Liang Chang happily accepted, although the royal family pays attention to eating and not getting tired of being fine, but His Royal Highness King Wen was born in the military, and he can still accept coarse grains, but a corn cob gnaws on trouble and is unsightly, he took a bite, and saw that everyone else was staring at him, a little embarrassed, and put it down in a sneer.

The Marquis of Dongping realized this, and in order not to embarrass His Royal Highness King Wen, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to distribute the remaining boiled corn to the guests, one for each person.

Everyone present was eating boiled corn for the first time, holding a fragrant corn and looking at it, although the sweet fragrance was attractive, but the appearance of this thing was peculiar, and they didn't know where to start. The foodie who likes to taste fresh food was the first to open his mouth and bite down, but he bit the corn cob and almost knocked out his teeth.

Su Miao almost burst out laughing, Ding Ying had been by her side since she ate the bowl of tea soup and beef, she smiled and took the corn cob in his hand, broke it in half, pointed to the exposed corn cob and smiled at him and said:

"You can't eat the core, gnaw on the outside."

Ding Ying looked straight at it for a while, grabbed it violently, put it to his mouth and nibbled on it.

Huiwei and Huigan also saw corn for the first time, and was studying how to eat it there, and after listening to Su Miao's words, he suddenly broke the corn in half, and then found that the crop had a core in the middle.

The ladies present were reluctant to open their mouths even if they understood how to eat this thing, not to mention that this thing looked a little rough, in terms of food, they were more accustomed to eating fine japonica rice, and there was something like maize that they would not be able to put into their small cherry mouths in public anyway.

Su Miao is an exception. She hadn't eaten corn in years and missed the taste.

"Is this thing really delicious?" Su Chan stared at the corn in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed.

"It's delicious." Su Miao replied. Ah woo took a bite, chewed, and blinked his eyes twice, "It's just overcooked, a little old." ”

"Not a little old." The sweet tooth was about to fall off, so I only took one bite and put it down.

Su Miao was eating alone, and raised her eyes inadvertently. But when he saw Dongping Hou staring at her, he looked at her embarrassed and turned his head to look. There was no one else behind him, and he was sure that Dongpinghou was looking at him, so he looked at Dongpinghou and blinked his eyes twice, signaling that he had something to say.

Dongping Hou smiled. Very suddenly, he asked:

The girl didn't think that there was such a big core in the middle of such a maize. It's a bit of a waste, is there any way to make it into food? ”

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, why are you asking me?" ”

"I've watched the girls' competition before, and I think the girls have a lot of unique ideas about eating, and the girls weren't surprised when they saw this maize, as if they had seen it before, so I asked this question. Don't hide it from the girl, she said that maize mainly wants to be used in the army in the future. Easy to transport and easy to store. It's just that this core is a big waste, and I've been wondering if there is a way to reduce the loss of waste? ”

Su Miao was stunned, she didn't expect him to ask her for military rations, a marquis was so humble when he spoke to her, but she couldn't shirk it:

"Since Master Hou is asking seriously, I will also answer seriously, let me say first, a chef can figure out the general method of a new ingredient based on experience after a moment when he sees it, which is the most basic skill as a chef. Like the core of maize is definitely not good to eat, but it is not a waste, even the army needs something that can burn the fire, this can be used to burn the fire, and it can be made into fertilizer to improve the quality of the soil will play a great role, and there is a soak in boiling water for a day or two, and soak it for a few more days without boiling water, and then grind it into a fine powder and boil it into a thick porridge, let it cool, and then ......"

"And then you can eat it?" Dongping Hou answered.

"It's to feed the horses." Su Miao said, paused, and said, "This maize is dried before transportation, which can save space and is more convenient to store, the leaves do not need to be picked, and after being transported to the barracks, they are threshed for people to eat, and the leaves and cores can be fed to horses, cows, chickens, and anything." When it comes to threshing, first break the maize in half, then insert the knife into the core, shake it from side to side to shake the maize into several pieces, and then peel it off when threshing. Maize can be boiled or baked, after threshing, you can cook vegetables and porridge, I won't say it, you can also grind it into flour to make noodles and steam all kinds of noodles, steamed buns, wotou, cakes, you can do it. ”

"So, with this, men and horses are ready?" A deep voice came, Su Miao looked over, Liang Min walked over, followed by Lin Yan, who was still hanging her head.

"So to speak."

"If this is the case, as long as large-scale planting in the country is promoted this year, in three or five years, the grain and grass in the army should be eased." Liang Chang looked at Liang Min and said.

Liang Min nodded.

"Not only in the army, according to Miss Su, maize also has a variety of uses in the people's homes, as long as the court guides it, the people will definitely compete to plant this crop." Dongping Hou said happily, looking at Su Miao with a smile in his eyebrows, "Miss Su is so smart at a young age, open-minded, and knows everything, if she can really use it according to what the girl said in the future, the girl will also be considered a credit." ”

"When it comes to eating, I'm a professional." Su Miao said with a smile, her determined tone was full of pride, paused, and continued, "Hou Ye is a military general, a person who protects the family and the country, Hou Ye asks me such a serious question about grain and grass, I naturally have to try my best to answer, if it is perfunctory, I will not be able to pass it in my own heart." ”

Dongping Hou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at her with a different kind of eyes, seeing that she was tall and straight, safe and sound, although she was a delicate girl, she faintly revealed a free and easy heroic spirit, slightly different from ordinary girls, I heard that this was just a girl from a civilian family, but instead of losing color among the powerful, she was very eye-catching, and couldn't help but nod and said with a smile:

"It's really rare for a girl to have such a mind, although she is in a blooming flower, she is still willing to bother with the soldiers at the border."

"I'm just saying what comes to mind. Come to think of it, even if I told Master Hou, the new crops will be sent to the barracks. The leaders in the barracks may not be able to do it, if Hou Ye needs it, I can write down the practice to Hou Ye. When you want to use it, Hou Ye will just explain it. ”

Dongping Hou was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Then there is Miss Lao." ”

"Miss Su, can you give this king a copy?" Liang Chang then asked, grain and grass have always been the top priority in the army, but now the grain stock is not enough, and the population in the army is large, as the commander is naturally worried about the grain and grass problem, and now it has finally been solved. The manager is not upset.

"Absolutely."

Liang Min coughed dryly twice, he originally wanted to call Su Miao "brother and sister" when he was brought back to Gan, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. After being embarrassed for a moment, he said:

"Girl, give me a copy too."

"Okay." Su Miao should get down.

"What, father, it's just a rough crop that hurts your tongue. Why did my father, Brother Wen Wang, and Brother Min attach so much importance to it. It's so funny! Ding Lan saw that Su Miao was once again inexplicably in the limelight, so she was furious, pursed her mouth, and said indignantly.

"You know what?" The Marquis of Dongping reprimanded sternly, "Soldiers and food are the foundation of the country, your current brocade clothes and jade food are all planted by the farmers in the field, you can have fun now without worrying about the danger, all the soldiers at the border pass are guarding for you, they are all so old and so confused." It is in vain for a father to educate you, even if you are a daughter, the family cannot share the worries of the country. At least one word "virtue" cannot be missing, Miss Su is only a few years older than you, you look at others, you are much more sensible than you! ”

Ding Lan has been pampered since she was a child, where has she been scolded like this, her eyes are red with grievance, she bites her lip, and she is about to cry.

Liang Chang knew that Dongping Hou's reprimand was actually helping Ding Lan to talk, and said with a smile:

"Sister Lan is still young, so don't be too harsh on her."

"This girl, I have spoiled her, the older she gets, the more ignorant she becomes, alas!" The Marquis of Dongping sighed with hatred.

Ding Lan became more and more angry, glared angrily at a pair of eyes that were red from grievance, and glanced at Su Miao fiercely.

The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, she was shot while lying down, right?

After the treasure appraisal meeting, all the guests went to the front to watch the play again, and this time it was replaced by the most famous troupe in Suzhou.

The female guest is upstairs, the male guest is downstairs, with the exception of Su Miao and Su Chan, the two sisters did not go upstairs, but sat downstairs with the aftertaste, Dongping Hou opened a table for him and Hui Gan in a quiet place, because there were two girls at this table, which attracted a lot of side eyes and suspicions, but Su Miao was at ease, and beckoned Su Chan to eat together.

Although there were nothing too expensive at the banquet in the Dongping Marquis Mansion, there were many things that Su Miao wanted to eat that he couldn't buy, and Su Miao ate happily.

Seeing that she was happy to eat, she smiled and served her vegetables, and all kinds of dishes were piled up in the bowl.

Su Chan put aside her chopsticks, and her appetite was nourished by Su Miao: "It's not as delicious as the home-cooked food made by the second sister." ”

Su Miao was praised, and smiled: "Although the cooking is so-so, but the ingredients are extremely rare, you eat fresh, and the second sister will make something for you when you go home." ”

Su Chan nodded.

Hui Gan looked at Su Chan, then at Su Miao, and said with a smile:

"With the recognized cooking skills of the younger brother and sister, it seems that there is hope for advancing to the finals of Liangdu."

Hopeful?

Su Miaopi laughed and didn't laugh: "I heard that there is a special rule in the King Chef Competition, that is, the new King Chef can choose to challenge the previous King of Chefs after the competition, if he succeeds, he will get the title of 'King of Chefs', if he fails, the title of the new King of Chefs previously obtained will be deprived, and the second brother is the King of Chefs of the previous session, right?" ”

Hui Gan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and after a while, he laughed out loud:

"Is my little brother and sister trying to challenge me?"

"Second brother, you don't seem to cook much."

"I'm different from my little siblings, who can cook for whomever they want, and your desire is to use your work to infect others, no matter who that person is. I cook only for those who know. Hui Gan said with a smile.

Su Miao looked at him, thought for a moment, and chuckled: "It's indeed very similar to the style of the second brother." ”

"I thought you were going to say it was arrogant." Hui Gan was a little surprised by her answer.

"You think that's arrogant too?"

"You really think it's arrogant."

"I never interfere with the style of my peers in the profession, only when everyone's style is different will make a different taste, which is the wonderful thing about this industry."

"Although you don't interfere, Ah Wei's style is more and more like you. Do you know that I cook only for those who understand, but he used to cook only for those who can praise him comfortably? ”

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and burst out laughing.

"Nonsense!" At the same time, Aftertaste reprimanded and glared at Hui Gan coldly.

Hui Gan smiled lazily, paused, and continued:

"It's nothing for my little brother and sister to challenge me, but before that, there is a level you must pass."

"What's off?" Su Miao was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.

Hui Gan was gnawing on a bone, even if a good-looking person rudely gnawed pork ribs, he couldn't get bored, I saw him point a neatly gnawed rib to the table next to him, and said with a smile:

"Him!"

Su Miao looked in the direction of the bone's finger, and what caught her eye was Tong Ran, who was on the wine table:

"Him?"

"I don't know why you didn't regard him as your strong opponent, you know each other well in Fengzhou, maybe he is clumsy in front of you, or he doesn't take you seriously at all, Tong Ran is not just a young master of business, the Tong family is a famous chef in Yueliang Kingdom, Tong Sishao's skills are no worse than their old man, and their old man got the position of chef that year after fighting back to Xianglou. The reason why Tong Sishao lost to Ah Wei in the last session was entirely because he was injured in the competition. If there are no other changes in this game, the last final of the Qin'an Provincial Division will definitely be you and Tong Ran. ”

Su Miao became serious, although Hui Gan likes to joke, but he will not joke about this kind of thing, since even he admits Tong Ran's cooking skills, then Tong Ran must be a strong opponent. Recalling the previous few scenes in Fengzhou, Tong Ran had never played in person, and what she saw the most in the later period was Changsheng's craftsmanship, but even Changsheng also said that Tong Ran's craftsmanship was outstanding, and now it seems that this is true.

She suddenly felt a little excited, and faintly had an expectation, a strong opponent, this is what she wants to see the most.

The eyes that were about to move were shining with a bright light, and they fell into the eyes of the aftertaste, and the aftertaste was speechless.

Hui Gan was still smiling, admiring her eager expression, took a piece of kelp and ate it slowly.

Su Miao left the table halfway and went to the thatched house, because she was sitting in the male guest, there was no extra maid to guide the way, pulled a maid to ask the location, and went smoothly, but when she came back, because there were too many similar roads, she only felt that the more noisy she went, the farther and farther she went, and when the surroundings were completely quiet, she finally got lost.

Dongping Hou Mansion belongs to the Jiangnan garden building, the vegetation is luxuriant, there are many paths, Su Miao dangled on the path, hoping that someone would appear soon so that she could ask for directions.

Thinking like this, there happened to be a human voice from the northeast of the path, and a man's rough voice sounded noisily:

"Hurry up, hurry up, follow up! Hurry up! (To be continued......)
