First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

The bone soup was simmering, and the snow-white color of the soup was already very attractive. The few firemen watching felt that their mouths were about to water.

Su Jixiang lit a new pot. There were more than a dozen pots in the imperial kitchen that could be used to cook at the same time.

She used an oil brush to pour a little oil on the edge of the pot, letting the oil flow evenly along the edge of the pot, and then stuck the pancakes that Xu Touer took out on the edge of the pot, just baking them over a low fire. These pancakes were baked before, so there was little moisture, so they could be stored and carried for a long time, but after they got cold, they were as dry as stones and could kill people. They were impossible to bite, and could only be eaten after soaking in water.

Su Jixiang took out the pancake that was baked to golden brown on both sides, then broke it in half from the middle and put it aside. She had looked at the size of the pancake first, and this size was just right for baking it very crispy.

Heat the oil in a new pan, Su Jixiang took out a can of snow-white pork from the partition under the stove, scraped a piece with a spoon and put it into the hot pan. After the oil melted, she added the chopped green onion and ginger, then poured in all the mushrooms, tribute vegetables and black fungus that she had washed, soaked and shredded, and then put in the steamed ham slices. The ham was salty to begin with, so there was almost no need to add salt. The salty fragrance of the ham mixed with the aroma of the mushrooms was very overbearing, and this stir-fry attracted everyone's attention.

"It smells so good!" A fireman stretched his neck to smell it, then couldn't help but praise it.

Su Jixiang smiled and said, "It will be even more fragrant in a while." She added the fried ham and vegetables to the broken pancake, and then handed it to the fireman closest to her, "Do you want to try it? If you are afraid that I will poison you, then I will eat it first!"

The fireman couldn't resist his craving for food any longer. The sight of the greasy dish sandwiched in the golden pancake made him drool!

"I was watching you do it, you'll be damned if you get the chance to poison me!" He muttered, snatched the pancake with ham and vegetables, and took a big bite. The pancake was baked in advance, so it was not so hot after being put aside, and with the freshly-cooked vegetables, it tasted crispy and fragrant.

After the pancakes are baked, they have the unique aroma of baked wheat, the crispy texture, the salty and juicy ham, and the mixed vegetable aroma of mushrooms, tribute vegetables and fungus. The taste is so delicious! The ham is also very chewy. Chew it hard and the flavor contained in the ham will bloom, with a special jerky aroma.

"Is it delicious?" The other soldiers who were watching couldn't help asking when they saw the fireman complaining about the heat while taking big bites of the food.

"Do you even need to ask?" another person laughed, "Look at the way he eats! I can't help it either! I'll have one too!"

After saying that, he picked up the pancake wrapped by Su Jixiang and started to eat it. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up.

"Delicious, delicious!" He nodded continuously, his cheeks bulging with food and an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Come on, take one each and try it!" Boss Xu couldn't help it any longer. Just the smell was so delicious, but he still tried to restrain himself. After all, he was the boss. He gave one to each of the remaining two people and took a bite of the pancake himself!

Fresh! Fragrant! Crisp! Crunchy! The rich taste of the food made everyone nod their heads.

These peasants had fought all the way to the capital, how could they have eaten such delicious food before? Even in the restaurants in the big counties they had conquered before, they had never tasted anything as delicious as this. That was the ham used as tribute!

"Add some more soup." Su Jixiang took the snow-white bone soup out of the pot, placed the bowls beside the pot, put some chopped green onions in each bowl, and poured the boiling soup directly into the bowls. The snow-white soup with the green chopped green onions immediately filled the room with fragrance. "It's a pity that the cooking time was a little short. It would be better if it was cooked longer."

This time, Xutou took a bowl of soup first and took a sip. As soon as the soup with a strong salty and fresh taste entered his mouth, the whole delicious flavor soothed his taste buds.

"How can it be so delicious!" Xu Tou'er's eyebrows almost dropped, and he couldn't help asking, "What exactly is that little white particle you put in there?"

"It's Yuanbao dried scallops! It's also a tribute." Su Jixiang said, "After soaking, it will be very delicious when boiled into soup."

"Wow! This old emperor really eats well!" Xu Touer had never seen scallops before. He was thankful to have enough food. Now he was smacking his lips. "Are those weird-looking rags on the table all good stuff?" He asked, pointing at the ingredients on the table that he had dug out from the warehouse.

"They are all tributes from all over the place." Su Jixiang nodded.

After hearing what Tou'er said about the delicious soup, everyone picked up their bowls again. After taking a sip of the soup, it was not only delicious, but also soothing every pore from head to toe. The soup warmed the body, especially on a snowy night like this, this bowl of delicious soup could literally save lives!

"This bite of pancake with ham and a bowl of bone soup is just delicious!" someone exclaimed.

"Alright, alright, don't just focus on eating by yourselves! Send it to General Wei and the other brothers!" Head Xu shouted, and only then did these firemen remember their duties.

Su Jixiang asked and found out that these four firemen were responsible for the food of the general and the guard team of the general. The guard team had 50 people. The other soldiers had firemen according to their different teams.

Wei Ling has been eating the same food as his guard team since he started the rebellion in Mangcheng. Even now that he has become a general, he does not ask for special treatment.

There were a little too few dishes, so he could only put a little less on each pancake. There was also not much soup, so in addition to leaving some of the thick soup for Wei Ling, Su Jixiang added some water to the pot and boiled it. Even so, the diluted soup was still delicious.

Tou'er Xu directed his four men to pack up the pots and bowls, and then used a large basket to place the pancakes stuffed with vegetables and meat, covered them with blankets, and sent them out.

"You are General Wei's firemen. Why haven't you seen your lord's firemen coming?" Su Jixiang and the others left and asked while packing up diligently.

"Of course our lord will wait until daybreak before entering the city. Our general Wei is the vanguard. When our lord and his men arrive, it won't be our turn to use the imperial kitchen." It was for this reason that Xu Touer needed the imperial kitchen's help in identifying the ingredients. Since he was here, he couldn't leave without taking some good stuff! Just grab something and give it to everyone as a snack.

Unfortunately, he had no idea about the remaining tributes in the imperial kitchen. Even if he was given them, he would not know how to cook them!
