When Zheng Xinwen walked into the kitchen, all the chefs and apprentices were standing around and watching him quietly with bated breath, and no one dared to disturb him.

The next dish to be made will decide the fate of all of them.

Zheng Xinwen stood in front of the kitchen counter, his face full of seriousness and composure.

But his heart was actually in chaos, and he didn't know which dish to cook.

Twenty-two years ago, after entering the small dining room of Prince Gong's Mansion, he learned from several master chefs that he learned dry-roasted crucian carp, tile fish, golden meat, rose cake, and peach soup...... Only the Manchu master will cook the whole sheep banquet and meat ceremony during the Chinese New Year in the palace...... More than 100 dishes are composed of a Manchu and Han banquet...... A variety of delicacies that have been researched over the years......

Every dish that Zheng Xinwen has learned so far flashed in his mind one by one, and he has no clue, but it has become a mess.

The more he meditated, the more anxious Zheng Xinwen's mentality became, and many chaotic thoughts lingered in his heart.

I knew that I would get into such a big disaster, maybe I shouldn't have insisted on learning to cook in the first place, and it would be good to follow my father's teachings to inherit the family business......

My father is right, diligence is regarded as a cheap industry by the world after all, in the end, no matter how superb the cooking skills are, even if he has been praised by Prince Gong, even if he is famous in the capital, is it not up to a eunuch to handle it?

Don't talk about yourself, a high-ranking figure like Prince Gong has not been deposed by the Lafayette in the palace?

Even Lafayette and the eunuchs were afraid of foreigners.

This world is too bad.

Fortunately, Prince Gong and his old man passed away two years before the year of Gengzi, otherwise if he saw the tragedy of the eight powers ravaging China with his own eyes, I am afraid that he would not be able to turn a blind eye......

Huh! What do you want to do, hurry up and think about what to cook!

Zheng Xinwen's head was dripping with beads of sweat, which made Hao Xian, who was staring at him on the side, also become anxious.

Why didn't you move when you touched the kitchen knife, what are you doing, don't stop!

But Hao Xian could only be in a hurry, after fifteen minutes of soul piercing were used up, he had no way to interfere with this era.

"That's right, Cook! Brother Chef, no, Uncle Chef, let me use my soul piercer again, you don't want to watch the inheritance of pot meat being devoured by evil things! Hao Xian turned his head abruptly and asked for help from the chef beside him.

Chef Jing didn't want to pay attention to him and quietly disappeared from his trace.

The corners of Hao Xian's mouth twitched, and he had to continue to look at Zheng Xinwen nervously.

Zheng Xinwen stood motionless, thinking about a lot of things in his mind in a short period of time, but he couldn't think of what to cook.

This dish is so important, it is related to the life of their family, and it is related to the future of him and Anna's children......

Thinking of Anna, he couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met.

That day, the young Zheng Xinwen slipped into the back kitchen of Taifeng Building, which ranked second in the eighth building, and was found by Zheng Mingquan and beaten up hard, and the more he thought about it when he was lying on the bed to recuperate, the more angry he became, and he actually endured the pain and slipped out again.

As a result, as he walked, he collapsed on the street with all his body weak.

In a trance, he heard a non-standard but beautiful voice in Chinese:

"Daddy! Father! Someone here is hurt, can I bandage him? ”

"No, my cutest little Anna, leave this child to Daddy, you go back and play with your cousins." A man's voice spoke in Russian.

Zheng Xinwen didn't understand, and even if he did, he didn't hear it, because he was already unconscious......

When he woke up, Zheng Xinwen saw a pair of big emerald green eyes staring at him curiously.

It was a little girl with blond hair, who looked to be only eight or nine years old.

"Why are you so badly injured? Dad said that your clothes are not cheap, you should be from a big family, are you disobedient and beaten by your father? The little girl asked with a grin.

Zheng Xinwen didn't really want to answer this question, but when he saw the circle of gauze on his arm, he knew that he was rescued, so he had to say truthfully: "I want to learn to cook, but my dad is stubborn." ”

The little girl pouted, crossed her hands and said in a tone of lesson, "You can't say that about your father!" Although Anna's father also didn't let Anna study medicine or help you bandage your wounds, Anna knew that he was still the most loving person in the world! By the way, what is xuechu? ”

Zheng Xinwen couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard that Xiao Anna was going to help him bandage his wounds, and then replied after a while: "Learning to cook is to learn to cook and make delicious food." ”

"Delicious!" Xiao Anna propped up her two hands on the side of the hospital bed, and her delicate and fair little face like a puppet came to Zheng Xinwen and said excitedly, "I want to eat delicious!" Make it for me when you're healed! ”

Zheng Xinwen felt that Xiao Anna's nose was almost on his nose, he blushed when he brushed the ground, his whole body moved back, and he said a little hesitantly: "It can be, but why don't you look like you haven't eaten for a long time." ”

"Isn't it, I'm not used to eating food in Beijing, since you said you can make good food, I can count on you!" Little Anna said aggrievedly.

Zheng Xinwen slowed down before asking, "What flavor of food do you like?" ”

"Have meat! Be sweet! Little Anna replied in seconds.

"Sweet meat ......" Zheng Xinwen touched his chin and muttered to himself, "The sweetness that foreigners like should be sweet and sour, you can try sweet and sour...... So what kind of meat do you want to eat? Pork? Beef? Mutton? ”

"Hmm......" Little Anna showed an annoyed expression, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Just pork, how cute the little pig is!" ”

"Okay, take me to your kitchen!" Zheng Xinwen endured the pain and crawled out of bed, but the pain in his body was much better than he expected, and it seemed that Anna's father's medical skills were quite good.

"No, no, no, your injuries are not healed yet!" Little Anna hurriedly stopped him.

"You don't want to eat good food anymore?" Zheng Xinwen deliberately whetted Xiao Anna's appetite, "I thought of a dish that you will definitely like to eat, put sweet and sour in the charred fried pork slices, the meat slices will become sweet and sour, and when you bite into it, your mouth will be full of delicious sweetness......"

"Don't say it, I want to eat!" Little Anna felt like her saliva was going to water, but she still said resolutely, "But you can't do it today!" You lie back and rest, and after recuperating from your injuries first, I can still endure it! ”

"Okay, okay, listen to your ......" Zheng Xinwen sat back on the hospital bed with some amusement, and began to continue to tell Xiao Anna about various other delicacies, luring her into cravings......

……

"Stir-fried pork slices ......"

Zheng Xinwen raised his head suddenly, and there was finally light in his originally gloomy eyes.

Sweet and sour charred fried pork slices are a favorite dish of his wife Anna since she was a child, but over the years, as she has lived in China for a long time and gradually become accustomed to Chinese food, she has eaten less charred fried pork slices.

However, he did not intend to just send the charred fried pork slices to the table of the Rakshasa ambassador.

Because after he thought of this dish, his mind suddenly crossed a lightning bolt, illuminating a path that had never been seen before.

On the basis of the charred fried pork slices, he combined his cooking skills with 20 years of cultivation to create a delicacy that all Russians will not stop!
