Shangshi female official

There are Buddhist believers in foreign countries who have left their seats and knelt down to bow to the Buddha statue.

Moxie and Ruan Sishan paid homage to the emperor and shouted loudly: "The Shangshi Bureau presents a golden Buddha for your majesty's birthday, and pray for the emperor's long life and long live."

Long Yan rejoiced and said happily: "Good! There is a reward!"

The emperor's words were like a dragon's cry, and the tremor echoed in the hall. Taking advantage of the emperor's joy, all the courtiers immediately left their seats and congratulated the emperor: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The two Shangshi adults knelt down, although Wang Yifu was half a step slower, but fortunately she acted quickly and hid herself among the courtiers.

The crisis of being robbed of food, they have passed, and the hearts of several people have also sank, so there is no need to panic anymore.

When she was a child wandering, she passed by a place where magic tricks flourished. She once saw a white lotus blossom and a Buddha statue appeared on the street. Because of curiosity, she left the eyes of her mother and Yan's mother and secretly read the secret.

It turned out that the man just hid the Kongming lantern under the table. The Buddha statue was a hollow and light shell. A claw was attached to the bottom of the table under the base. The lotus blossomed.

That person especially likes to play this trick near Buddhist temples, and many believers will consciously pay for it, thinking they have witnessed miracles.

Today, she and Moxi found the carpenter and porcelain maker of Yuqianzuo in the palace, hollowed out the center of the plate, and hollowed out the table, picked up some off-the-shelf wood and built a base that couldn't be more simple.

There are many eunuchs in the palace, so there are people who worship the Buddha, and they are poor and can only afford the Buddha shell.

In order to automatically ignite the Kongming lantern, Mo Xi asked someone to go to the fireworks bureau in the palace to get some lead wires, glued rice grains to the center of the plate and the wick of the Kongming lantern, and added some pyrotechnics.

In this way, the fish fillets were burned and the lead wire was lit to light the lamp under the table, and the base was pushed away, and the Golden Buddha appeared, and because of the lamp under the table, the Golden Buddha could be illuminated with light, adding an auspicious image of the emperor's birthday.

Thanks to Ruan Sishan ordering all the dining rooms to cook slowly, and to allow a little more time, they were able to fix the table.In the end, they tried these things twice, failed once and succeeded once, so they took a gamble.

"Present the meat under the golden Buddha to all the envoys to taste." The emperor ordered so, Mo Xi and Ruan Sishan listened to the order, went out and served the prepared sauce and dipping materials to the envoys, and put the dishes on the table. The fish in the bowl is picked out and served on a boat-shaped dish.

Wang Yifu had tasted the taste, and it was the three of them who tasted it and thought it was delicious, so they dared to serve it up to celebrate their birthday.

This fish can be said to be as thin as a cicada's wings. If it is not thickness, it is transparency. Before Ruan Sishan cut it too thin, the fish would have no texture and burn easily. The fish is translucent but thick.

That's why such a big plate was brought in, and the fish meat stuck to the bottom of the bowl, and the plate could act as if it hadn't contained anything, making her trick come true.

The wine is freshly brewed peach blossom vinegar from the palace. The smell of the fish before entering the mouth has a triple aroma, the first is the aroma of wine, the second is the aroma of the fish that has been burnt over a direct fire, and the third is a faint floral aroma.

The fish without sauce has only a base taste. The fish is freshly killed and just broken. The meat is fresh and tender, with a little sweetness of the fish itself. The taste is enough to satisfy the taste buds. After dipping in the sauce, it adds salty fragrance And sauce, really delicious.

After the foreign envoys ate the fish, they had different expressions, some admired, some were pleasantly surprised, and some looked down on them. The most ugly one was probably the Kingdom of Jin in the northeast.

At noon, Wang Yifu asked Ruan Sishan which country's envoy brought the Golden Pond Youlong today, and she said it was brought by the people of Jin.

On that day, Jin Foreign History sent money to Qiu Xing, and wanted his cook to visit the imperial dining room, so Qiu Xing arranged for Ruan Sishan to lead the two female chefs of the Kingdom of Jin.

When passing by Mo Xi's dining room, Mo Xi happened to put a food diary on the table, and turned over the page of Golden Pond Youlong. Unexpectedly, someone wrote it down, and embarrassed him on the emperor's birthday.

Wang Yifu cursed silently in her heart for the villain's behavior.

In the palace banquet, after a few soups are served, it is the dessert glutinous rice balls. It is not difficult to make 24 Huadian. It is 24 kinds of steamed dim sum with different colors and lighter taste.

But the snowy red sand and magnolia crisps on the back of this dim sum are not something ordinary people can make.

Xueyi Hongsha has an elegant name and elegant appearance. It is made of steamed red beans and brown sugar, rubbed into balls and dipped in starch. Eggs only need egg whites. Stir the egg whites until the egg whites are like fine snow, then wrap the bean paste with egg whites and deep fry them shape, and finally sprinkle with a generous pinch of sugar.

This dish looks like lumps of snow piled together, and it tastes soft and sweet, and those who love sweets can eat a large plate.

When the magnolia cakes were served, they were served in a black glazed disc, which looked like a branch lying on it, with two or three magnolia flowers growing, and three or two petals of the flower had fallen on the plate.

A foreign historian asked: "Your Majesty, are these flowers here for decoration? Why are they only here now?"

The emperor just smiled, and the third prince stood up and explained: "Waishi doesn't understand my food in the Central Plains. This flower can be eaten directly. Please taste it."

The foreign official picked up the magnolia flower, although it was fragrant, but he couldn't move it right and left. He mustered up the courage and put it in his mouth. After he took a small bite, tiny crumbs fell from the corner of his mouth, and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. down.

"Shocked as a man of heaven, astonished as a man of heaven..."

This magnolia cake was made by Wu Xiaolan. It took several days to knead the dough and try it out. Today’s magnolia cake has several more petals than the previous few days. Each petal is as thin as paper, and the red dates in the center are wrapped in layers. stuffing.

From the flower pedicle to the tip of the petal, Wu Xiaolan also dyed it, from purple red to pink to white, vividly resembling the true color of magnolia on the tree.

At this time alone, there is probably no one in the world of Kyushu who can surpass her.

Finally, when the fruit plate was served, Wang Yifu breathed a sigh of relief, and the palace banquet was considered complete. If the foreigners had seen such craftsmanship, then she must stand up and let them tell them where she saw it and how she did it.

Unexpectedly, Jin Waishi really stood up and knelt down to the emperor, but he didn't say that he had seen these craftsmanship, but made a request.

"Your Majesty, your country has outstanding people, and indeed, even the culinary skills are astonishing."

The third prince stood up and clasped his fists to the emperor, saying: "Father, the emperor has great virtues, he governs the country well, and sets an example for all people. Naturally, there are worthy people who will be loyal and have no worries about food and drink."

"The small food official brought by the foreign minister, seeing such cooking skills, is eager to try, and wants to compete with the chefs of your country. I don't know what the emperor thinks."
