Seeing that they didn't believe it, Zhang Deshui pointed to the leaf and said, "you don't believe it, do you? If you don't believe it, well, let her bake you a sheep later."
There is humanity: "it doesn't count for us to taste it. It doesn't count until Shangshu has tasted it."
Another person said with a smile, "Zhang Deshui, are you in a hurry to seek medical treatment? You should find such a little brother... No, it should be a little girl?"
"Zhang Deshui, we old people don't have time to waste with you. You are from the National Teachers' house. Even if the final thing is not satisfied with the law and the document, you also have people from the National Normal University to guarantee for you. We can't do it. If we can't do it well, who will guarantee us at that time?"
"..." everyone said a word to me. Anyway, no one believed Zhang Deshui.
Zhang Deshui didn't break with them either. He just said, "forget it, you bake yours and we bake ours. Let's see who likes the last thing!"
Zhang Deshui led ye to his stove and called several helpers to help him. Then he said to those helpers, "today we all listen to ye and do what ye asks us to do."
When several kitchen assistants saw Zhang Deshui, they had to listen to Ye. At first, they also questioned that Zhang Deshui would not really go to hospital for an emergency, right?
Find such a little girl and listen to her?
Or is it because Lord Shangshu was forced so hard that he broke the jar?
Alas, I've been practicing my hand all day. Just listen to Zhang Deshui. If Zhang Deshui wants to listen to the little girl, then listen to the little girl.
Ye Xiaoxian doesn't talk much.
She knew that her appearance had such an effect. The people here are older than her, otherwise they can't be a royal chef. The older people like to put on airs in front of the younger generation and pretend to be a master.
It doesn't matter. She can speak with the results.
She is also a very rigorous person when she starts cooking. Once she starts working, it is easy to forget the surrounding environment. She begins to arrange her work in an orderly manner. Who is responsible for picking food materials, who is responsible for pickling, who is responsible for making a fire and starting a stove, and how much the fire costs, she has all arranged it meticulously.
These Kitchen helpers see that the leaves look like the same thing. Now they don't doubt that Zhang Deshui has been hospitalized in an emergency. Try it anyway. It may really work.
The roast sheep was roasted all afternoon, and the suckling pig was roasted all afternoon. The requirements of cattle and dogs are not high. As long as they are cooked, because cattle and dogs have to be reprocessed in the later stage. The chicken is usually cooked and will be made into white cut chicken in the later stage.
After the six animals were ready, the cooks were all tired and sweating. They carefully put their own things on the stage, and then collapsed on the ground one by one. They rested and wiped their sweat.
Of course, they will also observe what others do. What attracts the most attention is the things of Zhang Deshui and ye Xiaoxian. They just want to see what effect Zhang Deshui and Ye Zi can make.
Zhang Deshui and the Kitchen helpers put things on the table one by one.
Ye Xiaoxian was also tired. She found a bench and sat aside to wipe her sweat.
Cooks are really not capable of ordinary people, especially women. It's still summer, and there's no air conditioning like modern kitchens. Even if the ventilation effect is good, it's still as hot as a stove.
She only hoped that the minister could come quickly so that she could leave the palace earlier.
……
In the evening, the great scholar finally came.
The book looks very young, in his forties, with a black beard. He looks very serious. He didn't look very good when he came in.
When the cooks saw him, they couldn't help standing up and respectfully.
When ye saw that everyone stood up, she had to stand up and look at the Shangshu.
"Is everything ready? Compared with yesterday, it has improved?" Shang Shu asked.
Someone boldly said, "yes... I added some spices."
Another man said, "I cooked it before baking. When baking, there was oil flowing out, as if I had gone back to the pot."
“……”
Everyone said that they had made improvements, but in fact, the improvements were not big at all.
Shangshu said angrily, "it's all nonsense!"
Finally, he looked at Zhang Deshui. Zhang Deshui laughed: "Lord Shangshu, we not only added spices, changed processes, but also changed people. Today I'm not the chef, but this little lady is."
The minister looked at Ye Xiaoxian and scolded: "nonsense, it's all nonsense!"
Zhang Deshui quickly explained: "no, this is Mrs. Xiao. She used to live in the tribe for two or three years. She made the sheep and cattle of the tribe."
The minister looked at Ye Xiaoxian.
Zhang Deshui said again, "she is still the wife of General Xiao Baoshan."
"Oh?" The Minister of rites looked at Ye Xiaoxian with curiosity.
Ye Xiaoxian saluted and did not speak.
Women in this era, especially those with status, talk less. Besides, she was afraid of saying something wrong.
Anyway, he'll know if the things she made are good or not?
Zhang Deshui quickly cut a small piece of mutton with a knife, then handed it to the Shangshu, and then respectfully said, "Sir, you have a taste. It's delicious. Really, the master ate it last night, and all the people in the master's House praised her craftsmanship."
The Shangshu also put a piece in his mouth with dubious confidence.
Who knows, as soon as the roast sheep came into his mouth, his eyes lit up in an instant.
yummy!
Many years ago, when he was traveling around, he once ate roast sheep with this taste. Unexpectedly, he ate it again at this time.
It's the original taste, the taste in memory.
Shangshu ate one piece, but not enough. Then he ate two or three pieces.
When the people next to him saw that Shangshu adult ate like this, they all understood that the things made by leaves tasted really good, otherwise he wouldn't eat so much at once and eat with relish. Shangshu is usually so serious. Now he eats his mouth full of oil and doesn't know how to wipe it.
It's just, is it really so delicious?
They want to have a taste, too.
Shangshu ate seven or eight pieces of roast sheep in a row, and then went to eat the roast suckling pig. After tasting one piece, he still looked surprised, and he couldn't stop eating.
Until he was satisfied with the food, the minister took out the veil to wipe his mouth, and then asked Ye Xiaoxian, "where did you learn this skill?"
Ye thought about it and made up a reason: "I knew a folk cook in my early years. He taught me."
Alas, she won't tell Shangshu that she has studied in New Oriental for a long time, and then she has studied it for a long time. Only then can she have such exquisite craftsmanship.
Shang Shu was very satisfied with her answer: "I have tasted this taste. That person must be your master, right?"
Ye Zi said, "the man didn't want to be named."
"That's it. When I ate the taste, he said he was at ease and wouldn't stay in a fixed place. You must be his apprentice. I didn't expect him to pass on his craft to a woman. However, he had his reasons for doing so. In general, as long as the delicious food can be passed down."
Ye Xiaoxian thinks that the Shangshu adult is self hi and has a big brain hole.
If there is such a person, I guess it's through, right?
However, she should not meet.
After the Shangshu finished talking to himself, he clapped the board on the spot. On the day of sacrifice, he wanted to roast sheep and pigs with leaves.
He didn't even bother to try what other cooks made.
Of course, the cooks are not satisfied. The little girl is young and the baked food is really so delicious?
Seeing their disapproval on their face, the minister said, "you don't believe it? OK, you can also taste what others have made and compare what you have baked. It's a shame to say it's the imperial chef."
With permission, the imperial chefs gathered around to try.
Although everyone has different tastes, none of these things baked with leaves is really bad.
People realized that Zhang Deshui was not really ill and went to hospital. The leaf was really material.
Oh, by the way, Zhang Deshui just said that this is the wife of xiaobaoshan. They have always heard that xiaobaoshan married a village woman. They didn't expect that the village woman's cooking is so superb.
Or maybe she can only cook roast sheep and pigs, not anything else. After all, there are only these in the village.
Since Lord Shangshu decided to roast suckling pigs and sheep made by Ye Xiaoxian, he didn't talk nonsense with other cooks. He directly asked other cooks to go first, leaving only leaves and Zhang Deshui.
Because there are still some details to discuss with Ye.
The Shangshu asked ye, "will Mrs. Xiao come on the day of the sacrificial ceremony? Or... Mrs. Xiao will pass on this cooking to Zhang Deshui, and only Zhang Deshui needs to come alone?"
As soon as Shangshu asked, Zhang Deshui looked at Ye foolishly and wished ye would immediately pass on his cooking skills.
Although he also saw a 7788 today, he still didn't master some details and needed some guidance from the leaves. Otherwise, he would have to be beheaded in the end to achieve that effect.
But ye said, "this is the skill taught by the master. Without his consent, how dare I pass it on to others?"
Fortunately, Lord Shangshu mentioned her so-called "master" earlier, otherwise she had no excuse to shirk it.
Lord Shangshu thought this was also reasonable and said, "yes, it must be approved by the master of others. However, if Mrs. Xiao can't teach Zhang Deshui, you have to go to battle yourself. Can you be busy that day?"
Ye Zi said, "as long as there are enough people to help, you can still be busy."
The minister also made a decision: "well, on the day of sacrifice, Mrs. Xiao will be the chef. At that time, all the imperial chefs in the palace will be at your disposal."
……
Ye Xiaoxian's story suddenly spread in the palace. She was not only angry in the palace, but also outside the palace.
The Minister of rites made a guarantee that ye Xiaoxian would be the chef of the sacrifice, and told the queen about it.
The queen is skeptical, but it is said that the minister has been tossing about for a long time. Now she finally meets a satisfactory cook.
