"Come, let's congratulate us on the rest of our lives! Cheers! Qin Baiting was also a master who could enliven the atmosphere, and took the lead in shouting with a wine glass.

"Okay, celebrate the rest of our lives!" Everyone followed his words and clinked their glasses.

"The man did it, and the woman did it at will." Qin Baiting said, drank it all, and put the wine glass on the table.

Hua Manxi just took a small sip and didn't drink much.

"Come on, have another drink, this time celebrate that we are going to make a lot of money with Chef Hua!" Qin Baiting asked the attendant to pour the wine again, and raised his glass and touched it again.

Hua Manxi took another sip, and didn't finish a glass of wine twice.

"That's right, this tomato sauce thing, tomorrow I will write a plan for you to see, as for how much silver to invest, you are free, Miss Wang and I take the big head, we will first pay 50,000 taels of silver, plant the tomatoes on the desert island, and then this side will also be cultivated, there are a lot of tomatoes over there, this time, we will first make some samples out, if you go back to Beijing, you will bring some samples back to give away, and by the way to publicize this, and then in terms of sales, restaurants and restaurants around the country, I will talk with Miss Wang."

"You've done everything, so what are we going to do?" Qin Baiting glanced at Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi, patted his chest and said, "Chef Hua, don't worry, as long as you do this thing well, I will send it to the imperial dining room, and you will be an imperial merchant in the future!" ”

"Then thank you Qin Gongzi first." Hua Manxi was in a stable mood and thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I'll throw in five thousand taels of silver, and take it." Qin Baiting took out five thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them over to Hua Manxi.

"I'll vote 10,000 taels, for the two of us." Song Yan also handed over the silver ticket of 10,000 taels to Hua Manxi.

"Our two sisters have a total of five thousand, this is our private money, please, Chef Hua." Song Qiao and Song Qiao also took out the silver ticket and handed it to her.

"My five thousand taels, Miaojun's five thousand taels." Shen Huai also handed over 10,000 taels of silver.

"Big brother is so good, it's still the big brother who loves me the most." Shen Miaojun smiled slightly, and betrayed Shen Huai, who had a calm face.

"I, I'll cast a thousand taels of silver." Shen Miaolan seemed a little embarrassed, handed a thousand taels of silver tickets to Hua Manxi, and said in a low voice.

Hua Manxi didn't have a superfluous look, and while taking the silver, he wrote down the amount in the small notebook he carried.

"Chen Xiuli, lend me a few thousand taels of silver first, I didn't bring much silver when I went out this time." Chen Xiuya saw that Shen Miaolan had voted, and if she didn't vote, she would be embarrassed, but she had no choice but to ask Chen Xiuli.

"I have money, won't I vote for it myself?" Chen Xiuli shook his sleeves, showing a two-sleeved county order phenomenon.

"Master Chen has a cadre unit, and he is responsible for helping us with documents and paperwork." Hua Manxi interjected at the right time.

"Chef Hua, and mine, I'll invest 10,000 taels." Qin Qingrong, who has always been very low-key and quiet, suddenly took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and handed it to Hua Manxi.

"Qin Qingrong, why do you have so much money?" Chen Xiuya was stunned, "Do you still have it?" Can you lend me a little first? ”

"I only have so much left, and I have saved up my private money since I was a child." Qin Qingrong lowered her head and said softly.

"Cousin-" Chen Xiuya had no choice but to look at Shen Huai, Shen Huai couldn't make a child, and in the end he could only lend her three thousand taels.

The silver money was unified, the portions were divided, and it was just time to serve, this time it was still pork chops, but it was not wild boar, but domestic pork, and it was fried on both sides and slightly yellow, and it was steaming.

As for the tomato salad that Hua Manxi told Qin Baiting in his spare time, he actually got it out, using tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers.

Similarly, the tomato juice is squeezed, and this chef has an ingenuity to add honey and apple juice to taste.

Everyone thought that this way of eating was very novel, and after Hua Manxi demonstrated it to them, they all began to eat it with great interest.

This pork chop, fried it, it's actually okay, compared to the island only used some pepper and salt as a seasoning, this time it used cooking wine, ginger and so on to remove the fishy, and added cumin to taste, but compared to Hua Manxi made, but there is less taste.

But this is the imperial chef who has retired from the palace, and although everyone has a contrast in their hearts, they don't dare to squeak.

Only Qin Baiting wondered: "This method is obviously the same as Chef Hua's method, why is the taste so far off?" Could it be because of pork? Want to use wild boar? ”

Wang Shishi glanced at him directly, and said bluntly: "It's not the problem of pork, it's the taste of people, what kind of pork chop is this, you haven't eaten the steak made by Manxi, that's what it's called delicious, the juice is full, fresh and fragrant, one bite is going, the juice is full in the mouth, mixed with the rich taste of black pepper and cumin——"

"What? Can steak also be fried like this? As soon as Qin Baiting heard the delicious food, he came to his senses and asked.

"What is this, steak is much better than pork chops, beef burgers, french fries, you know what they are? And, of course, red bean pie, taro pie, whole wheat bread, puffs, ice cream cakes, these pastries are just dregs. Wang Shishi's smug eyes revealed a hint of disdain for Qin Baiting.

"What is this? The old man has been a royal chef for decades, and he has been studying recipes and never stopping, but he doesn't know what the girl is talking about, can you let the old man taste it? A neutral voice suddenly sounded behind Wang Shishi, startling Wang Shishi.

It turned out that the master who cooked came, this imperial chef's name is Xu Daxian, he entered the palace as an imperial chef at the age of fifteen, and has always been the leader of the imperial dining room.

"The master smiled, it's just some gadgets that aren't worth mentioning, it's just Miss Wang's taste." Hua Manxi hurriedly apologized in a low voice, "There are many disrespectful words, forgive me, master." ”

"What are you talking about this little girl, I'm an old man of half a hundred, and I still have a plan with a little girl? It's just that the things she said are really novel, and the old man really wants to taste them, so why don't the girl invite the cook over. Xu Daxian said sincerely.

"Well, it's me, I did it." Hua Manxi couldn't hide, so he could only admit in a low voice.

"You did it? Then you can make one for the old man to try it? Take this steak, for example. Although Xu Daxian didn't believe it, he thought that he also entered the palace as an imperial chef at the age of fifteen, and there were not no capable people, so it was not good to be too big.

"Then ask the master to come with me." Hua Manxi said humbly, "If you don't do well, please ask the master to teach you." ”

"Haha, you girl, goblin goblin, just these two sentences, you still want to be my apprentice?" Xu Daxian laughed and followed Hua Manxi to the small kitchen.

Hua Manxi instructed her subordinates to take the steak, beat it first, then marinate it evenly with pepper, cooking wine and other ingredients, and then began to fry it slowly, during which she made a red bean pie and a taro pie, which are extremely simple snacks and are easy to make.

Red bean pie is ground red bean paste, put into a dumpling wrapper, and then fried with oil, and the same goes for taro pie.

After frying the snacks and the steak is almost ready, Hua Manxi fried another poached egg and served the poached egg and steak.

"This steak is about the taste, so the heat is the most extreme, the best taste is tender and delicious, if it is fried, it is not good." Hua Manxi extinguished the fire, spread the steak on the plate, and cut it with a knife, "Master, you taste it." ”

Chef Xu picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it in his mouth, the freshly fried steak was still piping hot, and when he put it in his mouth, the rich black pepper flavor and the delicious meat were intertwined, and this novel taste activated Chef Xu's taste buds and made him have an experience that he had never experienced before.

"Master Xu, you can puncture this runny egg, eat it with the egg yolk dipped in the steak, and serve it with a cold vegetable salad." Hua Manxi saw that he was very satisfied, and proposed.

Cooks like to try novelties, so Master Xu naturally had no reason to refuse, and tried it according to Hua Manxi's proposal.

Master Xu put down the tableware, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then praised: "Originally, Qin Gongzi asked me to get these things, which are knives and forks, but I think that these people are elegant and pretentious, but after tasting your steak, I have a new insight, this ingredient is cooked like this, and it should be eaten in this way to show its taste." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Manxi felt a little embarrassed, she smiled slightly, and said, "Master Xu said that it was okay to eat with its practical chopsticks." ”

"Hahaha, you girl, you're quite good, I don't know if you have the heart to be an imperial chef?" Master Xu suddenly asked, "I see that you are quite suitable for the eye, and now there are many of my old buddies in the imperial dining room, if you want to see it, you can do it." ”

Hua Manxi didn't expect to meet the master's eyes like this, although she felt that her cook was still okay, but after all, there was a big difference between ancient and modern diets.

Moreover, the palace diet is the most delicate and rigorous of all cooking methods.

Master Xu saw that Hua Manxi was a little silent, thinking that she was unwilling, and persuaded: "I heard Qin Gongzi say that you cook with casual materials, novel methods, and no sects, which is very good, eating, is the joy of life, the world's avenue, whether it is frying, stewing, stewing, stir-baking, barbecue, or boiling, steaming, frying, slippery, and rolling marinade, thousands of techniques, each showing its magical powers, and the imperial dining room, it is a collection of chefs from all over the world in one place, it is a good place to learn." When it comes to eating, there is no end to learning, it is difficult to adjust the heavy mouth, and all kinds of flavors are done, do you really not want to go? ”

Chef Xu's words really hit Hua Manxi's heart, she is also a cook, and she also pursues the realm of cooking skills, although there are more rules in the imperial dining room, but if you want to learn things, where is better than the imperial dining room?
