The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 21: shaved ice

Views:

Ren Baqian was not angry when he was scolded, he said slowly, "What would you say if I took it out?"

"If you really take it out, I'll call you Grandpa." Guan Guan said angrily.

"I call you Daddy." Some cook suddenly said something.

Ren Baqian almost sprayed on the spot, and the whole imperial dining room fell silent.

Manager Gou looked over with a murderous look on his face. The cook was just saying it casually, but he just picked up the words of Manager Gou, and he was a generation ahead of him.

Seeing the murderous look on Guanshi Gou's face, the cook was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words: "I'm also called Grandpa."

Ren Baqian was overjoyed: "It's fine to call Grandpa. When you see me in the future, call Brother Sheng, and I will take good care of you when I come."

"If you can't get it out, I'll break your leg." Steward Gou turned his head to look directly at Ren Baqian with a murderous look on his face.

Not to mention, Guan Guan has a big shoulder and a round waist, and his murderous expression looks really scary.

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Steward Gou looked around and saw a cutting board ten centimeters thick. He slapped it and it fell apart immediately.

Seeing this scene, Ren Baqian felt a toothache. In Dayao Country, even a cook is so good? Fortunately, Ren Baqian has the confidence to bully the natives of other worlds with his background in one world.

"That's it. Four days, I will definitely take it out for you."

"If you want to sneak away, I will definitely hang you on the wall."

"You don't have that chance." Ren Baqian smiled and stopped arguing with them. After all, he knew he was bullying others, so he couldn't go too far.

He still has a bit of conscience.

After making a bet, Ren Baqian suddenly thought of something to do. "Get someone to go to the animal garden to get a piece of ice." Ren Baqian said to the supervisor.

Manager Gou looked at him twice before saying to the people next to him, "Go!"

Then Ren Baqian asked: "Do you have any fruit?"

"Yes!" Steward Gou asked another person to take Ren Baqian to pick fruit with a sullen face, to see what he could make.

Ren Baqian cut off a small piece of each fruit and tasted it, the fruits in this world taste really good.

Especially a fruit that tastes like a coconut. It is as big as half a coconut, and the inside is not as juicy, but it tastes sweeter and more refreshing, and the flesh is smooth and tender, which is very good.

There is also one that tastes a bit like a cherry, but is about the size of a strawberry.

There are several other flavors that are also good.

"What kind of fruit does Your Majesty like to eat?" Ren Baqian asked.

Steward Gou pointed at a few with a sullen face, and among them was a fruit that tasted like coconuts.

"You know how to squeeze juice?" Ren Baqian asked.

Hearing this, Guan Shi's face darkened even more. Are you asking if it will be juiced? Is this scolding

Ren Baqian knew the answer just by looking at his face, and before he could speak, he changed his mouth and said, "Squeeze this juice, and cut these into small pieces."

Gou Guanshi's face has been ugly since Ren Baqian came in anyway. He said calmly, "Do it."

Immediately someone took the fruit to wash and cut it.

When the ice was brought, Ren Baqian found a kitchen knife and shaved off layers of flakes on the ice, and put them into a bowl.

The diced fruit is then sprinkled on top and topped with juice.

I knocked some more ice cubes and put them in a basin, then put the bowl in it, and put the lid on.

"It's done, send it over." Ren Baqian clapped his hands and said.

"That's it?" All the chefs in the imperial kitchen who were waiting to see what he was going to do were stunned.

Busy for a long time, that's it? So simple

Is it still up to you

"Your Majesty has a bad appetite due to the hot weather. It's the best thing to eat to quench your thirst. You can eat other things afterward." Ren Baqian explained seriously.

"I asked you to come and make such a thing? A child can do it, right?" Someone blurted out.

"The question is, do you have ice? Even if there is ice, can you think of it?" Ren Baqian said leisurely.

Some people want to refute, but it's hard to say after thinking about it carefully. If there is ice, they are most likely to freeze the fruit instead of doing like him. And where have they seen ice before? I heard that it was made by the beast garden in the past two days, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the kid in front of me.

"You still have to find materials for half a day to make such a thing?"

"You don't have all the materials, so I can only do this." Ren Baqian retorted confidently.

He was almost mad at Guan Guan.

"Send it to His Majesty. If His Majesty is not satisfied, he will be punished, and it has nothing to do with us." After thinking about it, Guan Shi said, "I will send it myself, so that Your Majesty will not misunderstand that it is our problem."

When the steward took the things away, only Ren Baqian and a bunch of cooks were left staring at him.

Ren Baqian was bored, just looked at the materials in the imperial dining room, what were the fruits, vegetables and meat. If you don't know it, put it in your mouth and taste it.

Guan Shi sent the bowl of shaved ice to the palace, where the empress was lazily lying on the couch.

Several basins of ice cubes were placed on the surrounding ground, exuding a chilly air, which lowered the temperature in the palace a lot.

"Your Majesty." Steward Gou took out the bowl from the ice basin. "It was done by that kid named Ren in the Beast Garden."

The words "the boy whose surname is Ren from the animal garden" are emphasized.

"Oh?" The empress replied lazily, and someone brought the bowl up immediately, after testing the poison and tasting it, it was brought to the empress.

"What is this?" the empress asked, looking at the contents in the bowl.

"The subordinates don't know either."

The empress stirred it with a spoon and put a little in her mouth, her eyes lit up.

The pulp, juice and ice are mixed together, and it will be cold to the bottom of your heart after eating.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the empress nodded: "That's right, it's quite to my liking, what else is there?"

The empress said yes, which surprised Guan Gou.

After all, he saw from beginning to end how to do it, that is, shaved some ice, and then poured fruit pulp and juice, which is not surprising.

But such a simple thing, the empress thinks it is very satisfactory, but these days the meals carefully prepared by the imperial dining room have not won any praise from His Majesty.

This made him somewhat frustrated.

But he still replied quickly: "He said that the imperial dining room didn't have all the condiments, and he didn't cook anything else."

"What did he say?" the empress asked with interest.

"He said..." Manager Gou was annoyed when he thought of what happened just now: "It's not even enough to make fried noodles."

"What are fried noodles?" the empress asked curiously.

"The subordinates don't know either." Gou Guan replied angrily after answering in advance: "But this person is talking nonsense. These are the only things used to season, even the Yunguo Palace. Those things he said, even listening Never heard of it."

"And then?" the Empress asked with interest.

"He said he would bring it out in four days. But his subordinates think it's not credible. Even if there are other lesser-known condiments, they can't be brought out within a few days. The subordinates think he is delaying time." Gou Guanshi said.

"What are you procrastinating for?"

"I don't know."

"It's only four days, wait and see." The empress said indifferently.

"Pass it on, let him go back and prepare, and I'll see what he can make in four days," the empress said.

She was not at all interested in what happened in the imperial dining room. What she was interested in was what Ren Baqian could make.

She made ice out of thin air before, and this bowl of mixed ice and fruit made again tonight made her look forward to it.
