After a night, Hua Manxi woke up in Wang Shishi's bed, and the consequence of the hangover was a headache.

She was struggling to get up, and suddenly an exclamation sounded outside Wang Shishi's door, it was Hua Lanxiang.

"Full stream, full stream! Wake up! Wake up! The Divine Decree, the Divine Decree is coming! Go and get it! Come on! Hua Lanxiang slammed on the door, and the whole person panicked.

Divine decree? Why did the decree come suddenly? Hua Manxi's mind was stunned, and the whole person came to his senses.

"It's coming, it's coming." Hua Manxi hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and as soon as he opened the door, he was dragged back to Hua's house by Hua Lanxiang all the way.

"Hurry up, this is the father-in-law who passed the decree, hurry up." Hua Lanxiang pulled Hua Manxi and pointed to a man dressed in civilian clothes.

"Hua's Manxi receives the order." The man opened his voice, and his voice was particularly feminine and sharp, presumably someone from the palace was good.

"The people's daughter takes the order." Hua Manxi hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, Wen Zhihua family has a daughter, gentle and square, dexterous, cooking skills, today coincides with the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager, I recruit the world's cooks, organize a feast, the flower family is full of streams, ordered to enter the palace, and select the imperial kitchen. Chin this. The father-in-law of the rice paper stretched out the voice, put away the holy decree, and handed it to Hua Manxi.

Hua Manxi respectfully accepted the holy decree and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

She stood up with the holy decree, then took out a small purse, handed it to her father-in-law, and said politely: "Father-in-law came from afar, hard work, let's drink a bowl of tea first?" ”

The father-in-law saw that although she was born in the countryside, but her bearing was not bad, this time for the birthday of the Queen Mother, the palace issued a lot of holy decrees for the selection of cooks, he had no background in the palace, so he was assigned to this small place to issue the holy decree, I wanted to think it was a drudgery, but I didn't want this girl from the flower family to be interesting, and even gave him a purse of silver.

"Chef Hua is polite, I heard that you are a hometown of food, our family has heard of it for a long time, anyway, today is the first day of the new year, and we are not in a hurry to go to Beijing on this day, it is better for Chef Hua to act as a guide and take our family around, so that our family can return to Beijing to have a conversation." The father-in-law laughed.

"This is naturally good, it is rare for the father-in-law to appreciate his face, I don't know the father-in-law's surname? Come from afar, let's have some breakfast first. Hua Manxi asked politely, but without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and said, "Mother, make a bowl of three-flavor wonton for my father-in-law to taste." ”

"Chef Hua is polite, surnamed Bao." Father-in-law Bao became more and more satisfied, sat down, picked up the tea poured by Da Yang, tasted it, and said curiously, "This wonton, our family has also heard of it a little, but it is only a three-flavor wonton, but I have never heard of it." ”

Hua Manxi brought snacks and melons and fruits for him to drink tea, and said patiently: "This three wontons, take just a gimmick, in fact, it is three flavors of wonton in a bowl, there are our Shishan County characteristics of shrimp wonton, mainly sweet, and pork mushroom wonton, take is delicious, and there is a taste, it is vegetarian wonton, according to the season to do, this season, do it is winter bamboo shoot stuffing, so it is called three flavor wonton." ”

"So that's the case, there are quite a lot of names." Father-in-law Bao tasted the melons and fruits on the table again, and paid more and more attention to Hua Manxi.

Although this flower chef was born in a remote village, the things on the table are all delicate and delicious, and none of them have their own uniqueness.

If he hadn't lived in the palace for a long time and cultivated this ability to observe words and colors, he would have been contemptuous, and he wouldn't know if he had gone away!

As she spoke, Hua Lanxiang had already brought a bowl of steaming wonton, and as soon as she heard that this father-in-law came out of the palace, she was a little cowardly, and hurriedly handed the bowl in her hand to Hua Manxi.

The porcelain bowl has a fresh texture, the color is elegant, each of the wontons in the bowl is about the same size, white and fat floating in the soup, the soup is bright, and a handful of green onions are sprinkled on it, which looks very appetizing.

"Father-in-law Bao, you taste it or not, in the mountains and wilderness, there are no good things to entertain, and I hope Father-in-law Bao will not blame." Hua Manxi took the bowl from Hua Lanxiang's hand, gently rested the bowl on the table in front of Grandpa Bao, and took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube next to him and put it on.

This girl not only advances and retreats in a certain way, but also is very careful and thoughtful, doing things in the palace, carefulness is the main thing, if it is careless, it angers the master, it is a minute to lose her head.

"Chef Hua is polite, our family has long heard rumors from people in Kyoto, saying that there are too many delicious things at this food festival, and your wonton must be good." Father-in-law Bao smiled, after all, the hands of people are short, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the speech is good, so it is not embarrassing.

He picked up the chopsticks, scooped up a wonton, slowly blew it down, brought it to his mouth, and when he bit it open, the aroma of the filling in it immediately overflowed his mouth, well, this is just pork and mushroom filling.

Father-in-law Bao tasted a mouthful of soup, and the soup was still a little hot, but it was so delicious that it did not lose the imperial food in the palace at all.

He was amazing, and sandwiched a wonton, this time it was shrimp flavor, it was really sweet and refreshing, different from the previous one, Bao Gonggong couldn't help but smash his tongue, and ate another one, the wonton with winter bamboo shoot vegetarian filling, crisp and fresh, each kind of filling of dumplings has its own taste, not the same, but it is also delicious and fresh, which is unstoppable.

One after another, he finally ate a bowl of wonton before he knew it, and there was not even a drop of soup left.

This seems that his father-in-law from the palace has never seen the world, and Father-in-law Bao was secretly annoyed, and forcibly said: "The mountains and rivers are far away, the boats and cars are tiring, and our family is really hungry." ”

"This Shishan County is indeed a little farther away, and it is hard for my father-in-law. In this way, it is better for me to take my father-in-law to walk around the street, and my father-in-law will see if there is anything to be desired, and bring some souvenirs to my companions in the palace, which can be regarded as my gratitude to my father-in-law for sending me a holy decree. Hua Manxi stood up, his voice respectful and easy-going, without the slightest contempt and flattery, and every sentence was comfortable and calm.

This little girl is really amazing, how big is this, the level of observation is comparable to the old man in the palace, such a baby enters the palace, it must have a bright future!

Grandpa Bao looked at Hua Manxi more and more satisfied, showed a smile, and replied repeatedly: "Then our family will thank Chef Hua." ”

Hua Manxi didn't say anything more, made a gesture of invitation to Grandpa Bao, and led Grandpa Bao to the street.

Hua Manxi received the holy decree, this is a big deal, and after a while, it was spread all over the street, and when I saw Hua Manxi, I was quite surprised.

"Chef Hua, I heard that the holy decree is coming, and the emperor wants to invite you into the palace to cook? Isn't it? That's amazing! This is the chef like this, you are really the first person to be a chef! not only took everyone to make a fortune, changed our poor country, but also won the favor of the emperor! Congratulations, congratulations! The owner of a dim sum shop saw Hua Manxi and hurriedly stepped forward to ask if it was true or false.

Before Hua Manxi could answer, the father-in-law of the bag preemptively said: "Of course it's true, our house is here, and there are fake ones, in the next two days, Chef Hua will be ordered to enter the palace." ”

"Wow, congratulations to Chef Hana! Chef Hua, you have really won glory for the people of Shishan County! Come on, come on, this is my little care, you take it, enter the palace and the mountains and rivers are far away, although rich, but we can't help much, you take these foods, eat some when you are homesick. The owner of the dim sum shop hurriedly brought two large bags of dim sum from the store, one bag was stuffed into Hua Manxi, and the other bag was stuffed into Grandpa Bao, "This father-in-law, this dim sum is for you, please take care of our Hua Chef, our Hua Chef is a good girl, don't let people bully her." ”

Hua Manxi and Father-in-law Bao were stunned for a moment, and Hua Manxi hurriedly refused: "How does this make everyone, everyone is in business, how can I accept your things, and I will ask my cousin to send money when I go back." ”

"Don't! Other! Other! Don't! This is a little bit of my care, if you don't accept it, I will ask my mother-in-law to send you money when I go back. The shopkeeper warned in a serious voice.

It's just a bag of snacks, and it's not much money, so Hua Manxi forced himself to nod: "Then I'll take it, I wish the shopkeeper's business a prosperous one." ”

"Chef Hua, don't go, there's mine, there's mine! This is a newly fried melon seed, fruit, originally I wanted to go to your family to pay New Year's greetings, but I heard the news that you are going to Beijing to be the imperial chef! You take the food on the road, and when you arrive in Kyoto, there are places everywhere to be picked, and you take some food, and you don't fall into your mouth. The shopkeeper of the snack shop also rushed out, gave Bao's father-in-law a bag, and advised, "This adult, Chef Hua is young and ignorant, you must take care of some." ”

After she said that, she felt that a bag of dim sum might be too shabby, so she secretly stuffed some broken silver for Grandpa Bao, and repeatedly advised: "Don't take care of Chef Haohua, don't bully her." ”

Hua Manxi: "........"

Father-in-law Bao: "........"

"Shopkeeper, this is unacceptable! I can't help it! No merit! Hua Manxi looked anxious and refused repeatedly.

"What is unmeritless? Every time you come to teach us how to cook, we don't pay you tuition! Besides, my father-in-law has come from afar, and I don't agree, this New Year's should be given a red envelope! It's not for you! The shopkeeper said toughly.

Hua Manxi was blocked by her speechless.

"Chef Hua, and this, this is our family's own bacon, bacon, Chef Hua, you can take it-"

"And the pickled kimchi and sauerkraut in my house—"

"Chef Flower, and the sachets and accessories we make at home—"

"And my clothes and cloth at home—"

"Chef Hua, is there a carriage in Beijing? We have the most luxurious carriage in our house, spacious and comfortable, guaranteed not to be bumpy, as if walking on the ground, give you one! ”
