my lord, please eat

Chapter 3 Bean Ham

The "initial test" passed, and the two snacks were presented immediately.

Beauty Qian picked up a piece of shortbread the size of a fingernail, put it in her mouth and sipped it lightly, this crispy and fragrant snack surprised her very much. "Mu Xiang, are these two snacks made by the little eunuch you transferred from the imperial kitchen?"

Mu Xiang hurriedly bowed and replied: "If you go back to your mother, these two dim sums are made by Xiao Yongzi. I wonder if they suit your appetite?"

Qian Meiren nodded: "This emerald green in the snow is very good. It is sweet and soft, but not greasy. There is also a hint of tea fragrance. But this peach fragrance is more interesting. It looks inconspicuous, but it is crispy. Delicious. It really has a faint peach blossom aroma. You go and call Xiao Yongzi, I will ask him personally."

Mu Xiang was overjoyed, and hurried to the door to call Gong Xiaoyong.Of course, by the way, he also wants to shock this Trish, who has a good cooking skill.Let him know that his former subordinates are better than him!I want to miss the post of eunuch in charge of the kitchen in our family, and I deserve it!

Gong Xiaoyong cursed secretly again.You can eat as much as you like, and you can eat as much as you like.See you, see you!The emperor is happy to see you, but I, Gong Xiaoyong, are not happy!

The inner "fierceness" and the superficial slavishness belong to the fine-splitting technique. When Gong Xiaoyong saw Qian Meiren, she still tried her best to show a slavish look. "Slave Xiao Yongzi kowtows to see the beauty." Of course, while kneeling and kowtowing, he muttered in his heart: I am not kneeling, no, no, absolutely no!

Gong Xiaoyong didn't dare to look up at Beauty Qian, but Beauty Qian looked at Gong Xiaoyong carefully. "Little Yongzi, raise your head and let me see."

What to see!Have you ever seen a handsome guy?Continuing to "finely divide", Gong Xiaoyong raised her head slightly, except for the flattering expression, everything else was pretty good.

Qian Meiren's evaluation of Gong Xiaoyong is: the appearance is not bad, just a slave look.But it's a slave in the first place, isn't it the appearance of a slave? "Tell me, how are these two dim sum dishes made?"

Mu Xiang asked, he could prevaricate, but when Beauty Qian spoke up, he insisted on talking. "Back to your mother's words. The outer skin of this hidden green in snow is a glutinous rice cake made of glutinous rice. The glutinous rice filling inside is filled with processed vegetable juice and green tea powder. In terms of craftsmanship, it is nothing special. It's just that the servant thinks , the tea has an elegant fragrance, so I didn’t put too much sweetness to take away the taste of the tea. And the peach fragrance is not difficult. The servant saw that the peach blossoms in the yard were in full bloom, so he picked some without authorization and marinated two of them with honey. At Shichen, it is mashed and mixed with flour to make shortbread. The honey neutralizes the bitterness of the peach blossoms and makes the honey taste less sweet."

Qian Meiren nodded in satisfaction: "It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of thought. Mu Xiang really knows people with his eyes. These two teas are well done. Follow the clouds and appreciate them."

Hearing that there was a reward, Gong Xiaoyong was not very happy.Mu Xiang should not be rewarded for anything, so it's better not to reward him so that he can't remember it.

Holding a small porcelain bottle, she left the room where Beauty Qian was dining.Gong Xiaoyong quickly picked up the thing with both hands, as if she had never seen the world before.

Trish's teeth itch with hatred.He has been serving Meiren Qian for a year, and he has only been rewarded three times in total.As a result, this little bastard just arrived, and he won a reward after making two plates of dim sum, which is really irritating!But soon, Mu Xiang called him in again.It seems that Beauty Qian really attaches great importance to the fact that her mother can come to see her.

Taking advantage of the time when Mu Xiang came out, Gong Xiaoyong made do with it: "Mr. Xiang, such a good thing, did my slave deliver it to your house?"

Although Mu Xiang also loves money, he doesn't want to make Gong Xiaoyong feel uncomfortable at this time.So he said generously: "How can you give our family the things that your mother rewarded you? You just need to make our family proud. Put away the things, don't let those jealous people fool you."

Now the little five sons and the other little eunuchs who helped him were born outside.Hearing what the eunuch in charge of the kitchen said, everyone blushed and lowered their heads.Logically speaking, they definitely want to scold them, but their precision skills are not up to standard.All I can do is honestly look at my nose and mouth and ask my heart.

Having got a small porcelain bottle, Gong Xiaoyong hurriedly took it out and looked at it when she returned to her temporary residence at night.

Ever since I found out that I was traveling with a portable space, there was a magical existence of "instantly changing the network".He became concerned about all kinds of things around him.The observation was so meticulous that even the chamber pot did not escape his "thief" eyes.Now this is a gift from a beauty, and it is definitely not a vulgar thing.

Not to mention, when I just received it, I just took a rough look and thought it was a porcelain bottle.But after a closer look, I found out that this thing is really a mess of beauty!This is not a porcelain bottle, this is a glass bottle! !Put it under your nose and smell it, there is still a faint floral fragrance in it. "I earned it!"

The elated Gong Xiaoyong quickly locked the door and entered his own space, but for him.This behavior is called "going home".

After returning, he hurriedly put the glazed incense bottle he had just received in the drawer beside his bed.In the past, it was the place where he put snacks. Since the home became a space, it became the place where he kept his "babies".That is a good place to take out the good things and enjoy them at any time when you are lying down watching movies or taking a rest.

Went to the bathroom to fill up the water.Gong Xiaoyong quickly took a comfortable hot bath.In fact, the toiletries I bought had already been used up.It is too expensive to change online, and now the bathrooms are all things issued by the palace.Although it looks ordinary, it is a good thing without chemical additives.So Gong Xiaoyong felt that the skin of her body was much better than when she first entered the palace.Today, I even ordered a bowl of fresh milk in the small kitchen. The exploiting class used it to drink it, and I used it to bathe and soak my feet.This is also a wonderful way to balance the mind.Ha ha ha ha!

Under normal circumstances, Gong Xiaoyong rarely takes a bath outside.Although the eunuchs have their own bathrooms, they also scientifically have single compartments.But he always felt weird taking a shower there.There is always an aversion to being stared at by others at any time.So if he didn't have to wash every day, he would do it in the space.

As a result, he was just halfway through washing today, and he was humming a little song happily.There was a knock on the door outside.Hearing that unusually "pleasant" voice, Gong Xiaoyong began to curse again.Isn't this looking for smoke, I take half a bath, what the hell are you screaming with your dead crow voice! "Here we come! Wait a minute!!" Cursing, cursing, going out, going out.Fortunately, I wrapped my hair with a shower cap before taking a bath.Now wipe it off, put on the robes of the ancients, and Mu Xiang won't find it strange with his always sloppy virtue.

Seeing Gong Xiaoyong's disheveled appearance again, Mu Xiang really felt that this guy was muddy and couldn't support the wall.But now is the time to rely on Gong Xiaoyong to fight for face, so today's mood is not bad. "Little Yongzi, you have to be vigilant in Fengji Pavilion these few days. You are someone brought by our family. Tracy and the other monkeys are all jealous. You are a sloppy Look, you have to restrain yourself!"

Gong Xiaoyong continued to smile apologetically: "Yes, yes. Didn't I rack my brains to make tea for the beautiful lady today, so I felt that my IQ was not enough, so I lay down early."

Mu Xiang didn't understand: "What? Supreme?"

Gong Xiaoyong's black line: "That is to say, the slave's brains are not enough. Hey, don't worry about this. Come here now, there must be something to do?"

Only then did Mu Xiang realize that he hadn't said anything serious yet. "Isn't there something wrong? Just now, the empress sent someone to order you to cook two cold dishes tomorrow. You should think about it at night."

Gong Xiaoyong really wanted to roll around on the spot and give up.It's a pity that his remaining wisdom told him that it was courting death. "Okay! You can do it! You must not let yourself be ashamed!" Of course, the most important thing is not to let yourself be punished.

According to the etiquette of foreign relatives entering the palace, Madam Qian arrived at Fengji Pavilion with a personal maid, and it was already afternoon.

In the palace, you can't eat whenever you want.The imperial physician and the eunuchs and maids in charge will remind the masters to do this and that on time.So even though Mrs. Qian was very hungry, she still couldn't just eat.But small refreshments that can fill your stomach are still available throughout the day.

This is where Gong Xiaoyong comes in.

Seeing Xiao Wuzi working so hard to help, Tracy was so angry that her stomach hurt.Isn't it just glutinous rice dumplings and shortbread?Looking at the few ingredients I used myself, why did I add peach petals, spinach juice and tea powder and it changed?

Of course these are pediatrics.Refreshment is just refreshment after all, no matter how delicious it is, it cannot be served at the main table.But also because of these two refreshments that Beauty Qian admired, Cui Xi was very curious about what kind of cold dish Gong Xiaoyong was going to make.He couldn't ask Gong Xiaoyong, but he could secretly ask Xiao Wuzi while Gong Xiaoyong was "handing over" refreshments with Mu Xiang.

In fact, Gong Xiaoyong never thought of hiding anything from Tracy.They are all working in the same kitchen, can they still block their stove?But the master cook is not something you can understand just by looking at it.The star point gap can change the taste and even the appearance of a dish.So he didn't worry about his things being stolen, otherwise he wouldn't use Xiaowuzi if he was stupid.

Since it is a cold dish, it can be prepared in advance.The first "bean ham" prepared by Gong Xiaoyong is a dish that must be prepared in advance.

Bean ham is not a rare dish. Everyone makes it in the same way. Basically, it is made by bundling dried tofu into rolls.If you want to taste it, put it in stewed soup or soak it directly.But today Gong Xiaoyong's approach is different.

He mixed soft tofu with pureed chicken wings, put salt and a little sugar, added a little cinnamon powder and ginger juice to taste, and used soy sauce for color.Finally, put it into a bamboo tofu mold box, put a heavy object on it, and press it for 10 minutes.Then put the fixed-formed plain ham into the pot to steam.After steaming, wipe off the water on the surface, brush one side with a mixture of chicken fat and honey sauce, and then bake this side on charcoal until slightly browned.Then cut the plate, this bean ham is done.

The bean ham made by Gong Xiaoyong is not only meaty but not greasy, it has a texture but not dry wood, and it is also tainted with a faint bamboo fragrance during the pressing process.And after grilling with fruit charcoal, it has a mellow taste.The taste is moderately strong, and the color is quite similar to tender meat.When serving, decorate with a few peach blossoms in full bloom. Although it is not eaten, it makes me feel good when I look at it.

After seeing this bean ham made, hate turns to hate, jealousy turns to jealousy.Cui Xi still admires Gong Xiaoyong's ability.The same simple dishes, as long as you spend a little more thought, you can make them beyond people's expectations. "Gong Xiaoyong, looking at you like this, you should be a well-known teacher, right?"

Gong Xiaoyong was in a very good mood just after making a satisfying dish.When Tracy asked, he answered truthfully: "Yes! This craft was passed down by eighteen generations of my parents, fathers, mothers, grandparents, and grandparents in my previous life!"

Well, Xiao Yongzi did not have half a lie.But to Tracy, it's like cursing! ! !
