Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 173

After studying it for a while, they all felt that the taste was so strong that they couldn't swallow it at all.But after hearing what Feng Yao said, it seemed extremely delicious, so they all looked at her expectantly and said.

Feng Yao smiled and nodded: "Okay." She looked around the kitchen, "Prepare me two pieces of tofu and one piece of fish."

Mapo tofu and boiled fish are Fengyao's first battles with chili.

"Okay!" Soon a chef cut tofu cubes, put them on a plate and put them on the chopping board.

Feng Yao picked up a few sun-dried peppers, washed them and drained them, put them on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife and chopped them up.Glancing at the tofu, he said, "Blanch the tofu in boiling water first."

"Decree!" The cook began to boil water.Fill the bottom of the pot with two handfuls of firewood, then pour two scoops of water into the pot, and sprinkle a little salt into the water to make the tofu less fragile.

Feng Yao withdrew her gaze in relief, and began to chop the peppers carefully.

Another cook picked up the fish, cleaned it, put it in a basket, and asked, "Madam Feng, what do I do with this fish?"

Feng Yao looked up and said, "Scrape the scales to remove the internal organs, chop off the head and tail, then cut the fish fillet in half along the spine, and then cut into moderately thick fish fillets. Cut the shaved fish bones into small pieces , then chop the fish head in half, and that’s it.”

This order made the cook startled: "So complicated?"

Nowadays, fish is eaten either whole or stewed in pieces.It's the first time I've heard of it being sliced ​​into pieces like Feng Yao said.

Feng Yao smiled and said: "Master, work hard, if it doesn't taste good after a while, I will apologize to you."

"Haha, good!" The cook was also very cheerful, and immediately started to pack the fish.

After Feng Yao finished chopping the chili powder, she washed some half-dried chili peppers, cut them into small pieces and put them in a bowl, waiting for a while to make boiled fish.

After finishing these, the other two cooks also finished the tofu and fish fillets, Feng Yao couldn't help but admire and said: "The skills of the two masters are really neat!"

One of them laughed and said, "Haha, otherwise Lao Fang wouldn't pay us wages!"

Provoking Wen Renyu to laugh and scold again: "Who doesn't pay you wages? Yao'er praised you, but you all took it seriously. You are so old and thick-skinned!"

Several people laughed.

With a room full of chefs as helpers, Feng Yao quickly finished both dishes.A bowl of mapo tofu, the red soup is very rich, holding pieces of golden tofu, sprinkled with a layer of green onion, very attractive.

In a bowl of boiled fish, a large amount of pepper and chili slices almost completely submerge the fish, only a few pieces of fish float up, and the delicate texture attracts people to taste.

There was a lot of choking in the kitchen, and everyone couldn't care less, excitedly said: "Try it!"

Feng Yao smiled and took out a few pairs of chopsticks from the chopsticks cage, and handed them to several chefs respectively: "The taste is a bit off-putting, masters, please be careful."

After tasting mapo tofu and boiled fish, several chefs were so hot that they gasped, and even one chef blushed and sweated, but they all said in unison: "Good stuff!"

Such a spicy taste, so different, it is a good meal for those who have a bad appetite.For those who love food, it is a rare delicacy.

"It's completely possible to start a new cuisine!" Wen Renyu was so excited that the fat all over his body began to tremble a little, which was indescribably funny.

The room was full of people, but no one was laughing at him. At this moment, everyone's faces were full of excitement—yes, a new cuisine!
As a chef, what is the highest honor?It is nothing more than creating a new cuisine and carrying it forward!Although this cuisine was initiated by Feng Yao, it will be carried forward in their hands!
Thinking of this, the chefs became more and more excited.

"Yao'er, you discovered this seasoning, so it's up to you to name it!" Wen Renyu looked at Feng Yao eagerly.

Feng Yao lowered her head and lowered her eyes, but at this moment she thought of her friend, Chu Rouran, who lived in that world far away in time and space.Mapo tofu is Chu Rouran's favorite food. Feng Yao thought about it and said, "Let's call it 'Chu Cai'."

Wen Renyu was a little stunned: "Yaoer, what is the reason for this 'Chu cuisine'?"

The other cooks were also puzzled, thinking that Feng Yao would name it "Feng Cai" after her own surname.

Feng Yao smiled lightly and said, "To commemorate a friend."

Wen Renyu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and said with some regret: "Yaoer's friend is gone, isn't he?"

"No." Feng Yao shook her head, thinking of Chu Rouran's fangs and claws, she couldn't help showing a smile in her eyes.In the whole organization, Chu Rouran is the most cunning, just like the Nine Lives Cat Demon, she won't die even if anyone dies.He said, "It's just that I can't see it anymore."

Wen Renyu misunderstood, and immediately smiled and said: "Is it lost? Yao'er, why don't you draw that person's appearance and ask the master to send someone to look for him. Since he is still there, we will meet again one day."

Others nodded one after another: "Yes, Mrs. Feng might as well name it after my own name."

Wen Renyu insisted and said: "Very true, it was Yao'er who mentioned it. Besides, you and that friend are separated, right? Why don't you name this dish after your surname, and wait until our dish is popularized? Maybe if she got it somewhere, she will know it's you and come to meet you again?"

This advice made Feng Yao stunned for a moment, and her heart throbbed uncontrollably.

That's right, she was shot dead by Shen Congzhi's men, but she didn't die, but came here through time travel.When Chu Rouran dies, will she also travel here?

Immediately, there was a thud in the chest, and I couldn't help being extremely excited: "Okay, let's name it 'Fengcai'!"

Finally finalized, Wen Renyu and several chefs continued to study the dishes.Feng Yao was left standing where she was, staring at the two glowing red dishes in a daze.Perhaps, there is really a chance to meet again in this life.

Wen Renyu and several cooks held the peppers to the side, chattering and studying.Feng Yao was stunned for a while, then put away her thoughts.It would be best for Chu Rouran to come here, if not, she will live on for Rouran.Whatever Rouran likes, she cooks them all and promotes them as the most popular delicacies.

Thinking of this, Feng Yao smiled slightly.Anyway, there's always hope, isn't there?Then he walked to the cabinet, took a clean plate, picked up a small spoon to scoop up some mapo tofu and boiled fish, and took it outside.

Doudou hadn't been sitting there, but started playing with the boys in the Wuyou Building.Because Doudou comes here often, and Doudou is born handsome and graceful, and has a soft and kind temper, so she is very attractive.The boys here all like Doudou, so they all call out "Little Master" one by one, teasing him to play.

"Doudou, are you tired from running? Come and sit down and drink some water." Feng Yao sat by the window and raised her hand to greet Doudou.

When Doudou heard Feng Yao calling him, she said to the boy who was teasing him: "Brother, my mother called me, I will play with you later."

"Yes, the young master can call me whenever he wants to play." The boy smiled and said, "I promise to be there whenever you are called."

Feng Yao saw that he was so enthusiastic, so she pointed him out: "Go quietly to the kitchen, don't let your shopkeeper find out, there are two delicacies on the chopping board, just try them."

Hearing this, the boy's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands to thank Feng Yao, and immediately went to the kitchen quietly.Feng Yao pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to beckon Doudou, took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Linglong's nose for him.

Doudou had already smelled the fragrance, and even though she was held in Feng Yao's arms to wipe off her sweat, her big black eyes looked sideways at the dishes on the table from time to time.

Feng Yao laughed and said, "Doudou want to eat?"

Doudou nodded again and again: "Yes. Mother, is this the delicious food you mentioned just now?"

Feng Yao nodded: "That's right. Do you dare to eat Doudou?"

Doudou asked strangely: "Why don't you dare?"

"Okay, then Doudou will try this." Feng Yao smiled and pointed to Mapo Tofu.

Doudou broke away from Feng Yao's arms, sat on the chair opposite, grabbed the spoon with her little hand, took a bite of a piece of tofu and brought it to her mouth.Just about to open my mouth to swallow it, suddenly the aroma of mapo tofu rushed into my mouth, and somehow I wanted to cough.He held back, and then held his breath and took a small bite. Suddenly, a fresh, spicy taste filled his mouth.

It was hot, hot and numb, and Doudou couldn't tell what it was like, but just inhaled repeatedly, unable to take a second bite.

Feng Yao looked at Doudou with a tangled face with a smile, and she didn't feel wronged at all about bullying her son: "Don't Doudou dare to eat it? Come on, open your mouth wide and swallow it in one gulp."

Doudou said with a bitter face: "Mother, this..." He racked his brains to think of words, but he couldn't think of words, so he looked at Feng Yao pitifully, "Can I eat in small bites?"

Feng Yao couldn't help laughing, she quickly poured a glass of warm water, and fed it to his mouth: "Mother didn't force you to eat, if you don't want to eat, just don't eat."

Doudou let out an "um" and drank half a glass of water with Feng Yao's hand, only to feel better.But at this time, I couldn't help but want to eat that mapo tofu again.

Looking at his troubled little face, Feng Yao was always amused, then pointed to a few pieces of boiled fish on the other side of the plate, and said, "Try this again, Doudou."

Doudou moved his eyes and landed on the boiled fish, but suddenly raised his finger to the undrained peppercorns on the boiled fish fillet, and said, "I remember this!"

When I went up the mountain with my mother for the first time, Doudou saw it was fun, so he licked it.Immediately, it was as if many small insects were biting their tongues, so I remembered it very clearly.Later, Feng Yao took Zanthoxylum bungeanum for cooking, and Doudou could always distinguish it clearly.

At this moment, he moved his eyes, pointed to the small red section next to him, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, what is this?"

"This one, you will cry if you eat it." Feng Yao said with a smile.

Doudou opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't say it in the end, but he remembered that just now he was almost burned to death.He just scooped up a piece of fish, brought it to his mouth and ate it in small bites.

Feng Yao reminded from the side: "Be careful if there is a thorn in it, first squeeze it with the tip of your tongue, and then swallow if there is no thorn."

Doudou nodded, carefully licked out the small thorns, and slowly ate the piece of fish into his stomach.Because I just started with mapo tofu, I don’t feel too sad about eating boiled fish this time. I just think it’s delicious, and I want to eat another piece after eating it.

Seeing that Doudou likes it, Feng Yao will not stop him, so she said: "If you feel spicy, drink some water."

Doudou nodded and continued to eat excitedly.
