The imperial chefs were already unable to extricate themselves from the bowl of sauce. They eagerly asked, "Princess Yu, we are very curious about how you made this sauce. It smells so delicious! We firmly believe that this is a flavor we have never smelled before."
"Really? This is very simple. I just mixed several seasonings together. As for the recipe, I haven't officially entered the competition yet. I think I'll reveal it to you later, okay?"
Hearing Shu Jiaying's willingness to share the recipe, several imperial chefs excitedly laughed and said, "Okay, Princess Chen, you must remember to tell us the recipe after the competition!"
"Okay, I won't forget it."
Facing several royal chefs with a smile, Shu Jiaying was already distributing the side dishes. Because she was going to cook three dishes, she divided the side dishes of each dish into three portions and placed them on the table. Of course, the three portions of side dishes were different.
Everything was basically prepared when Yu Chenfeng finally arrived.
Yu Chenfeng was holding a large grass carp in his hand, because he remembered that the spicy fish hot pot cooked by Shu Jiaying at Xiaohua's house last time also used grass carp.
Seeing the grass carp weighing nearly four pounds, Shu Jiaying couldn't help but praise him, "Achen, you're amazing! How did you catch such a big fish in such a short time?"
Yu Chenfeng didn't think this was a big deal. He originally thought
It might be difficult to catch a fish in a short time, so he rushed to a river not far from the palace. He tried to fish with earthworms using the method that Shu Jiaying had taught him.
However, since he couldn't find a fishing rod, Yu Chenfeng simply threw all the earthworms he dug into the river.
Who would have thought that all the fish in the river ran out, but Yu Chenfeng still picked up the biggest one.
That's right, he picked up the fish from the river with his bare hands, and then he walked back to the palace in a swagger, without any effort at all.
Yu Chenfeng asked, "Is this fish enough?"
If it's not enough, he can go to the river to pick it up later.
Shu Jiaying nodded immediately.
"That's enough, Achen, you're awesome!"
In front of the beauties present, Shu Jiaying slaughtered the fish very quickly. Her superb knife skills won praise from the royal chefs.
"Princess Chen, your knife skills are truly amazing!"
He Xinhui disagreed. She said sarcastically, "Prince Princess Chen once said that we should treat fish well, but after seeing the way you killed them, if the fish still had spirits, they would probably hate you to the core."
“…”
In fact, Shu Jiaying used the fastest knife technique to kill the fish, which invisibly reduced the pain of death for the fish. The imperial chefs present had already noticed this. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother ridiculed Shu Jiaying, which made the imperial chefs who wanted to continue praising Shu Jiaying feel embarrassed.
The imperial chefs wanted to learn from Shu Jiaying, but they sensed that the Queen Mother didn't like it, so they had to retreat to the judging seat.
It was better if there was no one around, so Shu Jiaying could perform freely without any pressure. She gave the grass carp a full body massage, and then she cut it into pieces.
Shu Jiaying plans to make chopped pepper fish head from the grass carp head, and spicy fish hotpot from the fish bones and half of the fish meat. She will make sweet and sour fish with the remaining half of the fish meat. There should be no problem with this arrangement.
