Chu Qiao usually only cares about food, but she has never seen such a big open fire.
When she shouted like this, the presiding eunuch was startled. The eunuch rolled his eyes, turned around and retreated. There was only so much time, and Li Chunxiang liked to waste it, so let her waste it. After the time passed, she would also lose.
.
Chu Qiao walked slowly to the stove. She felt that the fire was so hot on her face that she could hardly breathe. There was also that black hole that could stew her if she was thrown in.
On the case, there were meat and fish, and the fish was a living eel, swimming around in the basin, long, as scary as a snake, and occasionally flipping in the water happily, as if talking to Chu Qiao
Demonstration.
Chu Qiao swallowed, her heart beating in panic.
If he wanted to make this dish, he would naturally have to kill the eel, but the thought of catching such a slippery and scary thing made Chu Qiao suddenly get goosebumps.
The ingredients placed on the case include chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, fennel, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, sesame, cinnamon, and even sandalwood, mint and other spices.
For a moment, Chu Qiao was a little confused. Where should she start? She had been secretly reading the palace cookbook, but she didn't see the article about cooking on the stove. She knew nothing about cooking.
Anyway, let's see what dish we want her to cook first.
Chu Qiao opened the note with trembling hands, and saw the name of the dish requested to be cooked. After just one glance, Chu Qiao almost turned around and ran away.
“Royal Jin Ma Fragrant Eel”
This must be making things difficult, the most shameless way of making things difficult. She can stir-fry like other people, throw in some ingredients randomly, and make a dish, but she can't kill a live eel. She can't do it no matter what.
If you can't do it, even if you can do it, you still don't have the courage.
Chu Qiao looked at the big eel swimming happily in the basin, and her heart couldn't help but twitch three times in a row. This eel was round, slender, and snake-shaped, and she almost spit it out at Chu Qiao.
She stretched out her hand several times and then retracted it, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
If it was said that Fourth Miss Chu trembled in front of a fish, no one in Yueyao Town would believe it. Is there anything she is afraid of?
While presiding over the eunuch, he glanced at Chu Qiao with a smile, and looked at Chu Qiao proudly. Even if this girl is capable, she still has to kill fish. This eel was the biggest one he picked and looked the most like a snake. Girls are said to be afraid of this.
, even the royal chef in the kitchen has to be brave to kill him.
Judging from the girl's expression, she was grinning, and there was a high probability that she wouldn't be able to cook this dish.
"How come she doesn't move when others have started? If she doesn't do it, will she fail?"
Li Bin was sitting below, watching the excitement. What she paid most attention to was the female handyman named Li Chunxiang. This little girl was very good-looking, and she was also very clever. Li Bin looked forward to her winning more than anyone else.
Ah, if she won, the excitement would be nice to see. But why did Li Chunxiang reach out her hand and become motionless? Why didn't she cook? Li Bin was a little worried for her.
"Li Chunxiang, what's going on?" she asked the maid next to her.
"I don't know, Li Chunxiang was in a daze facing a basin."
From Li Bin's position, she couldn't see what was in the basin, so she naturally didn't understand the reason why Chu Qiao was in a daze.
"I'm really anxious. If she loses, she won't be able to see anything anymore."
Li Bin is going to win a jackpot, and the jackpot is Li Chunxiang.
"Yes, it would be interesting if she won." The palace maid next to her covered her mouth and laughed.
Before the case, Chu Qiao bit her lip and froze with her hands. She raised her eyes and looked around. She found that everyone was staring at her hands and wondered why she was so slow to move.
What should I do? It’s absolutely impossible to cook without using your hands, but you can do it... She can’t kill this fish...
Suddenly, Chu Qiao had an idea and thought of a good way without killing the fish. This method also allowed her to temporarily escape the competition. By some strange coincidence, she reached out to the basin and looked at the eel tremblingly.
, deliberately staggered, and hit the water basin with his arm. The water basin fell to the ground with a clang, and a huge eel twisted on the ground like a swimming snake.
"Run, run away, why did you run away?"
Chu Qiao pretended to be panicked and leaned down. The eel cooperated very well and rushed out following the flowing water a few times.
"Catch, catch it!"
Chu Qiao dragged her injured leg and pounced on it. She didn't catch any eels, but she splashed cold water on her face. She laughed. This fish can run as far as it can and don't come back.
As soon as the eel ran away, Eunuch Ping stood up in panic. He was afraid that the eel would get under Libi's feet and startle the dragon fetus, which would cause trouble, so he shouted loudly.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go and catch it?"
At this order, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids rushed forward, and even pressed down Chu Qiao who was catching eels. Chu Qiao could not even move, and the eels twisted even further.
Eunuch Ping's face turned green and he shouted loudly.
"I told you to catch fish, what did you do to catch her?"
"Yes, yes, what are you trying to catch me for? To catch that fish, no, it seems to be... a snake!"
Chu Qiao was afraid that the incident would not cause too much trouble, so she shouted "snake". When she shouted, she didn't know who answered.
"Ah, there are snakes, there are snakes!"
Following this shout, the eunuchs and palace maids looked at the thing rolling on the ground, and they really thought it was a snake. Who is not afraid of this? The palace maids who had never seen an eel screamed in fear.
Eunuch Chen, Eunuch Wang, and Eunuch Lan all stood up, wondering why there was a snake?
"How bold. Where did the snake come from in the palace?" Eunuch Lan was a little angry.
"I don't know either." Prince Wang broke into a cold sweat.
Suddenly the dining room became a mess.
"No, it's not a snake, it's an eel, an eel."
The eunuch in charge was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He stretched out his hand to explain, but no one listened to him. He had no choice but to rush up to help catch the eels. Maybe there were too many people and the ground was slippery. He fell down several times.
A few competing cases nearby were knocked down, and green onions, ginger slices, Sichuan peppercorns, and pepper were all flying high.
"A sneeze!"
The pepper powder flew down, Chu Qiao sneezed hard, got up with difficulty, and looked at the entire competition venue. Now there was no need to compete at all. It was completely changed beyond recognition.
Eunuch Ping was sweating profusely and quickly asked people to escort Libi from here. This place was already like a battlefield.
Concubine Li yelled and left the dining room under the cover of the palace maids. She really couldn't figure out how the competition turned into this.
Soon the eel was caught by the elegant and handsome royal chef. He stood there holding the eel while it was still twisting.
