Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 629 Kaiseki Cuisine
Su Ziling knew that Mi Xiaoye opened the culinary art academy and taught students the same methods that he taught her back then, and he felt very comforted in his heart.

Sure enough, this girl has lived up to her hard teaching for so many years. It is not a bad thing to be able to carry forward this method and teach more disciples of Sumen.

It seems that this girl is really caring, and she remembers all the earnest teachings she taught back then.

Since Mi Xiaoye worked so hard, as a master, how could he explain that he would not do it?

It was a coincidence that King Fusang summoned Su Ziling, saying that it was this year's Spring Festival, and the Great Chamber of Commerce sent envoys.King Fusang hopes to make some different food and hospitality.

Su Ziling knew that Dashang's envoys were coming, and recalled the days when he and Mi Xiaoye were envoys and came to Fusang.

Moreover, if the cooking I made can really go along with King Fusang's suggestion, then, is there any hope that I can meet Mi Xiaoye through the envoy of the Great Merchant, or in other ways?

Hearing this news, Su Ziling was also very happy, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

It's just that Fusang's national strength is far inferior to Dashang's. If Su Ziling served the banquet in Dashang's palace, it would definitely not work in Fusang.

Su Ziling had to think of a better way to entertain the envoys of the great merchants and to accommodate the actual situation in Fusang.

During Su Ziling's collection and investigation in Fusang in the past six months, Su Ziling remembered seeing some Fusang people cooking on stones.In addition, I remembered that Mi Xiaoye once mentioned that in her hometown, there is a kind of Fusang cuisine that is very famous. After several combinations, Su Ziling thought of how to entertain the envoys of the big merchants, and he would not caress the Fusang King. The face also fits the situation of Fusang.

What Su Ziling made was the predecessor of Fusang kaiseki cuisine in later generations.

Speaking of this kaiseki cuisine, it was originally a meal that the host invited guests to taste in the Fusang tea ceremony.Later, it was not limited to tea ceremony and became a common high-end dish in Fusang. "Huaishi" refers to the meaning of a sage being browned with jade, and its form is "one juice and three dishes".

Kaiseki cuisine is extremely delicate, and both tableware and food placement are very demanding, but the portion of food is very small, so many people think it is a work of art. The main utensils for food are pottery, porcelain, lacquerware, etc.

Kaiseki cuisine, like Western food, pays attention to the order of serving dishes.The seven-point appetizers (seven complicated side dishes), bowls (handmade dishes with soup), sashimi, yangmon (fried), boiled food, grilled food and food (rice or Soup), the order is strict.

From the culinary point of view, many modern kaiseki dishes have also added European cuisine style.

The most worth mentioning is that among the cooking tools, the selection of various stone materials is the most interesting, and there are also some iron plates, but the iron plates are generally padded with plant leaves to avoid direct contact with the iron plates.In the most authentic kaiseki, different flowers and plants are planted in the four seasons, with different decorations and lighting, and the dishes are supplemented with self-planted flowers and plants, which is very particular.

And Su Ziling started from then on, and before the arrival of the envoy of the great merchant, he cooked a very artistic kaiseki meal in Fusang Palace.

"You mean kaiseki cuisine?" King Fusang was a little confused, so although he knew Su Ziling's culinary skills very well, he still had doubts about the fresh food Su Ziling proposed.

"Yes." Su Ziling said, "As an envoy of a great merchant, the reception banquet must have artistic conception and taste, so as to show your virtue, Your Majesty."
