    13. Thick soup with red wine pouring gold liquid

    Pei Nianyu quickly accepted this extremely simple "golden finger" psychologically. This so-called system not only has an extremely simple UI design, it doesn't even have a name, and it looks harmless.

    What's more, this thing has been bound in his body, if it is harmful, there is nothing he can do.

    Since the system seems to just follow his thinking and want him to carry out some "immediate events", it is not a loss if he completes it smoothly and can receive rewards.

    He tried to breathe out with consciousness and closed the system interface a few times before he mastered the basic operations.

    Then he stepped out, but saw a middle-aged man in plain brown robes standing under the porch in front of the bedroom. He was Gao Tong, the chief eunuch of the palace.

    Gao Tong is in charge of all the internal affairs of the mansion, big and small, but he knows that Pei Nianyu is too lazy to take care of these mundane affairs, so he usually handles matters in the front yard and disturbs Pei Nianyu for nothing on weekdays.

    "Uncle Gao, what's the matter?"

    Gao Tong bowed slightly and saluted:

    "My lord, what's wrong with your meal tonight?"

    Pei Nianyu looked up, and sure enough, he saw a person standing at the gate of the courtyard, who seemed to be trembling.

    "That is……?"

    "Go back to your lord, that's the head chef of the house."

    "..."

    Pei Nianyu shook his head: "It's my taste, it has nothing to do with him, so don't make things difficult for him."

    "……yes."

    Gao Tong bowed his head in response.Then he tentatively asked again:

    "Then, what else do you want to eat, my lord, the old slave will send someone to do it."

    Pei Nianyu paused:

    "No, I'll do it myself."

    Gao Tong was startled: "My lord?!"

    Jiang Xue next to him pulled him and gave him a wink.Pei Nianyu, on the other hand, acted as if no one was around, and had already walked to the small kitchen behind the bedroom.

    Gao Tong frowned: "Jiang Xue, what are you pulling me for? You don't persuade the prince, how can the prince enter the place where there is oily smoke? What's more, the prince has to cook himself?"

    Jiang Xue blinked: "I think the prince himself is very happy, why do you force him to persuade him?"

    Here, Pei Nianyu entered the small kitchen, and saw a young woman in her twenties, plainly dressed and wearing an apron, sitting by the stove, holding a large pancake and eating it.

    Like Yun Luan, she is a second-class maid in the mansion, and she does not serve Pei Nianyu on weekdays, but because she was born as a cook, she is in charge of the small kitchen in Hanqiu Pavilion.

    Seeing Pei Nianyu enter the door, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and ordered the idlers in the kitchen to leave.Seeing that there was no one here, he straightened his temples, but met Pei Nianyu with a shadow guard.

    "Subordinates refer to the master."

    "There's no need to be too polite, I'm just here to find some ingredients and make something to eat myself."

    Yun Shao was slightly startled: "Master? When will you do..."

    At this time Gao Tong and Jiang Xue had also come together, Pei Nianyu didn't look back at them, just smiled and said:

    "Oh, some time ago I looked through many ancient books and learned some ancient cooking recipes from them. I am going to try to make them. Just look at them."

    Anyway, the culinary level of this plane has been broken down before, and it is said that there was a glorious history before it was broken down.

    And since those so-called "orphan copies" are treasures, it is normal for them to have never seen them.In short, Pei Nianyu has already made up his mind to dump all the recipes of these dishes from the ancient books.

    Yun Shao was not surprised when he heard this, the prince has always been known for his outstanding talents and knowledge of the past and the present.Moreover, people in the world also know that the prince doesn't like classics, but only idle articles. If the prince is addicted to some food recipes recently, it is not surprising.

    ——But he expressed great doubts about whether Pei Nianyu, who had never been in the world, could really do it.

    Pei Nianyu glanced at the things on the shelf and the bottles and cans, while Jiang Xue and Yun Shao shared what happened just now.

    While listening, Yun Shao watched Pei Nianyu take some potatoes, some carrots, one onion, and some tomatoes.

    She hurried up and said, "My lord, these are all farm meals, how can you eat such unpalatable..."

    Pei Nianyu interrupted her with a smile: "It's unpalatable? Then the pile of meat you made for me is delicious?"

    Seeing that Pei Nianyu was still persistent, Yun Shao had no choice but to go forward and take those over, half complaining:

    "Okay, ok, lord, if you insist on eating, let the servants wash it for you anyway. There is some dirt on it, so don't dirty the lord's sleeves."

    Yun Shao was two or three years older than Pei Nianyu. He was good at martial arts, and most importantly, he had the unique skill of distinguishing poisonous substances.She carefully checked Pei Nianyu's daily meals, and she has made a lot of credit for this over the years.

    Therefore, Pei Nianyu didn't feel disobedient to her elder-like tone, and handed her the ingredients kindly, then took off his wide-sleeved robe and threw it to Jiang Xue at the door.

    ——That's the good thing about being a prince. It's nice to have someone help wash the vegetables when you cook a meal.

    Yun Shao quickly washed and peeled the ingredients and put them on the chopping board, then took the initiative to step aside, her eyes seemed a little unconvinced:

    "I don't know if your craftsmanship needs to be kept secret, my lord. Otherwise, the slaves want to see it."

    "Just look at it."

    Picking up the knife, Pei Nianyu quickly cut the potatoes and carrots into pieces, heated up the oil pan and pushed the tomatoes to her:

    "Peel, cut into small pieces, mash into paste."

    "……yes."

    Although Yun Shao was at a loss, he did as he did.Without even looking at it, Pei Nianyu poured the big bowl of crushed tomatoes into the oil pan.

    "By the way, is there any beef in Yuefu this month? It's best cooked."

    "some."

    Da Jing's beef is actually more rare than other rare poultry and other meats.Because food was important in the past, cattle were used to plow the land. Originally, every household fasted to eat beef.

    It was not until the first emperor's Dajing Dynasty that the food was relatively abundant and the tax was lighter, and then began to raise beef cattle for food, but only for the emperor and concubines in the palace.

    And after Pei Niancheng succeeded to the throne, he favored his brother, so the palace had a monthly supply of beef.

    Pei Nianyu picked out a handful of half-cooked beef brisket from a row of pots, and fried it in another pot.Then he poured the pile of things that had been chopped into small pieces into the casserole and added water.

    Yun Shao was still at a loss: "My lord...do you just cook like this?"

    "Go to the pharmacy and get some goji berries."

    "Goji... Goji berries?"

    Now even Jiang Xue next to her was a little suspicious. Goji berry has always been used as a medicinal material, and she has never heard of it, and it can be used in dishes.

    After a while, Yun Shao came back with wolfberries, but she came with Lian Xiao.

    "Owner!"

    Pei Nianyu glanced at the handsome young man:

    "Lian Xiao, what are you doing here? Have you delivered the medicine from Ye Feng?"

    "Returning to the master, the subordinate sent it over just now, and Commander Lou has already drank it. But Yun Shao went to ask the subordinate for wolfberry, saying that you are cooking, and the subordinate followed to see."

    "Ok."

    Pei Nianyu responded lightly without stopping.During the conversation, the tomatoes in the pot had been fried to dry out the water, and turned into a big crimson sticky paste.

    She had never seen a tomato look like this.

    "My lord, is this...?"

    "This is called ketchup, I'll use it later."

    The soup has been boiled over high heat, Pei Nianyu thought about it, and the staple food was missing.

    For the staple food, pasta and steamed buns are too time-consuming, but there is ready-made cooked rice, which seems to be usable.

    Then he took out the remaining part of the large pot of white rice cooked in the pot, added chopped carrots, mushrooms, chicken, and stir-fried in the pot.When the meal was hot, added some soy sauce.

    Although Pei Nianyu was hungry at the moment, he didn't dare to eat too much, so he didn't put much soy sauce, it was just for flavor.

    However, as the color of the soy sauce mixed into the rice, the pure white rice grains were dyed a light brown, and the fresh aroma of the soy sauce gradually came out with the stir-frying, and the eyes of the people around began to change gradually.

    Jiang Xue sniffled and watched Pei Nianyu helplessly as he brought out the plate of fried rice.

    "This... smells so good..."

    Yun Shao also stared wide-eyed:

    "My lord, is this... called fried rice?"

    Pei Nianyu smiled and shook his head: "No. Yun Shao, break five eggs."

    "yes."

    But Pei Nianyu picked up a large plate of fried rice with a wooden spatula, compacted it slightly, and then put the broken egg liquid into the pot again.

    Then, a scene that surprised Yun Shao appeared: Pei Nianyu didn't scramble the eggs, but quickly stirred the egg liquid into the pot.

    When the edge of the egg liquid had just solidified, Pei Nianyu suddenly picked up the pot, shoveled it, and shook it neatly.Yun Shao didn't know why the omelette in the pot slowly rolled up after several times in a row, turning into an oval thin capsule!

    And under the solidified egg skin, it is clearly wrapped with egg liquid that is still rolling. The egg skin is so thin that it looks like it will break open.

    Pei Nianyu gently flipped the egg from the pot onto the fried rice, and then cut open the egg skin with a knife.

    The omelet is spread out, and the golden yellow steaming egg liquid flows down instantly. The soft and tender egg liquid cake is spread on the light brown rice grains, which are mixed with rich diced carrots and chicken. The aroma of the eggs andThe delicious aroma of the fried rice was immediately reflected together.

    However, this was not over yet. Pei Nianyu scooped up another spoonful of ketchup, tilted his wrist slightly, and poured the ketchup evenly on the egg liquid in a zigzag shape.

    There was no sound in the kitchen, and everyone was dumbfounded looking at the rice on the plate.

    "This……"

    Looking at the beautiful and fragrant rice in front of him, Yun Shao felt in a daze.

    "My lord, how did you do it just now..."

    Pei Nianyu smiled slightly.

    Oh, mortals.

    At this moment, Pei Nianyu's ears suddenly heard a light and crisp "ding bell", followed by continuous "ding bells".

    Pei Nianyu pulled out the system interface to take a look, and saw numbers floating out of everyone in the room one after another.

    "+2" "+3" "+1" "+4"...

    The jingle bells rang endlessly, Pei Nianyu frowned, and silently said "Mute" in his heart, and finally stopped.

    He didn't answer, but while they were still in shock, he poured most of the remaining tomato sauce into the soup in the casserole, stirred it a few times in the boiling soup, and then took the casserole down.

    Slowly lift the cover.

    This is a pot of rich and rich red soup. The potatoes and beef brisket covered under the soup can be vaguely seen in the rolling heat, and some cabbage leaves appear and disappear.The clear and meaty aroma of beef steamed from the soup, combined with the sweet and sour tomato smell, can't help but whet the appetite.

    Another string of tight numbers popped up on everyone, and then the frequency gradually stabilized, becoming a "+1" floating out every two seconds.

    Pei Nianyu had an epiphany, this is... the emotional value that will be produced if one is shocked by delicious food?

    Forget it, wait a while and study again.

    "Borscht, Liuxin Omurice."

    Everyone was stunned again.

    This soup looks too delicious!

    Jiang Xue's eyes were blazing, Yun Shao grabbed the handkerchief with an eager expression, Lian Xiao looked thoughtful, and even Gao Tong, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help standing where he was, but kept looking into the casserole.

    Pei Nianyu reckoned that the soup and meal should be ready in less than half an hour.

    The so-called light meal is the most important thing that can be cooked quickly and fill the stomach.

    So he chose these two uncomplicated meals.

    If he were to cook some famous Chinese dishes, he might have to hang them for several hours just to hang the soup. He was so hungry that he couldn't wait.

    In fact, these two are also improved. The authentic Russian-style borscht needs to use beets and cheese, and the finished product is sweeter and greasy. These two things are not available for the time being, so Pei Nianyu changed it to a more Chinese style, adding wolfberries.

    The rice under the omelet should actually be fried with curry sauce, but there was still no rice, so Pei Nianyu replaced it with soy sauce.

    This borscht is warm, and it is late autumn at this time, a bowl of sweet and sour beef brisket hot soup, think it is very pleasant.

    Pei Nianyu looked at the finished product of his first trial of the sledgehammer, and he finished the work very satisfied, and then cleaned his hands.

    "Yun Shao, take out the soup and bring it to the house for me."

    "yes."

    Everyone was watching eagerly. The amount that the prince made was quite a lot. It is estimated that the prince can't finish it himself.

    After all, this is different from the things left by the prince. It was made by the prince himself. If it is distributed to his subordinates, it means a reward.So they didn't dare to ask for it rashly.

    However, just as Yun Shao was about to move, a dark gray figure suddenly came in from the roof.

    "...He Qi?"

    Pei Nianyu frowned, although He Qi should have taken over the responsibility after Lou Yefeng stopped guarding, but didn't this guy wink, couldn't he see that he was about to eat?

    He Qi stood in front of Pei Nianyu, his expression was still faintly paralyzed, and his voice was very smooth:

    "My lord, please ask your subordinates to test the poison for you first."

    "........."

    Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at He Qi in unison, glaring.

    Except for the lord's share in this pot, how many people are left in the pot? You guys are blatantly grabbing food!

    "Ok?"

    Pei Nianyu was taken aback for a moment.

    In the past, there were two procedures for drug testing. The drug testing of ingredients was checked by Yun Shao, and the latter one was always Lou Yefeng's work, in order to avoid that someone would tamper with it in the middle of the meal.

    At this time, He Qi took over Lou Yefeng's job. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with him. However, with so many shadow guards watching over the cooking process this time, he couldn't poison himself!

    Riding on a horse!

    Pei Nianyu saw through He Qi's careful thinking in an instant, so he served soup and rice for one person and put them in a wooden lunch box.

    Then he looked at He Qi, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth:

    "Testing poison, of course it should be. Then I will trouble Commander He to deliver this lunch box to Ye Feng. After all, although Ye Feng has lost his martial arts, he still knows how to eat. This king will decide on Ye Feng.to bear."

    After speaking, push the wooden lunch box forward.

    He Qi: "……………………"

    Then Pei Nianyu was very happy to see that the word "grievance" appeared for the first time in He Qi's usually cold and severe eyes.

    He Qi was so depressed that he carried the lunch box and went to Lou Yefeng's room without saying a word.

    One person was out first, and several people in the room immediately looked at each other.Yun Shao first said:

    "I don't know if the master can allow his subordinates to taste some of the inexhaustible dishes, so as to improve their own skills..."

    And Lian Xiao took out a charcoal pencil and a small notebook, and said seriously while writing down:

    "Master, this borscht seems to have the effect of nourishing qi and blood. Please allow me to study it."

    Jiang Xue couldn't think of any fair reason, so anxious that she frowned.

    Pei Nianyu looked at them, dumbfounded.

    Heh, a bunch of dramatists.

    "I don't eat much, share the rest with you."

    Everyone suddenly smiled:

    "Thank you, master, for the reward!"

    Pei Nianyu took the food and went back to the house to eat, but did not go to accompany Lou Yefeng.

    After all, if he passed by, Lou Yefeng would probably be very nervous, eating like this would be bad for his stomach.

    And in this room, He Qi, who was in low pressure, entered the room, put the lunch box on the table, and said with a cold face:

    "Master made it, ordered me to bring it to you."

    Lou Yefeng stood up from the bed, extremely surprised:

    "The master made it himself...?"

    "yes."

    Lou Yefeng didn't know what to feel in his heart, he quickly opened the lid and took out the bowl, he was immediately smoked by the heat of the red soup.

    He gently scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the tomato first soaked into the taste buds, which was quite appetizing, and then the chewy and soft beef brisket walked between his lips and teeth.

    And the omelet rice with flowing heart is even more delicious. The egg flavor and chicken sauce flavor complement each other. The taste is rich but not heavy.

    The heart-warming red soup poured down his stomach, and Lou Yefeng suddenly felt that the cold that had soaked in his limbs for a month was completely dispelled.

    After Lou Yefeng finished eating, He Qi returned to the small kitchen with the box.

    ——Naturally, there was not even a soup base left in the pot.

    He Qi folded his arms and looked at the crowd.

    Jiang Xue, Yun Shao, Lian Xiao: Smile.

    The author has something to say:

    He Qi: Master, you are bullying me again.
