Osmanthus duck[1] was made with salt water and had a smooth texture. The meat was white, shiny, fat, fragrant, fresh, tender, salty and delicious. The duck had white skin and tender meat, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, with the characteristics of fragrance, crispiness and tenderness. The salted duck made around the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, had the best color and taste, and was called Osmanthus duck. When the osmanthus duck was served, the plate was cleared in an instant. The salty, sweet and fragrant taste made people want to eat more after eating. Everyone said that it was still too little, too little.
The second hot dish was braised lion’s head[2]. When people heard this name, their first reaction was that it must be cooked with lion’s head.
“Marshal, did you find this lion?” The general who had just seen Su Yemu in the morning asked. It was not that he looked down on Su Yemu, but it was really that his small body didn’t look like someone who could beat a lion.
“Who told you it was made of lions?” He Yunting slowly ate the duck in his bowl and replied, “It is made of meatballs. If you don’t know, then read more.”
There was a snicker in the room. The general who spoke secretly gritted his teeth. The marshal was not likable at all. No wonder he couldn’t catch up with him now.
The man who stole the ship from a certain star clapped his legs and laughed.
“Haha, it’s no wonder that the chef I like dares to cook even with lion heads, hahaha…”
The red sauce lion heads appeared in front of the camera, more than a dozen in a pot, and the fragrant aroma wafted out, making people salivate.
The laughter of a certain pirate who was laughing suddenly stopped. The man scratched his head: “Hahaha…, it’s no wonder that the chef I like dared to deceive me.”
The people below: “!”
Lion heads were also known as sunflower chopped meat. They had a soft and glutinous texture, soft and delicious, fat but not greasy, and melted in the mouth. It was another dish that made people salivate.
Everyone was already impressed by Su Yemu’s cooking skills. The next drunken chicken[3] was even more amazing. The chicken soaked in wine had a strong aroma, the meat was fat and tender, and the wine aroma was strong. After eating it, it felt like being drunk.
The strong aroma of wine overflowed, and the servants who came and went in a courtyard of the palace stopped and were secretly surprised. Who dared to drink privately in the palace.
“What are you standing here for?”
Everyone turned around and saw that it was the queen. They were shocked and saluted hurriedly.
“Where did the wine come from?”
The queen frowned and saw the uneasy looks of several servants. She turned her eyes to this small room, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door. The strong aroma of wine came to her nose. His Majesty the Emperor, who claimed to be sick and wanted to go back to his room to rest, was sitting at the table and eating hard. Two servants stood beside him. When they saw the queen appear, they knelt down hurriedly.
The food on the table was obviously not made by the imperial chef in the palace. The queen thought of her son who went to the Imperial Kitchen to have the opening dinner today.
The Queen laughed in anger: “You are so capable! You said you would not eat, but you had someone send it to the palace.”
The Emperor, who was biting a chicken leg, said: It’s all He Yunting’s fault.
There were eight hot dishes in total, and the last one was steamed hairy crab[4], which was orange-yellow in color, with plump and yellow fresh and tender crab meat. With a little sauce, it was delicious.
But it was not easy to eat with all the shells. It was very troublesome.
This was for other people, but not for He Yunting, because when the sixth dish was served, Su Yemu came up. This was what Su Yemu promised him when he drove He Yunting out of the kitchen.
Su Yemu first cut off the crab’s legs, then broke the crab shell, used a spoon to loosen the roe in the shell, added a little vinegar, and then scooped it out to eat.
The taste was soft, fragrant and fresh; the lower half of the crab had its lungs and heart removed, leaving the meat…
Su Yemu was very fast, and in a short while, he had disassembled all the meat from the crab body, and the crab shell was still intact when it was placed aside.
Then Su Yemu got the crab legs, cut them into sections, and used his little finger to push the thigh meat out. This requires strength. If you don’t have enough strength, you can’t push it out. If you have too much strength, the meat will be rotten inside. It’s really hard to do without experience.
Except for Su Yemu, the crabs of the people at the table were rotten and broken. Some people were impatient and chewed them with the shells dipped in vinegar. They had good teeth and chewed them crisply. Su Yemu got goose bumps when he heard it. He was really worried that they would upset their stomachs.
He Yunting picked up a piece of crab meat, dipped it in vinegar, and handed it to Su Yemu’s mouth; Su Yemu opened his mouth and took a bite. Hmm, it was fresh and delicious.
Everyone at the table: Don’t single dogs have human rights? Oh, no, the marshal is still a single dog too! Haha!
The opening banquet was a complete success. Just as it ended, the lantern festival in the backyard of the Imperial Kitchen had also begun. It was still daytime and the lights had not been lit yet. The stalls that had been recruited had already started to set up. There were snack stalls, lantern stalls, flower stalls, mask stalls, etc. There was also a dazzling array of food. Most of the food was provided by Boss Hei.
The largest guessing stage had also begun to set up osmanthus, and it was hung with strips of signs, covered with red paper, and filled with lantern riddles. Su Yemu wrote them according to his memory, and some of them were made by himself.
Three streets were full of lanterns, and there were also giant pictures of Chang’e flying to the moon, huge lanterns in the shape of the twelve zodiac signs, and other things with Chinese characteristics. These were all recyclable materials, so there was no fear of waste.
Thanks to the current high technology, Su Yemu only drew the picture, and Boss Hei got it made in a short time, and the quality was very good.
The red streets were particularly festive. Su Yemu stood in the wing room on the second floor, looking at the scene in front of him a little dazed, as if he had returned to the 21st century.
People kept pouring in, Su Yemu was a little worried: “With such a large flow of people, will something go wrong?”
He Yunting: “Don’t worry, I have arranged people inside, nothing will happen.”
“Thank you!”
Su Yemu stretched and felt a little tired, but he still had to work hard.
After saying goodbye to He Yunting, Su Yemu returned to the kitchen and turned on the terminal.
Wow, I’m finally back.
I was waiting anxiously, Bobo, the food just now was so delicious, I must taste Bobo’s cooking for real in my lifetime.
I like braised lion’s head the most. When the name was mentioned, I was shocked. I really thought Bobo was making lion’s head! Haha!
I like crab the most, but there are too many shells.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was discussing the lunch at noon, and they were still not satisfied.
“The opening dinner is over, so let’s start the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Su Yemu took out taro: “Those who bought taro can make it with me. Announce the things to be prepared. Are you ready!”
Ready, and prepare a few more, just in case I’m not good at it.
I am clumsy and bought something and ran home to ask my mother to cook. I didn’t expect that my mother also bought it. Now our whole family is watching the live broadcast!
“Please say hello to Auntie for me,” Su Yemu said with a smile: “First, peel the taro. The skin on Xingwang has been peeled. You can just slice it directly.”
Su Yemu bought taro with skin. “The skin of taro contains strong alkalinity, which will cause itchy hands. Be sure to wear gloves.”
After peeling, he washed it, cut it into taro pieces that were two fingers wide and half a finger long, boiled water, put the taro in after it boiled, and when the water boiled and he saw the taro crack, then he added rock sugar.
“The taro will be cooked, then we will start to stir-fry the snails.”
Su Yemu took out the snails, and everyone was celebrating. They were just waiting for now.
Haha, after three days of raising them, it’s time to act.
Finally, it’s useful. This snail is not easy to come by. My brother and I fished from morning to night, and only found this little bit.
I bought it at a high price, and only bought a little bit, but it’s worth it, I can cook with Bobo.
I cried, I didn’t get it.
Haha, I found it, I secretly ran to the river near the Marshal’s Mansion to find it, luckily the soldier just carried me out and didn’t take my snails.
Everyone: Shouldn’t you worry about being scolded?
Su Yemu reminded everyone: “Even though snails are delicious, it’s not suitable to eat too much, understand?”
Got it.
Snails needed to be tailed and clamped with pliers; Su Yemu sat down on the mop chair, pulled the basin of snails in front of him, and filled another basin with clean water, while explaining and clamping.
The audience before the live broadcast took the tools they had prepared earlier with great interest and followed Su Yemu’s movements, but they found that they were too naive, thinking it was a simple thing, but they always slipped.
Ah, it hurts, my hand is pinched, Bobo is in pain.
I didn’t pinch it, I hit it.
“Be careful, when you clamp it, press the tail of the snail with the pliers to clamp it, so it won’t slip easily,” Su Yemu said, “It’s not worth hurting your hands because of stuttering.”
Worth it, worth it, it must be worth it.
If I can eat Bobo’s dishes every day, I’d be fine if my fingers were injured every day.
Tried it, it seems to be ok, I learned it.
Wow, really, it’s much faster.
Su Yemu finished a basin of snails in a short while, but someone in the live broadcast room hadn’t finished yet; Su Yemu looked around and found another basin in the kitchen. After thinking about it, he pulled it over and picked up this basin as well.
General Heka, who was outside the kitchen, looked at General Allen and saw Su Yemu picking up the snails. He shouted!
There’s food now, so he carried the snails into the kitchen.
After Su Yemu finished picking up the big basin, everyone was finally ready; he washed the two basins of snails several times, washed them and drained them.
Su Yemu prepared to stir-fry in two pots. First, he prepared the ingredients and started stir-frying the snails.
He added clean water, salt and ginger to a hot pot, brought to a boil over high heat, he then added the snails, boiled for two minutes, and removed them from the pot. He heated the pan over high heat, added a lot of oil, stir-fried the black beans, garlic, basil, dried chili and other ingredients until fragrant, then added the snails, stir-frying them continuously, and made sure to use high heat. If the pan is too hot, sprinkle water to cool it down. After stir-frying for five minutes, he then added chili oil, basil leaves, cooking wine and other seasonings, continued to stir-fry for five minutes, and then removed from the pan.
The shiny red snails and red peppers in the basin alternate, and the spicy and delicious taste gushed out, making people drool. Making them want to suck out the juice and meat, fresh and spicy, and there was a unique taste, spicy and sweet, people who ate it couldn’t stop.
It’s fragrant and spicy, and I snort when I eat it, so addictive.
Wow, throw away the spatula, I want to eat Bobo’s snails, delicious, spicy, and stimulate my saliva.
I threw it away earlier and was scolded by my mother. Unexpectedly, she also threw away the spatula and joined the army of eating snails.
This is really the first time that I drool while eating. The taste is so exciting and refreshing.
