Chapter 153

The servant girl exclaimed.

The crisp crack of porcelain.

There are still warm dishes on the ground.

The white cat landed lightly, and there was no apology for doing bad things in his cunning eyes. He saw the butterfly fly away, stretched out his claw hook, and his ears suddenly moved. There was a faint call from his excrement shoveling officer in the distance. He looked at the fish on the bluestone slab, ran away, leaving the mess all over the ground to the servant girls to worry about.

The servant girl who passed the dishes was first frightened by the cat's sudden collision. Then the porcelain fell to the ground and shook. Her mind was blank and there was no room for thinking. Until the cat ran away, the dining eunuch caught up and saw the fish lying on the broken porcelain and bluestone slab and the flowing sauce. "How can you be so careless!"

The servant girl slowly recovered and breathed. This was an important dish. She was afraid that her life would be difficult to protect. Her face was even paler. She quickly explained the reason: "father-in-law, slave... Slave was not intentional!"

"Fortunately, the servant girls behind know to stop and don't cause great disaster, otherwise you can't escape!" The eunuch accused the servant girl of breaking into the pot and shaking her body into a sieve. She wanted to bury herself as a quail. Her eyes turned red when she thought she couldn't see the sun tomorrow. She shed two lines of clear tears and didn't dare to cry.

The dining eunuch saw that he didn't disturb the nobles in the distance. He waved them back, sent them back to the kitchen first with the fish, and commanded other servant girls with vegetables to take another road: "be careful, keep your feet steady, and don't be hit by the cat again!" He also said to the servant girl who made a mistake: "what are you still doing here? Quickly take a broom and rag to deal with the aftermath. Don't let the nobles find clues here. If they get close to here and cause injuries, no one can save you. Our family is watching here. Go and go back quickly! "

The servant girl nodded hurriedly: "yes!"

When the servant girl came back, the steward and eunuch went to see the cloth dishes first. The ladies had sat down to drink tea and chat, and all kinds of cold dishes were placed on the table. He slipped back and hurried to the kitchen.

The chef in the kitchen was also waiting for the chef. When he saw him coming, he kept scolding: "what's the matter with you? How can you return the shad? It's just the right time to get out of the pot. Now you're cold and have a fishy smell. When you return to the pot and bring it out warm, the taste and smell become worse. If the long Princess asks, how can I explain to the long princess? You deliberately smash my signboard, don't you? "

The dining eunuch smiled bitterly: "calm down your anger. We had no choice but to deliver the dishes. Suddenly, a white cat rushed out and jumped on the servant girl. One of the fish was destroyed. Our family quickly withdrew them all to the kitchen. Please discuss whether we can make another fish quickly?"

"Now!" The chef's voice was high, and the helpers in the kitchen looked at it all at once. "Do you know that shad is very expensive and difficult to buy, and it's only possible to buy shad with the same weight and size. For a while and a half, even if you go to the fish market and buy it at a high price, you may not be able to buy it!"

Dining eunuch: "can you replace it with other fish?"

"As I said, either change all the fish for other dishes, or don't go at all. Tell the manager and apologize to the long Princess afterwards." The chef said.

"No, the number of dishes has been reported. You can't help it. Change to another dish." Said the dining eunuch.

In the bird's nest on one side of the kitchen.

This flower feast, she was transferred to the kitchen to be next to the pastry white case, responsible for melons, fruits, vegetables and preserved fruits. She happened to encounter difficulties in the kitchen, but she was very quiet. How should she interrupt?

Instead of trying to break the head of the bird's nest, the chef first put forward the question: "you all heard it, and I won't say much. At present, it is the fault of the chef and the challenge of our kitchen. You have a good time. This has been exposed; They didn't eat happily and our kitchen had to be punished. Now, the idea of Guangzheng is to make dishes according to the existing materials in the kitchen, which are fast and short in time, serve them in advance, make the last big dish, and finally serve them. Let me remember. "

Cook: "how about mussels? Roast mussels on the fire. When they are about to be cooked, season them with minced garlic. It tastes delicious and doesn't take long."

"Not so much. There are women's dependents on the table. Minced garlic tastes great. Some people don't like the smell of garlic." The chef refuted his suggestion.

You can rinse your mouth with green tea afterwards. The cook talks about it.

At this time, the bird's nest came out and offered a proposal: "the government bought 'Xishi tongue', which is white, plump, delicious and crisp. It can be used to make melon skin, Xishi tongue, or other soup."

"Xi Shi's tongue" is a sand clam, not a clam, not a clam. It is a thick small triangular light brown yellow shell. The white meat it spits out is like a small tongue and tastes delicious. There is also a legend that Xi Shi Fan Li failed to escape, Xi Shi bit her tongue and vomited the lake and was swallowed by a clam. Although I don't know whether it is a fisherman or a local writer who gave it to a small shell in order to make it famous and easy to buy and sell, But the name does make "Xishi tongue" popular in the capital fish market.

The chef looked at her a little more and asked her to go on.

"Boil Xi Shi's tongue, remove the internal organs, wash, select the spinach heart, scald it with boiling water, put it into the bottom of the soup bowl, put the boiling soup into Xi Shi's tongue, sprinkle leek and coriander after boiling, and pour it into the soup bowl. This soup is fresh and delicious. It is suitable for adjusting the taste during the dinner, and then add meat dishes with thick oil and red sauce."

The chef nodded.

Another person disagreed, "it's better to compete with crabs. There are already fish as the main ingredient here, and the taste of crabs is made with eggs. Isn't it amazing?"

"Doesn't this remind the eldest princess that there should have been a fish dish on the table, which is self defeating." The dining eunuch disagreed.

The balance in the mind of the chef and the chef eunuch has tilted to the direction of Xishi's tongue. You see, the meaning is good. The west is as beautiful as flowers. You can introduce it to the banquet to replenish Yin, nourish the heart, cool the liver and brighten the eyes. The ladies must like this dish, and it's easy to cook. It's in time to put it at the banquet, which won't arouse the suspicion of the guests and the long princess.

When they decide on the alternative dishes, they start cooking in an orderly manner. The cook's hand bumps. The dishes turn over and draw a half arc in the air along the arc of the iron pot. The blazing fire immediately wraps them. Their parabola slides back into the pot along the arc of the iron pot, and the fire returns to the stove, so they can pick up the pot.

Dishes were carried out by the servant girls like running water.

At the banquet, the eldest princess summoned the manager's ear and asked him to go to the kitchen to urge him. Why didn't the shad come?

"It's over." The chef and the dining eunuch were overwhelmed by the news.

The manager understood the process and ordered, "I don't care what you do, this dish must be served!"

When he left, the chef and the catering eunuch continued to worry while asking people to buy fish.

The bird's nest said again, "if, the maidservant means if. If you cut a fish in half, wouldn't there be a dish without it? "
