Chef [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 34: I Work as a Cook in a Brothel

As a general, there are correspondingly fewer things to be assessed. Zhang Xiaobai lives a relatively leisurely life when he is preparing for the exam, because he is thinking about His Royal Highness, who is "not to be compensated". When I have time, I will give Qin Ze a small stove alone in Fengtian Temple.

Winter is suitable for food tonic, but it can't be too much. Proper warm tonic will not make people gain too much fat, and keep it within the standard range of blood heat in hands and feet. Those tonics such as ginseng and ganoderma cannot be used. As for the dishes, the main ingredient in Zhang Xiaobai's small stove is mutton, which is the most suitable for winter.

People who like to eat mutton love the smell of mutton, but Qin Ze has no such habit, so he must be extra careful when handling it. Although mutton can be prepared in a variety of ways, if you want to warm it up, you can’t use thick oil and red sauce. Steamed, choose the tender rib meat, remove the fat, marinate with rice wine, green onion and ginger powder sauce, cut into chunks of taro and steam it on the bottom of the plate. The main point of steaming is to be full of fire This method is quite simple, but you must pay attention to the proper heat, the steamed meat is too rotten to eat, and it is impossible to eat if it is not cooked. Only when it is cooked in the right range can it have a taste.

The main dish is steamed mutton, and other dishes can take a step back. You can’t use fresh food such as fish, shrimp and crab to overwhelm the guests. The ordinary chicken, duck, and goose ingredients are just right. It is said that it is chicken, duck, and goose. In fact, there are few ducks in the palace. Chicken is the most widely used ingredient, followed by goose. Duck has a special taste, which is difficult to match with other ingredients. There are relatively few dishes suitable for duck. Zhang Xiaobai didn't cook too much, and cooked a sweet duck.

The recipe for sweet-skinned duck is not difficult. It is marinated two or three hours in advance. Zhang Xiaobai marinates the meat when he is on duty in the palace. It is just right when the next rest is over. The duck is first fried in oil to make the duck skin crispy, and then fried in hot oil. Melt rock sugar into juice, add broth and spices, boil half a pot of rice wine to make marinade, boil the duck in the marinade, fry it again, and brush caramel on the surface of the duck skin.

Then there is a braised pork knuckle and winter bamboo shoot salty meat soup, also known as pickled Duxian. Bamboo shoots are a good thing. Not only does it taste crispy and sweet, it is versatile in dishes, but it can also nourish vitality and improve eyesight. Zhang Xiaobai only needs to see Qin Ze lower his head Reading the memorials made his eyes hurt, and he often made him some food for eyesight in different ways.

Qin Ze is actually not very busy recently, but as long as he is in front of Zhang Xiaobai, he will act like the whole world is persecuting Gu. Out of reverence and gratitude, I feel distressed quite sincerely.

A few days ago, Qin Zebu's eyeliner in Shangjing told him about Qin Lan and Meng Lian. Although the relationship between Meng Lian and Xiao Bai was not good, the fire could not be contained in the paper. Sexual plans can be ruled out. Otherwise, when the incident happens, the uncle gets sex with his brother after drinking, and the nephew gets sex with his highness, the crown prince. All fools will know that there is a problem here.

Qin Ze is also helpless to Qin Lan, a pig brother. He has no intention of finding a woman to have children. Although he has treated these three brothers mercilessly in the past few years, the second and third brothers are very honest and know that they can have children behind closed doors. The fourth child insists on being special, so it's fine to follow him to find a man, and he also took the path he thought of, leaving him with nowhere to go.

Maybe this is life.

Qin Ze sighed sadly, took a sip of the winter bamboo shoots and salty meat soup, and was immediately overwhelmed by the rich salty taste. Then he added a piece of steamed mutton. The steamed mutton had an intoxicating aroma and was fat. The tender mutton was full of flavor, so he ate half a plate of mutton with salted Duxian, which was about a catty, and then he took a sigh of relief and went to eat other dishes.

The sweet-skinned duck itself is an imperial meal, and Qin Ze has eaten it before, but Zhang Xiaobai's cooking is even more flavorful. The duck skin is sweet and crisp, and the marinated duck meat is slightly juicy. Aroma, rich meat and sweet and crisp duck skin, it tastes very layered, and the thin layer of fat between the skin and meat is the finishing touch, which neutralizes the taste of the two, slightly sticky, and the entrance is delicious Turned into juice.

The braised pork knuckle that surprised Qin Ze the most, this dish is Taibai’s favorite, and Qin Ze has no resistance. People who don’t eat pork knuckles feel disgusting, just like someone who doesn’t eat the corners of the water, but is able to eat it People regard it as a delicacy. Zhang Xiaobai specially boiled the sauce for this kind of dishes. The sauce itself is golden red and tastes fresh and sweet. Even plain rice is delicious. It is stewed with this sauce. The pork knuckle has absorbed the taste of the sauce, and the pork skin is permeated with a beautiful color from the inside to the outside. When it is fished out alone, it will even reflect the light under the light. When the bones are sliced ​​and served on a plate, even the tendons inside are golden red. , it's full of jelly in one bite, and for Qin Ze, it can be compared to the deliciousness of half a bear's paw.

It's a pity that since the last nosebleed, bear's paws, a great nourishing ingredient, haven't been on Qin Ze's table again.

Zhang Xiaobai is now the general of the guard and the head of the imperial catering. He does the job of two people and gets one person's salary, because Shen Yanwei usually doesn't live in the Hou's mansion, but lives in Shen's mansion with Cao Yu'e. There are no other people in the Hou's mansion except some servants , Zhang Xiaobai cooks for Qin Ze most of the time, and he also eats a little.

The Imperial Dining Room has completely ushered in the off-season of its business.

Although it is said that it is the off-season, it seems that some do not regard Emperor Yongde and his concubines as human beings, but in fact, it is like this. The concubines with a bit of face are all separate small kitchens. In the harem, although he is a fat man, which of the ladies does not treat him as a treasure, and when they go to any concubine, the food and drink are carefully prepared, and they will not eat the dishes in the imperial dining room for a long time, Qin Ze was originally a hateful eater, but when he didn't order, the chef in the imperial dining room said it was all weird.

It's a pity that it's useless to think about it. His Royal Highness is someone they can't get.

Qin Ze ate a full meal, full of warmth and thinking about Xiaobai, but unfortunately Xiaobai didn't notice at all, and went on duty as usual, and spring will begin in a few days, and even the wild cats in the palace began to call, wise and mighty His Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with cruel methods, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who frightened the civil and martial arts of the whole court... Still sleeping alone in the cold bed, dreaming of Xiaobai at night.

It can't go on like this!

Qin Ze sat up in shock from his dying illness. It was midnight. Qimeng had just woken up. He stretched out his hand to feel the loneliness. The cold bed and the sweetness in the dream suddenly formed a sharp contrast. Qin Ze's mentality suddenly collapsed. Anger rose from his heart, and evil grew out of his guts. He called the Chief of the Imperial Army, and looked at him with a look of terror that he was about to launch a coup. The Chief of the Imperial Army knelt on the ground and was covered in sweat. The devil whispered: "Go and declare General Shanglin into the palace, and ask him to sleep in bed!"

Chief of the Forbidden Army:? ?

Damn, I brought all the soldier symbols just to hear you say this?

Even though he had slandered a hundred times in his heart, the chief of the imperial army had no choice but to knock on the gate of the Zhengyang Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, his face was also very stiff, and his tone was very dignified. .”

Zhang Xiaobai also thought of something for a moment, and he nodded solemnly. Although he knew that such a day would come, he still didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

Qin Zexuan's idea was impromptu. After the Chief of the Imperial Army left, he himself calmed down, and immediately wanted to send someone to chase the Chief of the Imperial Army back, but before he was dispatched, all the people there had already entered the palace. The sweaty man became Qin Ze. His face was heavy. He looked at the kneeling commander of the imperial army and his beloved Xiao Bai. It seemed that he could die for him immediately, and the palace servants in the palace also looked trembling. Under such an atmosphere, Qin Ze found it difficult to say that he wanted to ask someone to come to serve him.

So going to bed became a matter of business. For the sake of strictness, Qin Ze decided to do something impromptu. He brought the imperial army to the door and grabbed Emperor Yongde from the bed of his concubine, and asked him to sign the Zen Edict.

Emperor Yongde heaved a sigh of relief. He had been waiting for this day. Seeing that his son had no intention of killing him, he immediately felt relieved. After the edict was signed, a ceremony would be held again, and he could become the Supreme Emperor.

To be honest, the process of usurping the throne was quite perfunctory, and the officials didn't respond much the next day. The entrance exam was approaching, and I couldn't keep my official position. Who cares if His Royal Highness changed his title? Qin Ze was not in a hurry to become emperor before, so it was strange to raise Emperor Yongde there as a display.

The next day, Qin Ze sat on the dragon chair to accept the audience of civil and military officials. His face was very indifferent. He didn't look like he had become an emperor, but rather like the officials under him owed him money. No one dared to ask more questions. The only one who knew The truth is only the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army who seems to be insignificant but sees through everything.

Chief of the Forbidden Army: The world is not worth it.

A coup was launched quite suddenly last night. As the only hero with the merits of a dragon, Zhang Xiaobai...has not received much attention. In fact, no one cares whether Qin Ze usurps the throne. It seems that there is a difference between being a prince and being an emperor It's like a difference, when someone doesn't notice that His Royal Highness the prince will slip up and call himself "Zhen" from time to time.

On the contrary, after returning to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Zhang Xiaobai got the treatment he deserved at Meng Jue's place. The old general Meng, who had been derailed from the court for a long time, was proclaimed in the early morning court today since he learned that the prince had launched a coup and forced Emperor Yongde to abdicate. Emperor, since the person who led the soldiers into the palace last night was still his grandson, he has been worrying all the time. When Zhang Xiaobai came down to court, he hurriedly sent someone to the Zhengyang Hou's mansion to ask him about his situation last night.

Looking at his grandfather with a serious face, Zhang Xiaobai recalled it for a while, and said hesitantly, "It just... went smoothly."
