Chapter 153 Xishi Tongue

The maid exclaimed.

The crisp sound of porcelain cracking.

There are also dishes that still have warm food on the ground.

The white cat landed lightly, and there was no apology for doing bad things in its cunning eyes. It watched the butterfly fly away, stretched out its claws, and its ears suddenly moved. A call from the shoveler from the house was vaguely heard from the distance. It glanced at the fish on the bluestone slab, ran away, leaving the ground full of mess and handed it to the maids for worry.

The maid who was circulating the food was first frightened by the cat's sudden collision. Then the porcelain fell to the ground and shook, and her mind was blank and there was no room for thinking. Until the cat ran away, eunuch Sishen caught up when he heard the sound and saw the fish lying on the broken porcelain and bluestone slabs, flowing sauce, and was shocked: "How could you be so careless!"

The maid slowly came back to her senses and breathed suffocating. This was an important dish. She was afraid that her life would be difficult to protect. Her face became pale and she quickly explained the reason: "Dadfather-in-law, I... I didn't do it on purpose!"

"Fortunately, the maid behind him stopped and did not cause a disaster, otherwise you would not be able to escape!" The eunuch accused the maid. He consciously broke into a big pot, his body shook into a sieve, and he wanted to bury himself into a quail. When he thought that he could not see the sun tomorrow, his eyes were red, and two lines of clear tears fell, and he did not dare to cry.

The eunuch Sishen saw that he did not alarm the nobles in the distance, waved his hand to let them back, and sent them back to the kitchen with the fish, directing other maids who were carrying vegetables to take another path: "Be careful, keep your steps steady, and don't be hit by the cat again!" He said to the maid who made a mistake: "What are you doing here? Take a broom and a rag to deal with the aftermath quickly, don't let the nobles get close to this side to find clues. If they get close to this side, it will cause injuries, and no one can save you. Let's watch here, go and go quickly!"

The maid nodded in a hurry: "Yes!"

When the maid came back, eunuch Sishen went to see the cloth vegetables first. The wife had already sat down to have tea and chat. There were various cold dishes on the mat. He quietly retreated and rushed to the kitchen quickly.

The kitchen chef was also waiting for Sishen. When he saw him coming, he kept scolding: "What's wrong with you? How do you return the shark? It's time to cook it. Now you go back and forth, and then you will have a fishy smell when it gets cold. Then you will take it out warmly, and the taste and smell will become worse. If the eldest princess asks me, why did I explain to the eldest princess? You are right?"

Eunuch Sishen smiled bitterly: "Stop the anger, our family is helpless. Halfway through the delivery of the food, a white cat suddenly rushed out and rushed to the maid. One of the fish was destroyed. Our family quickly withdrew all of them back to the kitchen. Please discuss whether you can make another fish?"

"Now!" The tone of the chef raised his voice, and the helpers in the kitchen looked at him, "Do you know that shads are very expensive and difficult to buy, and you can only buy shads with a weight of almost the same size. In this moment, you may not be able to buy them even if you go to the fish market to buy at a high price!"

Eunuch Sishen: "Can other fish be replaced?"

"As I said, either change all the fish to other dishes, or just stop going, tell the supervisor, and apologize to the eldest princess afterwards." said the chef.

"No, the quantity of dishes has been reported. You must change to other dishes." Eunuch Sishen said.

The bird's nest on the side of the kitchen was moved when he heard this.

At this flower viewing banquet, she was transferred to the kitchen to be adjacent to the pastry table, and was responsible for the fruits, vegetables, and dried fruits. She happened to encounter difficulties in the kitchen, but she was just a little bit light, so how should she interrupt?

This question is not necessary for bird's nest to break the brain, so the chef asked first: "You have heard it, and I won't say much. It's a mistake in the current kitchen and a challenge for our kitchen. The nobles eat happily, and this matter has been exposed; if they eat unhappy, our kitchen will also be punished. Now, we will think of it. What kind of dishes are made based on the existing ingredients in the kitchen, which are fast and short, and you can serve in advance and make the final dish in the end, and you will remember it."

Cook: "How about mussels? Roast mussels on the fire, season them with garlic when they are about to cook. They taste delicious and don't take long."

"No, the table is full of female relatives, the garlic tastes great, and some people don't like the smell of garlic." The chef retorted his cues.

You can drink tea and rinse your mouth afterwards, and the chef will whisper.

At this time, bird's nest came out to contribute to the proposal: "The mansion bought the 'Xi Shi Tongue', which is white and plump, delicious and crispy. You can use it to make melon peel Xi Shi Tongue, or other soups."

"Xi Shi Tongue" is a sand clam, neither clam nor clam, with a thick small triangular light brown-yellow shell. The white flesh spit out of its shell looks like a small tongue, and it tastes delicious. It is also blessed by the legend of Xi Shi Fan Li's failure to escape. Xi Shi bit his tongue and spitting the lake and being swallowed by the river clam. Although I don't know if it was a fisherman or a local literati and poet who gave it to the little shell in order to make it famous and easy to trade, this name does make "Xi Shi Tongue" popular in the fish market in the capital.

The chef saw that she looked at her for a few more times and asked her to continue talking.

"Bai Xishi tongue, remove the internal organs and wash it. Choose the spinach heart and scald it with boiling water, put it in the soup bowl, put the boiling soup into Xishi tongue, sprinkle with leeks and coriander after the pot is opened, and then pour it into the soup bowl. This soup is fresh and delicious, suitable for adjusting the taste during the meal, and then adding meat dishes with thick oil and red sauce."

The chef nodded.

Some people disagree, "It's better to make crabs. There are already fish as the main ingredient here and the taste of crabs with eggs, which is amazing."

"Will this remind the eldest princess of the fact that there should be a fish dish on the table, which is backfiring." Eunuch Sishen disagreed.

The balance in the hearts of the chef and eunuch Sishen has been tilted towards Xi Shi's tongue. You see, Xi Zi is as beautiful as a flower. I will introduce it slightly on the mat to nourish the yin and nourish the heart, cool the liver and brighten the eyes. The ladies must like this dish, and it is not difficult to make. It can be time to put it on the mat, so it will not cause the suspicion of the guests and the eldest princess.

After deciding on the replacement dishes, they started cooking in an orderly manner. The chef turned his hands and turned over the iron pot in the air to draw a half-arc. They wrapped them in an instant, and their parabola slid back into the pot along the arc of the iron pot. The fire also returned to the stove and could pick up the pot.

The maids took out the dishes like flowing water.

At the table, the eldest princess called the supervisor and asked him to go to the kitchen to urge him, why can't the anchovies be paid?

"It's over." The chef and the eunuch Sishang felt as if they had lost their parents when they heard this.

The manager understood the process of things and ordered: "I don't care how you cook it, this dish must be served!"

When he left, the chef and eunuch Sishen continued to worry while asking someone to buy fish.
