Chapter 120 It smells so good
When Emperor Jingning ate, it was natural for Andy Cheng to taste the food.
Andy cut off a small piece of the sauce-flavored cake, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. A rich sauce flavor spread in his mouth.
The taste of the sauce-flavored cake is very rich, with the crispy and crunchy cake body and the fragrant sauce intertwined together. It is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue whole.
But at this moment, many people in the house could not wait any longer.
Several ministers stared at the sauce-flavored pancakes in front of them with burning eyes, waiting for Andy Sheng to finish the tasting session.
The main reason is that the pancake is so fragrant. The aroma of flour and sauce blend perfectly together and go straight into people's noses, making people want to pick up chopsticks and pick up a piece to taste it immediately.
Emperor Jingning hadn't eaten yet, so no one else dared to eat either.
But just by smelling this aroma, the ministers' appetite was aroused.
I can only hope in my heart that Andesheng will move faster and faster.
Finally, An Desheng swallowed the sauce-flavored pancake in his mouth and nodded to Emperor Jingning.
Emperor Jingning suppressed his restless hands in his heart, not letting himself take the sauce-flavored pancake too quickly.
He picked up the sauce-flavored cake wrapped in oil paper with an elegant movement, and said, "My dear ministers, please feel free to eat as you wish."
Then he started eating with a "crunch, crunch" sound, just like Shen Zhaonian had done just now.
Ministers: ...
They also wanted to eat the whole cake like His Majesty did.
Emperor Jingning was in a good mood as he chewed the sauce-flavored cake.
It turned out to be the right decision to keep Shen Zhaonian for breakfast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious sauce-flavored cakes.
When you take a bite, you first feel the crispness of the crust, then the softness of the cake, and a very subtle toughness.
After chewing it carefully, I found that the crispy yet chewy texture only slightly lifted a corner of the sauce-flavored pancake.
Especially when you eat the middle part of the pancake, salty, fragrant, sweet, crispy, spicy, soft, chewy... all kinds of tastes surge out and dominate every corner of your mouth.
It is salty and fragrant, crispy and soft, spicy but not pungent. Every bite will make you intoxicated and it is so delicious that you can't describe it.
Emperor Jingning took a bite of cake and a mouthful of porridge and ate them with gusto.
Several ministers also ate mouthful after mouthful and could not stop at all.
Some people have even begun to give up the habit of chewing slowly that they developed since childhood and eat the sauce-flavored cakes in big mouthfuls.
Fragrant, it's so fragrant!!
Everyone enjoyed this breakfast to their heart's content.
Emperor Jingning stuffed the last bite of biscuit into his mouth, and his eyes softened as he looked at Shen Zhaonian.
He took the handkerchief handed over by Andersen and wiped his mouth: "The county lady's craftsmanship is excellent, it deserves a reward!"
Shen Zhaonian looked delighted and hurried forward to express his gratitude on behalf of Shen Huazheng.
His daughter is really amazing. She only gave him a piece of cake but she got rewarded by His Majesty.
The ministers standing aside only felt envy, but not jealousy or hatred.
After all, people who have eaten someone's food should be grateful, and the other person has achieved his goal with real ability, so it is not their turn to be jealous or hate him.
…
Today, Zhou Ying, Madam Zhou, and Zhou Zeyan came to the Shen residence and brought a basket of wild chestnuts.
Chen Huazheng looked at the cone-shaped basket of hairy chestnuts and immediately decided to make chestnut braised chicken.
"Chestnut-braised chicken?"
Zhou Ying thought that Shen Huazheng asked people to peel chestnuts in order to make the fragrant sugar-roasted chestnuts last time, but she didn't expect that what she wanted to make was chestnut braised chicken.
Chen Huazheng: "Chestnut braised chicken is delicious and good for your health. Grandma and cousin Yan are here today, so we can make more. You can bring some back for grandpa and uncle to try when you go back."
[Chestnuts are the best autumn fruits. Chestnut stewed chicken can replenish qi and spleen, strengthen kidneys and tendons, and also help enhance immunity. Make more and let your parents, brother, grandmother, and cousins have some tonic.]
Zhou Ying: "Okay, cousin will cook this dish with you."
She and the rest of the family now roughly understand the meaning of those strange words that occasionally pop up in Shen Huazheng's mind.
For example, what Shen Huazheng muttered in her heart, "enhancing immunity", simply means replenishing vital energy and strengthening the exterior.
Anyway, as long as they understand that Shen Huazheng's starting point is to make her family's health better, that's enough.

While Chen Huazheng was explaining to Zhou Ying how to cook chestnut-braised chicken, she was blanching the peeled chestnuts to remove the astringency.
Another benefit of doing this is that the chestnuts will be more flavorful and have a crispier texture when stewed.
After the cook prepared the chicken and chopped it into pieces, Shen Huazheng added cooking wine and oyster sauce to the porcelain bowl containing the chicken pieces to marinate them.
When the chicken is almost marinated, you can start cooking.
First pour oil, ginger and scallion into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chicken pieces and stir-fry, then pour soy sauce into it.
After the chicken pieces in the pot were fried and colored, Shen Huazheng poured the peeled chestnuts into it.
Stir-fry for a few minutes, add hot water to the pot to cover the chicken pieces and chestnuts, bring to a boil over high heat, then cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
Seeing that the stewing time was almost up, Shen Huazheng added sugar and salt to season it, and the chestnut braised chicken was ready to be served.
“It smells so good!”
Zhou Ying looked at the braised chicken with chestnuts and couldn't help swallowing.
The chestnut braised chicken just out of the pot is bright yellow and oily in color. The aroma of chicken and chestnuts mix together to form a sweet and rich aroma that lingers at the tip of your nose.
The appearance and aroma alone are enough to whet your appetite.

"Grandma, please try this chestnut-braised chicken."
Chen Huazheng used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of yellow chicken for Madam Zhou, and then picked up a piece for Zhou. She also picked up some chestnuts for them.
"Mom, you try it too."
Madam Zhou and Mrs. Zhou both looked at Shen Huazheng with a smile, “Zheng’er, you eat too.”
This dish of chestnut braised chicken is very fragrant and it smells delicious from time to time.
Zhou Zeyan also couldn't wait to pick up a piece of greasy chicken and put it into his mouth.
The chicken is tender and juicy, the texture of the meat is very fine, it is soft and tasty, and it tastes great.
As you chew it, you can seem to taste a hint of chestnut sweetness.
Salty, fresh, sweet and fragrant are well blended together to form a wonderful taste, which penetrates into the tip of the tongue little by little, and dances with happy notes on the taste buds.
Fragrant, it's so fragrant!!
I knew it was the right thing to give this wild chestnut to Zheng Er!!
Old Madam Zhou was carefully tasting the chicken and chestnuts in the bowl, with a look of amazement in her eyes.
The stewed chestnuts have a soft and delicate texture and have absorbed the deliciousness of the soup. When you take a bite, your mouth is filled with sweetness and softness.
The chicken is tender and soft, and the chestnut flour is glutinous and delicious. These two completely different tastes are blended together in an extremely harmonious way.
Every bite is so satisfying.
Zhou swallowed the chicken in her mouth and said, "This dish is delicious."
The tenderness of the chicken and the fragrance of the chestnuts are really delicious when eaten with rice.
There is also a touch of soft sweetness that shines straight into people's hearts.
Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying smiled at each other and also buried their heads in eating.
The atmosphere in the side hall was very warm and harmonious. The rice and dishes were steaming hot, full of the warm smell of fireworks. While eating, everyone talked about some interesting things from the past.
For a moment, it seemed as if all the worries and fatigue could be isolated, leaving only the tranquility and comfort of being with family at this moment.
