Su Miao returned to her seat and saw that Xing Xing had eaten all the dishes on the table, Tong Ran couldn't continue to move the chopsticks because she couldn't look down on him, so she simply put down the chopsticks and sat on the chair lazily shaking the folding fan.

"This is delicious! Ten perfect assortment! Boss Yuan's craftsmanship is still the same, perfect! This this, this! Uncle Zhang's steamed cabbage rolls are made in the old hemp duck soup that has been boiled for five hours! This is Chef Chung's hot and sour fish balls! This is Brother Liu's Caixi whole yellow croaker! Wow, this is the most powerful, the milk soup with a big nose! Ah, I haven't eaten this dish for many years, I come to rub the dish every time I have the King of Chef Competition, this year Qian Da Nose finally made it, and the last time I ate this dish was when I was eight years old! Happy and full of nostalgia, I couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of milky white broth with a spoon and take a big sip.

Milk soup pu choi is a soup dish made with milk soup and pu cabbage, belongs to the Quancheng cuisine, the soup is milky white, the pu choy is fresh and crisp, the entrance is light and delicious, because the appearance is simple and elegant, the process is exquisite, it was once considered the crown of soup dishes in Quancheng.

This dish is also a dish that looks simple and exquisite, and the first is the choice of pu cabbage. Cattail is a wild vegetable, the false stem of cattail, because this plant grows in swampy areas, and the tidbits are candle-shaped, also known as "water candles". The cattail used for cooking is the most tender part of the cattail, and it is this "tenderness" that must be paid attention to when picking.

Soak the most tender stems in clean water for two hours and blanch them in boiling water.

In addition, the Shaojiu used as a spice is to chop the green onion and white peppercorns into a puree, wrap them in gauze and soak them in Shao wine for an hour, and remove the Shao wine, which is a unique condiment in Quancheng cuisine, called "green onion pepper Shao wine".

Pu choy itself has no flavor and must be cooked in a thick and thick milk broth. The process of making seems simple, boiling the ingredients in the milk soup and skimming off the foam, but in terms of heat, it is necessary to let the tasteless pu choy completely soak the sweetness of the milk soup from the inside out, and at the same time, it cannot be cooked for a long time, causing the pu choy to become soft and old and lose its fresh and tender characteristics, this step is the most difficult. The finished dish should ensure that the color is milky white and elegant, the dish quality is crisp and tender, the soup is delicious, a dish that looks light, a dish that does not sound special, such a dish, the finished product must let diners see the hidden low-key gorgeousness from the simplicity, and feel the heart-warming temptation from the light, so that people will be amazed and want to taste the desire.

This dish clearly captures these essences.

The chef of Huixianglou is really skilled.

What surprised Su Miao even more was that she was so happy that she could even eat who the chef was, and she was surprised:

"That's amazing! Who makes these dishes that you can eat? ”

"Of course I can, I've been fooling around in the kitchen of Huixianglou since I was a child, and I've eaten everyone's cooking, so I'm still Ah Wei's senior brother!" Happy said with a smug face.

"When are you going to worship downstairs in Huixiang?" The aftertaste is disgusted and authentic.

"Why not, when I was a child, your mother asked me very solemnly if I wanted to worship her as a teacher."

"Nonsense, my mother won't ask!" The aftertaste categorically denies.

"Your mother obviously asked!" Glad to emphasize unconvinced.

"Nope!" The aftertaste is again denied.

"Yes!" Happy tilted his nose and said loudly.

"That's great! I also want the county lord of Jiayang to take me as an apprentice! Ruan Shuang supported her cheeks with one hand, frowning her delicate moth brows, full of expectations, but she knew that it was not easy to achieve, she sighed faintly.

The people at the table were stunned, and Su Miao asked in surprise:

"You want that lady to take you as an apprentice?"

"What do you mean by calling me 'that lady'?" The corners of the aftertaste of the eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he asked dissatisfiedly.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at him in confusion for a while, suddenly blushed slightly, and waved her hand shyly:

"I'm so embarrassed to change my words now, I haven't married yet, and besides, your mother hasn't given me a red envelope yet!"

Aftertaste: "......"

Ruan Shuang is a sincere girl, and when she heard this, she hurriedly leaned over and reminded in a whisper:

"Sister Miao, you can't mention the red envelope now, you will be disgusted by your in-laws!"

Su Miao: "...... Is it? She definitely didn't mean to ask for red envelopes, she was just emphasizing that everything should be done according to the procedure.

Ruan Shuang nodded very seriously.

Su Miao saw that she was very serious and accepted her opinions with an open mind, so she let out an "oh" and asked:

"Do you want his mother to take you as an apprentice?" She said, gesturing at her body.

The corners of the aftertaste of his eyebrows twitched fiercely, still very dissatisfied.

Ruan Shuang nodded vigorously: "Of course, I have already made a marriage, if I live in a mess like before, after I get married, I will go home to do needlework every day, and I will have children and raise children in the future......"

"Shuang'er!" Ruan Qian scolded, there is such a girl in the family, she is completely spoiled, she is open-mouthed, a girl's family should be shy and gentle, she is good, she doesn't say anything about her wild temperament, and she dares to say anything regardless of the occasion, as an elder brother, although most of the time he thinks this sister is still quite cute, but she doesn't care about the nonsense or makes him feel very ashamed, is it because of the education method of their family?

"It was meant to be!" Ruan Shuang rolled his eyes unhappily, "You guys got me a fiancé who married me without making a sound, and you want me to get married early next year, no one has asked me if I want to!" I want to be the head chef of Gan Bao Lou, when I was a child, my father clearly promised me that I could be the head chef of Gan Bao Lou in the future, because my father said that I could work hard for the past 16 years, but because of the sudden emergence of a fiancé, I will have to give birth to a child next year, why? Why should I give up the opportunity to be the head chef of Gan Bao Lou to marry an old bachelor who is a generation behind me and looks like a fool! ”

"Who do you say is like a fool?" Happy suddenly glared at her in displeasure, and said angrily, "I'm only three years older than you, okay!" Old bachelors? Let me tell you Ruan Shuang, his mouth is bad and thundered! ”

"Just talk about you! Just say you! It's better for me to be struck by lightning, and I just don't have to marry you when I am struck by lightning, you stinky monk who has returned the vulgar! Ruan Shuang cocked his nose and said angrily.

"What's wrong with the monk? You look down on the monks and go to the temple every month to offer incense! Do you think I slack you? I don't like you! ”

"It's that I don't like you! This girl is like a flower-like character, how can a flower be inserted on your lump of cow dung, you dream! ”

"Whew! Are you flowers? If you had flowers, I'd rather marry a lump of cow dung!" ”

Ruan Qian had a "loveless" expression on his face, his ears were buzzing from their noise, he hugged his head, and he said weakly: "Don't take a bite of 'cow dung' at the dinner table, okay!" ”

Su Miao was already dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, turned her neck to look at the aftertaste, and asked dumbfounded:

"What's going on? What is the relationship between the two of them? ”

"Hmm...... Let's count it as a marriage in the abdomen. His mother and her mother are best friends, and they have long agreed that they will marry children in the future. Aftertaste touched the tip of his nose, and was even more disgusted by the happy childish behavior, and felt that it was too embarrassing for him to go to a-for-tat confrontation with a sixteen-year-old girl as an adult.

At this moment, a chuckle sounded, and everyone remembered that there was an outsider who had nothing to do with them at all sitting in front of this table, a warm, soft and easy-to-push little girl Xia Jinxuan.

Miss Xia smiled very well, her teeth were white and translucent, and her smile revealed eight neat and snow-white teeth, not deliberately pretentious like smiling without showing teeth, but a smile from the heart, not deliberately restrained or exaggerated, with a natural affinity, it is easy for people to let go of their guards.

Ruan Shuang was a little embarrassed, scratched her head, and wanted to change the topic to make the other party forget the image of herself just opening her teeth and claws, she smiled shyly and asked Xia Jinxuan:

"Miss Xia and I should be the same age, right? What month was Miss Xia born? ”

"I was born in April, what about Miss Ruan?" Xia Jinxuan did not deliberately conceal it, answered generously, and asked again. This girl is different from the girl who grew up in the boudoir since she was a child, although her speech, demeanor, etiquette and upbringing are in line with everyone's beautiful lady, but Zhou naturally exudes a cool and decisive bearing, which belongs to the firmness of the principal, I heard that this girl is not only the head chef of the Lotus Building, but also the principal of the Lotus Building, and it is said that the scale of the ancestral property is not small.

"Sister Xia is a month older than me, and I was born in May." Ruan Shuangying smiled and asked, "Has Sister Xia been to Liangdu before?" ”

"No, this is the first time, Funing is too far away from Liangdu, it is the first time I have left home and walked so far when I am so big, and I really suffered a lot on the way." Xia Jinxuan replied with a smile.

"I know I know, no matter how well prepared, it's still very hard for the girl's family to go far away, I've only been to Jiangnan once, and I don't want to go again after I come back, there are many inconveniences, right, Sister Miao, you must have worked the way from Fengzhou to Liangdu, right?"

"Me?" Su Miao didn't expect the topic to come to herself, she was slightly stunned, thought about it, and replied with a smile, "It's okay, I don't think so, basically I still like to travel." ”

Ruan Shuang showed a look of disbelief.

Xia Jinxuan set her eyes on Su Miao, smiled lovely, and asked softly, "Miss Su should be older than me, right?" ”

Su Miaoting liked this girl who was polite, good-spoken, and affinable, and replied with a smile: "I am three years older than you." ”

Xia Jinxuan immediately stood up, blessed her very politely across the table, and said in her mouth: "Sister Su! ”

What a polite child, Su Miao immediately got up and returned the salute.

Ruan Shuang saw them saluting each other, stuck out his tongue, hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xia Jinxuan, and said with a smile:

"I'm the most rude. Sister Xia! ”

Xia Jinxuan hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Sister Ruan is polite." ”

After the three of them greeted each other, they sat down again, Ruan Shuang would never care about the happiness beside him, so he kept twisting his head and asked Xia Jinxuan how long he had been on the road from Funing to Liangdu, what kind of interesting things he encountered, and what the customs of Funing Province were like, and then his eyes seemed to be full of stars, and he said to Xia Jinxuan with adoration:

"Sister Xia is really amazing, although I haven't been to Funing, but I've also heard of the Lotus Building on the first floor of Funing, since three years ago, the ranking of Lotus House in the restaurant club has been rising, and it was in the top 50 last year, and it has always been in more than 100 before, right? I heard that Sister Xia took over the Lotus Building when she was very young, and it should have been when Sister Xia started running the Lotus Building three years ago, right? At that time, I was still playing, and Sister Xia had already started to run the family business, which was amazing! ”

Xia Jinxuan smiled softly, a little shy, and said softly:

"There is no way, although the Lotus House is the inheritance of the father's inheritance, the father was alive but worked very hard, finally had a little achievement, the father died suddenly, the mother is not in good health, the sisters are small, there are many uncles in the clan, all eyeing each other, as the eldest daughter, for the mother and sister to support the door, inherit the father's will to run the Lotus House well, is my responsibility."

There was neither the triumph of success nor the bitterness of having to do it in her tone, she was calm, like a steady and wise perceiver, tenacious and calm.

In an instant, Ruan Shuang seemed to see the great aura behind her, and was very moved, and said with a look of adoration:

"Sister Xia, you are amazing!"

Xia Jinxuan hurriedly smiled: "I haven't done anything big to save the country and save the people, and I can't afford the three words 'great' in my sister's mouth." ”

"It's just amazing!" Ruan Shuang insisted, paused, and turned his head to look at Su Miao, "Speaking of which, Sister Miao also runs a restaurant by herself, and it is not an ancestral business, she runs it herself, and Sister Miao is also amazing!" ”

"I run a restaurant to support my family, and it has nothing to do with compliments like 'amazing.'" Su Miao waved her hand, said with a smile, looked at Xia Jinxuan, and asked with a smile, "Is it the first time for Miss Xia to participate in the King of Chefs competition?" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect to win when I was in Funing Province, and even now I am surprised to think about it." Xia Jinxuan replied with a smile, looked around, and said with a soft smile, "Liangdu here is completely different from Funing's, everyone looks so powerful, I have been so nervous all the time." ”

"What's there to be nervous about, Sister Xia, don't look at the surface, at least this fool is definitely not as good as you, if you compete with him, he will have to go back and shave his head and continue to be a monk in a game!" Ruan Shuang gestured his finger in front of Xing Xing and said with a determined face.

Glad to see that finger dangling in front of his eyes and despising him as much as its owner, anger rose from his heart, and he took a bite of it!

Ruan Shuang screamed "ahh

Xia Jinxuan chuckled, covered her lips, and bent her eyebrows, as if she thought it was very interesting, her delicate little appearance was very cute, and even Su Miao liked her a little.

"I thought there were no girls participating in this kind of competition, and I was very hesitant when I first participated, but now I know that I am not alone, and I feel much more at ease." Xia Jinxuan said with a smile.

"Sister Xia, don't care about this, what's wrong with the girl's family, the King of Chef competition is about cooking skills and not about men and women, I won't talk about it, you and Sister Miao are all from the regional competition, you must have no problem!" Ruan Shuang said loudly.

Xia Jinxuan smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Ruan." ”

Ruan Shuang grinned and smiled.

happily glanced at Xia Jinxuan and touched the shell of his brain that was hurting. (To be continued.) )
