After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 230: Studying in the Imperial Kitchen

It's almost noon, and the imperial dining room is busy. On a row of stoves, several chefs are working hard with large frying spoons, and the large steamer next to them is steaming.The little eunuch who was doing the job was running around in a hurry.

Seeing Qingwan bringing people in, the smart little eunuch greeted her. Qingwan smiled and nodded to everyone. Her popularity seemed good.

He asked the young eunuch to find the steward of the imperial dining room and told him the purpose of bringing Lin Xiaoman here. The eunuch in charge looked a little embarrassed and said, "Seeing that lunch time is coming, can you ask Princess Qingping to wait for a moment?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "It's okay, everyone is busy, I'll look around first."

After saying that, without waiting for the steward to stop him, he walked towards the stove with his little hands behind his back.He seemed quite content to avoid the busy little eunuchs along the way.

Knowing that it was sent by the queen, the eunuch in charge couldn't stop it when he saw it.

Along the way, Lin Xiaoman had to admit that although the seasonings at this time were not as complete as those in later generations, the cooking skills of the imperial chefs were really strong. The dishes they cooked were very different from the imperial meals copied online, and even the sauces were made using many techniques. The preparation method of the material is completely different.

She really learned a lot after walking around. If she could stay in the imperial kitchen for a few more days, she would probably learn even more.

So, Lin Xiaoman happily stole the chef's chef in the imperial kitchen. When the chefs heard that the queen asked him to come, no one dared to say no.

Fortunately, although there are many people in the palace, the meals eaten by the palace people are all cooked by the eunuchs. These imperial chefs only take care of the meals of the emperor and the favored concubines in the palace, and they are all free after a while.

Lin Xiaoman then took the birthday banquet menu given by the queen and asked the royal chefs what kind of delicacies were behind these nice names.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman asked politely, and these dishes were all commonly used in birthday banquets, the imperial chefs did not hide them. Anyway, everyone can see what is in these dishes. The difference lies in how to make them. He said that even if others want to steal the teacher, they can't.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoman had also worked hard on her cooking skills at Aunt Qi's villa. She often went online to learn some, and she understood it after listening to what they said.

Except for the rarer ingredients used, nothing is too difficult. I looked at the lunch dishes just now, and they are not as crisp as the previous ones.

It's just that some cooking techniques cannot be seen just by looking at them. Lin Xiaoman decided not to say that he already understood the general idea, but to come to the imperial dining room more often. Maybe he could still cook in Aunt Qi's kitchen in the future. There are some royal meals prepared in the villa.

The imperial chefs knew that this was the princess, but they never thought that she was here to steal the chef. Ren Lin Xiaoman was watching from the side, and when asked from time to time, he would tell everything he could.

As for some things they didn't say, they thought others couldn't see through them. In fact, Lin Xiaoman had watched many videos of ancient palace meals on the Internet. There was really nothing they couldn't figure out. She even knew more than they did.

However, there were a few dishes that he had never heard of before, which made Lin Xiaoman very interested.

After the imperial chefs finished cooking today's dishes, Lin Xiaoman invited the imperial chefs over and began to ask for advice on a few dishes that he was interested in.

At first, the imperial chef didn't want to say it, after all, it was their ability to eat, but Lin Xiaoman solved their problems that had troubled them for a long time with just a few words, and in exchange, he taught them one by one willingly.

When she came out of the imperial dining room, it was already dark. Aunt Qingwan had already gone back to the queen to resume her duties. Before leaving, she left a token for Lin Xiaoman, allowing her to enter and leave the palace at will.

Lin Xiaoman was not polite. He left the palace in the evening and came to the royal dining room of the palace the next day.

Unlike yesterday when the imperial chefs were secretive when asking for advice on cooking techniques, today was just the time to finish lunch, and the imperial chefs greeted Lin Xiaoman enthusiastically as soon as they saw him. "Princess Princess, you said yesterday that the Pure White Immortal showed the way. I went back and thought about it all night. How smart does one have to be to think of stuffing cloud leg silk into bean sprouts?"

"Haha, that person is more thoughtful."

"Princess Princess, the baked snacks you taught me yesterday, who would have thought that the baked snacks would be so delicious if you beat the eggs and knead the dough without adding water? Princess, will you teach me a few more snack recipes today?"

"Chef Wei, you can add different ingredients to the baked snacks, such as diced peaches in sugar water, diced candied dates, or add some nuts. You can bake different snacks by adding different ingredients."

"Oh, the princess is still smart. How to make peaches in sugar water? The princess can tell Old Wei?"

"No, no, the princess has agreed to teach me how to make spicy fish. Don't argue with me."

Listening to the chefs with different accents competing for the right to teach, Lin Xiaoman was a little bit dumbfounded. In the end, he decided to hand over the ones he had promised to a few chefs yesterday first, and the others would talk about it next time.

Of course, in exchange, after teaching Lin Xiaoman, they also have to teach Lin Xiaoman one of their specialty dishes.

When she was sent back to her home in the evening, Lin Xiaoman learned more than a dozen dishes, many of which she had learned online before, but she always felt that something was not quite right.

After entering the palace for several days in a row, Lin Xiaoman felt that she had benefited a lot, but she had learned too much, and she was afraid that she would forget to record it immediately when she returned to the princess' mansion.

Some of the dishes are similar to some in the villa. Lin Xiaoman will also ask the chefs of the villa for advice to correct the deficiencies in their cooking techniques and the dishes that have changed in taste due to being lost.

In the past few days, Aunt Qi has seen that the chefs in the villa are all studying hard. The few dishes in the villa that were originally delicious but too high-end have appeared much more frequently.

Got a taste, huh?It's really different from what I ate before. Some of the dishes even taste completely different, but even better.

After asking, they found out that it was an improved recipe given to them by Lin Xiaoman. They followed it and found that these dishes should have tasted like this in ancient times.

Aunt Qi asked people to put these dishes on the recent menu of the villa. Although the ingredients are expensive and the price is high because it specializes in royal cuisine, it still attracts many people who are not short of money to order.Unexpectedly, after tasting it, it received rave reviews and made the villa popular again.

Aunt Qi sent a message to Lin Xiaoman to tell her about this, and she could not hide her joy in her voice. After hearing this, Lin Xiaoman became more and more eager to learn a few dishes from the chefs, and would introduce one or two dishes in the villa from time to time. It specializes in palace meals.

Well, there is also an imperial chef who is good at medicinal food. It's a pity that Lin Xiaoman has never studied medicine, so he really doesn't dare to think about it.

However, he did give Lin Xiaoman a few recipes that could be passed on to others, saying that all the nobles in the capital drank this recipe to maintain their health. After returning home, he only needed to show it to the doctor in the mansion, and he would know which recipes he could and could not eat.

Lin Xiaoman decided to keep these medicinal foods for his own use. Anyway, as long as he was not in poor health and kept eating them, it didn't matter if he made a mistake once or twice.

When she gets back, she will find someone to learn medical skills. How about she learn Chinese and Western medicine there later?You don’t have to bother others with which medicinal food you want to eat.
