"Let's get started!" Liu Heng announced.
"Brother, don't worry, I have everything!" Gentle and softly comforted Wen Ting who was at the side, and confidently walked towards the rich food basket.
"Dunzi, tell me, what kind of soup shall we make?" Ren Yue softly asked Dunzi beside him with a half-smile.
Dunzi trembled all over, he seemed to have not reacted from the horror of meeting the emperor and Princess Yunluo just now!
This can't be blamed on Tunzi, a plain-haired commoner, when he entered the palace for the first time, he saw the emperor and such a beautiful princess, no one can afford to leave this matter on anyone's shoulders.
"Dunzi!" Ren Yue's fingers gently pinched Dunzi's arm, and Dunzi just woke up like a dream.
"Third son... what did you just say?" Ganqing Dunzi didn't listen to Ren Yue's words at all just now!
"Alas..." Ren Yue shook his head lightly, and continued to sigh softly, "I asked you what kind of soup you would make?"
"Third son, when Dunzi made soup at home since he was a child, he just finished frying the vegetables. Add some water to the pot, rinse the vegetable oil and salt on the pot, and that's it." Dunzi was sincere.
"..." Ren Yue smiled helplessly, and said to himself, you really can't cook, you really can't!
"But third son, isn't this soup just adding water and putting something in it? You still have the confidence to cook Dunzi! Why don't we try it?" Dunzi didn't know where the cowardice came from, seeing In the huge food basket, there are a number of rich ingredients, and meat such as chickens, ducks and geese appear from time to time, and I can't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva!
"Are you sure you can do it well?" Ren Yue asked again in doubt.
"Don't worry, third son, if you don't know him well, let's cook it for a while!" Dunzi smiled honestly.
The cook that Tan Changyi brought with him also started to move.
I found a good piece of beef, and took some green sauerkraut. It looked like it was going to be beef in sour soup!
Beef warming. Sour soup appetizer, this soup dish is most suitable for people who are recovering from infirmity.
Ren Yue took the pier and fried the simplest potato shreds first. With the help of the oily bottom of the pot, a lot of water was added to the cauldron. Then I picked some well-cooked ingredients, such as vegetables, chicken, etc., regardless of the beautiful knife skills, I cut them all up, and put them in the pot in a mess!
"My lord, can this work?" Dunzi asked worriedly when the cauldron couldn't be filled.
"No problem, as long as you are familiar with it. There is a specialization in art!" Ren Yue smiled slyly, and immediately covered the lid of the cauldron tightly.
Gently taught Wen Ting hand in hand, first sent the ingredients such as mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots until they were chopped, then cleaned up a bare chicken, put it into a small delicate casserole to cook, and accompanied Nangongxue After a long time, Wen Rou will also use some medicinal food, adding Chinese yam, red dates, wolfberry, and some astragalus and ginseng.
"Sister, isn't this just stewed chicken soup?" Seeing this, Wen Ting probably thought it was a little easier, and asked with some concern.
"Brother, don't worry, this is no ordinary chicken soup! This is medicinal chicken soup. And..." She smiled softly and slyly. Whisper softly to Wen Ting's side.
"Oh? Seriously?" Wen Ting looked shocked.
"It's time!" At this moment, Eunuch Fu announced loudly from the side.
The top three in the list brought their own kitchen assistants, all of them stopped their busy work, and stood beside the tables in a dignified manner.
"No. 1 scholar, what do you guys do?" Liu Heng had already seen Ren Yue and Dunzi's veritable stew, and asked with a sneer.
"My Majesty and Princess, this soup is called Yiguoxian. Various ingredients and salt are used to stew in the pot, which not only preserves the deliciousness of the food, but also preserves the original form of the food intact. Princess, why don't you try it?" Ren Yue smiled slyly. Clearly introduce this jaw-dropping soup!
"Hehe, let it go." Liu Heng smiled and shook his head.
Princess Yunluo stuck out her tongue. Walked by with a chuckle.
"Tanhua, what are you?" Liu Heng asked.
"Report to the emperor, this is beef in sour soup, appetizing and warming." Tan Chang said word by word.
"Father, Yunluo doesn't like sour food!" Princess Yunluo shook her head slightly.
"Okay! Don't eat, don't eat!" Liu Heng smiled lovingly.
When he walked in front of Wen Ting and Wen Rou, Liu Heng's eyes narrowed instantly.
There was an exquisite small casserole on the table with a lid, and I didn't know what delicious food was cooked in it, but thinking that the soup was made with gentle help, it still made people look forward to it.
"No. 2, what are you guys?" Liu Heng asked curiously.
"My Majesty and Princess, this soup is called 'A wisp of cooking smoke until the flowers bloom'!" Wen Ting responded to Liu Heng's question, and then gently lifted the lid of the casserole. The chicken soup and its unique deliciousness are smudged layer by layer.
"It really is a wisp of cooking smoke!" Liu Heng praised to himself!
"Can I have a taste?" Princess Yunluo's eyes lit up, and she was about to take a spoon to taste it.
"Wait a minute, princess!" Wen Ting stopped slightly, took a newly picked budding lotus, and slowly put it on the chicken soup.
The budding lotus blossomed slowly when it met the warm chicken soup, and bloomed delicately in the container of the casserole. In an instant, the casserole seemed to be no longer a utensil for food, but a container for flower arrangement!
Elegant, exquisite and pleasing to the eye!
"Until the flowers bloom! This dish really is until the flowers bloom!" Princess Yunluo saw such a wonderful dish for the first time in her life. If talking about this chicken soup, Princess Yunluo has never tasted it before. It is a hundred times more exquisite than this. She has eaten shark's fin soup, flower dew, and milk bird's nest before, but this is the first time she has seen this chicken soup with fresh lotus flowers in full bloom!
Whether it's the shape or the implication, let alone Princess Yunluo, this is the first time seeing even the Emperor!
"This dish... why is it called a wisp of cooking smoke, until the flowers bloom!" Liu Heng asked Wen Ting tentatively.
"Returning to the words of the emperor, the smoke from cooking is like clouds and mist, and the clouds and mist cover people's eyes. How many people in the world are blinded by the mist, and those who stand still have missed how many wonderful scenery in the world. When you see the sun through the clouds, you can enjoy the rare and strange scenery at regular intervals, just like this fresh and pleasant lotus flower, which is quietly blooming under the clouds and mists. Only those who persevere can enjoy this beautiful flower blooming scene. Although it is only for a moment, once you have it, it is eternal!" Wen Ting looked at the lotus flower quietly blooming in the chicken soup, although what he said was extremely cryptic, but Liu Heng, the most wise emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty, still understood it to some extent.
"This kid is quite bold! He has Ren Yue's demeanor! It's different from Ren Yue's directness. That day Ren Yue took his father and ran directly in front of me to ask for someone. Walking like a rascal! But this Wen Ting in front of me, even though she pointed directly at my Princess Yunluo inside and outside the words, but very cleverly assured me of his persistence and unyielding, my Yunluo is that A lotus flower, if I don't allow it, wouldn't it be a person whose eyes are covered by the mist!" Liu Heng secretly speculated, and unconsciously looked at the young man named Wen Ting in front of him again with admiration!
"Your Majesty, the reason why this dish ends with a lotus flower is not just for the meaning of the name of the dish, but there are higher requirements for the taste of the dish! If the Emperor and Princess don't believe it, you can try it." Rourou passed two small bowls from the side without losing the opportunity, and put two porcelain spoons in them.
