Chapter 27 Xiangru Chicken Wings
The sky is getting darker and the sun is setting.
When the oil lamp was first lit, Ji Rongjin finally rushed back to Osmanthus Alley, passed through the house without entering, and went directly to the next door to see His Highness King Qi.
At the door of the study room, Aunt Han had just come out. She saw an angry look on her face. Ji Rongjin was carrying a food box, bending down slightly and nodding, "Auntie——"
"Is there any rule that makes His Highness wait?"
She lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.
"Ms. Ji..." Aunt Han wanted to teach her a few words, but Kangtai came out, smiled, turned aside, and invited her in.
Aunt Han choked and was so frightened that she quickly saluted and did not dare to do it again.
Ji Rongjin nodded in thanks, walked through the dimly lit corridor, and entered Zi Yantao's study with a food box in both hands. His eyes suddenly brightened.
"Your Highness..." Ji Rongjin was really worried when he came back so late and asked the big shot to wait, holding the food box in both hands like a pupil who made a mistake.
Yan Tao put down the book in his hand and looked over calmly.
She is wearing a simple gray linen skirt with a long light brown belt that is loosely tied at the diagonal edge, highlighting her small waist. There are no accessories on her body, not even earrings. The light from the wall lamp diffuses down from her head, forming a It was extremely unreal to see the slender and frail little lady covered in a shallow curtain of light.
Ji Rongjin was afraid that the food in the food box would become unpalatable after being aged for a long time, so he looked up at someone's gaze and said, "Your Highness, if you don't eat it, it won't taste good."
In order to be able to do more work, in the teahouse, she asked the chefs to prepare the ingredients first according to her requirements. The ones that should be pickled should be marinated first, and the sauces that should be prepared should be prepared first. She made the final side dishes and seasonings, put them in Place one pot into the steamer.
There are giant river prawns with vermicelli. Not only are the river prawns about the same size, but they are also freshly shelled and have a soft texture similar to prawns. Steaming such shrimps on top of vermicelli will give them a better texture. Steam them and add the prepared sauce. Then sprinkle with chopped green onion and red pepper, pour it with boiling oil, and the color and flavor will come out.
In order to ensure the color, the last step of boiling oil has not been added yet. I am going to take it to the kitchen to boil the oil and pour it on it later.
Enoki mushrooms and okra, it is not easy to find Enoki mushrooms and okra in Daxia. Fortunately, she has someone who searches for fresh and unique ingredients every day, so she has the chance to find them.
The golden needles are spread on a snow-white porcelain plate, and the okra is put down and steamed together. After steaming, it is topped with chili powder and garlic powder, white and green, garnished with red chili peppers. It is not only a dish, but also a fresh little painting.
Xiangru chicken wings seem simple. Just put a layer of Xiangru in the warm green and white, and then put the chicken wings on top. It seems to be a dish. In fact, all the flavor is in the marinated chicken wings. Many people marinate chicken wings. I like to cut the chicken wings twice to make them more flavorful when pickled. I marinate the whole chicken wings without cutting them. After they are steamed and taken out of the pot, when they are lightly poked with chopsticks, the chicken wings will burst out with fresh and tender juices. The taste is simply the ultimate enjoyment.
How can we miss cucumbers in the hot summer? After eating meat dishes, take a bite of refreshing cucumbers, don’t be too impressed.
Today's soup is a sweet soup, pumpkin, lotus seed and tremella soup. After cooling, it becomes clear, sweet and extremely refreshing, which is a perfect ending to dinner.
Why are you always staring at her? Her sallow face is so pretty? Just when Ji Rongjin was about to remind her again, His Royal Highness King Qi on the other side said quietly, "Let's set the food."
"Your Highness, wait a moment!"
Someone who was about to stand up paused and looked straight at the young lady opposite.
The light was hazy, blending in with her yellow face, and it was hard to tell whether it was a halo or a yellow face.
"It's like this, Your Highness, I'm afraid you'll have to wait, so I've prepared the food in the teahouse first, but there are two dishes that need to be boiled with oil to ensure the taste."
So that was it, Yan Tao leaned back on the chair.
This was what she meant by waiting for her. Ji Rongjin understood and smiled sweetly at him: "It will be ready soon." He quickly placed the food box on the side table and took out the vegetables that did not require boiling oil.
Carrying vermicelli, river shrimp, enoki mushrooms and okra, I went to the kitchen to boil some oil.
Yan Tao's eyes followed her slender back until she disappeared, then he looked back leisurely.
Half of the table, the aroma of the food rises, slowly filling the study, lingering on people's noses, stimulating appetite.
Kangtai took a step forward gently, "Your Highness, the shop she just started is making money, how about putting a few losing shops in her hands to try?"
Yan Tao's eyes fell on the sweet soup cup. There were a few slices of orange pumpkin simmering in the snow-white soup, with a few red wolfberries floating on top. They were red, white, orange and yellow, light and delicate, and looked appetizing.
Kangtai quickly helped the host fill a small bowl and handed it over, "Your Highness——"
Yan Tao took the scoop and stuttered it. It was sweet in the mouth. He took a sip and the pumpkin and white fungus melted between his teeth. In an instant, they poured down his throat. Two words - comfortable.
I couldn't help but lower my head. After a while, the small bowl was lowered.
Kangtai quickly took it and wanted to serve it again. He raised his hand gently and said, "Yes, Your Highness." Kangtai put down the bowl and carefully stepped aside.
Yan Tao then said slowly, "Don't worry, let's see how Qiao Yuqing's bean sprouts are doing."
"The little one is impatient, but His Highness is still thinking about it."
Before the master and servant could say a few words, the guard announced at the door, "Manager Kang, Madam Ji is back."
Kangtai personally welcomed her out, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine."
"You're welcome, Mr. Kang." Ji Rongjin walked to half the table and quickly set out the food. He found that the soup was missing, so he naturally looked towards Yan Tao.
Yan Tao stood up and deliberately ignored the young lady's gaze.
Still embarrassed, Ji Rongjin laughed secretly and quickly stepped aside, "Your Highness, dinner is ready."
Yan Tao looked at her.
Why do I have a feeling of resentment? When I take a closer look, His Highness Prince Qi is as indifferent as usual, sitting dignifiedly in front of half the table, eating in an extremely elegant manner, which is pleasing to the eye.
Secretly curling her lips, she didn't want to come back so late. Didn't he cause trouble for her? He wanted the energetic Captain Qiao to make money. He was busy with Qiao's business all afternoon and didn't even finish his own things.
It's easy.
Obviously the two of them didn't speak, but Kangtai felt the interaction between the two, and suddenly felt redundant, so he quietly withdrew.
Ji Rongjin didn't even notice that Manager Kang had left. The big shot had eaten, and her task was considered completed. She relaxed and found a corner stool to sit down, resting and beating her legs.
So tired.
But his mind is still thinking about what needs to be solved tomorrow. The occupancy rate seems to have dropped a bit in the past two days. Is the morning tea shop going to launch a new product...? Ji Rongjin can't wait for one person to use it for several people.
While Yan Tao was enjoying the delicious food, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young lady tapping her left hand and thinking about her right hand. She was so focused that she seemed to have forgotten that there was someone else in the room.
"Give you two useful stewards?" Suddenly, he spoke.
Ji Rongjin took up what he said without thinking, "I need a big boss, a big boss who purchases ingredients."
"What are the requirements for a great minister?"
