"Gentle, if you are pleading for Qu Ming, please forgive me! I forgive you for being a newcomer, and I will forgive you for the crime of abruptness. You should go back and practice cooking more, so as not to repeat the same mistakes!" Liu Heng looked serious, and his voice was full of no doubt. .
"If you go back to the emperor, this servant is not going to intercede for Chef Qu, but to restore Da Zhou's national prestige!" Wen Rou replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Oh?" Liu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"How do you restore it?" After a while, Liu Heng asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, since this is a state banquet, and the three envoys are visiting guests, we should find out what happened in the hall today, and then deduce the next strategy! Chef Qu is preparing for the state banquet. The slaves and the chefs in the imperial dining room all witnessed the hard work, and Chef Qu would never make dishes that poisoned and murdered the envoys! I just don’t know why the three envoys behaved like this just now?” Rou Wen continued calmly Replied.
"This girl, isn't she stupid? How dare you question the emperor in public!" At this moment, Wen Shouzheng was already trembling all over, and a bad premonition struck him in an instant.
Liu Heng's lips trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, his eyes showed a complex and strange look, which was affirmed and doubted.
"Three envoys, why did you keep vomiting just now? But because my Da Zhou's meal is not to your taste?" In the end, Liu Heng still asked.
"Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, please calm down! We have been so disrespectful just now, not because Da Zhou's cooking skills are not good or inappropriate, but because we are not used to such brutal cooking techniques! Thinking of the delicacy being cooked like this, my stomach will be overwhelmed!" The Russian envoy bowed and put one hand on his chest.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. I think that although Koryo is located in a high and cold place, the ingredients for cooking in our country are mainly vegetables and fish. Live monkeys like this take their brains, and live donkeys take their hooves. They eat the internal organs of dogs and even The live roasted suckling pig... is too scary to swallow! Please forgive me, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for being rude! We cannot swallow such a meal!" The envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom bowed. .
"Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, although our country is small and lacking in supplies, even if our people directly prey on sea fish at sea, they will definitely not have such a cooking method... Please forgive me for being rude just now, this kind of meal is from the country of Wa It's hard to accept!" The Japanese envoy said with a bow.
"Hahahaha. So it's because of some misunderstanding in the cooking technique!" The prince laughed loudly from the side, and stood up to comfort him.
"Father, since the three envoys don't like such a strong method, we have a lot of talents in Dazhou, and the chefs in the imperial dining room are even more superb in cooking. Why don't you let Qu Mingfu do it again, so as to show our Dazhou?" Your prosperity!" The prince suggested, bowing his hands.
"Qu Ming, if this is the case, you can do another one to make up for it!" Liu Heng's keen eyes flashed on Qu Ming's already dumbfounded face.
"Qu Ming, Qu Ming. The emperor is calling you!" Master Qu was anxious, and reminded him in a low voice from the side.
Qu Ming came back to his senses after paying half the salary. "Emperor... Your Majesty..." Qu Ming fell to his knees with a "plop" and kept kowtowing! "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me! Time is running out... Slave... Slave can't be afraid that I won't be able to make this state banquet!"
Qu Ming trembled and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Qu Ming for his blunt remarks. The preparation of the state banquet needs to go through a complicated process. In such a short period of time, it may be difficult to satisfy the Emperor!" Lord Wei also begged from the side.
Mr. Qu kept his mouth shut and shrank behind the ministers, clearly crying inwardly. But he didn't dare to step forward to intercede for Qu Ming.
"Is this how your imperial dining room usually prepares meals for me? Do you need to be notified in advance? In order to be ready?! Now on-site inspection, even you, Shang Shanzheng, have retreated!" Liu Heng said with a smile on his face. Sullen color. Don't be angry.
"Please appease the emperor!" Lord Wei possessed himself and kowtowed again.
"All the royal cooks in the imperial dining room obey orders! Who of you can cook a meal for the three envoys on the spot today! I will definitely reward you!" Seeing that Qu Ming had been deposed, Liu Heng also dared not take over when he saw that Mr. Wei had also taken over. He couldn't help frowning, and his scrutiny glanced over the royal chefs at the entrance of the hall.
The royal kitchen group was silent, all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Who dares to take over such a hot potato with such a tight schedule and heavy tasks? !
Qu Ming spent half a day preparing the state banquet, yet the envoys vomited like this! It's better not to be ashamed of your tricks! To avoid losing his head later with Qu Ming.
When Liu Heng saw that none of the royal chefs was willing to respond, he couldn't help being furious!
About to get angry!
Suddenly, in the middle of the hall, that beautiful female voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to give it a try!" He saluted gently and calmly.
"Oh?" There was joy in Liu Heng's eyes, and he thought to himself: How could I forget Miss Wen! This girl can surprise people all the time!
"Rou'er, don't be fooled!" Wen Shouzheng reminded in a low voice from the side.
It's a pity that we were too far away, and Wenrou didn't hear it.
"What kind of meal does Miss Wen want to cook for my envoys?" Liu Heng said joyfully.
"Back to the emperor, since it's time for dinner and the envoys have come from a long way, naturally we can't wait for the tedious cooking. The slaves are willing to cook for the three envoys on the spot in the hall. I hope the emperor will allow it." Gentle saluted again. road.
"Oh? On-site cooking? Are you going to move the kitchen to the main hall?!" Liu Heng was shocked!
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised, servants don't need cumbersome stoves, just an iron plate is enough!" Wen Wen said calmly.
"Iron plate?!" Everyone at the scene Qiqi and Liu Heng exclaimed.
"Back to the emperor, there is the iron plate imperial dining room, the one where the ingredients are usually placed is just right!" Gentle and simple answer!
"Hurry up and get the iron plate!" Liu Heng ordered.
"Your majesty, this servant will go to the imperial dining room to select the ingredients in person, and I will be back in a moment!" She saluted gently and respectfully, and then quickly exited!
Liu Heng has not yet reacted, neither saying yes, nor objecting.
Just when everyone was discussing and tangled, Rou Rou had already carried a small bamboo basket, and re-entered the hall with a happy face.
At this moment, the iron plate was erected firmly, and a firewood was kindly lit underneath, the flames were blazing, and after a while, a little green smoke rose from the iron plate.
The bright vegetable oil brushed the iron plate thinly.
The ingredients that are always prepared in the imperial dining room in the bamboo basket, such as poultry, vegetables, fish and shrimp, staple food, even fruits, are brought here!
The alpine snowflake beef is thinly sliced and spread gently on the iron plate;
Fresh pomfret, eel, small yellow croaker, and saury are all tightly attached to the iron plate;
The plump wild mushrooms are sliced into thin slices and placed neatly on the iron plate;
Fresh and tender chicken and mutton are either sliced into thin slices or cut into small pieces, and there is a sound of fat sizzling on the iron plate;
The turquoise lettuce leaves are at the ready, and the brightly colored fruit is diced.
The meat is turned twice on the iron plate, and the homemade seasoning is smeared on both sides;
The fish meat is golden on both sides, the skin is crispy and tender, and all the fragrant seasonings are sprinkled on it, and it is served quickly;
Wrap grilled beef, chicken, or lamb with lettuce, sprinkle with delicate fruit decorations, and roll it lightly.
The gentle, white and slender fingers seemed to be dancing on the iron plate, and the perfect combination of the hand and the knife was sometimes turned and sometimes retracted.
Showing delicate and skinny wrists from time to time is refreshing, not only secretly praising the delicious glimpses!
Whether it was the three envoys, or the princes and ministers above the hall, all of them showed amazement at this exquisite and glamorous culinary art!
Can cook like this!
Isn't it only in the kitchen of the back kitchen? !
Today is the first time I have seen cooking skills that can be seen and eaten!
