The concubine teases the evil emperor: the proud wife of the bloodthirsty queen

Chapter 457 Fast Banquet [5]

Since it is a whole vegetarian feast, the menu for tomorrow night will naturally be mainly vegetarian, and there will be no trace of meat.

In order to make the vegetarian food for tomorrow night delicious without the meaty taste of the normal dishes, all the ingredients for the whole vegetarian banquet, including the cooking area, are separated from a separate kitchen.

"Miss Feng, there are still some foods that will be delivered to the palace tomorrow. Things like vegetables and tofu are the freshest in the market." So most of the ingredients have not been brought into the palace yet.

Huo Wu listened to the report of the supervisor in charge of the whole fast banquet, while walking around, occasionally picking out a few pieces of ginger, or smelling the sauce.

"The whole vegetarian feast is about lightness, the taste should not be too strong, and the taste should not be too strong. It is better not to put this kind of thing." Huo Wu pointed.

The supervisor hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Miss Feng doesn't know that this sauce is used to make mapo tofu. It is because all dishes are light in taste, so it is specially prepared for those who have a strong taste. This is what the Empress Dowager means." After speaking, he quickly lowered his head and made a respectful statement.

Because he was afraid that saying this sentence would give the other party a feeling of being oppressed by the Queen Mother, so when he said this, his attitude was even more respectful.

"I see." Huo Wu nodded and asked again, "Do you have the same dishes every year?"

"Yes." The supervisor replied softly, "Vegetables are blanched first and then served with salt water, and the tofu is made of mapo tofu. Since there is no oil, we can only pay more attention to the seasoning." Of course , besides these two, there are many more materials, the supervisor walked all the way forward, explaining to Huo Wu what he saw and thought of one by one.

These are all common practices.

The oil in this era is all fat from pork. It is regarded as meat food, so oil cannot be used. Without oil, the most important lubricant, it is indeed difficult to use no matter how great the skill is.

Could it be that at the end, the supervisor showed a look of embarrassment, and said rather aggrieved, "Actually, in front of the Queen Mother, everyone dares to dislike vegetarian food, but they are all talking behind their backs, let's take it now , Many adults must have started to complain at home."

When saying this sentence, the supervisor still glanced at Song Huwei apprehensively, and whispered in Huo Wu's ear.

Huo Wu nodded understandingly, "If it were me, I would definitely be happy without meat, without the taste of meat, and I wouldn't feel full after three meals."

The supervisor nodded sharply, as if he had met someone close to him, "Miss Feng is so young, she has such insights, I really admire this servant."

By the way, he slapped a few more words of flattery, but Huo Wu's reaction was extremely cold, not at all pleasant. The supervisor touched his nose boredly, and there was a bunch of long compliments behind him, so there was no need to say anything.

After Huo Wu went around for a while, she asked the supervisor to hand over the menu. She flipped through it, "It looks quite rich." There are a lot of dishes, and they are all given elegant names.

From such a glance, everyone would think that this whole fast feast must be very delicious.

The supervisor smiled wryly, "We can only spend more time on these bells and whistles, as well as those decorations, try to make it pleasing for everyone to see."

"I said, aren't all the chefs in the palace top-notch, why do you still look like you're about to cry, and distrust them so much? Have you ever tasted it?" Huo Wu raised her eyebrows, squinting at the supervisor.
