Chapter 324 Cooking in person
At this time, Lu Tingyan, who was busy in the kitchen, had no idea what was happening outside.
Lu Tingyan rolled up her sleeves and began to prepare sumptuous dishes for Lin Yue and Jun Moyuan.
She first prepared the sauerkraut fish. She fished out a big, lively grass carp from the water tank, skillfully knocked it unconscious, scraped off the scales, and removed the internal organs. After cleaning it, she cut the fish meat into evenly thin slices and chopped the fish bones into small pieces.
Bihe helped pass the seasonings, while Luzhu watched Lu Tingyan's actions curiously.
She skillfully picked up a piece of fish fillet, carefully placed it in a bowl, and then added salt, wine and other seasonings in turn. Her technique was gentle and precise, as if every step had been carefully considered.
"Wow, girl, you are so skillful." Bihe said in surprise.
Lu Tingyan smiled and said, "I've done it many times before, so I'm naturally proficient at it."
Lu Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Girl, why do you want to pour the wine?"
Lu Tingyan smiled and explained: "This wine can remove the fishy smell and make the fish meat more delicious!"
Luzhu nodded as if she understood, but her eyes were still fixed on the fish fillet in Lu Tingyan's hand.
Bihe also came over and asked curiously, "Is it really that magical?"
Lu Tingyan smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Just wait and see how it tastes later." After that, she continued to process the fish fillets attentively, making sure that each piece of fish was fully marinated.
Then, she started to stir-fry the sauerkraut. After the oil in the pan was hot, she put in the chopped sauerkraut and stir-fried it quickly. The aroma of the sauerkraut instantly filled the entire kitchen.
"Bihe, pass me the dogwood and Sichuan pepper." Lu Tingyan shouted.
Bihe quickly handed the things over. Lu Tingyan put the dogwood and Sichuan pepper into the pot and stir-fried them instantly until they brought out the fragrance. Then she added an appropriate amount of water, and secretly put in some spiritual spring water, then put in the fish bones and cooked until the soup turned white.
"Lüzhu, watch the fire." Lu Tingyan ordered.
Luzhu nodded nervously, his eyes fixed on the stove.
After the soup was cooked, Lu Tingyan carefully put the fish fillets into the pot one by one. The fish fillets rolled in the pot and soon became as white as jade.
"Okay, the pickled fish will be ready soon." Lu Tingyan opened the lid of the pot and said with a smile on her face, "Just wait a little longer, and you can enjoy the delicious pickled fish!"
At this time, the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma that made people salivate. Bihe and Luzhu stood aside, staring at the fish in the pot, and couldn't help swallowing.
Bihe asked curiously: "Girl, why does this fish smell so good when cooked? I have never smelled such an enticing smell."
Green Bamboo also agreed, "Yes, girl, it smells so good. Did you add any special seasoning?"
Lu Tingyan smiled and explained, "The reason why this dish is so delicious is that in addition to fresh ingredients, it also requires some skills. First, you have to choose high-quality sauerkraut, then stir-fry it with hot oil to bring out the aroma, and then add the right amount of seasoning. This will allow the fish to absorb the sourness and aroma of the sauerkraut while maintaining a fresh and juicy taste." As she spoke, she stirred the soup in the pot to ensure that every piece of fish was evenly heated.
At this time, the people waiting outside the kitchen were also talking outside.
"Is this Miss Lu any good? She smells nice, but I hope she's not good-looking enough to eat." An elderly chef said with a frown.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very picky taste. If this doesn't taste good, we will be in trouble too." Another young chef echoed worriedly.
A cook came over and said in a low voice, "I think Miss Lu just wants to show off in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The cooks nearby also nodded and started discussing the matter.
"What do you think? If Miss Lu messes up, will she blame us?"
"Who knows? We'd better be careful."
