Although the kitchen in Nangong Mansion is not as spacious and bright as the kitchen of Sheng Biji's Prime Minister's Mansion, it has all kinds of kitchen utensils.
Not only are the ingredients areas divided into various categories, but even the stoves are of different sizes, which seem to have their own purposes.
But what makes Wenrou most curious is that there are many expenses in the kitchen that she has never heard of.
For example, in an open space on the stove, there is a firewood stove below it, but a large iron plate is placed on it, which is really confusing.
"Miss Nangong, you are cooking again!" Liu Yidao was doing all kinds of preparations in the kitchen at this time, when he saw Nangongxue approaching with gentleness, he immediately greeted her.
"Chef Liu, you are busy with your work, we are messing around here." Nangong Xue smiled charmingly.
"Miss Nangong is going to make teppanyaki again! Hehe, you don't cook easily on weekdays, except to make the old man happy." Chef Liu deliberately said this sourly, but his eyes were fixed on Wenrou .
"Chef Liu, what do you see me doing? Is there something on my face?" Rourou felt strange.
The two were joking with each other, and Fei Cui squeezed into the kitchen at some point, "Ah! Miss, you are going to cook teppanyaki today! It really is General Sheng's good fortune, so you will cook yourself!"
"You girl is talking nonsense, hurry up and take care of His Highness the Ninth Prince!" Nangong Xue blushed and scolded softly.
"Okay, okay! I don't want to say anything, I just want to go, I'm going to prepare wine for General Sheng!" Fei Cui stuck out her tongue, made a mischievous face, and ran away briskly.
The atmosphere in the kitchen froze for a moment.
With a smirk on his face, Chef Liu turned around to work on the ingredients as if nothing had happened.
Looking gently at Nangongxue who was embarrassed in front of her face, she seemed to understand everything.
It turns out that Yaoshan has always had a place in Sister Xueer's heart!
Rourou secretly speculated in her heart. A slightly sweet and sour taste like plums. Faintly flooded into my heart.
One is Wu Kui of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a young hero with high spirits.
One is the granddaughter of the Imperial Physician of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Beautiful and skilled, benevolent and benevolent.
If the two of them get married in this life. It's really a good story about a golden boy and a jade girl.
Regardless of family background or talent, the two of them are a match made in heaven.
"What is Sister Rou'er thinking? Don't listen to Fei Cui's nonsense! That girl has never been able to control her mouth!" Nangong Xue asked with a sharp and hearty smile. It was this frown and smile that was extremely opposite to Sheng Yaoshan. .
"Oh, it's nothing! Rou'er is just guessing, what kind of culinary skills is the Teppanyaki that Sister Xue'er is going to cook today?" Gentle and clever brought the topic to food.
"Eh... this... I made it up on a whim. I didn't expect it to be done. Let me show you, it's very simple!" Nangong Xue's tone seemed to be a little hesitant to conceal, but the gentle gaze immediately disappeared. He was attracted by Nangongxue's familiar movements.
Quickly wipe the large iron plate with a clean cotton cloth.
Light the stove below, because the iron plate is a large flat piece, not like an arc like an iron pan, so the temperature is quickly transmitted from the bottom of the stove to the iron plate.
There is a slight trace of hot air coming out.
Nangongxue stretched out her hand a little higher than the iron plate, tested the temperature, poured oil onto the iron plate, and picked up a washed and bearded prawn. Use a cutter to open the back quickly, pick the shrimp line, and follow the position where the back is opened. Gently placed on a hot iron plate.
"Zizi." A slight sound came from the iron plate.
Looking at the prawn, it turned from white to red in an instant, along the position where the back was opened, like a blooming flower, changing the color of the ingredients layer by layer with the temperature.
The whole body of the prawns was densely covered with oil bubbles. Nangongxue held two tools similar to spatulas in both hands, sandwiched them left and right, and turned them over, so that the prawns were heated evenly.
Immediately. Cover lightly with a semi-circular lid…
Then remove the lid and turn the prawns over again.
After a few strokes. Then randomly pinched a small handful of onions, shallots, ginger, and salt and sprinkled them lightly on the surface of the shrimp.
"Okay!"
Following Nangongxue's brisk words, the bright red prawn raised its head high. Then it appeared in a small plate in front of Wenrou with a high air.
The prawns with their backs open, the anchovy tails open, and the heads of the prawns are high. Although it is different from the shape of traditional delicacies, there is only one! But Gentle is still attracted by its uniqueness.
"Wow! That's it! It's so fast!" Gentle's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to pick up the prawn with chopsticks, blow it lightly, and put it in her mouth.
The shrimp skin is crispy and delicious, and the shrimp meat is elastic and tender.
The prawn paste in the prawn head is amazingly fresh, even the prawn tail is unforgettable for a long time.
"Hum! Mmm! Mmm!" Rourou tasted it, and bursts of amazed approval came from her nasal cavity.
"Is it delicious?" Nangong Xue smiled triumphantly.
"It's so delicious! This method is not only extremely fast, but also can create a taste that surpasses the cooking of traditional pots and utensils! Sister Xue'er, how did you think of it! I really can't see it, you Not only is his medical skill superb, but he is also a culinary expert who hides his secrets!" His gentle eyes were shining brightly.
"Come on, don't give me a high hat, I'm not a culinary expert! I'm just a medical girl! These are all messed up when I'm idle!" Nangongxue smiled faintly.
"Sister Xue'er, this teppanyaki is really amazing, can you cook anything? What else have you tried?" Gentlely licked her lips, and immediately became interested.
"Anything is fine! Meat and vegetables are fine! Oh, right!" Nangongxue clapped her hands and suddenly remembered something, "You can also fry eggs and spread omelets! It's very convenient!"
"Really!" Gentle eyes sparkled, as if the unique teppanyaki had already been transformed into finished dishes, presented one by one in front of her.
"Of course! If you, a culinary idiot, like it, you can use it to carry forward your cooking skills. Hehe, anyway..." Nangongxue smiled, but secretly mocked the unfinished part in her heart, "Anyway, this I didn’t invent it, this teppanyaki was originally a Western cooking technique. If you use it first, it’s yours!”
"Anyway, what?" Wen Rou was curious.
"Is it cooking anyway, hehehehe." Nangongxue smiled slyly.
"Sister Xue'er, I'll learn how to cook teppanyaki with you at noon today. Is that okay?" Rourou became interested.
The two girls were busy in the kitchen tinkling, waiting until Chef Liu's side had all the main dishes out of the pot and put them on the plate. Nangongxue's teppanyaki also prepared all kinds of gourmet snacks.
Bright red prawns, oily beef, golden fried eggs, and of course all kinds of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
When a table of people sat around the round table in Nangong Mansion and prepared to eat, everyone's eyes lit up!
A large table of dishes of different shapes, some more, some less, and some for one person.
No matter, the food is present, and the index finger is moving. Everything else is nonsense, eating is king!
Almost everyone thinks so!
For a while, at the round table in Nangong Mansion, there was only the sound of chopsticks touching bowls and plates, and there were bursts of hearty eating and drinking sounds.
"Delicious, delicious!" Sheng Yaoshan praised.
"It's delicious! It's much more delicious than the ones in the palace!" Liu Xian's mouth was full of oil, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
"General Sheng, these are all cooked by our lady for you! Delicious!" Jade explained to Sheng Yaoshan without losing the opportunity.
"Fei Cui, you can't keep your mouth shut after eating! This is all due to me alone. With the help of Chef Liu and Sister Rou'er, we all worked together to cook a table of delicious dishes!" Nangong Xue Modestly said.
"That's right. Sister Wen's cooking skills are the best!" Liu Xian replied again.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, these are..." Fei Cui was about to argue, when Nan Gongxue picked up a prawn and gently stuffed it into Fei Cui's mouth.
After finishing his lunch contentedly, Liu Yidao quietly squeezed to Rourou's side during the time when he was packing up the tableware.
"Miss Wen, you just said about my saber..." Liu Yidao was still thinking about the sacred sword.
"Chef Liu, I'm so sorry! Mr. Ren said that the knife might be on Chef Lou's body, but he didn't find it for a while." Wen Rou responded softly.
"Chef Lou? Miss Wen is talking about Lou Qingyu from Chengfuji in the provincial capital?" Liu Yidao asked.
"That's right. It's the chef on that floor!" At this moment, Sheng Yaoshan came over at some point.
"I have long seen that the surnamed Lou is interested in my knife. In the past few years, he repeatedly borrowed the knife from me, but I ignored him. Unexpectedly... By the way, he is also going to participate in the chef selection competition this year!" Liu Yidao carefully recalled.
"Chef Liu, don't worry! On the day of the competition, the chef in the building will definitely show off your magic sword to use. At that time, Yaoshan will help Chef Lou to return the treasured knife to its original owner!" Sheng Yaoshan vowed .
"Humph! That kid, he still wants to possess my knife! Humph! I'm afraid he will be caught off guard!" Liu Yidao seemed to have been prepared.
"Caught off guard? What does Chef Liu mean?" Rou Rou didn't understand.
"Miss Wen, do you still remember that I told you many times before that my black iron kitchen knife is an artifact in cooking, and it must be used every day to make its magic appear on the blade." Liu Yidao paused and continued He said: "Now that Lou Qingyu has won this knife, according to his temperament, he must put it on the shelf. It must be the time for the competition. When he takes it out and uses it, the blade must be corroded and rotten!"
"Chef Liu! This! What can I do with this! It's a magic weapon!" Ruan Rou lost her mind for a while, and was even more annoyed in her heart.
"Alas..." Liu Yidao let out a long sigh.
"Then it depends on the knife's own good fortune!" Chef Liu was thoughtful.
"Chef Liu, please clarify." Sheng Yaoshan was also curious.
"When my father passed this knife to me, he once explained that this knife must be used every day. If it is not used for a day, it will rust and become dull, and there will be no miracles, unless..." Liu Yidao hesitated to speak.
"Unless what?" Sheng Yaoshan's irritable temper, how could he bear Liu Yidao's hesitation.
"Unless the owner of this knife can reappear in the human world, this knife can reappear its magic..." Liu Yidao sighed.
