Chapter 212: The Food Continues
"No, no!" Mu Jinshang stuffed the filling into the mold fiercely, as if he was stuffing Mu Jinrou into it, and then knocked it out fiercely. Said angrily: "Little slut, how can you do this? So what do I do now? ”
Mu Jinshang is now making mung bean cake similar to snow skin moon cakes, but this mung bean is well handled, and it is green, the ice skin is transparent and crystalline, and it also takes the beautiful name of "jade cake".
In her previous life, she didn't know that Mu Jinrou actually learned such a set of crafts behind her mother's back. It was also at the Begging Festival that year that Mu Jinrou won the first place in cooking and got a golden rolling pin. Therefore, the scene when she married Li Yi was not ugly, it was all due to the golden rolling pin.
Therefore, Mu Jinshang, who returned from rebirth, participated in the Qiqiao Festival as soon as possible and won the crown. It was at that time that she became a talented woman in this life. But the most important thing is this year's begging festival, because in previous years, the competition on this festival was just for show, although it was nominally hosted by the queen, but the queen never attended this kind of occasion.
Looking at Mu Jinrou's more and more relaxed smile, and the more and more attractive flowers in her hands, Mu Jinshang was so angry that she couldn't help herself.
"Why? Innocent eyes! Mu Jinshang didn't feel bad, she thought it was because God didn't want her to go against the sky.
Last time she made pastries similar to this year, but this year she has put a lot of effort into it. She asked a special pastry master to make the ice skin after a year of research, and hired a good engraver to carve a set of lifelike plum blossom molds. But looking at it like this, he still can't defeat Mu Jinrou!
Mu Jinrou seemed to feel a cursed gaze. Looking up at Mu Jinsheng, whose face had turned black, he smiled slightly, showing off obviously. Then Zhu Li said lightly: "Fat girl, how is the pearl rice?" ”
One assistant is allowed in the competition. And with the fire girl, but the main work cannot be done by outsiders. Otherwise, the palace maids who are by their side will record it, then this will be disqualified.
The fat girl only did some basic work, such as cleaning, preparing ingredients, etc., but it was okay to boil porridge. She opened the crockpot and said, "Miss, it's just right." It's ready to serve. ”
Mu Jinrou's side is also basically completed. Then he said, "Put out the fire, and simmer for a while." Fatty, go find three bowls. ”
"Fourth girl, do you want to make three copies?" The fat girl asked.
Mu Jinrou looked at the remaining egg roll flowers on the stand. He smiled: "Yes, it's a bit much." Luckily, there are three judges! ”
The fat girl faithfully carried out Mu Jinrou's orders, and quickly found the dishes and chopsticks that had been prepared in the bamboo basket.
Mu Jinrou's movements are very fast, and she has long been experienced in assembling a hundred flowers. The other two feel more flavorful than the original. At this time. She took out the pickled cucumbers, and the pickled carrot skins she had just used, and also took out three small carrots, which she had people look for and find in the radish field on the Jade Zhuangzi.
The pickled cucumber quickly turned into the body of a goldfish under her carving knife, the red radish skin became the tail of the fish, and two lotus flowers cut from small carrots floated on top of the perfectly boiled pearl rice porridge.
Place the two on a king-size white porcelain plate, top the white porcelain plate with a special sauce, and set aside the steamed buns. Finally, garnish with some vegetables, and the staple is complete.
Exactly. This should be breakfast. There is porridge and eggs, the most nutritious, but also very beautiful, if you don't like to eat pregnant women or children to see, will want to take a bite to taste the taste of the flowers.
"Whew!" Mu Jinrou wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and said with a smile: "It's finally done." ”
The flowers in the small silver bottle really didn't look like food from a distance, but the flower-shaped buns on the plate were crystal clear, with two colors, and you could faintly see the filling inside. The fragrance makes some people who don't eat much breakfast feel hungry.
When she was done, she looked at the others.
What the white forsythia does is the simplest, just cook the various colored rice and put it into the mold that Mu Jinrou prepared for her. Finally, arrange the plate and add the small pickled carrots cut into plum blossoms.
It's just that she said that her knife skills are not bad, and she can weave small baskets with bamboo, and Mu Jinrou prepared more small props for her.
The rice of the white forsythia was already cooked, and she had just made a small bamboo basket out of thin bamboo. Even the small plum blossoms made of pickled radish have been cut a lot, and the big and small evils are beautiful, and there are all kinds of colors.
Mu Jinrou's plan for her is to use various colors of rice to form a pattern of pandas picking up flat burdens in the wild. With molds, none of this is a problem.
After pressing the black and white rice into different positions in the mold, she then laid out the green grass, which of course was boiled in water with green vegetable juice.
Finally, she put the colorful rice into the small bamboo basket she had braided, and of course this bamboo basket could touch the plate. Finally, sprinkle the cut out small plum blossoms on the grass and in the bamboo basket. In this way, the white forsythia is also completed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both did a great job.
Looking at Luo Erniang again, she pinched out a small flower cat, which was filled inside, which was a deformation of the bun, and the outer color was dyed with vegetable juice. And the little flower cat crouched on the edge of the plate and looked at a fish with bones exposed. The fish was fried in eggs, and the bones inside were radish strips.
How can such an egg be fried? With the mold, everything is not a problem!
Mu Jinrou smiled happily, it seemed that she had another business that could make money. If a few of them win today, this kind of small mold will inevitably become popular in the capital, and Xiao Lu will have to make more of it, and use silver, and sell it for several times more than the original silver.
Looking at Princess Ruyu again, she was a little flustered, but under the prompting of the palace maid next to her, she could finish it safely. Now it is also being plated.
In fact, what she did was not easy at all, because it used fried. What she has to do is to knead the pigeon with flour and steam it, and then add an eye made of red beans.
And this fried bun is a fried bun, and the materials in it are also very particular, worthy of a royal princess. These materials come with just a mouth.
The fried buns are coated with a layer of egg yolk on the outside, and the golden yellow is particularly beautiful. In the end, it is the size of a pigeon's egg, and it is not easy to do this.
This small fried bun is served in a glass cup. Put it on a large plate, and on the outside of the plate are pigeons poking their heads in. In fact, this composition is somewhat similar to Luo Erniang, but the ingredients are very different.
In the end, it was a simple carving of a flower, and then some vegetable leaves were put to decorate, and it really looked like that.
Princess Ruyu looked around, and finally looked at Mu Jinrou and nodded at her. The latter nodded at her as well.
"It's done!" Princess Ruyu was the first to raise her hand.
Then Mu Jinrou, Bai Forsythia, and Luo Erniang also announced that they were done.
Moment. Several of them received several malicious looks, the most vicious of which was Mu Jinsheng.
"Humph!" Mu Jinrou raised her chin with a provocative expression. His mouth moved slightly, and he said silently: "I'm not afraid of you, you have the ability to bite me." ”
Mu Jinshang gritted his silver teeth and squeaked, this little slut! Look at the fire girl beside her. He said hatefully: "Don't hurry up and add fire!" ”
She's late. If she let those people finish in the top four, she would be ashamed.
Just as she was whispering to the maid beside her, another person raised his hand and said, "I'm okay too." ”
More and more girls are doing it.
Mu Jinshang was really anxious, and the time would be there in a while, and he ordered to extinguish the fire regardless of whether the things were steamed in place or not.
When the gong rang when the time came, Mu Jinshang had just finished setting the plate, and she breathed a sigh of relief. The secret hatred in my heart is all the fault of the little slut. If it weren't for her provocation, she wouldn't have forgotten to make snacks.
Since everything is done, it is natural to wait for the evaluation according to the first come, first to the end, to the end of the review.
I saw Princess Ruyu walking with a large porcelain plate. The fried buns in the glass bowl collided with each other and made a crisp sound, and the idea of the cute pigeon made everyone laugh.
Mama Xu in the imperial dining room was the first to laugh, the idea of this fried bun was so good, she didn't teach Princess Ruyu how to fry it.
"Oh, what a nice sound. Let's let the old woman taste it first! She picked up the chopsticks first, ate a small fried bun, and made a crispy sound when she bit into it, and there was a sealed gravy inside, which was very delicious.
Mama Xu has been eating all her life, and her requirements for taste are naturally very difficult. But she appreciated the taste of the creative fried buns. praised again and again: "Good! Delicious. ”
This is already a high evaluation, and being able to get Mama Xu's praise also made Mrs. Shen and the female master An Ran Jushi also pick up chopsticks.
When they finished eating the golden fried buns, they also smiled, "Not bad! ”
The three of them glanced at each other and wrote down the results under Princess Ruyu's name.
The second dish was a super large breakfast made by Mu Jinrou, and after she served it with the girls, she smiled embarrassedly: "I, I seem to have done too much." ”
It was Mama Xu who was the first to speak, "It's a lot, the old woman is hungry." ”
Mama Xu has no children, Princess Ruyu's usual food is made by her, she also watched Princess Ruyu grow up, and she has treated her as a daughter in her heart.
And she knows all the things on Princess Ruyu's mind, and of course she also knows that Mu Jinrou, who has made Princess Ruyu more motivated, also brings a trace of gratitude to her.
She looked at the hearty breakfast carefully, and couldn't help but admire, "Good craftsmanship, this hundred flowers are really beautiful, and this porridge and this fish are really interesting." Let's try it first! ”
The first thing she caught was a yellow rose, and after eating it, she praised it again: "This is an egg, and the pickled radish in it is so refreshing!" ”
Saying that, I ate the pink peony again, and I was also amazed. I ate the steamed dumplings again and said, "This dipping sauce is also delicious, sweet and sour, and has a unique taste." ”
Before I knew it, I ate a lot, and finally drank the bowl of porridge and said with satisfaction: "Not only beautiful, but also delicious." The old woman is full, haha! ”
Mu Jinrou also laughed, Mama Xu is not young, and her slightly chubby body looks very kind with a smile.
Mrs. Shen also laughed and said, "I'm also full." It tastes really good! ”
An Ran also nodded, and wrote the results directly under Mu Jinrou's name.
There is nothing happier than seeing the food she made recognized by others, Mu Jinrou bowed slightly and thanked her and retreated to Princess Ruyu to wait.
Next is the white forsythia to make creative rice, such an interesting rice made the three judges laugh, another recognition.
Then there is Luo Erniang's idea of kittens and fish, which makes the girls present want to try it. Women have never been resistant to cute little animals.
After reading them one by one, the judges also knew what to expect.
Mrs. Shen got up and said, "I also ate this meal, and I'm a little thirsty." ”
An Ran also said: "Why don't the girls start making fruit platters, eating a little fruit after a meal is extremely beneficial to the body." ”
Mama Xu also smiled and nodded, "Then the next one begins." ”
Mu Jinrou took the fat girl to choose melons and fruits, but in fact, this competition was just a competition of knife work. After picking some of the fruits, he took out the carving knife when he came to the table.
First, the big watermelon is hollowed out on the top, and then most of the watermelon is carved, and it is carved into a hollow and with auspicious patterns. The melon cover is equally beautiful, the edges of both are jagged, and the top guati can be lifted freely.
Then there are heart-shaped, star-shaped, and circular patterns carved from red melons, and fruits such as peaches, melons, and grapes. It's all carved into cute and small patterns, and then put it all into the empty watermelon. Then cover the melon over the pot-bellied watermelon, and the two fit just right.
Finally, she took out the jade melon and began to carve it. The advantage of jade melon is that the skin is almost the same color, and the flesh is also very delicate, which is most suitable for carving.
The carving knife in his hand flew up and down, and an emerald rabbit lay on the watermelon, and the little paws also lifted the lid of the melon, which was very cute.
After putting the two things on the plate and carving a flower to decorate, he raised his hand directly, "I'm done." ”
Looking at the others, they are still in distress and clumsily cutting melons and fruits. Hearing that she was well, they all set the plate casually.
Mama Xu nodded again and again, "Take it." ”
Mrs. Shen took off the lid of the melon, took a special silver spoon and dug into the gourd and ate it.
Finally, after everyone's platter came up, An Ran Jushi announced, "Everyone has seen it, so there is no need to say who will win the crown." ”
In this way, Mu Jinrou won the first place, followed by Princess Ruyu; The third is white forsythia, the fourth is Luo Erniang, and the fifth is a lady from other places, she makes a kind of steamed bun that looks transparent, and it is also a new attempt.
This ranking was unexpected, but Mu Jinrou was very happy. looked at Mu Jinshang provocatively again, the corners of his mouth grinned, and muttered: "You deserve it!" That's the consequence of only plagiarism. ”
At this time, Mrs. Shen got up and announced, "Actually, there is another purpose ...... this competition. ”
At this time, a palace maid reported: "The queen has arrived!" (To be continued.) )
