The Daughter of the General's Gate: The Genius Little Meng Fei

Chapter 44 Cooking for Him
The small kitchen is very simple, the empress personally selected from her natal house to serve him, there are only two people, a cook and a maid who is a helper, there are no young and beautiful servants in the East Palace, because the empress is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble and arrange someone to seduce Li Yan.

Xiao Ion entered the kitchen, and Chef Fang was already busy. Li Yan’s meals were relatively simple, usually three dishes, one soup, one fruit plate, and one dessert. Chef Fang was a fat man in his forties. A middle-aged man, he worked in her natal family's mansion when the queen was a young lady, and now he came to the East Palace to serve in person for the young master.

Seeing Xiao Ion coming in, Chef Fang said kindly: "Xiao Ion, I heard that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, likes your food very much. I didn't expect that you are very accomplished in cooking at such a young age. When will uncle want to ask you Learned it."

Xiao Ion shook his head embarrassingly: "I don't dare to compare myself with a chef. I still want to find a chance to worship you as my teacher. I'm going to study hard. I'm used to being in the mountains, and I can only cook unappealing food. His Highness Changsun is just a novelty."

Chef Fang laughed, "It's just right, I also want to try these fresh eating methods, how about this, you can try two dishes for today's dinner."

"Okay, I need your advice from the chef at that time." Xiao Ion had the intention, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Don't talk about one chef, just call me Uncle Fang." The chubby Chef Fang looks like a Buddha, and his heart is as kind as a Buddha.

"Okay, Uncle Fang." Xiao Ion was used to interacting with people in big kitchens, and he was not as cautious as many newcomers.

She looked around the kitchen, it was spring, and fresh seasonal vegetables were also on the market. One meat, two vegetables, one soup and one dim sum were almost the right amount for evening.For meat dishes, just use the three-yellow chicken that has been washed and set aside. For vegetarian dishes, some fresh green vegetables are also excellent.

So she first put the chicken in water and boiled until it was half-cooked, then chopped it into small pieces, put a little oil in the pot, heated it up, put the chicken pieces in and fried them for a while, then put the chicken pieces into a casserole, mixed with vinegar, wine, salt, sauce, etc. Appropriate amount of ingredients, add a small amount of soup, and simmer slowly.

In the process of stewing the chicken to collect the soup, chop the green garlic, shrimp, fish, etc. into minced meat, and make them into balls for later use.

After finishing these tasks, the chicken soup is almost juiced, pour it out and stir-fry in a hot pan, add a little green and red pepper shreds, sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve.Add the prepared meatballs and sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms to make a soup. Stir-fry the small green cabbage heart slightly and put it on a plate. Add a portion of edamame, wild rice stem, and tofu cubes and stir-fry three diced vegetables. Overheat the eggplant and cook with a little salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil. , mashed garlic, simple but delicious dinner is ready.

Chef Fang saw that she was very skilled at cooking at such a young age, and couldn't help admiring from the sidelines. Although her dishes were not as complicated and exquisite as those of experienced chefs like them, she revealed the sincerity, The taste of essence, could it be that His Royal Highness Changsun has a special liking for the things she makes.

The cooks in the palace are all old fritters, each of them is trying their best to make the food beautiful and exquisite, and put all kinds of novel seasonings in it, trying to be different so that the emperor or nobles can pay attention to this dish. Remember the taste of the food itself.

Just like eggplant, if he cooks it, he will basically make it taste like chicken sauce, spiced spices, or even deep-fried eggplant cake. How can he be like a farmer in the country, just scoop it up and put it on the bibimbap pot? The stew is simply served on the table, it seems that he really needs to learn the true nature of this kid.

After many years in the palace, everyone forgot the original intention...

"You can deliver the dinner. I just met His Highness the eldest grandson. He is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Don't be intimidated by his cold appearance." Chef Fang specially gave Xiaoion the opportunity to deliver the meal. Normally they would deliver the meal It's all done by someone else.

"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Ion sincerely thanked Chef Fang, not for anything else, but because he didn't reject her on the first day. You must know that she was rejected as soon as she came in, and the people in the big kitchen had to go through time and time again. Only then did we get along well.

Xiao Ion went over with the food box, just in time to meet Gao Ning standing at the door.

"Come on, send it in, His Highness has already returned." Looking at Xiao Ion, he felt a little cordial, and his tone became a little bit kind.

Xiao Ion walked in cautiously. Li Yan was sitting on a chair reading a book. There was a serene and peaceful aura on his gentle and jade-like face. Seeing Xiao Ion coming in, he looked at him and nodded.

"His Royal Highness, would you like to serve dinner now?" Xiao Ion asked softly.

"Okay." He simply responded.

Li Yan's palace has a total of eight houses forming a large courtyard, two of which are Gao Ning Gaojin's residence, one is now occupied by Xiao Ion, and the other is a reception hall, with eight chairs, two tables and two tea tables, entering the courtyard On the left is his study room, where important matters will be discussed. One room is where he bathes, and a bathtub has been built. The bedroom is in the innermost room, and there is a door to communicate with the bathroom. There are carved fences and arches between the bedroom and the bedroom, so it is impossible to peep inside.

Now Li Yan is in the lounge, because it is a place where he occasionally rests, and the layout is relatively simple, only a soft couch, a bookshelf, a desk, and a back chair.There is also a small round table, three round stools, and a washing shelf on which items such as face cloths are placed, and some flowers and green plants are also arranged in the room.

Xiao Ion brought out the dishes and put them on the small round table, and put out a small bowl of the thin rice and white rice she made, then stood by the side and waited. She didn't know if Li Yan needed someone to serve him, but he didn't. Tell her to back down, she dare not move rashly.

Although he didn't dare to look at him directly, he felt like he was in the same room with him, and his heart was beating hard.

Li Yan put down the book in his hand, came to the round table and sat down, "Today's dishes are different from the past, did you cook them?"

"It was done by the slave." Xiao Ion replied with his head lowered.

Li Yan frowned. For some reason, she just didn't like her low-browed look, "I used to eat in your big kitchen, and I didn't see you being so cautious. Why did you get in the way when you got to your own place? Don't worry, I can’t eat that much by myself, I have no taste, I’m very lonely, don’t you say that the sun and the moon shine together forever, I like this sentence very much, it feels like it’s in my heart, come and use it with me Come on, let's go back and relax. I, facing that group of people with fake faces, are too tired. When I go back to the palace, I just want to relax."

For some reason, he babbled and pushed, and Xiao Ion felt sore when he heard it.
