Xiao Nianzhi already had some ideas in her mind. When Master Xu asked, she thought for a while and asked: "Should it be done all at once or in batches?"
There are definitely a lot of high-quality dishes to choose from, but do you want to show them all at once, or do you want to serve them in batches so that they are not the same every time?
In this regard, Master Xu thought for a while and said: "How about dividing it into batches?"
Xiao Nianzhi thinks this is very good. She does it once. Although it can make people very amazing, it only surprises people once.
After that, if there is no freshness, it will lose a lot of meaning.
However, if it is fresh and surprising every time, then it will leave a deep impression on people, right?
After getting Master Xu's answer, Xiao Nianzhi first mentioned two classic dishes: "Let's have boiled cabbage and Wensi tofu."
Master Xu:......
Very good, never heard of it.
Boiled cabbage looks simple, but it tastes very different.
It looks like boiled cabbage, but it definitely tastes bland.
In fact, the layers of processed broth make the cabbage soft, tender and delicious.
Xiao Nianzhi first briefly explained the principle of making boiled cabbage.
The key point is not the cabbage, it’s the boiling water, it’s the soup stock.
How to make the stock delicious, and after processing it layer by layer, make it look as clean and clear as pure water.
This tests the skills of the chefs.
Of course, the soup stock cannot be truly processed into pure water. It can only be said to be infinitely close. From a distance, it looks like real pure water.
After Master Xu listened, he became interested.
Process the stock?
The imperial dining room has been hanging with soup stock all year round.
The stock is ready-made, so you can use it whenever you want, and you can also make a fresh pot at any time.
But how to make the stock pure and clean...
This is a test, but Master Xu and the others like this test!
Master Xu was about to lead the chefs into action, but before doing so, he thought about making Wensi Tofu as well.
Wensi Tofu is a dish with a relatively light taste. What is amazing about this dish is its visual effect.
Delicious tofu can be made by any skilled chef.
However, how to cut tofu in an amazing way is your skill.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that there should be no problem with the knife skills of the imperial chefs, so she only explained it verbally.
In fact, she may not have done anything for a long time, and she is not sure whether she can succeed at once.
I heard from Xiao Nianzhi that it is best to cut the tofu into very fine filaments so that the roots are clearly defined, slowly blooming, and finally melt in the mouth.
Cut the tofu into very fine shreds?
Preferably like hair?
Is that soft and tender tofu really good?
The imperial chefs got excited, and no one wanted to admit that their knife skills were poor, so they all geared up and started preparing directly.
However, there are also some people who think that their knife skills may not be that good and have already started to prepare other ones.
They still need to prepare the boiling water in the cabbage, and Wensi tofu also needs side dishes.
It doesn’t mean that it tastes light, or that it is boiled directly.
That’s not amazing, it’s frightening!
Therefore, fresh bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ham, chicken, and shredded vegetables for garnishing all need to be carefully selected.
Someone has to do everything, make the soup, carefully prepare the best-tasting cabbage, and watch everyone cut the tofu.
Wensi Tofu really tests your knife skills.
Even if you are a person with excellent knife skills, you will not be used to the soft and tender feel of tofu when you first get started with it. As you cut it, you will find that the tofu is not very controllable.
It takes repeated practice before you can succeed.
Of course, if you are a master with basic knife skills, you don’t actually need to practice for a long time.
Xiao Nianzhi watched for a while and found that two people had already touched the doorway and were about to try for the fourth time. He felt that this matter was probably stable and there was no need to do it himself.
She was actually afraid of tipping over, after all, it had been a long time since she had done anything.
In modern times, she is actually not very willing to cut it. This dish is occasionally served during holidays. When the mood comes, she will serve it as a special dish.
Other times?
It’s not like she was so full that she felt embarrassed for herself.
No, no, no, no cutting!
While Xiao Nianzhi was busy, Yan Xingxuan was listening to His Majesty.
The one who came this time was the envoy from Xilou. After all, it was Yan Xingxuan’s maternal ancestor’s home.
Although he was recorded in the name of the Queen Mother, her biological mother was not shameful, and the Queen Mother had never thought of erasing his true origin.
Therefore, His Majesty did not have to say a few words when people came to the West Tower this time: "I heard that among the people who came, there was your aunt's daughter. I don't know what the purpose of the West Tower was. I thought that if there was no guarantee,
If we can’t get married here, we have to drag someone along.”
Yan Dexuan and Xiao Nianzhi are now in love with each other.
Your Majesty also feels that Xiao Nianzhi is very good and does not want anything else to damage the relationship between these two people.
Therefore, this time is also a reminder to Yan Xingxuan that if he does not want to be entangled by then, it is best to prepare in advance.
Regarding this, Yan Xingxuan thought for a while and asked very bluntly: "Brother Emperor, you just said that the person who came to get married this time is their moon envoy. I think if you can be selected as the moon envoy, your appearance should be outstanding." Yan Xingxuan’s biological mother was the Moon Messenger of Xilou back then.
The Moon Envoy in the West Tower...
To put it simply, it is the official mascot. When needed, you have to recommend someone with good looks and a good personality to prepare for emergencies.
As for what is needed?
Naturally, it is used to apologize after losing a battle or doing something bad!
To put it bluntly, he is a chess tool.
A few years ago, the envoy from Xilou came to visit, and the envoy from Yue was also among them. He was the one who almost took Meng Yinze back.
That time, the two parties only discussed some business transactions, so the marriage was not involved. The moon messenger did not need to enter the palace, so he had no worries, so he had other thoughts.
However, I heard that not long after the other party returned, he was arranged by Xilou to go to another small country and became the wife of the corresponding king.
The current Moon Messenger is said to be that person's biological sister. She is six years younger than the other person and is about the same age as Xiao Nianzhi this year.
Yan Xingxuan feels that the key to the success of the marriage lies in...
What does the other person look like?
As a person like the emperor, in addition to interests, he only cares about his face when it comes to the harem.
If you don’t look good, the other party will definitely not be willing to take it.
However, those who can be the Moon Envoy must have put all their efforts into choosing the most beautiful ones.
However, I can’t stand it. The weather in the West Building is not good, and the Feng Shui is not good for people.
Therefore, even if the beauty moon ambassador is elected by the whole country, sometimes her appearance can only be regarded as ordinary.
Yan Xingxuan's biological mother was a rare beauty, and he inherited this very well.
The moon messenger who fell in love with Meng Yinze before, Hu Mi'er, actually looks pretty good, but the long-term dry climate makes her skin look a little bad.
The person coming now is the other party’s biological sister.
Yan Xingxuan was very afraid, because the other party's skin condition was not good, and then the emperor's ugly face refused, and the other party started to let himself go, grabbing anyone at random, and then going back to be his husband!
His boxing and kicking skills are no match for Meng Yinze. If he is really caught, can he run away?
Yan Xingxuan thought uncertainly, taking the opportunity to test the emperor's tone.
