Ah Yao didn't know that Mochizuki and Bird's Nest were inside, so she was surprised that the maid took the tray and walked into the box, the heavy curtains fluttered, and she vaguely saw the woman inside shaking gold, but the maid could see it.

Probably who it is.

In front of the box, several judges sat in a row, the maids passed by, and the people on the edge sniffed and glanced at the soup bowl, revealing a hint of surprise.

The maid half-crouched in front of the eldest princess for a few seconds so that she could see what was inside the bowl, and then calmly got up and left—she had done the same before, and it was already a great honor for the cooks to read these dishes in front of the eldest princess, and only a very few people and dishes got into her eyes.

"Wait, you put it here, scoop a spoonful and I'll taste it. ”

The eldest princess spoke up to stop her from leaving, and the maid first brought the chrysanthemum tofu to the table, and carefully scooped it up.

A few chrysanthemums float in the clear soup, and the golden soup base sets off the snow-white of the chrysanthemums, and a wolfberry is dotted in the middle to show the stamen.

"Bengong is not mistaken, your little apprentice only got a piece of tofu on the spot, and a piece of tofu can make a few chrysanthemums like this, just like a hibiscus out of the water. The eldest princess said, she teased with chopsticks: "The idea is good, and the hands are skillful." ”

Mochizuki replied: "Mochizuki thanked the eldest princess for her praise on behalf of her apprentice Jiang Yao. ”

"Tell me how this is done. ”

Mochizuki explained.

The chrysanthemums are cut with tofu, and they are not as thin as a hair, and if you look closely, you can see that the edges of the "petals" are still angular. This is a knife dish, which is a great test of the chef's knife skills, cutting the tofu longitudinally and horizontally, and each knife is not cut to the end, so as to ensure that the bottom can become a "calyx" when it is picked up. If the spacing between each knife is too sparse, it will not bloom like a flower in the water after vertical and horizontal, and if the spacing between each knife is so thin that the previous knife is cut, it will be chopped into puree.

But Ah Yao's mind on the top was not only that, a piece of tofu was cut into four pieces by her, two of which were divided into two pieces and turned into four small pieces, and the big one was used by her to cut into cylinders, and then she began to cut more than 30 knives longitudinally and more than 30 knives horizontally.

After getting the water, I cut the top into petals with a knife in the water, and finally drained the water, moved it to the soup bowl, poured the broth into the edge of the soup bowl to avoid breaking the shredded tofu, and steamed it in the pot.

The eldest princess looked fond of it, scooped a spoonful of a whole chrysanthemum and soup, blew the heat into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then smiled, signaling the maid to take the soup out.

Mochizuki tightened in his heart, as expected.

The look and color combination of this dish are beautiful, but in terms of taste-

The tofu itself only has the flavor of beans, and if you choose tender tofu, you can still taste tender. The appearance of this dish does not make people have an appetite, and even if you eat it, it does not have much taste, and it depends on the seasoning of the dashi, and the quality of the dashi is very important.

And Ah Yao's mistake is in this broth!

She could smell that the ham inside was not used well, and the ingredients purchased in a short time could not be controlled by the cook, and the quality was inferior.

The maid went in for a while, and the judges outside were talking.

The visitors upstairs are also talking to each other:

"I'm not wrong about this little girl, I only grabbed a piece of tofu an hour ago?"

"It's her, that piece of tofu made into a chrysanthemum?"

"It's too far away, it seems to be vaguely seen, right, a piece of tofu was really made into a flower by her, carved with radish I know, how to carve tofu?"

"It's nothing more than a knife dish, and there's nothing unusual about it. ”

"Since it's a knife dish that isn't unusual, why did that dish stay in it for so long?"

Ah Yao cheered herself up in her heart, waited for the maid to come out, gave each of the judges a bowl of soup, and the chrysanthemum tofu was finished.

They tried to take a bite and told Ah Yao to go down and wait.

The incense burner on the table had burned out to keep time, and the eunuch inspected the incense feet and announced in a loud voice: "The time has come - those who exceed the time will be eliminated!"

There's no one in the kitchen who hasn't finished it.

The maid replied, the judges and the eunuch were satisfied and put down their hearts, this was the first time that the eldest princess came to watch the competition, but fortunately there were no moths. Several people, along with the judges, began to comment and jot down the outstanding dishes.

The participants who came to participate in the competition had their own dishes, and they all had to strive to enter the four divisions and six games, and as for who the final lottery was, it depended on the officials' preference for those dishes.

When they were planning their ranking, Ah Yao was summoned and was able to enter the box.

"Look, it seems that this little girl has a bright future. ”

“……”

Ah Yao followed the maid into the box, and the person inside had been mentioned in advance to be the eldest princess, and after entering, she saluted at the maid's signal.

"Please, this is not a palace, and there is no need for complicated etiquette. ”

The eldest princess is quite good, and her voice is good, and it sounds very gentle. Ah Yao thought to herself, she got up from Shanruliu, and before she raised her eyes to see what the eldest princess looked like, she saw the bird's nest behind her and the moon on her side.

What's going on?

The bird's nest is there, she can understand, but ...... What's going on with Mochizuki? Isn't it because Mochizuki doesn't return to the capital because of his sensitive identity and involvement in the old case of the previous dynasty?

But Bird's Nest and Mochizuki didn't give her extra glances, looking down at the ground, what could she do?

Eldest Princess: "Your chrysanthemum tofu looks good." Can you make this tofu even finer?"

All the brain supplements came to an abrupt end now, and Ah Yao retracted her thoughts and replied seriously: "Back to the eldest princess, it's okay." But at that time, the people considered that if all the food was made extremely thin and thin, it would lose its original taste. The same is true for chrysanthemum tofu, which has more than 60 knives in it, and you can see the edges and corners if you look closely, if you cut it to more than 80 knives, then it will be like a cloud of flowers, but in this way, it will have a vain appearance and no taste. ”

"Even if you use broth, you can't make it taste?" asked the eldest princess again.

"You need to outline it into a thick soup and give it a different flavor. The soup stock can be adjusted, but it is not hidden from the eldest princess, presumably the eldest princess can also taste it, the taste of this soup stock is lacking, and the materials are insufficient, so I can only find a way to balance the lack of soup stock with the taste of tofu. ”

Ah Yao replied, and then quietly raised her eyes to look at the moon and the bird's nest. Master Mochizuki, what do you think of my answer, is it too honest?

However, the eldest princess is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, and the soup stock is commonly used in cooking, whether it is good or bad, she must not be able to hide her tongue.

"You little apprentice is sincere. The eldest princess turned back to Mochizuki and said, "It's not like you at all." ”

"The eldest princess has sensitive taste buds, how dare she deceive. Mochizuki said.

The eldest princess and Master Mochizuki ...... Is it old knowledge?

"Little girl, are you interested in cooking in my princess's mansion?"

The eldest princess suddenly turned her head and invited A-Yao.
