"Haha!" The two men burst into laughter, and one of them bumped the other with his elbow: "The little lady feels sorry for the little monkey!" ”

"What is there to feel sorry for the little monkey, why don't you come to feel sorry for my brother and me?" The other person looked Meng Shuangshuang up and down, his eyes were quite explicit.

"Humph!" Meng Shuangshuang turned his head away and ignored them.

The two were still unwilling: "Little lady, why don't you talk to your brothers, and my brother will take you to see the little monkey?" ”

"Don't think!" Meng Shuangshuang said disdainfully, "I don't need you, we can see it in a while." ”

"Yo, the little lady still looks down on people, let's go, let's play with the little monkey again."

"Hey! You dare! Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened with anger, and her chest rose and fell sharply in anger, because Ning Xi and Rong Daquan told her not to act rashly here before they went in to find someone, so she couldn't help but not quarrel with these people.

Suddenly, she was pulled hard, and a tall figure stood in front of her, yelling at the two guys: "Get out!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened and he looked at the moon-white cloth in front of him embroidered with intricate cloud patterns with silver threads, and poked his head out timidly: "Shi, Shiziye." ”

Jun Shaofeng frowned and looked at her: "You can really run, you ran to Guangzhou without looking at it all of a sudden, look at what clothes you are wearing?" What does it look like to come out in this way? ”

Meng Shuangshuang looked down suspiciously: "What's wrong with my clothes?" Okay! Before he finished speaking, a robe was thrown over: "Put it on!" ”

"What's the matter, it's hot."

"Then go back and find a looser outfit to change into." Jun Shaofeng said.

"Forget it, my clothes are like this." Meng Shuangshuang obediently draped his robe over his body, "Is this okay?" ”

"Hmm." Jun Shaofeng nodded, "Go back and throw away all the clothes, let's buy new ones." ”

Meng Shuang's eyes lit up: "You buy it for me?" ”

"Of course."

"Can that be discounted?"

"What do you mean?"

"I can buy two sets of clothes less, I want to save some money to live in a better inn, and I can also go to eat delicious food."

Jun Shaofeng was about to be angry with her: "Why are you Shuangxi Tower very poor?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang had a bitter face: "No, our silver has been stolen, and now it is still the money that Brother Rong earns from working here!" ”

"Poof!" Jun Shaofeng couldn't help laughing, "Do you still have the jade pendant I gave you last time?" ”

"With it! Luckily, I wore it close to my body and didn't steal it. Meng Shuangshuang patted his chest, indicating that the jade pendant was being worn by her on her chest.

Jun Shaofeng suddenly remembered the touch of accidentally shaking his hands in the water at that time, and suddenly felt his mouth dry: "No matter where you go in the future, as long as you see a shop with the sign of the Qi Palace, you can take out the jade pendant and take as much silver as you want." ”

"Really!" Meng Shuangshuang was surprised, "It turns out that this jade pendant is so effective, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

"Who knew you would be so stupid, before I could tell you, you ran away, alas, what a pity, we didn't eat less delicious food along the way!" Jun Shaofeng said deliberately.

Meng Shuangshuang really looked annoyed, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, why are you here?" ”

Jun Shaofeng suddenly glared at her: "Looking for you." ”

"No, it won't!" Meng Shuangshuang was taken aback, "As for it?" ”

"You think beautifully! King Yu was ordered to preside over the cooking competition. ”

"Oh, I see, what about you, here is the food?"

"If you can't speak, I'm here to help and be a judge, understand? Is your family Ningxi also coming to participate in the competition? Do you want me to talk then? Jun Shaofeng had an expression of coming and pleasing me.

"No need." Meng Shuangshuang pursed his lips, "We Ningxi speak with strength. ”

"And what are you doing here?" Jun Qianyu asked.

"That's right!" Meng Shuangshuang suddenly remembered the matter, and told Jun Shaofeng the truth of the matter, "You must help us with this." ”

Jun Shaofeng muttered: "You guys are really troublesome. While asking Meng Shuangshuang to take him in to find them.

Meng Shuangshuang didn't know where they went, so he had to grab a guy from a restaurant casually, and brought out the name of Jun Shaofeng's son, which frightened the guy for a moment, and quickly took them in to find Boss Cai.

At this time, Ning Xi and Rong Daquan had just found Boss Cai, and were discussing with him about exchanging another dish for the little monkey, Boss Cai was also a little moved, this monkey is gone, and he can spend a lot of money to find someone to catch it in the mountains, as long as there is money, there is nothing that can't be done, but this recipe is different, if Ning Xi doesn't give it to him, he has money and no place to buy it.

Having been a restaurant owner for so many years, he certainly knows the value of a recipe.

But on the face, it still has to be sold: "How do I know that this dish is worth exchanging with you?" ”

Ning Xi blinked: "As long as Boss Cai has the guts, you will know it by trying." ”

"Joke!" Boss Cai said, "There are flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, so I don't know what else I dare not enter." "The people of the world regard the people in the south as the southern barbarians, not only because they have received less education from the Central Plains, but also because the people in the south dare to eat, what snakes and insects, they dare to eat, especially Boss Cai, who dares to eat anything.

"Brother Rong, take it out!" Ningxi greeted Rong Daquan.

Rong Daquan walked over, put a porcelain basin that he had been holding in his hand on the table, and asked someone to bring a small bowl, took out a small bottle of sauce from his arms and poured it into the bowl, and finally opened the lid of the porcelain basin: "Boss Cai, please!" ”

Jun Shaofeng just came in, didn't bother to say hello, and ran directly to the table: "What's delicious?" ”

I saw a shallow layer of golden honey in the basin, and the honey was soaked in a few red meatballs, and after a closer look, the meat balls were still wriggling and moving, with four small claws under the body, eyes and noses, and a long tail behind him: "This is?" ”

Ning Xi smiled slightly: "Honey." ”

Jun Shaofeng shuddered: "I look so much like a little mouse that hasn't grown hair?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang said: "Isn't it just a little mouse?" ”

Ning Xi said: "The little mouse that has been raised overnight with honey, dipped in sauce and eaten raw, is said to be very delicious, Boss Cai dare to give it a try?" ”

Boss Cai is worthy of a person who dares to eat anything, only hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched them towards a soft meat ball, only to hear the little mouse "squeak", and everyone around him had goosebumps, and even Ning Xi couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"Well, it tastes good!" Boss Cai praised, "It's really a strange dish!" After saying that, I couldn't help but go and clip the second one.

Meng Shuangshuang couldn't help it, covered his mouth and retched and ran out.

Ning Xi endured his disgust and said, "Then can Boss Cai agree to the exchange?" ”

"Absolutely." Boss Cai said briskly.

"Find a little mouse that has not grown hair, it is better to be born for four or five days, soak it in honey for a day or two, and then dip it in sauce and eat it raw." After speaking, Ning Xi took out a recipe for the sauce that had been written in advance and gave it to Boss Cai, "Please also ask Boss Cai to release the little monkey as much as possible." ”

Boss Cai was not ambiguous, and immediately called someone in to order him to go down, Ningxi and a few people took back the little monkey, and by the way, Rong Daquan didn't want to continue to do it, and Boss Cai was not reluctant, and settled the rest of his wages for him, and let them go.

After Ning Xi came out, he greeted Jun Shaofeng properly, Jun Shaofeng asked them to live with him in King Yu's mansion, Ning Xi politely refused, only borrowed silver from Jun Shaofeng, and explained that he would return all the money after he went back, so he beckoned Meng Shuangshuang and Rong Daquan to go back together.

The old man who played the monkey was naturally grateful, Meng Shuangshuang reluctantly said goodbye to the little monkey named "Squeak", and several people went to look for the inn again, but recently many people came to the city to participate in the cooking competition, and they couldn't find an inn with a vacant room for a while.

In the end, the three of them could only spend some extra money and rent a small courtyard to settle down.

On the second day, Jun Shaofeng did not appear, but found the best embroidery girl in the city to come over and tailor Meng Shuangshuang, Meng Shuangshuang instigated Ning Xi to make a few sets, Ning Xi thought about it, and asked the embroidery girl to make two sets of aprons for her, as well as matching sleeves and headscarves, which can wrap the whole body and hair tightly, and prepare it for cooking.

Once the clothes are ready, the cooking competition will start in a few days.

In this cooking competition, the government requisitioned the garden of a wealthy family in the city, and built a long shed in the spacious courtyard, under which there were 20 stoves side by side, which could accommodate 20 people to cook at the same time.

Directly opposite the shed is a long corridor, in which there are a row of ten Taishi chairs, and a square table is placed in front of each chair, which is the seat of the judges.

The first competition is considered a preliminary selection, as long as you have a chef certificate can sign up for the competition, the entrance of the venue can accept registration at any time, and then then draw an ingredient to make a dish, to the judges can score, the primary selection time is three days, in these three days, ten judges will select thirty contestants with the highest score among all the applicants, to participate in the preliminary competition after five days.

Ning Xi and Rong Daquan undoubtedly passed the primary selection, got the title of the preliminary round, and made a dish with chicken.
