Chapter 19 Three Admonitions

Awei spent some time in a southern restaurant and learned several southern dishes with southern chefs, and his skills were quite authentic.

He said that the common method of cooking in southern dishes is to use mushrooms and mushrooms as side dishes and put them in the main dish for embellishment.

Cut, slice, and shredded, add some green onion, ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, and press the mushroom flavor; according to this method, mix with red and white meat, fry, cook, stir-fry, fry, blanch, steam, brais, and make soup, and you can change the dishes of various combinations!

On the first day when Awei came to Shangshen Supervisor Imperial Chef, Eunuch Hai took the opportunity to ask him to show off his skills and try it out.

In order to prevent him from getting mixed up with fish eyes and getting through the test, he deliberately asked him not to use side dishes and must make single-item dishes!

After Awei took the exam, he took a fresh and fat mushroom.

He cut mushrooms into even thin slices with a knife, each of which was about two fingers wide and thick, with dozens of pieces in number.

Then, Awei took several green bamboo sticks and weaved the bamboo sticks into two barbecue nets that were roughly in the shape of "sun".

He clamped the mushroom slices in front and back between the barbecue nets, so that the mushroom slices are close to the bamboo sticks, and tied a solid knot outside the barbecue net to fix the mushroom slices.

Awei put the bamboo stick barbecue net above the charcoal fire and roast it slowly over low heat.

He often flips the barbecue net to make both sides of the mushroom slices heat evenly.

While baking, Awei tried mushroom slices and judged the heat and cooking time.

When the mushroom slices turn from white to golden, soft and brittle, the unique aroma of mushrooms will also fade away. Awei immediately took off the barbecue net and baked it.

Outside the barbecue net, Awei prepared his secret seasoning, made of soy sauce, pepper, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, and ginger.

He poured the seasonings onto the mushroom slices between the barbecue nets, and the seasonings and hot mushroom slices quickly merged, making a "sizzling" sound.

After the seasonings wrap the mushroom slices, Awei carefully flips the barbecue net so that both sides of the mushroom slices are soaked in the seasonings.

Awei picked up the bamboo stick, turned the roasted mushroom slices out of the barbecue net, and placed them on a plate.

Because the simple barbecue net made of bamboo sticks looks like two characters "日", the name of the dish is: two-day clip.

After Eunuch Hai copied the name of the dish, he took the other dinners that night and sent them to Guanglu Temple to test the poison.

After tasting the two-day clip, the three on-duty drug testers praised it and praised it as a delicacy on earth!

Because Awei was not clean, he could not enter the palace and could only stay in the imperial kitchen to clean.

An hour later, Eunuch Hai returned to the imperial chef with great enthusiasm. He found Awei and praised proudly: "Xiao Weizi, your two-day clip... is really amazing!"

"Yeah, Eunuch Hai, look at your praise... I've said it too much, I can't afford it!"

Awei didn't know why at this time, but when he saw Eunuch Hai's happy expression, something good happened.

"After the emperor tasted it, he praised it!"

Eunuch Hai continued: "According to the same dish, the emperor must not taste more than three times; but tonight the emperor couldn't stop and ate the whole plate in one breath... and finished the whole plate in two days!"

"It's finished!" Awei said in shock.

Eunuch Hai: "Yeah, I've finished eating."

Awei: "I dare to ask... how many films are left after the drug test?"

When Eunuch Hai saw Awei suddenly looked serious, he also put away his smile and recalled seriously. Then he said, "When I was sent to Guanglu Temple, I had a record, and I had a total of ten pieces; three drug testers, one of them tasted one piece, and there were seven pieces left..."

As soon as he heard about the seven pieces, Awei felt much more relieved.

Eunuch Hai: "What's wrong? Look at you scared me!"

"Eunuch Hai, you don't know anything..."

Awei continued: "The mushroom mushrooms are known as the "Nanyang Ginseng". They have the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, calming the mind, and eliminating evil... But the only thing that needs special attention is that they have a small poison. If you eat too much, you will get angry!"

"What should we do?" asked Hai Gonggong seriously.

"The seven pieces are fine, but not too much. I heard the old chef say..."

Awei suddenly said timidly: "This so-called 'hot fire' can actually be used as aphrodisiac relief. After a yin and yang are harmonized, the fire will be discharged, and it will be fine!"

"Hahahaha...Awei, you, look at you scared me!"

After putting down the big stone hanging in the air in his heart, Eunuch Hai said relaxedly: "Don't worry, the emperor... will surely leap and show his mighty spirit tonight!" After speaking, the two laughed together.

The next day, early in the morning, Dawn brought Jiu Qiansui to the Imperial Kitchen, found Eunuch Hai and Awei, and asked who made the two-day clip yesterday?

How to do it?

After learning that it was Awei's craftsmanship, Jiu Qiansui promoted Awei to second-class sous chef on the spot and took the procurement matter!

There is also a special oral message that in the future, there must be a meal with mushrooms and mushrooms!

A Wei, who was kneeling down and listening to the oral order, immediately responded: "May...May Mushrooms are not local agricultural products, they all depend on Nanyang imports, this..."

Jiu Qiansui said disapprovingly: "I know this, so I ordered you to 'take the purchase'."

After thanking him, Awei looked proud and even Eunuch Hai had to look at him with admiration!

No one in the entire imperial kitchen could have expected that Awei, who had only been here for less than two days, had upgraded three levels in a row with a single item!

From a choreographer to a second-class sous chef!

After Master Tu learned the news, he quickly ran to Shangshen Supervisor Imperial Kitchen, concerned about this matter; he was worried that Awei was afraid that he would be promoted too quickly, and he would be sad and make regrets happen again!

Although the emperor is not afraid of being overturned in the kitchen, Awei's promotion speed is too unexpected.

After Master Tu learned the whole story, he took Awei out of the kitchen and warned him privately: "There are three things you have to keep in mind..."

Awei: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely record it."

Lord Tu: "One, Mo Qiang comes forward, everything is listened to Eunuch Hai."

Awei: "I know."

Lord Tu: "Two, don't worry about the money!"

Awei: "This...is a bit difficult..."

"What do you mean?" Lord Tu asked in confusion.

Awei: "I'm taking the procurement matter, how can I not take care of money?"

Lord Tu: "Okay, don't touch on the matter of food and money, just buy vegetables!"

Awei: "…"

Lord Tu: "The last one is to keep your mouth to death. Things in the palace will be broken into your ears and rot in your stomach. Don't spread it randomly! Do you know?"

After Awei agreed, Lord Tu left with confidence.

On the fifth day after entering the kitchen, Eunuch Hai took Awei out of the palace to purchase ingredients.

Awei is not unfamiliar with buying vegetables. He has worked in restaurants in the past and has done a lot.

He followed Eunuch Hai and his group, the spice shops in the west of the city, the goods markets in the south of the city, the fruit and vegetable markets in the east of the city, and the dry goods outside the city, all of which were changed.

Awei is familiar with all the shops in Beijing, and there are even many hidden shops in the alleys. Eunuch Hai doesn't know, but he knows it.

Having said that, there was something that puzzled Awei; it was that he could buy a whole basket of eggs with just one hanging of money, but Eunuch Hai had to spend two taels of silver to buy an egg!

When he returned to the imperial chef, Awei quietly said to Eunuch Hai: "Hai, that egg...you buy it expensive! I know an egg dealer, a whole basket, a hanging of money!"

Eunuch Hai glanced at Awei and said disdainfully: "Go and go, what do you know!"

Awei, who was ignorant, was anxious and added: "A whole basket, a hanging of money, such a cheap egg, is a fool not to be a fool!"

Eunuch Hai looked at him squintly and asked, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"No, no, no...I don't mean that!" Awei quickly slapped himself twice and apologized: "Oh, look at my mouth, you should hit me, and you should hit me!"

Eunuch Hai didn't take it to his heart, but just said earnestly: "The things in the palace are not like you ordinary people who live in their homes. You can buy wherever you are cheaper, it's not that simple."

Awei: "I would like to ask my father-in-law for advice."

Eunuch Hai: "How many shops in the capital are counting on eating in the palace? Do you know?"

Awei: "This... this little one really doesn't know."

"I don't know if I buy an egg for two taels!"

Eunuch Hai continued: "You can buy a whole basket of eggs with a hanging money, but... how many other people who sell an egg for two taels of silver are still there? How can they let you go? Can you sleep peacefully at night?"

At this time, Awei remembered his uncle's advice and told him not to care about money; in an instant, an electric current surged from his tail vertebra and rushed straight to his heavenly spirit cover, and was awakened on the spot!

Eunuch Hai continued, "I don't know how much benefit your store has given you, but..." Before Eunuch Hai finished speaking, Awei knelt on the ground and kowtowed and apologized!

"What's wrong with you?" Eunuch Hai didn't understand where Awei sang this time.

"Grandpa Hai forgives your guilt!" Awei quickly explained: "I am a young man who is a newcomer and does not understand the rules. I don't know if it blocks your way of wealth. I hope Geunuch will forgive you!"

When Eunuch Hai saw Awei's pitiful look, he smiled! He said, "I thought what's wrong with you? It's okay, get up and talk."

When Eunuch Hai saw that Awei was a piece of material, he was good-natured and knew what to do, so he accepted him as his godson! Awei was also very conscious of the current affairs and immediately changed his words to him: Dad Hai. From then on, the two of them called father and son in the imperial kitchen.

With the protection of Eunuch Hai, and Awei was wearing the second-class sous chef's rank, he was responsible for purchasing. In the imperial kitchen, it can be said that the Red Army was walking horizontally, like a fish in water.
