Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 45: Boiled cabbage

Rong Daquan glared at her: "The lord has hired famous doctors for the princess. Now there are five or six famous doctors living in the palace. I heard that the condition of the princess has improved in recent years. It's just hanging on to my life."

Meng Shuangshuang sighed after hearing this: "In this way, Wang Ye is very affectionate to the princess, but Princess Qi can't eat any delicious food every day, so it's really boring to be a princess. Ah! Ningxi, since that Prince Qi has helped us a lot, just think of a way to restore the princess' appetite!"

Ning Xi thought, the princess' illness, in modern terms, is anorexia, but she really has no idea how to treat this anorexia, but over the years, Wang Qi has hired famous doctors, so she should be able to think about it. The only way she can do it as a chef is to start with cooking skills and make delicious food that can truly move people's hearts.

But what to do specifically, even if she is full of Chinese and foreign delicacies, she can't do anything now.

Meng Shuangshuang is still looking at her expectantly: "How is it, Ning Xi, have you decided what to do?"

Ning Xi smiled bitterly: "You really think I'm an immortal, how many chefs in this world have cooked for the princess in the past fifteen years? If they can't do all of them, am I the only one who can do it? to?"

"But I think, Ning Xi, you are different from the chef next to you. You can definitely do it."

"How many chefs have you seen before you dare to say I'm different from everyone else? Well, I'll try my best."

At this time, someone knocked on the door: "Ning Dong's house, someone is looking outside."

Ning Xi went out and saw that it was Feng Zhihai: "Brother Feng, are you looking for me?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhihai knelt down with a "thump": "Miss Ning, please, please help me with this, otherwise I really can't live anymore."

Ningxi was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled him up: "If you have something to say, you can't live anymore?"

Feng Zhihai, a big man, cried and told Ning Xi that the restaurant of his cousin's uncle who had promised to open a restaurant and invited him to be a cook could not be opened. He had neither experience nor connections, so he could not find anyone willing to invite him. In the restaurant, his mother owed a lot of money for medical treatment. Originally, people didn't say anything when they saw that he had a job. Now that their family has no money, one or two have come to the door to ask for the debt.

In desperation, thinking that Ning Xi had said that she could come to her if she was in trouble, she had the cheek to look for her.

Ning Xi sighed: "Okay, just stay. With your current level, if you can't use the stove, just help out in the kitchen and learn something!"

Feng Zhihai was so excited that he knelt down again and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you Miss Ning."

Ning Xi hurriedly walked away, everyone in Shuangxi Tower who was used to getting along with her knew that she hated it the most, so he pulled him up: "You have to thank Ning Dong's family, just work hard, and don't do anything in the future. Kneeling and kneeling, Ning Dong's family doesn't like this."

Ning Xi thought about it for a while and said: "You go to the accountant first to advance five taels of silver to your mother to see a doctor. This money will be slowly deducted from your monthly payment. You are not busy coming to work, just be good. Take care of your mother and come back when she is sick!"

Feng Zhihai suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ning Xi, something seemed to flash in his eyes, he clenched his fists and hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything, only said: "No, I can come tomorrow. My mother has a kind neighbor next door to take care of her, and now that she has the money to hire a doctor, she will get better soon.”

"That's fine. After you come tomorrow, go directly to the kitchen to find Chef Rong and let him arrange for you what to do."

Meng Shuangshuang asked strangely: "Ningxi, who is this person? Why did you stay when you said you stayed?"

Ningxi told her: "I met this when I was taking the chef's exam. Although my temperament is a little softer, my character is still good, and my culinary savvy is also good. Now that we encounter difficulties, since we have If you can help, just help, it can be regarded as a good relationship."

Meng Shuangshuang nodded and said, "Yes, I think we had no relatives when we first arrived in the capital, thanks to the help of kind-hearted people."

Ningxi has been thinking about it for a few days, but she still can't finalize the dishes for the food conference. Thinking about it seriously, she is better than other chefs in this world. , If you make big fish and meat, let alone she doesn't want to eat it, even if she eats it, her stomach can't stand it, but when it comes to vegetarian dishes, in the past 15 years, countless chefs have offered dishes to the princess, what else is there to do? what happened?

Would you like to make boiled cabbage? It seems to be extremely light, but in fact it is hidden.

Rong Daquan said that he has attended the food conferences all these years, so he probably knows what others have done. Ningxi decided to make a boiled cabbage for him to try to see if there is a chance of winning .

Boiled water cabbage, the effort is on this "boiled water", it looks clear and transparent, like white water, but it is actually a top soup made with great effort. The top soup needs chicken, pig ham and scallops. Ning Xi has tried his best to ask around, but there is really no such thing as ham in this world. Now it is too late to pickle it now. There are still columns.

The chicken is an old hen, the pig needs the big bone, the spinal cord and the lean meat. Boil for three hours.

Ningxi also taught Rong Daquan and the others how to cook the soup. The most important thing is to be patient. It must be boiled on a low heat to keep the soup surface rolling up and down. The chrysanthemum-like water splashes are the most important. OK Do not boil it with high heat, and do not add water in the middle, otherwise, the soup will become cloudy and the original taste will change.

After the soup is boiled, it is necessary to refine the clear soup, first skim off the scum of the fat, add ginger, green onion and Shaoxing wine, simmer over low heat, and then add a small amount of Sichuan salt. Cut the lean pork and chicken breast into minced meat separately. After the soup is boiled, first put the minced pork into the soup, stir constantly, and wait for the minced meat to float with the foam in the soup, then salvage clean, repeat several times, wait for the soup When it becomes clear, add the chicken paste again, and skim off the foam again and again according to the previous method, until the soup is clear and clear, then the clear soup is ready.

Finally, put the boiled Chinese cabbage through the cold river, put it in a bowl with clear soup, steam it in a cage until it tastes delicious, and a boiled cabbage is done.

As early as when Ning Xi was cooking soup in the small kitchen, a few foodies moved by smelling the fragrance and waited outside early. When she brought out the pot of boiled cabbage, she didn't have to say hello, Rong Daquan, Meng Shuangshuang, and An Mingyue obediently took the bowls and chopsticks and sat at the table by themselves. Even Feng Zhihai, who was working on the side, couldn't help but quietly stretched his neck to see what she was doing.

Ningxi couldn't help laughing when he saw that he wanted to see but didn't dare, and waved to him: "Come and eat together."

Feng Zhihai blushed immediately: "No, no need."

Meng Shuangshuang called him: "If you want to come here, just come over, dawdling, here, everyone is like a family, not so polite."

Feng Zhihai walked over shyly.

An Mingyue said displeasedly, "Well, what are you calling him to do? It's not enough to eat, and you have to give him a point."

Meng Shuangshuang gave her a white look: "Why don't you ask Ningxi to teach you how to cook? It's just because you are so stingy that she doesn't like it, don't look at this kid who is new, you are better than others. No, look how well that cucumber is sliced."

An Mingyue said disdainfully, "What's the use of cutting it well, you can't even call me Senior Sister!"

Rong Daquan said impatiently, "Alright, alright, just say a few words less and see what delicious food Ningxi has made?"

Removing the lid of the pot, I saw a pot of clear soup and a Chinese cabbage lying flat.

An Mingyue said disappointedly: "No, you have been busy for a long time, and you boiled a cabbage with water!"

Meng Shuangshuang poked with his chopsticks: "Even if it's cabbage, it's made by Ningxi. How will you know if it's delicious if you don't try it." The cabbage was steamed softly and softly, and he picked up a piece of cabbage. , with a layer of warm luster in the snow-white, like suet white jade.

Put it in the mouth, it feels soft, glutinous and smooth, layers of taste suddenly bloom on the tip of the tongue, Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened: "God, such a rich taste is really just boiled cabbage. ?"

Rong Daquan is not as talkative as they are, he has been tasting it for a long time, and when he is intoxicated, he shakes his head: "Okay, it's really good, who would have thought that in this little cabbage, there would be Is there a future?"

Feng Zhihai excitedly said, "Miss Ning, is this dish you plan to cook at the food conference?"

Ningxi didn't answer him for the time being, but looked at Rongdao and said, "Brother Rong, do you think this dish will arouse Princess Qi's interest?"

Rongda showed a dignified expression on the whole, and thought about it seriously: "It's hard to say."

Meng Shuangshuang is not convinced: "Why not? Have you ever seen anyone who can make cabbage so delicious?"

Rongda said: "Although this cabbage is delicious, when the two of you first met, weren't you disappointed that it was just a cabbage? You must know that the princess herself has no interest in food. There is not much appeal in appearance, if the princess can't be attracted to taste it, how will she know the beauty of this dish?"

Ning Xi sighed: "Brother Rong is right, but people with anorexia are easily disgusted with the taste of food. If you want to make a food, the color, smell, and taste will satisfy the princess. It's really not easy!"

Meng Shuangshuang patted Ning Xi on the shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, Ning Xi, if you think about it, you can definitely think of a suitable dish."
