Ren Baqian wasn't angry even though he was scolded. He said unhurriedly, "What will you say if I take it out?"
"If you really take it out, I will call you Grandpa," Caretaker Gou said angrily.
"I will call you Dad," one of the chefs suddenly said.
Ren Baqian almost spat out his food on the spot. The entire imperial kitchen quietened down.
Caretaker Gou looked over with a murderous look. That chef was just casually saying it out of convenience. He didn't expect to hear Caretaker Gou's words and become one generation higher.
Seeing Caretaker Gou's murderous look, that chef was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly corrected himself, "I will call you Grandpa too."
Ren Baqian was overjoyed, "Forget about calling me Grandpa. In the future, call me Brother when you see me. I will serve you well when I come. "
"If you can't take it out, I will break your legs." Caretaker Gou turned around and looked straight at Ren Baqian with a murderous look.
Caretaker Gou was tall and sturdy. Coupled with his murderous look, he looked really scary.
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Caretaker Gou looked left and right. Then, he saw a chopping board that was ten centimeters thick. He slapped it and it immediately broke into pieces.
Looking at this scene, Ren Baqian felt a toothache. In this Dayao Nation, even a chef was so awesome? Fortunately, Ren Baqian had the confidence to bully the aboriginals of a different world.
"It's settled then. I will definitely take it out for you in four days."
"If you try to sneak away, I will definitely hang you on top of the city wall."
"You won't have that chance." Ren Baqian smiled and didn't argue with them anymore. After all, he knew that he was bullying them. He couldn't go overboard.
He still had a bit of a conscience.
After making a bet, Ren Baqian suddenly thought of something to make. "Get someone to fetch a block of ice from the beast park," Ren Baqian said to Caretaker Gou.
Caretaker Gou looked at him and said to the person beside him, "Go!"
Then, Ren Baqian asked, "Do you have fruits?"
"Yes!" Caretaker Gou's face darkened. He asked another person to bring Ren Baqian to pick some fruits to see what he could make.
Ren Baqian cut a small piece of each fruit and tasted it. The fruits in this world tasted pretty good.
In particular, there was a type of fruit that tasted like coconuts. It was about half the size of a coconut, and it wasn't as juicy. However, it tasted sweeter and tastier, and its flesh was smooth and tender. It was very good.
Another one tasted like cherries, but about the same size as strawberries.
There were also a few other dishes that tasted pretty good.
"What kind of fruit does Your Majesty like to eat?" Ren Baqian asked.
With a calm face, Caretaker Gou pointed at a few of them. Among them, there was a fruit that tasted like coconuts.
"Do you guys know how to make juice?" Ren Baqian asked.
Upon hearing this, Caretaker Gou's face darkened even further. Do you know how to make juice? Was he scolding someone?
Ren Baqian knew the answer just by looking at his expression. Without waiting for him to speak, Ren Baqian changed the topic and said, "Squeeze the juice out of this one and cut these into small pieces."
In any case, Caretaker Gou's expression had not been good since Ren Baqian came in. With a sullen expression, he said, "Go do it."
Someone immediately took the fruit to wash and cut it.
After the ice was brought over, Ren Baqian found a kitchen knife and used it to scrape out layers of ice crystals before placing them into a bowl.
Then, he sprinkled the diced fruit on top of the ice crystals and poured the juice over it.
After that, he cracked some ice crystals and placed them in a basin. Then, he placed the bowl in the basin and covered it with a lid.
"It's done, send it over." Ren Baqian clapped his hands and said.
"Just this?" All the chefs in the imperial kitchen who were waiting to see what he was going to make were stunned.
After working for half a day, this was it? So simple?
Do you even need to do this?
"Her Majesty's appetite isn't good due to the hot weather. Eating this is the best way to relieve the heat and quench her thirst. After that, she will be able to eat anything else," Ren Baqian explained seriously.
"She asked you to make this? Even a child can make this, right? "someone blurted out.
"The problem is, do you guys have ice? Even if you have ice, can you think of it? "Ren Baqian said calmly.
Someone wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really hard to say. If they had ice, they would most likely freeze the fruit instead of doing what he did. Moreover, they had never seen ice before. He heard that it was caused by the beast park in the past two days. He wondered if it had anything to do with the kid in front of him.
"You spent so much time looking for materials to make this thing?"
"You don't have all the materials, so this is the only thing I can do," Ren Baqian retorted confidently.
Caretaker Gou was so angry that he almost laughed.
"Send it to His Majesty. If His Majesty is dissatisfied, he will be the one to be punished. It has nothing to do with us. " After Caretaker Gou finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "I will personally send it over, lest Her Majesty misunderstands that it is our problem."
After Caretaker Gou took the things away, Ren Baqian and the group of cooks were left staring at each other.
Ren Baqian was bored, so he looked at the ingredients in the imperial kitchen, such as fruits, vegetables, and meat. For those he didn't know, he put them all into his mouth to taste.
When Caretaker Gou sent the bowl of shaved ice to the palace, the empress was lying lazily on the couch.
There were several basins of ice cubes placed on the ground around them, emitting a dense chill. This caused the temperature in the palace to drop quite a bit.
"Your Majesty." Caretaker Gou took out a bowl from the ice basin. "This is made by that fellow with the surname Ren from the beast park."
He emphasized on the words "that fellow with the surname Ren from the beast park."
"Oh?" The empress responded lazily. Immediately, someone brought the bowl over to test for poison and taste. After that, the bowl was placed in front of the empress.
"What is this?" the empress looked at the thing in the bowl and asked.
"I don't know either."
The empress stirred it with a spoon and put a little into her mouth. Her eyes lit up.
The flesh, juice, and ice were mixed together. When she ate it, it cooled her heart.
After eating a few mouthfuls, the empress nodded her head and said, "Not bad, it suits my taste. Is there anything else?"
Caretaker Gou was a little surprised that the empress said it was not bad.
After all, he had seen how it was made from the beginning to the end. It was just shaved ice cubes and then poured the flesh and juice over it. It wasn't anything special.
Yet, such a simple thing suited the empress very well. However, the empress didn't praise the meticulously prepared meals in the imperial kitchen.
This made him feel somewhat defeated.
However, he quickly replied, "He said that the imperial kitchen didn't have a complete set of seasonings and didn't cook anything else."
"What did he say?" the empress asked with interest.
"He said …" Caretaker Gou was angry when he thought about what happened just now, "It wasn't even enough to make zhajiang noodles."
"What's zhajiang noodles?" the empress asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Caretaker Gou answered first before saying angrily, "However, this person is purely spouting nonsense. These are the only seasonings used. Even the Yun Nation's palace is the same. I haven't even heard of those things that he said. "
"And then?" the empress asked with interest.
"He said that he would bring it out in four days. However, I don't believe it. Even if there are other seasonings that few people know about, they can't be brought out in a few days. I feel that he is stalling for time, "Caretaker Gou said.
"Why is he stalling for time?"
"I don't know about this."
"It's only four days. We will know after a while," the empress said indifferently.
"Pass it down and let him go back to prepare. I will see what he can make in four days," the empress said.
She wasn't the least bit interested in what happened in the imperial kitchen. What she was interested in was what Ren Baqian could actually make.
