Chapter 539: Xianxian's Miscalculation and Huang Rong's Intelligence



This new dish is ice-boiled lamb, which is made by cooking lamb with mountain spring water and ice cubes.

The sheep we chose are goats that came down from the mountains. I don’t know if they are wild sheep, but the sheep from the mountains will not taste bad because there are many berries and lush grass on the mountains.

Then make a separate dipping sauce for fresh chives with sesame paste, bean powder, a little crispy powder, and a little fennel, and a simple version of Lakshen dipping sauce is ready.

After taking a bite, Xianxian's eyes immediately lit up. The mutton had only a slight fishy smell, which was immediately neutralized by the dipping sauce. Only the aroma of the mutton and the dipping sauce remained. It was really good.

However, she also noticed the chef's bias. What she could learn today was that cooking meat with a mixture of ice water and spring water would make it firm and chewy, as well as the role and preparation of dipping sauces.

It is impossible to defeat Huang Rong with this. At most, it can narrow the gap between them.

"Master, don't you have any other methods to teach Xianxian? It would be best if we could kill her with one strike, so that she would definitely win against Sister Huang Rong."

"Look how much Xian'er cares about your affairs. Can't Master give Xian'er a hand?"

Li Xiuzhu was speechless.

"I have taught you everything I can. The general method is like this. Master, there is really nothing else to teach you, unless you want to learn a specific dish, I can teach you."

After hearing this, Xianxian was silent for a moment and then asked, "What is the chef's specialty?"

"Specialty dish? Crispy pigeon, or sweet and sour spareribs? Or boiled cabbage?"

Three? The boiled cabbage sounds not very good and is not presentable.

She knew about sweet and sour spare ribs, but this dish required the use of pigs raised by the chef himself, which was not convenient, so the only option was crispy-skinned pigeon.

"Then Master, please make crispy pigeon."

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

Kanan is so much inferior to Huang Rong, it wouldn't be too much to teach her a little more.

The main reason is that Kankan is of the same mind as him and often seeks benefits for him, so he should indeed reward the girl.

At worst, I can teach Huang Rong how to cook another dish later.

"Okay, go find some pigeons and I'll teach you."

Upon hearing this, Kanan's eyes lit up and she flew out quickly, but she didn't come back until half an hour later.

Is this enough time to go back to Heluo City? Another half hour passed before Qianqian came back dejectedly.

But he came back empty-handed, with a look of regret on his face.

Li Xiuzhu was startled and asked subconsciously: "Where are the pigeons?"

"Well, I didn't find it."

As she spoke, she said angrily, "I often see pigeons flying around, and I often see several at a time. How come they hide so well when I look for them?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "So is it possible that you saw a carrier pigeon?"

"Ah?" Kanan was stunned. She often heard this word, but she didn't think about it that way today.

"You can find wild pigeons in the mountains. Xian'er and Master also admire you, haha."

Seeing Li Xiuzhu laughing at her, Kanan's face suddenly turned red and she stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

"Master, if you laugh at me again, I will get angry."

"Yeah, don't laugh, don't laugh!" Although Li Xiuzhu said this, he couldn't hold back the smile on his lips.

Suddenly, Kankan let out a delicate snort of annoyance.

"Ignore the master, bad master."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kanan ran away with a series of phantoms.

Li Xiuzhu chased after him with a smile, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Huang Rong woke up in the afternoon. Seeing that Li Xiuzhu was there but Kankan was not, she asked curiously, "Didn't the prince go to teach Kankan how to cook? I thought she knocked me down so that she could take the opportunity to ask you to cook for her."

Li Xiuzhu had no doubt about Huang Rong's wisdom at all. It was reasonable for Huang Rong to guess it.

Li Xiuzhu did not hide it and smiled and said, "I taught her how to stew mutton. There is a small condiment for dipping the meat. Do you want to know? If you want to know, in the evening..."

Before Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, Huang Rong shook her head and said, "No need, it's just a dipping sauce, who can't make it?"

"But she can't possibly let you teach her just this little bit, right? The prince is loyal to his disciple after all. He is unwilling to tell you the whole story. Is he afraid that I will know the information?"

Li Xiuzhu was not surprised by Huang Rong's refusal. This elder sister was obviously afraid that he would make conditions.

But it was just as she said, she really didn't think much of it as a dipping sauce.

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

"I don't mean to hide it. Although you are my master's little cotton-padded jacket, you are also my favorite."

"Later, she did ask me to teach her something else. Kana asked me what my specialty was, and I told her three dishes."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

“Crispy pigeon, sweet and sour pork ribs, and boiled cabbage.”

Huang Rong nodded her head and said in agreement, "Let's not talk about whether your specialty can beat me, but the possibility is still very high. Her idea is correct."

"Let me see. So she chose the crispy squab?"

Although Li Xiuzhu knew that Huang Rong was smart, he was still shocked.

He nodded when he heard this and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Huang Rong said with confidence, "It's an easy guess. First of all, sweet and sour pork ribs are made with pork ribs, and the best pork is only found in the prince's family. This dish has certain requirements for ingredients, so it's impossible for Qianqian to choose it."

"As for boiled cabbage, it sounds just so-so. It depends on the chef's ability to cook it well. It takes skill to cook ordinary cabbage well."

"As a quick dish, I would also choose crispy pigeon."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and shook his head after hearing this.

"You're half right."

"Ah?" Even Huang Rong was stunned, because she never thought that she would guess wrong.

"You may have guessed correctly why Xianxian chose crispy pigeon, but the boiled cabbage requires more than just the chef's skills."

“It’s true that this is a Kung Fu dish, but the ingredients used are extremely particular.”

“Not only chickens, ducks, and geese are used, but also Tibetan-made ham and scallops.”

"The soup is as clear as boiled water, and this boiled cabbage dish is considered a success. Overall, it can be considered the best among the imperial court dishes."

Huang Rong rolled her eyes at Li Xiuzhu and said, "You are the one who is on guard against me. Apart from the main ingredients, the auxiliary ingredients and cooking methods are the same."

Li Xiuzhu shrugged and continued, "There's nothing I can do. With your intelligence and cooking skills, you can draw inferences from what I tell you once. Then, you will definitely lose."

Huang Rong smiled gently, showing her feminine charm.

"Haha, okay, I won't embarrass you anymore."

"Husband, how long do you think we will stay in Heluo?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Probably more than a month at most."

"You must be missing Fu'er, why don't you go to the capital with them when the Su family's fleet sets out in ten days?"

"We know where Fu'er's garden is. You can go and see her yourself."
