Shangshi female official

Chapter 29 Noodle Apple 1
Qiu Shangshi picked up a piece and took a closer look, the crystal was clean and clear, the meat inside was divided into three layers, the top layer was orange and white shrimp, the middle layer was yellow and white chicken, and the bottom layer was grayish yellow skin.

"This is a bit different from the usual practice. You..."

Qiu Shangshi raised his eyes and saw Wang Yifu, the crystal on the chopsticks was not securely held, and fell directly onto the table.

Eunuch Pei turned his face away, not knowing why Mr. Shang Shi lost his composure, he just acted like he didn't see it, to show him some dignity.

On the side, Nanny Chen seemed to have expected this kind of thing to happen a long time ago, and said indifferently: "My lord, I have a good-looking family, but I can't stand you staring at me like this. Don't scare him."

Qiu Shangshi blinked, came back to his senses, slowly put down his chopsticks, and responded: "She looks a bit coquettish, I'm afraid she is not suitable for entering the palace."

flirtatious?Wang Yifu introspected, but no one had ever used these two words to describe her appearance. Perhaps Xu Xinyan's appearance could be a little bit coquettish. She thought she was not as good-looking as Shen Ci, so where did the coquettishness come from?
Nanny Chen said with a half-smile, "I think she looks very suitable for entering the palace."

On the side, Eunuch Pei heard two people talking with guns and sticks, one was the former female official of Shangshi, and the other was the current female official of Shangshi. They couldn't afford to offend either, so they started arguing and quickly changed the subject.

"It's not a draft. It's not so important to look good, but the craftsmanship is more important. Let's try the craftsmanship first."

The three examiners picked up the crystal and ate it three times, dipped it in the juice, and put it into their mouths to taste carefully. The juice is salty, fresh, sour and spicy. The fresh and tender chicken tastes a bit new.

Crystallized in the mouth is a broth with a complex aroma, and the aroma of onion, ginger, and pepper is also there.

This dish is delicious, with a few more textures than ordinary crystal elbows, and the juice is just right.

"It's not bad. Although the practice of crystal elbows is a common thing in the palace, it is quite rare to be able to make something new out of the common."

Eunuch Pei praised so much, Wang Yifu smiled and bowed her head, and responded, "Thank you, Eunuch."

After eating this dish, Mother Chen also praised: "You have always been a smart person, and you can find unexpected angles to resolve any situation you face. I don't know how you came up with this dish of three crystal dishes. The dishes are the same, it’s really amazing.”

"Thank you mama."

Speaking of novelty and surprise, she really has to thank the person who stole her elbow. If he hadn't stolen the elbow, maybe she could only hand over a plate of mediocre crystal elbows, and might not be recognized.

After Wang Yifu finished this dish, the cold appetizers were served, followed by soup.

Soups include stewed lion's head, gold and silver scallop soup, five dragon soup, five fresh mushroom soup, pickled Du Xian, etc., as well as Qiu Nanxue's can of bitter Buddha Jumping Wall.

The hot soup was served one after another, and the salty and fresh taste wafted straight into the noses of the girls, so fresh that they were about to faint.You can smell it, but you can only see it, but you can't eat it. This is the most painful thing in the world.

When he came to Qiu Nanxue, Lord Shangshi saw her shrinking, the corners of her mouth drooping, she pouted slightly, feeling aggrieved, and already knew something was wrong in her heart.

The three cups of Buddha jumping over the wall are brought up, and when you open it, the golden soup is half filled, and a small bag is built in the center with abalone, sea cucumber, scallops, shark's fin, and tendon nest.

The three examiners took a sip of the soup and frowned as soon as they entered.

Nanny Chen picked up the soup with a spoon. The color of the golden soup was positive and thick enough to hang the spoon. She couldn't help asking: "The soup is so beautiful, rich enough, and thick enough, why does it have a strange smell? It tastes sweet, but it tastes a bit bitter when it comes back.”

Qiu Nanxue faltered for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time. When she knew that Buddha Jumped the Wall was suffering, she used sugar to adjust it, but after adjusting it, it became more and more chaotic, and finally it became a strange smell.

"I'm going to rinse my mouth."

After drinking Qiu Nanxue's soup, Qiu Shangshi unexpectedly left the table, and when he was leaving, he asked Grandma Xia to take her to the place where she washed her mouth.

Everyone guessed whether she was angry, because the dishes cooked by her family were the worst, which made her lose face.

Wang Yifu thought that Qiu Shangshi would definitely find a way for her niece, but she didn't know whether she would put down her face and beg Eunuch Pei, or force her to appoint Qiu Nanxue into the palace.Leaving now, it's time to think of a way.

Not long after, Qiu Shangshi came back and only said two words, "Continue."

When the soup was served one by one later, Qiu Shangshi didn't comment on it. Eunuch Pei would praise the good ones, and Nanny Chen would point out the bad ones.

The girls who made the soup started preparing the soup as early as yesterday afternoon. All the soup has been boiled for at least half a night. It takes a long time to simmer for a long time to force out the umami of the ingredients, but it can’t be too long, some ingredients are too long If it is too rotten, it will not taste good in the mouth.

Wang Yifu watched the food prepared by these girls all night since yesterday, each of them exerted [-] points of effort, it was hard not to eat it.

When it comes to hot dishes, there are even more people cooking, braised grilled lamb chops, golden fish balls, golden needle button meat, canned beef stew, cherry meat, celery shrimp balls, chicken oil wax gourd, etc., and of course Shen Ci’s glazed chicken .

Some of these dishes have been mentioned by Nanny Chen, and some are variants of what has been said. The dishes are exquisite in appearance, but the workmanship is complicated. It takes a long time to prepare for it. dishes.

Looking at it carefully, Wang Yifu admired the three examiners. When the hot soup was served just now, the bursts of salty aroma made her swallow her mouth, but the three of them could keep calm, just tasted the soup, and occasionally picked one. Eat the ingredients and put them down after taking a bite.

At this time, when these hot dishes came out, I took a sip calmly. Is it true that I cook such labor-intensive dishes every day?Are you used to it?

During the assessment on weekdays, Nanny Zhou, Nanny Feng, Nanny Xia, and even Nanny Chen would occasionally be amazed. Today dozens of dishes passed, and only Eunuch Pei smiled and praised that it was not bad.

Delicious, well done, these words never appeared in the mouth of the examiner.

At this time Shen Ci's glazed chicken was on, Wang Yifu stood on tiptoe, stretched her head to see the expressions of the three examiners.

Nanny Chen has eaten this chicken twice. This time she saw the new dipping material, kumquat juice, and ate it directly with the new dipping material. After eating it, she slowly enjoyed it with her eyes closed, and laughed while chewing.

"With such an effort, probably not many people in Shangshi Bureau can do it."

When Chen Momo talked about her most proud student, she was full of pride. She never concealed her admiration for Shen Ci, and she would never derogate Shen Ci for the sake of self-effacing in front of outsiders.

Qiu Shangshi was still chewing carefully, eating the original taste, then picked up his chopsticks and dipped a piece of dry ingredients to taste, and then dipped in kumquat juice and took a sip, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
