The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

Mu De visited Zixiu's work and said, "Sure enough, brother is superior, so I admit defeat."

Zixiu said with some embarrassment, "Your ones are also very good."

Unexpectedly, Mu De said: "It is true that I lost today, but tomorrow, I will definitely win back, brother, see you tomorrow."

Zixiu pulled out a smile and nodded. This man was really rude when he spoke.

The author has something to say: strive for daily updates =. =

No.60 dishes

Regardless of whether Mu De is polite or not, it is a fact that Zixiu won the first round. From the emperor to the court ladies and eunuchs, everyone is happy for him, no, maybe it should be said that they are happy for Qing Dynasty.

Doucai was proposed by the Mongolian tribe. Now that they lost the first round, it will definitely affect their fighting spirit.

Let’s talk about these two carvings, Mu De’s Crystal Great Wall is actually a masterpiece, it can be used on any occasion, but he happened to meet Zixiu, and was overwhelmed by Zixiu’s beautiful rivers and mountains .

The victory of Jinxiu River and Mountain lies in its verisimilitude. The trickle flowing down from the top of the mountain merges into the long river below. This kind of skill can be achieved by anyone without a deep foundation.

Zixiu's sculpture was carefully carried back to the imperial dining room, and all the imperial cooks rushed to observe it. If they could, they would like to keep it forever.

Zixiu was very happy after winning the first round. He is very satisfied with today's work, because it is better than any previous carving.But he was still a little uncomfortable in the face of everyone's admiration. He was not good at dealing with such occasions, so he returned to his room as soon as the fighting was over.

In order not to make him too tired, Kangxi spared him from being late. Taking advantage of this time, Zixiu began to study the dishes to be prepared tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the second round. The ingredients are duck feet. There are many ways to make duck feet. Zixiu has been thinking about which one he should make.If it was just an ordinary game, he wouldn't care so much, but it has something to do with Qing's honor and Kangxi's face, so he can't do it according to his own preferences.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt pressured.Although Master and Kangxi both told him not to be nervous and just go on as usual, how could he not be nervous?

He won the first round, and Mulder will definitely try to win the next round. How can he make a duck paw to win by surprise?

That night, Zixiu didn't sleep well. Although it wasn't so serious that he got dark circles under his eyes, his mental state was obviously not as good as yesterday.Kangxi knew at a glance that he must be worried, and couldn't help clenching his fists, feeling a little distressed.If he didn't let Zixiu play, Zixiu wouldn't be under so much pressure.

As if aware of Kangxi's worried gaze, Zixiu raised his head and smiled at him, Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled back at him.They all know that no matter what the result is, as long as they try their best, it will be fine.

The process was the same as yesterday, except that the atmosphere was more tense today. Zixiu glanced at Mulder, only to find that Mulder was smiling at him. In must win.

Zixiu frowned, a bad premonition arose in his heart, when he saw Mulder holding a live duck in his hand, he finally knew why he felt this way.

Mu De actually wanted to use live ducks for cooking, making bloody but delicious roasted duck feet!

Roasted duck feet ranks fifth among the legendary top ten famous dishes. Even if it is only fifth, it will be far behind other methods of duck feet.But this dish was extremely bloody, so Zixiu didn't even think about taking the test.

Now, Mulder actually wants to make this dish. It seems that because of yesterday's defeat, he must make a comeback today.

While he was in a daze, Mulder had already started cooking, the duck had already been cleaned by him, and the wings and beak were tied up.He lit the fire without distraction, and then set an iron plate on the fire.

Zixiu finally came to his senses and started to make the emerald duck feet that he had planned. Compared with Mu De, his dish was really ordinary, but even so, he continued to make it carefully step by step.

Looking at Zixiu worriedly from afar, Cheng Li patted his head and said, "Don't worry, you should trust your master."

Cong Yuan nodded, but subconsciously, he no longer thought that Master would win.Not only him, but everyone who knows a little about duck feet thinks so, including Cheng Li.

The method of emerald duck feet is not difficult. The main ingredients are green peppers and duck feet, but the color is bright and it is quite ornamental.

He chooses this dish because it has a moderate taste, and he can't fault it by any means.But compared with roasted duck feet, this dish immediately pales in comparison.

When he was stir-frying the dishes, Mulder's side had reached a critical moment, the iron plate was already hot, and Mulder spread the seasoning on the duck's feet, and then cruelly placed it on the iron plate.

The duck struggled desperately, but couldn't escape the torture of being scorched. Some court ladies couldn't bear to watch, and turned their faces away.

Gradually, the duck feet exude an attractive aroma, which is mixed with the seasoning and the taste of the live duck feet itself, which is actually mouth-watering.

The iron plate was getting hotter and hotter, and the duck's feet were roasted in a short time. With a flash of light in Mulder's eyes, he chopped off the two duck's feet with a knife in his left hand.

One of the maids screamed, and looking at her, she had already fainted on the ground.The rest of the people who were not fainted by the fright didn't feel very well, but they swallowed unconsciously when they saw the pair of golden and attractive duck feet.

Kangxi didn't speak during the whole process, and he also felt that Mulder's method was a bit cruel, but considering that it was just a duck and not a person, he thought it was still acceptable.

Besides, they focus on the result rather than the process. As long as the food is delicious, that person will win.If Zixiu was the one who made this dish today, he would definitely not have such an idea, but he knew that it was impossible for Zixiu to cook this kind of dish.

Zaba's small eyes almost narrowed into lines. Not surprisingly, Mulder must have won today.The Portuguese envoy was only slightly surprised. This was the first time he had seen this cooking method.

When it was time for the competition, the two presented the dishes respectively. The three judges first observed the color, shape, etc. From this point of view, the two dishes were comparable and each had its own characteristics.

Next is the aroma and taste. Zixiu’s emerald duck feet are quite satisfactory. Mu De's skills are also good, so he insisted on overtaking Zixiu's emerald duck paw.

Even so, Kangxi was still partial to Zixiu, he said: "The method of roasting duck feet is too bloody. In my opinion, emerald duck feet are better."

Zaba said: "The emperor's words are wrong, no matter how the roasted duck's feet are made, but its taste is indeed better than the emerald duck's feet, so I think this round is the roasted duck's feet that won."

Kangxi was upset and just snorted coldly.Unexpectedly, the Portuguese envoy over there also said: "The roasted duck feet are indeed extremely delicious, which is really rare in my life."

The result was two to one, what else could Kangxi say, if he continued, others would think he was too partial to Zixiu.He took another look at the roasted duck feet, wondering whether people should be banned from cooking this dish in the future.

Mulder won the second round, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood, mainly because he gave Zixiu a provocative look at the end, but the other party just smiled calmly.He didn't know, but Zixiu felt very helpless in his heart. He didn't feel good at all after losing this round, and the pressure was even greater.

Cheng Li said: "Don't pay too much attention to it, even if you are a teacher, you can't do better today. After two rounds, one wins and one loses, it depends on tomorrow. Zixiu, have you decided what to do? "

Zixiu shook his head, today's incident was a blow to him, not because of the loss, but because of the way and attitude of the other party's cooking.The same is the duck's paw, he can accept it by killing the duck first and then chopping off the duck's paw for cooking, but he can't accept the live duck for cooking.

Maybe others will say that he is falsely kind, but if you can't accept it, you just can't accept it.In fact, his heart was a little messed up.

Tomorrow is the last match. If he loses again, he will really lose. He doesn't want to do this, he doesn't want to make Kangxi sad.But what should he do?What food should he choose?What will the other party do?

He had one head and two big ones, and felt that this was the most difficult and confusing time in his cooking career.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the competition. I regret seeing you like this." Kangxi said, holding Zixiu in his arms.

Zixiu shook his head lightly. It wasn't Kangxi's fault. The key lies in himself. It was because he was not good at learning and he didn't do well enough, otherwise there wouldn't be these problems.

Kangxi raised his chin, looked straight into his eyes, and then dropped a soft kiss: "Don't worry, it's okay to lose."

"Your Majesty, I can rest assured with your words, and you can rest assured that I will not lose tomorrow no matter what." Zixiu assured, "I already know what to cook. This dish can be eaten by anyone. A dish you can't refuse!"

Hearing what he said was decisive, Kangxi suddenly laughed. In his eyes, Zixiu was the most irresistible dish.

The author has something to say: Roast duck feet is really a bloody dish =. = Put ​​a picture, emerald duck feet

Do you know what Zixiu is going to do for the next dish?Akimbo and laughing...

No.60 a dish

That night, Zixiu stayed busy until midnight before going to bed. Thinking of the surprised expressions on everyone's faces tomorrow, he felt that everything was worth it.This game, he must win!

Since this round of ingredients is selected by oneself, kitchen utensils and other things are also prepared by oneself for convenience, so when people see Zixiu entering the arena with only a small wooden cart, they are very nervous.
