Seeing Mrs. Qin's reaction, the people around the game began to discuss.

"It's a pity, the lamb skewers she grilled just now are so fragrant, really fragrant-"

"Yes, it's a pity, it's too aggressive, I should make something decent."

"That dish smells so good, but it's a pity that it's too spicy, otherwise it should be a delicacy."

However, after Mrs. Qin drank a few sips of water in a row, she picked up the chopsticks again, and continued to taste the fish and side dishes in the bowl, especially the mushrooms and tofu.

"It's so delicious, it's so delicious, this dish is so delicious, I don't have a good appetite these days, I can't eat, after eating a few bites of this dish, I feel that my appetite is open, and now I'm afraid I can eat half a cow" Mrs. Qin put down her chopsticks and exclaimed.

The melon-eating masses who are worried about Huamanxi: "......."

"Come on, bring this dish back to the house for Xiangye to taste." Mrs. Qin ordered unceremoniously at all.

Although many of the audience upstairs also wanted to try that dish, but it was Mrs. Xiangye! Although Qin Xiang has not done anything for all these years, at least one-third of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are his students, who can afford to provoke them!

"This quail is fragrant, crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside, this lamb skewer is spicy and delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, this grilled live fish, fresh and hot, spicy and exciting, all delicious, so delicious!" Mrs. Qin drank another glass of water and exclaimed in one breath.

Several other judges were still eating mutton skewers, their mouths full of oil, for fear that Mrs. Qin would even have to take these two dishes back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they all started first and rushed to eat them.

The county lord of Yunhua, who had seen the world, calmly raised the promotion sign, and coughed a few more times to remind the other judges.

Hua Manxi naturally advanced with full votes.

Next, the game continued, and Hua Manxi did not leave immediately, but stayed.

Xiao Wu's dishes are pheasant and ham asparagus soup, spiced crispy pig's trotters, fried small yellow croaker, and there are various dishes in the back, which are dazzling.

There are chicken porridge with, bird's nest with rock sugar, stewed potatoes with goose, etc., fried venison, deer whip soup, braised beef, etc.

The competition lasted until the end of the evening, and finally 50 chefs were selected for the finals, which would only be held in the palace for another grand final, and the winner of the first prize would be qualified to run the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, and the other chefs could also enter the imperial dining room.

Hua Manxi watched the game today, she was hungry for a day, and there was no food in the canteen after the end, and the remaining ingredients were also some auxiliary materials, so she could only buy some meat dishes with her own money and take them to the back kitchen of the canteen to make them herself.

It is not advisable to eat too greasy at night, and she has not eaten seafood for a long time after she came to Yipinju, so she specially bought some seafood, cooked a pot of seafood porridge, and put shrimp, abalone, sea cucumber, and chopped squid into the porridge blended with rice and water, which is fragrant.

Finally, she sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions and coriander, and a few drops of sesame oil were dropped, and the meal was ready to go.

Just as he was about to eat, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the back kitchen of the cafeteria.

"I'll just say she's here, uh, what are you cooking, it's so delicious." It's the voice of Xiao Wu.

"I cooked seafood porridge, and I'm hungry today." Hua Manxi said truthfully, when she turned around with a casserole, she saw that Xiao Wu was still followed by a person, it was Xu Jing who did not participate in the training camp.

"Hello Chef Flower." Xu Jing is not very old, his eyebrows are delicate and quiet, he doesn't talk much, but he is very polite.

"Hello Chef Xu, have you eaten? Use a little bit together? Hua Manxi cooked a big pot of porridge, and she couldn't finish it, she wanted to call Danyun, but Danyun seemed to be particularly mysterious in the past two days, and she couldn't find him without a trace.

"That's right, I also want to try your craftsmanship, but since I have eaten your porridge, the two of us can't eat it for nothing, so let's make a dish each." Xiao Wu said.

Look, Yipinju is really a place to exercise people, this Xiao Wu was still using her skin cream with peace of mind when she first came, and now she knows that she also makes dishes to accompany her seafood porridge.

Well, if there is progress, she likes motivated people.

"Then I'm blessed, Chef Xu's dish today is three times, it can be regarded as making me have a long experience, presumably the cooking skills are also the best, and Xiao Wu, your five-spiced crispy pig's trotters, across the big distance, I saw the judge holding a big pig's trotters in his hand, the flesh and bone are separated, and the muscles are connected, the color is attractive, and it must be excellent."

"Don't say it, the lamb skewer you baked today is only called a fragrant, I smell it next door, and I almost came to you with a bowl to eat." Xiao Wu was also very familiar with Hua Manxi and praised each other.

Only Na Xu Jing was silent, and began to pick up the kitchen knife, directly picked up the ingredients on the stove and cut them.

He cut carrots and potatoes, both of which were finely shredded, and then added eggs, salt, pepper, flour, and baked a few vegetarian cakes.

Xiao Wu saw that Hua Manxi's porridge was meat porridge, sweet and delicious, with crispy vegetarian cakes, so she couldn't lose face, so she also picked up the kitchen knife, cut a pumpkin, and made a salted egg yolk baked pumpkin.

The two dishes were brought to the table, the seafood porridge was just cooled, and Hua Manxi served three bowls, everyone sat down, ate porridge and vegetables, and inevitably blew each other in business.

But Xu Jingzhen didn't say much, and after he was full, he looked at Hua Manxi with a pair of clear eyes, and said in a low voice: "Chef Hua, in fact, I have a reluctant request." ”

Hua Manxi was a little stunned, she was not a person who had no one in her eyes, and she was also good at discovering the strengths of others, she felt that although this Xu Jing was not very old, her cooking skills were delicate and exquisite, and her mind was unique, compared to her, she was even better, what did he have to ask for herself?

"Chef Xu, please speak." Although Hua Manxi was puzzled, he still replied politely.

"Actually, I'm here tonight to ask you to teach me carving, I heard from the little fifth chef that your knife carving skills are very good, and I'm a little weak in this area, so I want to ask for advice." Xu Jing said very sincerely.

Xiao Wu is a shrewd and pragmatic person, and he will never let go of such benefits, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "You can't be partial, you teach him, and you have to teach me!" ”

Hua Manxi looked at Xu Jing, and then looked at Xiao Wu, anyway, today is not very tired, and it is still early, just teaching carving kung fu, it is not a big deal, so he nodded and responded: "Yes, I don't know what you want to learn to carve?" ”

"The imperial food of the palace is nothing more than dragons and phoenixes and flowers and plants, so teach me to carve a phoenix." Xu Jingdao.

"Okay, since you want to carve a phoenix, let's have a big one, take a pumpkin." Hua Manxi took out a special carving knife for the center, peeled the pumpkin, and then began to carve, but after a while, she actually carved a golden phoenix standing with wings spread with the pumpkin, the appearance was lifelike, and even the feathers on the tail were delicate, looking from a distance, the momentum was awe-inspiring, and it was breathtaking.

This carving technique is nothing in modern times, and there is a systematic way to learn it, but in ancient times, it was amazing!

Xu Jing and Xiao Wu originally wanted to learn to carve the small ornaments on the plate, but who knew that as soon as Hua Manxi came up, he showed them such a hand, carving a half-human-tall phoenix out, and it took such a short time!

It's just a miracle!

The two looked at each other in astonishment, both speechless in shock.

"Is this okay? Or just teach this? Hua Manxi turned around and asked.

Xiao Wu was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Really? You're really willing to teach me this! This phoenix is so beautiful, it should be your housekeeping skill! Did you really teach us? ”

Xu Jing was also incredulous, but looked at Hua Manxi with a hint of expectation.

"What kind of housekeeping skill is this? This thing is just looking at it from a distance and fooling those who don't know how to do it, and if you really look at it up close, it's still not fine enough. Hua Manxi said truthfully, "If you want to learn, I'll teach this." ”

The two nodded violently in unison, and said in unison: "Learn, learn, learn!" ”

Hua Manxi has also brought a lot of apprentices in his previous life, isn't it easy to teach carving kung fu? She gave each of them two pumpkins, peeled them, and taught them how to use knives, how to construct shapes, how to carve detailed places, how to put them all together—

Orthodoxy was preoccupied, but suddenly she felt a cold and deep gaze behind her staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Chef Flower, is this feather carved like this?" Xu Jing was very serious about learning things and asked in a low voice.

"It's not like this, you have to hold the knife like this, the knife is precise and fast, you can't leave traces on it, you have to do it in one go." Hua Manxi suppressed the strange feeling, walked in front of Xu Jing, held his hand, and taught him to carve feather patterns little by little.

"Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! As she spoke, a displeased cough rang out behind her, interrupting her words and movements.

Hua Manxi turned around and saw Xu Yang standing not far from the kitchen, and in front of him was Zhen Guohou in a wheelchair, it seemed that the ill-intentioned gaze just now came from him.

Xu Heng watched Hua Manxi grab Xu Jing's hand, teaching him the kung fu of carving, he was so jealous that he was unrecognizable! But he can't go crazy yet, he still has to endure it!

Ah, it's angry, it's angry. Xu Houye felt that he was going crazy!

"Chef Hua, our Hou Ye is invited." Xu Yang said lightly.

Hua Manxi didn't pay attention to him directly, but turned around and continued to catch Xu Jing's hand to teach him carving.

Xu Yang: "......"

Zhen Guohou: "......."

"Chef Hua, I basically know it already, if you have something to do, get busy first, we're bothering." Xu Jing was a little embarrassed, raised his eyes and smiled guiltily at Hua Manxi.
