Chapter 290: Exquisite Flower Melon
The banquet is already halfway through, and the talent competition on the field has reached the point of white heat, and the previous major projects have been settled, and only the last two are left. Because of the previous gambling agreement between Princess Mingzhu and Lord Ronghua, it was originally just to increase some excitement, so that the ladies of various provinces could watch their daughter-in-law's performance, and there was also a lot of gunpowder smell.
Huiya didn't have arrogance, she felt that she could do everything, she carefully evaluated the form on the field, and felt that she could still do something in cooking, and the female celebrity, because of the limited time, she couldn't see anything good or bad, so Huiya didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that she would participate later.
After all, in the garden of the eldest princess's mansion, it is full of ladies facing each family, as well as the young sons who can see one or two on the other side.
What's more, even if the eldest princess is willing to let these noble ladies cook, to be honest, how many can make a fire and cut vegetables? So this is actually a test, more to make some clever fruits, carved some melons, after all, the danger of dim sum is less, even if it is ugly, it will not be too embarrassing.
Rao is like this, there are still very few ladies who choose to participate in cooking, and they all seem to be forced to come up, Huiya and the other three girls stood on the stage together, and they suddenly discovered this.
Hui Ya stood on the far right side of the cooking test table, and three miles to the left, two of them were the ladies of Princess Mingzhu's faction, and the other was the noble girl of her own side.
Hui Ya saw clearly, among the ladies of the two pearl princesses, one of them was absent-minded and was obviously pulled to be a strong man, and the other looked confident, with an arrogant face, which showed that he had some skills. And the noble girl on her side frowned tightly. Staring at the flour melons and fruits on the board, he was sad, obviously not very proficient in cooking, but because he couldn't defeat without a fight, he could only come up to have fun.
"Hmph. Some people really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and there are still people who want to compete with me on the same stage in this cooking skill. Because the competition has not yet started, among the four people standing on the stage, the confident lady is wearing a lotus lotus skirt. While wearing an apron, he pursed his lips and smiled, but the words he said were very unpleasant.
"Yes, yes, the granddaughter of the head of the imperial dining room today, where will she lose to Miss Jiao, who is not doing business, some people should hurry up, so as not to lose too much." The girl, who was still absent-minded just now, immediately came to her senses as soon as she heard that she was starting to fight, and she also put on a mocking face and smiled.
"You ......" Huiya's noble daughter here obviously has no confidence. Stunned, he glanced at the granddaughter of the head of the imperial dining room, pursed his lips and refused to speak, but his hands trembled even more.
Hui Ya couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the noble girl on her side was already bottomless, and she was so breathless, if the table could be good later, it would be strange. The girls who want to come to their side are also because they know that such a situation may occur, so Yuehua came to beg them to play.
"Cooking isn't just a matter of talking, who's better. Let's see the real chapter under your hands! Huiya looked at the noble girl on her side who was so weak that she couldn't cry, and sighed secretly in her heart, so she had to start helping.
"Hmph, it's not a small tone. Do you think that because you were born in the countryside and cooked your own food, you think that you are proficient in cooking? The granddaughter of the head of the imperial dining room snorted coldly, and began to hit Hui Ya with the reason that the noble daughter of the Xiao family said just now.
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman who looked like an aunt in charge stepped forward. Glancing at the noble girl lightly, with something unclear in her eyes, she began to tell the four of them the rules of the competition.
Huiya has been through so many things, and she is really rarely provoked, even if she sometimes resists, she just doesn't want to be bullied. As for the feeling of being wronged and angry or not being able to control oneself, for the current Huiya, it is not nothing, but in this small competition field, being sneered at and ridiculed really does not cause too much psychological fluctuations.
The rules of the competition are very simple, half an hour of effort, or to make a good fruit, or carved melon, when the time comes, the finished product will be evaluated and ranked by the wives of the jury, and the top three will be rewarded.
Huiya listened to the rules, and looked at the things prepared on the stand, which were as delicate as the kitchenware, various flour fillings and melons and fruits, because the venue was not large, the melons and fruits on the table were mostly peaches, apples, cucumbers and other small melons and fruits, and there were steamers and oil pots not far away, which showed that they could cope with frying and frying.
Hui Ya exhaled deeply and calmed her mood, she knew that she was going to participate in the begging flower banquet, and she knew that there was a cooking competition at the flower banquet, so Hui Ya had already prepared. There are two directions to prepare, one is to carve melons, the other is to make clever fruits, Huiya's own cooking skills are very good, in addition to practicing for a long time, the finished product made Zheng Tu Tu for a long time.
Hui Ya smiled on her lips, and she had already chosen to carve melons as a competition item in her heart, but after she cleaned her hands and tied her apron, she did not directly take melons and fruits to carve, but said something to the aunt in charge just now.
Huiya's kneading skills are very sophisticated, but it is just a cup of tea, and the dough has been kneaded smoothly and delicately and is put aside. And at this time, the aunt in charge just now also came back, followed by a strong maid ring, holding a huge green-skinned watermelon in her hand.
Huiya thanked the aunt in charge, wiped the watermelon with a cloth towel, and cleaned her hands again, then picked up the carving knife on the table and carefully carved it on the watermelon. Huiya's movements were extremely fast, holding the watermelon in one hand, and carving it up and down with the other, and the audience present only saw the silver light shining for a while, the green melon skin and the red melon pulp complemented each other, but they didn't know what Huiya was doing.
The watermelon is not small, it is a foot square, if it is an ordinary mentally handicapped woman, it will be difficult to pick it up, not to mention holding the watermelon with one hand to carve. Huiya's hand was revealed, and the ladies who were originally sitting or standing chatting stopped the topic and looked over, and for a while, the voices outside the venue were much quieter.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, the movements in Huiya's hands slowly stopped, and everyone just saw her huge carved watermelon, and they couldn't help but look at the watermelon in her hand.
I saw Huiya's hand, the original ordinary round watermelon, now has already changed a picture, under the green melon skin carved out of the leaves, a lot of graceful and luxurious peonies slowly bloom, bright red petals, snow-white edges, short is the atmosphere and elegant, people look pleasing to the eye tight.
"Such a delicate flower melon has never been seen at the begging flower banquet in the past so many years!" The eldest princess's eyes were shining, she loved peonies the most in her life, and now when she saw a lifelike peony carved from a watermelon, she was happy in her heart, and she blurted out words of praise.
