"Since Uncle Cai is ill, we don't have to force it. Chef Wen and Miss Wen, please." Sheng Yaoshan is so smart, he has already guessed Cai Mi's worries, and followed his words, with one look, he warmed himself Of course, this matter will be done.
The group of three arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion while they were talking.
According to the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who pass through the main entrance must not be people of high status, but must also belong to the family of high-ranking officials and prestige. People who cook like Wen Shouzheng must never go through the main entrance. They have to go around the side gate , to avoid the line is.
In her previous life, Rou Wen had come to this Prime Minister's mansion, and every time she was called into the mansion, she would go to a side door to avoid people. The magnificence and magnificence of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the gentle memory, there is only the spacious and bright kitchen, and the long path leading to Shengyaoshan's study.
"General Sheng, you go in first, we go by the side door." Rou Rou bowed her body, saluted Sheng Yaoshan, and immediately wanted to take Wen Shouzheng around.
"Miss Wen, you don't need to be too polite. I think it's my first time to come here, and she must be very easy to get lost. Come in with me, so I can explain the kitchen myself." Sheng Yaoshan stretched out his hand to support him, thinking But he was taken aback, he didn't expect Miss Wen to look so young, but she was so polite, but the inside and outside of the words, why does it always feel like it's the first time Miss Wen came to the Prime Minister's Mansion? There is always some familiarity in the humble tone.
Wen Shouzheng is a cook who has lived in Xianyang since he was a child. The biggest place he has traveled is the provincial capital. Now that he has entered the capital, his eyes are already dazzled, not to mention the unconventional etiquette that he has never experienced before. At this moment, Mu stood aside in a daze, letting Wen Rou and Sheng Yaoshan greet each other.
"Rou'er, don't make trouble, you have never been here, everything is just according to General Sheng!" Wen Shouzheng said.
The tall Zhumen, the golden lion head door knocker, Sheng Yaoshan tapped three times, in the eyes of the tongue-tied doorman. Gentle read out the astonishment!
The majestic Wu Kui of the Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion! He actually walked through the main entrance with two cooks!
Ingenious stone wall barriers, fairyland-like pools and rockeries, all kinds of flowers and plants that cannot be seen clearly, as well as the domineering corners of glazed tiles, and the promenade of red lacquered columns that can't be seen at the end of the bend, several times in and out The courtyard looks like a maze...
It was the first time Ruan Wen entered the Xiangfu from the main entrance, all kinds of familiar and strange scenes, and various scenes from the previous life appeared in front of her eyes one by one.
Wen Shouzheng sighed softly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look too much, but held Wen Rou tightly with one hand, fearing that she would lose track of her, his feet became more hurried, and he followed Sheng Yaoshan to the Xiangfu's kitchen.
It is spacious at a glance, with all kitchen utensils and ingredients!
Presumably, apart from the imperial dining room in the palace, the kitchen of Prime Minister Sheng's house is the second largest in the Zhou Dynasty!
Luxuriousness is luxury. When the cook comes to the kitchen, no matter if he is familiar with it. Still unfamiliar, there is always an indescribable ease.
Wen Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief, staring intently at the various rare foods in the ingredients section, and thinking about the lunch menu in his heart.
"I've seen General Sheng!" The staff in the kitchen saw Sheng Yaoshan come in. They knelt down in front of him neatly.
"Get up!" Sheng Yaoshan habitually shouted, and immediately pulled Wen's father and daughter, and said loudly: "This is Chef Wen, the chef my father invited from the northwest, and King Huaide is at the mansion at noon today For the meal, Chef Wen is called upon to cook, and you all are good assistants to Chef Wen. If anyone makes a mistake, this general will definitely ask him!"
After the imposing introduction and explanation, although Wen Rou's identity was not mentioned, it was brought by Chef Wen after all. Everyone speculated that even though it was a girl. But I can't be negligent, it must be Chef Wen's helper, let's serve him well!
Sheng Yaoshan winked at Rourou in satisfaction, then turned around, and told him softly again before leaving: "You guys cook slowly. I'll come back later."
The kitchen has everything you need, seasonal ingredients in the north are here, and ingredients that are not available locally are also here!
Wen Shouzheng felt a burst of excitement. With such a well-equipped kitchen, he must let go and do a lot of work. He walked quickly to the food area, picked up a hump and started to cook.
Ruan immediately followed, pressed Wen Shouzheng's hand lightly, shook his head and reminded in a low voice: "Father, don't forget what General Sheng said, just stop!"
yes! This is Xiangfu!
Although Sheng Biji has everything you need here, in the final analysis, no matter how high the status of the prime minister is, he is just a courtier!
Liu Zhanggui is the third prince and King Huaide, he was raised in the palace since he was a child, so he has seen everything about food and drink.
If this meal is overcooked, Prime Minister Sheng will definitely fall into the trap of extravagance and indulgence;
If the meal is too light, it is suspected of being deliberately simple and artificial!
How can Liu Zhang eat satisfactorily and save Prime Minister Sheng's face? It seems that cooking is really a science.
Ruan Wen had been to Xiangfu in her previous life, so she knew the habits and eating methods of Xiangfu. However, this is rebirth, and it is not easy to make decisions overnight.
He pretended to ask a few cooks in the kitchen, and then asked the chef in front of the kitchen very modestly for advice.
The father and daughter carefully listed the recipes, and then let go of their hands and feet tremblingly.
Originally, the chef in the Xiangfu was a little tasteful, but there was an extra cook from the Northwest in the kitchen for no reason, and it was brought by General Sheng himself. Could it be that he wanted to steal my territory
But when he heard that the food was cooked for Liu Zhang, he sneered and handed it over.
Liu Zhang, the son of the most favored Concubine Li in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the prince who was courteous even to Prime Minister Sheng, it's better not to test his taste easily, lest he fail to please and be troubled instead.
Since this Northwest cook is new here, let him do it! Anyway, he is responsible for everything and has nothing to do with others!
Xu Shi was too polite, Xu Shi laughed a few times. Rourou clearly sensed a sense of gloating in the kitchen, and a trace of disdain suddenly surged in her heart.
Although it's the end of the list, it can't let dad lose face! Since we are going to participate in the chef selection competition in a few days, why not let Dad practice his hands and feet, and he should practice in advance!
Thinking softly, she whispered to Wen Shou's side.
The father and daughter hit it off immediately, one was in charge of the cooking, and the other was a helper. They cooperated tacitly, and the jaws of all the people present were about to dislocate!
An ordinary and exquisite eight-course cold dish, four meat and four vegetables.
Glutinous rice and sweet lotus root, soft and sweet;
Cold salad with Tianqi, with a pleasant fragrance;
Sweet baked fruit. unheard of;
Yipin sting silk, ingenious in mind;
Crystal drunk shrimp, appetizing and refreshing;
Shredded white chicken, tender and smooth;
Flavor mixed with meat. articulate;
Deep-fried golden cicada, crispy and unforgettable.
The fresh big herring was cleaned quickly, the skin was cut off with one knife, and the flesh was cut open with one knife.
With the help of the peony fish slices stolen from Duan Qina, the gentle dictation, Wen Shouzheng's knife, the slices of fish slices are like peony petals, blooming in the hot oil pan.
The golden yellow disc is fully opened.
With the roast chicken given by Ergou that day, the father and daughter reproduced the finger sucking of Chef Zheng's roast chicken. A bare chicken. Bright red and oily, full of fragrance, lying proudly on the plate, it makes the mouth water.
Red oil mutton unique to the Northwest, boiled in a big pot. The big plate is full, although it is not the slightest edge of exquisiteness, but the taste is enough to make people want to stop!
A plate of seasonal stir-fried assorted dishes, a mix of various dishes, rich in taste, no matter the color or taste, it is a good dish after meaty and greasy!
The hand-dried noodles are firm and springy. The characteristic meat sauce taste is thick!
The after-dinner refreshments even copied Chef Zhang’s Bamboo Crisps that day, but she was gentle and not greedy. She only borrowed one or two of them, because Sheng Yaoshan said, order as much as you want.
A meal, seemingly unremarkable. It is a visual and taste feast.
No extravagance, no waste, no expensive ingredients, yet unforgettable!
Sheng Biji put down his chopsticks, still wanting more. I was amazed in my heart: Could this really be done by that cook named Wen Shouzheng!
"It's delicious! It's delicious!" Liu Zhang wiped his mouth and kept admiring.
"I wonder if King Huaide is still satisfied?" Sheng Yaoshan asked tentatively.
"Satisfied, satisfied! Chef Wen's craftsmanship is really hard to put down, and I can't stop talking! I just sigh that I am a step too late, hehe, Prime Minister Sheng, you are really lucky!" Liu Zhang took Sheng Biji's hand, Eyes blurred.
"Hehe, if King Huaide likes it, I am willing to let you!" Suddenly, Sheng Biji said something that surprised Sheng Yaoshan!
As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a glass of water falling to the ground and could never be taken back.
This! How can this be good! I promised Ms. Wen that the chef will be safe! Dad, you are too powerful! Even if he is King Huaide, no matter how prince... Chef Wen is a person, not a thing, how can you just give it away! Sheng Yaoshan couldn't stop beating his heart, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Hehe, thank you, Prime Minister Sheng, for your kindness! This king remembers that General Sheng said something well that day! A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, so naturally a gentleman does not take away people's love! Haha, then Chef Wen should be kept by Prime Minister Sheng. If this king If I'm hungry, I will have a feast at the prime minister's mansion!" Liu Zhang waved his hands and laughed.
Sheng Yaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since King Huaide is considerate, it means that this old man owes King Huaide a favor. Hehe, if King Huaide needs something in the future, no matter how rare it is in this old man's house, King Huaide can just take it!" Sheng Bi Jilang laughed.
"Oh? What Prime Minister Sheng said is serious?" Liu Zhang narrowed his eyes and slowly approached.
"It's a deal!" Sheng Bi toasted happily.
"Dang!" There was another burst of laughter.
"Linglong, go find out, is King Huaide gone? Oh, yes, by the way, go to the kitchen and get me a plate of snacks. I suddenly want to eat walnut cakes." In the deep courtyard of Xiangfu, Sheng Jiaoxue casually said After dinner in the boudoir, Linglong was sent to investigate.
Not long after, Linglong ran in panicked, out of breath.
"Miss... Miss... King Huaide hasn't left yet. He is chatting with the master in the front hall. It seems that he is very satisfied with today's dinner. Miss... This is your walnut cake... Guess who the servant saw in the kitchen? "Linglong tried her best to calm down.
"Besides the cook, who else can there be in the kitchen? By the way, I'm a little curious. Which chef in the house is cooking for King Huaide today, and he can serve King Huaide so satisfactorily?" Sheng Jiaoxue said lazily.
"It's Chef Wen! And that cook named Wen!" Linglong said eagerly.
"Crack!" The cup was dropped, and broken porcelain was everywhere.
