"Zhou Jieyuan, please stay. "It's the bird's nest that comes out of the fold. "Miss Mochizuki has been inconvenient to go out recently, if you don't mind, you can ask the conpoy to feast on your behalf. ”

"Eh!!"

Parvis.

Bird's Nest served tea to Ah Yao and Zhou Bingshu, and stepped aside, but was grabbed by Ah Yao.

"Sister Bird's Nest, my good sister, what kind of trouble are you having with Master Mochizuki? How can I do it?" Ah Yao pulled the bird's nest closer and whispered in her ear, God knows that after the bird's nest was finished, it was like being struck by lightning on the spot, so she rashly let her go to the smelting banquet? Why didn't Master Mochizuki say hello in advance.

Bird's nest comforted A-Yao: "I also went to ask the girl what she meant." Her hand put on the restless A-Yao's shoulder and patted it lightly, and Zhengse introduced to Zhou Bingshu: "Yao Zhu is a closed disciple of Miss Mochizuki, who has been studying with Master Mochizuki for many years, and has opened a sweet cake shop on Wenfang Street, and the pastries served by the shops on Wenfang Street are all supplied from the sweet cake shop. ”

Zhou Bingshu originally thought that Ah Yao was Mochizuki's daughter, but now he realized that he was a disciple, so he nodded in understanding.

But he really doesn't have much confidence in Ah Yao, an eleven-year-old girl, this Xie Yuan banquet, he wants to invite the teacher's classmates, Nanxun County Order, and the examiner of the state exam, although he came here, he has also eaten Ah Yao's green onion noodles, and also eaten Ah Yao's home-cooked food, but how can those be compared with the banquet?

There was still a look of suspicion on his face.

For a moment, the two fell into an eerie silence.

"Conpoy, then do you want to take this single Xie Yuan banquet? If you don't want to, when Xie Yuanlang has eaten tea and used dim sum, he will send it to the guests, if you want, you will take out your real materials. Whatever your final choice, Mochizuki has your back. Seeing this, Bird's Nest continued to whisper in Ah Yao's ear.

Ah Yao pursed her lips, she understood what Mochizuki meant.

As a chef, she has to make a banquet to make her fame before there will be customers one after another, fame does not fall to the door out of thin air, there is a good opportunity in front of her, if it happens, her starting point will be higher than that of other chefs.

That's why Master Mochizuki rejected Zhou Bingshu's invitation, right?

After figuring out the joint, A-Yao got up and said with a smile: "I am willing to give Zhou Jieyuan a banquet, if Zhou Jieyuan has nothing else to do, stay and taste my craftsmanship, you can watch me cook at the door of the kitchen, from cooking to tasting, all links are judged at will, if there is a trace of dissatisfaction, we will introduce you to other chefs, and negotiate a price that satisfies you." What do you think?"

"It's a deal. Zhou Bingshu was moved by the latter sentence, and let him go to the cook without any purpose, so it was better to leave it to a professional.

Five dishes, one soup and one dried fruit.

Seasonal vegetables are flavored with broth, chicken is simmered so that chopsticks can be easily separated, and the brightly colored braised shrimp in oil and the thick red sauce do not hide the sweetness and crispiness of the shrimp meat, which makes people appetize.

Ah Yao stood aside, originally she wanted to make three dishes and one soup or four dishes and one soup, the bird's nest said to calm people, don't worry about cooking too much Zhou Bingshu can't finish eating, look, this is not his stomach is already round, and there is only residual soup left in the dishes on the table.

Put away the dishes and chopsticks and replace them with the pu'er that consumes food.

Zhou Xie Yuan was ashamed, and he already agreed in his heart to let Ah Yao give him a banquet, the taste was not bad, but he didn't know what the price was.

"Zhou Jieyuan, do you still need us to introduce you to other cooks?"

"I want to ask Miss A-Yao how much silver she got for the banquet?"

Ah Yao looked at Zhou Bingshu innocently.

I don't know what to do, this is the first time I've taken an order,

Under Zhou Bingshu's gaze, and asked for help from the bird's nest to no avail, Ah Yao used her little brain, stretched out her slap tremblingly, and said tentatively: "Eh, five hundred wen?"

Syllable!

Bird's nest a popping chestnut.

Ah Yao's eyes accused, how can you be like this, whether you are high or low, and you don't give permission, I am also desperate!

"Five hundred Wen, but the material money has to be paid by Xie Yuan, what does Xie Yuan want?"

Five hundred wen plus material money, compared with Mochizuki's 10,000 yuan and 20 horses, it seems to be a pie falling from the sky! Zhou Bingshu is not rich in hand, even if he has recently added a small fortune, he is reluctant to spend a lot of money, and a table in Zhenshan Building and Gaojia Restaurant costs three or four taels to say the least, so he is naturally busy nodding his head.

The remuneration is fine, and the rest is to agree on the specifications of the table.

"I make a request, this table is placed near the Caotang Jianhu Lake. I hope it's not particularly big and big, and it's as elegant as possible. I hope A-Yao can understand what he meant.

Understand.

Ah Yao gave him a thumbs up in her heart, carefully asked him about the number of people he had invited to the banquet, and listed the menu for him on the spot.

On the day of the Xie Yuan banquet.

The Jianhu Lake Heart Pavilion sat around the mountain chief of the cottage, his teacher, the county commander and the master, the chief examiner of the state exam, and the two classmates who scored the top three in this state exam.

Zhou Bingshu was a little nervous, his hand on his lap was clenched tightly, and he concentrated on listening to the communication between the mountain chief and the examiner.

Everyone chatted happily, and the maid silently and quickly served the nine basins. Four cold meats, two candied fruits, a small dish of dried fruits and almonds, a plate of citrus and a small dish of smoked green beans.

Bad bamboo shoots, bad fish, smoked eggs, pickled melons form four cold meat, two candied fruits are carved plum and clear water hawthorn cake, green plum with a knife to draw out thirteen knives and six rings, remove ribose stains, along the knife pattern open, shaped like a flower basket, in the verdant with a toothpick poke red cherry embedded in the period, attract people to see a few more glances.

This is followed by two small stir-fries, stir-fried shrimp and stir-fried kidney flower.

Roast goose, crispy butterfly slices, wolfberry hibiscus chicken slices, Yuhuan conpoy preserved conpoy, hibiscus crab bucket, ten round tofu, cloud leg soaked vegetables, five major dishes and two soups are intertwined, and finally end with osmanthus soup.

A-Yao wiped the sweat from her head and looked in the direction of Huxin Pavilion with some unease. Zhou Bingshu was nervous, she was even more worried, this was her first battle, and she didn't know what the reaction was.

Yingniang picked up the fresh Cishi one by one to eat, the fresh Cishi is really delicious, looking like the little pearls on her earrings, chewing is not as soft as barley, I couldn't help but add another sweet soup, raised my eyes to see Ayao pestle at the door, followed her gaze, and said: "Don't worry, the sweet soup is so sweet and delicious, not to mention the other dishes you make, just smelling the smell I am almost hungry." ”

Over there, everyone showed a satisfied look, there were almost no cold vegetable leftovers on the table, and even the county order, who didn't like to eat sweet, praised the final sweet soup - the examiner immediately gave a poem after eating the sweet soup.

"I don't know who the banquet is, do you know it? It's also a crispy butterfly slice, the first bite is crispy and crispy, the umami inside is not lost, the taste is even better than the chef of Zhenshan Building, and their crispy butterfly slices are inevitably too soft in comparison. The county magistrate asked.

"The student asked for Mochizuki's ......"

Before Zhou Bingshu's words were finished, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they really sighed at each other's ups and downs. Zhou Bingshu was under a lot of pressure, silently thinking that Mochizuki was really very famous, and his classmates were not wrong.

"No, it's not Mochizuki, the student is shy and doesn't move Mochizuki, it's her closed disciple Yao Zhu who is invited. ”
