Chapter 54 Small talk

Gu Xiang couldn't help but be stunned.

Since Duke Anguo arrived, has the kitchenette been closed long ago?

Lao Du shook his head: "The things here are very messy. I can tell you, but you must stay away from them. We are the chefs, especially the chef Gu. You are just asking County Magistrate Wang to temporarily bring him over to work. Wouldn't you cause trouble when you get involved?"

Duke Anguo, Wang Magistrate and Zhou County Magistrate, took his men to welcome the imperial envoy Liu Huang. Now, the army is in charge of affairs and is under the control of Cao Ru, the Duke of Yuhou.

In terms of identity, Cao Ru naturally cannot compare to Zhao Ying, but he is not an ordinary person. His cousin is the most favored concubine Zhang Meiren.

Although she is just a beauty now, there is a different reason here. She is a serious lover of the six palaces, which means that the harem is pink and uncolored. Beauty Zhang entered the palace at the age of eight and met Your Majesty at the age of sixteen. Since then, there has been no other beauty in His Majesty's eyes.

People say that His Majesty is good everywhere, but he just falls in love with women.

When the words reached Zhang Meiren's ears, she disagreed. This man is used to taking blame on women.

Cao Ru is also a well-known playboy in the capital, but because of his good relationship with Zhang Meiren when he was young, the power of the pillow style was unstoppable by the Censorate. Cao Ru was young and promising in Kaifeng, and even chased Zhao Ying.

In the early years, some people secretly called him Xiao An Duke, but Zhao Ying pretended not to know this person. Cao Ru was angry when he heard it. In recent years, as Mr. Cao's official position has gradually increased, few people dared to joke like this again.

A while ago, Cao Ru caused trouble in Beijing. He heard that someone almost died. A group of censors at the Censorate were impeached every day as if crazy. His Majesty felt sorry for his beauty and did not want the beauty to worry, so he handed Cao Ru to Zhao Ying, Duke Anguo, and asked him to leave the capital to experience for a while.

You can not only take advantage of some credit, but also try to change your temper.

Zhao Ying pinched her nose and took such a small foul, which was so troublesome.

The emperor said it nicely. His little cousin is still young and naughty. He is actually a good child. He had a conflict with the prince of the censor on the street, and that was just a child who played with it. It was nothing. He was allowed to avoid the limelight outside and avoid being bullied in the capital.

These days, censors are very powerful. It’s nothing he can do to make cats and dogs on weekdays. He almost took a life lawsuit in public, and the official will definitely not be able to withstand it.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Ru and Zhao Ying became a little more obedient after leaving the capital. When they arrived at Yongyi Army, they became Du Yuhou, and honestly made a decoration.

But where can the noble prince in the capital suffer the hardships in the capital?

"It was okay when the Duke of the State was there. As soon as that person left, our Du Yuhou revealed his true colors. Not only did he have to eat well and dress well, but he also had to drink and gamble. The army reopened the kitchen and cooked for him specifically. All the ingredients were specially provided."

Old Du shook his head repeatedly and said.

Since the kitchen is open, Cao Ru will definitely not be the only one who enjoys it. Many generals have changed to eating in the kitchen, and there are countless delicacies all day long.

It is said that the ingredients in the kitchen were all prepared by the generals. It can be said that the soldiers don’t know whether there is any food in the army.

In fact, the same was true before. The officers not only gave small training, they lived completely different lives from ordinary big-headed soldiers. The soldiers must have complained in their hearts, but they all felt that this was normal.

But now, as the construction period is approaching, the river embankment is not going well, everyone in the army is in danger, and the wind and wind are in a panic, even a small thing can make people irritate. Now, when you smell the fragrance of the kitchen every day, you eat like pig food, and the air naturally comes.

Anyway, the confrontation between officers and soldiers has become increasingly serious these days, and the people above may not feel it, but the soldiers at the bottom all have a premonition that the storm is about to come.

In just a short time, more than a dozen quarrels and even attacked in the army.

Three of them were quarreled in the canteen.

The soldiers were so angry that they wouldn't be furious every time they ate, and they didn't like the food in the big kitchen.

The chefs in the big kitchen worked hard to make food and couldn't even ask for good things. They even made people scold them. They would encounter a full martial arts movement from time to time, and their enthusiasm was immediately gone.

Lao Du told Gu Xiang in detail about what happened recently, and repeatedly told him: "I see that the direction of the camp is wrong. Gu Chu, you have stayed in our Huotou Camp recently, and don't go anywhere."

Gu Xiang chuckled and nodded.

The Huotou Camp is all a squad, and it is not highly valued in the army, so it is less troublesome.

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about others, we can do our own thing."

Lao Du responded and went to pick up soybeans happily.

Gu Xiang had no distractions and washed the rice by himself and boiled the porridge.

Since I bought a full porridge strategy in the mall, Gu Xiang has cooked porridge more than ten times. When I first started, I didn’t feel it, but now I have a subtle feeling in my heart.

How much water is added, how much heat is used, how long is it boiled, when will the pickled egg meat be added, and when will the vegetables be added... There is a lot of knowledge here.

It turns out that the simpler it is, the less seasoning it is, the higher the requirements for cooking skills.

Gu Xiang slowly cooked the porridge. Afeng had already helped kill fifteen big roosters and prevented Lao Du from taking action. Gu Xiang chopped it himself.

Old Du was shocked by the way. The heavy knife fell into the hands of a young woman like Gu Xiang. It was so light that it was cut off with the bones. In an instant, the whole chicken turned into small pieces. At first glance, each piece was about the same size.

Now the military supplies are becoming more and more limited. There are either meat or fish every day, or there are only one or a half points, but they must not be wasted.

Gu Xiang took the back of the knife and patted it a few times in turn, without adding salt, but only pasted some starch and massaged it gently while rinsing away the impurities and blood from the surface.

In theory, stewing chicken must be blanched. Gu Xiang’s method is different from normal, and it is also a special massage technique equipped with seasoning skills. However, water can also remove impurities and retain the umami flavor to the greatest extent.

With the massage and rinsing, a basin of chicken became visible to the naked eye. When the cold water pot rolled with rice wine, the meat became clear and beautiful and shiny, as if it could be stuffed directly into the mouth to eat.

The pot was already heated with oil. I dug a spoonful of sugar and swept it with a large shovel. I brushed the chicken into the huge pot, and gently bounced in the oil. After stirring it with a shovel, all the chicken was evenly dyed at the same time, and the fragrance exploded instantly with the heat wave.

Lao Du and a group of chefs thrust their noses and looked at each other. Although it was not easy to go over and "steal the master", they couldn't help but stumble.
