Hua Manxi was still cooking desserts in the kitchen, and the maid came to pass the word, although she was a little surprised, but she still said calmly: "Okay, I'll serve the dessert later." ”

Hua Manxi followed Yao Xiaofeng to learn to make the imperial meal here for a few days, in order to prevent the Nine Princes from eating it, she specially chose a dim sum that is not available here, and this dessert after the meal is naturally not available here.

This time, she made coconut milk fairy grass jelly, as well as poplar branch nectar.

Both of these desserts use coconut milk, the desert island was developed by Wang Shishi can't wait, and the coconuts have been shipped back several boats, and Huamanxi taught the workers to take the coconut meat and make coconut flour.

Coconut flour is washed with milk and sugar, it can be boiled into coconut milk, put in the boiled and chilled fairy grass jelly, it becomes coconut milk fairy grass jelly, and put in mango, sago, and grapefruit, it becomes poplar nectar.

After Hua Manxi made these two desserts, he came to the flower hall with a tray.

The food inside has been eaten to the fullest, Hua Manxi glanced at it quietly, and he saw that he had eaten a lot of steamed buns and baked cakes, and he thought that they were still satisfied with this meal.

She gently put the tray on the table, and did not look up at the guests, but turned her head to look at Chen Xiuli, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, the maid said that you are looking for me?" This is a dessert I made, so please try it. ”

Chen Xiuli's expression was indifferent, his tone was as gentle and elegant as ever, and he said to Hua Manxi: "You sit down, it's the guests who want to see you." ”

After he said that, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Shao, and then said softly: "Lord Shen, Ninth Master, this is my friend, named Hua Manxi, who is a cook. Manxi, I have seen Lord Shen and the Ninth Master. ”

Hua Manxi didn't sit down, and after listening to Chen Xiuli's words, he saluted the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Manxi has seen the Ninth Master and Lord Shen. ”

"You're polite, you're polite, Chef Hua bothered to entertain you, and the official liked it very much." Shen Shao showed a smile that could be called a demon, and after looking Hua Manxi up and down, he said without adjusting, "Chef Hua eats in the kitchen all day long, but he doesn't want to be like this, his skin is like snow, and he is well maintained." ”

Shen Shao said, and even walked towards Nan Jinxing: "Ninth Master, do you say yes or no?" ”

Nan Jinxing was still eating, but after hearing Shen Shao say this, he even put down his chopsticks, looked Hua Manxi up and down, nodded and said: "It's really good, although it's not a beautiful look, but she is also a beautiful woman, and the cooks in the imperial dining room are all five big and three rough gentlemen, but there is no such a lovely little girl." ”

Nan Jinxing has always liked to eat, drink and have fun, and he is so beautiful, Chen Xiuli saw that Shen Shao deliberately pushed Manxi into Nan Jinxing's eyes, a cold hatred flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists without a trace.

However, although he is a son-in-law of Shangshu, he is not favored, otherwise he was originally a high school tanhualang, why was he sent to this kind of poor countryside where birds don't poop to be a small county magistrate? Isn't it his good mother's hands and feet?

In the end, he is soft-spoken, he can't even stand in his own mansion, how can he shake this powerful minister Shen Shao, who has the respect of a little prime minister?

He is really unmentionable compared to Xu Gongzi.

Many thoughts flashed in his heart, but in the end, he still showed a faint smile, and said quietly: "The ninth master and Lord Shen have won the award, Manxi's fiancé originally didn't like her to be a cook, but this time it was also in the face of the ninth master and Lord Shen that he came to cook, and speaking of which, the lower official still can't stand her fiancé." ”

However, Shen Shao seemed to be particularly interested in Hua Manxi, so he directly bypassed Chen Xiuli, looked at Hua Manxi and the dessert in front of her, and said lightly: "Chef Hua, what kind of dessert is this?" The official looks quite delicate. ”

Hua Manxi was not stage frightened, took the dessert out of the tray and put it in front of him in two small bowls, the first two small bowls of the Nine Princes, and the first two small bowls of Chen Xiuli.

"Back to Lord Shen, this bowl is called coconut milk fairy grass jelly, and this one is called Yangzhi nectar." Hua Manxi said slowly, "This coconut is produced from the fruit of a tree by the sea, the shell is hard, but the flesh is delicious, used to dry, refined into coconut powder, and then added milk and sugar, it is boiled into coconut milk, this fairy grass, very popular locally, is a dessert to relieve the heat, I just used the good fairy grass to chill it, and then mixed with the same chilled coconut milk, to make this coconut milk fairy grass jelly. ”

After a pause, Hua Manxi continued: "And this poplar manna also uses coconut milk, as well as boiled sago, and is added with locally abundant fruits, grapefruit flesh and mango flesh. These two desserts are refreshing and delicious, and Lord Shen and Jiu Ye can taste them. ”

Shen Shao and Nan Jinxing listened to her and said it well, plus the two bowls of desserts, one bowl of black and white, and the other bowl of colorful, they were quite appetizing.

Besides, after eating so much seafood and buns, I was getting tired of my mouth, so I naturally picked up a spoon and started eating dessert.

Not to mention, this kind of dessert is really different from Kyoto's greasy, sweet and sour desserts.

They have also eaten this fairy grass jelly, but it is mixed with white sugar water or honey, which is either bitter or sweet, but Huamanxi is mixed with coconut milk, which is not only suitable for sweetness, but also has a rich fragrance, and smells refreshing.

The same is true of the poplar branch nectar, this one is a little sweeter because of the fruit, and even Nan Jinxing, who doesn't eat fruit on weekdays, has eaten up a small bowl of dessert.

Satisfied, Shen Shao wiped the corners of his mouth casually, his shrewd and inquiring gaze fell on Hua Manxi again, and he slowly spoke: "Chef Hua's skills are comparable to those of the imperial chef, and his mind is even smarter, I don't know which Lang Jun is so blessed that he can get such an interesting daughter-in-law?" ”

Chen Xiuli's eyebrows jumped almost subconsciously, and a deep worry flashed in his eyes, but he was suppressed by him.

Hua Manxi smiled lightly, still very indifferent, and replied: "Thank you Lord Shen for your compliment, Xiao Chu's fiancé is just an ordinary businessman, who travels all year round and earns hard-earned money." ”

Chen Xiuli was worried that Shen Shao would continue to entangle this topic, so he proposed to Nan Jinxing at the right time: "Ninth Master, do you have anything to do with Lord Shen after dinner?" If there is nothing to do, the lower official wants to take the ninth master around this small place, which can be regarded as a little bit of the friendship of the landlord. ”

Nan Jinxing nodded, and said briskly: "Haha, since Lord Chen is so gracious, then this king is disrespectful, Lord Shen, don't you say it?" ”

Shen Shao unfolded an evil smile, but his eyes fell on Hua Manxi's face meaningfully, and said slowly: "I have read the brochure of your food festival, if you can experience a farmhouse, and then there is a delicious taste made by Chef Hua, this official will naturally be very happy." ”

Why did you get involved with her again? Hua Manxi always felt that this Lord Shen seemed to be interested in herself—uh, quite a feeling?

She raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Xiuli with some puzzlement, the two had been working together for many days, and they already had some tacit understanding. Chen Xiuli was also raising his eyes to look at her, revealing a rather helpless look.

The actions of the two did not fall in Shen Shao's eyes at all, he gently tugged at the corners of his lips and shook his head without a trace.

Since you are going to the farmhouse, it is naturally not in the county, and the group of sons and young ladies have not experienced the fun of plowing the fields, so they naturally followed.

The carriages of Wangfu were still used, and several carriages went to the small village in a mighty manner.

Hua Manxi originally wanted to go to Peach Blossom Village, because Peach Blossom Village is also a pilot farmhouse, and she is familiar with it, but Chen Xiuli stopped her with his eyes and chose to go to Yangjia Village next to her.

Although Hua Manxi didn't know why, her family Xu Gongzi had told her before leaving, she should believe Chen Xiuli and listen to Lord Chen's opinion, she was naturally obedient.

Shishan County is by the sea, the weather is relatively good, the snow is a little bit, after the snow, it is clear, the sun is very bright, the few snow marks on the road have also melted, the mountains and trees are green, it is indeed a scenery that can not be seen in Kyoto.

"There are still wildflowers here, my God, we are in Kyoto, if it is this season, except for the ones raised in the house, there are no wildflowers in the wild, they are all snow, white and vast." Qin Baiting was just chattering, and began to mumble again.

"Kyoto also has the scenery of Kyoto, thousands of miles of ice and snow, and they must have never seen such a scene with such a little snow falling here." Shen Miaojun replied.

"That's the same, when we go hunting when it's snowing, how refreshing it feels, a white expanse, suddenly a fat wild deer pops out, and the venison is delicious." Song Su also replied.

The light clouds that followed the flower manxi were catching up with the car, and he showed a look of disdain when he heard this, hey, this group of Kyoto people who have never seen the world.

"Venison is delicious as the dried meat made by Chef Hua, this wild boar meat is really the most delicious and delicious snack I have ever tasted, what Zhenguo Zhai in Kyoto, Wuxiang Garden, all of which can't be compared." Qin Baiting was still holding the wild boar jerky brought back from the desert island in his hand, chewing the chewy jerky while muttering vaguely.

"This is obviously prepared by Chef Hua for the two of us, you are really shameless, you actually hid them all!" Song Su glanced at Qin Baiting, and while he was not paying attention, he snatched a handful of jerky from the jar in his hand.

"You are shameless, and you didn't row a boat to ask for help, and besides, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have suffered this sin." Shen Miaojun glanced at Song Su and said sarcastically.

"Ouch, Shen Miaojun, what you say is not authentic, if it weren't for my small mistake, you would be able to eat tomatoes? Can you eat coconut milk fairy grass jelly? Can you eat poplar nectar? ”

Shen Miaojun thought of the two desserts that everyone ate before leaving just now, and the sweet and smooth taste in his throat was still there, and he was speechless for a while, and he no longer choked him.
