004. Scrambled Eggs

After returning home, Rongse asked about the stalking.

Yun Chu said truthfully, "Your Highness, Marquis Dingbei went straight back home after leaving the palace last night. There has been no movement."

Didn't you stay in the palace and talk by candlelight at night?

Rong Se paused slightly, then got off the carriage as if nothing had happened, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Liang Shenyu looked the same as described in the original novel, like a good and upright general, but... during the morning court session, even if it was just a fleeting eye contact, Rong Se was able to keenly sense the danger.

Especially since he didn't follow the world line of the original novel. Is it because of his butterfly wings? But he hasn't started flapping his wings yet!

While thinking, Rong Se heard Yun Chu say, "My Lord, Jin Shan Xuan has prepared breakfast. Do you want to move?"

Thinking of the palace banquet and this morning's dishes, Rong Se's face almost turned green. Without thinking, he said, "I will go to the kitchen." He changed his words and used the words of this dynasty, "to the stove room."

Yun Chu was surprised, but still agreed: "Yes."

"Wait." Rongser said, "Change your clothes first."

Yun Chu couldn't figure out what the prince was trying to do, and wondered to himself, could it be that someone wanted to poison the food?

Otherwise, why would the prince go to the kitchen right after court?

The more Yun Chu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his expression became more serious.

No one in the mansion knew better than him who had such connections and had planted someone right under his nose?

Most of the original owner's clothes were complicated and expensive, either embroidered with gold or silver. Rong Se reluctantly picked out a dark blue narrow-sleeved arrow robe to replace his wide-sleeved and flowing court robe, and followed Yun Chu to the stove room.

The kitchen also had its own courtyard, with many odd jobs to do. There were only two chefs, after all, in such a huge palace, they only served one master.

The person working in the bedroom today is Liu Rui, known as Uncle Liu in the mansion. He is tall and strong, in his early fifties, with a beard that makes him look fierce. But when he saw Rong Se, every strand of his beard trembled, as if a big goose wanted to shrink itself into a sparrow.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Uncle Liu looked at Yun Chu tremblingly.

Yun Chu had a solemn look on his face, his eyes were sharp, and he shook his head slightly.

Uncle Liu almost fainted.

The prince's visit must have something to do, and serving a nobleman is not an easy job, not to mention that the storyteller could not finish telling the stories about this brutal and cold-blooded person even if he kept talking for three days!

Rong Se glanced around the huge kitchen. He didn't know much about ancient kitchen utensils, but judging from the dishes on the palace banquet, they were not cooked well at all. They looked delicious, but they were only beautiful in one aspect - the presentation of the dishes was good.

Even the food in the palace is just average. Given the original owner's level of luxury, he would definitely not make himself suffer. This shows that the food in this world of the book is... too casual.

Rong Se looked carefully and asked, "Where are the ingredients and seasonings?"

Uncle Liu nervously introduced which porcelain jar was for salt and which was for sugar, and that there was everything including cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, and even white sugar. Everything was complete, so it shouldn't be bad.

Rong Se pondered for a moment, then looked at the fresh purple eggplant, "Here, what are you going to do?"

Liu Bo was stunned, thinking that the prince was testing his ability. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Cut this into pieces, put it in hot oil, add seasoning, add water, and wait until it is cooked through and the juice is reduced."

"What about this?" Rong Se pointed to the onion.

Uncle Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This thing, this thing is Chinese chives, boil it in water, it can remove dampness and regulate qi."

Rong Se: “…”

Good guy, boiled eggplant and boiled onion.

I see. The problem is that we have the materials but we don’t know how to make them.

After a moment of silence, Rong Se turned to Yun Chu and said, "Buy a few common recipe books and send them over along with the account book."

Yun Chu was hesitant and uncertain, but he still responded: "...Yes."

Rong Se nodded and said, "Make a fire."

Then he began to wash the rice skillfully, put the washed rice into the pot, and waited for the rice to cook. Then Rongse slowly walked around the kitchen - a qualified chef should familiarize himself with the cooking environment as soon as possible.

As he walked around, he took the ingredients he needed. After all, he was not familiar with the kitchen utensils, so in order to avoid making a mess, Rongse just wanted to stir-fry a simple dish. When he finished walking around, the rice was almost cooked, so he returned to the chopping board and picked up the knife.

Cut the onion into several pieces, dip it in water and cut it into shreds. Use this to knock three eggs on the edge of a bowl and beat them into the bowl. Rong Se is very skilled and uses her bony hands to quickly stir the egg liquid with silver-plated chopsticks. After everything is ready, she takes out a few seasonings and places them in front of her to avoid being flustered because she is not familiar with the bottles and jars.

Uncle Liu was stunned, and Yun Chu's calm expression also froze for a moment, and the two looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

Rongse looked calm. He poured oil into the pot, heated it and put in the eggs. The aroma of fried eggs spread instantly. He beat the walnuts into pieces and fried them into tiger skin noodles before removing them from the pot. He added Sichuan peppercorns and fried them, then removed them. He put green onions into the pot and added seasonings. He then poured in a small amount of water and starch, and then added the eggs and stir-fried them.

He cooks neither hurriedly nor slowly. By the time the fried eggs are out of the pan and served on a plate, the aroma of rice has already wafted through the air.

Liu Bo's stiff face turned into surprise. Just by smelling the fragrance, he knew that this was different from what they usually did!

"Did you see it clearly?" Rong Se put down the dish and turned to lift the rice pot. "The vegetables have to be stir-fried like this, not just boiled in oil. This dish is simple, remember this."

These words were too mild for the regent, but Rongse said them naturally, and his tone sounded like he was teaching a younger generation.

Liu Bo nodded repeatedly, unable to hide his excitement, and praised: "How did the prince come up with this idea?"

Rong Se paused. He couldn't say he learned it from the Internet, so he said vaguely, "I learned it from someone else. Send the dishes to Jin Shan Xuan."

Yun Chu looked at the dishes in silence, then looked at his master, with a complicated expression.

He understood that it was not someone who poisoned the food, but that the prince complained that the food cooked by the abandoned chef was not tasty enough.

.

Jinshanxuan is close to the stove room, so the original owner always had his meals here.

Rong Se took a bite of the dish he cooked and breathed a sigh of relief - he finally got to eat a meal that was eaten by human beings.

Although the kitchen utensils and seasonings have changed, the taste is not much different. After Rong Se took two bites, he remembered Yun Chu standing next to him and called him, "Sit down and try it."

Yun Chu was stunned, "I don't dare."

"Sit down if I tell you to." Rong Se ordered, "Please bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, enough for two people to eat. Let me taste it."

The servants quickly placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Yun Chu sat down hesitantly, with a straight posture. He didn't even know how to hold the chopsticks. After several attempts, he finally managed to pick up a piece of shredded green onion and put it in his mouth, then he paused.

The scallions tasted salty and fragrant when eaten, and sweet when chewed. The saltiness was moderate, and they were crispy but not raw, which was completely different from the soups he had eaten in the past.

Rong Se smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Yun Chu stood in awe, "Master, your cooking skills are superb!"

There is no chef who doesn't like being praised like this. Rong Se's smile deepened, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

The Yun brothers, one holds military power, one is in charge of the business of the Regent Palace, and the other is a girl named Lan Ying who has a group of gangsters under his command and controls the spies planted everywhere by the palace.

These three are all capable assistants.

The original owner Rong Se had a tragic ending because of these three people, who were instigated by Liang Shenyu!

Although Liang Shenyu's attitude is unclear now, we still have to make plans early.
