Sara boiled the water, and Ashley and Amanda put the cut melon flesh, leaves and vines in one after another. They blanched it as instructed by Jia Zhengjin and then took it out immediately and set it aside for later use.
Jia Zhengjin asked Sara to scoop out the water, wait for the iron pot to heat up, and ask Ashley to pour a bowl of oil.
Zion and others looked on and felt heartbroken. This oil is very precious, and there is only so much left. Use it all, and there will be no more oil for the lamp at night!
Although the oil they buy is cooking oil, it is mostly used as fuel for lamps and they try to save as much as possible.
As long as the "princess" insists, no one can disobey the order.
When the oil was hot, Jia Zhengjin directed Ashley to pour the Sumi melon meat into it and stir-fry it with a wooden spatula.
As soon as I threw it in, an alluring fragrance came out, and everyone present was stunned.
The smell is so fragrant that your appetite will increase immediately after you smell it, and your mouth will be filled with saliva.
Why does it smell so good? Strange!
Nonsense, pouring so much oil into it, it’s strange that it doesn’t smell good!
Stir-fry according to Jia Zhengjin's instructions, add salt, and as the melon meat gradually becomes cooked, add some more water and continue to stir-fry until the melon meat is completely cooked.
The sound is very lively.
Ashley was very surprised. She didn't expect that she could make such delicious dishes according to the princess's instructions without knowing the ingredients at all. It was simply unimaginable!
When Jia Zhengjin gave the order to take out the pot, he quickly put it into a large wooden basin for vegetables and carefully brought it to the table next to him.
Then immediately go back and start cooking the Sumi leaves in the same way.
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad!" Jia Zhengjin came over to check the finished fried sumi melons. It was really good that Ashley could do this for the first time!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have chopsticks, so I had to grab a wooden fork and prepare to take a bite.
"Wait a minute!" Before she could take action, Zion hurriedly stopped her, "Your Highness, it's not yet certain whether this unknown food is safe. You should wait a moment! I'll test it for you to see if it's poisonous. If it's safe,
It’s never too late to eat!”
"Princess, please wait a moment!!" The people nearby shouted in unison, with nervous expressions.
Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, the royal family really has a tradition of testing poisons, and probably this world is the same.
He put down the wooden fork, but also said: "Something suddenly came to my mind, telling me that this is not poisonous, should it be fine?"
"No matter what, safety comes first!" Zion said cautiously, picked up another wooden fork and carefully poked a piece of fruit flesh, put it to his mouth, hesitantly opened his mouth, took a small bite and slowly sipped it in his mouth.
"How's it going?" Latin asked worriedly, "Is there any problem? If you feel something is wrong, spit it out quickly!"
Others around him were also watching Zion nervously, and if there was any problem, they would come to rescue immediately.
Zion's frown suddenly melted away after the food entered his mouth. He pursed his lips a few times and suddenly showed a shocked expression. Then he opened his mouth and ate everything left on the fork in one gulp.
"What are you doing?" Latin was scared, "You don't have to eat so much. It will be very troublesome if it is poisonous!"
Zion didn't speak, just chewed the fruit pulp in his mouth quickly, the expression on his face kept changing.
"Hey, Zion! What's going on?" Latin asked worriedly, staring at his face closely.
Zion still didn't speak. After finishing one piece, he hesitated a little, then poked another piece with his fork and put it in his mouth.
La Tingxin said: What are you doing? Is it okay to taste food for a princess?
Just watching Zion eat with enthusiasm, smelling the tempting fragrance in his nose, and his stomach growling constantly, he finally couldn't help but pick up the wooden fork, and thought to himself, I will try it for Her Royal Highness the Princess!
I poked a piece and put it in my mouth, and immediately showed a surprised expression.
How could there be such delicious food? Why do I feel that none of the delicacies I ate at the Ressel Palace when I was a kid were as good as this!
The two old men actually forgot that they were tasting food for Her Royal Highness the Princess. They took wooden forks and stuffed each piece into their mouths, immersed in the delicious food and unable to extricate themselves.
The people next to me looked at it and thought, is it really so delicious? In front of their noses, there seemed to be an invisible hand teasing them, pulling their noses closer and closer.
In the end, they all couldn't help it, and completely forgot about their own positions. They only knew that they were so hungry that they all picked up wooden forks and started eating one piece at a time.
After a while, they found that the basin was empty and realized that something was wrong. They all turned pale and fell to their knees almost at the same time, kowtowing to Jia Zhengjin: "Your Highness, we are guilty!!"
They all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise them.
It was obviously a poison test for the princess, but it was completely eaten in an instant without leaving any trace. This is very disrespectful to Her Royal Highness.
It was all because the melon meat was so delicious and everyone was so hungry that they committed such a crime.
Faced with the important task of pleading guilty, Jia Zhengjin laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter! At least it proves that the food is not poisonous."
"Your Highness, we deserve death!!" Zion's face was ugly and filled with self-blame.
"We deserve death!!" The others also knelt down and shouted in unison.
Ashley, Amanda, and Sara, who were cooking over there, were at a loss for a moment.
"Okay, okay!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand, "We still have a lot of Sumi melons, we might as well make another one! And there are also Sumi leaves and Sumi vines, by the way! You can even pick out a small portion after a while.
of Sumi seeds and fry the rest!”
"Seeds?" Zion showed a surprised expression, "Seeds can also be eaten?"
"Of course! And it's very fragrant when fried, just like fried melon seeds."
"Fried melon seeds?" The group of people all had blank expressions.
"Well, you don't need to understand." Jia Zhengjin said, "In short, there is enough food, so don't worry, just eat!"
"Your Highness Princess," Zion asked hesitantly, "you just said to pick out a small part of the seeds, why don't you fry them all together?"
"Of course you plant it in the ground! When it matures, everyone can eat it every day!"
"Your Highness, this kind of thing can't be harvested every day. It can only be harvested once! And it can only be planted one or two seasons a year." Zion said, "You don't understand these things. Besides, we don't know.
I don’t know how to grow this new food, and I don’t know whether to grow it or not..."
"Don't worry about this. From this food, you should be able to believe that the things that suddenly appeared in my head are real, right?"
"Yes! Your Highness the Princess may really have received a gift from God!" Zion said excitedly, "This is God's blessing!"
"The knowledge I gained also includes how to better grow various crops, including how to cook them, and other various things." Jia Zhengjin said, "Moreover, I have a way to plant Sumi melons all year round and harvest them every day!"
