Chapter 71 The emperor loves to eat meat, Yan Bing learns barbecue

The eight-treasure steamed suckling pig has a soft, glutinous and tender texture. The aroma of the meat is combined with the seasonings, and the taste is rich in layers. One bite will leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth. The eight-treasure rice in your belly is soft and sticky, sweet and nutritious, and easy to digest.

When the emperor and empress saw the steamed, rosy and shiny eight-treasure suckling pig being served on the table, their appetites immediately whetted their appetites.

The emperor felt that although the portion of steamed suckling pig looked large, it seemed that they were not full if they shared it. He felt that he was very hungry today and could eat a whole pig.

Xiao Yunyan persuaded her from the side: "Father, you can only eat a quarter of this roasted suckling pig today. If you eat too much, your stomach and intestines cannot digest it, which will increase the burden on your body."

When the emperor heard that he was unwilling, he told him after just two bites that he could only eat in small bites. A quarter of a suckling pig is not big enough to fit between the teeth. But he also knows that his daughter-in-law is doing it for his own good. Alas, when will meat freedom be achieved?

Just as the emperor and queen were enjoying the delicious roast suckling pig together, their favorite niece came running over. After saying goodbye, Yan Bing looked at the tempting eight-treasure roast suckling pig with bright eyes, and clamored to try his cousin's cooking.

The emperor immediately ordered Xiao Yunyan to divide his quarter, but he couldn't let this little girl take away a little bit of his delicious food.

Yan Bing pouted and laughed at the emperor's uncle for being so protective of the food. Of course, this is just a psychological activity, she dare not say it directly, the emperor protects the food.

The little eunuch who was waiting nearby immediately added a pair of bowls and chopsticks. The queen put a piece of soft pork into Yan Bing's bowl, and also put a piece of pork into the bowl of Xiao Yunyan who was sitting next to him. The four of us sat together and had a very cozy dinner.

Although the emperor felt that his appetite had greatly increased, he was full after eating a few mouthfuls of suckling pig and eight-treasure rice, a little tender steamed egg with shrimps, and a few mouthfuls of green vegetables.

The queen didn't eat much either. After the two were full, they left space for their daughter-in-law and niece. The queen helped the emperor to walk in the imperial garden.

Yan Bing immediately launched an offensive of sweet words to Xiao Yunyan, begging her cousin sister-in-law to teach her how to make eight-treasure steamed suckling pig, barbecue, steamed buns, and various delicious dishes.

Xiao Yuntian smiled with crooked eyebrows. She especially liked this eccentric little cousin.

A eldest lady who never touched the good news and teased cats and dogs every day suddenly came to learn cooking skills from her. It goes without saying that there must be a strong endogenous motivation. Xiao Yunyan is sure that this motivation comes from Wu Zheng.

Xiao Yunyan pretended not to know and asked her why she wanted to learn cooking? Learning to cook is a lot of work. Cooking delicious food also comes at a cost. Your hands will become rough and your nails will become greasy. I asked him if he still wants to learn?

Yan Bing thought about it and decided to learn it. He also knows that everything comes at a cost. If you want to learn how to cook well, it’s not just what your cousin said, but you may also burn your skin with oil spots and cut your fingers with the blade of a knife.

However, she still wants to work hard to learn a skill.

Although her family background is prominent. Among girls of the same age, her status is considered to be one of the best in the capital.

However, in the future she will marry someone else. I can’t do anything, and it doesn’t seem to make sense.

Especially her sworn enemies, who would reduce her to nothing every time they saw her. A group of girls were chattering together, using their skills in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting to disgust her, saying that she was a big idiot and a female bully who could do nothing but mess around.

This time Qiu Xiang, he will blind their eyes with his cooking skills. Let's see who says she doesn't know anything and calls him a big idiot?

She is not stupid, her father and brother both say that she has never studied anything carefully.

He is good at horseback riding, archery, fishing, and whip playing. These are things he learned when he was playing with his father and brothers since he was a child.

Later, when she grew up, she was completely uninterested in all the things that girls should learn. In addition, she was a bit lively and restless by nature, so she was ridiculed by the girls of the same age who studied with her.

This time he wants to make a comeback. Xiao Yunyan saw that she had such great determination and wanted to help her. After all, this cousin's reputation was very bad by girls of their own age. She even felt a little sorry for this little cousin who looked strong on the outside and seemed indifferent, but actually cared about her on the inside.

However, cooking skills are not learned in a day. Since this Autumn Festival will be held in four days, let's teach her the simplest variety of barbecue. Mainly barbecued meats, as well as some other vegetables and soy products, and mushrooms can be used to be skewered and grilled.

She also loved barbecue in her previous life. Especially when I was on a mission in Northeast China, I once went to Jinzhou, a big city in Liaoning. The streets there are full of barbecue restaurants.

The most interesting thing is that many families say that their barbecue is the most authentic. There is a big stone placed in front of every house with the words, "Intangible Cultural Heritage" written on it. Although there is no certificate of inheritance, they all say that they are the most authentic barbecue masters.

During the few days I was stationed there, I ate small barbecue, cold beer, cold noodles, and a side of mixed cauliflower every day. After tasting each one, I found that although the taste is slightly different, they are all very good.

Xiao Yunyan also spent money to learn the barbecue techniques from many chefs for this delicious food, and also learned how to prepare barbecue seasonings.

BBQ cannot be complete without cold dishes, and cold cauliflower is the dish most commonly seen in Northeastern barbecue restaurants. In some places, it's called vegetarian.

Cauliflower is not really cauliflower, but a way of saying that many kinds of vegetables are mixed together. The main ingredients are just a few types of cucumbers, fungus, yuba, seasonal green vegetables, and the soul of it, fried peanuts, mixed into a sweet and sour taste, which is a perfect match for eating barbecue and drinking beer.

Xiao Yunyan decided to teach her only these two things. Yan Bing heard that these two foods were the most popular at the barbecue banquet. She was very happy and asked her cousin to teach her how to barbecue first.

The two of them started teaching enthusiastically in the queen's small kitchen, where the ingredients were mainly vegetarian and there was almost no meat.

Xiao Yunyan asked the eunuch in charge to get some of each kind of fresh meat from the big kitchen, while teaching Yan Bing how to make barbecue seasoning.

Of course these things mainly come from her space. In order to facilitate her little cousin to quickly learn cooking skills, she bought mixed barbecue seasonings from the space, including dry and wet ingredients, all mixed in advance.

The two of them prepared the vegetarian dishes first, eggplant, peppers, leeks, mushrooms, sweet potato slices, yuba and tofu cubes. During this period, there is only yuba, which is the tofu skin that is connected when making tofu and boiling soy milk. There is no process for making dry tofu yet.

Xiao Yunyan decided to make some dried tofu by herself after a while. That thing is a very good ingredient whether it is stir-fried, mixed, stewed, or eaten raw.

Although there are not a lot of dishes, the few dishes that are washed out add up to a large bowl.

They took the cooks who were responsible for cutting and cutting ingredients such as sweet potatoes, tofu, eggplants, and peppers that needed to be cut with knives. Soon the meat was brought back. Xiao Yunyan first taught them how to change the knife for meat.

Beef tendons, hoof tendons and bone tendons are thrown into the pot and cooked until they are nine-cooked, then cut into pieces. Beef, mutton and pork are cut into small pieces, and chicken breast, duck breast and venison are all cut into large thin slices. , marinated in different categories for flavor.

Then a group of maids, eunuchs, and cooks washed their hands and nails together, sat around the big table, and collectively put on meat and vegetable skewers.

Why did Xiao Yunyan prepare so many ingredients? Because he knew that Yan Bing had never made food before, so the success rate would not be very high. She reserved all the ingredients that were burnt or too roasted to be eaten.

She planned to share the remaining half-baked ones with the hard-working servant girls and eunuchs to taste, and the last ones that were successfully roasted would be used to make lunch for the emperor and queen, and the two of them at noon.

Xiao Yunyan started to demonstrate, and the perfect meat and vegetable skewers she grilled went into the stomachs of Yan Bing and the little eunuch and the maid. Looking at a pair of eyes eager for delicious food, Xiao Yunyan couldn't bear to let them down. So I roasted half of the ingredients first. This process was only explained, Yan Bing was not allowed to do anything, and she was allowed to observe carefully.

The next step is to teach Yan Bing how to grill skewers. Although he had made all kinds of preparations and the ingredients were fully prepared, he still overestimated his little cousin's hands-on ability.

This kid knows nothing about cooking. During the whole learning process, one moment the sparks burst into pieces and screamed; the other the meat was burnt and she was in a hurry; the vegetables were roasted too wilted and she had no appetite, and she screamed in disgust. The whole learning process was full of situations and extremely lively.

Xiao Yunyan felt that she still lacked consideration and prepared too few ingredients. Looking at the two pitiful skewers of roasted peppers on the plate that were barely edible, Xiao Yuntian put her hand on her forehead and asked the steward to quickly get more ingredients.

She had to bake the kebabs herself first, enough for several people to eat for lunch, and then let her little cousin Huo Huo get the best ingredients.

The steward in the palace is very capable. When he was chattering in the kitchen, he could smell the strong smell of paste.

Therefore, he had already ordered his men to prepare another batch of ingredients in advance. When Xiao Yunyan ordered to get the ingredients, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring them up.

Xiao Yunyan praised him for being very discerning and said that she would give him a taste when the meat skewers are ready.

The steward smiled happily and thanked his master for the reward. I secretly cursed in my heart, what kind of delicious food can the eldest lady of the Yan family bake? If you don't poison him to death, it will burn high incense!

The hard work paid off, and when it was almost noon and Yan Bing finally finished baking the third batch of ingredients, the baking was finally successful.

At least the meat was cooked and not so mushy. The vegetarian vegetables are grilled to a medium-rare state, so you won’t have diarrhea after eating them.

Looking at his learning results, Yan Bing was so excited that he cried. This is the most successful thing she has done since she was a child. Achieving success in her studies also gave her a new understanding of her abilities. She, Yan Bing, can proudly say that she is not an idiot!
