Chapter 211: Dou Qiao
The reason why everyone's girlfriends are called everyone's girlfriends has an incomparable advantage of a small jasper, that is, it can't be compared in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Mu Jinrou is the cousin of the Dong family and a member of everyone's girlfriends, and she successfully received the invitation post, and she was preparing a few days early. If it is said that this douqiao meeting is fair, no one will question it, and if it is unfair, it will be like that. It is also important that each person prepares sufficient materials, and this is the use of financial resources.
Early in the morning, Bai Forsythia and Luo Erniang each took a carriage to the door of the Dong Mansion.
Mu Jinrou was also in a carriage alone, only bringing the fat girl and lotus flowers, and the props and ingredients on the carriage were all the props and ingredients that were tried this time.
The jade melon is an indispensable ingredient, a set of carving knives is what she exploited Li Yi, and there are various colors of rice and beans that can be collected. The quality of the flour is also the key, making pastries without this, Mu Jinrou still feels that she has to prepare this thing well.
What she prepared for the white forsythia was rice of various colors, a mold that Xiao Lu had just made, and a special silver plate. What was prepared for the skillful Luo Erniang was pastry, and some of the rice and beans of various colors were also given to her. Of course, Mu Jinrou also kept a copy for herself.
When she got what she needed, Forsythia was happy that she couldn't, and a culinary idiot like her could show it on stage. This is all thanks to Mu Jinrou's guidance.
Today's Qin Wangfu is still lively, and the carriages in front of the door are parked one after another. Gorgeous, the simple carriage can not be underestimated, in this capital can receive an invitation sticker is a layer of status symbol.
These ladies entered the Qinwang Mansion through a special channel, and when they entered the second gate of the mansion, they were told what was the first to compete. In which direction it is held. If you want to participate, someone will take you there first, so you can save a lot of time.
Mu Jinrou came for cooking, and the rest of her forgiveness is not capable of this. I didn't want to go over and take a look, so I secretly made a note of those venues.
The cooking competition started near noon, and the first to start was the female red embroidery, which was the most time-consuming, so it had to be held first, maybe there was a daughter who was good at this plan to sit for a day.
Luo Erniang wanted to overwhelm Mu Jinshang in embroidery, so she was the first to follow the little palace maid to the peony garden in the hundred gardens. Although the flowering period of the peony has passed. However, there are good florists in the palace of the king of Qin, and the special peonies cultivated by heart can also be used for the scene.
Bai Forsythia, who wanted to intervene in all eighteen martial arts, became impatient when he heard the explanation of embroidery, and gave up decisively. The next step is to introduce the piano. This is going to be a piano fight, who knows how long it will take, give up again. In the end, she chose calligraphy, painting and cooking skills, and she also followed the little palace maid to the peony garden in the calligraphy and painting area.
The peony garden is also one of the hundred gardens. Like peonies, the flowering period has passed. But I can't stand a good gardener. Peonies cultivated in a warm or cold room can also be used for the scene.
And Mu Jinrou directly chose Jasmine Garden, which is the place where cooking skills are tested.
In July, the jasmine is in full bloom, and as soon as you enter this garden, you can see the warblers and swallows laughing and playing in the fragrant jasmine garden.
In the center of the garden there are many small kitchen counters, as well as a makeshift small stove. These platforms form a large circle and are decently arranged.
Mu Jinrou casually found a table and put down the ingredients she was carrying, leaving the fat girl to deal with some of the ingredients she could use, and she thought about going around.
At this moment, someone in the center of the platform was transporting seasonal melons and fruits here one after another. There are also vegetables that can be bought in the market. However, there was not a single fish and meat, but a lot of flowers were sent to decorate. It can be seen that this cooking skill is just focusing on beauty.
She walked around with lotus flowers, looking at the girls who were dressed up in fancy clothes, and once again there was no sense of accomplishment in her heart. In this competition, they won a few packs!
Look at the clothes of those girls, most of them are beautiful clothes with skirts or big sleeves, how can such clothes be used for food? It's clearly here to fight for beauty.
She wanted to go to the peony garden to see Luo Erniang, and then go to the peony garden to see the white forsythia. But she still has to wait for Princess Ruyu, and she wants to ask the princess girl if she has made her previous proposal.
It was just a small proposal from Mu Jinrou, derived from a food anime she had seen in her previous life, but this girl was very interested and decided to use this plan. After returning to the palace, I discussed with the major imperial chefs.
I think that this little problem will not be difficult for them with the ability of the imperial chefs, but why hasn't Princess Ruyu come yet? Could it be that it was tried elsewhere?
Seeing that the flowers in the garden could not be appreciated, Mu Jinrou shouted pity and kept looking left and right. As the sun gets higher and higher, there are more and more ladies entering the park. But there were not many people staying on the kitchen counter, which made Mu Jinrou sigh again, thanks to her careful preparation.
Just as she sighed, Princess Ruyu arrived. She was dressed like an ordinary delicate little girl, and she was jumping up and down after a middle-aged beautiful woman. Next to her is Song Xuening, and there are two little maids, who seem to be her personal palace maids.
As soon as Princess Ruyu saw Mu Jinrou, she stepped forward with a smile, took her hand and said, "I succeeded." The bun was so delicious, and my father ate two more. Thank you so much, Mu Si! ”
Mu Jinrou congratulated repeatedly, and then said with a half-frown: "You're okay now, but I'm a little hanging, I really want a golden rolling pin." ”
"Hey, hey." Princess Ruyu smiled: "I want as much as I want for that thing." If you can't win this time, it's okay, I'll give you a few later. ”
"Okay, okay. That's it. Seeing that Mu Jinrou's eyes were open, she showed a knowing smile and enthusiasm.
Yes, no matter what the ladies of those who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, she came here for the golden rolling pin. If she can win a few more, then her life will be much better in the future. Again, whoever has it is better to have it.
After Princess Ruyu put the ingredients away, she left a palace maid to watch, and then pulled Mu Jinrou and said, "Let's go and see the embroidery." I'll embroider a little butterfly, or I won't finish it in half an hour. ”
"Huh? There is still a time limit for embroidery, doesn't it say that you can embroider for one day? Mu Jinrou asked rhetorically, she had just heard a discussion about embroidering for a day.
Princess Ruyu laughed twice. A little embarrassed to say: "Actually, this is what I suggested to Princess Qin, embroider for a day, what else do I participate in!" ”
Mu Jinrou also smiled slightly to show understanding. This is the treatment that a princess should have, and asked, "Then there are time regulations in other aspects?" ”
"Yes, this is the new rule, and it's all half an hour." Princess Ruyu nodded, only in this way could she participate in all the competitions.
When I came to the peony garden, many women were already flying needles. The judges are looking for the most famous embroidery lady in the palace, who is specially embroidered for the concubines with status. There's absolutely nothing to say about that craft.
Princess Ruyu joined in as soon as she came here, and there was no theme for the competition, but it must be related to the pattern of a hundred flowers.
Mu Jinrou admired the peony flowers back and forth. This flower is beautiful and beautiful, and it complements those girls who are equally beautiful.
She saw Luo Erniang with a relaxed face, this girl's embroidery was so fast that she couldn't say, and she could see that she was a middle and high master. Perhaps she also sold embroidery during those difficult days.
also saw Mu Jinshang and Mu Jinrong, who were also smiling. and the three girls from Mu Jinpei and Andingbo's Mansion came, but Mu Jinrou slowly blended into the crowd and wanted to leave quietly.
She doesn't want to be seen and forced to do female red embroidery, although her female red is also very good, but like this kind of quiet and slow work, Mu Jinrou has always rarely touched it.
Unknowingly, when she came to the Peony Garden, she saw the white forsythia splashing ink, and Han Keying beside her. The girl became less talkative. And few people spoke to her, but there was a hint of adoration in her eyes when she looked at Bai Forsythia.
Mu Jinrou pouted. Maybe that's a good thing. She knew a little bit about who was betting with Forsythia.
In the end, she came to Jasmine Garden, she felt that it was more comfortable here, so she took advantage of the opportunity that everyone had not gathered to deal with the ingredients first, what she had to do was not simple, and some of the ingredients were better to make first.
Approaching the official competition, Mu Jinrou still couldn't help but get nervous. She boasted in front of Mrs. Dong and her brother, if she didn't get the golden rolling pin, where would her face go.
The cooking skills are more coincidental than the time, and the ones who should have come have come, and those who have not come will not be able to participate after this hour, Mu Jinrou, who was bored and almost asleep, cheered up and looked up, this ranking is really interesting.
She didn't expect Mu Jinshang to be opposite her, the two sisters should have been the closest people, but when they met again, there seemed to be fire in their eyes.
Mu Jinrou smiled, and slowly untied a small cloth bag embroidered with beautiful flowers from her waist, and there was a set of carving knives in it, which was very sharp.
She took a slightly larger carving knife and tried the blade with her hand, and then grinned at Mu Jinsheng, which was quite cruel.
"Humph!" Mu Jinshang sneered, she couldn't wait to stomp Mu Jinrou now, this little slut almost discredited her, she wouldn't let her go.
This begging festival is better than coincidental others don't know, but she knows the result very well. In her previous life, she didn't care about these things, but in this life, she has to fight and win!
The top five in this competition can all participate in the royal hunt in late autumn. This year's hunt was no different than in previous years, and it didn't take long for the Turkic princes to arrive. However, Princess Ruyu in the previous life did not want to marry the Turks, so she insisted on breaking the marriage contract with the little prince, which made the two countries very unhappy, and the royal hunt also had an accident.
Mu Jinrou got a good ranking in this begging festival, and that was also the only time Mu Jinrou in her previous life came to the begging festival against her mother's wishes. But because of this, she got the opportunity to participate in the royal hunt, and it was that accident that she saved King Qin.
If she hadn't made her marry Li Yi later, maybe she would have been the concubine of King Qin. How can she not stop her from being born again in this life? So this time, she is bound to win the top five in cooking!
The judge of this competition was Mrs. Shen, the first assistant of the dynasty, who was a middle-aged woman who was slightly blessed. She has both children and a harmonious family, and is known as the most blessed woman in Shangjing.
Mrs. Shen was dressed appropriately, showed a kind smile, and said: "Cooking is a very important skill for women, if you are not good at cooking, how can you serve your husband and take care of your in-laws in the future?" Skill, exclusive to our women. This cooking competition lasted for an hour and was divided into two parts. One uses staple food ingredients to make food, and the other uses summer vegetables and fruits to make pots, as for how to do it, it depends on the craftsmanship of the girls. Let's go. ”
In addition to Mrs. Shen, there are also the most famous female gentlemen in the dynasty as candidates, and Mama Xu, who is in charge of dim sum in the palace dining room, are all people with real talents.
As soon as she started, Mu Jinrou took a look at Bai Forsythia and Luo Erniang and found that they were full of confidence. Seeing that Princess Ruyu was doing well, she was relieved.
Mu Jinrou wanted to make a staple food based on flowers, although the main ingredient is mainly noodles, but it is not easy to make it beautifully, so she has been experimenting for a long time.
Color is always the forerunner of beauty, Mu Jinrou always thinks so. She picked out some brightly colored vegetables from the vegetables that had been cleaned on the spot, and asked the fat girl to squeeze out the juice with a special tool.
In order to squeeze the juice well, you have to stomp the vegetables some first. These can't be thrown away when they are used up, and in line with the principle of waste and shame, she finally uses this material to steam buns. I hope the judges can also see her good intentions.
First, the pearl rice is boiled into porridge, then the juice is poured into the noodles, and then the other ingredients are mixed in proportion, and finally the two colors of green and pink are made into thin cakes, and then put them in a steamer to steam. At the same time, divide the remaining color into two, one of which is mixed into a dough and ready to make steamed dumplings.
Then Mu Jinrou personally separated the egg white and egg yolk, and the egg white can also add a little color to reconcile the color, and there are several kinds of colors, and the chopped ones are not only beautiful but also increase the taste.
The fat girl over there has already made all the stuffing, and the dough is very beautiful. Mu Jinrou kneaded the dough of two colors into strips, and finally rolled it into a bun skin, and wrapped the filling made of these so-called leftovers into small, bud-like buns, which will be more beautiful after steaming due to the thin skin. She worked hard with the fat girl, and soon put it all in the steamer and steamed it.
At this time, the chivalrous lotus flower only has the share of being a fire girl, but she is happy. Looking at those beautiful foods, my mouth is full of relish, and I really want to eat and see.
After the steamed dough was ready, Mu Jinrou began the process of making flowers and leaves. Of course, these are all leaves and poles after a simplified version, and it is easy to make.
After it is done, it is assembled. It took a long time to order the special porcelain plate, so she could only let Xiao Lu temporarily knock it out with silver, and then knock it back after this bucket was over.
This silver plate resembles a vase with ruffles, and Mu Jinrou puts the finished branches and leaves first, and finally puts flowers in the green receptacle. Then there was the decoration, and in her free time, she also carved three small butterflies out of green, red and yellow radish skins and placed them on the big flowers. From a distance, this is a bouquet of flowers, which is particularly attractive.
Mu Jinsheng, who was opposite her, was making dim sum, and she had worked hard to see what she had done, but she was not so creative, and was putting fillings into the mold. His eyes didn't miss Mu Jinrou's every move, seeing that she had achieved results so quickly, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and gurgled, "Why is the little slut different from what she did in her previous life?" (To be continued.) )
