"Qingzhu, have you sorted out your things? I'm going to take action against your lady!"
Xia Qingxin shouted excitedly before entering the yard. She couldn't wait for others to taste her craftsmanship, and her whole body was beaming with joy.
"My eldest lady, you can't come in and talk." Qingzhu came out of the kitchen and saw Xia Qingxin running and waving something white in her hand.
"Miss, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Masks, this is our secret weapon, you will know later." Xia Qingxin tightened her grip on the small kitchen and was stunned.
Oh my god, the palace is indeed the most wealthy place in the world. It’s amazing that you can find so many non-seasonal fruits and vegetables in this day. This Qingzhu is really thoughtful and brought all the fruits. Just in time after eating.
It can be used as an after-dinner meal, not bad.
"Qingzhu, come here. Let's cut these things up first. I forgot to tell you just now. Bring over some bamboo skewers, the kind used to skewer candied haws, but they must be very thin."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After a while, Qingzhu came to the small kitchen with a group of people, everyone carrying their own tools.
"Little Li, little Xiezi, you two sit outside and cut bamboo sticks. The rest of you come in with me."
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, you guys come over and help me cut the vegetables. Xiaoqing, Xiaokong, Xiaoyi, you three go and see what has been left unwashed, wash it all and put it in order."
"Yes, Sister Qingzhu." As soon as the people from the Qingzhu Sect arrived, Xia Qingxin had no place to work. Who dares to let the Queen do the work? Doesn't it mean that they want to move their own heads?
"Qingzhu, you're good. You're becoming more and more like a hostess. She's more elegant than a queen like me. She's pretty much like someone I came from."
Upon hearing this, everyone wished they could not hear what the queen said. Could it be that she wanted to punish Qingzhu? Everyone was doing their job carefully, for fear of being implicated.
"Your Majesty, you can't talk properly. If the two of us are busy here, we have to work until dark. Why don't we need chili peppers? This is one basket of dried and the other is fresh. Which one should I use?"
Qingzhu held up the chili pepper and showed it to Xia Qingxin, waiting for her next instructions.
Aunt Zhang, who was cutting vegetables, was so frightened that she stopped what she was doing. This incident was so shocking that Qingzhu actually dared to talk back. Did she not want to live anymore? But please don't hurt them.
Aunt Li bumped Aunt Zhang with her elbow and signaled her to continue working. What's going on with Aunt Zhang? Can't you tell how much the Queen likes this Qingzhu? She didn't even wink at all. No wonder she had to fight in the back kitchen.
Get started.
The movements of all of them could not escape Xia Qingxin's eyes. It seemed that there was still someone who understood. After taking the basket of dried chili peppers, Xia Qingxin said as if unintentionally: "From now on, you will do whatever Qingzhu asks you to do. What she means is this."
I mean, you did a good job today, and I will give you a lot of rewards when you go back."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and knelt on the ground, looking happy, "Thank you, Queen."
"Get up and continue working."
There are a lot of people here today, so we can just finish all these things. It will be a real treat tonight.
"Qingzhu, come and put the mask on for me, and you too. Follow me to the stove and I'll teach you how to do it."
"good."
"Xiaokong, come here and light the fire. Everyone else should go out first." If it weren't for Qingzhu's reminder, Xia Qingxin had forgotten that there were still people lighting the fire, and what would she have done without a mask?
"Put it on for you." Xia Qingxin took off the mask and handed it to Xiaokong. She didn't know if they could adapt to the chili pepper smell. It would be bad if it choked her. She looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
Children, you need to pay attention to your growing body.
"Let's get started. I will teach you this only once. You must learn it." Once Qingzhu learns this, he will send her out of the palace. It is very dangerous for her to stay by his side. Putting her outside to do business will not only make Baili Ming
Xi's protection can also be more comfortable. Whether the two of them succeed in the future depends on their own destiny.
"Step 1: When the oil is hot, put in the oil for frying. Remember to stir-fry. Slice the ginger, 2 whole heads of garlic, and cut into two with a knife. Don't cut too small. 2 green onions.
Root, cut into 3-inch sections. These are auxiliary ingredients for adding freshness to the soup. Add 1 beef leg bone, about 4-5 pounds. You can also use other parts of the beef body bones, but leg bones are better;
Step 2: Fill the pot with water and bring the soup to a boil over medium heat. During the soup boiling process, pay attention to skimming off a layer of foam on the surface of the soup at any time. If you want the soup to be fresher, you can change the temperature after the soup is boiled.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a while, then add the fried aniseed ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat for about a quarter of an hour;
Step 3: Use a mesh colander to separate the cooked soup from the aniseed ingredients. Put the soup into another pot. This ingredient will be the soup used for scalding the vegetables and the soup added to the bowl for drinking. Put it in the bucket containing the aniseed ingredients.
Add water again to the pot, and you can repeatedly cook about three barrels of soup. After the second and third pots of soup are boiled over medium-low heat, then switch to low heat and simmer for about a quarter of an hour more to boil the soup.
Use a spoon to scoop up the top layer of spicy oil and put it into another small pot for later use.
Because this spicy oil is more fragrant, numb and spicy, if it is not put aside directly in the soup, customers who cannot tolerate spicy food will not be able to bear it when eating it. Of course, if you can tolerate spicy food, you can add it directly according to your taste before putting Malatang into the bowl.
In the bowl, or when the soup is boiled until the end and there is no flavor, you can also add a little bit of this spicy oil.
Step 4: Put the seasoned soup into the fire, keep it boiling, and then blanch the vegetables.
When blanching vegetables, put each dish into the blanching spoon in sequence according to the length of blanching time. Generally, the vegetables that are not easy to be cooked are put first, and the vegetables that are easy to be cooked are put last. In this way, you are done!
Wait a minute, I'll let you taste the beef when it's cooked."
Xia Qingxin finally finished boiling the soup. This was more laborious than making hot pot. Hot pots are always made fresh and eaten first. This one can also be sold, so it's no problem to walk around the streets.
"Miss, are you okay? Even though I'm wearing a mask, I can feel the refreshing smell of chili pepper." After saying that, he sneezed.
Xiaokong was so choked that she burst into tears. She looked like she was in pain. Xia Qingxin couldn't help but laugh when she saw her look: "Xiaokong, please go out and get some fresh air."
"Yes, Ah Zhi! Queen, please forgive me." Xiao Kong couldn't hold it back in the end, and was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"If you have nothing to do, go out quickly and tell them to come back later. The room is too choked."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Xiaokong got up from the ground and ran outside. The smell of physics was so intoxicating. If she stayed there for a while, she would definitely have tears and snot everywhere.
"Hahahaha, is the smell of this chili so great? When I first made it, there were people around the window. After the smell of the chili came out, everyone ran away. It seems that this method can be used to clean up Baili Ming in the future.
Jade, not bad, not bad."
"Miss, please keep your voice down, there are people outside."
"Okay, I got it, housekeeper. Come and have a try, the beef is already cooked." Xia Qingxin picked up a piece of beef in the pot, blew it to cool down and put it to her mouth to celebrate. Qingzhu saw her cautious look and his eyes
I am full of tears. The lady always treats me like this. How can I repay her?
"Eat quickly, why are you standing there in a daze?" Xia Qingxin felt that there was nothing touching about this action. In another world, it was just an action of tasting food, and she was not aware of Qingzhu's emotions at all.
"Okay." Qingzhu took the beef into his mouth and savored it carefully.
"Miss, this beef is so fragrant. It has a light spicy taste. It's tender and smooth. It's so delicious."
"Are you sure it's just a hint of spiciness?" Xia Qing smiled maliciously. We'll know later whether it's spicy or not.
Before he finished speaking, Qingzhu covered his mouth and started laughing: "It's so spicy. Why didn't it exist when I ate it just now? Shuishui!"
Xia Qingxin looked at Qingzhu's mouth that was about to get angry and laughed. She picked up an apple from the table and stuffed it into Qingzhu's mouth and said: "Stop drinking water, it's useless. Eat some fruit and you'll be fine in a while."
.”
Sure enough, Qingzhu no longer felt spicy after a while. He looked at the hot red oil in the pot and swallowed, "Miss, can I have another bite?"
After eating it just now, I feel like there is something wrong with not eating it in my mouth. The spicy feeling is too satisfying, and I feel that I shouldn't stop.
"Okay, let them skewer all the vegetables and meat on bamboo skewers and put them into the bucket. Put all the soup ingredients in it and put it on the fire to simmer slowly. We can eat it in the evening. I'm afraid this pot is not enough.
, I will make a pot of chicken-flavored soup later, please keep an eye on it."
"I know, as long as the lady lets me eat to my heart's content, I can do anything." It has to be said that every woman is born a natural foodie. As long as she is full, she will be in a good mood. This is an eternal law.
"When did Qingzhu become so greedy? Or is it that the food made by your lady is so delicious?" Xia Qingxin looked at Qingzhu metaphorically.
Qingzhu blushed and looked at her helplessly and said: "Qingzhu is not greedy. It's not that the food made by the lady is the most delicious. The lady always likes to tease Qingzhu, which is annoying."
"Okay, okay, no more joking, now pack up and get ready to call Wu Lei over to have fun together in the evening." Eat something spicy on this not too cold day to keep you warm.
"Okay, Miss will definitely learn how to be a slave again. From now on, this kind of work will be left to the slave. Miss can eat the slave whenever she wants."
"Okay, this is what you said, don't keep your words."
There was a lot of laughter and laughter in the kitchen. The finished products were placed in the kitchen and the fragrance spread all over the yard. Everyone was curious about who was making what was so fragrant, but no one dared to enter Fengchu Palace to inquire, so they could only secretly inquire.
Stand outside and smell the smell. (To be continued)
