He took the menu in Hua Manxi's hand, and then snatched the basket behind her, and then turned to Hua Manxi and said, "What kind of imperial chef are you a girl!" You and this dead eunuch are waiting for death in this ice cellar. ”

After saying that, he dragged Hua Manxi and the father-in-law behind a shelf, dealt with the traces, and walked away.

After the footsteps disappeared, Hua Manxi opened his eyes, rubbed the back of his head and sat up. The ice cellar was so cold that she rubbed her hands and shook the father-in-law on the ground, but the father-in-law did not react at all.

The powder should be an ordinary sweat medicine, it should not be fatal, Hua Manxi quickly took out the kettle he carried, pinched the father-in-law's nose, and poured him water violently, his father-in-law swallowed a few mouthfuls, and then choked up.

"What's wrong? It's cold! The father-in-law wiped his wet face and exclaimed.

"That guy just now snatched my menu and ingredients, and stunned you with sweat medicine, I couldn't beat him, so I pretended to be unconscious." Hua Manxi said truthfully.

"It's okay! This is the final of the Imperial Chef! It's so unruly! When the father-in-law heard this, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but the ice cellar was so cold that he was so cold that he sneezed several times in a row.

"Father-in-law, the menu that was drawn immediately was not marked with a name, if we go out now, we will both lose the qualification for the competition, and it will also delay time, you bear with it first, and when I finish the game, it is not too late to report him." Hua Manxi picked up the menu on the ground, looked at it, and said calmly.

"But it's already half an hour now, can you still catch up?" The father-in-law was worried.

"If you can catch up, don't worry, father-in-law, you can record these things truthfully." Hua Manxi said.

She picked up the menu on the floor, and when she saw it, several of the names were heavy.

On this menu, the meat dishes are: nose, ears, ears, and heart, green dragons and phoenixes, fire at the city gate, vegetarian dishes are white dolls in cold paste, eggs are eaten without sugar, black bear paws, and desserts are white sugar plums.

This one was easier than the one she had just had, but Hua Manxi turned pale with fright.

Isn't the green dragon and phoenix in this meat dish just a hen stewed snake soup? This is for her to catch snakes! Although she is not afraid of heaven and earth, she is afraid of snakes! Especially snakes that aren't dead!

"Father-in-law!" Hua Manxi's voice changed tone, "Don't pretend to be inside, is there a snake?" ”

"Yes, the Nine Princes love to eat snakes, and there is a snake kiln in the back mountain, which is for raising snakes." The father-in-law replied, "Snakes are going to be used in this menu?" ”

"yes, there are snakes." Hua Manxi gasped in fright, very helpless.

"In the sin, the snake kiln is terrifying, even the miscellaneous family doesn't dare to go, how can you catch snakes from a girl's family!" The father-in-law slapped his thigh and said with some pity.

Hua Manxi's face turned even paler, she was relieved when she heard that there was a snake kiln, but did she still have to catch this snake by herself?

"Is the snake kiln unguarded?" Hua Manxi asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, but I won't catch snakes for you, I catch them with my forks, the Nine Princes like to catch snakes, and I catch them myself every time." The father-in-law saw that her expression was pale, and persuaded, "Girl, forget it, why don't we go and report that person first, maybe we can get the ingredients back." ”

"You don't know, then there is definitely no chance of winning, if he says that you are not doing things well, and the father-in-law next to him does not admit it in order to clear the responsibility, we will be unlucky." Hua Manxi said worriedly, "Forget it, let's play first, how do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" ”

She persuaded her father-in-law, and then looked at the menu again, this menu is a braised pig's head and pork offal, and the green dragon and phoenix is the green snake stewed hen, and the city gate is on fire, it is braised fish, three vegetarian dishes, cold mud dolls, is cold lotus root, eggs are not sugar to eat, is eggs fried bitter gourd, and black bear paw is a vegetarian dish, with the main ingredient is tofu, with shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, cashew nuts, winter melon, eggs, abalone juice and other ingredients to taste.

And that dessert is simple, white sugar plums, in fact, black sesame rice balls.

Hua Manxi sped up this time, returned from the same way, took tofu from the tofu factory, and took a pig's head and pig heart from the pig farm, and then caught a chicken and eggs in the chicken place, and took dried shiitake mushrooms, cashew nuts, sesame seeds, dried abalone, etc. in the kitchen cabinet.

After taking these things, I caught another fish, and finally picked bitter gourd in the vegetable garden, lotus root in the lotus pond, and green and red peppers, ginger, onions, garlic and other seasoning things.

Everything is ready, only the green dragon is owed! Hua Manxi came to the snake kiln with a basket of ingredients on his back, and before he entered, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Hurry up, it's been half an hour." The father-in-law urged.

"Okay, okay, I can do it, I can do it." Hua Manxi moved these steps while cheering himself up, and under the leadership of the people watching the snake kiln, he almost climbed into the cold snake kiln.

As soon as she entered, Hua Manxi heard the sound of Sisisi, and her feet were so weak that she could hardly walk, but she saw some iron nets surrounding groups of snakes, and when she saw someone coming in, she spat out the letter.

"Master, won't these snakes crawl out if they are surrounded by barbed wire?" Hua Manxi's voice trembled, and the whole person trembled with fear.

"Climb, why don't you climb, look, that one crawls out, but—" Before the master could finish speaking, Hua Manxi looked up and saw a thick black snake above him, staring straight at her.

"Ahhhh Ahhh Master! It's climbing up! Hua Manxi was so frightened that the whole person was out of control, and as soon as she turned around, she ran out quickly, using a speed of 100 meters to sprint, for fear that if she was slower, the snake would catch up with her.

"Ouch, I haven't finished my sentence yet, these snakes have pulled out their teeth and don't bite." The old master sighed and forked the snake back with the fork in his hand.

Hua Manxi panted and ran out, sweating profusely, and his legs and feet were still weak.

"Chef Flower, where's the snake?" When the father-in-law saw him come out empty-handed, he was so anxious that he stomped his foot, "What about the snake!" ”

Hua Manxi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the whole person was a little bad, and said in a dumb voice: "No, I don't dare." ”

"What then? So now go and report that person? "My father-in-law stomped his foot, a little pity.

"Chef Hua, you also have snake dishes?" When Hua Manxi was struggling, a familiar voice suddenly sounded above his head.

She rubbed her aching temples and nodded, "Yes, I don't dare to catch snakes, and you want to be snakes too?" Hua Manxi asked.

The person who came was Xu Jing.

"Yes, you don't dare to catch it, I'll help you catch one, what do you want?" Xu Jing said happily.

"Green Snake." Hua Manxi thought about it, the rules said that you can't buy ingredients without permission, but you don't say that you can't help!

"Then I'll catch one for you." Xu Jing went in directly and said briskly.

"Father-in-law, he helped me catch one, don't you foul? It's not cheating, is it? Hua Manxi asked.

The father-in-law thought about it carefully and said, "There is no rule that says you can't help each other catch ingredients." ”

"That's good." Hua Manxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Xu Jing came out with two dead snakes, and for fear of Hua Manxi's fear, he also deliberately killed the snake, tied the snake's head in front of her, and threw it directly into her back basket.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Hua Manxi thanked him sincerely.

"Don't get in the way, you also taught me flower carving last night, and I just used it today." Xu Jing smiled slightly and said sincerely.

Sure enough, it's good to have one more friend.

Hua Manxi got the ingredients in a thrilling way, returned to the stove indicated on the menu, and began to operate.

At this time, there was still more than an hour left, less than two hours. Hua Manxi carried all the ingredients to the No. 20 stove indicated on the menu, and then killed the snake neatly, cut the pieces, killed the chicken, washed it, and processed the pig's head meat.

Braised pork head and pork heart is a cold dish, and the stewed time is also the longest, so you should make this dish first.

After chopping the selected pig's head meat into large pieces, then boil water in the pot, put the pig's head meat and pig's heart into the pot, and then use ginger slices to cook wine and green onion knots together to remove the fishy, blanch, rinse the pig's head meat, start another pot, boil water, put in the boiled ingredients, pepper, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, etc. wrapped in gauze, put it in the pot and cook it with the pig's head meat.

After boiling the pork head meat for half an hour, it has to be simmered in the pot for a while, and only after it is fully flavored can it be taken out and cooled and cut into pieces, so Hua Manxi hurriedly freed his hands to make other dishes.

The washed hen can be called a small piece, blanched with the snake segment, then take the crockpot, put the ingredients in it, and then put in ginger slices, green onions, white wine with an appropriate amount of salt and pepper and other seasonings, and then seal the jar and put it in the pot to steam over the water.

This soup is to take its clear and tonic taste, and it is not beautiful to put too many seasonings, only need to put some fishy things, and then use the most original steaming method through water, so that the steamed soup is rich and sweet, and there will be no greasy.

After these two dishes were cooked, Hua Manxi's heart that had been hanging finally let go, the fish had been marinated with seasonings, and the braised fish was a fast dish, she was not in a hurry, because if the fish was cold, it would not be delicious.

So after weighing it, Hua Manxi decided to make the vegetarian bear's paw, because this dish is far more complicated than braised fish and takes a lot of time.

But there is not much time, and she can't follow the traditional method to fry the tofu and then simmer it with the sauce, so Hua Manxi took a trick, crushed the tofu and shiitake mushrooms, soaked dried shiitake mushrooms, cashew nuts, winter melon pieces and other ingredients, and then used the utensils to crush all the ingredients.
