This craftsman is so efficient that he finished it in just one day.
But the two big dark circles under the craftsman's eyes were hard to ignore.
So Chu Yuening looked at Zhao Gao with a bit of guilt.
Zhao Gao immediately understood.
"Don't worry, Lord Chu, His Majesty will reward you."
After receiving the craftsman's grateful look, Chu Yuening ordered the temple servants to prepare a bag of wheat and several wooden basins.
The magnificent palace was coated with a layer of golden light by the sun, making it look even more gorgeous and splendid.
Outside the hall, on the open space paved with bluestone bricks, a woman was holding a millstone with a wooden handle and turning it rapidly.
The white flour on the millstone fell into the wooden basin.
The eunuchs and palace maids around were watching intently, when suddenly the woman cried out "Ouch" and stopped.
"Master Chu, what's wrong?"
"nothing..."
Chu Yuening said as she straightened the dislocated millstone.
Could she say that the millstone was spinning too fast and almost flew out?
This really damages her image as the steady Lord Chu.
When the flour in the basin was almost half full, Chu Yuening asked the monk to continue grinding while she took the wooden basin to the Shangshi Bureau.
After a while, she looked at the smooth dough in the basin and thought hard.
What pasta should I make?
Steamed buns?
No, it still needs to be fermented, which is a bit troublesome.
Dumpling soup?
Well, although it tastes good, it doesn’t look very good. She was afraid that the well-dressed and well-fed Qin Shi Huang would be very picky.
Sliced noodles?
This one is pretty good, chewy and smooth, but without the chili pepper it feels like it’s half as fragrant.
Forget it, let’s just have knife-cut noodles. She will try to use Sichuan peppercorns as a substitute.
After the water came to a boil, Chu Yuening smoothly put the noodles in, then added salt, ginger, peppercorns, sauce and other seasonings, and also added a few eggs and some vegetables.
After cooking, she served three bowls of hot knife-cut noodles.
The bowl contained a dazzling display of white noodles, verdant vegetables, and golden eggs, creating a vibrant and delicious scene. Just looking at it whetted one's appetite. There was still some left in the cauldron, so Chu Yuening asked the female officials, who were quietly drooling, to share.
After arriving at Zhangtai Palace and waiting for Zhao Gao's announcement, she walked in slowly. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw the emperor discussing taxation with Lord Luo.
Sure enough, the old man would definitely come over to check on the emergence of the sweet potato seedlings.
"Your Majesty, this is the food I made with wheat flour. It's called knife-cut noodles."
Chu Yuening asked the temple servant to place three bowls of knife-cut noodles in front of the three people.
Ying Zheng looked at the colorful, fragrant and delicious meal. Although it was not time for dinner yet, he couldn't help but feel hungry.
"Good! Then I will try Chu Qing's cooking skills."
After saying that, he gracefully picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of snow-white dough and put it into his mouth.
