Imperial Marshal Feeding Log

Chapter 29 The Hundred Birds and the Phoenix
Du Xixi lost her temper with Baizhan because of Mo Ying, but she felt the man beside her was slightly depressed, so Du Xixi calmed down a bit, and gently hugged Ke Lian's shoulders.

"Ke Lian, I know that you brothers have feelings..." Du Xixi said softly, "So I won't get involved too much in this matter."

After losing his temper, Du Xixi's anger also subsided a bit, and his mind gradually became sober.No matter what Bai Zhan was thinking, it didn't have much impact on Du Xixi, but it was a heavy blow to Ke Lian.

Brothers and confidants for many years, I thought they knew everything about people and things, but when Mo Ying found a partner, he suddenly lost his composure. How could Ke Lian feel better?

Sensing Du Xixi's comfort, Ke Lian hugged Du Xixi back and chuckled, "Thank you for your comfort, I'm fine."

Ke Lian was originally a restrained temperament, even though he showed a lot of emotions in front of Du Xixi, he was unwilling to let Du Xixi see his vulnerable side.

He gently pressed Du Xixi's head in his arms, not letting Du Xixi see a tear that suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes.He murmured softly: "Xixi, when he leaves, let me convey my apology to you."

"...I got it." Du Xixi said that she knew it, and she didn't forgive or reject it.She no longer wanted to think about Bai Zhan anymore.

*
Du Xixi has a very strange habit. Once in a bad mood, she likes to bury herself in the kitchen cooking delicious food.Not only food can heal the heart, but the process of making food is also very healing.

Ke Lian was also made an exception and put into the kitchen by Du Xixi.

Since Ke Lian almost destroyed the kitchen time and time again while exploring delicious food, Du Xixi rarely allowed Ke Lian to enter the kitchen.

After all, no matter how much money there is, the kitchen is destroyed again and again, which is also very costly.

But this time Ke Lian was in a bad mood. He wanted to cling to Du Xixi, and Du Xixi was a person who couldn't stand Ke Lian's acting like a baby. When Ke Lian's small expression of aggrieved poked him, he nodded in agreement. .

Ke Lian, who had succeeded, leaned lightly on the sink, saw Du Xixi holding a few hens that had been killed and cleaned by 2569, and chopped off their heads with a knife in his hand, he couldn't help saying in surprise : "Don't you eat chicken heads?"

Among the Zerg race, chickens are also called pecking beasts, but Du Xixi calls chickens chickens every day, so Ke Lian also calls chickens along with Du Xixi.

Du Xixi continued cutting the chicken body without raising her head, but she replied, "What I'm going to make today is a big dish - a hundred birds chasing a phoenix."

"Bainiaochao... Phoenix? What is Phoenix?" Ke Lian frowned.He knew what a bird was, but he had never heard of the creature "phoenix".And although chickens are considered birds, what does it have to do with "phoenix"?

Du Xixi soaked the chicken head in warm water, showing a serious temperament, showing a bit of charm: "Feng, actually refers to the phoenix. The phoenix is ​​the divine bird in the blue star mythology. The male phoenix and the female phoenix , known as the king of birds. According to legend, when the phoenix appears, all the birds will turn their heads to bow to it, which is the origin of all birds facing the phoenix."

"Most Lanxing people think that chickens are the 'close relatives' of phoenixes, so they also use chicken heads as phoenix heads when making the dish "Bainiao Chaofeng." After Du Xixi finished speaking, I didn't care about Ke Lian , She put all her heart and mind on being a hundred birds chasing a phoenix.

Bainiao Chaofeng, also known as Deqin Jiaguan, Dumpling Chicken, is specially developed for a queen mother to celebrate her birthday. It is a famous dish in the Blue Star "Manchu Banquet", and it belongs to The four treasures of the Manchu Banquet.

Bainiao Chaofeng is mainly stewed, and it is made from tender hens stewed on a small fire.Its meat is crispy and tender, and the soup is rich and delicious. The bird-shaped dumplings are placed around the hen, just like a phoenix bird. The image is vivid, and the skin is thin and the stuffing is fresh, very delicious.

How could the heirs of the family of royal chefs not know how to cook this famous palace dish?Du Xixi also worked hard to learn this dish at the beginning, and improved the recipe with the help of the elders.

They made a simple version of Bai Niao Chao Feng, a deluxe version of Bai Niao Chao Feng, and a medicinal version of Bai Niao Chao Feng.

To Du Xixi, the medicated version of Bainiao Chaofeng is absolutely amazing. The deliciousness of Bainiao Chaofeng itself is combined with the nourishment of various medicinal materials. Give yourself such a pot.

However, Du Xixi, the medicinal material from the Xing Ji era, has not seen a shadow yet, and the ingredients are not very sufficient, so Du Xixi decided to make the improved family daily version of Bai Niao Zhao Feng.

Although the taste is a bit inferior, but the daily version of Buddha Jumping over the Wall Duxixi has already been made, and it would be too much to favor one without a daily version of Bai Niao Zhao Feng.

The tender hens with their heads and tails removed collectively put into the pot to make soup. At the same time, Du Xixi took out the flour, and Ke Lian, who was doing nothing on the side, showed his skills in kneading big white steamed buns, kneading the dough extremely vigorously.

Hundred birds Chaofeng need to simmer dumplings in a circle, and they need to be made into a bird shape, so that they can be regarded as Chaofeng's hundred birds.

Du Xixi knew that Ke Lian's only culinary talent was in pasta, so after asking Ke Lian to chop the minced meat and seasoning himself, Ke Lian worked very hard to make bird-shaped dumplings.

Seeing that Ke Lian was getting busy, and there was a little sweat on his face, and he could no longer see the gloomy expression of feeling sad because of Bai Zhan, Du Xixi nodded in satisfaction.

Du Xixi: Sure enough, when I'm busy, I don't care about being sad.What a little genius I am!

Ke Lian: ...I just found an excuse to come in and cling to you, but you let me do the work for you! ╥﹏╥

Nearly an hour later, the semi-finished chicken soup that Du Xixi needed had been boiled. Du Xixi picked up a few tender hens and patted their bodies carefully with chopsticks to make the chicken and chicken bones that had been stewed soft separated from each other.

The chicken bones were easily taken off by Du Xixi. The chicken Du Xixi was not wasted at all. After cutting into minced meat with a kitchen knife, it was poured into the chicken soup again. After boiling, it seemed like yellow flowers blooming in the chicken soup , but it doesn't look too thick and detract from appetite when picked up.

This can be regarded as a way to increase the umami... Du Xixi, who has no chicken essence, smiled, and helped Ke Lian make bird-shaped dumplings.

Ke Lian is rare when making pasta, but the handwork is not good. The bird-shaped dumplings look good, but the quantity is really appalling.

Du Xixi couldn't help complaining while wrapping the dumplings, Ke Lian, who was pinching the bird's head with his fingers, said, "My chicken soup is almost ready, and the dumplings are just so small."

Ke Lian knew he was wrong, he smiled, and said to Du Xixi in a flattering tone: "Xixi, you know I'm clumsy!"

Du Xixi couldn't help but shuddered.She felt that Ke Lian must have done it on purpose, knowing that she couldn't stand Ke Lian's acting like a baby, so she always used such weird tone and expression to act like a baby to Du Xixi!

Du Xixi, who thought she would not soften her heart, gave Ke Lian a helpless look: "Okay, okay, take your time, we are not in a hurry."

Ke Lian succeeded again. She couldn't hide her arrogant eyes, but Du Xixi lowered her head and didn't see anything. She even thought that Ke Lian was wronged, so she continued to coax, "Don't be unhappy. , after a while, I will make the most delicious 'phoenix head' for you."

Ke Lian's expression was already gentle, but at this moment, he was even more tender to the extreme.Regardless of the fact that he was still holding a half-squeezed bird-shaped dumpling in his hand, he stretched out his arms to hug Du Xixi, and said warmly, "I won't eat it, I'll leave the delicious ones to you."

Du Xixi in her arms was silent for a long time, Ke Lian lowered her head in confusion, but saw Du Xixi looking at herself coldly, and said something: "You still have dumplings in your hands, and you are covered in flour... "

Ke Lian: "...Huh?"

Du Xixi (smiling face): "I! De! Clothes! Clothes!"

2569, who was kicked out of the kitchen by Ke Lian who wanted to live a two-person world, was squatting at the door to watch the air, but unexpectedly heard a very familiar begging for mercy from the kitchen.

"Xi Xi... Xi Xi... I was wrong!"

"Ha ha!"

"what!"

2569: ... Humans are really strange! ⊙⊙!
When Ke Lian covered his ears and was kicked out of the kitchen by Du Xixi, it was better to meet 2569.Well, a pair of eyes on the electronic light screen of 2569.

"Master Marshal, have you been kicked out?" 2569 asked short-circuited.

Ke Lian didn't answer, but just rolled his eyes at it.

2569 persisted and did not let Ke Lian go: "You are so pitiful, this is the eighth time this month..."

Ke Lian... still didn't answer, but gave 2569 a violent fist.

The sound insulation of the kitchen is very good, but when Du Xixi lowered a whole hen with bound wings and a few chicken heads into the chicken soup, he vaguely heard some weird movements outside.

She glanced at the door, and there seemed to be nothing unusual there.Strange, why does it feel like some hard metal has been smashed against the door?

Duxixi: That's weird...

2569: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, my light screen was blown away by Marshal...

Ke Lian (innocent face) who was reattaching the light screen to 2569: ...Huh?Did something happen?I do not know anything!
*
Although there were a lot of twists and turns in the middle, Du Xixi successfully made a hundred birds and a phoenix. At the same time, he also fried a few side dishes, which together constitute today's lunch.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian sat face to face at the dining table, and 2569 helped bring the heavy pot to the table—there was a hundred birds in court, and it was always stewed before serving.The essence of Bainiaochaofeng is also revealed in the stew.

"Can it be started?" Ke Lian has now habitually listened to Du Xixi's words at home, without any domineering appearance in the military headquarters and on the battlefield, pointing the battlefield.

On the contrary, Ke Lian, who was obediently asking questions while holding a job bowl, made Du Xixi couldn't help but want to pet his dog... Cough, human head.

Du Xixi has returned to her usual gentle and demure appearance, she nodded and stood up, lifting the lid of Bai Niao Chao Feng's pot with a cloth.

The hot air disperses like mist, and the dishes standing in it seem to be in a fairyland. Looking at them in a daze, they really have the majesty of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.

Ke Lian blinked and looked right, seeing a circle of bird-shaped dumplings surrounding the proud tender chicken in the middle, he couldn't help laughing: "If you wear feathers, it will really be a phoenix. "

Ke Lian has never seen Phoenix, but he can imagine the mighty image of Phoenix from Du Xixi's description.Long tail feathers, colorful ring lights, and the attitude of raising the head high and accepting the worship of all the birds.

Ke Lian really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Du Xixi smiled, but just scooped up a bowl of soup with dumplings and a chicken head for him and handed it to him, and said softly, "Taste it quickly."

After Du Xixi finished speaking, she took a bowl for herself, lowered her head and took a sip, but inadvertently frowned.

Although the first taste is the same as the one made by Blue Star, Du Xixi has the most sensitive sense of taste, and he can immediately taste the difference.

The same spoonful of salt, but with different brands and different sea areas, Du Xixi can taste it all—this is Du Xixi’s hard-working experience in cooking for many years.

Not to mention it was such a big pot of a hundred birds chasing the phoenix. As soon as Du Xixi ate it, she knew that her cooking skills had regressed a bit.In other words, due to the limitation of ingredients, Du Xixi's cooking skills could not be fully utilized.

This is not a good phenomenon, nor is it a fact that Du Xixi can accept.

A really good cook never cooks a table full of Chinese people in the ingredient warehouse, but cooks qualified food with his own ability in a barren place without ingredients.

This time, Du Xixi knew that she was not qualified.

But Ke Lian ate very happily. After eating a bowl, he smiled at Du Xixi and said, "This is really delicious, even better than the Buddha jumping over the wall in the palace that day."

Du Xixi restrained her expression a little and smiled nonchalantly.

On the day in the palace, Du Xixi was as weak as she could be, and all the physical work was done with the help of Rob, and she didn't really do much, so the Buddha jumping over the wall that day was not Du Xixi's work.

But today’s Bai Niao Zhao Feng is different. Although Ke Lian helped, Du Xixi took care of it by himself. From the soup to the cooking, Du Xixi took a lot of effort. Naturally, it is better than the previous Buddha Jumping the Wall eat.

Du Xixi scooped another bowl of soup for Ke Lian, said with a slight smile, "You like it, we will make it often in the future, I am afraid that you will get tired of eating and ask me to do something else."

"How come! I can eat every day for a lifetime." Ke Lian muttered, then raised his eyes and held Du Xixi's hand, "But don't worry too much, let 2569 help you with whatever you want to eat every day, Just watch yourself and don't get tired, you know!"

Du Xixi felt helpless and touched by Ke Lian's careful care of her, and shook Ke Lian's hand instead, with serious eyes: "Understood, I will protect myself."

An ordinary meal became extremely warm because of Ke Lian and Du Xixi's sudden sensation. 2569 is obviously used to the behavior of the two masters throwing dog food to the single robot anytime and anywhere, and it is out of sight. He went to the corner and squatted very skillfully.

Bai Niao Chaofeng was completely taken care of by Ke Lian, Du Xixi didn't eat much, and spent most of the time quietly watching Ke Lian eat and drink.

Du Xixi found that Ke Lian was particularly fierce when eating, but he didn't look very rude, he was still elegant and calm.

Still... It made her heartbeat.

　Well, the roommates in the dormitory chatted about gossip, and they listened enthusiastically, so the code was a bit hasty.
