Lu Zhu looked at Sun Yuexia behind Liu Er, and saw Zhang Dani and the two girls in their bedroom also walking this way, frowned slightly, turned her face to Liu Er and smiled: "Didn't Ma Jiaoxi say it?" You just write down what you taste. It's not difficult, don't be nervous. ”

"That's all?" Somehow, seeing Luzhu's calm appearance, Liu Er's tense heart was also relieved.

"Green bamboo, there are two more to you." Ganlu said softly in the back.

"Hmm." Midoritake smiled at her.

For Ganlu to follow him, the feeling of green bamboo is very complicated. It's a wonderful feeling between people, for example, some people are really good people, but you and their personalities may not be compatible. And between her and Ganlu, it can be said that it is the most compatible one. Both of them have hearty and sharp personalities. In many ways, it fits in perfectly.

And Ganlu is really good to her, during this time she fetched water from Fu Heng, and her arms were so tired every day that her arms were sore, Ganlu always helped her wash her clothes without saying a word, and even helped her pick up firewood every day. Considerate and caring, so that Luzhu unconsciously regarded her as a sister. So if she enters the cooking class and can be with Ganlu, she is very happy. But Gan Lu's identity is unknown, if she is really sent by Fu Heng, there is always someone around you to monitor you, and your every move will be reported to Fu Heng by her, how can this make people comfortable?

Sun Qiang and Qin Wei also came to take the exam. The two of them were at the front of the other two teams and were the first to play. After Sun Qiang passed the exam, he stood aside with confidence; And Qin Wei is as cool as ever. There was no expression on his face, and I really couldn't tell how well he did in the exam.

"Green bamboo, fast. It's your turn. Seeing that the person in front of him had finished the exam, Liu Er pushed the green bamboo.

"Oh." Green Bamboo hurriedly stepped forward.

Ma Jiaoxi doesn't seem to like girls very much, and thinks that Gongzi's promise to let girls take the cooking class is pure nonsense. So looking at their group of girls, their faces were full of unhappiness. Seeing that Luzhu stepped forward to take the exam, he stepped forward in person and pointed to the five dishes of seasoning. Said: "Five, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, twenty, just these few plates." ”

Yu Jiaoxi looked at the plate that Ma Jiaoxi was referring to, and his face was a little strange. These are a few sauces. The taste is the most complex, but it can't be described just by writing something salty and sour. Every candidate who takes the exam will only give him one such problem.

But now. Put these questions together in a pile to test a candidate. Isn't that embarrassing? Even if girls are not suitable for learning to cook, but since Childe has spoken, he has his own reasons. As long as you don't treat everyone equally, why set the bar high?

He looked up and took a closer look at the green bamboo. I saw that the girl was thin and small, and looked like she was not yet twelve years old. But the skin is fair and clean, the big eyes are dark and bright, and the bridge of the nose is straight. The mouth is red, and there is some baby fat on the face. Extremely beautiful and cute.

However, there are no girls in the group selected by Childe who are not beautiful and neat, and it is not unusual for them to be pretty. But this girl has a completely different temperament from others. Quiet and calm but not lacking in agility, clear eyes but not lacking in cunning, people know at a glance that he is a good seedling.

Yu Jiaoxi has lived for more than 50 years, and he has trained a group of cooks every two or three years, and he has already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes. Which people are elm wood that cannot be carved, and which people are malleable, he thinks he can see eight or nine without leaving ten. The little girl in front of her, although there are still some unsatisfactory points, but this smart and intelligent is rare. It would be a shame if I couldn't take in as an apprentice.

But why, Ma Jiaoxi has to embarrass her like this? Could it be that her sins are taught by horses? Isn't Ma Jiaoxi the kind of narrow-minded person who likes to take revenge?

Lu Zhu saw the five plates ordered by Ma Jiaoxi, raised his big eyes, and glanced at the tall and thin old man fixedly. Seeing that he didn't seem to be aware of it, he only cared about specifying sauce dishes for other candidates, so he lowered his eyes, took the five bamboo chopsticks handed to her by Yu Jiaoxi, and started his exam. Hmph, I want to be hard for her, dreaming! With the old man in front of him, are you still afraid of this kind of rubble?

"Count twenty sounds, write them down quickly after tasting, and stop writing for the last one. Those who do not listen to the order will be deemed to have given up the exam. Ma Jiaoxi saw that everyone had picked up the chopsticks, announced it, and counted it loudly.

Green bamboo calmly tastes the sauce one by one with chopsticks.

The first dish is bad oil. The so-called bad oil is to mix the sweet grains, sesame oil, peppercorns, and salt in a certain proportion, pack and tie them tightly with arrowroot cloth, put them in the urn, and put an empty bottle under the cloth bag. After a few months, the empty bottle was filled with oozing oil. The taste of this kind of bad oil is very sweet and delicious, it is fresh, fragrant, sweet and fresh in one, and it is used to mix chicken feet, fish fillets, shrimps, etc., which is the most delicious.

The second dish is mustard, that is, the salt brine left after pickling mustard greens. At that time, people liked to use this mustard brine to cook beans or dried radish, which tasted more beautiful and did not spoil for many years. This mustard is not something that can be described with just one salty word.

The third dish is fairy sauce, the fourth dish is glutinous rice sauce, and the fifth dish is soybean soy sauce.

The fairy sauce is made from peach leaves; The glutinous rice sauce is made of tempeh, pepper, Sichuan pepper, large and small fennel, and dried ginger; Soybean soy sauce is made from fermented adzuki beans and peeled oranges through multiple processes. Although these three sauces are salty due to the addition of salt, the difference between them cannot be described in a single word.

These are all things that the old man once tasted for her and explained to her in detail, and it is too easy to write down their tastes. Crossing is a big cheat of God, and now what does it matter if you cheat again? Look down on people, right? Makes people difficult, huh? This girl wants to get the best results in the exam, so that you people can see!

After tasting it quickly, the other candidates were still frowning and contemplating, and Lu Zhu walked to the table where the four treasures of the study room were placed without hesitation, and picked up the pen and book. It takes a lot of time to write down these differences in taste in the most accurate language, and you can't delay a little if you want to do it best.

"Finished tasting?" Yu Jiaoxi saw that the green bamboo was flying, and then threw down the chopsticks and went over there to write, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and he was full of regret. If the green bamboo can be tasted carefully. Even if he just tastes the taste of a saucer, he can help him speak—he can taste the contents of the saucer. Are other simple oils, salts, sauces, and vinegars still out of the question?

But like she is now, she is just like a little bit of water, where can she say anything? All dishes have only one flavor, and that is salty!

Yu Jiaoxi shook his head regretfully, and was about to turn his head to quietly ask Ma Jiaoxi what was going on, but he was startled when he turned around. It turned out that Childe had quietly arrived here at some point, and was standing behind them, looking at the green bamboo who was struggling to write. It seems to be contemplating, not knowing what to think.

"Childe." Yu Jiaoxi hurriedly turned around and gave a light salute.

Fu Heng waved his hand at Yu Jiaoxi. waited for Ma Jiaoxi to finish counting twenty sounds, and Steward Zheng went to collect the answer, then turned his gaze to Ma Jiaoxi, and asked, "Why?" The tone remained calm and gentle. can be heard in Yu Jiaoxi's ears. But there were some chills.

Ma Jiaoxi was originally a special cook in the palace, and later invited himself out, followed Fu Heng, and helped him cultivate countless talents, and his qualifications were very old. So he wasn't afraid of Fu Heng, he only symbolically arched his hand, and said with an unhappy face: "Childe, you know." Girls are not suitable for cooking at all. Since someone is clamoring to come to the exam, Lao Ma naturally does not dare to disobey the order of the son. Don't let them take the test. But how to take the test is Lao Ma's responsibility. And the exam questions did not go beyond this table, and I thought I had done nothing wrong. ”

"Really?" Fu Heng chuckled, only looked at Ma Jiaoxi with his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

What is called like a mang on the back, Ma Jiaoxi has not experienced it in the prince, but he has realized it now. He bowed a little unnaturally, bowed, and said, "I don't dare to make the mistake just now, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”

Fu Heng nodded lightly: "That's very good." "Although Ma Jiaoxi is a bit old, he has an upright personality and loyalty, and this kind of thing can only be pointed.

Otherwise, it chills the hearts of a group of old subordinates.

Every time a batch of candidates has been examined, their answer sheets are read on the spot, and the good ones are picked out and the bad ones are eliminated, so that they can register elsewhere. Therefore, seeing that Fu Heng no longer pursued the matter of Ma Jiaoxi, Steward Zheng submitted the answer sheet.

Ma Jiaoxi took the answer sheet, saw that Gongzi was standing aside and did not mean to leave, thinking that the little girl who took the exam just now seemed to be cute, smart and clever, and then thinking that although Gongzi was resourceful and capable of speaking and doing things, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy.

Could it be that he was interested in this green bamboo, so he changed the rules for her so deliberately, and came to stand up for her in person? Thinking about it made him a little unhappy. It is unwise to change the rules of principle for a woman; It is not clear that he is emotionally moved by a subordinate. When did his son-in-law do such an unwise act?

Thinking so in his heart, he took the lead in pulling out Luzhu's answer sheet and unfolding it to look at it carefully.

Looking at it this way, even if he has some prejudices about green bamboo in his heart, he has to admit that the plum blossom on this paper is beautiful and elegant, and a person who has only practiced calligraphy for a month can write such beautiful words, which is really talented; The surface of the paper is neat and clean, and it looks extremely comfortable, unlike other answer sheets, which are written and changed, and there are ink balls everywhere; The content of the answer is also very detailed, the fifth disc and the eleventh disc ...... It's very organized, and a lot of it is written after the first article.

Ma Jiaoxi squinted his presbyopia, held the answer sheet far away, and finally saw the words on it clearly. After reading the contents of the fifth and eleventh dishes written on it, I couldn't help but "......", suddenly raised my head, and looked at the green bamboo on the side with bright eyes. The eyes that suddenly lit up startled the green bamboo from afar.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jiaoxi couldn't wait, reached out and snatched the answer sheet from Ma Jiaoxi's hand, and was extremely curious. Ma Jiaoxi's move just now, he saw that the answer sheet was full of words, not at all like he thought, just taste it casually, and then answer it hastily.

And looking at Ma Jiaoxi like this, it seems to be very unexpected. What did the little girl write on the answer sheet that could surprise the old horse like this?

"The fifth dish, salty, fragrant, sweet, and fresh, seems to be made of sweet dregs and salt, and has the taste of sesame oil and peppercorns; The eleventh dish, salty, has the taste of mustard greens, it seems to be obtained after salting mustard greens with salt......" Yu Jiaoxi looked at it more and more surprised, raised his head like a horse Jiaoxi, and looked straight at the green bamboo, as if to see if the little girl in front of him was changed by a monster.

Just by dipping it with chopsticks and tasting it, you can tell the same as the ingredients and how to make it...... That's too, right?

Seeing the pretty and lovely little girl standing there quietly, looking at them with wide eyes in anticipation, he couldn't help but look at it again, and couldn't help reading it out loud: "The thirteenth dish is salty, fragrant, luscious, and has the taste of peach leaves; The seventeenth dish is as smooth and sweet as glutinous rice......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Steward Zheng heard that it was not good, and hurriedly coughed on the side, reminding Yu Jiaoxi: This is an exam, and you have to use them to test others in a while, what is the matter with your standard answer read out first?

"Ahem, cough ......" was reminded by this, Yu Jiaoxi finally came to his senses, and quickly wanted to shut up, but he didn't want to, but he closed his breath and coughed wildly - Steward Zheng was a fake cough, but he became a real cough.

Fu Heng listened to the content read out by Yu Jiaoxi, and glanced at Luzhu deeply, his eyes were like a deep pool in the dark night, so that people couldn't see what his emotions were. Then he slowly turned away and sat down on his chair, which Lie Zhi had already removed from the high platform and placed not far from here, as if he was going to sit here all the time watching the exams for his cooking class.

Ma Jiaoxi took the answer sheet from Yu Jiaoxi's hand, squinted his eyes and looked at it again. Place. Can. No, he put it aside, picked up someone else's answer sheet and looked at it.

After the surprise just now, he felt that he had figured it out. Childe was originally a person who was very good at eating, liked food, and had extremely high requirements for food, so he had a lot of research on the preparation of food.

He stayed in this cottage all day, and if he really liked this little girl, he would give her his favorite delicacies, and then tell her about the recipes and ingredients of these foods, wouldn't it be normal? Anyway, none of these boys and girls who bought it back were stupid. Can you still not know the taste of something you have eaten? So it's no surprise that Green Bamboo can accurately write about these flavors.

"Old horse, old horse, you ......" Yu Jiaoxi saw that Ma Jiaoxi was a little anxious. (To be continued.) )
