Chapter 283 Boneless Chicken Tenders (2)

The middle-aged man with a gentle appearance smiled and said, "I am not a purchaser of the Yamen."

Ji Caimai was startled when he heard this, and looked at the man with an even stranger look: "How could Caimai, who is not from the yamen, come to Zhuangzi to buy vegetables? When did the senior executives at Zhuangzi become so talkative? Will they let you in?"

Looking around, I began to look for the shadows of senior executives.

The man didn't take Shang Ji Caimai's question seriously. He just smiled and said, "I am the cook of Jingyun Hou Mansion. The Duke of the country will celebrate his birthday in a few days. The steward of the family specially went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to invite a chef."

Zhang Ling!" Having said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Shang Ji Caimai and continued to explain.

Go on, "Didn't someone buy sick poultry and livestock at the market some time ago, and eating them made the whole family sick? It would be terrible if something went bad at the birthday banquet of the Grand Duke! Yes!

In order to ensure that the ingredients for this birthday banquet are safe, the steward asked me to come to Zhuangzi to buy them!"

The explanation is very detailed, the attitude is neither condescending nor arrogant, and the causes and consequences are also explained very clearly!

Ji Caimai nodded and said, "That's it!" After that, he turned to Wen Mingtang and said, "The supply of goods in the market is uneven. Although you may not be able to find good ones, there are more bad ones! Some time ago, there were many bad ones.

There was even a smuggling of poultry and livestock infected with epidemic diseases, and as a result, the people who ate them got into trouble!"

Although he cooks in the public kitchen every day, because he does not buy the ingredients, Wen Mingtang naturally cannot know about such things, but Ji Caimai, who buys the ingredients, does!

"Compared to the market where you can occasionally find good things, things from Zhuangzi are safer!" Ji Caimai said, "After all, they are imported goods, so you need to be careful!"

Wen Mingtang nodded, convinced: "That's true!" As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the gentle-looking cook across from him a few more times. After he announced the name "Jingyun Marquis Mansion", she couldn't help but look at him.

Got up with each other.

Wen Mingtang has not completely forgotten the taste of the quite authentic bowl of hot and sour noodles that he ate not long ago. The person in front of him must be the chef that Madam Hou hired who is good at cooking Sichuan and Sichuan cuisine!

But... Wen Mingtang was a little surprised by the Mandarin that was so authentic that there was no trace of other accents! He originally thought that the cook spoke Mandarin well and probably had some accent from Sichuan, but he didn't expect it.

Can't hear it at all.

Sensing Wen Mingtang's gaze, the cook smiled at her, turned to Ji Caimai and said, "I have a cold dish that uses offal such as chicken hearts and livers. Chicken legs and other ingredients can also be used for other dishes, but chicken breasts."

Meat is not what I am good at. I originally thought that this

Things are either thrown away or just chewed and swallowed casually. I didn’t expect that you are actually good at cooking chicken breast meat, but I can prevent waste!" After saying that, without waiting for Ji Caimai to speak, he took the initiative and said, "That's right.

If you don’t need something, the price can be easily negotiated!”

I bought what I wanted at a very low price, avoiding waste. Ji Caimai was also very satisfied. The two parties agreed on the price. While waiting for the people in the village to slaughter chickens and ducks, Ji Caimai chatted with him.

stand up.

"I thought he was the newly appointed caimai of some yamen. He was originally the cook of Marquis Jingyun's Mansion! Speaking of which, we have quite a close relationship!" Ji Caimai said.

The other party was obviously a little surprised when he heard this: "I wonder which yamen Xiongtai belongs to?"

Ji Caimai glanced at the cook and said, "The public chef of Dali Temple!"

As soon as these words came out, the other party was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face turned to joy for a moment: "The second young master of our family is in Dali Temple, and my wife often says that the chef of Dali Temple is very good at cooking."

What’s her appetite?”

"Yes! Our Lin Shaoqing likes our Master Wen's craftsmanship very much!" Ji Caimai said, pointing to Wen Mingtang who was quietly listening to their conversation with a bamboo hat behind him, and said, "Our Master Wen is the one who cooks!

"

Hearing this, the other party raised his eyebrows in surprise, then hugged Wen Mingtang's fists and said, "I'm sorry! I heard that Master Wen's Sichuan cuisine is pretty good!"

Wen Mingtang returned the favor and said frankly: "To be honest, that bowl of hot and sour noodles went into my stomach. It tasted very good. I have long wanted to meet the master!"

It can be regarded as a sympathy between masters who rely on their craftsmanship for a living! The other party looked at Wen Mingtang a few more times. He originally wanted to chat with Wen Mingtang about the customs and customs of Sichuan and Sichuan, but he learned that Wen Mingtang had never been to Sichuan and Sichuan.

, I was just a little disappointed after staying in the palace and accidentally learned this craft, but I still made a verbal "appointment" with Wen Mingtang and Ji Caimai for "next time", and said goodbye to them after leaving Zhuangzi.

On the day of the Duke of Jing's birthday banquet, there were naturally a lot of people coming and going. I heard that the scene was very lively, and the rare dignitaries who were rarely seen on weekdays made the common people squatting outside the gate of the Duke's mansion watching the excitement that day dizzy!

The "Beauty Lantern" case was handed over to Zhao Mengzhuo, and they didn't need to worry about it. Lin Fei, the second grandson of Duke Jingguo, had no case, so he naturally took leave and accompanied Marquis Jingyun to entertain the distinguished guests!

The case was over, and Liu Yuan and others were "catching fish" in the Yamen of Dali Temple. They imagined that Shang Feng, who usually looked solemn on weekdays, was accompanying Marquis Jingyun and greeting people with a smile on his face.

Guests, everyone trembled subconsciously. It was really hard to imagine Lin Fei smiling and welcoming guests with enthusiasm!

Although they could not see the grand birthday banquet of Duke Jingguo's mansion, everyone in Dali Temple did not feel any regret at all. They happily ate the three meals provided by the Duke of Dali Temple's chef and picked up the story book that they had not finished reading earlier, holding a book in their hands.

What is poked at the end of the bamboo stick is the new snack served by Dali Temple's public chef today - boneless chicken tenders!

There was a long queue outside the public kitchen of Dali Temple in the afternoon!

The smell of oil, meat and unique spices permeates the air. As soon as you step into the range of this fragrance, you subconsciously take a deep breath and can no longer ignore it!

"It smells so good!" Several servants passing by took a deep breath intoxicatedly, stopped, and couldn't help but look at the public kitchen, wanting to take in the snacks being cooked in the public kitchen.

, but... looking at the crowded and crowded queue of students in front of me is a bit daunting.

"What time is it?" After swallowing, one of the clerks looked at the sundial on the side of the road and raised his voice, "It's time for class! Don't you worry about the teacher telling you if you don't have to buy snacks here?"

This little official’s intention is so obvious! Half-year-old children are not easy to deceive!

The student who turned around after hearing this squinted at the clerk with an expression that said, "I can clearly see your intentions." He snorted coldly and said, "Dr. Yu, who is in class today, also really likes the snacks made by Master Wen."

, let me bring him one later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another student on the side helped: "The first half hour of Dr. Yu's class was to check the recitation of articles. Today, the students who were selected to recite were the students from the next class, who were reciting at the moment! They also asked me to wait.

Bring some snacks!"

There are some teaching doctors in the Imperial College who are strict and some who are lenient. Dr. Yu obviously belongs to the latter.

The students refused to give up their seats! The two clerks looked up at the long queue. Fortunately, although the queue was long, it did not move slowly. After thinking about it, the two of them resigned themselves to their fate and queued at the end of the queue. They waited.

This snack is called "Boneless Chicken Tenders"!
