The practice of Buddha jumping over the wall is very complicated, but Yu Xiaocao used to only talk about it on paper. Having prepared ten copies of the raw materials for Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Yu Xiaocao experimented again and again at home. In the past few times, either there was a problem with the ratio of raw materials, or the seasoning was not properly placed, and the taste was always not perfect enough.
However, even the failed Buddha Tiaoqiang is made of top-quality delicacies from mountains and seas. Yu Xiaocao's cooking skills are excellent, and the taste is already very delicious for the Yu family. Therefore, before the day when King Yangjun is going to celebrate for Xiaoshitou, there is always a rich and attractive fragrance floating over the Yu family's old house, which makes the Qian and Zhou families next door drool, and Qian Wu can't help it. Going to the front of Yu's old house, I want to see what delicious food Xiaocao is tossing about.
While trying, Yu Xiaocao took a small notebook and a charcoal pencil to write and draw. There was a problem with the cooking method of any ingredients, and how to solve it was written in the small notebook. If she finds the best cooking method for any ingredient, she will write it down immediately...
After many attempts, finally after failing eight times, in the ninth attempt, she found the best ratio and cooking method, and cooked the "Buddha jumping over the wall" which is so fragrant that it makes those who hear it stop and taste it. !
Every time Yu Xiaocao tried to make Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Zhu Junyang would visit and taste it in person, and gave her many constructive opinions and suggestions, and the foodie's mouth could always pick out some details. However, this product also ate a lot of failed products in each experiment. Even if it is a failed product, the taste is not comparable to ordinary dishes.
As soon as this altar Buddha jumps over the wall is ready, the aroma is not comparable to the previous altars. Even the potential foodie like Yang Junwang, who claims to have never tasted delicious food, is deeply intoxicated by it, and almost gets lost in the rich aroma. Fragrant.
After the cover of the altar was lifted, the courtyard was filled with the smell of meat. Zhu Junyang was full of praise after tasting it, and he couldn't find any faults. As Xiaocao said, "The smell of meat from the altar floats around, and the Buddha heard it and bounced off the wall!" That is the Buddha Smelling this fragrance, you can't help but break the precept and taste a few mouthfuls, right
The first altar finished product, the Yu family only smelled the fragrance, but did not taste it. On the surface, he looks indifferent, but inside he is very filial and affectionate to the Yangjun King, who wrapped the altar of Buddha jumping over the wall in a small bag, and brought it back to the other courtyard halfway up the mountain, to share the unique delicacy in this world with his mother and concubine.
After the other courtyard was built, the second day after Princess Jing moved in, she invited Yu Xiaocao to play in the other courtyard. Under the leadership of King Yangjun, Xiaocao "visited" every corner of the other courtyard, pointed to a well near the small kitchen in the main courtyard, and said that it was the top mountain spring water, and that it would be a good thing for the princess to use it for cooking and tea. body is good. In fact, she asked Xiaobutianshi to help transform the well into Lingshi water.
At the beginning, Su Mama, who was beside the concubine, was skeptical of her words. Under the insistence of the concubine and the county king, the concubine used the water from the well for her food. Within a few days, the princess's body improved greatly, her appetite improved a lot, her skin was fair, tender and rosy, and she looked a few years younger. Loyal Madam Su repeatedly said that the water and soil in Dongshan Village support people!
Concubine Jing lived in the other courtyard for half a year. When she got better, she put on riding clothes, and accompanied by a few maids and women who stretched out their hands, went climbing, hunting, or collecting some wild fruits with her own hands, and let Yu Xiaocao Helping brew fruit wine, life is quite nourishing and fulfilling. Even when Prince Jing came to see her, she didn't have time to accompany him, which made Prince Jing very depressed.
When Yu Xiaocao is free, she will cook some light food and send it to other courtyards from time to time. Princess Jing once joked that the meals cooked by the top cooks and imperial cooks in the mansion were not as good as the common meals cooked by Xiaocao!
The self-esteemed cooks in the other courtyard were not convinced at first, thinking that the concubine and empress would only find the porridge and side dishes in the countryside delicious when they were tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas. But when they tasted the food made by Yu Xiaocao, their hearts were shocked: Such simple ingredients can make delicious and refreshing food, this is the legendary "Back to Basics" cooking method, right? Unexpectedly, they have pursued the culinary realm for most of their lives, and it was easily achieved by a teenage girl!
The chef from the other courtyard and the imperial chef given by the palace restrained their arrogance and put down their bodies to ask Yu Xiaocao for advice. Xiaocao didn't have anything to hide, and she couldn't tell any great truths, so when she was cooking, she asked two famous chefs to watch.
The famous chefs in the other courtyard are very grateful. Every chef has his own special skills, which are not easy to show to others. Yu Xiaocao's candid approach made them feel a little more admired. From the observation, the two celebrity chefs have their own understandings, and they feel suddenly enlightened, and their culinary skills have improved a bit.
When King Yang brought back Fotiaoqiang, it was already dinner time, and the two cooks each cooked their best dishes, waiting for the two masters to taste them. Because of the county king's tricky mouth, he can point out the shortcomings of the dishes every time. When the masters are eating, the two famous chefs will stand by and listen to the county king's opinion or the princess's request.
"Yang'er, what treasure are you holding in your arms?" Concubine Jing looked at the table full of bland food, feeling a little unmotivated. What has that girl Xiaocao been up to lately? It's been a long time since I came to another hospital to accompany her. Concubine Jing felt that her body was already stronger than the average person, and she no longer had to strictly control her diet. She wants to eat roast chicken, roast duck, and smoked sausage...
Suddenly, Princess Jing sat up straight, her nose fluttered slightly, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she stared at the jar exposed by her son when he opened the bundle. The jar doesn't look amazing, but there is a unique fragrance overflowing from it.
Concubine Jing's face was filled with a smile before she knew it, and she asked softly: "Yang'er, what delicious food did that girl Xiaocao cook up? It seems to be meaty, can I have a taste, mother concubine? Just have a bite!" "
Zhu Junyang saw his mother and concubine staring expectantly at the Buddha Jumping Wall in his hand like a child, and felt both funny and distressed.
According to the father and king, when the mother and concubine are in good health, they are a complete foodie. One second she was arguing with Prince Jing and swore to ignore him for the rest of her life, and the next second King Jing took out the snacks she brought back from the palace, and she leaned over like a puppy smelling the smell of meat, and almost wagged her tail. up.
It's a pity that later, the concubine mother broke her body because of giving birth to him, and was plotted against by malicious people during the process of recuperating. It was not until she met Yu Xiaocao that she gradually recovered. Over the years, the mother concubine has taken more medicine than she ate, and she is restricted to light food even though she has no pleasure in meat.
"Yang'er! My body is already in good health. The imperial doctor has said that eating a few pieces of meat is no problem!" It was not the first time that Princess Jing gave false doctor's orders for delicious food.
Seeing the eagerness on the mother's concubine's face, Zhu Junyang put the jar on the table, thought for a while and said: "This dish is mostly made of seafood treasures, which are rich in nutrition, and the concubine mother can eat some. However, it is not too late at night. You can eat more, so as not to accumulate food!"
As soon as she heard that she could eat it, Princess Jing was as happy as a child, she impatiently lifted the lid of the altar, and the intoxicating fragrance wafted away. The two cooks immediately widened their eyes and straightened their necks, wishing to get closer to the jar to see what kind of food could exude such a tempting aroma. I have been cooking for most of my life, but I have never found any kind of ingredients that can make such a rich and layered fragrance!
After the jar was completely opened, the fragrance of Buddha jumping over the wall wafted over the entire courtyard. The maids, women, servants, and stewards who were busy at their posts all stopped their work, sniffed vigorously with their noses raised, and swallowed secretly. Drooling.
The most difficult thing was Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang who served the princess for dinner. They were strictly trained maids, and they had been serving the princess for many years. They closed their mouths tightly, not daring to say a word, for fear that the saliva would spray out uncontrollably along with the words.
Fortunately, the king of Yangjun took over Mei Xiang's job, and he moved closer to the concubine, picked up the small official white porcelain bowl in front of her, scooped some shark's fin, abalone and sea cucumber from the jar, and put them in her bowl in front of her.
Princess Jing impatiently took a sip. The rich taste of the seafood and the strong meaty aroma burst in her mouth, and she instantly felt as happy as if she had flown into the air and soared freely among the white clouds. She ate all the food in the bowl in two or three bites, and instead of having her son serve her, she made enough food and clothing by herself. After tasting all the ingredients, she felt that her stomach was already full, but she still couldn't stop.
Mei Xiang secretly swallowed the saliva that flowed to her mouth, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your meal tonight has exceeded your usual amount, and you will feel uncomfortable if you eat at night..."
Zhu Junyang, who was enjoying the delicious food, realized the expression on the concubine's mother who wanted to eat and was entangled, and her movement of rubbing her stomach, and hurriedly moved the jar away from the concubine mother, saying: "Concubine mother, Xiaocao Having said that, it’s best to eat at least 70% full at night, which is good for your body.”
"But, this altar dish is really delicious! I don't want to stop at all!!" Concubine Jing pouted her mouth in pity, watched her son eat eagerly, and secretly spurned her stomach for not living up to it. How good it would be to eat three bowls in one meal! !
Zhu Junyang speeded up his eating, and after more than half of the food in the jar went down, he couldn't eat anymore with his stomach in his arms. The two chefs who were waiting at the side couldn't wait to ask: "My lady, the king of the county, can I have a taste?"
Except for the Buddha jumping over the wall, no chopsticks were touched at all for other dishes on the table. These rare foods in the eyes of maids and women are not as attractive as the leftovers from the jar at this time. The master's leftover meals are usually used to tip the girls and women below. Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang had long been thinking in their hearts whether this delicacy would be rewarded to their sisters, when two chefs suddenly appeared. Lan Xiang couldn't help but glared at the chef quietly!
