Hua Manxi didn't see the surprise in her eyes, so she directly took out a basket of steamed buns, then mixed ginger shreds and balsamic vinegar, brought them to the table where the semi-finished products were placed in the kitchen, brought two pairs of chopsticks, and Wang Shishi began to feast.

"This xiaolongbao, the soup inside is very hot, you must bite into a small hole first, and then slowly absorb the soup inside, and then put some vinegar, take a bite, perfect." Hua Manxi was eating while teaching Wang Shishi on the spot.

The two of them were eating vigorously when there was a violent knock on the door outside the kitchen.

"Flower Kitchen! Flower Kitchen! Are you in there? "It's the voice of the light clouds.

Although Hua Manxi deliberately designed him just now, but in the current situation, he couldn't care about these little things, so he could only step forward and call the door.

When Danyun heard about the assassination, he was anxious, but he didn't want to open the door as soon as Hua Manxi opened the door, and Wang Shishi and Wang Shishi were holding chopsticks in their hands, and one of them was stuffing a soft and white bun in his mouth, and they were eating deliciously.

With a black line on his face, he entered the kitchen, closed the door, and sighed faintly: "I'm really impressed that you guys are still in the mood to eat steamed buns." ”

"Why are you not in the mood, the two of us don't know kung fu, if people really hit the door, we can't beat it, it's better to sit down and have a good meal, and if you want to die, you can be a full ghost." Wang Shishi was eating steamed buns while muttering.

Danyun actually felt that what she said was very reasonable, and there was no way to refute it for a while, so she could only take a pair of chopsticks and put a bun in her mouth, but she was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.

Hua Manxi listened to the sound of clanging bells outside, and was a little puzzled for a while, if Xu Shizi was really Xu Jinfei, Danyun should go to help, where is there still leisure to eat buns here?

"Danyun, it's a terrible fight outside, aren't you going to help?" Hua Manxi still couldn't hold back his words and asked.

While blowing the buns, Danyun said: "I am ordered by Gongzi to protect you, if you have any mistakes, not only me, but also the breeze will suffer." ”

"But I'm fine, I'll close the door with Shishi, you go out to help, if Xu Shizi loses, maybe people will kill people in order to cover up the traces." Hua Manxi urged.

"I can't go, I promised my son that I would protect you every step of the way." Danyun said stubbornly.

Hua Manxi ran out of ideas, sat down, and stuffed a few xiaolongbao into his mouth.

The three of them quickly solved a cage of xiaolongbao, but they heard a sudden calm outside.

"You hide behind the door, I'll open the door and see." Light Cloud motioned for them to hide behind the door, then opened the deadbolt.

Fortunately, the people outside the door are all familiar faces, and it seems that Xu Shizi should have won.

"Light clouds! You're hiding in the kitchen! I also steal steamed buns! You're too unrighteous! Your martial arts are so good, if you can help one or two, our family will not be injured! Feiying saw that Danyun was still chewing buns in his mouth, and he immediately blushed with anger.

Danyun originally wanted to ask about the prince's injury, but now Hua Xiaochu is full of doubts, if he asks, he must be asking for trouble, so he is patiently worried, pretending to be calm and said: "I'm sorry, I was ordered by my master to protect Hua Xiaochu every inch, I can't go away." ”

But Hua Manxi heard it, flashed out from behind the door, and asked lightly, "Is your family injured?" Is it serious? ”

Hearing her question, Feiying thought to himself, he is still a sensible person, and it is not in vain that the prince has taken extra care of them along the way.

Therefore, Feiying deliberately said: "It's quite serious." ”

Unexpectedly, Hua Manxi frowned, and said, "Will that affect our hurry?" If the trip is delayed, you people are not worried, but it will affect me and Father-in-law Bao. ”

Eagle: "......."

Xu Yang: "......."

Light Cloud: "........"

Although Hua Manxi spoke absolutely, her heart was still good, and she still returned to the kitchen and made a bowl of perfect tonic soup for Xu Shizi to replenish qi and blood.

This soup, she often cooks it for Xu Jinfei to drink, and she is very skilled, but she just boils it for a longer time. After Hua Manxi stewed the soup, he gave the soup bowl to Xu Yang and asked Xu Yang to send it in.

Xu Yang brought a steaming bowl of soup to the room, put it on the table, and said, "Lord Shizi, this is the soup boiled by Chef Hua, saying that you are injured, replenish your qi and blood, get better quickly, don't delay her to hurry——"

Injured Xu Shizi: "........" He felt that his daughter-in-law was really ruthless.

He glanced at the soup, it was the perfect tonic soup he used to drink, and he was a little faintly unhappy!

His daughter-in-law said here that she was going to withdraw from the marriage, but over there she stewed tonic soup for a strange man! He felt very weird, like he was eating his own jealousy—

Tangled and tangled, the soup made by his daughter-in-law still has to be drunk, Xu Jinfei drank this big bowl of soup to the point that there was no drop left, and then he changed the medicine and went to sleep.

Well, he deliberately suffered a little bit of injury, so as not to delay the journey.

As for the purpose of the injury, it is naturally to stop Manxi from continuing to test his footsteps! Let him go to Kyoto steadily.

Xu Shizi's abacus played well, and along the way, Hua Manxi thought that he was seriously injured, and he didn't bother him anymore, and the group arrived in Kyoto smoothly.

When he arrived in Kyoto, he was naturally going to part ways, Xu Shizi wanted to return to the Zhenguo Mansion, and Hua Manxi entered the unified training of Yipinju under the arrangement of Bao Gonggong. Because the specifications of Yipinju's back kitchen are compared to the imperial dining room, let these auditioned imperial chefs learn some rules here, and they can also screen out people with ulterior motives, so as to ensure the safety of the chefs sent to the imperial dining room.

Therefore, Yipinju in Kyoto has another nickname, which is the small imperial dining room.

When Hua Manxi was in Shishan County, she had heard Uncle Zhao and Qin Xiaoye's gang mention Yipinju, and she thought it was a restaurant with pomp and circumstance, but when she really came here, she was still shocked.

This restaurant is too big! There are even northern and southern cuisines for diners to choose from.

This restaurant covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, with a lobby, private rooms, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and it is completely a large royal private restaurant!

Before Hua Manxi finished marveling, the chief manager who was in charge of managing the quasi-imperial kitchen came over, and the chief manager turned out to be a person from the palace, pinching a sharp and feminine voice and said: "The little chefs who arrived today, please come here to line up, let our family register, and then arrange the accommodation and where to go." ”

Hua Manxi glanced at the cooks who arrived today, there were dozens of people, of course, Hua Manxi believed that this was definitely not all the number of people who recruited Yuan this time.

My good man, then there are at least a few hundred imperial chefs recruited this time! It's just a longevity, as for it! This royal style is really not to be underestimated, a wicked feudal society!

Hua Manxi scolded in her heart and went to the queue, but she was embarrassed.

There are so many cooks, almost all of them are men, and there are only two girls! She and the girl's family looked at each other helplessly, and both chose to stand behind.

The chief manager was in front, checking the information of the household department while registering.

"What's your name? Who are the people in the family? Which faction did you learn from, and what cuisine you were best at? The Grand Steward asked sharply.

"Little Ang Li, both parents at home, and younger siblings, I am a cook of southern cuisine, and the dishes I am best at are steamed sea bass and steamed pork ribs." This person was the cook who came with Lord Zhao.

Presumably, the adults have already said hello, the chief manager registered, waved his hand, and asked Li An to be taken out, and sneered: "I'm good at two dishes, and I want to be an imperial chef, take it down." ”

Hua Manxi could see from the corner of his eye that Lord Zhao's housekeeper was waiting outside.

Except for her who knows the inside story, no one else knows, and they are so frightened that they don't dare to come out, this imperial chef selection is so strict, when it is her turn later, you must say a few more dishes!

"Next, who is the surname, who is the family, the teacher is from the faction, and is good at cooking?" The chief manager tapped the table with the brush in his hand and called again.

Another slightly older master stepped forward and replied: "The little chef's name is Chen Qiuye, his parents go first, he has a good wife, a son and two daughters, and he makes northern dishes, and the dishes he is good at are red oil duck, braised hooves, double-flavored fish head, etc." ”

"Okay, you stand here first, and wait for a few more people to arrange accommodation together." The Grand Steward nodded and continued to ask, "Next." ”

Hua Manxi had just arrived, very tired, waiting was simply smoky, finally it was the turn of the girl in front of her, she was in a hurry, almost fell, Hua Manxi subconsciously reached out to help her, and then woke up.

Seeing that the people behind him turned out to be two young girls, the chief steward couldn't help but take a closer look, and then lowered his head and asked.

"My name is Xiao Wu, no father and no mother, I have followed my master to set up a stall since I was a child, there is only one master in the family, I am a master of southern cuisine, and the dishes I am good at are golden egg fried rice, pickled Du Xian, Wufu bags, etc." She said, raising her eyes and staring at your chief steward a little nervously.

However, the chief steward did not look at her much, and pointed to a place beside her, and said, "You stand there, and there are two girls, and you live together." ”

Hua Manxi was the last, and after the chief manager asked, she slowly replied: "My name is Hua Manxi, I have my mother and uncle's family at home, and I have studied some northern and southern dishes, but I am good at making seafood, because my hometown Shishan County is rich in seafood." The more convenient dishes include steamed shrimp and crab, shrimp and crab porridge, seafood pot and so on. ”

This is the first time that he said that he knows both southern and northern cuisine, and the chief manager frowned, looked at her, and suddenly said: "Shishan County, is that the hometown of food?" ”

Hua Manxi nodded, respectfully and unflatteringly: "Exactly." ”

The chief manager glanced at her meaninglessly, and said in a somewhat sarcastic voice: "Shishan County is from the south, you are a girl's family, but you say that you know northern cuisine, how do you understand?" And how do you take your mother's last name? Where's your dad? ”
