Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 401 Crab Stuffed Orange

Xiaoxiao dug up a few more oranges here happily, and Xiaoxiao mixed the diced water chestnuts with crab meat, egg liquid, minced ginger, and wine, and sprinkled some pepper to remove fishy smell and enhance the flavor, and then put the mixed ingredients together Put it into the fresh orange, cover the orange lid, and put it on the steamer.

The father and daughter worked together, and this dish came out very quickly. The other places in the general's mansion were random, but in this big kitchen, Xiao Ran prepared all the things that she thought Gu Changan could use. Both chefs used it. It's pretty smooth.

The emperor came with a meal schedule. First, as the king of a country, he could not leave the palace for too long. The earlier he came, the less he ate, so he was not so stupid. Second, there were too many memorials that had not been reviewed. Finished!
He is so hardworking, in order to reward himself, he will eat more later!
How long has it been since he tasted Gu Changan's craft?
There are countless dishes prepared in the kitchen, it can be seen that he is in a good mood today, he is lucky!

As soon as the first dish was served, the emperor reflexively wanted to touch the chopsticks, but Xiao Ran stared at him.

The heroes who have worked hard all afternoon are not on the table yet, do you dare to try one?
Emperor: ...You really dare to say that no matter whether you are a monarch or a minister...

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao and Gu Changan were professional and efficient, and they came over while the first dish was still steaming.

Naturally, the General's Mansion did not have any broken rules that women could not sit at the table. The whole family and an uninvited emperor sat neatly, and Eunuch De was sent to Yunwei and the General's Mansion to guard the tables.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Ran: "Dinner?"

Xiao Ran didn't even lift her eyelids, picked up the serving chopsticks to serve Xiaoxiao and Gu Chang'an with food first, and then picked up the wine glass: "Thanks for your hard work."

Emperor: ...does he appear to be ignorant?

Xiaoxiao was still young, so she was not allowed to drink alcohol, so she could only clink glasses with the crowd with tea instead, and then, the family banquet officially began.

The steamer filled with crabs was placed in the middle of the table. Eating this stuff takes time and effort. If you start the meal, it will be cold after peeling the crabs. So Xiaoxiao wisely proposed: "Let's eat the vegetables while steaming the crabs. Halfway through eating like this, the crabs are just cooked, and we can digest them while eating."

Moreover, the heat of steaming crabs can also make other dishes cool later, killing two birds with one stone, perfect.

The emperor hadn't understood what it means to "eat vegetables while steaming crabs", and was very puzzled why the Xiao family put raw crabs on the table, so he saw Rong Yan and Xiao Ran put a small cloth bag into the large porcelain basin under the steamer, One filled with cold water and poured it in, and restored the steamer to its original state after pouring.

The emperor had a question mark on his forehead and couldn't understand what they were doing. At this moment, the steamer started to emit heat with a "chick".

The emperor's eyes widened, his face turned pale with shock that didn't match his identity.

Who's going to tell him what happened?Why does everyone seem to be surprised except him?Doesn't it seem that he is very ignorant when he exclaims at this moment?

The emperor tried his best to keep calm, wanting to eat food to suppress his shock.

Others may think that being an emperor is full of rich clothes, fine food, and delicacies every day, but in fact, because the Great Xia has been recovering in the past few years, as the king of a country, he advocates frugality and takes the lead in setting a light diet, even though his mouth has long been It was so bland, he habitually started with the most vegetarian-looking soup first.

As soon as a spoonful of soup was in his mouth, the emperor raised his eyebrows: "What kind of soup is this?"

Xiao Ran, who also drank the soup first, looked at Gu Changan, who smiled, "Clear crab soup, the soup base is made from old hen and crab bones."

The emperor quickly drank half a bowl, and then picked up another small bun.

Xiaoxiao kicked Rong Yan, and the latter reminded: "Father, the soup in the steamed bun is very hot."

The emperor stopped quickly, so as to avoid the pain of burning his mouth, but it was delicious: "Is this called Xiaolongbao?"

Rong Yan nodded: "I remember that Li's restaurant sold it, and they called it Ruyi Bao at that time."

It turned out to be this one. The emperor was very satisfied, but after eating one with restraint, he turned his target to the orange that he had been curious about for a long time.

As the Ninth Five-Year Master, of course he has eaten this stuff, although it is not as big as the Xiao family, and it is not eaten as a dish, but at this moment he is really puzzled-Gu Changan has been an imperial cook anyway, why? Will it be such a joke to serve the fruit on the table?

Noticing his gaze, Xiaoxiao simply divided the oranges on the table one by one, and then signaled everyone to open the lids of the oranges.

"Huh? What's inside?"

Gu Changan said: "Crab, this dish is called crab stuffed orange."

The emperor smiled and said, "Hey, Gu Yuchu is finally in the mood to study new dishes?" Although it sounds like a joke, fruits and crabs don't go well together, but when you think about it, the taste will be very strange. Gu Chang'an has been neglected for many years , who is unfamiliar with skills and went to the wrong side?
Gu Chang'an saluted him. The children taught by the Gu family are always well-mannered. Compared with Xiao Ran's cross-legged appearance, Gu Chang'an looked more like a courtier.

He said, "My Xiaoxiao made this."

The tone is quite proud!

The emperor thought it was understandable for him to say that it was something for children. After all, the girl was young, and she was capable of cooking some pickles.

The emperor put down the chopsticks, not intending to torture his own tongue, but seeing the other people listened to Gu Changan's words, they acted as if they couldn't wait any longer. Everyone picked up a small spoon, took a big mouthful and put it in their mouths, and then enjoyed it all over their faces. look.

"It's delicious, as expected of the daughter of my husband and I!"

Rong Yan also took two bites in a row, and gave Xiaoxiao his thumbs up.

The emperor was full of surprise, Xiao Ran was fine with it, she was not picky and protective, it was not surprising that she would talk nonsense in order to coax her daughter, but Gu Changan's obsession with cooking was so stubborn that he was speechless, no matter how hard he opened his eyes Are you talking nonsense?

Is this the daughter slave?
Thinking this way, he saw how delicious the food was, so he couldn't help but curiously took a sip—why!Why are sweet fruits so suitable to eat with crab meat?And what are the crispy white dings here?So fresh and sweet, it covers up the slight fishy smell of crab meat!

Seeing that he was enjoying his food and that he had completely lost his appearance of begging for beatings just now, Xiao Ran also started to act flamboyantly.

"Is it delicious? This is just made by my family Xiaoxiao. The Ruyi Bao was also created by my family Xiaoxiao just now. Look at this again. Have you ever seen crystal clear dumplings? This is called Crystal Shrimp Dumpling, which is also my family Xiaoxiao's idea." .”

"Oh, by the way, the newly opened refreshment shops in the capital are the ones that buy milk tea. Your Majesty has heard about it. The milk tea was also made by my Xiaoxiao first, and was later learned by those unscrupulous businessmen. , except for Li's shop, the rest of the shops in the capital are all stealing teachers, and they are all making a lot of money!"

"Also, the crab on the table has been steamed. Would you like to open the steamer by yourself and witness the miracle?"
