Did the Crown Prince break his vow today?
As he was about to enjoy the tranquility, Xiao Nian had already made up her mind. She temporarily paused and set the osmanthus fish aside. While instructing her assistant, Qin'er, to fetch a basin of conch, she leaned over to a few boxes of seasoning salt and sniffed them gently with her nose, selecting a small handful of sea salt that she needed.
She plans to save "Squirrel Guiyu" for the last and amaze everyone.
"Shang Xiaoxia, you are agile and skilled, can you help me with a small favor?" Xiaonian suddenly asked.
"It doesn't matter if Miss Xiaonian speaks," Shang You smiled and agreed. He always respected those who cooked well, regardless of gender or age.
"Humph," Xin'er said disdainfully. She wondered what a mere bodyguard like him could help with, being so rough and clumsy.
"Please, Shang Shaoxia, could you help me go to the nearby market and buy two pounds of mushrooms, greens, and cauliflower!" Xiaonian said, taking out a coin from his pocket and putting it in Shang You's hand.
Shangyou doesn't make excuses. He takes people's money, runs errands for them, and it is his principle of dealing with the world.
He pocketed the money and disappeared in the blink of Qiner's eyes.
"Tsk, with such skills, Zhang Tuo and Tao Xiang brothers are no match for him!" Qiner couldn't help but sigh.
"The mountain outside has mountains, and the people outside have people, our coconut island is too small!" Xiaonian echoed.
"No, Xiaonian sister, that's not right," Qiner came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Didn't Butler Ding say that we should prepare a table of seafood? Why did you ask him to buy mushrooms, green vegetables, and cauliflower?"
"It is indeed a good idea to listen to Butler Ding's instructions and prepare a seafood feast, but the dishes must be carefully planned. If it is all seafood without a couple of homestyle dishes as accompaniments, not only will it become monotonous no matter how delicious it is, but it also won't highlight the wonderful flavor of this seafood feast."
After hearing it, Qin'er nodded thoughtfully, unexpectedly realizing that cooking also requires emotional intelligence.
Then, Xiaonian patiently taught her how to blanch the snails. In simple terms, it means putting the conch in boiling water and cooking it for a short time until it is 70% done. This step is to remove the external bacteria from the snails.
With Qing'er watching the boiling pot of boiling water, Xiaonian freed up her hands and stirred the pinch of sea salt until it turned slightly yellow.
Afterwards, she wrapped the cleaned mushrooms in aluminum foil, sprinkled them with the sound conches of dry roasted sea salt, and baked them for half an hour before opening and plating them. In an instant, the unique aroma of sea salt collided with the taste of the conches, creating an indescribable deliciousness.
"Wow!"
Qinger couldn't resist the temptation of her taste buds. She saw that there were a lot of conch shells, more than twenty of them, and she had a "bad idea". She completely forgot about the "lecture" she gave to Shangyou just now and looked at Xiaonian eagerly, hoping that she would be lenient and grant her mercy, "Sister Xiaonian..."
"Here, taste this!"
With that, Xiao Nian picked up two bamboo sticks and skewered a whole piece of snail meat. She blew on it to cool it down and fed it to Qin Er.
Just as Qin Er's mouth was watering and she was about to shout in excitement for this delicious treat, Shang You, who had come back with mushrooms, green vegetables, and cauliflower, burst into the room and sternly accused, "You little thief, stealing from me in my own house, shameless! What did you say just now, what did you say? Let me think..."
"Little Nian sister, he bullied me!"
Qin Er quickly hid behind Little Nian, avoiding a snap from Shang You, who was angrily smiling. She then made a funny face at him, feeling very angry.
