The roast suckling pig is already crispy skin and tender meat just eating like this.

This skin is not greasy at all, the oil in it has been roasted, and it can also be dipped in the two seasonings that Xu Qinyu served. It is natural to eat roast suckling pig with white sugar. Some people think it looks good with white sugar. Strange, but it tastes a completely different feeling. The roast suckling pig dipped in white sugar thoroughly stimulates the aroma, and it is crispy and sweet in the mouth.

The other is also a dry dipping sauce, which is matched with several of her own secret seasonings, peppery and spicy, which are two completely different tastes from white sugar.

Xu Qinyu felt that this roast suckling pig was a waste for the imperial servant to eat, but that was the only way it could be for now.

Madam Zhu knew how delicious these foods were just by smelling them, but she still couldn't hold back. After hearing what the young master asked her to taste, she nodded and took some from the extra plate. in the plate.

She thought that the roast suckling pig outside had the best taste, but after tasting these dishes, she knew she was wrong. Every dish cooked by this young man amazed her. If not everyone was there, She couldn't help but want to eat it, it was delicious.

These dishes are already so delicious, how delicious is the roast suckling pig outside.

Madam Zhu took a sip, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corner of her lower lip, and said warmly: "I saw that the young master was young, and I was suspicious of the young master, and I asked the young master to forgive me, the cooking skills of the young master are already Fabulous."

For the first time, she knew that cooking skills could reach such a level.

Xu Qinyu said: "Ms. Zhu thinks it's okay, get ready, the imperial envoy should be arriving soon, and the food will be served immediately when someone arrives."

...

This imperial envoy, surnamed Fu, is a descendant of the distant cousins ​​of the ancestors of Empress Fu, who has been separated by several generations. He is called Fu Chenghong. This year, he is in his thirties. Although Empress Fu used to be a concubine in the palace, the Fu family also He is just an ordinary prince, and he is only a distant relative of several generations earlier, so naturally he does not gain much.

Fu Chenghong was not a native of the capital himself. He studied the Four Books and Five Classics and took the imperial examinations since he was a child, but his knowledge was very average. It was not until he was 30 that he barely won the Juren, or he borrowed the power of Concubine Fu by coincidence.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and opened Enke, he went to Beijing to take the exam, because his surname was Fu, and finally he went to the palace exam, but his knowledge was so mediocre that he didn't get into the first grade. The new emperor gave him the second grade. The Minister of the Ministry suddenly died of a heart attack in the court hall. The right-hand servant of the Ministry of Housing, who was only in his twenties, became the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

The Minister of the Household is a fourth-rank official.

After he became the minister of the household, many people flattered him. He was not fat at first, but now he is full of fat and trembles when he walks. Many people mock him behind his back for borrowing the power of the Fu family. It's easy to live a better life and just eat and drink, and eat himself like a pig, his character becomes more and more strange, beating and scolding the servants in the family is a common occurrence, and he has tortured a few little maids to death, but the maids are all dead contracts, and life is not cheap. They were valuable, and they were just thrown at the mass graves when they were killed, and no one was angry for them.

Even if it is found out by outsiders, it is just a frivolous sentence of stealing things at home to block the mouths of everyone.

In the case of military pay corruption, because the Minister of Household was unable to open up due to some matters, he was appointed as an imperial envoy to investigate the case in the southwest.

This military pay corruption was originally done by the Ministry of Household, but all the money went into the pockets of King Handong, and he also got a little benefit. Naturally, he understood that it was a process. If he didn't want to come, of course he didn't want to come, but he had to come. When he came, he was naturally angry on Raozhou's prefect. The prefect was also not a long-sighted man. The meals he entertained were ordinary meals. Allow him to hold a banquet to entertain the actors.

After staying in the prefect's mansion for a few days, he went out to eat, but also because he was not comfortable trying to find the prefect.

The food in Zuixianlou was actually good, but he was angry, so he would naturally pour it out.

Later, he heard from the people around him that the owner of the Zhujia Restaurant was the wife and sister of the prefect, so he asked the officials around him to go to the Zhujia Restaurant to order a table of evening meals.

As for the food made by Zhujia Restaurant, he also sent someone to inquire about it. The taste is average, but the portion is good. It is not for the taste, but to humiliate the prefect. For a good reason, I beat Mrs. Zhu for a while, but I still beat him in front of the prefect, just thinking about it makes me happy.

So Fu Chenghong also invited the prefect to go to Zhujia Restaurant for evening food.

Zhu Taishou did not intend to accompany Fu Chenghong to the evening meal, but he heard Fu Chenghong said that he had reserved a table of evening meal at the Zhujia Restaurant, and he understood Fu Chenghong's plan, and it was impossible to watch Fu Chenghong embarrass his wife. His younger sister, so he went with him. If Fu Chenghong is really embarrassed for his wife and younger sister, he can also protect him.

Fu Chenghong and Zhu Taishou passed by Zhu's restaurant at about an hour, accompanied by two other officials beside Fu Chenghong, who also came from the capital.

When a few people arrived in the ancient household of the Qing Dynasty in the carriage, they smelled a strange fragrance as soon as the carriage entered.

The fragrance was too strong and gluttonous, and the two officials around Fu Chenghong couldn't hold back, opened the curtain and looked out, and asked Prefect Zhu, "Master Zhu, there is a famous restaurant in this market? Why? Why don't we say it, Lord Fu? If you know there is such a restaurant, you don't need to go to the Zhu family restaurant for dinner."

It was a little strange for the prefect Zhu to smell this smell. He naturally knew how many restaurants there were in the ancient households of the Qing Dynasty.

The person who can make such a taste, in his opinion, seems to be the only one.

Prefect Zhu snorted, Wei Xuan was in Raozhou City, and said that she and Yuniang came to Raozhou City to see shops and land, and Yuniang wanted to open a restaurant or restaurant.

Could it be that this food was made by Yu Niang?

But where did Yu Niang do it? Zhu Family Restaurant? But Wei Xuan should not know that Fu Chenghong is going to embarrass the Zhu Family Restaurant?

That's all, maybe it's just his own random guessing, maybe it's the food made by someone else.

Fu Chenghong was also swallowed by the smell, but he held back and didn't open the curtain to look outside.

He heard Prefect Zhu again saying, "This official doesn't come out to eat often, and I don't know much about the restaurants in the ancient households of the Qing Dynasty."

Fu Chenghong sneered in his heart, thinking, go to Zhujia Restaurant later to see how you can pretend.

The further the carriage drove inward, the stronger the scent.

Even the two officials couldn't help muttering, "What kind of food are you doing here? I've never smelled such an aroma in the capital."

The other person saw Fu Chenghong's cold face, and said quickly, "Maybe it's just the smell that catches people's eyes, and the taste is average."

When arrived in front of Zhujia Restaurant, the fragrance seemed to be in the nose.

The two officials were shocked. Could it be the scent from the Zhujia Restaurant?

After getting off the carriage, the four entered the Zhu Family Restaurant.

The clerk in the hall recognized the two officials, and also recognized Prefect Zhu, and was shocked, and then quickly led the four to the largest wing on the second floor, and opened the window, and could see the bustling crowd below, waiting for a few people. When sat down, the other guy who ran the hall came up not with tea, but with a white porcelain soup pot. The color of the soup pot was a little milky white, and it was dotted with dense small particles. Recognize what it is, but it looks strangely tempting.

Fu Chenghong couldn't help frowning, and before he could say anything, the two officials immediately scolded: "If you don't serve tea, what is this thing?"

The guy was a little frightened, but still said: "Hello, adults, this is a horseshoe drink made by the chef of our restaurant. It is said that it is a substitute for tea. How many adults want to try it first?"

Horseshoe Shuang was also the first thing Xu Qinyu did, and it was chilled in well water.

Horseshoe Shuang is also simple to make. Chop it up, boil it with rock sugar, and add some prepared honey lotus root starch to thicken it.

It tastes refreshing and sweet, and the heat is well controlled. The chopped horseshoe still tastes fresh and crisp. Although it has just entered the autumn, the weather is still a bit dry, so put the cooked horseshoe in the well water and chill it. , came out at the end of two hours, it was already icy cold, very refreshing.

Xu Qinyu has done a lot, and in addition to serving it, there is still a lot left in the kitchen.

In the back kitchen, she, her fourth brother and Mrs. Zhu have already eaten a bowl.

Fu Chenghong waved his hand, but the two officials didn't say anything. The clerk in the hall served one person a bowl with a spoon.

Fu Chenghong took a sip first, but after just one sip, he stayed for a while. It was cold, crisp and refreshing, and the sweetness was also very suitable. Shuang saw the bottom of the bowl.

The prefect wished to drink a little silently, and he knew that only Yu Niang could cook such a fresh and delicious drink.

Could it be that Yu Niang came here to work on his wife and sister?

Seeing that everyone was drinking about the same, the running guy went on to say, "Several adults, the next thing you want to serve is the main dish of today's evening meal, roast suckling pig. The smell outside is the smell of our roast suckling pig."

The two officials said: "Then send it up quickly."

The other two guys came up with the roast suckling pig on the wooden chopping board.

The bright red roast suckling pig was still whole. Just lifting it up like this gave Fu Chenghong and the two officials a great visual impact, making them feel incredible that such a small pig could be cooked and eaten whole. ? It looks like it's baked, but the aroma is too strong and too strong.

The guy who ran the hall also prepared two dips for each person.

An official whispered, "Is this sugar? How come the roasted pork is served with sugar?"

Although the whole piglet is roasted, it is also a kind of roasted meat. Isn't roasted meat eaten with sauce?

The Jixianglou in the capital has roasted meat, a thin slice, placed on a red-hot iron, the meat is rolled up with a sizzle, and then dipped in the secret sauce prepared by the chef, the secret sauce is wet Yes, this is the first time have seen this kind of dry dipping sauce, even with white sugar.

The guy said, "Our cook said that eating it with sugar has a unique flavor. A few adults can try it."

After he finished speaking, he took out a large kitchen knife and cut the whole suckling pig into neat small pieces according to what the young man in the back kitchen said, "A few adults can eat it."

Naturally, Fu Chenghong ate it first. He sandwiched a piece. The entrance was crispy and slag was left behind. It was fragrant and crispy. Coupled with the crispness of the pig's skin, it went straight to the sky, and in an instant, only this roast suckling pig was left in Fu Chenghong's eyes.

Fu Chenghong's food was really delicious. Even in the capital, he had never eaten such a delicious meal. Compared with the roasted suckling pig in front of him, the roasted meat in Jixianglou was nothing.

How can it be so fragrant? Isn't it said that the dishes of Zhujia Restaurant are just so-so?

The other two officials also took a piece, and they stared wide-eyed when they ate it. They couldn't believe it. This thing smelled delicious, and it tasted even more delicious. It almost confused people.

When Prefect Zhu had tasted the roast suckling pig, he already knew in his heart that in all likelihood, Yu Niang was in the back kitchen of the restaurant.

The food made by Yu Niang is not only delicious, but also has a feature that makes you feel that the delicious food that you have eaten in the big restaurant before is no longer a good food.

Prefect Zhu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Yuniang's craftsmanship is afraid of being missed by others. People like Fu Chenghong must be thinking of flattering and claiming credit. Will they want to take Yuniang away when they leave? Otherwise, when Yu Niang finished eating and left, and no one could be found, Fu Chenghong would not let it go.

Even he could guess that Fu Chenghong and the others must have checked the taste of the food in the Zhu family restaurant before, and they must know that it was not made by the chef of the Zhu family.

Whether it was looking for trouble with his wife and sister, or wanting to take Yu Niang away, the prefect did not want to see it.

Fu Chenghong ate several pieces in a row, then added another piece, looked at the candy in front of him, he hesitated, dipped in some candy, the mouth was even more fragrant, fragrant but not greasy, with a hint of sweetness, even more Combined with this crispy texture, it really is more delicious.

He hissed and couldn't help asking Paotang, "This is what your boss made with the cook in the restaurant?"

Paotang hesitated and said, "It was made by the chef of our restaurant, but this chef was the helper who came to the restaurant only two days ago. Originally, our owner never let him take charge, but today I know that you are visiting the restaurant, the helper said that he would not I don’t want to eat with fresh recipes, I want to take charge, our owner knows that I am average in cooking, and I am afraid that you will not be able to eat as you like, so let the chef try it…”

This rhetoric was also said by the little boy.

Fu Chenghong didn't speak.

At the moment, he has no other ideas for the time being. He just thought that the little cook had this fresh recipe in his hand, so it was so delicious.

Fu Chenghong and the other two officials were busy feasting. A whole roast suckling pig was quickly eaten by the three of them, and the remaining dishes were served one after another.

I thought that this roast suckling pig was already very delicious, and other dishes might taste just average, but I didn't expect that other dishes were also very delicious, and they were still more delicious than those in Jixianglou in the capital, and even had an amazing taste.

It can be said that every dish is delicious and has its own taste, but this roast suckling pig is the most memorable one, and still want to eat it.

Fu Chenghong couldn't help but asked the guy again, "The chef also cooked these dishes?"

Buddy says yes.

Fu Chenghong was a little surprised. He thought that these dishes were made by other chefs, and that the helper could know so many fresh dishes, but he didn't say much for the time being.

Today's evening meal, a table of vegetables, he ate happily and was in a good mood, and when he had other ideas, he didn't bother to look for Lady Zhu.

Before leaving, Fu Chenghong signaled that his subordinates had lost one hundred taels of silver notes, and said, "I will come to your restaurant to eat in the next few days. Remember to prepare it for morning and evening meals. If you have evening meals, prepare another roasted milk. Pig, other dishes are optional."

The attendant was stunned, but he could only respond.

Waiting for the others to leave the restaurant, Prefect Zhu couldn't help but glanced at the backyard, but he didn't see anyone, so it was not easy for him to go to the backyard, so he left with Fu Chenghong first.

Originally, there were many people outside the restaurant joining in the fun. I wondered if Madam Zhu would be slapped on the board like the chef of Zuixianlou. Who would have guessed that the imperial consignor came out after eating, and the eyes that were not visible were even more smiling. Into a seam, it can be seen that the mood is not bad.

Everyone was a little surprised, Madam Zhu was all right?

Could it be that the fragrance smelled today came from the Zhujia Restaurant? Therefore, it must be very delicious food, so the imperial envoy was very satisfied with the food, so he didn't bother Mrs. Zhu.

After waiting for the people to leave, the man who ran the hall went to the back kitchen and handed the one hundred taels of silver notes to Mrs. Zhu, "Master, this is what the adults left behind when they left, and it should be the settlement."

After finishing speaking, he repeated the words left by the imperial envoy to Mrs. Zhu, and when he said it, he couldn't help but look at Xu Qinyu with a sad face, "The imperial envoy also said that he will come to eat the morning meal tomorrow. Mu Shi, Mu Shi will also prepare a roast suckling pig, and other dishes are optional."

Because I knew that today's evening meal was prepared by this young master, and they were not the cooks of the Zhu family restaurant at all, they thought that the young master would definitely leave after finishing this meal.

Madam Zhu's expression that had eased up stopped again.

She thought that just after this meal, the imperial envoy would not continue to trouble her.

Now it seems that this imperial commissioner does not intend to continue to trouble her, but because the food made by the young master is so delicious, he is addicted to eating and wants to continue to eat.

Xu Qinyu said: "Miss Zhu, don't worry, I will continue to come and cook tomorrow, but I don't have a place to live with my brother, and I still need Madam Zhu's help to think about it."

In order to cover up the identities of himself and his fourth brother, he would definitely not be able to go back to the Bafang Inn and would have to live elsewhere.

Madam Zhu said happily: "Thank you so much, young master, if you two don't have a place to live, you can stay in my house, I live with my apprentice in my house, there are a few maids and servants in the house, and there are extra guest rooms. ."

Not only that, but she also gave all the 100 taels of silver notes to the young master in front of her.

She knew that if it weren't for this little boy, she would be beaten, and even the prefect would be humiliated.

After the kitchen was done, Xu Qinyu and Pei Weixuan followed Madam Zhu to the place where she lived.

The house where Mrs. Zhu lived was in a nearby alley. She walked in and turned a few turns before entering a large alley. The house of Mrs. Zhu was here.

Zhu Zhu has admired Xu Qinyu since he made these meals in the restaurant, and talked a lot to Xu Qinyu along the way.

Xu Qinyu didn't speak too much, her voice was still a little delicate after all, afraid of revealing her secrets, she simply replied two sentences.

After arriving at Zhu's house, Mrs. Zhu thought that the two were really brothers, so she arranged for the two to live in a wing.

Xu Qinyu was not easy to tell the truth, but only said that Madam Zhu should prepare an extra quilt. She and her brother were not used to sleeping in a quilt.

Madam Zhu prepared two quilts for the two of them.

Xu Qinyu has nothing to worry about. She knows the character of the fourth brother, and now is a special period.

The two asked for water to wash, and the concoction applied on her body did not have the potion given by the fourth brother, but the water could not wash it off. There was no need to reapply it these days. After applying the ointment, the skin becomes dark and tan in no time.

After she washed up, she changed the fourth brother to wash.

The two washed up and went to bed. Fortunately, the bed was big enough, and one of them slept in a quilt.

Pei Weixuan was a little stiff, Xu Qinyu thought she could calm down, but even she was a little nervous, she just chatted with Pei Weixuan to ease her emotions, "Fourth brother, since this imperial commissioner is here to act in the southwest, what is it? When can I leave?" She also didn't want to keep feeding this person, listening to what the fourth brother had said before, this imperial envoy was not only the Queen Mother and King Handong, but also not a good official.

If he is a good official, can he not dedicate himself to investigating the case of military pay corruption?

In short, Xu Qinyu didn't have a good impression of this imperial envoy.

Pei Weixuan said: "It should take four or five days."

Xu Qinyu was a little discouraged, "Don't you have to cook him food for four or five days?"

She is still very confident in her cooking skills, and that imperial commissioner is a food lover, and she will definitely eat at Zhujia Restaurant in the next few days.

Pei Weixuan said: "Not only that, I'm afraid he will have other thoughts."

"Are you thinking of something else?" Xu Qinyu's tone was a little stunned, "What do you mean by fourth brother?"

Pei Weixuan lowered his voice and said a few words.

When Xu Qinyu heard this, her heart thumped, and she said, "Fourth brother, didn't I cause trouble?"

Although it will not spread to others, it has also brought trouble to itself.

Pei Weixuan said, "Don't be afraid of Yu Niang, I have a way."

He whispered a few words to Yu Niang before saying: "Although Fu Chenghong shares the surnames of the Queen Mother and the King of Han Dong, he is only a distant relative, and his ancestors and the great-grandfather's family of the Queen Mother are distant cousins. The family is not from the capital either. In the past, he lived a normal life. He was considered a poor family. He was admitted to Juren at the age of 30. After the new emperor opened Enke, he went to Beijing to take the test. , at the beginning he entered the Imperial Academy, and later the Minister of the Ministry of Housing died of illness, and the original right-servant of the Ministry of Housing took the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, and he was directly promoted from the Imperial Academy to the position of the Minister of the Right."

Speaking of this, he also told Yu Niang that Fu Chenghong was a man with a belly and chicken intestines. When he was in a bad mood, he often beat and scolded the servants in the house, and also tortured and killed several little maids.

Xu Qinyu clenched his fists when he heard it.

After Pei Weixuan said this, he said, "So Yu Niang doesn't have to worry. The method I told you will definitely work. It's just that these few days I can only wrong Yu Niang first, and I have to cook him a few days of food."

Xu Qinyu hummed, her voice a little muffled.

Pei Weixuan knew why Yuniang was unhappy, because he heard that Fu Chenghong had tortured and killed several little maids.

He wants to tell Yu Niang not to worry, this Fu Chenghong won't live for a few days, but it is not easy to tell Yu Niang directly about such murders, not only that Fu Chenghong died, but also a lot of follow-up involvement. It will involve the Ministry of Household in the capital.

Xu Qinyu knew that what the fourth brother said to her would definitely work. She had to say that the fourth brother really had a way of trying to figure out people's hearts. If she was an imperial envoy, she would have to be tempted.

But even so, she thought that the imperial envoy was abusing the little maid, and she didn't want to talk much, and she kept silent.
