Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 321 Eat Fish
The cook has already been ordered. Today's main course is chopped pepper fish head and boiled fish. All the ingredients have been prepared, soup and vegetables are all available. We just wait for the right time to cook.

To make food delicious, it is natural to control the heat when cooking, and the timing of adding ingredients to the pot is also very particular.In order to adapt to the time of the nobles, more skills have to be mastered. The son-in-law has put in a lot of effort for this meal, and the cook will inevitably be a little nervous.

This meal of fish, full of joy, cannot fall on his hands.

Therefore, after the early preparations were completed, he began to ask about the meal.

The son-in-law's diet is generally very regular. He always believes that eating is one of the great pleasures in life and should not be let down.

Although the princess also has the intention to do so, but she is entangled in mundane affairs and has to work too hard, so the time is not so precise.

The cook was running around in a hurry in the kitchen, but the son-in-law didn't think about these things at all.For a delicious meal, it’s okay to wait a while. You don’t have to worry about these hours. Wait a little longer to smell the strongest aroma when the food is served on the table and the lid is opened.

The princess is a person who has plans, and she thinks a lot about these things, "Let's get up earlier, otherwise the stewed fish will be bad. I've had enough rest, and it will be uncomfortable if I don't get up again."

Shen Sanwen stretched his waist, as if he had slept enough and lay down, "Okay, I'll send someone to the kitchen to ask how the fish is doing. Someone."

The servant girl asked knowingly, "Do you need a servant to send someone to ask for meals, or do you want someone to serve the princess to wash and change clothes?"

The princess immediately agreed, "Go quickly."

The maid sent someone to the kitchen to inform, and at the same time ordered someone to come in with a set of utensils.

Asking the meal means that the host is going to pass on the meal, so let the chef prepare it well, don't delay the time, delay the host's time, and don't cook the food too hard or too bad, which will affect the taste.

The chef has been preparing all morning and has already geared up. Now that he has received the letter, he hastened to get busy.He ordered people to fish up the fish, remove the scales and wash them, and lift a sharp kitchen knife to separate a complete fish head from the fish body.

The kitchen was hot for a while, but this fish was destined to be a dish today.

Shen San asked that since the matter had been postponed, and the luncheon was about to be held, it was natural to gather people together, this was a family banquet.

Taking advantage of the time when the princess left temporarily, he asked, "Where is Heeren?"

The maidservant at the side quickly responded, "Xiao Shizi is still in school, today is Mr. Di's class, and the messenger dare not disturb."

"Oh, will Di Renjie finish class on time?" Shen San asked, the teacher who dragged the class is not a good teacher!Taking student break time is shameful.

The maid didn't dare to say anything, because the answer would definitely not suit the son-in-law's wishes, so it's better not to answer and pretend not to know.

Shen Sanwen was speechless for a while, why is there always one person missing.

Can't come, that would be great!
It just so happened that he and the princess were more happy eating, lest there be this little guy, the princess was worried that he would be caught by the fishbone, and also worried that he would be choked.

"Study is the most important thing. If you don't make it in time, you won't come. Don't delay Master Di's lecture." Shen San asked.

The maid was relieved.

Shen Sanwen was fully dressed and was about to go to the dining hall with the princess.

The princess stretched out her hand to help him tug on the collar around his neck. She always felt that it would be inappropriate if she tidied him up with her own hands.

Shen San asked with a satisfied smile.

After arriving in the hall, not long after, the chef brought up the boiled fish and put it on the small stove designed by Shen Sanwen.

"It smells so good!" The princess sniffed the scent that penetrated the tip of her nose, and her appetite increased greatly.

Shen Sanwen had already picked up the chopsticks and reached into the small pot.

"Hey!" The princess hastily tugged at his arm, "He'er hasn't arrived yet, please bear with me a little longer."

"He'er was left behind by Master Di to teach alone. I'm afraid he won't come back so early. By the time he arrives, the fish will have been boiled long ago. Let's eat it first, and prepare a more delicious fish for him later."

It turns out that it is a good thing to put emphasis on studies, so don't wait.

The princess took a small piece herself, and Shen Sanwen also took a piece for him to observe her reaction.

The boiled fish is cut into slices of moderate thickness by the chef. The entrance is fresh and tender, and the fish meat can be melted in the mouth without chewing. The spicy taste mixed with the fresh fish taste hits people's mouth. The taste is really amazing!
Cool!
The princess took two mouthfuls, and felt that the fish was indeed different from the usual vulgar taste. No wonder Shen Sanwen deliberately prepared it for so long and insisted on pulling her to rest.

Seeing the princess's chopsticks stretching out into the pot, Shen Sanwen knew how satisfied she was with the fish, so he quickly took a piece too.

As far as the color is concerned, the fish meat is pure white, the spicy oil red is attractive, the white is red and the red is white, and the spicy taste of the fish makes people want to swallow it in one bite.

Shen Sanwen ate a piece carefully, and was full of praise immediately, "Good! Well done! There is a reward!"

He hurriedly picked another piece for the princess, "Eat more fish, you will become smarter."

The princess snorted happily and gave him a piece, "You should also eat more fish and become smarter."

Shen Sanwen also laughed.

It takes a little longer to chop the fish head with pepper. The two of you have already eaten more than half of the fish.

It's just that the fish head is the most difficult to cook, the fish bones are difficult to cook, and the fish face is difficult to taste. Compared with sliced ​​fish, it is much more difficult to cook.

Fortunately, there are the previous dishes as a base, and there are many side dishes and pastries.

But there was only one main dish, so there were still few people asking Shen San, and after a while, Shen San asked, "Where's the fish head with chopped peppers that I've been waiting for for a long time?"

The maid hurriedly ran into the kitchen in a panic, "Master Zhang, is the fish head ready? The son-in-law is in a hurry!"

"It's almost there, and it will take a while to add two side dishes."

The maid hurriedly ran in to reply again, "It will take a while, it will be ready soon, my son-in-law will wait a moment."

Shen Sanwen usually would not blame others for these trivial matters, but today he is in a particularly good mood, so naturally he is more willing to wait, and with the princess accompanying him to wait, it is good to sit for a while, don't worry.

"Princess, eat some fish casually first, and eat it later. If you are hungry, the fish head will taste better. If you don't want to eat, just put your chopsticks and wait."

The princess glanced at him, like this, I wish I could eat it for a long time, is this really fun?

When the aroma is the strongest and the cooking time is just right, the chef puts the dish on the plate and pours the sauce, and the plate is served on the table.

When you smell it, you can tell that the spiciness of the chopped pepper fish head far outweighs the taste of the fish itself. This is a delicacy that focuses on spicy and spicy.If boiled fish is to use spiciness to adjust the freshness of fish, then chopped pepper fish head is to let you taste the simplest, purest and most thorough spiciness.

It is so spicy that it is so hot that people forget to breathe, leaving only the last unique taste in this world, spicy.

Shen Sanwen's choked throat revealed his truest thoughts at the moment, the scent alone made people want to bite down even the bright red hot pepper.

But the reality is that he can't handle such spicy food.

The princess carefully ground a small piece of flesh on the fish, took it out from the steaming pot, blew it carefully, and watched Shen Sanwen thinking, before putting it into her own bowl.

He must be thinking, to eat or not to eat, or to eat.

So the princess still doesn't make the decision for him.

Try a bite, it is indeed spicy enough, but it is really delicious.Fortunately, the wild grass carp that has been grown for many years is enough to weigh [-] catties. The fish meat is still delicious and firm.

Thanks to you for so many years.

Just one bite, only the spicy taste remains in the mouth, and I no longer know the taste of sour, sweet and bitter.

"Delicious, better than boiled fish." The princess asked Shen San without hesitation, would you like to try it, haha.

Shen San asked: "It must be something to eat, it's been a long time coming."

The princess was looking forward to his performance, whether it was as hot as before, so that she couldn't breathe, and then prepared a glass of water, and drank it after drinking it.

Or simply re-prepare a non-spicy dish.

The princess ate it on her own, the fish head cooked in this way was very tasty.

Shen Sanwen believes that spicy food can be adapted, he has eaten spicy food for a long time, this time it should not be too ugly.

He took a small mouthful tentatively, and the taste was sour and refreshing at first, which was acceptable, but after a few mouthfuls, it was so spicy that he couldn't breathe.

Followed by a few mouthfuls of honey water.

Tasted delicious, enough.It doesn't matter if you can't keep it, Shen Sanwen put down his chopsticks to be a spectator with peace of mind, and the princess naturally ate it mercilessly.

Wait for the spicy sauce on the side to completely enter the fish, the fish will become more and more spicy, and the part of the fish head that is too high and exposed must be quickly eliminated, otherwise the taste will become worse and worse with the loss of the soup.

Shen Sanwen happily ate the moderately spicy boiled fish. The princess put her energy into the new dishes, and both of them ate happily.

A meal takes only a while, and they are well-prepared and expected, but they can give them a different kind of happiness.

"Is it delicious?" Shen San asked.

"Well, continue next time." The princess promised with satisfaction.

"Change to something else next time, such plump grass carp is rare, next time we will eat shrimp and crab." Shen Sanwen had already made arrangements.

At this time, a happy and expectant child's voice came, "Mother, I want to eat fish."

Li He managed to get away from Di Renjie, and immediately rushed home. His father boasted about the fish, and he also looked forward to it for many days.

Then he saw the nearly bare fish head frame and the boiled fish with only dots of green vegetables left, not a single bit of white fish flesh.

What about fish?

Looking at the warm lips of Shen Sanwen and the princess, and the small soup bowls held in both hands, he understood where the fish had gone.

Beep beep.I want to cry.

my fish!
Shen San asked laughingly, walked in and patted the little guy's head, "Next time I have to find a way to come back earlier, you know, I'll tell the cook to fry a fish for you again, okay?"

Why do I feel that my father is a bad person? My mother always waits for him when we eat together.

Li He shouted aggrievedly at the princess, "Mother."

The princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she thought that Shen Sanwen meant that it was too late to go home, so He'er would have lunch directly in the palace, who knew that the little guy ran back and saw this scene.

"The fish is too spicy, not suitable for He'er, please prepare it separately."

"Yes." The people waiting around hurriedly agreed.

The cook worked for a long time, took off his white kitchen clothes, and rested for a while.

This time, the heat, taste and ingredients are all top-notch, plus his cooking skills, the princess and consort will definitely reward him a lot, he is very happy.But it didn't take long to hide in the corner and secretly happy, a new order came up, and a fish was needed.

This……

He has done his best to cook two fish today, and his best condition and technical strength have passed, so why do he need fish.

What?The prince wants to eat fish?
The luncheon for this family of three was only served for two people?
Well, then one more.

The chef quickly fastened his kitchen clothes, took the fish, and started frying the fish.

After the food was served and the kitchen was cleaned up, he just finished his meal, so he was in a bad state.

The fish is almost mushy, so turn it over quickly.

Alas, this vinegar is a bit too much.All right, just add more water.

The son must be hungry when he comes back so late, the speed of steaming is important, the taste, you can take it easy, you can't starve the son.

It wasn't too late to serve the food. In order to comfort the little guy's wounded heart, Shen Sanwen and the princess accompanied him for the first time while waiting for the fish to be served.

Just this fish?Was it made by a master?The fragrance is a bit weak, and the appearance is a bit miserable.

Li He took a bite and just wanted to cry, the delicious fish was gone, only one makeshift fish.

Wow!Good luck.

The two princesses pretended not to know and left.

Li He felt a little distressed in his heart.

The work of this meal is probably also mentioned in the education and publicity side.The princess has to deal with business, Shen Sanwen should also pay attention to the progress, and I don't know if those people who clamored to contribute their strength have arrived today.

When he arrived at the scene, Shen San asked where he really found three heralds with hoarse voices, standing straight at the periphery of the speech venue.

They still don't believe it, the throat is an extremely fragile organ of the human body, and they don't feel it when it is used normally, but once it is overloaded, it is an organ that 100% needs to be seen by others.

A few people couldn't be the artificial speakers, but they came here to thank Shen Sanwen specifically. Sound transmission is their duty. Although they have been doing this job for a long time, they are not as experienced as Shen Sanwen. They feel a little ashamed.

Furthermore, Shen San asked the imperial doctor to look at their throats, prescribe medicine, and allow them to rest today. In their opinion, they were simply too kind benefactors.

A thank you, no matter how hoarse their voices are, they have to say it in person.

Shen Sanwen just calmly comforted them that they were suffering, and then told them to go home and have a good rest.

In fact, they had a hard time, and doing things for him would naturally solve their worries, and they had never thought about it, but they were grateful.

It can only be said that the difference in status has caused this difference in expectations and treatment.

Besides, because of the sharp decrease in the number of heralds, the three of Wang Cheng could only speak in batches, with one person in charge of a small group of people and speaking at the same time.

I'm really sorry that Shen Sanwen deliberately created opportunities for them to practice, but I don't know if they have seriously corrected the problems after returning home yesterday, whether the words are okay, and whether the common people understand.

Shen Sanwen quickened his pace unknowingly.
