"What are your signature dishes here?" Xiaoguo asked.

Xiao Er smiled and said eloquently: "Guest officer, the three of you are blessed, there is a new chef in the store recently, and his cooking skills are very good, but the chef who has entered the finals is especially good at pasta!" Make a good pastry, the most popular of which is mille-feuille cake, which is in short supply every day! It just so happened that a guest had ordered a new cage, and the kitchen made some more, would you like to try it? ”

Xiaoguo nodded and said, "Then let's get some." In addition, pick a few more good meals to come up, the speed should be faster, we have other things to do, and we are in a hurry. ”

Xiao Er poured tea in front of everyone, hurriedly responded, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

After a while, three plates of three-color steamed cakes were served, and two meats, two vegetables and one soup were also served.

The steamed cake does taste good, and the food tastes good.

"In this small restaurant, it is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, it seems that it is not easy for this meal competition to break through the encirclement and enter the top ten!" Ming Ze sighed.

"It's true that you can't be careless, but you don't need to be presumptuous, your current cooking skills, squeezing into the top ten, still have a chance to win!" Xiaoguo comforted.

Ming Ze said firmly: "Master rest assured, I should go all out!" It's you, Master, it's better to participate together this time, with your ability, don't say it's the top ten, it's the first, and it's also sure! Ming Ze said.

"That's right! Master, it just so happens that the person who registered has written your name on it, so why don't you try it, and then you and your brother will be in the top 10 together, which will be very helpful to your brother's grievances! ”

Xiaoguo shook his head and smiled: "You also think too highly of Master!" The so-called people outside the world, there are people outside the sky, and there must be people who are more skilled than me in cooking! ”

She thought for a while, and then muttered: "Speaking of redressing grievances, the so-called number of people is powerful, we can really take this opportunity to try it together!" If one of the three of us has a chance to enter the top ten and is favored by the highest restaurant, he will have the ability to seek justice for Daddy Mingze! ”

"Yay! In this way, the burden on the senior brother will also be shared with us, and there is no need to carry the burden alone! Nuan'er smiled.

Ming Ze was surprised and delighted when he heard that his master and sister were going to participate in the competition for his own sake, and he quickly got up and bowed: "Ming Ze, thank you Master and Sister for your love!" ”

Xiaoguo helped him up and said, "We are a family, why do we need to say thank you?" ”

Ming Ze's eyes were faintly filled with tears, and he once again wrote deeply.

Xiaoguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since it's decided, you have to go all out!" During the competition, you can bring the condiment sauce, let's go buy some things, and get ready for the competition! ”

The three of them rushed to the vegetable market to buy some sesame seeds, rock sugar, soybean paste, rapeseed oil, peppercorns and other things, and bought tomatoes, lemons and other vegetables and fruits, squid, scallops, beef and other seafood and meat, and carried them back to the inn in large bags.

This Zhu Danguo is a good national food, so compared with other countries, the inn has many small kitchens for guests who are away from home to rent and cook their own food.

Xiaoguo and Xiao Er rented one of the small kitchens and went in to tinker.

"There's a lot of soybean paste, enough for us! Today, let's make some sesame oil, sesame oil, sweet spicy sauce, tomato sauce, etc., and pickle a few side dishes! "Little fruit road.

"Master, we've all done the first ones, what is this ketchup?" Nuan'er asked.

Xiaoguo smacked her lips and said, "It's a jam made of tomatoes, sweet and sour, especially delicious, and it's even more delicious when added to noodles!" Put some in the dish and pair it with other condiments, and it tastes great! ”

Nuan'er swallowed a few times and couldn't wait to say, "Master, let's make this ketchup first!" ”

Xiaoguo smiled: "Okay! So, wash the tomatoes first! Remove the bottom pedicle like this and put a light cross on it! ”

Ming Ze had already boiled the water in the pot, and Xiaoguo put the processed tomatoes into the pot to blanch them slightly, then took them out, peeled and crushed them, and then put them in the pot.

"Add some rock sugar, add lemon juice, and take a small nap to thicken!" Xiaoguo explained to the apprentices while doing it.

"Tomatoes have a sour taste, so why should they be lemon juice?" Nuan'er was puzzled.

"This lemon juice is a good thing, it is a natural acidulant, and can prolong the shelf life of food, many meat and fish cooking, will add some lemon juice, used to remove the freshness!" Xiaoguo explained with a wooden spatula in his hand, constantly stirring the tomato paste in the pot.

"I never thought that this sour lemon would have such benefits!" Nuan Er exclaimed.

Xiaoguo Zhengse said: "Any kind of fruit on the earth has its own unique place, but people don't know it!" ”

Seeing that there was not much water left in the pot, she sprinkled some salt powder into the pot, stirred well, and said, "The sauce is ready!" Nuan'er, bring me the jar I cleaned yesterday! ”

Nuan'er ran back to the guest room, and after a while, she came back with a ceramic jar.

Xiaoguo is wiped with clean gauze, and the prepared tomato paste is scooped into the can.

"Master, can't you eat it now?" The alluring red color makes Nuan'er a little impatient.

Xiaoguo smiled: "Let it cool down before eating, the temperature is too high at this time, be careful of burns!" Let's take advantage of this empty space and make other seasonings. ”

By the time everything was ready, it was already dark.

Xiaoguo uses the tomato sauce made from Fangcai, and adds some seafood and vegetables to make a pot of seafood fried noodles.

The three of them didn't go back to the room, so they sat around the wooden table in the kitchen and ate.

I was eating with relish when I heard someone knocking on the door.

Ming Ze put down the dishes and chopsticks, opened the door, and saw a short and chubby young man, standing in front of the kitchen door.

He fanned his nose, sniffed deeply a few times, scratched his head and smiled at Ming Ze, and said, "Little brother, I don't know what dishes you make that taste extremely attractive?" ”

It turned out that this person had also come to participate in the food competition, and he had bought some ingredients and wanted to practice his skills before the competition, so he also rented a small kitchen.

Unexpectedly, all afternoon in the kitchen opposite, there were all kinds of different smells wafting out, although each smell was something he had never heard before, but they were all mouth-watering!

The man's passion for taste was almost obsessed, and he pondered for an afternoon, but he couldn't figure out what could make such a taste, so he lost the desire to cook, and stayed in the kitchen, meditating.

Until this seafood fried noodles, the fragrance wafted out, he couldn't hold it anymore, although he knew that it was rude, he still came to find out.

He briefly said the reason for the matter, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know little brother, can you tell me what kind of cuisine the dishes you just made are from?" ”

As a fellow practitioner, Xiaoguo can understand his mood very well, she understood the conversation at the door, then got up and walked over, and said, "Fortunately, I will be happy!" Brother Tai also came to participate in the meal competition, and it is also a kind of fate that we can meet before the game! We just made some simple meals, if my brother doesn't dislike it, let's come in and use some together! ”

The man's face was happy when he heard this, and he didn't push back, and stepped directly into the house: "In this way, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”

I can't wait.

Xiaoguo and Mingze looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled, followed him, and returned to the kitchen.

Nuan'er found a clean dish, put all the remaining fried noodles in the pot in front of him, and said, "Please use it!" ”

The man was not polite, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, took a deep breath, and ate them.

His eyes sparkled in the dim twilight, until the last bite was in his stomach, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks with unfinished intentions.

glanced at the empty pot, looked regretful, and said, "Beautiful!" Maggi! It's a pity that I can't have a good time! ”

Nuan'er feigned anger and said: "You are really funny, you suddenly came to eat and drink like this, and you didn't feel full afterwards!" ”

When the man heard this, he woke up like a dream, and his face showed a trace of shame, and said, "What the little brother said is that he is being rude!" I've been like this since I was a child, and when I met delicious food, I forgot about the etiquette and etiquette, and I made a lot of jokes about it! ”

This resonated with Nuan'er, and she thought so, saying, "I can't blame you for this!" Food has a magical power that really makes people want to stop, and I know it too! ”

Seeing that Nuan'er could understand his feelings, the man said happily: "In Xia Li Yi, I don't know what the three brothers are called?" ”

Li Yi?

Xiaoguo was excited, squirted out a sip of tea, and choked and coughed.

Ming Ze and Nuan'er, one patted her on the back, and the other wiped her clothes with a handkerchief, and they were busy.

Xiaoguo waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and as soon as he came up in one breath, he asked urgently, "What is your name?" ”

The man said word by word: "Li Rebellion, Mu Zi Li, Rebel Rebellion!" ”

Xiaoguo patted her thumping heart and took a long breath, it turned out to be just a homonym!

She looked at it carefully, this young man named Li Yi was white and fat, with a fat round face, covered with large and small pockmarks and freckles, this is a very kind face that makes people look at it and give birth to a kind meaning.

It's just that at this time, under Xiaoguo**'s naked gaze, the owner of the face is looking back at her nervously!

Whether it is appearance and height, or general temperament, the person in front of him is not at all similar to that person, Xiaoguo can't help but laugh in his heart for making a fuss.

Li Yi was stared at by her uncomfortably, and after touching his face a few times, he finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Tai, but what is on Li's face?" ”

Xiaoguo woke up like a world away, and hurriedly apologized: "No, no!" I'm sorry, I saw that Brother Li was very similar to someone I knew before, so I was distracted for a while, rude! ”

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I had another meal on my face!" ”

At the moment, the three of Xiaoguo have reported their names, and the four of them are officially acquainted!

"My master and his old man are in the pickle department, I started late, and although I learned more miscellaneous, I should also return to the pickle department with my master! I taste the fried noodles of the brothers, the taste is rich, I don't know what cuisine the three brothers belong to? Li Yi asked.

"We don't have to be bound by any one set taste, so we don't belong to any one cuisine!" Nuan'er said proudly.
