Invite the princess to enjoy the meal

Chapter 48 Steamed fish in oil, thanks to the upstart

Last night's fragrant pot chicken wings and this morning's steamed buns, I thought it was a bit boring, so An Qingxi picked up a fish and decided to make steamed fish.

The fish was still alive and kicking, so she knocked it out with the flat of the knife and started killing it.

She skillfully cleans the scales of the fish and cuts off the spine to prevent the appearance of the fish from being deformed when the bones shrink, which is actually for the sake of beauty.

After the whole fish was cleaned, she smeared a little vinegar on both sides of the belly of the fish to remove the fishy smell, then stuffed finely shredded ginger into the fish, placed it on a plate, placed it directly in a steamer, and added firewood to the fire.

"Miss, how long will it take?" Little Shanzha asked, squatting beside him while adding firewood, having never seen fish cooking before.

"Let's boil the water for about a quarter of an hour. If it's too early, it won't be cooked through. If it's later, the meat will become stale."

While preparing the hot oil to be used later, An Qingxi asked, "Have you ever heard a poem called "Nian Nujiao*Chibi Nostalgia"?"

Everyone, including Little Hawthorn, shook their heads unanimously.

The fish was already in the pot, and she was heating up the oil with her hands. First, she poured in two tablespoons of sesame oil and a little salt, and was about to scoop it up. Seeing everyone looking at her eagerly, she couldn't help but smiled while moving, "Then I have a version of steamed fish here. Listen up."

"The fish is fainted, the inside is empty, and there is nothing in the stomach. Wipe the sides with vinegar, humanely, to remove the fishy smell. Pierce the thin ginger, put the whole fish on a plate, and steam for a while. Drizzle oil with spring onion , the face is full of fragrance in an instant."

After the words fell, the hot oil was poured on the fish covered with scallion and ginger slices, and the sound of "Zi Zi -" was heard, and the aroma was choked out. The color was green and very beautiful.

"Good poetry! Good fragrance!"

None of the people present had ever been to a private school or learned poetry, but this catchy food poem is very easy to understand, and paired with this delicious steamed fish in oil, it is simply full of imagery.

Everyone's admiration for An Qingxi rose to a new level in an instant.

Facing everyone's shining eyes, An Qingxi didn't feel anything. She just opened her mouth to write a food poem like this, "Send this along with Your Highness's meal."

"Yes."

For lunch, Nalanyan didn't have any sense of expectation, after all, they all tasted the same. The previous request was just to add some fun to the kitchen and save them from having to use their brains all the time.

However, when the steamed fish was put on the table, Nalanyan was immediately attracted, not only because of the appetizing appearance, but also because of the enticing aroma.

He ordered someone to put the dish closer, and used chopsticks to push away the scallion and ginger shreds on it, poked the fish skin, and put a piece of snow-white fish meat into his mouth. The fresh and tender fish meat was wrapped in oil and melted in his mouth. , with a bit of sweet and salty in the deliciousness, very light, but it makes people bite after bite, can't put it down.

Before he knew it, he had already eaten a large bowl of rice with this dish, and the waiters were relieved to see that the master had such a good appetite and was no longer picky about food.

After he was full of water and food, Nalanyan put the bowl aside, called the kitchen steward who was waiting outside, pointed to the fish, and said in a firm tone, "You guys didn't cook this dish, did you?"

The kitchen steward smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Your Highness has good eyesight, Miss Xiaoxi made it herself."

He accentuated the words with his own hands, Your Highness, look, how caring and considerate the Seventh Concubine will be to you in the future!
These words really pleased Nalanyan, he waved his hand, "Call her over, I will reward you."

When An Qingxi, who had just finished eating and was about to go back to catch up on sleep, heard the summons, she rolled her eyes, what's wrong with this person looking for someone as soon as he finished eating?
If I knew she would be fine!
