Chapter 324 Are you giving too much?

"I wonder if it would be too much if I fry another fried chicken in addition to these?" Li Mumu asked again.

"No, no, the saint is missing this bite of fried chicken." Eunuch Hu said quickly.

Li Mumu has been away for nearly two months.

Before leaving Beijing, the saint had been missing fried chicken for a few days and had been enduring it.

Finally, she didn't want to endure it anymore and wanted to indulge in some indulgent food. Unexpectedly, Li Mumu closed the shop and went to the border.

This journey lasted nearly two months.

The fried chicken restaurant has also not been open in the past two months.

The saint had been thinking about it for so long, and his desire for fried chicken had reached its peak.

But the saint did not urge Li Mumu yesterday because of his face.

He was thinking that since Li Mumu is back, why should he reopen the fried chicken restaurant today?

So during lunch, while eating a piece of chicken, the saint pretended to casually think of Li Mumu's fried chicken restaurant, and asked Pan Lunchi, "Jianing County Jun's fried chicken restaurant is open today, right? It's close." It hasn’t been open for two months, but it’s reopening today. How is the business?”

"I don't know. I will ask someone to take a look."

Therefore, Pan Lunchi quickly asked Eunuch Hu to come out of the palace to see.

Unexpectedly, when Eunuch Hu came over to see, Li Mumu's fried chicken restaurant hadn't opened yet.

If I tell the saint this time, he will definitely be disappointed.

Eunuch Hu didn't follow Pan Lunchi in vain, and he did learn a lot.

Eunuch Hu quickly came to Gu Zhai and waited for Li Mumu to come back, and asked Li Mumu carefully.

"County Lord, can my slave help me in the kitchen?" Hu Gongzheng said, "My slave will definitely not steal from you."

Li Mumu smiled and said: "There is no need to help, there are servants in the kitchen. But it is better to let Eunuch Hu watch from the side. After all, it is for the saint to eat, so you need to be more careful."

Eunuch Hu also meant the same thing, but he was also really curious about what Li Mumu was talking about, so he went to the kitchen with Li Mumu.

"Originally, I wanted to make some new dishes today to try." On the way to the kitchen, Li Mumu said to Eunuch Hu, "So I had people steam the sweet potatoes, taro and potatoes in advance."

"It should be almost done steaming by now."

When the two of them arrived in the kitchen, the sweet potatoes, taro and potatoes were already steamed.

Li Mumu asked someone to take it out.

Grind these three items into a paste, and add some lard and other seasonings to it.

Li Mumu asked people to grind these three items into mud and then roll them into balls.

Now that there are many servants at home, there are also more servants in the kitchen.

It's not like before when there was only one cook and Gu Mian to help.

Now the cook still stays in the kitchen, and there is a new cook who divides the work with the cook.

Even if she is trying to make new dishes, Li Mumu does not need to prepare these preliminary preparations by herself.

Everyone has been prepared, and Li Mumu only needs to do a few key steps.

This is food for saints, and Li Mumu can't just order others to do it. After finishing all these, Li Mumu flattened the taro balls with her palms, wrapped the sweet potato balls in them, and placed them on the panel to make them round.

After each one is done, coat the outside with a layer of flour.

Then press the mashed potato balls into a round shape, and use chopsticks to point out the eyes and smiling mouth on the top.

This is the smiling hash brown of later generations.

With the last taro paste pie left, Li Mumu wrapped the prepared taro paste into the dough, rolled it into a square, sealed both sides, and brushed it with egg wash.

Then put it into the pot and fry it together with the taro mashed sweet potato balls and smiling potato cakes.

Li Mumu took out the fried food, put it aside and filtered the oil on the surface again, otherwise it would be too greasy.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Mumu fried fried chicken again.

After these were fried, they were wrapped and handed to Eunuch Hu, "Although these are delicious, fried food is ultimately harmful to health, so I ask the saint to eat less."

"The servant will tell the saint that there is an imperial doctor who asks for Ping'an Pulse every day and will treat the saint in time." Hu Gongzheng said, "But, County Lord, are you giving too much?"

Li Mumu said with a smile: "These have not yet entered the store and started to be sold. The only portion is for the saint to eat first. If it is given to Eunuch Pan and you, the saint will inevitably feel that he is not the first to taste it, and he will feel unhappy. , so I didn’t give you a separate package.”

"There are so many of them that the saint can't eat them all by himself." Shouldn't the rest be given to Eunuch Pan and the others?
Eunuch Pan and others tasted it, and the saint was the first to taste it.

Eunuch Hu was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that Li Mumu was still thinking about them.

Even he himself never thought about taking the opportunity to try it. He thought that when Li Mumu's fried chicken restaurant reopened, he would find an opportunity to go out of the palace to buy some and go back to honor Pan Lunchi.

But he didn't expect that Li Mumu not only thought about their share, but also thought so carefully to avoid the saint's displeasure.

"My servant, thank you so much, Lord County." Eunuch Hu said hurriedly.

Eunuch Hu returned to the palace satisfied with what Li Mumu had done.

"How's it going?" As soon as Eunuch Hu returned to the palace, Pan Lunchi asked hurriedly, "Hey, what's the smell? It's so fragrant. Is there a fried chicken shop open?"

"No, the county master said that he would research new products and open the store the next day. The new products will be available at that time." Hu Gonggong said, "But today, the county master has made the new products in advance and asked me to bring them back to the saint to taste."

Pan Lunchi saw the many bags in Eunuch Hu's hand and was surprised: "So many?"

Eunuch Hu whispered in Pan Lunchi's ear and explained, "This is what the county prince said."

Eunuch Pan's eyes were filled with joy, "The county king has always been thinking about us."

"Come on, come with me and deliver them to the saint." Pan Lunchi took Eunuch Hu and put them on a plate first, and then asked Si Shan to record them.

Pan Lunchi first asked Eunuch Hu to wait outside, and then he came to the saint and said, "To inform the saint, I asked Hu Guanghai to go out of the palace to inquire about the situation of Jun's fried chicken restaurant in Jianing County. He is back now, and he also took the county Jun’s newly developed food.”

"Oh? Let him come over." The saint said.

Eunuch Hu brought the food to the saint's table.

The sage smelled the fragrance and asked, "What are these?"

"Back to the sage, these are the newly developed dishes by the county king. These are taro and sweet potato balls, which are steamed with taro and sweet potatoes, ground into puree, add seasonings, roll the sweet potato puree into balls, wrap them in the taro puree, and then Coat them in flour and fry them in a pan.”

"These are hash browns, which are made by grinding potatoes into puree and then shaping them into cakes. I saw that the county gentleman poked eyes and a smiling mouth on the cake, as if the hash browns were smiling. The county gentleman said, this hash browns His full name is Smiling Hash Brown."

"This is a taro pie. I saw the county master grinding the taro into a puree, adding seasonings, wrapping it with bread, and frying it in a pan."

"It sounds like a simple method, but I didn't expect it to be so sophisticated." The saint looked at what he saw in front of him curiously.
