Palace Full of Delicacies

Chapter 11 General Election

In the kitchen of the palace, there are naturally all kinds of materials.Because he was too poor to buy good ingredients, Su Yu almost forgot that he used to be the chef of a restaurant, not the owner of a night market stall.Now facing a dazzling array of seafood, the long-lost working state suddenly returned.

Hand-sized good scallops, cleaned and pried open, put vermicelli, minced garlic and other ingredients, as well as seafood soy sauce prepared by Su Yu, and finally put sesame oil in the center, steamed in a wok.Then chop the fresh prawns, dip the heads of the prawns in the flour thickened with beaten egg whites, fry them in hot oil until they are browned; cook the prawns in white water, add rice wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, take them out, remove the prawn threads, and put the golden prawn heads Separate from the white shrimp meat and place it in a Tai Chi shape. Two small dishes are filled with salt and pepper and soy sauce respectively, as the fish eyes of Tai Chi Yin Yang fish.

The first two dishes recorded in Su Ji's recipe are now ready.

An Hongxi pressed his chubby face on the table and stared at the little cat, "The two-month time limit is coming soon, I think you should live in the palace."

An Hongche, who was licking his paw, paused, glanced at his younger brother, and continued to lick his paw.

"An Hongzhuo wants to hook up with the old man, but the old man doesn't agree with him." An Hongzhuo moved closer again, "The emperor told you to go back quickly. There are rumors in the court that you will die soon. If you don't come back, these people will To crush my threshold."

Impatiently digging at his ears with his hind paws, An Hongche flicked his tail, signaling his younger brother to shut up, and he had his own discretion when to go back.

"Could you be reluctant to part with that fish seller?" An Hongzhen lowered his voice and looked at Su Yu who was walking here with a plate.

Long-winded!An Hongche couldn't bear it anymore, and pawed his younger brother, and his ears were finally clean.

King Zhao covered his scratched nose and looked curiously at the plate in Su Yu's hand.

Silk-wrapped white jade shells are considered a common dish in the royal family, but this one made by Su Yu seems to be a little different.The aroma of minced garlic exploded in the hot oil, slowly overflowing, and when you get closer, you can even smell the umami of shellfish.

An expert can judge the quality of a dish just by smelling it, and An Hongxi is naturally an expert, and before Su Yu's introduction, he has already picked up the chopsticks.

"Hmm..." After taking a sip, An Hongxi's eyes were filled with tears...he was burned.

The kitten squatting on the table didn't bother to pay any attention to the stupid brother, and went straight to the plate of Tai Chi Yin Yang shrimp, and stretched out its claws to hook the white and tender shrimp meat.

Tai Chi Yin Yang Shrimp, because the method is simple and the ingredients are easy to get, ordinary people can eat it, but An Hongche knows that the essence of this dish lies in the soy sauce that Su Yu boiled himself.

King Zhao learned his lesson this time. He ate the shrimp meat that was not too hot first, picked up the white shrimp body, peeled the shell, and dipped it in the sauce. Naturally, he should honor his elder brother with the first bite.

Su Yu watched in amazement as King Zhao handed the prawns covered in sauce to his cat, and only then did he believe that the prince really knew the cat very well.

One person and one cat ate, Su Yu began to explain his plan for the restaurant, to establish a name in the capital in advance, train apprentices, prepare the seasoning by himself, and open a semicolon within three to five years.The decoration style and Xiao Er's clothing must be exactly the same, similar to the business model of the later generations of Maiji, as long as the funds are sufficient, it will be able to open all over the country.

After making an impassioned statement, Su Yu turned around and saw that a person and a cat were eating without looking up, and they didn't listen to what he was saying.

Su Yu: "..."

After His Royal Highness King Zhao finished eating the last scallop, he coughed dryly and said, "Okay, that's it."

"Ah?" Su Yu was stunned, what do you mean by that?

An Hongxuan called a clearer and asked him to be in charge of the affairs of Su Yu's restaurant. King Zhao's Mansion bought the two shops, and was responsible for the preliminary decoration and purchase, even the craftsmen and technicians. Just pack it up and go to cook and open it. As for the money earned, [-]% will be divided.Su Yu three, King Zhao seven.

Naturally, Su Yu had no objection to such a split. In fact, the original purpose was to get King Zhao to pay half of the money, and to use the tiger skin of the palace as a backstage. He did not expect such a good thing at all.

After signing the deed and writing the deed, An Hongxi didn't make any other demands, but asked Su Yu to keep the bottle of soy sauce and stuffed the sapphire slices into him.

When he returned to Su's house, Su Yu was still a little bit swaying when he walked. How did he encounter such a good thing that a living Lei Feng fell from the sky?I couldn't figure it out for the time being, silently tied a bright red scarf on King Zhao in my heart, Su Yu rubbed his face, and took the cat to pay his respects to his aunt.

"It's about to be a general election. I want to make some beautiful clothes for Yinger." A woman's voice came from the room, Su Yu stopped and frowned.

"It's Aunt Wang from the Grand Master's family." Chuncao whispered to Su Yu.

Aunt Wang is the concubine of Su Yu's uncle Su Xiaozhang. She has a 15-year-old concubine named Su Ying.

Uncle's concubine, even though they are of different seniority, still wants to avoid suspicion. Su Yu stood still in the corridor and did not go in any more.

"Second Brother!" A soft voice sounded from behind, and Su Yu turned around, only to see a little girl about eleven or twelve years old standing timidly three steps away.

"Xiaozhi, why are you here?" Su Yu couldn't help but smiled, this is his concubine sister, born not by the same aunt as him, but by the same father.

"Mother called me over, I..." Su Zhi glanced at the tightly closed door curtain, and quietly grabbed Su Yu's lapel.Every time Aunt Wang sees her, she always sneers and ridicules her. She doesn't want to see her unless it is absolutely necessary, but she has to go when her mother summons her. Unlike Su Yu, she has always respected and feared her aunt.

Su Yu sighed, this girl's mother-in-law was not well-born, and she suffered a lot of grievances in this family, and now she is even more timid.

Stretching out his hand to hold his sister's hand, Su Yu asked Chuncao to go in to report, and they walked in together.

"Yo, the second young master is back." Aunt Wang was beaming with joy at first, but when she saw Su Yu get up quickly, the smile on her face restrained a little.

Su Yu ignored her and bowed to his aunt.

"What did Madam ask Zhi'er to do?" Su Ying didn't salute Su Yu when she saw Su Yu, but just stared at the thin Su Zhi with disdain in her eyes.

News came from the palace that this year's general election will be held as scheduled.There were only two daughters in the family, and Su Zhi was not old enough, so Su Xiaozhang said that their family wanted to send Su Ying, and they had already reported to Zong Zhengsi.Originally, as a concubine, Su Ying didn't have much status in this family. The draft girl was the only chance for all the concubine daughters of noble families to become phoenixes. Once selected, she would have the highest status in the family. How could she Unhappy!

"A few days ago, Yu'er honored me with some silver taels, so someone ordered a pair of bracelets for Zhi'er, and they were delivered today." Mrs. Zhao smiled, took out a small box, and handed it to Su Zhi.

"Mother?" Su Zhi was startled, and looked up at Su Yu, Su Yu didn't know which song it was singing.

Inside the box is a pair of thin silver bracelets, not much silver, but the carving is not bad, the body of the bracelet is slender and round, embedded with a few butterflies that are about to fly, it is very beautiful to wear on Su Zhi's slender arms.

"It's time for Zhi'er to learn from female celebrities, this is a congratulatory gift from your mother and your brother." Zhao said with a smile.

When Aunt Wang heard this, her face immediately changed.These words were clearly stated for their mother and daughter, the family has been divided, Zhao's mother and daughter have to rely on Su Yu for food and drink, even if they want to fight Qiufeng, they will not be able to get a copper.

"Madam, after so many years of friendship, why do you have to be so desperate." The smile on Aunt Wang's face became stiffer and stiffer.

Going to the general election, you must have a decent dress. My wife is so stingy, and I can’t find a decent dress after searching the cages, so I have the cheek to come to the second wife’s wife to play the autumn wind. What should I do?

Over the years, Mrs. Zhao secretly helped Aunt Wang a few times in order to check and balance Dafang's family, but now she has torn her face, Mrs. Zhao is too lazy to pay attention to her, and sent the mother and daughter away with a few words, then asked about Su Yu's restaurant, Knowing that everything went well, he nodded slightly and said with a sneer: "Let them be proud for a few more days, and you will take this to Zong Zhengsi tomorrow."

Su Yu received it, and it was a famous card with his name and birth date written on it, "What is this for?"

An Hongche, who was sleeping soundly in Su Yu's arms, was awakened by the sound coming from his chest. He lazily poked his head out for a look, and suddenly woke up with a cleverness.

"Your uncle definitely doesn't want you to go to the general election, how can I let him do what he wants?" Zhao's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Wait, mother, what general election, I'll go?" Su Yu was completely stunned, wasn't what they were discussing just now the general election of the emperor's draft girl?What does it have to do with him as a man?Seeing Zhao Shi and Su Zhi's normal expressions, Su Yu had a bad premonition.

"Whether the royal family chooses a concubine, regardless of gender, you will naturally go." Zhao looked at him inexplicably.

Ka Ka Ka!A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, splitting Su Yu, who was standing still, into pieces...
