Chapter 291: Fooling Around
Today is the day of the selection of cooks in the palace of the king, the front door of the palace is like a market, many people have gathered to sign up, and there are many onlookers who have come to see the excitement and have set up a platform for recruitment.
This kind of primary assessment is completely decided by the housekeeper, and Ge Shuxin will not participate, only when he enters the nomination semi-finals, that is, on the second day of the competition, Ge Shuxing can arrive.
Mu Bangshang stood in the crowd, looking at the cooks who came early, there were no less than 100 people, and they were in the middle and back positions.
It takes their turn until the afternoon, and about fifty percent of the people are eliminated in the first trial, mainly because the chef in the palace will bring out a dish, say which country's dish it is, and explain the ingredients and cooking methods in detail.
The first level is relatively easy and random, relying entirely on the experience and accumulation of a chef.
Mu Bangshang watched in the crowd for a long time, she could easily deal with this first level, and she could stay in the palace tonight, she hadn't seen the child for many days, and she couldn't wait to see it in her heart.
At the back of the line, Tai Shiyun has been waiting for a long time, she came very early, and her beautiful dress is really eye-catching.
Look at the chefs dressed in ordinary clothes, everyone has tools in their hands, and each cook's knife is their soul.
Tai Shiyun decided to reinvent and hurriedly bought a knife, she was afraid of being recognized, and she blackened her face a little, she was originally a beautiful son, but she became a black boy with a black face, and it is estimated that Lan'er will not recognize it when she comes.
When she came back, she was already at the back, thinking that it would be good to be in the back, and when it was dark, the housekeeper would recognize her, and it would be more difficult to recognize her by the night.
The people here were thinking about how to enter the palace of the king of Yu, and Ge Shuxuan stood on the second floor, watching Fenghua and Xueyue playing with Xiao Qi in the courtyard.
Fu Qiu told Mu Bangshang and the white-headed guards that they had arrived at the Yuwang Mansion, and he would not go to the first trial of an ordinary cook.
This year was different, and he decided to go and see it, but of course he couldn't take his children with him. The show is still to come, how can mother and son meet so quickly.
The selection is underway at the gate of the palace, Mu Bangshang has been paying attention to the problems of those people, among those dishes, there are four layers of Da Yin dishes, and the rest of the countries occupy two layers, it seems that this king is more partial to the food of Da Yin.
In the middle of autumn, it is the season when the grassland fat crab is abundant, but the salted egg yolk is used to pretend to be crab roe. The chefs who cook are more tricky, and it seems that the competition among the chefs in the palace is still very strict.
Watching people who want to make up for it one by one being eliminated one by one, it seems that it is not so easy to get by.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Mu Bangshang, and a cook brought a plate, which was golden and round balls, the green vegetables were tender and green, and the soup was bright.
The butler looked at the ordinary-looking woman in front of him, "Please tell me what kind of dish this is?" ”
"A lot of people are whispering that it's not a very simple braised lion's head."
Mu Bangshang looked carefully, just looking at the appearance, it was very much like ordinary meatballs, since it was an exam, naturally he couldn't just look at it with his eyes.
"Can a woman pay for it?"
"Absolutely."
Mu Bangshang took the knife and fork, cut a small piece with a knife and put it in his mouth, the taste is delicate, very delicious, such as ice and snow melt in the mouth, the meat is white and transparent, and the soup poured on it is completely a trick to blind the eyes, carefully distinguish, and there is already a guess in my heart.
The housekeeper was instructed by the prince that this question should only appear in the retest, "Which country's food is this?" ”
"It's Zephani!"
Everyone coaxed, "How can braised lion's head be a dish of Western fan." ”
The housekeeper glanced at her and seemed to be very sure, "This kind of cooking method is more common in Dayin, this lady, the old man gives you a chance, you can regret it." ”
Mu Bangshang is determined, "This cooking method is just a trick, can only be said to be an improved Western flavor, the ingredients are produced in the West Fan Tianshan Holy Lake Ice fish, also known as the divine fish, eating can prolong life, rheumatism and bone pain have a miraculous effect, if the woman has a difficult birth of the birth, drink the fish soup, you can give birth smoothly, only in the West can eat, the world is unique." ”
The housekeeper nodded with a smile, "Congratulations!" Passed. ”
Icefish can only be seen in the west, and only in the holy lake, usually only in the royal family can eat, Mu Bangshang has also seen it in ancient books, and has not really tasted it, which is also a bet.
Glancing at Yu Zongyuan beside him, he seemed to be even happier than himself, but Yu Zongyuan seemed to underestimate the harshness of the palace.
"Next!"
Mu Bangshang said to the housekeeper: "He is my husband, and he is the assistant of the people's wife." ”
"Assistant! You have to take the test too. ”
Mu Bangshang was a little anxious, if Yu Zongyuan came to the test to accumulate, I am afraid it would be a little difficult, "The assistant relies on knife work, it is better to try knife work." ”
The housekeeper thought about it and looked at the two kitchen knives on Yu Zongyuan's waist, believing that the prince must be watching in the dark. The prince ordered that the two must be left behind, and this person must be eliminated in the second round. After performing the knife work rematch, there is nothing to show.
"Good! Let's show off our knife work! ”
Yu Zongyuan has Silla's knife skills, machete and cut melons to capture, and after passing the level, the two were taken to the dome, which resembles the buildings of Tallinn.
Each tower will have a person living in it, and even if they are married at the time of registration, they can only live in adjacent buildings.
The two men rested in their respective towers, and they were only allowed to walk within the confines of Tallinn, and in the evening dinner would be prepared in the palace.
Mu Bangshang still likes the big Yin style, facing the domed buildings, it is still very uncomfortable, even if it is small, it will be divided into two floors, and each tower will have an attic.
It was still early, Mu Bangshang decided to go to the door to see if there were any strong opponents among the players behind, and he couldn't despise his opponents, otherwise there would be a great chance of being screened.
There were three competitions in three days, and only three people were able to stay in the end, which can be described as cruel.
As the saying goes, it's always good to know oneself and one's opponent, Mu Bangshang and Yu Zongyuan returned to the preliminary test site again, and there were more than a dozen chefs who did not pass.
Mu Bangshang can also figure out the rules of the Wangfu Mansion, and several chefs have already returned to the preliminary examination location, and their purpose is the same.
Tai Shiyun was also playing drums in her heart, and it would be her turn soon, she really didn't expect that it would be so difficult just to enter the palace to be a cook.
Lan'er had been here in the daytime, and she would not have thought that she would become so sloppy, unrecognized, and did not dare to destroy the chef chosen by the king.
It is estimated that they also think that she will not be able to pass the test, and she will definitely be discovered, hoping that she will be able to pass the test in confusion when she meets the housekeeper in a while.
The sky gradually darkened, and Mu Bangshang had been noticing Tai Shiyun at the end of the team, the knife on her body had not yet been opened, it was a new knife, she always tightened her body very tightly, her eyebrows were clear, and she always liked to hide behind other people, as if she was afraid of being recognized.
This person seems to have another purpose in entering the palace, if she can create some chaos in the palace, can she take advantage of the chaos and take the child out.
"Ruan Mingze!"
"In!".
The dim lantern was swaying in the wind, and the housekeeper looked at the black and thin boy in front of him, as if he had fallen into a pile of ashes, and the most striking thing was a mouthful of white teeth. The facial features look a little familiar, and the old eyes are dizzy and can't remember who it is?
"You're a brute!"
"Yes!" Ruan Mingze is the name she gave herself indiscriminately, and when her face is blackened, she naturally has to give her a wild name.
"Come on, serve the food."
But I saw the cook bring out a tray from it, and there was a fatty osmanthus fish on the tray.
"Check it out! What exactly is this? ”
Tai Shiyun saw that it was osmanthus fish, and osmanthus fish was her favorite dish, and this question was very simple.
Mu Bangshang looked carefully on the side, on the surface, it looked like a complete osmanthus fish, but Mu Bangshang smelled a faint aroma of mutton.
Not good, this is a fish bite sheep, a local famous dish of Da Yin, the internal organs of the osmanthus fish are wrenched, and the inside is filled with mutton.
"It's Guiyu!" Tai Shiyun has just been exported.
"Ahem!" Mu Bangshang coughed lightly from the side and reminded Tai Shiyun.
Tai Shi Yun gave her a look, Tai Shi Yun looked at Mu Bangsheng's assessment just now, but she was appreciated by the housekeeper.
Tai Shiyun looked at himself now dressed up, but he was just a poor boy with a beard, and he had no idea to fight, this woman was reminding, did she not want him to let a poor boy with a beard sleep on the streets, and she had a good impression of Mu Bangshang in her heart.
The housekeeper glanced at Mu Bangshang, obviously reminding, and then looked at Tai Shiyun, "Your answer is Guiyu!" Please say how. ”
Since someone reminded him that there must be something else in the belly of the fish, Tai Shiyun said: "After tasting it!" The belly of the fish should be a different flavor. ”
Tai Shiyun took a knife and fork, cut open the belly of the fish, and the delicious soup overflowed, revealing the pink and tender mutton, which was full of fresh fragrance, and the taste of the mutton was completely wrapped in the fish.
I have seen it on the recipe of this dish, and Tai Shiyun is secretly happy in her heart, "It's the fish biting the sheep, the internal organs of the fish are wringed off, and the mutton is filled." ”
The housekeeper was silent for a long time before he said, "Congratulations, you have passed!" ”
Tai Shiyun looked gratefully in the direction of Mu Bangsheng, Mu Bangshang had already left with Yu Zongyuan, and Mu Bangshang went to Yu Zongyuan's residence.
Along the way, Mu Bangshang looked at the strict guards in the palace, and the expectation in his heart had dropped a little, unless they became official cooks in the palace, it would be difficult to walk freely in the palace.
Yu Zongyuan didn't have a heart, "Yan'er, don't worry, Brother Yu will go to investigate tonight if you can see the child." ”
"Brother Yu, be careful!"
In the study, Ge Shusheng has been following Mu Bangshang, he sees Mu Bangshang's words and deeds in his eyes, and he pays more attention to the connotation of a person's food and the fit of the soul.
hasn't tasted the dishes she made yet, even if her dishes can't impress her, she will be like-minded people with the same thoughts, and Ge Shuxing is looking forward to Mu Bangsheng bringing him a surprise.
