Chapter 372
Chapter 372
But the presiding eunuch read it quietly, and then aimed at the note in front of her, his eyes were very strange, which made Quiet's heart a little bottomless, what does this mean, won't there be any problems to embarrass her, right? In the last two rounds of the competition, although the items are similar, the details are different.
After reading it, the presiding eunuch suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.
This smile quietly became hairier, and the more I felt that this smile was not so simple, what was written on the note?
"Let's get started."
The presiding eunuch closed his gaze, walked to the chair with square steps, and sat down.
Twenty-five people began to move, quietly took a deep breath, no matter what was written in the note, they had to unfold it and take a look, she limped forward and just opened the note, and before she could read it, she heard Concubine Li's regretful voice coming.
"Can't imagine she's a cripple?"
Quietly raised her eyes to look, Concubine Li happened to be curious to look over, she saw that she quietly seemed to hear it, and felt that what she had just said was a little inappropriate, and smiled apologetically.
The palace maid next to her leaned over and said something, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
From this move, between words and laughter, I was quietly more convinced that Concubine Li had no scheming, but she was just a simple and lovely woman, and this character was in the harem, but she would suffer.
Actually, she has already eaten this loss.
Quietly retracted her gaze and looked at the note, what shocked her was that there were four black characters written on the note, "The country is long".
Is this fate?
Quietly I really want to laugh a few times, but there are people all around, and she still needs to be reserved, careful, and can't go too far.
Now she is really grateful to the old imperial chef, and after the assessment is over, she will definitely bring delicious and delicious food to honor his old man, as well as the broken toe that she almost threw away.
When the old imperial chef was crazy, he took the shoe and cut a lot of dishes, including green onions and ginger, as well as Jiangshan Chang.
Is this topic difficult? Maybe for others, it's really difficult, but for quietly, it's a piece of cake.
The quiet expression made the face of the presiding eunuch change, and he was a little restless, this was arranged by Concubine Hui, in this round, Li Chunxiang was going to be taken down, but looking at Li Chunxiang's expression, it didn't seem so nervous?
Wiping sweat, the presiding eunuch was drenched in cold sweat.
Quietly picked up the sharp kitchen knife, although the technique is not so skillful, it is easy to cut the ginger into three sections, indicating the meaning of the country, the green onion is cut into nine sections, nine is the extreme, this is "the country is long", and then she put down the kitchen knife and took a step back, standing straight as loose.
"How did she cut the green onion and ginger into that shape?" A little eunuch said in bewilderment.
"The Eight Achievements are made out of chaos, can the miscellaneous servants still become the imperial chef?" Another eunuch said disdainfully, they have seen this cooking, green onions are nothing more than silk, small segments, where have I ever seen such a big green onion, just cut nine sections, isn't this a joke?
The country is long-lasting
There are people who purse their lips and sneer, and there are also people who whisper cool words, and some people are nervously wiping their sweat, I don't know if they are anxious for this miscellaneous girl.
On the seat of the dining room, Father-in-law Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, like a lion napping, but what was projected from the gap was a trace of cold light, and he looked at the case quietly in front of him.
Lan Gonggong's analysis is as follows
Judging from the technique and proficiency of this ginger and green onion cutting, Li Chunxiang should be a layman in the meal, judging from the shape of the green onion and ginger she cut, it makes him quite staggered, this is the internal essence of the imperial diet, according to this, Li Chunxiang is a top imperial chef.
As the chief eunuch in charge of the inner imperial dining room, he remained silent about this doubt.
"This ......"
Father-in-law Ping also frowned, but after making this sound, there was no sound, he was a little embarrassed, is Chunxiang this chopping vegetables? This time I'm really going to sweep the floor back.
Although Father-in-law Ping is the head of the imperial dining room and the steward eunuch, he is not from the imperial kitchen, and in this regard, he is much inferior to Father-in-law Lan.
"Now let's take a look at it from the two imperial chefs in the inner imperial dining room." The presiding eunuch began to announce the next process.
At the table, two imperial chefs stood up.
A burly, powerful one at first glance, with a dark complexion, big shoulders and a round waist, compared with those eunuchs, there is too much masculinity.
The other is an elegant type, and can even be described as handsome, it is hard to imagine that he is the imperial chef in the palace, I heard that these two people are in the imperial dining room to make imperial meals for the emperor and the ladies, called the senior imperial chef, and they also have a very high status in the palace.
Two people walked out, one on the left and one on the right, and started to inspect them from both ends, so that the speed could be faster.
After a while, there was a sentence of "retreat", and soon it was a sentence, one by one, the contestants, turned around, retreated, just a green onion and ginger cutting method, knife work, and retreated seven or eight, this imperial meal is really not something that ordinary people can control.
Soon, the elegant and handsome young imperial chef walked in front of the quiet and stopped.
Quietly and cautiously raised his eyes to take a look, fortunately, it was not the power type that came over, otherwise it would be really deterrent.
The handsome imperial chef stood in front of the quiet case, first raised his eyes to look at her, then looked at the green onion and ginger on the case, and then asked.
"Learned?"
It seems that he has been coming from the contestants over there, and he only said the word "retreat", and the case that passed was to pass by, how did he get here quietly, and he actually asked such a sentence.
How to answer? Learned, or not?
If you say that you have never learned, you can pass so many levels, and no one will believe you when you say it, not to mention that the competition in the palace is very serious, and you can't afford to joke, how can you make a layman go to four rounds?
Don't dare to talk casually.
"Learned, learned......" she smiled awkwardly, and then hung her head.
The young imperial chef fiddled with the green onion and ginger on the case, suddenly lowered his voice, and said in a voice that was almost inaudible to others, "Li Chunxiang, this topic is for you, you should understand that someone deliberately makes things difficult, and ordinary people don't understand the meaning of this at all, and it is impossible to do this for a long time, because this is the secret of the palace imperial meal, how can you learn it?" ”
What secret? Isn't it just that the country lasts for a long time?
The old imperial chef can draw out his shoes with a smile, and quietly just draws a scoop according to the gourd.
Biting his lip quietly, I don't know how to answer, and I don't know what went wrong in this link? She lowered her head, eager to find a gap to get into, why did this imperial chef look at her like this and not leave? Anyway, give a conclusion, can't you fall in love with her?
Just when her face was flushed and she was about to have a seizure, the young Yushan smiled indifferently and walked in front of her eyes, without saying anything, let alone the word "retreat".
Does that mean she's over four rounds?
Quietly clenched his fist hard, raised his eyes, but just came into contact with a pair of eyes that almost killed her, it was the presiding eunuch, and the guy's eyes were green.
Now I quietly believe that if the presiding eunuch is either the person who is the person who presides over the concubine, or he has received the benefits of the concubine, he is waiting to see the quiet joke.
After four rounds, it is equivalent to stepping into the door of the imperial dining room, even if the next round fails, at least the assistant chef of the imperial dining room.
Quietly breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily found a place to stand in the imperial dining room, and then it was up to him to see if he had talent in the imperial diet, and if he behaved well, he could send food to the ministers, and he would definitely have the opportunity to meet that man at that time.
Thinking of Yuquan Mountain's kind gaze, he quietly wandered a little, why did this man give her a haunted feeling, a little mysterious.
"Fifteen left, but that's fine." The presiding eunuch counted the numbers.
Fifteen left?
Quietly came back to her senses, poked her head out, glanced towards the end of the line, and found that Yun Yun had also passed the level, and she was showing a mouthful of small white teeth and smiling quietly.
I really can't see that this reckless country woman has also entered the imperial dining room, but she will not look up and look down in the future, hoping that she can change her carelessness.
"Okay, those of you who stayed, it is also a good fate, the next round of competition, the actual operation of the imperial meal, everyone carefully watched, there are seasonings, ingredients, dishes, meat, you follow the name of the dish on the list, make the dish, and then let the imperial chefs taste and decide who is the winner."
The presiding eunuch's voice was obviously much lower, it seemed that Li Chunxiang's victory made him full of displeasure, and it was over for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it to Concubine Jinhui.
Cooking?
This quietly is really not good at it, when she was in Chu Mansion, there was a cook lady who cooked, and a girl who delivered food, she was the daughter of the Chu family, why did she need to go around in the kitchen, although she had no status, she could still eat whatever she wanted.
She glanced at the dishes on the case, and then looked at the fire that was burning vigorously, a black nest and a frying spoon, and her heart was really bottomless.
Seeing more than a dozen people participating in the competition walking up, unhurried, cutting vegetables and meat, and the knife work was as pure as fire, I quietly felt that my hands were numb.
"Li Chunxiang, this time is limited, are you frying or not?" The presiding eunuch's yin and yang voice rang out.
"Stir-fry!"
Quietly and directly replied, of course she has to fry, even if this last level is not enough, she has to compare and compare.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward quietly, only to hear a "crackle" sound, Xu is wood was burned, and a red piece was blown out, she screamed in fright, jumped out, and her face was white with fright.
Royal brocade hemp eel
Quietly just eat, where have I ever seen such a big open flame?
When she screamed like this, the presiding eunuch was startled, the guy rolled his eyes, turned around and retreated, there was so much time, Li Chunxiang liked to waste, so let her waste it, and after time, she also lost.
Quietly and slowly walked to the stove, feeling that the fire was so hot that she couldn't breathe, and the black nest, throwing her in, she could stew.
On the case, there is meat and fish, and this fish is still a living yellow eel, swimming in the basin, long, as terrifying as a snake, and occasionally making a splash in the water, as if it is quietly demonstrating.
Quietly swallowed his saliva, his heart beating in trepidation.
If you want to make this dish, you naturally have to kill this yellow eel, but the thought of catching such a slippery and terrifying thing makes goosebumps quietly arise out of thin air.
The materials placed on the case are chili, pepper, pepper, fennel, green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, sesame, cinnamon, and even sandalwood, mint and other spices.
Quietly a little blind for a while, where to start, the palace imperial meal, she has been secretly reading, but she didn't see the article about stir-frying, she doesn't know anything about cooking.
Anyway, let's see what you want her to cook.
Quietly trembling his hands, he unfolded the note, and saw the name of the dish on it that asked for cooking, but after just a glance, he quietly almost turned around and ran.
"Mijin Maxiang Eel"
This must be difficult, the most shameless difficulty, she can be like everyone else, throw up the frying spoon and stir-fry, put some ingredients indiscriminately, make dishes, but there is no way to kill a live yellow eel, she can't do it anyway, even if she can do it, she doesn't have the guts.
Quietly looking at the big yellow eel swimming happily in the basin, his heart couldn't help but twitch three times in a row, this eel was round, slender, and snake-shaped, and he almost spit out the letter quietly.
She stretched out her hand a few times, but they all retracted, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
If Miss Chu Si trembled in front of a fish, and when it reached Yueyao Town, no one believed it, what else was she afraid of?
While the presiding eunuch glanced at his mouth and smiled, he looked at it proudly, even if this girl has the ability, she has to kill the fish, this yellow eel is the one he picked the biggest, which looks the most like a snake, and they all say that girls are afraid of this, even the imperial chef in the kitchen has to be bold to dare to kill.
Looking at the girl's expression, squeaky and grinning, eighty percent of this dish can't be done.
"Why didn't she move, everyone else started, and if she didn't do it, she would fail?"
Concubine Li sat below, watching lively, what she paid the most attention to was this female handyman named Li Chunxiang, this little girl was good-looking, not to mention, she was also a ghostly clever. Concubine Li is looking forward to her winning more than anyone else, if she wins, this excitement will be beautiful, but why did Li Chunxiang stretch out her hand and didn't move, why didn't she stir-fry? Concubine Li was a little anxious for her.
"This Li Chunxiang, what's wrong?" She asked the palace maid beside her.
"I don't know, Li Chunxiang was in a daze at a basin."
In Li Concubine's position, I couldn't see what the basin contained, so I naturally didn't understand the reason for being in a daze.
"I'm really in a hurry, if she loses, she won't be able to look at it."
Concubine Li is going to ask for a jackpot, and this jackpot is Li Chunxiang.
"yes, it would be interesting if she won." The palace maid next to her covered her mouth and laughed.
In front of the case, she quietly bit her lip, her hand froze there, and she raised her eyes and looked around, and found that everyone was staring at her hand, and she didn't know why she didn't move.
What to do? It's absolutely not okay to stir-fry without hands, but you can do it...... She can't slaughter this fish......
Suddenly, quietly had an idea, and thought of a good way not to kill the fish, and this method could also allow her to escape the game temporarily, the ghost made a miracle, her hand reached to the basin, looked at the yellow eel tremblingly, deliberately stumbled, and hit the water basin, the water basin fell to the ground with a bang, and the big yellow eel writhed on the ground like a swimming snake.
"Run, run, what?"
Quietly pretending to be panicked, leaning down, the yellow eel was very cooperative, and rushed out with a few strokes of the flowing water.
