Chapter 241 The Almighty Princess
The menu was sent to the small kitchen, and Lin Yue decided to practice cooking with the existing ingredients in the evening. Yuwen Feifei was very happy when she heard that. Not only could she taste the delicious food in advance, but she could also learn from her. So she insisted on cooking with Lin Yue and helping her.
Lin Yue was helpless. Everyone in the small kitchen stood aside respectfully, not daring to make a sound. They were uneasy and panic-stricken. But they had never seen the master of any family cook by himself. Their princess was simply too down-to-earth!
What surprised them the most was that the princess didn't seem to be just there for show. She could tell what was in the kitchen at a glance, not to mention the ingredients.
I've heard for a long time that the princess was born into a commoner family and could live in a village at the foot of the mountain. She's not some lady from a wealthy family who has never been involved in worldly affairs. Now it seems to be true!
Despite her background, no one in the mansion dared to gossip about her in private, and no one dared to look down on her. This only showed that Madam Ge was a good ruler.
Lin Yue has a deep understanding of this.
Only Yuwen Feifei, when she entered the kitchen, was a little hesitant. She touched here and looked there, completely showing the nature of a noble princess who had never cooked before and found everything new to her.
"Sister Yue, what can I do for you?"
Lin Yue took one look at her and knew that she had never been in the kitchen.
"Can you cut vegetables?"
She shook her head.
"Can you wash the vegetables?"
She was about to shake her head, but then she thought washing vegetables should be a simple task, so she nodded again, "Washing vegetables should be no problem!"
Lin Yue smiled, knowing that she really wanted to help, but her ability was indeed limited.
She asked Aunt Ji, who was in charge of the kitchen, to give her a basket of vegetables for her to wash.
For dinner, Lin Yue planned to make twice-cooked pork, chopped pepper fish head, Maoxuewang (Chinese herbal medicine with preserved vegetables), and boiled beef. However, oxen were not readily available in ancient times, as they were important agricultural helpers for the common people and the labor force of agricultural civilization! They were protected by law!
Therefore, Lin Yue decided to boil fish fillets instead of boiled beef.
It just happens that one uses the head and the other uses the body of the chopped pepper fish head, so the big fish in the tank is perfect.
Seeing that Lin Yue was going to kill the fish, the chefs didn't dare to trouble her. Aunt Ji also realized at this time that the princess really wanted to cook herself, so she quickly stopped Lin Yue.
"Princess, whatever ingredients you need or what you require, we will prepare them for you. You can direct them from the side! Just leave the preparation to us!"
Lin Yue naturally would not refuse, so she told them how to prepare the food and took charge. The kitchen suddenly became lively and everyone felt relieved. They let the master cook while they watched, which was a more tiring job than cooking!
Yu Wen Feifei held the vegetables and looked left and right, thinking that he should wash them just like washing other things!
When she finished washing and showed it to Lin Yue, Lin Yue almost laughed.
"Come, I'll teach you how to wash vegetables. You need to break off the leaves one by one and wash away all the dirt on them."
Lin Yue demonstrated as she spoke, and Yuwen Feifei suddenly understood.
"So it's so easy! It's not difficult at all!"
"Well, it's not difficult at all. After you wash the vegetables, you can watch how others prepare them."
The seasonings in the big kitchen were all provided by Lin Yue, which can be said to be very complete. Therefore, when a dish was prepared, Lin Yue would just watch if it had been made by the chefs. Only if it had not been made by them, Lin Yue would start cooking herself.
Yuwen Feifei watched from the side and admired Lin Yue's all-round ability in her heart.
Those slender hands that could heal people flew up and down, and there was no sense of incongruity when they cooked.
The chopped pepper fish head is steamed, which requires a lot of green and red peppers. Lin Yue took out some vermicelli from the space while no one was paying attention, soaked it quietly aside, and put it under the fish head after it was softened and steamed together.
After all, she had already brought out sweet potatoes in Yejia Village. She believed that the people in Yejia Village had already eaten this delicious food and had a ready-made source.
Aunt Ji was even a little puzzled. When did this thing appear in the kitchen? But her attention was focused on other things and she didn't bother to check it carefully.
Boiled fish fillet is also simple, but it would be more perfect if there were soybean sprouts. Lin Yue decided to go into the space later to grow some soybean sprouts herself. After all, without them, she always felt that the boiled fish fillet dish was soulless. There should be enough time in the space to grow some small soybean sprouts.
The existing ingredients include tofu, bean curd sheets, winter bamboo shoots, lettuce, mushrooms, etc., which are already rich enough!
Fry the side dishes until cooked through, then remove them and place them on the bottom. Then put the fish fillets marinated with egg white in and cook them very quickly. Place them on top of the side dishes and pour the soup into a large bowl.
"Sister Yue, this dish looks very rich and must be delicious."
Yu Wen Feifei had never seen this dish before, but she felt it would be delicious. The white fish fillets looked very tender.
"There is one last step that is crucial."
As she spoke, she fried the dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns in a pan, then chopped them up with a kitchen knife. The kitchen was immediately filled with a very tempting aroma!
"This is called knife-edge chili. It's fragrant but not spicy. It's the fragrance that matters!"
As she spoke, she placed the knife-edged chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns on top, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, minced garlic and green onions, and poured the oil used to fry the chili peppers on top. With a "sizzle", the aroma immediately made everyone start swallowing their saliva. It was so fragrant!
As Lin Yue prepared this dish, everyone in the kitchen watched, not missing a single step. This was a trial for tomorrow's family dinner, so she explained it to everyone as she went along. The chefs were all experienced, so they'd memorized most of the recipe after just one look. They'd just have to wait until the next trial to figure out any shortcomings! Soon, the princess wouldn't have to cook for them herself!
"This dish tastes spicy, tender, and easy to chew. The fish is tender and the vegetables are fresh. The soup is red and shiny, and the spicy flavor is strong. It goes well with rice!"
As soon as Lin Yue finished speaking, she heard the four men calling her.
"Mother!"
"Mom! We're back!"
"Mom! What delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"
Ye Yin and his four companions smelled the fragrance from a distance. When they heard that Lin Yue was in the kitchen, the four companions knew that their mother had cooked for them today, so the five of them, father and son, came to the kitchen on their own accord!
"Wow! Mom made fish fillets today!"
Silang danced with joy. They had eaten the fish fillets made by Lin Yue before, but it had been a long time. The tender and smooth taste was unforgettable. Although what he saw today was a little different from before, it looked very appetizing!
"Well, there are still many delicious foods!"
Lin Yue was finishing up the other dishes while talking. However, most of the dishes she tried today were a bit spicy. The four men could only eat a small portion. Eating too much would be bad for their stomachs, so she asked them.
"Is there anything else you want to eat?"
