For the King of Wei, who was often ridiculed by the queen mother, teased by the emperor, and even impeached by the imperial censor because of his delicious food, shame is actually dispensable.
However, when he met Xiao Nianzhi's smart and curious eyes at this time, King Wei felt a rare shyness in his heart. The tips of his ears were quietly dyed with a hint of light pink, and his eyes were a little wandering.
Xiao Nianzhi looked at the duck in surprise, then at King Wei, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
In the plot, there is not much description of the late emperor's youngest son, who is two years younger than the prince.
But Xiao Nianzhi summarized two key words from the middle.
One is a lover of delicious food, while the other party once traveled far and wide for delicious food.
One is free, and the other has never married a wife or taken a concubine for this reason.
Xiao Nianzhi is a little curious about such a character, but not much.
Yan Changxia has already spoken out, but if Xiao Nianzhi refuses to answer, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the nobles?
Moreover, roast duck...
Aunt Yu didn’t enjoy it much last time because the portion was small.
Xiao Nianzhi had previously thought that when he received his monthly payment, he would ask the purchasing manager to bring two of them back, and they, the master and the apprentice, would start a small stove.
It seems that the other party has a lot of ducks now. I wonder if I can ask for one as a reward if I take action?
Facing Yan Changxia's longing gaze, Xiao Nianzhi pursed his lips and chuckled: "Then I am showing off my shame?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Changxia became anxious: "How can it be a show of shame? The food made by my sister must be delicious!"
After eating kebabs, Xiao Nianzhi has been promoted to the God of Cooking at Yan Changxia's place!
Well, there is someone more powerful than the imperial chef!
When the little princess praises people, her eyes are sincere and pure, and it is easy for people to get lost in the compliments of "sister" and "delicious".
Fortunately, Xiao Nianzhi's mind is still clear.
Considering that the roast duck takes a long time, she explained it to Yan Changxia and Prince Wei in advance: "Your Majesty, Princess, the roast duck will take a little longer. It will probably be eaten in the evening. At noon, I will probably eat something else.
”
According to Xiao Siye, they probably haven't had lunch yet.
Xiao Nianzhi was going to ask them if they had any preferences and taboos, so that he could avoid them easily when he was preparing.
Before the King of Wei spoke, Yan Changxia shook Xiao Nianzhi's arm in dissatisfaction: "Why are you calling me princess again? You have to call me sister."
After saying the last two words, she raised her head proudly and expectantly, like a proud little peacock, cute and smart.
Xiao Nianzhi was amused by her appearance and called out coaxingly: "Sister."
Yan Changxia nodded immediately: "Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
It's obvious that she really wants to be a sister.
I heard from Aunt Yu that Princess Mingyue is Prince Kang’s only daughter.
As the younger brother of His Majesty's first mother, King Kang was naturally favored by many. Therefore, he never went to the fiefdom after he was crowned, and Your Majesty never thought of driving him away.
Because the other party doesn't like money, nor does he like power. He only loves two things in his life.
Princess and flowers.
There were no concubines in Prince Kang's palace. As the direct princess and the only princess, Yan Changxia was favored by everyone in the palace. Even the queen mother in the palace was very fond of this little granddaughter.
Maybe it's because she doesn't have a sister, so Yan Changxia is quite eager.
Of course, she also requires a sister like Xiao Nianzhi, who is beautiful, has a good temper, and likes her.
If it were the noble ladies of the clan, or the princesses in the palace...
Then forget it.
She feels that she is fine alone.
Let’s not talk about anything else. The only thing that makes Yan Changxia the princess is her extremely thick thighs.
In fact, when he was in Zhuangzi, Xiao Nianzhi had the idea of hugging his thigh.
But soon, she rejected it.
Because it is easy to coax the silly and sweet little princess, but the Prince Kang’s Mansion behind her is not all silly and sweet.
Moreover, a friendship that starts with calculation of interests will not last long in the end. It is better to let nature take its course and get along normally, which is simple and reassuring.
Even if he couldn't hug this thigh in the end, Xiao Nianzhi at least gained a lot of goodwill in front of him.
If there is nothing serious, please come to the door. Aunt Yu is there to help, so the other party should be able to take care of him.
Xiao Nianzhi was about to ask if there were any taboos between the two of them. When she was ready to prepare, Prince Wei took the initiative and said, "We can just eat from the cafeteria at noon. Don't worry about Miss Xiao."
Although King Wei was very greedy for Xiao Nianzhi's craftsmanship, he was embarrassed to let Xiao Nianzhi cook and help when he thought of the complicated production process of roast duck, the time it took, and the smoky process next to the oven.
Let’s prepare lunch for them.
You can actually eat the food in the cafeteria with just your teeth.
Yan Changxia didn't understand, but Uncle Wang said so. She nodded hurriedly: "Uncle Wang is right."
King Wei:.
I still have to find a husband for my little niece. This knowledge is not enough!
Yuji wine:.
Your Majesty, the same goes for you!
Xiao Nianzhi is going to prepare the roast duck.
It doesn’t take long to actually bake it in the oven, but the previous preparation process takes a long time.
The drying step alone takes one and a half to two hours.
The backyard baking room is not small, and the oven is quite large.
King Wei prepared five ducks generously, and after putting them all in, there was still room in the oven.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi did not plan to mix the roasting, as it would easily mix the flavors.
However, the fire has been lit and the temperature is right. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to bake anything else?
Thinking of this, she went to the stove to look at the ingredients.
Lunch has just been cooked, and there are not many ingredients left.
When Laishun saw Xiao Nianzhi looking for ingredients, he hurriedly walked over and handed over another basket: "The prince also brought some fresh meat and seasonings. Let's take a look, girl, is there any use?"
While talking, he put the basket in his hand on the stove.
The opponent's movements were very light, but the meat was very heavy. When he put it on the stove, it made a "bang" sound.
When he heard that there was meat, Xiao Nianzhi was surprised and opened the floral cloth covering it to take a look.
The top layer was wrapped in oil paper. It must be the seasoning the other party mentioned. Xiao Nianzhi first took it out and put it aside, ready to look at it for a while.
After the oil paper was removed, a pile of pork was exposed underneath. It was all well processed. The pork belly was cut into thin strips, and the front and back legs had been separated. There was also a tenderloin and several ribs.
Almost all the meat from the better parts of the pig is here, as well as two pig trotters.
Xiao Nianzhi quite likes to chew pig's trotters, but she doesn't like doing it.
Because if this thing is not made well, it will smell like pig.
Xiao Nianzhi was not in a hurry to touch these. She saw the pork belly cut into strips.
Ready-made stoves, prepared materials, and sliced pork belly.
Charcoal grilled crispy pork belly, we must make it!
