She turned around, but saw Mo Huaijin standing behind her. The invigilator saluted, but Mo Huaijin was silent and said:

"Shhhh

The invigilator asked in a whisper:

"May I ask what the prince commands?"

"You know, this king is the chief examiner, so come down and see, how are the candidates doing, walking here, suddenly thirsty, you go back to the imperial dining room to stew a bowl of autumn chrysanthemum soup for this king."

Mo Huaijin pulled out a stool and sat down, and the invigilator said:

"But that's not right, isn't it? The young lady hasn't reported the name of the dish yet, and she is still waiting to report the name of the dish to her so that the imperial dining room can deliver the food? ”

"There is this king. What are you worried about? ”

The invigilator still didn't leave, according to the regulations, he couldn't leave, but he didn't dare to disobey the prince's order, and he didn't know what to do, Mo Huaijin was a little impatient.

"Didn't you hear the king's words? Or do you think she is from this king's palace, and this king will protect her? ”

"No, no, that's not what it means."

"Why don't you go soon?"

The invigilator replied "yes, yes", favoritism and fraud, there have been all dynasties and dynasties, and the imperial examination cannot be completely fair, not to mention that this kind of queen herself presides, and the candidates are all relatives of the emperor, there will definitely be cats, he doesn't want to contradict King Zhao and commit it in his hands. So he hurried and fled.

Hua Qing didn't know why Mo Huaijin came to monitor her cooking, but before she could report the name of the dish, the imperial dining room sent the ingredients over, and Hua Qing took a look.

Crabs, six, oranges, two, **, 7 flowers, rice wine, one can, vinegar, one can, salt, one can.

She couldn't help but be dumbfounded. She thought to herself, what kind of mess is this? I haven't reported the name of the dish yet, why did the imperial dining room send the ingredients directly? And these ingredients are not the ingredients you want at all? And just now the invigilator also said that she can only take the ingredients once, and she is so anxious that she is sweating.

She thought to herself, oranges can be cut and eaten, what about crabs? Steamed directly and handed over? That's too sloppy, isn't it? But the ingredients can only be sent once, and since they have been delivered, let's listen to the fate of God and do our best.

She picked up the knife and was about to cut the orange, but was choked by Mo Huaijin, he snatched her knife, she turned around, Mo Huaijin said:

"Sit and watch."

"Oh."

She wanted to say something, but in the face of these messes in front of her, she really didn't know how to clean up. Mo Huaijin actually told her to sit, and she sat down, and she just quietly thought about how to make this dish.

She sat on the original Mo Huaijin's stool, looking at Mo Huaijin with fixed eyes, thinking about how to make the ingredients in front of her, only to see Mo Huaijin pick up the small carving knife with an oblique mouth, cut a circle near the top of the orange, and then peeled it off, and the top cover of the orange opened.

Later, he used a spoon to dig out the flesh and fascia inside the orange and make an orange urn. Squeeze out the orange juice from the two orange cloves you have just chopped out, and drip them into a bowl for later use.

Then, the crabs were washed clean, put them in a steamer, and steamed them on high heat for about half a stick of incense.

She watched him take out the crab, place it, and test the temperature repeatedly to keep it hot, and then removed the crab from the crab meat and crab roe. Then, he took a knife to chop the crab meat and crab roe into a large bowl, opened the three jars sent by the imperial dining room, took a spoon, and added a small half spoon of rice wine, a little vinegar, two spoons of orange juice and a little water to the large bowl, and mixed well into the filling.

Divide the filling into two portions again and stuff into an orange urn.

Finally, cover the top of the oranges, wait for the water in the pot to boil, put it in the steamer, and start steaming over high heat. At this time, Mo Huaijin began to take salt and vinegar again and mix them into sauces. I started to clean up the tabletop, and when the table was cleaned up, the orange urn in the pot was steamed.

Out of the pot, put the orange cup into the white porcelain, put a branch ** to decorate next to the orange cup, add dipping sauce, and hand the dish to Hua Qing.

"This dish is crab stuffed with orange. You go and hand in the exam papers. ”

Hua Qing watched Mo Huaijin make this crab stuffed orange on the sidelines, and she drooled greedily. She didn't think at first that this was the crab stuffed orange that Mo Huaijin had said before. I just think oranges with crabs are a novelty.

When Mo Huaijin handed over the crab stuffed orange to her and urged her to hand in the exam papers quickly, she didn't know why, and a warm current surged in her heart. It reminded her of what he had done for himself in the past.

"What, stupid? Go ahead! ”

She didn't answer after all. Mo Huaijin couldn't help but feel at a loss in his heart, and he asked:

"You're still mad at me?"

Hua Qing was silent, Mo Huaijin sighed, and walked out with the finished crab stuffed orange.

Walking to the viewing platform, Mo Huaijin respectfully brought the crab stuffed orange to the table in front of the viewing platform. Then, he said:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, Huaqing of Zhaowangfu, accidentally injured her hand when she was cooking just now, so her brother had to bring the dishes over for her. This dish is called Crab Stuffed Orange. ”

"Injured, is it serious?"

The queen asked with concern, and Mo Huaijin replied with a smile:

"It doesn't matter."

"Now that it's done, let's announce her over?"

"Yes."

Mo Huaijin walked back to the compartment and saw Hua Qing picking up the remaining ** and picking the petals, Mo Huaijin coughed slightly, Hua Qing turned around and looked at him in surprise.

"The queen declares you over."

"But I'm not ready yet."

She didn't want to rely on him, she wanted to cook a dish by herself, Mo Huaijin was really blessed to her, and he didn't know why, she was as stubborn as a donkey, but she was helpless to take her.

Mo Huaijin leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"This king has already paid for you, if you dare to say that the dish was not made by you, then you are a bully."

Hua Qing looked up at him, her eyes widened, but the threatening look on his face was only as much as it was.

The emperor sat on the viewing platform and couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw Hua Qing's dishes, because the candidates hadn't finished all the dishes, and the dishes had only been handed over, but the emperor didn't want to wait, he impatiently ordered his subordinates:

"Go, bring one up and give it to me."

The queen flew over with an eye knife, and the emperor, who had a strong desire to survive, coughed slightly, and then waved his hand and said:

"No need."

He himself knew to refrain from it, but the crab stuffed orange looked really fragrant. Instead of making him swallow saliva, it is better to let him cry directly.

Mo Huaijin walked back to the viewing platform from the compartment with Hua Qing, he walked up the stairs, walked to the position of the chief examiner and sat down, with a light and breezy appearance, it seemed that he had just gone down to the ground to walk around casually, and the emperor pointed to the crab stuffed orange and said to Mo Huaijin:

"I said, Sixth, where did you get this little scholar, not only is he beautiful, but his cooking skills are also a must! This ......"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor noticed that the queen's face had changed, and he couldn't help but change his words:

"Although this person is extremely beautiful and has good cooking skills, compared to my queen, it is still far behind!!"

Mo Huaijin replied:

"That is, the imperial sister-in-law is from a famous family, virtuous and dignified, and her mother is all over the world, Hua Qing is just an unknown folk girl in the southern borderlands, how can she be compared with the imperial sister-in-law?"

When the queen heard this, her heart was overjoyed. Then he cleared his throat and said:

"I think Hua Qing's little scholar is very good. The last time she had a mixed sauce rice, she really missed it when she returned to the palace, and now she has found another way to make this crab stuffed orange, it is conceivable that she must be a wonderful woman with a delicate heart. Bengong thinks that this little scholar is really good. ”

Mo Huaijin smiled and nodded, and said in her heart: "It's better for the imperial sister-in-law to like it." ”
