Chapter 210: Preparation for the Begging Festival

"Beggar Festival?" Mu Jinrou frowned slightly, she didn't find anything about this in the few memories of her original body. And there was no such festival in her original world, so she couldn't react for a while.

Seeing her like this, Bai Forsythia was anxious and asked, "Are you stupid?" It's Tanabata Daughter's Day. ”

"Oh, this one." Mu Jinrou understood this, but she didn't have any experience in this area. In modern times, Qixi is known as Valentine's Day in China, but in fact this day is supposed to be Daughter's Day.

"Oh what!" Bai Forsythia pulled her and walked to the kitchen, "There are not many days left until this day, you have to teach me." This year is the first time I have a beggar festival in Shangjing, and I have to give some color to those who look down on me. ”

Mu Jinrou let out a long sigh, "What do you think?" Learn how to cook on this hot day. ”

Bai Forsythia laughed and said: "I want to defeat those so-called talented women, tear off their virtuous veils and trample them under their feet." ”

"Yo! Who messed with you again? "Mu Jinrou is strange, isn't this girl a miracle doctor, who dares to provoke her.

Bai Forsythia pursed her lips, it's hard to say, can she tell Mu Jinrou the reason for betting with Han Zihao's sister? If she gets a place in the top five at the begging festival, the girl will be able to listen to her all in the future, and she will learn medicine from her.

With that, he came to the kitchen, and it was now early after breakfast, and it was a rare time in the kitchen. There was only one casserole gurgling hot, and it was the chicken soup that Mama Li had stewed for Mu Jinrou.

As soon as the white forsythia came, he shrugged his nose, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Mu Jinrou said with a smile: "Sister Forsythia is really good. This chicken soup was stewed early this morning, and now it's just right to drink. ”

Under the leadership of Mu Jinrou, Bai Forsythia also gradually developed into a foodie, and drank a bowl of thick chicken soup very happily. He smacked his mouth twice and said, "It's delicious." But. You'll have to teach me how to eat. I made a bet that I had to finish in the top five at the Begging Festival. ”

Mu Jinrou said curiously: "Is there still someone who can't organize a competition?" ”

These words made Bai Forsythia look at her and blink, looking at her like a monster, "You won't have a beggar festival, will you?" It was a lively day. ”

"Huh!" Mu Jinrou smirked, she was really right, but she couldn't say it. I had to tell a little lie, "A little girl like me." How could my stepmother bother with that? Even if I go out, I'm just a foil for my eldest sister. ”

"I've really wronged you." A little lie aroused Bai Forsythia's sympathy, took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me." This time, we must win a good ranking in the begging festival. Defeat Mu Jinshang! ”

Mu Jinrou really didn't understand this, and said with interest: "Let's talk about the Qiqiao Festival, what are they?" Who did the competition inside? ”

Bai Forsythia had no choice but to tell all kinds of stories about the begging festival in this dynasty.

In the Great Xia Dynasty. On the day of the Tanabata Daughter's Day, both the folk and the government will hold various activities related to the daughter's family. this day. Girls, rich and poor, will wear new clothes and go out to play and participate in various activities, and the winners will be rewarded with small gifts. But on this day, the men were not allowed to participate in these activities, so they had to stop outside the park to envy.

In Shangjing, there is a precedent for the queen of the main palace to host the Daughter's Day celebration, and if the queen is not there, there will be the highest-ranking concubine to preside.

Mu Jinshang became famous on last year's Daughter's Day, and she can handle piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the best is her female celebrity and cooking skills. In the end, she won the crown with a delicate snack, so she got the name of a talented woman.

"It turns out that her talented girl started here." Mu Jinrou muttered to herself, there was something about that year in her memory. Tanabata that year. Hu only took Mu Jinshang out to the banquet, and she thought it was an ordinary banquet.

Mu Jinrou asked, "Then what reward did she get?" ”

"This ......." Bai Forsythia supported his chin with his hand for a long time before saying, "I heard that I got a gold rolling pin and a set of silver-plated embroidery needles." ”

"Rolling, rolling pins?" Mu Jinrou remembered the golden rolling pin that King Qin rewarded her with last year. This can't be an inventory in the palace, right? It is a reward for the woman who wins on Daughter's Day every year.

White Forsythia sighed: "What about the golden! The point is, that's an honor, you know? ”

Mu Jinrou nodded repeatedly, "I know." ”

She felt that this year's golden rolling pin was none other than her. When it comes to the creativity of eating, she dares to be the second in this Great Xia Dynasty, and no one can be the first. The delicious food that drools over the thought of in your mind can be described in a massive number of words.

"However, this begging coincidence, begging coincidence, is not just delicious but also beautiful, highlighting a clever word." White Forsythia said again.

"Understood. If you talk about ingenuity in eating, it should be carvers. But Sister Forsythia, this can't be learned in a day or two. Mu Jinrou frowned.

Bai Forsythia smiled: "Don't worry, sister, I won't steal your first place, as long as you can enter the top five." ”

"That's going to be easy. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are red, and I only have cooking skills to get the first place. But I don't want Mu Jinshang to get good results in this year's Qiqiao Festival, and it's best not to even get into the top five. ”

Mu Jinrou doesn't want to run away like before, in this scene where women are always fighting around, if you don't hide, others won't provoke you. It's about trying to get stronger, so strong that everyone looks up to you, and the way to keep your luck going is to head on.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison, "Why don't we discuss it?" ”

So the two of them chattered and discussed, and only came up with the charter at lunchtime.

Mu Jinrou is responsible for winning the championship in cooking, and the others just need to be reasonable, anyway, the selectors will not have a scoring system like an average score. Either way, as long as it's pleasing to the eye, it's possible to win the championship.

In terms of female popularity, Luo Erniang is the strongest among them, and Mu Jinrou will design several sets of unique patterns for her, so that she can familiarize herself with it first.

Bai Forsythia wanted to intervene in all aspects, so that Mu Jinshang could not get good results in other aspects, and the most important thing for her to get a good ranking was in food, and she bet all her treasures on Mu Jinrou.

Mu Jinrou smiled and said, "No problem." I wonder how your knife skills are? I don't mean chopping vegetables. ”

The white forsythia said confidently, "Who am I?" How can you cut medicinal herbs if you don't have good knife skills? ”

"Then put your heart in your stomach. I guarantee you'll be in the top five. Mu Jinrou was full of confidence, but as soon as the conversation changed, "I'm afraid there will be a theme." ”

"Rest assured. Not in terms of cooking. The people who can be selected to host the begging festival are all beautiful women, which one will go to the kitchen? It's just for show. ”

In this way, Mu Jinrou knew it in her heart.

What she wants to do may not be so delicious, but it must be pleasing to the eye, or it must be unexpected. Only in this way can Forsythia, a culinary idiot, get a good ranking.

After lunch, they began to study basically, but the cooking skills of the white forsythia were basically zero, and they tossed around for a whole afternoon. It almost made her burn down the kitchen.

In desperation, Mu Jinrou had to do something else, she had to think about it. There is still half a month to go before the Begging Festival, which is enough.

Next. Mu Jinrou was thinking about a few paintings, the content of which was the food she wanted to make at the begging festival.

She knows very well that compared to the chefs in those regular restaurants, these little girls are incomparable. Only in terms of novelty and beauty have been worked on.

The painting was drawn with a charcoal pen. After a few strokes, he is a cute giant panda. Then there is bamboo, and then there is the anthropomorphic bamboo bucket. Slowly, her drawings became richer and richer, and the ideas in her mind were close to taking shape.

"Hey, hey, just do it. What we want is innovation! Mu Jinrou's little face smiled like a flower, turned to glance at it, and hummed: "Mu Jinshang, you just wait to eat the ashes we left behind." We will go all the way! ”

She's going to fight back!

Counterattack can't be an empty word, from now on, she will let Mu Jinshang be completely defeated in her shadow. Let Mu Jinshang lose wherever she goes. Become a joke in the capital!

At this time, Xiaohua ran over and said hurriedly: "Fourth girl, Sister Qingzhu is here, saying that she has something important to come back." ”

"Qingzhu?" Mu Jinrou frowned, and immediately remembered Princess Ruyu in her heart, and said to herself: "Is it because of the Qiqiao Festival again?" ”

Qingzhu smiled and came over to greet her, and then said what she meant, "Fourth girl, Xiao Dengzi came over early in the morning and said that Princess Ruyu was coming to our foodie restaurant around noon, and asked the fourth girl to go too." ”

Mu Jinrou asked: "Is Xiao Dengzi still there, didn't say what it was for?" ”

Qingzhu said: "Little Dengzi has returned to the palace, but he said that it may be because of the Qiqiao Festival." ”

"Sure enough!" Mu Jinrou smiled, it seems that this begging festival is very unusual.

When you come to Foodie, everything is business as usual here.

This small shop can be regarded as famous, and there are not many dim sums left every day, which is not enough for Mu Jinrou and a few people to eat, and even the supply of those weird flavors has reached a new high.

The weather is sunny, and the green bamboos outside the glass window have grown up and become more and more luxuriant. The dappled sunlight shines in the lounge through the various colored glasses, forming a spotlight-like effect, giving the interior of the room a dreamy brilliance.

Or the swing chair covered with morning glories, Mu Jinrou swayed back and forth on the opposite chair, the lukewarm room was really comfortable, and what she was thinking about at this time was all kinds of innovative ingredients.

Not long after she sat down, Princess Ruyu ran over in a hurry, so that Mu Jinrou didn't even have time to salute, and was thrown back and forth by Princess Ruyu's wrist.

"Mu Si, you have to pay attention to me, what should I do on the begging festival."

Mu Jinrou asked, "Does the princess also participate in the competition of the Begging Festival?" ”

Princess Ruyu sat on another swing chair and swayed back and forth, showing an embarrassed expression on the child's face that only adults have, and sighed: "Alas, Mu Si, you don't know how hard my princess has worked. The knowledge I have studied for so long has to be revealed, and it is only in this begging festival that I have made a name for myself. ”

"Huh!" Mu Jinrou smiled dryly, what does it mean to be in the limelight and famous, she is worthy of being the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and she is different when she speaks, as if the laurel has already been predetermined.

But think about it, this is a begging festival hosted by the queen's mother.

"Alas!" Princess Ruyu sighed again, "The queen mother said that I should pretend to be the little granddaughter of my grandfather's family to participate?" There is absolutely no favoritism. I really want to show favoritism, what should I do, Mu Si, what do you say I should do? I heard that during the competition, there will be a palace maid watching every lady next to you. Moreover, I will also invite the best female gentleman in the capital and a few first-class ladies with both ability and political integrity to compete. Alas! It's so hard. ”

Mu Jinrou touched her nose and muttered, "It's quite formal." ”

Princess Ruyu nodded again and again, "Yes, I have found someone to give me guidance on other qin, chess, calligraphy and paintings, but the food on the Qiqiao Festival is different, and no one will guide me." ”

Saying that, she looked at Mu Jinrou pitifully, the meaning was too obvious, that is, please help me.

"It's ......." Mu Jinrou was a little embarrassed, and finally said bluntly: "Princess, I can't do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I can only put some effort into eating." This year's Daughter's Day is the first time I've participated in it since I've grown up, and I want to beat my eldest sister by taking the first place in food. ”

"Flutter!" Princess Ruyu laughed when she saw her serious, "What stupid things are you talking about?" I didn't want to beat you, I just wanted you to give me some ideas, just to get into the top few. I'm going to be the first in everything else! ”

Mu Jinrou also smiled, "That's no problem, it's not just you, but also Sister Forsythia and Sister Luo, I will give them ideas." You can rest assured, we have a few bags for the first few days! However, the princess has to take the first place in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't let Mu Jinshang take the lead. ”

"Good!" Princess Ruyu raised her hand, slapped her hands at each other, and both giggled.

The Qiqiao Festival is getting closer and closer, and Mu Jinrou's plan is becoming more and more mature. In addition to Princess Ruyu, the kitchen idiot of Bai Forsythia and Luo Erniang, a girl who can only cook decent food, are adjusted. It's pretty much the same.

Mu Jinrou has heard a lot of rumors these days, and every time she hears her, she laughs twice, which is really refreshing.

To her surprise, there were not many rumors about Andingbo's Mansion in Shangjing, which showed how much effort it took to deal with the aftermath there.

The only thing worth gossiping about is Mu Boyuan's marriage to Bai Zhi. Two people who had no intersection actually got engaged in a flash, and completed five of the six ceremonies at once, and now they are only waiting for the "welcome" ceremony after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

However, there are still some rumors about Mu Jinsheng, because of Bai Zhi and Lu Wanjun, the two of them hate her so much, how can they not do some small tricks in secret.

But none of this can stop the coming of the begging festival.

On the 7th of July, the wind was beautiful and a little hot. Everyone who received the post was already ready.

The organizer is the queen of the main palace of this dynasty, but it is not certain whether she can come to the scene, but this is undoubtedly a feast for the daughters of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. There are many ladies who still come from afar, and they are eyeing the laurels.

The venue is located in the Hundred Gardens on the Qin Palace, which makes Mu Jinrou, who said that she will not come to the Qin Palace, has to break her promise once, all to defeat Mu Jinsheng. For such a reason, Mu Jinrou didn't feel any sin, so she broke her promise happily! (To be continued.) )
