The old man looked kindly at the boy who was making a funny face.
It's not like that! "The boy jumped off his chair and blushed angrily when he heard these words." Grandpa, how could you say such things? Food is something that brings happiness to people, not as dark as you say. I want to become the best chef because I hope that one day in the future, everyone in this world will smile uncontrollably when they hear my name or see the food I make! This is the power of food itself
Remember what you said yourself, "the old man's eyes became clear in an instant." No matter what, food must not be a tool for people to compete for power and profit! That's why I handed over the family recipe to you, not to others. This recipe can only unleash its unparalleled power in the hands of those who truly love it
I know, grandpa. I will take good care of the recipe. When people are around, the recipe is there, "the boy said seriously.
The old man shook his head and said
Xie Yunqi stuck out his tongue and said, "Those fortune tellers are all feudal scum. I don't believe what they say
The old man affectionately touched his hair and said, "What are these words? Master Zhou is a truly capable person. Since you are destined to have no bloodline to continue the Li family's bloodline, and I don't want to give the recipe to that son who sneaks into the eyes of money, then our royal chef Li's bloodline is destined to be cut off here, and the recipe will be useless. Just burn it directly
Xie Yunqi nodded vaguely and said, "I understand, Grandpa
The old man didn't say a word anymore, as if he was asleep. Xie Yunqi pushed him and said, "Grandpa, go sleep in your room. Sleeping outside will catch a cold
The old man with white hair sat quietly on the rocking chair, without a sound, and a relieved smile froze in the corner of his lips.
The boy panicked and tentatively placed his finger under the old man's nose. He widened his eyes in shock, and a mist gradually spread over those bright eyes.
Escaping from past memories, Xie Yunqi's mood became extremely bad.
The chefs had just realized that the Second Prince was going to personally handle the ingredients, and were momentarily stunned. One of the older looking chefs said cautiously, "Second Prince, please don't touch these things. This is not a joke. The sharp blade will cut your delicate and tender fingers, and Your Majesty will blame us. If you want to eat something, you don't have to come here in person, just send a servant over to tell us. Let's leave the kitchen to us
Xie Yunqi, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to talk to him. His fingers moved quickly, and he could only see a lingering shadow, which seemed to carry a wonderful melody.
It should be noted that people often evaluate a dish based on six aspects: color, aroma, taste, flavor, shape, and nourishment
Is the color of food attractive;
Fragrance and smell are the most enduring sensations in human memory. Whether a dish is good or not, one can roughly distinguish its taste by smelling it;
Taste, different people have different tastes, how to make a dish that suits the taste of most people is a kind of knowledge;
Food should have cultural connotations, and the names of dishes should ideally correspond to the ingredients and the shape of the dish;
The shape and decoration of dishes should bring customers a sense of aesthetic enjoyment;
Nourishing, food can nourish people. The most important thing about a good dish is its rich nutrition, achieving a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables.
In fact, there is one more thing, which is the process of a chef cooking: a real chef's cooking has a wonderful rhythm in every move, giving people a visual enjoyment, just like what Xie Yunqi showed at this moment. Although we don't know the final product, just seeing the process of processing ingredients can make people feel tongue and tongue tingling.
Green cucumbers, brightly colored tomatoes, bright orange carrots, and ham with a strong aroma... All the ingredients needed are cut into small circular or square pieces and neatly arranged together.
Xie Yunqi sliced with one hand while tapping the pot with the other hand, lightly tapping the egg, flipping the spoon over, and turning off the heat when it was seven.
In this unique visual feast, everyone completely lost their language ability and could only stare blankly at the handsome young man and the smooth and aesthetically pleasing movements in his hands: his fingers seemed to be casting the greatest magic, with a mesmerizing power.
Xie Yunqi took the hot and steaming toast that the chef had just baked, cut it into slices, spread it with bright red granular strawberry jam, put in the cut ingredients, and poured fragrant milk into a crystal clear glass. He ate it with relish.
The people in the kitchen coincidentally swallowed their saliva.
Suddenly I feel so hungry and want to eat, I must not be alone. That fragrance seemed to have its own consciousness, constantly seeping into my nose
It looks like just an ordinary sandwich, why does it smell so fragrant? In the morning, I ate two bowls of yam, dried fruit, oatmeal and Congee. Why is my stomach rumbling again? You must have digested it too quickly
Although the Second Prince looks nothing like His Majesty the King, the way he cooked just now looks like a king inspecting his own territory! After picking up the kitchen knife, the temperament of the Second Prince suddenly changed! He exudes a unique and noble aura all over his body, as if the whole world is under his control
The cooking process of the Second Prince is really cool!! Starting today, my number one idol will become the second prince of the Kitchen God from the Grand Prince of the Army God! The Second Prince is really amazing
Xie Yunqi knows that the more hungry you are, the slower you should eat, otherwise it will burden your stomach. He ate his breakfast slowly, drank all the milk, stretched out the bright red tip of his tongue to lick the corners of his mouth, wiped a circle of thick white milk rings on his lips, and planned to cook a pot of seafood Congee for the queen who had not seen it yet but seemed to be in poor health.
When washing the rice, the bright white grains and fair fingers shone together, almost dazzling people's eyes. Everyone in the kitchen blushed for some unknown reason.
What beautiful hands! Slender and slender, with distinct joints, like newly grown bamboo shoots after rain. The nails are full and clean, and the knuckles look just right
It is said that hands are the second face of a person. If you don't look at the appearance of the Second Prince, just by looking at these fair and elastic hands, you can tell that the owner of the hand must be a handsome man
The hands of the Second Prince are so white and tender, they look particularly delicate, even more beautiful than the hands that celebrities often use expensive hand masks to maintain on TV. It's really unreasonable
Xie Yunqi spoke up and said, "Don't daydream, help me prepare the ingredients I'll need later." When cooking, Xie Yunqi is completely different from usual, being very strict with herself and others, and speaking very concisely, thus saving time and avoiding a decrease in the freshness of the food.
Seeing everyone nodding in confusion, Xie Yunqi secretly thought to himself: Do people in the palace have the habit of daydreaming? He shook his head and focused on the task at hand, directing them to prepare the ingredients they needed: sea cucumber, shrimp, squid, green fish, clams, and put them into the pot at different times and temperatures.
These people are usually very proud of their status as imperial chefs, but when they carry out the tasks assigned by Xie Yunqi, their faces are full of joy. Some of them act very exaggeratedly, trying to attract Xie Yunqi's attention, but at this moment, Xie Yunqi's gaze has long been stuck on the pot, so there is no possibility of giving anyone else a chance?
Everyone in the kitchen has different thoughts:
Maybe the Second Prince will privately teach me some tricks when he sees my good performance. Even if he doesn't, building a good relationship with the Prince is a sure win deal. Now remember these things, and when I leave the palace in the future, I can also publish a book to make money. The title of the book will be, um, called 'The Second Prince People Don't Know'
The swordsmanship of the Second Prince just now was really amazing. He cuts vegetables quickly and agilely, unlike many people who are quick and slow. The ingredients he cuts are either too wide or too narrow. The Second Prince has processed them all in a uniform and neat size, thickness, and neatness, like an experienced hand with more than ten years of experience. His work is really beautiful. Compared to his current age, it's really unbelievable
The Second Prince is so handsome when cooking, he's so handsome that he can't even close his legs! It is said that men who work hard are the most charming, and this sentence is really good! That focused gaze, those slender fingers, those straight legs... Ah, he saw me, he saw me! What are you going to say to me? Does the light makeup I applied today suit me well? Has my recent weight loss been effective? Do you still look artistic, fresh, and sweet in this small floral dress
Don't be stunned, "Xie Yunqi said sternly." This is the third time I've said it, bring the ginger you have at hand
Ah? Oh, oh, okay. "The chef, who seemed a little dazed for some reason, brought the ginger beside him.
Grasp the heat, put in finely cut coriander, shredded ginger and chopped scallion for seasoning, and drop a few drops of fragrant sesame oil to form colorless and transparent thin oil flakes on the water surface. Turn off the fire, and the seafood Congee is completed.
The kitchen crowd smelled the rich and fragrant flavor, their expressions intoxicated, and some couldn't help but drool from the corners of their mouths.
The emerald green onions, orange red sesame oil, snow-white shrimp meat, shimmering white rice grains... All of these make up a perfect picture that deeply captures people's attention, and their mouths unconsciously secrete a large amount of saliva.
