After Su Lele finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and let him digest it himself. After instructing the worker guarding the gate to inform the steward of the matter, she walked to the carriage next to her.
The old man cried with joy: "Girl, thank you so much for giving my grandson this opportunity."
At this time, Wei Yijin was still thinking about that sentence: As long as I don't care, no one can hurt me.
Later, when he found out that the woman who gave him a chance, was kind-hearted, and came to save him like a fairy, was actually the beloved princess, he admired her even more.
Su Lele unknowingly gained another die-hard fan.
…………
When we returned to the palace, it was already Youshi. Su Lele ran towards the large dining room with rapid strides.
"Chef He, are the fish and necessary ingredients ready?"
"Princess, everything is ready." After Chef He finished speaking, he pointed to the ingredients on the table.
Su Lele quickly marinated the four-pound grass carp with salt, sugar, wine, sauce, and five-spice powder, and then put it into the oven to bake for about a quarter of an hour.
During this interval, she put fresh mushrooms, soaked fungus, tofu, lotus root slices, cucumber sticks and other side dishes on a large iron plate.
Heat the pan and pour oil, add garlic, ginger, scallions and other seasonings and stir-fry in the pan, then add a little spicy pot base and stir-fry for a while, then pour in water and salt and bring to a boil.
Place the browned fish into a large iron plate filled with side dishes, and then pour the fried sauce into the large plate.
The iron plate will be heated on a small charcoal stove, and it will be ready to eat.
"Princess, the prince is back."
"Okay, you guys move this plate of grilled fish and charcoal stove to the courtyard of Yijing Pavilion."
After finishing speaking, Su Lele walked quickly into the courtyard while humming a song.
Leng Yichen didn't expect that fish could be eaten like this.
It's a good way to cook and eat it on a charcoal stove, especially in winter, so you don't have to worry about the fish getting cold.
"Well, my lord, try this tender and juicy fish, but be careful of the fish bones."
Leng Yichen looks elegant when eating: "The fish meat is not fishy at all, and the fish skin is crispy and delicious."
After hearing this compliment, Su Lele looked at him with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat more. I didn't cook it too spicy. You won't be afraid of being spicy after eating it for a long time."
"Well, this side dish has absorbed the soup and is very tasty."
The aroma of grilled fish wafted everywhere in the courtyard. Leng Feng and Leng Lei, who were on duty, were already hungry and swallowed hard.
Lengfeng thought to himself: He shouldn't have chosen to be on duty on the day when the princess was cooking. It was really bad. Next time, be more alert and ask Lengyu and the others to take over.
What he didn't know was that Leng Lei, who was standing next to him and swallowed hard, also had the same idea.
After the meal, Su Lele began to walk in the courtyard to eat. She was really full.
The maid Qiu Yu beside her whispered in her ear:
"Princess, I just heard an interesting story, do you want to hear it?"
"Since you said it was an interesting story, let's tell it and listen to it."
"There are rumors in the capital that Yun Zhishu, the daughter of Lord Shangshu, has been rejected for courtship. The object of her courtship is Taishi's son."
Su Lele was very surprised: "Hasn't she always loved the prince? She fell in love with him so quickly."
"Many people saw her running out of Yipinju Restaurant in tears a few days ago. The person following behind her was the son of Lord Taishi. I heard people said that Miss Yun was crying so hard."
These past few days have been like years for Yun Zhishu, which is really miserable. First she was warned by the prince, then she was frightened by the mice, and now she was ridiculed that her courtship was rejected.
The next day, Su Lele planned to go to the dining room to look at the ingredients delivered and look for inspiration. There are not many types of snacks now, and she plans to develop more.
Chef He: "You guys cut this half cow into several large pieces, and then put it in the icehouse to refrigerate."
Su Lele shouted while running: "No need to move it yet, let me take a look."
"Chef He, you went there to get this half cow. I rarely see anyone selling beef at the market. Is it because farmers are not allowed to kill cows for sale?"
"You can sell it with a license from the government, but farmers' cattle are basically used for plowing. These half cattle were sent from Zhuangzi over there in Pingzhou Fucheng, where there is a cattle breeding, Sheep farm.”
"The beef and mutton eaten at Yipin Ju Restaurant are all supplied from the Zhuangzi over there."
It seems that the prince's business is quite big, and he can produce and sell it himself. It seems that she also wants to learn so that she is not afraid of the supply chain being interrupted.
Su Lele pointed to a part of the cow and said, "Chef He, cut off this large piece of beef tendon."
Seeing such fresh beef tendon meat, she was suddenly inspired to develop a new product: shredded beef jerky.
Then she pointed to the soft piece of meat with tendons, meat, and oil on the side, and said, "Also, cut off the piece of meat from the belly of the beef near the ribs. I will use it later." , and moved them to the small dining room over at Yanyu Pavilion."
This piece of meat with tendons, meat, and fat is called beef brisket.
I'll stew it later and make beef brisket noodles for dinner tonight.
"OK."
After Chef He responded, he immediately took a knife and quickly and accurately cut off the pieces of meat in those parts.
Su Lele's eyes widened.
She laughed and said, "Chef He has good knife skills!"
"The princess laughed. My father used to be a butcher, and I learned from him."
Su Lele showed him the size of the beef strips while talking: "Since your knife skills are so good, you can cut this large piece of beef tendon into strips and take it to Yanyu Pavilion."
"Okay, Princess."
After returning to Yanyu Pavilion, Su Lele quickly walked to the room and changed into darker clothes. Then moved to the small dining room.
He took a look at the seasonings in the dining room and asked the waiter to go out and buy the seasonings he still needed.
Half an hour later, the ingredients and seasonings were all ready, and Su Lele started making shredded beef jerky.
Put beef strips into a large wooden plate, add soy sauce, rice wine, cumin powder, chili powder, pepper powder, Sichuan pepper powder, salt, and sugar. Stir evenly and seal for two hours to make it more delicious.
While the beef strips were marinating, she started making brisket stew.
First, cut the beef brisket into large pieces of about 3 cm, then put the beef brisket pieces into a pot, add water, add ginger slices and wine, bring to a boil and blanch.
Then pour a little oil into a clean earthen pot, add cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, ginger slices, and a few dried chili peppers to stir-fry until fragrant, then add beef brisket cubes and stir-fry, and finally add water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, A little rice wine, start to boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for an hour.
After the beef brisket is stewed, the moment you open the lid of the pot, the aroma fills the room. Su Lele couldn't wait any longer and immediately tasted a piece of stewed beef brisket that was moderately tender.
Sure enough, it still tastes the same as before, the meat is fresh and tender, the brisket is slightly spicy, the texture is soft, and it tastes a little chewy, which is delicious.
