Chapter 432 Spring Plate Gourd Chicken (7)

This question confused Lin Fei.

Master Xing opposite was confused that Lin Fei would ask this question.

"Lin Shaoqing," Master Xing looked at Lin Fei and said what he believed to be the truth in his heart, "If this matter is found out, won't we lose our lives?"

Lin Fei looked at Master Xing and frowned.

Master Xing twitched the corners of his lips and said: "Emperor Jing was not upright, and the former emperor chosen by Emperor Jing was also not upright. The former emperor was not upright, and the current majesty is also upright. Even if the current majesty is a saint, Lin Shaoqing thought he would want this matter to be revealed. Turn it out?"

This matter itself is a shady matter, and everyone involved in this shady matter is also shady.

"My mother has been avoiding the government all her life. Even if she was secretly accused of embezzling family property by those cannibal relatives, she did not dare to go to court because the matter was not visible to the public." When Master Xing said this, he raised his eyes and looked out the window. Falling out of the window into the courtyard illuminated by the sun, he murmured, "Our existence is invisible to the government."

Once the past events of sixty years ago are brought up again, it will be their death.

"Xing has not been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but he has also seen what Lin Shaoqing has done. I know that although Lin Shaoqing was born in the Hou family, you are a good official who is considerate of ordinary people." Master Xing said this and sneered. He made a sound and said, "When people encounter injustice and bullying, they can seek justice from a good official like Lin Shaoqing, but we don't even have such rights."

"Although we don't have such rights, at least we are still alive." Master Xing paused and laughed at himself, "If this matter is found out, even our lives will become a luxury. I hope they will uncover the old stories of Xianyang."

Therefore, even though he is a regular person, this is what he wants to see.

In response, Lin Fei only glanced at him and asked: "Master Xing, haven't you ever thought that hiding like you are now is the most unsafe?"

It is because no one knows their existence, it is easiest to deal with them. As long as the living people are dealt with and become dead, the secret will become a secret forever.

"This matter is very involved. As you said, Your Majesty is not a saint and does not want this matter to be exposed. But if it is exposed by mistake, he cannot do anything to you at will." At this point, Lin Fei lowered his eyes and thought of Lao Yuan who was implicated for no reason and died in Xianyang. He sighed and said quietly, "No emperor can turn a blind eye to such doubts. He must prove it himself. So. Once you come here, you can’t even die.”

It has to be said that different people have different views on the same thing.

Lin Fei is not a person who likes to hide in the shadows all his life, and his coping methods are different from those of Master Xing and others.

When Master Xing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his expression was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, as if he was also thinking about what Lin Fei said.

It had to be said that although Lin Fei's words were something he had never thought of before, it was not necessarily impossible.

Of course, now that the matter is over, it's too late to say anything.

…

Lin Fei ate a spring pancake for nearly half an hour, but Wen Mingtang took his time and baked the crust of the pancake.

This was not because Wen Mingtang was deliberately dilly-dallying, but because Zhao Sishan had put in so much effort in making the gourd chicken.

After boiling, adding ingredients and steaming, the last step is to put it in the pan and fry it.

Zhao Sishan took out the delicious gourd chicken from the steamer, and then brushed a thin layer of batter on the steamed chicken. The batter is yellow, but it does not use eggs to mix it into this color like Wen Mingtang usually does. Instead, it uses corn starch and brewed gardenia water to create such a golden color.

The same thing, different cooks have different techniques and habits.

While Wen Mingtang was frying pancakes, he was distracted by the last step of Zhao Sishan making the gourd chicken - deep-frying.

The oil is vegetable rapeseed oil. After it is cooked, put the chicken with a thin layer of batter into the oil pan. When frying, the chicken is placed in the grate and lowered into the pan with the grate. , it is also convenient to take out the chicken at any time and control the heat.

Seeing that the surface of the oil was calm at first, but there were small bubbles of oil underneath. The moment it entered the oil pan under the fence, it surged up like waves. Wen Mingtang subconsciously curled up the corners of his lips, and followed the oil pan. What's surging inside is the aroma that is unique to Nianzi.

Wen Mingtang no longer focused on Zhao Sishan's fried gourd chicken, but instead turned his attention to the utensils Zhao Sishan had prepared for the gourd chicken.

This is a set of specially made teapots and teacups, but they are not used to hold tea, but to hold the chicken soup filtered out from the initial boiling of the chicken. Drinking the chicken soup before eating the gourd chicken is also regarded as "the original soup is transformed into the original". "Eat", the empty banana leaf pottery plate next to the tea set containing chicken soup is for the fried gourd chicken, and next to the banana leaf plate is the dipping sauce of ground Sichuan peppercorns and salt.

Although it was just one dish, the pomp and circumstance when it was served on the food table was no less impressive than the large spring plate that Wen Mingtang had prepared with a lot of vegetables and meat, spread out like a fan.

Of course, looking at such an exquisite pomp, you can tell that this dish was made by Zhao Sishan in the palace, and it is considered one of her specialties.

Looking at the spring plate and gourd chicken standing almost in half on the food table, Wen Mingtang suddenly felt a little interesting and wanted to laugh.

This situation... really has the flavor of two cooks competing against each other.

Folding the last pancake in his hand into a fan shape for easy access, Wen Mingtang watched Zhao Sishan take out the fried gourd chicken and put it on the banana leaf plate. Then he got up and called Tangyuan and A Bing to have lunch.

The glutinous rice dumplings and A Bing in that box also made a round lantern while they were making lunch. They also glued two erect ears on the lantern and drew the mouth with a pen. One was not too big. The neat rabbit lantern is ready.

Although it is not comparable to the lanterns sold on the streets outside, because it is made by myself, I really can't put it down. I keep holding it in my hand and can't bear to put it down. It wasn't until Wen Mingtang came over to call her to have dinner with Ah Bing that she reluctantly put it down. Lantern in hand.

When they came over, they saw the spring plate and gourd chicken sharing the table equally as if they were competing in cooking. Ah Bing and Tangyuan were both stunned. They subconsciously looked up at Wen Mingtang and Zhao Sishan who were cooking. They were leaning side by side on the stove with a smile, and then they murmured: "I thought Master Wen and Zhao Sishan were going to quarrel over cooking!"

"Where are you talking?" Zhao Sishan took a sip of the green plum wine handed over by Wen Mingtang, sipping the sweet and sour fruit wine with a rich aroma of green plums, and said, "If two chefs stay together, they will definitely earn a fortune. If your cooking skills improve, the imperial kitchen in the palace will be reduced to a sieve!"

The fact is that food is not something you can earn a lot of money, but people have different tastes, and each has his or her own merits.

Well, the tastes of diners are also different, so her exquisite palace cuisine and Mingtang girl's constant innovation of novel dishes can just happen to support the restaurant.
