Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 844 Not bad, not bad (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Then how do you eat this?"

"Your Majesty, the old age said that the vanilla on top is not edible, it's just for decoration, just take it off, it's best to eat it together with the top layer of caramel."

Li Xu nodded, and reached out to pick up the spoon that came with it.

This spoon is made of jade, and it was put in the ice room for refrigeration after being aged for a long time. Even when it was delivered, it was kept at a low temperature in the food box.

So after getting it, Li Xu felt that the spoon was a little cool to hold, and her tired hands, which were a little sore after reading the memorial all morning, relieved a little.

"That's interesting."

Li Xu first removed the vanilla on top with a spoon, and then dug out a piece of pudding with the top layer of caramel.

The wobbly pudding looked a little cute. Although she was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, she was also a woman, and she was only 24 years old.

I naturally like this kind of food in my heart.

Cherry lips parted slightly, and she put the pudding into her mouth.

Immediately, a cool and faint milky smell filled the mouth, and the boredom in my heart was suppressed a little on the spot.

Then she just sipped her upper and lower jaw lightly, and the pudding immediately melted in her mouth.

The custard part, which was originally only sweet with eggs, is fused with the caramel on top.

A strange smell began to spread.

But before she could pay attention to savoring it carefully, the pudding pieces that turned into sugar water flowed into her throat, refreshing.

It was so refreshing that she now wished she could stretch on the spot.

But Wang Jin was standing on the side, and it was not easy for her to make such a move.

"You go out first, I will call you after I finish eating."

Li Xu said in a cold voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servant will go outside and wait."

After Wang Jin went out, Li Xu couldn't help but took another bite.

A coolness once again slowly occupied the whole body from the inside out.

After eating, she held the spoon and stretched happily.

If there are other people present, even if they don't dare to say it, they will keep praising His Majesty in their hearts, he is really a rare beauty in the world.

But after taking two bites, Li Xu couldn't help looking at the ball of cream on top.

So I dug a little with a spoon and put it in my mouth. It was sweet and milky, but the taste was quite soft, like a feather.

In this way, she tasted it bit by bit, and finally finished the pudding.

When Wang Jin, who was waiting outside, heard the emperor's call and came in to collect the plate, he saw at a glance that the plate was empty.

I was a little surprised, obviously I heard other father-in-laws say that His Majesty didn't have a very good appetite today, and even took a few mouthfuls of food.

But at this time, the pudding made by Chen Nian was all eaten.

"Sure enough, there are two brushes. No wonder His Majesty personally ordered him to be introduced into the palace."

Just when Wang Jin put the plate in the food box and was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Xu: "I will ask him to make a snack tomorrow and send it to me and the ladies in the palaces, but it will be the same as what I made today." Desserts are different."

When Wang Jin came out of the imperial study, he was completely sure that he would definitely get His Majesty's attention after the old age. If he repeated it again and again, he might not repeat it again and again.

He felt that Chen Nian didn't seem like the kind of person who couldn't grasp the opportunity.

On the way to the imperial study, he also met several other servants in the palace.

After asking a few words, those ladies also liked today's dessert very much.

"Well, it seems that Chen Nian is really going to make a fortune. It's hard to say in the future, but the desserts made by Chen Nian today have already been loved by His Majesty."

Wang Jin stayed in the palace for more than ten years. After two dynasties, he has been in his current position since he was a eunuch since he was a child.

I know the preferences of this family very well.

Not to mention the former emperor, even His Majesty today likes to eat desserts very much, but after being tired, he only tastes a few bites of desserts and puts them aside.

Although it has happened before that His Majesty appointed a certain imperial chef to cook for several days in a row, he knew that the dishes made by those imperial chefs still cannot escape a certain category.

For the advancement of the dishes, they just made the food more exquisite, and adjusted the various ratios of the dishes more finely on the basis of the original framework.

But aging is completely creating a new thing.

He has been in the palace for so many years and has never heard of anyone who can make such a dessert.

He doesn't know how many tricks Chen Nian can make on this kind of dessert, but he knows that Chen Nian is definitely not that simple.

Can a person who has no ability make Fu Xin value him so much?

Even if he is a bit talented, he had a good relationship with Fu Xin at the beginning, but it is definitely not worth Fu Xin's willingness to say that Chen Nian and him are both teachers and friends after becoming the current fourth-rank official.

Besides, on Prince Jing's side, if Chen Nian was just a slightly talented cook, it was absolutely impossible for him to be treated as courteously as Prince Jing.

As a prince, your majesty's younger brother, what kind of glory and wealth have you never enjoyed?What kind of delicious food has never been touched?

Among other things, even if the imperial chef in the palace leaves the palace one day and opens a restaurant by himself, it is definitely not worthwhile for Prince Jing to ask His Majesty to write a plaque in person.

Not to mention going out every three days to bring back food from outside the palace for His Majesty to eat.

After coming to the imperial dining room, he directly found Chen Nian who was having a staff meal: "Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Your majesty and all the ladies like it very much after eating the caramel vanilla custard you made, and your majesty I also told you to make a similar pastry tomorrow, but it can’t be the same as today’s.”

The other royal chefs looked at Chen Nian enviously after hearing this, most of them had never been arranged by His Majesty before.

The greatest honor for them is to cook for His Majesty.

And the greater honor is that His Majesty is full of praise after eating and asks them to continue to do it tomorrow.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I understand."

After hearing this, Chen Nian put down the bowl and got up quickly and said.

"Master Chen, you don't have to thank me, it's because your food is delicious, but you have to keep working hard in the future."

After Wang Jin finished speaking, he left.

Song Qingzhou then praised Chen Nian again.

After that, other people also came up to ask what Chen Nian made, and Chen Nian only told them a name, and did not continue to talk about it.

It made those royal chefs feel itchy.

They only know that Chen Nian used milk, eggs and sugar when making those things, but they don't know how to do it, because they were all busy with their own things when Chen Nian was doing it, and they didn't watch it. to a specific production process.

And after that, Chen Nian made several trips to the ice cellar, which made them even less aware of the specific method of aging.

This time, Chen Nian used pudding to win the favor of the empress and the emperor in one fell swoop, which made him full of confidence.

"Since they like to eat such desserts, it's time for these primitive people to experience the power of modern baked desserts!"
