Jin Suting thought that Helan Ruizhe could question her ability and insult her IQ, but he could never insult her cooking skills. She was serious about cooking!
"Why, you don't believe it?"
Helan Ruizhe immediately expressed his loyalty: "No! Of course I believe you."
Jin Suting said: "Then just watch carefully!"
As for cooking, that is her best skill!
As for what major in explosives I studied in college, I won’t mention that.
A group of maids were driven out of the kitchen of the East Palace, and Jin Suting walked into the kitchen with a swagger.
Helan Ruizhe was not allowed to watch the game. After a while, there was a clanging sound coming from the kitchen. It might be the sound of pots and pans colliding.
“Tie—tie—tie!”
When Helan Ruizhe heard the strange sound, he immediately rushed in to check if something had fallen and hurt Jin Suting.
Who would have thought that the scene I would see when I entered was Jin Suting holding a knife and using the side of the knife to hit a large, green and tender cucumber lying alone on the chopping board.
The cucumber was torn into pieces, and it looked as if it was crying out that it didn't want the fate that was assigned to it.
"How did you get in?" Jin Suting asked Helan Ruizhe, holding up a big knife that was shining coldly.
The other party was frightened and immediately retracted his head, which was peeking out, and waited outside obediently.
Then there was another round of crackling and ping-pong sounds.
The maids outside all looked helpless. Some were halfway through lighting the fire, some were halfway through cooking, some were halfway through washing the vegetables, and some were halfway through eating the vegetables...
She was called out by Yuan Jing and had to endure the torture in the kitchen by their future Crown Princess outside.
Just when everyone didn't believe that Jin Suting could do anything famous, she had already packed up three dishes and served them out of the pot.
She put it out for everyone to appreciate.
Everyone had the same surprised expression. Jin Suting's three dishes were: sour plum soup, cold cucumber salad, and hot and sour lotus root slices.
Judging from the color, the cold-mixed cucumber is slightly inferior. Jin Suting was very casual when making this dish. She pounded the cucumber and added appropriate amount of vinegar and sugar. After the cucumber and the ingredients were fully blended, she added a few corianders.
The overall look is that it looks like it was chopped up and there are two cilantro flowers on my cucumber.
If you want to compare it with the spicy and sour lotus root slices, it is different. Jin Suting cuts the lotus root into thin slices and builds them up layer by layer like a ladder, neatly and tidy.
White lotus root slices paired with chili oil and her unique barbecue chili powder become red crispy lotus root slices. The chopped chili sauce is dotted on the lotus root slices and sprinkled with a few white sesame seeds, which makes it full of color, fragrance and taste.
Finally, there is sour plum soup, the color of this soup is very beautiful.
The color is similar to a natural plum, nearly transparent, with distinct color zones along the edges and interior, ranging from light to dark, creating a visually striking effect. Jin Suting deliberately adds a few pieces of crushed ice after boiling the broth, which enhances its flavor. Fresh plum soup is refreshingly sweet and appetizing.
"Well, this is the appetizer I prepared for the Queen Mother!"
Jin Suting looked at Helan Ruizhe with an expression of "seeking praise", and she felt that she was very capable.
Unexpectedly, Helan Ruizhe just nodded calmly and told Yuan Jing: "Send it to grandma."
Yuan Jing accepted the order: "Yes."
Jin Suting had an aggrieved expression on her face: "I haven't even tasted a single bite of what I made myself."
Helan Ruizhe rubbed her hair and said, "Be good, if you like it, go make another one. I also want to eat it."
Jin Suting: “…” I don’t!
If you want to eat, make it yourself!
The Queen Mother woke up. She was a little tired and very hungry, but she didn't want to eat.
Yuan Jing knocked on the door and said, "Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared lunch for you."
The Queen Mother looked at Eunuch Bai, who replied directly, "General Yuan, please go back. The Queen Mother does not need you."
Yuan Jing raised an eyebrow, unyielding: "This is an apology from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I hope the Queen Mother will accept it!"
The Queen Mother still ignored him, but she could smell a hint of her favorite scent on the tip of her nose. It was fragrant, really fragrant!
She actually had the urge to eat. In the past three days, nothing had been able to awaken her appetite.
When Eunuch Bai was about to speak again to drive Yuan Jing away, the Queen Mother stopped him, "Go open the door, I want to eat that."
Eunuch Bai: “??!”
The Queen Mother wants to eat!
"Yes." Mr. Bai opened the door and invited Yuan Jing in.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
"No need for formalities." When the Queen Mother saw the dishes while sitting on the bed, her eyes lit up. These were what she wanted to eat.
"Quick, put it down."
The Queen Mother couldn't wait to taste these dishes, and she reached for the cucumber with her chopsticks first.
It's crispy, refreshing and appetizing when you take a bite.
“It’s just the right amount of sweet and sour, very delicious.”
The Queen Mother was like a master taster. She picked up a piece of lotus root and found it not spicy at all.
The spicy taste slowly jumped onto the tip of the tongue. The Queen Mother almost broke into a sweat from the spiciness, but she still couldn't forget the taste and wanted to try it again.
By the time she ate the third piece, the spiciness was unbearable. She took a sip of the sour plum soup and was surprised: "The soup is cold?"
She thought she had to eat other dishes first and wait until the soup cooled down before drinking it!
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother, I put crushed ice in the soup when I made it."
The Queen Mother was very surprised: "The chefs in the Eastern Palace are comparable to the chefs in the Imperial Palace. These dishes are all new to me. They are very novel and delicious."
Yuan Jing explained: "This is not made by the chef of the East Palace."
