The moment we entered, the people inside immediately kneeled down and shouted out together, "We greet the Emperor, we pay our respects to the princess."
After everyone had stood up, a few people started to quietly size up the Emperor and me. Their eyes were always on our door, with Li Jun's probing look.
'Show the palace feast's dishes to the princess. The Emperor ordered a leader.
The man was in his forties, wearing a cooking apron, like a chef.
I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so I just smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Chef."
'Princess is too courteous. It's my duty. The chef's demeanor was calm and composed. He did not show any signs of being flattered nor did he deliberately distance himself from the chef.
There were many plates and bowls on the table, and inside the bowls, there was delicious food.
I looked at the food. The ancient people really didn't know how to economize. There were so many dishes, it was really a full feast.
'Is there anything that the princess isn't satisfied with? ' Chef looked at me in surprise.
'No, very good. 'These dishes are all perfect. I just don't know what the main course of the chefs is. ' I started to speak.
'Does the Princess have anything better to recommend me? ' The head chef obviously knew who he was and didn't directly introduce his dishes. Instead, he asked for my opinion. I couldn't help but be impressed by his wit.
'I've heard of a dish before. I think it's just right for the palace feast. I wonder if Chef is interested in trying it out? ' I laughed.
"I'd like to hear more about it." Chef gave me a smile, a very sincere smile.
So I introduced the chef in detail to a very hot state dinner with boiling water and boiled cabbage.
At that time, I was still looking at it online. To be more precise, Su Ye saw it, she was shocked by the delicacy of that dish, so she shamelessly asked me to cook it for her.
At that time, I loved to study the recipe, so I went online to look for recipes. After studying the words for a long time, I succeeded. Although they weren't that beautiful, it was still imagined by the points.
This boiled cabbage used to be a Sichuan dish, but it was later served at a state dinner in the Qing Dynasty.
The boiled cabbage was mainly made of Chinese cabbage. It boiled the chicken and duck ribs along with the chicken and pork broth. The broth was crisp and mellow. The broth was thick and rich. It was not oily nor greasy. It was refreshing and refreshing.
It was an exquisite and grand method of cooking, which was very suitable for eating at this kind of occasion. After my introduction to the chef, she showed great interest.
'I've never heard of such a method before. Princess is truly knowledgeable. I'm impressed. As Chef spoke, he cupped his fists in respect.
'Chef, you're too courteous. I was just trying to keep my mouth shut. As for the actual work, I'll have to trouble chefs. I didn't claim credit for my actions, but said modestly.
The head chef was indeed the head chef. I made it sound so simple, but the item felt that if it was so easy for someone to describe the recipe to me, I would definitely not be able to cook it.
However, after the chef had prepared the ingredients, he began to do the exercises skillfully, as if he had already practiced it a thousand times. He didn't panic at all and just carried on with his routine.
I marveled at the comprehension ability of the head chef. After a short while, the head chef brought steaming hot boiled cabbage over.
I took a sniff and the smell hit my nose. I didn't eat much of the authentic boiled water cabbage at the state dinner, but the current taste made me think it tasted like this.
'Chef sure is amazing. I can do what I want just by saying that. I'm impressed. I did not hide my admiration.
'Princess Jin Qiuyu means someone who is unaffected by the spring water but is able to study the culinary arts. I am deeply impressed by her as well.
The emperor left very early. After bringing me in, he left by himself. I gave the boiled water cabbage to a young eunuch and told her to send it over to the emperor.
After all, the Emperor had seen the people of the palace feast countless of times.
After a while, the young eunuch returned with the bowl of soup. When I opened it, it was unexpectedly empty.
'Princess, your majesty has already finished the soup. The emperor has a very high opinion of this dish, saying that it can be called our palace feast's main dish is definitely enough to amaze the emissaries of other countries. "The little eunuch was very happy, and after entering, he was even reluctant to put down the bowl. He was still holding it, smiling brilliantly.
That's good. Although it was within expectations, he was still very happy and felt that he had been acknowledged.
Originally, I had planned to make a hotpot in palace feast. After all, no one here had eaten this thing before, but after some thought, it was after all, such a dignified banquet.
A group of people eating hotpot seemed to feel a little awkward.
For most of the next day, Chef and I chatted happily as we shared our insights on cooking.
I also gave the chefs the Red Braised Lion's Head and Buddha's Jump Wall's recipes. These were all things I liked to eat in the past, but they were also quite famous, so I thought that everyone should like them back.
After being repeatedly invited by the head chef, I stayed at the palace to eat dinner before returning. By the time I left the palace, the sky had already darkened.
'This late at night.' When I reached the palace gates, I looked at the already dark sky and lamented.
'Star. The Emperor sent me a carriage, and just as I was about to get on, I heard someone call my name from behind.
I had just one foot on it when I pulled it back. It was a white scene. Bai Jing was wearing a mysterious green robe, appearing to be quite far away.
'Why are you here, you just came out of the palace? ' I looked doubtfully at Bai Jing.
'I'm here to take you home. Bai Jing walked over with a yellow cape in his hand. He walked to my side and gently put it on me. He even seriously tied a bow.
'What's wrong with you? You're being so considerate today? ' I'm not used to it. My relationship with Bai Jing has advanced by leaps and bounds recently, but Bai Jing still has some male attributes.
'Sword1 said girls need to be pampered, 'Bai Jing's expression was a bit awkward.
I was amused. So it was Jian Yi's idea. I was wondering why Bai Jing was acting so differently today.
'What did you say to Sword One? He taught you that.
'As soon as Jian says that I was born with a dull temperament and that I am somewhat cold to you, I will make you angry in return. I hope that you can be happy. Bai Jing's eyes looked evasive as he spoke, and even his face was bright red, as if he was smeared with rouge. He looked very cute.
