"right!"
Xu Fenglei nodded and said,
“Only when you eat it raw can you taste the true flavor of the ingredients.”
"Since the Zhou Dynasty, people have eaten this way, called fish dumplings, which are extremely delicious. In the past, there was an official named Zhang Han in the Western Jin Dynasty. He missed the water shield soup and seabass dumplings in his hometown when the autumn wind came, so he resigned and went home. ”
"The seabass meat that Zhang Han has been dreaming about is right in front of him."
As he spoke, he picked up the piece of fish and put it into the sauce jar.
"This fish meat, dipped in orange sauce and mustard sauce, each has its own flavor, and the taste is even more amazing."
Swish.
The thin slices of sashimi dipped in the sauce looked much better, but Zi Maid was still hesitant and did not dare to be the first person to eat sashimi.
"I'll try it."
Haogong Qianhe stepped forward to take out his chopsticks and said with a smile,
"Listen to Mr. Xu, this must be a delicious dish."
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he nodded happily and handed the fish dumplings to her.
"You won't be disappointed." He smiled brightly.
Hiromiya Chizuru held the fish fillet and sniffed it under her nose first. The smell of mustard sauce made her frown slightly.
But under Xu Fenglei's expectant gaze, she still bit the bullet, put it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"vomit--"
"Don't vomit, don't vomit! This is the taste of raw fish and dumplings, just get used to it!"
Seeing that Haogong Qianhe was about to vomit, Xu Fenglei hurriedly stopped him and said,
"Feel its original taste, the tenderness, the sweetness...which no other dish can bring you!"
"Chew, chew again...yes, yes..."
Under his guidance, Haomiya Qianhe endured the physical discomfort, and after chewing a few times, her brows really relaxed.
"Is it true that you are willing to come back?!"
She was surprised and said,
"This taste... so strange!"
As soon as the raw fish meat entered her mouth, the pungent smell of mustard sauce burst out, which made her a little unbearable, but as long as she touched it, she could feel the fresh and sweet taste bursting out of the fish.
The more you chew it, the more fresh and sweet it becomes, and when mixed with the mustard sauce, it has a unique taste!
"Ha... I'll just say it."
Xu Fenglei laughed and said,
"This raw fish and shrimp is so special. I wouldn't even let other people eat it, let alone teach it!"
"Here, have another slice, and now try the orange jam."
Uh-huh.
With one stroke of the knife, another piece of crystal clear seabass meat was removed, wrapped in a layer of orange sauce, and handed to Haomiya Qianhe.
"The flavors of orange marmalade and mustard sauce are different again."
He raised his eyebrows and said,
"Zaipinpin?"
"Thank you Mr. Xu." This time, Haogong Qianhe no longer hesitated and swallowed the second piece of raw fish in his mouth.
The next second, her eyes lit up.
"It's really different! This time it's a sweet and sour taste..."
Haogong Qianhe chewed carefully and couldn't help but admired,
“It enhances the sweetness of the fish meat itself. It’s so delicious! It’s so delicious!”
She boasted so much that Zi Maid, who was originally a little resistant, was ready to make a move.
"Sir, can I have a slice?"
She looked at Xu Fenglei eagerly.
"Haha... I asked you to taste it just now, but you didn't want to, but now you want to eat it?"
Xu Fenglei made fun of it, and then said,
"Okay, I'll get you a slice too. Do you want mustard sauce or orange sauce?"
"Tangerine sauce, mustard sauce is too strong..." Zi Mai licked her lips.
She watched as Xu Fenglei sliced a piece of fish, randomly wrapped it in orange sauce, and brought it to her.
"ah--"
Zi Maid opened her little mouth, looking like she was begging to be fed.
Xu Fenglei shook his head and laughed, pointed the fish fillet at her mouth, and threw it in.
Bang Chi Bang Chi.
This girl is extremely well-educated and doesn't even smack her mouth when she eats. After chewing twice, she glanced at Xu Fenglei with surprise on her face, and then chewed faster.
“Delicious! Fresh!”
She swallowed the fish belly with a happy expression and said,
"Sir, I want more!"
Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.
"You want to eat yourself! It's like you are the eldest lady and I am the maid."
He said angrily,
"Just cut it thinly and dip it in the sauce yourself. But the best meat is the belly of the fish, and other parts are slightly inferior."
Zi Maid stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and obediently stepped forward to fuck the blade fish by herself.
"Princess Qianzhe, do you want more? I'll give you a piece."
"Yes, thank you Miss Zi." Haogong Qianhe licked her lips with unfinished meaning, nodded in response, and then suddenly looked at Xu Fenglei and asked, "Mr. Xu, don't you try it?"
Xu Fenglei waved his hand.
"I want to eat because I want to...but it's a pity that my spleen is not good. Eating raw or cold food can easily lead to diarrhea, so I don't have this good taste."
He sighed softly,
"You guys eat it, I'll just smell it."
Zi Maid chuckled.
"Sir, you are so delicate. You couldn't get used to eating anything in Tiance Mansion, and you tortured the cooks so much."
She joked,
"But this is also a good thing. Your husband trained the chef, and now we have delicious food to eat."
Ouch.
As she spoke, she took another bite and threw a piece of fish meat wrapped in mustard sauce into her mouth, enjoying the stimulation in her mouth.
"It feels so good!"
When Haogong Qianhe heard this, his expression changed.
"Xu Gong, did you live in Tiance Mansion back then? Was it the former residence of His Majesty the current Emperor?"
She looked at Xu Fenglei with her big eyes and said curiously,
"Can you tell me about your glorious deeds in the past? Chizuru really wants to know about such a strange man like you."
Zi Maid just finished half of what she said, which naturally aroused the curiosity of Haogong Qianhe.
What on earth could enable such a young man to become the most powerful figure in the Tang Empire?
"Ouch."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said casually,
"A hero doesn't mention his bravery in the past. The past is like smoke and disappears. How can he have any glorious deeds? Even if there were, I have long forgotten about them."
"Live in the present, the present is the most important!"
Haomiya Qianhe pursed her lips.
"Your level is really high, Qianzhe admires you." She could only compliment.
"Princess Qianhe, the fish is ready again. I'll leave the two fattest pieces to you..."
The voice of the purple maid made Qianhe Haomiya return her attention to the food.
…
Just like that, the two girls dug out the belly of a fresh bass and exposed the fish bones.
"Princess Qianhe, is this the cooking skill you came here for today?"
Xu Fenglei pointed at the fish bones and said seriously,
"Don't worry, since I promised to teach you, I won't break my promise. Now I'll tell you the secret of making raw fish and dumplings!"
"It's not difficult to make this fish dumpling. The key points are that the fish should be fresh, the knife should not have a rusty smell, and the meat should be thinly sliced. These are the three main points."
"It's not difficult to remove the rusty smell. Before cutting the meat, you just need to wipe the blade with sweet orange and that's it."
After the fish was finished, he began to teach the key points.
"I see."
Haogong Qianhe suddenly realized and said seriously,
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice. Qianhe has taken note of it."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"The most important thing is the sauce, which is the essence of raw fish and can give it a variety of flavors."
He said again,
"I will ask someone to bring you a jar of mustard sauce and orange jam later. The preparation method is also very simple. I will ask the chef at home to write a copy for you, and you can just make it according to the instructions."
Haogong Qianhe was slightly moved.
This is so detailed!
It's like a master teaching his disciples!
"Mr. Xu, Qianhe just said it casually at that time. I didn't expect that you would actually give me everything without any selfish intentions..."
She said with an moved face,
"The top-notch cooking skills you passed on to Qianzuru are Chizuru's true master!"
"Master, please pay homage to Hao Gong Qianhe!"
He also gave her the bronze cong, a precious treasure of Emperor Qin, and taught her such powerful cooking skills...
Xu Fenglei is so kind to him!
At this moment, Haogong Qianzhe decided that the young man in front of him was a sharp-tongued man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart!
Despite his rude remarks before, once you get in touch with him, you will see that he is a warm-hearted and kind person!
Xu Fenglei waved his hand.
"Princess, you are serious."
He smiled lightly and said,
"It's just a little cooking skill, it's nothing. How dare you be the princess's master? I pretended I didn't hear this. Please stop shouting, princess."
When Haogong Qianhe heard this, he shook his head.
"No, you taught me the profound skills and you are my master!"
She bowed her hands again and said,
"Please must..."
"I told you, stop yelling!" Xu Fenglei's expression turned cold and his voice raised an octave.
Haogong Qianhe's heart trembled.
This domineering momentum reminded her of Xu Fenglei's arrogant attitude when she first met him!
"...Yes, Mr. Xu, Qianhe doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore."
In the end, she had to change her words and no longer dared to call her 'Master'.
Xu Fenglei's expression softened instantly, leaving Zi Maiden dumbfounded.
This is called turning the page faster than turning the page in a book!
"This is a good cooking skill, and I hope you take it home and promote it."
He smiled and said,
"After all, your Japanese country is an island country. It has a long coastline and fishing is very convenient."
"The taste of sea fish is much more delicious than that of river fish. You can try more in the future and spread the culture of 'eating fish and clams' in Japan. You can get delicious food without cooking. This is a good thing for the benefit of the people." ah!"
Haomiya Qianhe felt slightly uncomfortable when she heard the word "Japan". She still preferred the name "Japan" to this slightly derogatory name.
But after listening to Xu Fenglei's words, she felt excited and her mind had already flown back to her hometown!
Catch sea fish! Eat raw clams!
What a beautiful thing it would be to add such a delicious dish to the poor Japanese menu!
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice!"
Haogong Qianhe saluted and said confidently,
"Qianzhe must let every Japanese people taste this delicious food, and let all the tribesmen be conquered by it!"
"Qianhe will also faithfully record what Xu Gong taught me about cooking skills in the Japanese history books, so that all Japanese people will know that this delicious food was given to them by Xu Gong of the Tang Dynasty!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
"No need to," he muttered.
"What did you say, Mr. Xu? Qianhe didn't hear clearly." Haogong Qianhe said with some confusion.
"Uh...nothing."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Now that you have finished your studies, I won't keep Princess Qianhe any longer. After all, it's not good for you, a girl, to stay in a man's mansion for too long."
"Xiao Zi, please send Princess Qianhe out, remember to bring her some sauce."
This is an eviction order.
"yes."
Zi Maid responded and turned around to lead Haogong Qianhe away, but at this moment Haogong Qianhe looked anxious.
This serious matter hasn’t been done yet!
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, Qianhe is here to ask for something."
She hurriedly said,
"I would like to ask Mr. Xu to report to Your Majesty. Qianhe wants to pay homage to the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and pay homage to his holy face."
Xu Fenglei was stunned.
"You want to see His Majesty? That's no problem."
He wondered,
"Why don't you just go to Tang Jian? He is the minister of Honglu Temple. If you go to him, he will apply for you. As long as your majesty approves, you can enter the palace."
"This is the correct process. What are you looking for me for?"
Haogong Qianhe's face turned bitter.
"Normally, one should approach Tang Jianjun. Qianhe mentioned this matter on the first day he arrived in Chang'an, but Tang Jianjun said he could not guarantee success."
She said helplessly,
"There is no news until today... That's why Qianzhe thought of looking for you. After all, you are the one with truly powerful powers. As long as you help, Qianzhe will definitely be able to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
Xu Fenglei touched his chin.
The expectant look of Haomiya Chizuru fell into his eyes, making him sneer inwardly.
Let you, a foxy person, meet Li Shimin?
What if something goes wrong? Although our Majesty is very affectionate with the Queen, he is also a master who can't control the birds' love for sniffing wild flowers. If you are picked, then you, the foxy girl, will definitely climb up!
Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Although I have been a virgin for so many years, I don't know much about the relationship between men and women!
"Hey... I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle."
Xu Fenglei pretended to ponder for a moment, spread his hands and sighed,
"You know, our Majesty has many things to do every day. There are so many envoys who come to pay tribute every year. If he receives them one by one, he will die from exhaustion?"
"So, he won't see foreign envoys unless..."
Haogong Qianhe raised his eyebrows.
The meaning behind these words is that although it is difficult to deal with, there is still... a way?
"Unless what? Just say it!" she continued.
"Uh... Well, you have to win His Majesty's favor first, so that things can be done more easily."
Xu Fenglei rubbed his fingers and said happily,
"You can't just go there, right? You see, when you come to visit me, you bring such generous gifts as "Mourning Notes". When you go to see His Majesty, you must prepare some gifts, right?"
"I'll give you the gift. If your Majesty likes it and is happy, he might summon you, right?"
Chizuru Hiromiya; “@#￥%……*#￥@”
That "Sang Luan Tie" was originally intended for you to dedicate to the emperor!
Now that you have taken it yourself, where can I get another heavy treasure of the same level? !
At this moment, Haomiya Chizuru's mood collapsed.
"Hey...if you are not prepared, go back and think about it and make preparations."
Xu Fenglei waved to Zi Maid and said cheerfully,
"If you don't get ready right now, just stay in Chang'an for a while and come back to me when you're ready. We're not in a hurry, right?"
"When you finish it, come back to me and I will help you present it. It will be done properly by then!"
"Okay, Xiao Zi, let's send Princess Qianhe back..."
