Shangshi female official

The long live birthday banquet is on April [-]th, and the foreign historian came to the court to celebrate his birthday. The emperor never thought of letting Guanglu Temple organize such a banquet. Supervise Shangshi Bureau's banquet.

It can be seen from this that the emperor may not be completely ignorant of the dirty things of Guanglu Temple and other private pockets.

The emperor took it so seriously, the empress naturally couldn't let the emperor lose face, since it was the first time to do such a big event, from April onwards, two Shangshi adults were called every day to discuss how to order the palace banquet.

Delicacies from mountains and seas and some hometown dishes that cater to the tastes of the envoys must definitely be indispensable. The key is to show the prosperity of the dynasty. If we want to shock foreign countries in cooking, we must find some things that the envoys have never seen before.

The Internal Affairs Supervisor moved ingredients to Shangshi Bureau every day, and some dry goods in the warehouse were first stored in the imperial dining room, and then asked Guanglu Temple to find some foreign ingredients, and asked the female historians of Shangshi Bureau to make some pickled vegetables first. .

Nanny Chen knew that she had studied in the inner teaching workshop for a few days, and now she was hanging in the empress's dining room, so she handed over the pickling to her, and sent a dozen or so maids to prepare it for her.

Watching these court ladies cooking, Wang Yifu thought of what Nanny Feng told her, that she doesn't need to do it herself, but she needs to know what the good and bad products of these foreign dishes look like.

If you don’t know the appearance, it’s really easy to be fooled by the maids. Some people just want to put the lid in the tank if they are perfunctory, or if they do it seriously, they will forget it after a long time. It doesn't taste right.

Wang Yifu pointed it out one by one, and pointed it to the point, all the court ladies rolled their eyes, bowed their heads and dared not speak.Such a young chef actually knows so well about foreign cuisine, which makes them feel guilty.

Wang Efu dumped all the pickled vegetables in several wooden basins. In order to let these maids do good things, she sat on a small wooden stool and made the pickled cabbage step by step. clearly.

She did it once, and the maids did not dare to make mistakes again.

The pickles in the small northeastern country are a bit more troublesome, but the pickles in the northern regions are much simpler, and they only use ordinary radishes and cucumbers, and they all count their time to prepare them.

This side of the palace is busy with birthday banquets, and Shen Ci in the Anle Hall outside the palace gradually wakes up more hours every day. According to Du Jingmo, Wang Yifu can make a portion of bonito soup every day at noon , give another cup of chicken soup in the evening, and slowly raise Shen Ci up.

It just so happened that You Sishan saw that she wanted to supervise the pickles, and knew that she could not stay in the empress's dining room permanently, so she would not have to worry about the daily empress's meals, so she was just happy to spend a little more time making soup for Shen Ci.

According to Wang Yifu's request, Du Jingmo would go to the An Le Hall to see how Shen Ci was doing, change her medicine, and prescribe prescriptions for her, except when he was in the palace asking for a safe pulse for the masters or being called to the emergency department.

Leaving the running errands to Yue Hong, Yue Hong came here at noon and at night, taking the trouble.

At noon that day, Yue Hong came to the imperial dining room to get soup, smiling all over his face. Seeing his happy face, Wang Yifu immediately asked, "Brother Yue, what's the matter?"

"You must be happy to hear my news. The weather is good today. Shen Ci has been basking in the sun for a long time in that small courtyard. You know how many days we have persuaded her to go out for a walk. There are also little maids in An Le Tang to help her. She Not willing to move, not much to say."

"Now that she has lost all her cooking skills, she must be sad..."

"Don't worry, Shen Ci is stronger than you think. Although she is weak and lost both hands and fingers, she has never thought of committing suicide. Every day you make her soup, she will not stop drinking it."

"With us by my side now, of course she will think about our feelings, and she is afraid that what will she do when she is alone in the future and has difficulty moving?"

Yue Hong was silent, he never thought as far as Wang Yifu, if it really came to the time when Shen Ci faced it alone, it would be so lonely and cruel.

Wang Yifu felt that she had made a slip of the tongue. Originally, Yue Hong used this matter to comfort her, but she poured cold water on it, which made Yue Hong feel unhappy.

She hurriedly lifted up the food box, and said: "Brother Yue, thank you for telling me the news. I am also happy that Shen Ci is recovering."

Yue Hong took the things in her hands and said with a smile: "You and Shen Ci are closer than sisters, of course you think more about her, but now we can only take one step at a time, Shen Ci has to be On her own."

"Please tell Jing Mo for me, let him find a way to let Shen Ci stay in An Le Tang for a while, maybe a few more days, his body is getting better gradually, and his heart probably needs to wait. "

"I know what you want to do, you are very thoughtful, I will tell Jing Mo right away."

As soon as Yue Hong left, Ruan Sishan took people to inform all the dining rooms that the female officials of Shangshi Bureau had to go to the meeting hall to discuss matters.

The two Shangshi were there, and when everyone entered the room, Mother Chen began to lecture, "Your Majesty has already ordered most of the menus for foreigners coming to court banquets, and there are some dishes that will not be made for some days, everyone wants to order My heart."

Nanny Zhou sent everyone a piece of paper, and the dishes recorded on it made people tremble with fear. The first line of the entire menu included a total of 42 dishes, including cold cuts, hot dishes, stews, sweets, and fruit plates. all available.

With just a glance, you can see Dripping Guanyin, Dragon Scale in Abalone Sauce, Lotus Shark’s Fin, Three Sets of Duck, Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots, 24 Flower Points, Thousand Petal Chrysanthemum Tofu, Emerald Shrimp, Magnolia Cake, Snow Cloth Red Sand.

Most of Wang Yifu has never made it officially, and there are some ingredients that she has never touched, such as Snowy Ganoderma lucidum and Alpine Ginseng.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the menu, Nanny Chen continued: "These dishes are not the final conclusion, and will be modified according to the ingredients, especially fresh vegetables. If the ingredients are not good on the day of the palace banquet, you may have to pick them up on the spot. The fresher ones will not be known until the day of the palace banquet. However, some dishes that take time and effort will not be greatly changed."

Qiu Shangshi added: "Tian family's face is a big deal, don't be afraid of difficulty, if you can't hold it, there are still some days before the emperor's birthday, it is also feasible to find ingredients to practice. It's not all difficult to do, but also Some are just more cumbersome, so you have to work hard and remember not to miss it."

Dishes like Thousand-petal Chrysanthemum Tofu and 24 Flower Points are not difficult, but they are troublesome and test the skills in the kitchen.This kind of palace banquet is about the time to show the highest culinary skills, and what follows is invisible pressure.

"On the empress's birthday, the Shangshi Bureau made a dish to perform. The empress said that the emperor's birthday should also be served with a dish to amaze foreigners. What are your ideas?"
