Chapter Eleven Elections
There are naturally all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen of the royal palace. Before, because he was too poor and could not afford to buy the best ingredients, Su Yu almost forgot that he used to be the chef of a restaurant rather than the owner of a night market stall. Now facing the dazzling array of seafood, the long-lost working state has come back.
Put the scallops as big as a palm, wash them and pry them open them, put them in vermicelli, garlic and other ingredients, as well as seafood soy sauce prepared by Su Yu, and finally add sesame oil to the center and steam them in the pot. Then chop the shrimps, dip the shrimp heads into the egg white, and stir-fry them until they are browned; boil the shrimp body in white water, add the rice wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, remove the shrimp thread, separate the golden shrimp head and the white shrimp meat, and arrange them into Tai Chi shape. The two small dishes contain salt and soy sauce, serve as the fish eyes of Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish.
The first two dishes recorded in Suji recipe are made.
An Hongjun put his fat face on the table and stared at the little cat, "The two-month deadline is coming soon, I think you should live in the palace."
An Hongche, who was licking his paws, paused, glanced at his younger brother, and continued to lick his paws.
"An Hongzhuo wants to hook up with the old man, but the old man doesn't buy his account," An Hongzhuo leaned closer, "Uncle asked you to go back quickly. It is rumored in the court that you will die soon. If you don't go back, these people will break my threshold."
Impatiently used my hind paws to clean my ears. An Hongche shook his tail and signaled his brother to shut up. He would be responsible when he would go back.
"You can't bear to part with that fish seller, right?" An Hongxu lowered his voice and looked at Su Yu who was walking here with a plate.
Long-lasting! An Hongche couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave his younger brother a claw, and his ears finally became clear.
King Zhao covered his scratched nose and looked at the plate in Su Yu's hand curiously.
The white jade shells are considered ordinary dishes in the royal family, but the one made by Su Yu seems to be a little different. The aroma of garlic explodes in the hot oil and slowly overflows. When you get closer, you can even smell the umami smell of shell meat.
Experts can judge the grade of dishes by just a smell. An Hongjun is naturally an expert. Before Su Yu could introduce him, he had already picked up his chopsticks.
"Um..." After siping, An Hongxu's eyes were immediately covered in tears... they were burned.
The kitten squatting on the table was too lazy to pay attention to his stupid brother, so he walked straight to the plate of Tai Chi Yin-Yang shrimp and stretched out his claws to hook the white and tender shrimp meat.
Tai Chi Yin-Yang shrimp, because it is simple to make and easy to obtain, ordinary people can eat it, but An Hongche knows that the essence of this dish lies in the soy sauce that Su Yu himself cooks.
King Zhao learned his lesson this time, and first ate the shrimp meat that was not too hot, pick up the white shrimp body, remove the shell, and dip it in the first bite. Naturally, he should respect his brother for the first bite.
Su Yu looked at King Zhao in surprise and handed the shrimp meat covered with sauce to his cat. Only then did he believe that the prince was indeed very familiar with the cat.
As each person and a cat were eaten, Su Yu began to explain his plan for the restaurant, and made a name in the capital in advance, trained apprentices, and he configured the seasonings himself, and could open a semicolon within three to five years. The decoration style, waiter clothing, etc. must be exactly the same, similar to the business model of Maiji in later generations. As long as the funds are sufficient, they will be able to open all over the country.
After making a statement passionate statement, Su Yu turned around and saw a person and a cat eating without raising his head, and he didn't hear what he was saying.
Su Yu: "…"
After His Highness Zhao finished eating the last scallop, he coughed and said, "Okay, that's it."
"Ah?" Su Yu was stunned. What does it mean to be like this?
An Hongxue called a guest to ask him to be responsible for Su Yu Restaurant. The two shops were bought by the Zhaowang Mansion and were responsible for the early decoration and purchasing. Even the craftsmen and technicians made a fortune. In short, Su Yu just waited at home and the restaurant was installed and cooked and opened directly. As for the money earned, it was divided into 30% and 30% of the money. Su Yusan and 30% of the Zhaowang Qi.
Su Yu naturally had no objection to the sharing of this. In fact, the initial purpose was to make King Zhao spend half of the money and to take the tiger skin from the royal palace to make a backstage. He never expected such a good thing to happen.
After signing and writing the deed, An Hongjun did not make any other requests, but only asked Su Yu to leave the bottle of soy sauce and stuff the green jade pieces to him again.
Until he returned to Su's house, Su Yu was still a little floating in his walking. Why did he encounter this kind of good thing that a living Lei Feng fell from the sky? He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he silently tied a bright red scarf to King Zhao in his heart. Su Yu rubbed his face and took the cat to pay his respects to his mother.
"The election is coming, and I'm thinking of making some beautiful clothes for Ying'er." A woman's voice came from the room, and Su Yu stepped down and frowned.
"It's Aunt Wang from the master's house." Chuncao whispered to Su Yu.
Aunt Wang is the concubine of Su Yu's uncle Su Xiaozhang. She has a concubine named Su Ying, who is fifteen years old this year.
Although my uncle's concubine has different ages, she still has to avoid suspicion. Su Yu stood in the corridor and stopped walking in.
"Second brother!" A gentle voice sounded behind his back. Su Yu turned around and saw a little girl about eleven or twelve years old standing timidly outside three steps.
"Xiao Zhi, why are you here?" Su Yu couldn't help but smile. This was his concubine, and he was not born to the same aunt, but the same father.
"Mother calls me over, I..." Su Zhi glanced at the tightly covered door curtain and quietly pulled Su Yu's clothes. Aunt Wang would sarcastically every time she saw her. She didn't want to see her unless she had no choice, but she had to go to her mother's summons. She was different from Su Yu, and she was always respectful and afraid of her mother.
Su Yu sighed. This girl's biological mother was born in a bad family and suffered a lot of grievances in this family. Now she is becoming more and more timid.
With his hand reached out to hold his sister's hand, Su Yu asked Chuncao to go in and inform him, and walked in with him.
"Yeah, the second young master is back." Aunt Wang was originally smiling, but when she saw Su Yu quickly got up, her smile on her face also restrained a little.
Su Yu ignored her and bowed to his legitimate mother.
"What did the wife ask Zhi'er to do?" Su Ying didn't salute when she saw Su Yu, but just stared at the thin Su Zhi, her eyes full of disdain.
News came out of the palace that this year's election was held as scheduled. There were only two daughters in the family, and Su Zhi was not old enough. Su Xiaozhang spoke and said that their family was going to send Su Ying and had already reported to Zong Zhengsi. Originally, as a concubine's daughter, Su Ying had no status in this family. The talent show girl was the only chance for all noble families to become a phoenix. Once she was elected, she would be the highest-ranking family in this family. How could she not be proud of this?
"A few days ago, Yu'er respected me some silver, so he asked someone to give Zhi'er a pair of bracelets. Today I'm here." Zhao smiled, took out a small box and handed it to Su Zhi.
"Mother?" Su Zhi was startled and looked up at Su Yu. Su Yu didn't know which song was sung.
The box is a pair of thin silver bracelets, which are not much silver, but the carving is pretty good. The bracelet is slender and round, with a few butterflies spreading their wings and flying. They look very beautiful on Su Zhi's thin arms.
"Zhi'er should be popular with her daughter. This is a gift from her mother and your brother." Zhao said with a smile.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she immediately changed her face. She said these words to them and their daughters clearly. The family has been divided. The Zhao family and their daughter have to rely on Su Yu for food and drink. They can't get the Qiufeng even if they want to come to the scene.
"Madam, why do you have to do so great after so many years of love?" The smile on Aunt Wang's face became more and more stiff.
To go to the general election, you must have a decent dress. Your wife is so stingy. After searching through the cages, she couldn't find a decent dress. She came to the second wife with a shameless face to play Qiufeng. She was just so proud that she annoyed her. What should I do?
Zhao secretly helped Aunt Wang several times over the years, in order to check and balance the family, and now he has broken up. Zhao is too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. He sent the mother and daughter away in a few words. Then he asked about Su Yu's restaurant. When he learned that everything was going well, he nodded slightly and sneered: "Let's tell them to be proud for a few more days. You will take this to Zong Zhengsi tomorrow."
Su Yu took it and it was a famous post with his name and birth date written on it, "What is this?"
An Hongche, who was sleeping soundly in Su Yu's arms, was awakened by the sound from his chest. He lazily poked his head out and took a look, and suddenly woke up cleverly.
"Your uncle must not want you to go to the general election. How could I let him do it?" Zhao's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Wait, mother, what election, I'll go?" Su Yu was completely confused. Didn't they discuss the election of the emperor's draft girl just now? What does it have to do with him as a man? Looking at Zhao's and Su Zhi's natural expressions, Su Yu had a bad premonition.
"You will naturally have to go no matter whether you choose a concubine in the royal family." Zhao looked at him for no reason.
