Adorable Food Goddess

Ye Jiayao thought it was Zhao Qixuan's treat again today, and went up to toast after the dishes were ready, but Mu Qinchu and Wei Liujiang were also there.

"Li Yao, I was just looking for you. I already got the ice ticket you mentioned yesterday." Mu Qinchu said positively, as if he was very close to Ye Jiayao.

The corner of Ye Jiayao's mouth twitched, a half-smile: "So fast?"

Mu Qinchu stabbed Wei Liujiang, and Wei Liujiang hurriedly took out a stack of ice tickets to Ye Jiayao.

In the original owner's mind, this man who had always been gentle and elegant, as elegant as a Lanzhi jade tree, was presenting the ice ticket with both hands in front of her with a flattering smile.

I don't know how the original owner will feel when he sees him like this.

Ye Jiayao Shi Shiran took it and counted it: "Why is it only five hundred catties?"

Mu Qinchu said: "It's not easy to get a thousand catties at a time. I'll get you another five hundred catties in a few days."

"No need!"

He Lianjing and Xia Chunfeng actually spoke in unison.

Xia Chunfeng coughed twice, motioning for He Lianjing to speak.

He Lianjing refused to give up, and said: "Li Yao, tell me how much you need, and I will get you as much as you want."

With such a trivial matter, is there still a need to ask the guy who "doesn't know"?

Xia Chunfeng took the opportunity to tease Mu Qinchu: "What a big deal, isn't it just a thousand catties of ice? You can't even handle this."

Mu Qinchu's face was full of blood, and his teeth were itching with hatred: You people who eat food and don't care about things, you speak lightly. If you have the ability, you go and fix it. I have suffered a lot for just these five hundred catties of ice. It took a training session to get it.

Ye Jiayao smiled, of course she believed that Xiaojing could get the ice cubes, but it was blackmailed from Mu Qinchu, and he couldn't get any cheaper from that guy, so she said, "Let's wait a few days, but the ice cubes are It is for the birthday of the old concubine of the Helian Palace, so I dare not delay."

Mu Qinchu's heart trembled. It turned out that it was for this purpose, so he would have to get the remaining five hundred catties.

"It's been hot recently, so ice cubes are in short supply. However, I will definitely get them as soon as possible, and will never delay the old concubine's birthday banquet." Mu Qinchu hastily promised.

Zhao Qixuan signaled a nobleman sitting beside him to give up his seat, and greeted Ye Jiayao: "Li Yao, sit down and have a drink together."

Those young masters who don’t know Li Yao well are all smacking their tongues. They usually seem casual when they drink and have fun together, but they always pay attention to the arrangement of seats, and they don’t dare to presume at will. It's Xia Chunfeng and Zhao Qixuan, no one has any objection to this sorting, after all, they are distinguished, but Zhao Qixuan actually let this cook sit next to him, isn't it too strange?

The one who was most shocked was Wei Liujiang, this Li Yao was definitely the best cook, and he had such a strong relationship with a group of princes and princes, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a fairy tale.

However, something even more eye-popping is yet to come.

He Lianjing kicked Zhao Qixuan: "Get out of the way, Li Yao, sit here."

But Zhao Qixuan was not annoyed at all, and cheerfully gave up his seat: "Okay, Li Yao, sit down."

What's happening here? Everyone was in a mess.

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Ye Jiayao walked over, but didn't sit down. This position was too glaring, and she was afraid that if she sat down, she would get sores on her buttocks. He just picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for everyone, then filled a glass for himself, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for coming, I would like to offer a toast to everyone, and I wish you all a happy drink and a happy meal."

After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

He Lianjing said: "Come on, everyone dries up the wine in the glass."

Seeing that the important figures had all drank, the other young people had no reason not to join in, and drank the wine in their glasses one after another.

Ye Jiayao turned up again, this time respecting Xiaojing: "My lord, thank you for your trust in allowing me to organize the old concubine's birthday banquet. Thank you for your kindness, I respect you."

He Lianjing frowned and said: "Which of us is with whom, you will be offended if you say that."

Ye Jiayao drank the wine to the bottom, turned the glass upside down, and looked at Xiaojing with a smile.

He Lianjing had no choice but to do it.

For the third cup, Ye Jiayao wanted to respect Zhao Qixuan: "Brother Zhao, I have something to ask you."

Zhao Qixuan said: "Please don't ask me, if you need something, just say it."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Then take it as you agreed, and I'll tell you later."

After three glasses of wine, Ye Jiayao said: "Everyone is free, I still have work in the kitchen, so I will excuse you first, I will be the host another day, everyone is coming!"

He Lianjing was disappointed and said: "You are so busy, aren't there other cooks in the kitchen?"

Ye Jiayao said with a smile: "But I'm the chef, all right, I'll leave first, while you drink."

As soon as she went out, the sincere and enthusiastic smile on Ye Jiayao's face turned into a sneer.

Wei Liujiang, Wei Liujiang, if you knew who I am, would you vomit blood?

After the banquet, He Lianjing and Xia Chunfeng accompanied Zhao Qixuan to find Ye Jiayao.

They wanted to hear what Yaoyao wanted to ask Zhao Qixuan for.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Qixuan asked.

"Oh, I heard that you have business in the south, and I want to ask you to help me get some coconut fruit from the south." Ye Jiayao said.

"Coconut fruit? Isn't that delicious? It tastes bland." Zhao Qixuan wondered.

"I have my own uses."

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"This thing is not easy to break. If it is convenient, the more the better, get a few hundred, okay?"

Zhao Qixuan readily agreed: "If there's any inconvenience, you can take as much as you want. It just so happens that there is a fleet going south tomorrow, so I'll give you an order."

Ye Jiayao was overjoyed, cupped her hands and said, "Then thank you in advance."

He Lianjing said: "Yaoyao, in the future, if you have anything to do, you can find some of us, and you don't need to look for someone who is unclear."

Not sure? After thinking about it, Ye Jiayao realized that he was talking about Mu Qinchu. He laughed and said, "I was just trying to trick him, just to trouble him."

Xia Chunfeng laughed out loud, it's interesting, this Li Yao is really interesting.

He Lianjing was relieved, and said to Zhao Qixuan: "I don't like that kid no matter what, I won't come if he comes in the future."

Zhao Qixuan said awkwardly, "I also met on the way."

After the three of them left, Ye Jiayao also got off work, and brought a big bag back to Aunt Jiang's house. Tonight she was going to make a very important condiment... chicken essence.

Chicken essence is a very common and commonly used condiment in modern times, but it has not appeared in this era.

It was Jiang Li who came to open the door. Seeing that she was carrying something in her hand, she quickly took it and shouted inside.

"Mother, the third lady is back."

Aunt Jiang came out of the kitchen: "Third Madam, have you had dinner yet? I made dumplings."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "I ate in the restaurant, you guys eat, Ah Li, help me carry the food to the small kitchen!"

"Hey!" Jiang Li responded and left.

Jiang Yue ate the last dumpling in two bites and ran out: "Third Madam, do you want to eat?"

Ye Jiayao said: "Yes, if you have nothing to do, come and help."

"It's okay, mother, I'm going to help the third lady." Jiang Yue said happily.

Aunt Jiang smiled: "Go girl, learn from the third lady."

Jiang Li consciously went to chop wood and light the fire.

Ye Jiayao washed her hands, took out two stone mortars, and gave one to Jiang Yue: "Mash that bag of rock sugar into powder."

"Hey!" Jiang Yue happily accepted the job.

Ye Jiayao handled the chicken by herself. She tore the chicken breast that had been boiled and drained at noon into thin strips by hand, removed the tendons, and pounded it in a stone mortar until it was finely chopped.

While lighting the fire, Jiang Li was thinking about when to show the mold to the third lady.

Ye Jiayao put the mashed antler into a plate, shaken it loose with chopsticks, and added a little finely ground salt in stages until the saltiness was moderate. Take out the onion, ginger and shiitake mushrooms, cut them finely, and put them in the crock.

"Is the pot hot?"

Jiang Li returned to his senses, nodded and said, "It's already hot."

"Put more salt in the bottom of the pot." Ye Jiayao ordered.

There is no oven in this era, so we can only use this kind of soil method, put salt on the bottom of the pot, and then put a crock pot to bake.

Stir-fry after roasting for a while, and continue roasting until the water is completely evaporated, and the finely chopped green onion, ginger, moss and shiitake mushrooms are dehydrated and become crispy fine particles.

Then bake the shredded chicken and wait until it becomes soft, then mix all the ingredients together and continue pounding until it becomes a powder, and finally add a little powdered sugar and mix well.

Ye Jiayao dipped some chicken essence on her fingertips, tasted it, um...it was delicious. The first homemade chicken essence is done.

"Third Madam, what is this?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.

Ye Jiayao smiled mysteriously: "This is my secret seasoning, you are not allowed to spread it outside."

If this thing gets out, it will definitely cause shocks in the catering industry.

The brother and sister nodded solemnly: "We won't say anything."

Ye Jiayao put the finished chicken essence into a dry jar and sealed it, and gave the rest to Jiang Yue: "You take it for your mother, when cooking soup, add a pinch of it, remember, only A handful, and it should be added when it is about to come out of the pan, and the taste will be particularly delicious."

"Really? That's really a good thing." Jiang Yue held it carefully, for fear of spilling it.

"Well, find a jar and put it in a jar so it doesn't get wet, or it won't work well." Ye Jiayao reminded.

Jiang Yue nodded again and again: "I'm going to find the jar right now."

Ye Jiayao looked at the jar of chicken essence on the stove and felt very happy. This is her secret weapon. Whether the old princess's birthday banquet can be a blockbuster depends not only on the ice cream mooncakes and crystal mooncakes, but also on the chicken essence.

"Third...Third Madam, I've made that mold." Jiang Li said nana.

Ye Jiayao froze for a moment: "So fast?"

Jiang Li nodded: "It's done."

Ye Jiayao was overjoyed: "Hurry up and let me have a look."

Jiang Li kept the mold in his arms, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to the third lady.

Ye Jiayao saw that the mold was very exquisitely made, it was small and could be opened and closed, and when it was opened, the carvings inside were exactly the effect she wanted.

"My mother made dumplings tonight. I took a group for an interview. Would you like to see the effect?" Jiang Li was not sure if the third lady liked it. The third lady kept saying that it should be exquisite, so he made it smaller and more delicate. , when it was finished, he felt it was too small.

"Yeah, I want to see, you go and get it." Ye Jiayao was looking for something to try.

After a while, Jiang Li came back with the dough.

Oh, Nima, she is so delicate and cute, that's what she wants! That kind of big moon cake looks full, so small and delicate ones can arouse people's appetite.

"A Li, your hands are so ingenious. I like this mold very much. I still have four pictures. You can make the remaining four according to this size." Ye Jiayao played with the mold and couldn't put it down.

Jiang Li smiled innocently and scratched his head, as long as the third wife is satisfied.
