First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

While steaming the siu mai, she took out a casserole, put the shrimp heads that had been cut off and cleaned before into it, used some animal oil to boil out the shrimp oil from the shrimp heads, then took out the shrimp shells, and poured some shrimp roe that had been separated when washing and peeling the shrimp into the shrimp oil, and added a little bit of ginger and chopped green onion, and the whole house was immediately filled with fresh and fragrant aromas.

She then poured the porridge she had cooked earlier into the casserole, and soon the porridge oil mixed with the shrimp head oil, giving it a rich rice aroma.

Because the casserole was quite large, Su Jixiang peeled two cooked salted duck eggs and then mashed the oily salted duck egg yolks and put them into the pot to cook together. He also added some shrimp meat and some soaked dried shiitake mushrooms. After boiling for a while, he sprinkled green chopped green onions and added salt to taste. Then a pot of delicious salted egg yolk and shrimp porridge was ready.

Finally, Su Jixiang used the remaining meat filling and shrimp to make a basket of shrimp dumplings.

Let’s live together!

Su Jixiang looked at his work with satisfaction and asked someone to take it all out.

When she looked back, she saw two master chefs craning their necks to look at her.

Seeing Su Jixiang's eyes directed at them, they hurriedly sat down again in awkwardness.

In the Daxie Dynasty, no matter what craft one is engaged in, the most taboo thing is for someone to steal one's skills.

Su Jixiang did not cook behind their backs, but according to reason, they should have left the room to avoid suspicion. But now the two of them came to watch openly, what else could this be but stealing? If they were sent to the authorities, they would be beaten with a stick, or even sentenced to wrist and hand chopped off…

It has to be said that in the Daxie Dynasty, the law really protected intellectual property rights.

Su Jixiang smiled when he saw this and didn't want to argue with them.

"I just left some of each. Would you like to share some?" Su Jixiang took out some of the snacks and porridge she had left and greeted the two chefs.

The two were stunned, looked at each other, hesitated and didn't dare to come over.

"It's okay, help me try it and see if there is anything that needs improvement." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"That's what you said!" The two master chefs stood up and walked slowly to Su Jixiang's side.

I have to say that this little palace maid is really good at cutting. The cucumber slices she cut are so thin and neat. It would be difficult to reach such a level without several years of practice.

And the shrimp dumplings, how did she make them? The skin is so crystal clear, like a piece of paper, or like fine white porcelain, translucent and attractive, and you can see the stuffing inside. The shrimps are hunched over inside the shrimp dumplings, orange-red in color, so beautiful that it makes people reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.

The jujube paste crispy cake is golden on both sides and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Just by smelling it, the fragrance of jujube mixed with the rich aroma of sesame seeds is intoxicating!

The two chefs took a most inconspicuous steamed bun and put it in their mouths and took a bite. The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice and the freshness of vegetables instantly filled their mouths.

Just this one dessert made the two chefs look at Su Jixiang with new eyes.

After eating the steamed buns, the two of them bowed to Su Jixiang and said, "We didn't know the master's skill and were negligent." Even the imperial chefs in the palace could not make such snacks.

The two of them are chefs who came from their hometown with King Huainan, and are also well-known figures in their hometown. However, they both ask themselves whether they are as good as Su Jixiang in terms of ingredients or steaming temperature. Just taking this kind of steamed buns as an example, the skin is as thin as paper and even, and after steaming, the skin is not damaged at all and is very chewy. It is really difficult for such a thin skin to have some toughness. The skill of kneading dough has reached the extreme.

An expert can tell whether something is good or not just by taking a look. The more homely something is, the harder it is to improve. Today, they were amazed to see that this kind of steamed buns, which are very common in Huainan area, could be made into such a flavor and style.

After tasting the other snacks and the salty porridge, the two chefs were so envious that they wanted to worship Su Jixiang as their master.

Everyone in Haitangzhai sat around a large round table, drooling at the sight of the dim sum on the table and the large clay pot of porridge.

After the eunuchs serving Prince Huainan had tested the poison, Prince Huainan called on everyone to take action.

"Your Highness, this crystal-like dumpling is delicious!" Someone couldn't wait to take a bite of the shrimp dumpling, and was immediately stunned by the deliciousness of the shrimp!

"Your Highness, this steamed dumpling is crystal clear, and the fillings inside are so rich! Delicious, delicious!" Someone picked up a steamed dumpling and took a bite. The fragrance of the glutinous rice inside immediately made people dizzy.

"And this porridge! It's a delicacy!" Someone stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, tasted it, and praised it.

King Huainan also felt that today's breakfast was indeed delicious, and every piece of it made him feel very comfortable.

"Afeng, the palace maid you strongly recommended is indeed extraordinary!" said the King of Huainan with a smile.

"If it's not good, I wouldn't dare recommend it to Your Highness." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile.

Although he had a smile on his face, he felt bitter in his heart.

It's over. What if Prince Huainan decides to keep Su Jixiang in the palace?

He couldn't help but look at Wei Ling who was sitting calmly on the side.

Doesn't this guy know how to say something to help? He couldn't help but kick Wei Ling.

Wei Ling picked up a shrimp dumpling and savored it carefully. It turned out that the girl had learned such amazing cooking skills in the past few years.

"Your Highness, only this person can cure General Wei's stomach disease. I have the audacity to ask Your Majesty to place this person by General Wei's side to serve him." Seeing that everyone was praising Su Jixiang's cooking skills, Xie Yingfeng quickly clasped his fists and said.

"Don't talk while eating!" King Huainan smiled and glanced at Xie Yingfeng, "Afeng, please be patient."

"Yes, Your Highness, I have overstepped my authority." Xie Yingfeng had no choice but to stop temporarily.

According to today's morning paper, the Prince of Chenliu, who was trapped in northern Henan, sent a letter via carrier pigeon, saying that he was willing to accept defeat and submit to the government, but he wanted to keep his fiefdom and title, and not pay tribute for ten years.

In fact, the Prince of Chenliu had a clear idea. He had deep roots in Chenliu. Although the Prince of Huainan occupied the capital, the people in Daxie were now in turmoil. It would take more than ten years to stabilize everything. Moreover, Emperor Jing had already fled. Although he was extremely absurd and had caused great harm to Daxie, he was the legitimate heir after all. Since he had not abdicated, the Prince of Huainan's throne was not legitimate. Two emperors in one country? It was a joke. Naturally, there would be contradictions in the future.
