After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 380: Taking Over the Imperial Kitchen

"Cooking!"

Shen Nanzhi was very shocked, but her heart was filled with joy. Was the Queen Mother going to give the imperial kitchen to her as well?

so good?

The Queen Mother thought she was unwilling, "Filial piety is not something you can just say. Are you not happy about such a small thing?"

"With pleasure, very much so, I'll go right away."

On the way to the imperial kitchen, Shen Nanzhi was thinking about whether to make hot pot or pork belly and chicken. Countless kinds of food came to mind, and it was a bit difficult to decide.

Du Juan was now on her side with all her heart, and said, "Miss, don't worry. Cooking is just for show. When the imperial chefs have finished cooking, you can just bring it over."

"No, the Queen Mother will not be satisfied."

Du Juan sighed, "The Queen Mother is the most cunning and difficult to serve. The Regent is really a fool. Does he really not care about you?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled: "You change so quickly, girl. How dare you say bad things about the Queen Mother so soon?

The Regent will definitely not ignore me. He knows that I am having fun and did not come to disturb me. Don't worry, no one else can be the Regent Princess except me."

"Really? Miss Shen is so sure?"

"Of course, it was the regent who begged me to marry him, but I didn't have to marry him. The marriage certificate has been written to me. It depends on when I am happy to give him a status."

Dujuan was stunned. What nonsense was the girl talking about in broad daylight?

The other palace maids also looked unconvinced. That was the regent. How many people had fought hard for the position of a concubine? Where did Miss Shen get her confidence from?

Shen Nanzhi didn't explain much, they would know it slowly.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen was named Ma. He was very surprised to see her coming over: "Why did Miss Shen come here in person? Just tell us what you want to eat and we will personally bring it to you."

The reason they were so respectful was naturally not because of Shen Nanzhi's ability, but because of the regent's face. The empress dowager could make things difficult for Miss Shen, but they dared not. If the time came and the gods fought, these little devils would suffer.

Servants also have their own set of survival rules, and they can clearly see who can be offended and who cannot be offended.

"I will cook for the Queen Mother myself. You can just find two kitchen assistants to help me."

"Ah, you really want to do it yourself?"

"Yes, to show my sincerity. Do you doubt my filial piety to the Queen Mother?"

"No, I dare not. It's not because I'm afraid of making you suffer."

"Don't talk nonsense, let me see what ingredients you have."

Shen Nanzhi has tried all kinds of delicacies from all over the country. He also studies their cooking methods, which he also uses as a topic of conversation when socializing with others.

However, she only knew the general method. When it came to actually making it, there was a world of difference. But it didn't matter. These imperial chefs had been dealing with dishes all their lives. As long as she could tell them, they could make it almost exactly.

The imperial chefs didn't care at first, but after Shen Nanzhi fiddled with it for a while, an overbearing aroma spread throughout the imperial kitchen, attracting everyone.

"Miss Shen, what dish are you cooking? Why haven't we seen it before?"

"This is the hotpot base. I'm cooking it now. You can eat it with meat, just like the hotpot we have here, but my flavor is stronger.

Everyone can try it later. If you like it, I will teach you."

"I don't dare to steal your skills, it's good enough to have a taste."

"It's not stealing someone's skills. I don't rely on this to support my family. We can communicate with each other. I have many recipes for delicious food, but I can't make them due to my limited ability. We can learn from each other and research more delicious food. Then I can eat the delicious food I want."

This was her true feelings. The royal chefs did not have so many ulterior motives and were focused on studying cooking. They quickly became friends with Shen Nanzhi.

There is no lunch in the palace. At most, there is a snack and then afternoon tea. Dinner is served early and the dishes are also rich.

Today's snacks were something I had never seen before, small yellow snacks, soft and fluffy, with a milky aroma: "This is a small milky cake developed by Miss Shen, please try it, Your Majesty."

"She did it?"

"Yes, Miss Shen is busy making dinner and has no time to serve. The Queen Mother will try it to see if it suits your taste, and Miss Shen will make some improvements."

The Queen Mother wanted to find fault, but the soft and fragrant cake melted in her mouth. She couldn't stop eating and ate the whole plate. She couldn't hold back her pride and said, "It's OK."

The dinner was much richer. Hot pot was not suitable for the empress dowager, so she made a spicy hot pot, which was very fragrant. There was also pork tripe and chicken, which was the most nutritious. There were also other dishes, all of which were popular classic dishes, and they were not available in this era.

Shen Nanzhi finally showed up, looking very ordinary. She really had been in the imperial kitchen for a whole day. "Queen Mother, please try the food I made. It's really made by me. If you don't believe me, ask Nanny Jin. She has been staring at me for more than an hour."

Nanny Jin didn't expect that she had discovered her, and quickly apologized: "I went to see the Queen Mother's tea, not to stare at the girl."

"It doesn't matter. I'm starving. Your Majesty, drink the pork tripe and chicken soup first. I added pepper and wolfberry. It's very nourishing.

The Imperial Kitchen didn't have pepper, so I got it from the pharmacy. In fact, many herbs can be used to cook. This is a medicinal diet, which is good for the body."

Shen Nanzhi served her soup without deliberately making the empress dowager suffer. She ate happily herself. As expected of an imperial chef, she could restore 70% to 80% of the original dish the first time. After a few more times, the dishes became even more delicious than those in modern times.

After all, without so many complicated seasonings, you can enjoy the original flavor, which is also healthier.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's okay."

The pig stomach chicken had a unique aroma, and the Queen Mother actually wanted to eat it, but she was reserved and did not praise her.

Shen Nanzhi smiled happily, which softened the empress dowager's heart. If she was not the regent's woman, she would be a good girl.

Simple, innocent, hardworking, and simple-minded, it would be nice to have her around as a funny person to entertain you.

"The imperial kitchen doesn't have pig's stomach. How much delicious food have we missed? This is just for stewing. There are many ways to cook pig's stomach, braised, stewed, braised, dry pot, I guarantee you will want to eat more after eating it."

Offal is dirty stuff, how can it be placed on the royal table?

Shen Nanzhi found this, and the imperial kitchen spent some time to prepare it, but when it was ready, it was really delicious.

The Queen Mother asked curiously, "What is pig stomach? I have never heard of it."

Shen Nanzhi: "Pig stomach, pig intestines, has the Queen Mother never eaten pork?"

“Isn’t that offal?”

"Yes, the one wrapped in pig shit, and the pig gourd head, are also delicious. The Queen Mother doesn't know what a gourd head is, it's just the skin of a pig."

The Queen Mother was confused. Why did this word sound so strange to her? Intuition is not a good word.

Nanny Jin's face changed: "Miss Shen, stop talking, let's eat."

"Oh, that's right. What are you talking about shit, piss and asshole when you're eating? Just eat it and forget what I said."
