and he didn't want her to eavesdrop.
Go and learn.
"I really don't know what else she can do to roast a whole lamb, just don't burn her hands." After the last guy walked out, he dropped this sentence.
Chu Qiao stood in the dining room with her mouth pursed, and found that besides herself, there were only a few helpers left. The dining room was much cleaner, but it was hard to say whether the roasted whole lamb could be cooked.
"Chef Li, I just came here and I haven't cooked yet." A helper said in a low voice.
"Me too... I may not be able to help you with anything." The other one said dejectedly.
Looking at the state of these people, Chu Qiao knew Mao Dasong's intention, but it didn't matter, even if she was the only one left, she would have to cook this roasted whole lamb.
The taste of sheep does not depend on the number of people or the lack of people, but on the craftsmanship and accuracy.
"Okay, the rest of you who are willing to help me can stay, and those who are not willing can take a day off. I won't force you."
As soon as Chu Qiao finished saying this, a few more people went out, and there were less than four people left. There were two more people who didn't know where to go, just standing there stupidly. The situation was really embarrassing. It seemed that everyone really had no confidence in Li Chunxiang.
.
After looking around for a week, Chu Qiao's last gaze was fixed on Jade. She didn't even leave, but stood there with her mouth pouted, not knowing what kind of grievance she had suffered, and her eyes were red.
"Aren't you going to follow Chef Mao?" Chu Qiao asked strangely.
"If he doesn't want me, I'll follow you!"
Jade sniffed, rolled her eyes, and continued: "Li Chunxiang, if you don't hold grudges, I will help you. Jade is not good at anything else, but she is very strong. She can help you carry the sheep and roast the sheep. I just don't know
Are you willing to use me?"
Jade knew that she had offended Chunxiang because of Mao Dasong, and now she was afraid that she would become someone whom her father and mother did not love.
"If you want to stay, of course you can." Chu Qiao nodded, and Feicui immediately grinned and said that she must do her best to help Chunxiang do this well without any ambiguity.
At this time, Lianyun also opened the door and came in.
"And here's me, I'm here to help you too."
If others ask for help, Chu Qiao will certainly be happy, but she really can't afford this woman. Lianyun must have some purpose in wanting to help her so diligently. Concubine Jin Hui is eager to put the people around Li Zhaoyi in a good mood.
The experts dug it out and probably started to doubt Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao didn't want Lianyun in her heart, but she couldn't refuse her. The more she deliberately rejected her, the more suspicious she would be. She decided to accept Lianyun, but she just had to be careful to avoid her in some matters.
"Okay, you can stay and help me. You don't have to do the hard work. Just boil some water or something." It's not that you don't need Lianyun to do the hard work, but that you need to avoid this woman's eyes in some important aspects. Chu
Qiao didn't want to be watched by Concubine Hui just because he roasted a whole lamb.
Just when Chu Qiao was arranging some chores, a young eunuch came in outside the door.
"Eunuch Hai said that the livestock farm needs sheep. I asked Chef Li if he has any special requirements. If not, we will handle it according to the normal method."
"Yes, I've already written it down. I'll leave this to you. Just ask them to handle it according to what the note says." Chu Qiao handed a pre-written note to the little eunuch, who responded,
He took the note and left.
Lianyun, who was standing on the side, became alert. She blinked her eyes, walked up and asked softly.
"Why didn't you dictate what was written above to him?"
"Oral? That's killing sheep. You don't know how cute they are last time I saw them. I really can't bear it. Thinking of those sheep's eyes makes me feel uncomfortable. How can I say it out loud? Why don't I just write it down so that
They took care of it casually.”
Chu Qiao turned her eyes and glanced at Lian Yun. As expected, this woman was unwilling to let go of any detail, even asking about such a trivial matter.
"So that's it."
Liao Yun pretended to smile indifferently, then turned around and started working absentmindedly, but occasionally his eyes would look outside the imperial dining room, wondering what he was thinking.
It was really uncomfortable to cook roasted whole lamb under such surveillance. Chu Qiao took advantage of Lianyun's back to hurriedly prepare all the seasonings and spices, calculating the ratio of each portion.
, according to the general method of roasting whole lamb, there should be no need for so many spices.
This is the first time Chu Qiao makes roasted whole lamb, so she must be careful. Adding more or less spices will affect the taste of the mutton. How to remove the smell and maximize the flavor of the mutton is the ultimate goal.
.
You cannot add too much spices like asafoetida. You have to add them little by little along with the soup. How much you add depends on the taste of the cook.
Chu Qiao took a whiff and found that the smell was quite fragrant. When she was about to consider the weight, Lian Yun came closer to her out of curiosity.
"Ah, what are these? Why haven't I seen them before?"
"Don't say you haven't seen it, I haven't seen it either. This is distributed by the supervisor of Shangshi. I will put in everything that can be put in. Maybe it will make a blind cat hit a dead mouse. It is delicious and rich.
What about nutrition?”
Chu Qiao suddenly mixed the seasonings and spices with her hands, threw her whole body into the boiling water pot, and then closed the lid, blocking Liao Yun's curious sight.
Liao Yun looked at Chu Qiao in shock, this action was too careless.
"You don't know how to..."
Before Lian Yun could say what she said, Chu Qiao made a gesture of silence and warned Lian Yun: "You can't let people hear you. You have to pretend to know how to do it. It's not easy to get along in the palace."
"You really can't...Okay, I understand."
Li Yun squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Qiao with uncertainty. It was hard to believe that this kind of nonsense could be appreciated by Supervisor Shang Shi? It seems that Li Chunxiang was just playing a little clever, and this time he must have exposed it.
Hairy feet, Xue Wanyue, the director of Shangshi, was offended, but Lianyun was happy to watch the fire from the other side and watch the excitement.
"I thought you were very proficient in spices?" Liao Yun said casually.
"I know some common ones, and some I don't even know what they are. I've never seen them before. It doesn't matter if I put some in there. They were simply brought over by the director of Food Shang. You can't go wrong."
Chu Qiao glanced at Lianyun and found that there was a look of disappointment on Lianyun's face. I don't know if this expression was because she was worried that Chu Qiao would not be able to cook the roasted whole lamb? Or if some other purpose had not been achieved, so she was so disappointed.
