As a chef, maybe you don’t have to worry so much about the presentation of the dish.
After all, as long as home-cooked meals taste good, fill you up and make you feel comfortable, that’s enough.
But they are not ordinary cooks!
They are the royal chefs!
It is to serve dignitaries, even the emperor!
If there weren't so many high standards and strict requirements, their lives would most likely be in danger!
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and this applies not only to the court officials and some important ministers around the emperor.
And there are also the imperial chefs who are responsible for the emperor’s meals every day!
If he doesn't let the other imperial chefs know the seriousness of the matter, I'm afraid that he, as the chief imperial chef, will have to bear a lot of joint responsibility and suffer unnecessary disasters!
Even if he doesn't consider the other royal chefs under his command, he has to consider his own life!
At this point, the lesson has been taught and the scolding has been given.
Eunuch Wang stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, especially since he was very curious about the blanched choy sum made by Xiao Qingluo!
After all, an ordinary dish made by Xiao Qingluo could actually receive such high praise from Fang Erniu. It really makes people curious about the taste of this dish!
Eunuch Wang's tone inevitably carried a hint of urging as he said with a smile, "Chef Fang, please try the blanched Chinese cabbage cooked by the Sixth Prince's Consort. I'm really going to be upset if you don't try it!"
Fang Erniu nodded and took
Pick up the chopsticks and reach for the blanched Chinese cabbage in your hand.
In fact, he couldn't help but want to taste the blanched Chinese cabbage made by Xiao Qingluo!
This dish, with only the two minor criteria of color and aroma, actually exceeded his expectations. This was enough to show that Xiao Qingluo did have some knowledge of cooking and had quite a bit of experience!
The color and fragrance alone are enough to make Xiao Qingluo qualified to enter the imperial kitchen in the palace!
I just don’t know what it tastes like!
But he was about to find out!
And this dish is blanched choy sum!
All chefs, including the royal chef, don’t cook perfectly!
Therefore, the difficulty of making this dish taste good is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Just now, Fang Erniu felt an irrepressible anticipation in his heart.
But he has calmed down now.
I don’t think the taste of this blanched choy sum will be very good.
Because the choy sum has a strong earthy smell.
This is not the fault of the vegetable, but the fault of the water and soil.
They did not grow vegetables like choy sum in Nangan, but introduced them from the Kingdom of Nanyue through trade routes.
The choy sum of the Nanyue Kingdom is also called choy tiao.
Because of the water and soil conditions there, the Chinese cabbage grown there has a strong earthy smell.
Even the chefs of Nanyue Kingdom could not completely remove the smell of cabbage sprouts.
In this case, the choy sum can only become
A side dish used to decorate other dishes.
Because of this, he felt that he couldn't have too high expectations for Xiao Qingluo's dish.
After all, for a chef, if he wants to judge whether a dish is delicious fairly, he must keep a normal mind!
If you expect too much from a dish that is not very delicious, you will magnify the regret infinitely when you put it in your mouth, and thus make an unfair judgment.
Moreover, Xiao Qingluo's dish has great color and aroma, but it's really not that important.
Some people who are truly sensitive to colors can arrange dishes exquisitely based on their talent without any special teaching.
But the most important point is that he is also a gourmet!
If he has too high expectations for a dish in front of him but is not satisfied with the taste, he will feel extremely uncomfortable!
And how could Xiao Qingluo make delicious food?
It’s not that he looks down on Xiao Qingluo.
But the gap between an experienced chef with professional knowledge of cooking and an ordinary person is as huge as a chasm!
Thinking of this, Fang Erniu no longer hesitated and directly picked up a piece of vegetable heart and put it in his mouth!
As soon as the choy sum entered his mouth, Fang Erniu closed his mouth.
But the next second!
Fang Erniu's eyes suddenly widened!
The taste of this soup...
fresh!
Very fresh!
Super fresh!
How can it be so fresh?!
Fang Erniu subconsciously began to chew slowly!
But before he could start thinking, his mouth started chewing wildly out of control!
The crisp sound of the Chinese cabbage is transmitted to the ear canal through the ears when chewed by the teeth!
The taste of the soup combined with the fragrance of the cabbage overflows from the mouth into the nasal cavity!
The crisp texture of choy sum stimulates every part of the tongue and mouth!
Finally, all the feelings come together and go down the esophagus into the stomach!
Fresh! Fragrant! Salty! Sweet! Delicious!
Among all the flavors, there is a hint of spiciness that stimulates the receptors in the mouth!
These wonderful but not stimulating feelings actually mix together in the mouth and become an extremely stimulating delicacy!
This kind of stimulation is not that strong stimulation!
It is an extremely integrated and stimulating feeling that makes people feel extremely happy!
It is a taste stimulation of a delicacy that is rarely seen in the world!
"Delicious! Delicious! So delicious!"
Fang Erniu felt that he was about to become a prisoner of food at this moment!
His hands uncontrollably picked up the second vegetable heart and put it into his mouth impatiently!
He just felt satisfied, and as long as there was cabbage heart in his mouth, he would feel comfortable!
"What?!"
