Shangshi female official

Seeing that this person had ulterior motives, the third prince made it clear that he was provoking trouble, and said angrily: "My foreign minister, are you a bit presumptuous?"

"Third Prince, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't spoken yet."

The third prince pushed his chest forward, then looked at the face of the emperor above the high rank, and suppressed the anger in his chest. The emperor hadn't expressed his attitude yet, and he really couldn't do it for him.

The emperor drank the after-dinner tea in a leisurely manner, gently blew on the tea bowl, and took two sips slowly. After putting down the tea cup, he tilted his head slightly and asked with half-opened eyes: "What do you two Shangshi think?"

Qiu Shangshi seemed to be frozen, he didn't dare to move, this disobedience was like admitting cowardice, he agreed bravely, if he lost to a foreign country, the Tian family would not tolerate her.

Nanny Chen relaxed a lot. How could she not know that foreign envoys were secretly playing tricks and wanting to save the Heaven's family, but how could a gentleman be afraid of him? She bowed to the emperor first, then straightened her He leaned back and replied with ease: "It's a great honor for Shangshi Bureau to compete with foreign counterparts."

"Then three days later, those states who are interested in learning from each other will each present a dish in this Jianji Hall."

Chen Momo said respectfully again: "Your Majesty, I think that for the sake of fairness, first, the judges must be determined. If foreign envoys are to be judges, each person has to choose two dishes. Second, it must be wiped out. The identity of the cook can relieve the judges from their scruples."

"Chen Shangshi is right. The judges are made up of foreign envoys and the Minister of Rites. The rest, Qiu Xing, do you understand?"

Qiu Xing was holding Fuchen to serve at the side, he was taken aback for a moment, then bent down and said with a smile: "I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

In the afternoon, the two Shangshi adults called the three of them who had entered the Jianji Hall at noon to the conference hall. As soon as Nanny Chen sat down, she asked, "Tell me, what happened to the Golden Pond Wandering Dragon?"

Ruan Sishan took the lead in answering: "It was the younger ones who brought the female cooks of the Kingdom of Jin into the imperial dining room for a visit. They discovered the birthday dishes in the imperial dining room and made them without authorization. They probably wanted to embarrass the monarch."

"How could you be so careless?" Qiu Shangshi scolded.

"The little one really didn't expect that they came here on purpose. I thought they were brought to see the world of a big country..."

"Forget it, since it's passed safely, there is no need to discuss this matter again. You must be careful in the future. If you don't come up with a solution today, the emperor will not let Shangshi Bureau go."

Nanny Zhou came in to serve tea, Nanny Chen took it, and continued: "What do you think about the competition in three days' time?"

The three people at the table were silent, and Mother Chen wondered: "There is no one else here, do you have any ideas to speak out?"

Mo Xi explained: "The young ones are afraid that it will be agreed at this time, and people will listen to it. Today's birthday banquet can barely earn a living by playing, and it's the two of us who serve the dishes. Those that don't look good, We left them all alone.

If the preparation is complete and someone steals it, how can there be time to do it again?My lord, the taste is not deceiving, even if it is radish, the taste will be different if it is stewed for one hour and stewed for two hours. "

"You are right, but the preparation time is only three days. If we don't decide today, how can we wait so long for the ingredients, broth, and utensils?"

For a while, everyone was speechless, and they didn't know how to respond. Chen Momo asked again: "Eve, you have so many ideas, why don't you have anything to say this time?"

Wang Yifu kept lowering her head and pretending to be stupid. When Mother Chen asked, she actually laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at the grown-ups thinking about the wrong direction. They will naturally know what we do if they steal. What if we cook seventeen or eighteen dishes? How do they steal? Which dish?"

Chen Momo finally had a smiling face and said, "From your point of view, how should we arrange it?"

"Just in this room, let's agree on a few dishes first. Our imperial dining room has a lot of recipes, and there are many people with good craftsmanship. There is no need to send someone to cook. They are only those two people. How can they steal them all?

As for which dish to serve that day, it will be determined before leaving. If they want to steal, they have to ask for ingredients. Guanglu Temple needs to ask what ingredients they use. We will know what they stole if we ask. "

Qiu Shangshi remained silent for a long time, and when he heard Wang Yifu's plan, he rarely agreed with him: "That's fine. I will personally arrange for people to do it, and we are not allowed to communicate with each other. It is absolutely unexpected for people to choose again on the same day."

"Don't rush to arrange people, there are three powerful ones in this room, let the three of them choose first. What do you want to do?"

"Looking at the flowers in the rain." Without hesitation, Mo Xi first talked about her special dish. This dish is a famous and difficult dish. well done.

"Then I'll be a leisurely jade with pearls."

Nanny Chen raised her eyelids and said with a smile: "This is showing off all my housekeeping skills. This match will only choose one dish. You two should be prepared."

The two said something in unison.

"What about Eve, what do you want to do?"

Wang Yifu turned her eyes slightly, and said, "I want to make fresh fish and sheep."

"This dish is ordinary if you say it is ordinary, and it is not ordinary if you say it is not ordinary. Why do you want to make this?"

Wang Yifu didn't want to participate in this competition. The dishes of the first two were already incomparable, but they always had to make up an excuse, so they made up an excuse.

"That day I ate the stewed mutton cooked by foreign cooks. Although it was delicious, they must have never tasted the delicacy unique to our country. It just so happens that this fresh fish and mutton have mutton. Let them taste how we cook it. Mutton. Fresh fish and sheep are our unique dishes, and umami is also our unique way to describe the wonderful taste of food.”

Nanny Chen nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right. Well, the dishes for the three of us are set."

"The rest of the people, I'll look for them again." After Qiu Shangshi finished speaking, he immediately went out to find someone.

After three days, several chefs in the imperial dining room carefully prepared a special dish, and Wang Yifu started cooking fresh fish and sheep early in the morning.

The fish has to use crucian carp with enough soup, and she uses lamb chops for sheep.

First put the lamb chops in cold water and add onion and ginger cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, then fry them with lard until fragrant, until they are browned and then add spices to stew. After stewing for an hour and a half, stew the fried crucian carp and lamb chops together.

After the stew was enough, Wang Yifu skimmed off the excess fat and only added a small amount of salt. The crucian carp had too many spines, so Wang Yifu simply removed the crucian carp, and prepared three dipping sauces: salty sesame sauce, spicy oil dish, and salty and sweet soy sauce. Eat with mutton.

While the stew was cooking, she sneaked away for a while to see how Ruan Sishan's Xiaoyu Hanzhu made it. After reading it, she realized that she used big tiger prawns, cut the back of the tiger prawns and turned them into butterfly prawns. , and then put a walnut and a small piece of fat in it, roll up the shrimp and dip it in starch and fry it until golden.
