He saw that Yao Xiaofeng was really angry, so he softened his attitude: "Good sister, think about it again, think about it again, she may not be able to make the three dishes you said, so let's make a tie and let them pay half of the money, we can't come in vain." ”

Yao Xiaofeng was silent and looked at him coldly.

"Good sister, good sister, please, I beg you, you must know that when you were a child, if your brother hadn't hid in a cave with you on his back and stole other people's sweet potatoes for you to eat, you would have starved to death. Brother agreed, really don't gamble, okay? Yao Dalong started his rhetoric again that he had said I don't know how many times.

But Yao Xiaofeng really relented, picked up the spatula again, and muttered: "The peerless Shuangjiao Qinglong Society, Qinglong, I asked her to make three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, this phoenix is used for chicken, and the dragon is used for shrimp meat, could it be that she, the Qinglong Society, also refers to shrimp?" The peerless double pride, the peerless double pride of the Green Dragon Club, is it the fried prawns with green and red peppers? Absolutely! ”

She suddenly woke up and quickly began to operate, light a fire, and start cooking.

Hua Manxi's side, she also called a person to light the fire, she knew how to make the dishes Yao Xiaofeng said, she had studied the palace imperial food in her previous life, and she knew a lot about these dishes.

The difficulty is in this assorted tofu soup, this dish, in fact, there is another name, just make Wensi tofu, which is a dish that tests the chef's knife skills, you need to cut the tofu off the old skin, and then cut the tender tofu into the size of a hair, put it in the water, to be delicate, distinct, to be considered a success.

It's not that she hasn't made this dish before, but she hasn't made it for a long time, and some of her hands are raw.

She took a piece of tender tofu and began to shred, and without accident, the first piece was wasted, but she finally found some feeling, and took another piece of tofu and began to cut it.

This time, it was finally successful, she put the tofu into the water, and the tofu shreds were clearly separated, and there was no adhesion or cut.

Hua Manxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to cook.

This tofu soup has always been famous for its fine knife work, soft and mellow, melts in the mouth, and is suitable for all ages.

Hua Manxi blanched the tofu in boiling water to remove the yellow water and beany smell, and then cut the shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast, ham, and blanched lettuce into thin strips for later use.

After the shredded mushrooms are added to the clear chicken soup and steamed, then scoop in the clear chicken soup and boil, then put in the shredded mushrooms, shredded winter bamboo shoots, dead ham, shredded chicken, shredded greens, add a little salt to taste, boil again, pour the soup out of the bowl for later use.

Finally, restart the pot, add the clear chicken soup, add the shredded tofu after boiling, wait for the shredded tofu to float, remove the shredded tofu and put it in the soup bowl of the ingredients.

Then, what she has to do is the magpie Dengmei, and the three fresh dragon and phoenix balls.

If Wensi tofu is a test of knife skills, then this magpie is a test of the chef's plating and decoration, and it is only a success to make this dish look like a magpie climbing a plum branch.

Hua Manxi is a handy of this dish, the magpie body embryo, Hua Manxi chooses the chicken breast meat shredded and broken, and the magpie's tail feathers, the choice is the goose breast meat batch into long strips, white feathers and yellow mouth, with white radish and carrots, both kinds of radishes have been pickled, the selection is sour and hot and crispy taste, with chicken breast and goose breast meat to eat just right. Cut the mushroom into a comb and a knife to make the neck feathers, then choose a mushroom, make the head, carve the eyes, and a vivid magpie is ready.

Of course, the rest is plum branches and plum blossoms, plum branches, which are still made of marinated goose meat, and plum blossoms, which are carved from carrots.

This dish is a cold dish, the taste is not as good as a hot dish, but it is pleasing to the eye, only those masters in the palace who are idle and have nothing to do like this kind of dish, if it is an ordinary person, there is no such idle time.

The last dish of three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, dragon, refers to shrimp meat, phoenix, and of course refers to chicken.

Hua Manxi first cut the shrimp meat into shrimp balls from the back, and then cut the chicken into large slices, cut it into chicken balls, and added starch and egg whites to the chicken and shrimp meat and mixed it evenly and hung the pulp.

Heat the oil, put the chicken and shrimp meat into the warm oil and slide through, then scoop up, leave a little oil, pour in the sauce and ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant, then put in the shrimp balls and chicken balls and fry together, and finally put the pot on it.

When Hua Manxi brought out the dishes, they were also ready, but only two dishes were served.

"Master Yao, please see, this is assorted tofu soup, this is magpie Dengmei, and this is three fresh dragon and phoenix balls." Hua Manxi introduced his dishes one by one, and said with a slight smile.

"You win, you make it all, I still can't think of a dish." Yao Xiaofeng saw that the dishes made by Hua Manxi were full of flavor and fragrance, and couldn't help but look at her twice.

This Wensi tofu was cut even better than hers, she scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth to taste, only to feel that her taste buds seemed to be reopened, and a mellow and sweet taste filled her mouth, which made her very surprised.

This, this dish, is even better than the master's! This tofu soup is the master's specialty, but the soup made by the master is not so mellow! It doesn't smell so good!

She took another look at the magpie Dengmei, and the position was lifelike and vivid, even if she came to pose, she may not have such craftsmanship.

There is also that three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, looking at it from a distance, the color is bright, the fragrance is overflowing, she used a clip to clamp a shrimp ball, the shrimp meat is soft and smooth and chewy, refreshing and delicious, and delicious, it is really a good product!

"I throw in the towel. Be completely convinced. Yao Xiaofeng put down the chopsticks, looking at Hua Manxi's eyes not only admiration, but also a little more envy, "Sure enough, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, I can't imagine that this small place still hides such a master, the girl is so young, but she has such cooking skills, I really admire!" ”

"It's overrated." Hua Manxi said modestly, and looked at the dishes she brought out, a dish of fried prawns with green and red peppers, and a dish of hen stewed egg soup.

"Ask the girl for advice." Yao Xiaofeng politely handed Hua Manxi a bowl and spoon.

Hua Manxi tasted this chicken soup and exclaimed: "The chicken soup is delicious, the soup is clear and bright, not bad, this prawn fried taste is very good, spicy and delicious, and it is also very good." ”

"Please also ask the girl to teach, what is a group of ants fighting black bears?" Yao Xiaofeng couldn't even think of it when he thought about it just now, and now he looked at Hua Manxi Dao with a blank eye, "As long as I know this dish, I don't want the money this time." ”

"Yao Xiaofeng, you're crazy! You-" Yao Dalong looked at Yao Xiaofeng and actually said that he didn't want money, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Don't want money!" What are we tossing! You are crazy! ”

"I said no, I didn't want it!" Yao Xiaofeng glanced at Yao Dalong.

"That table, only one flavor of three fresh soups, is worth a hundred taels of silver." Hua Manxi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yao Dalong, "If I guessed correctly, the three fresh soups were made by this girl, and the other dishes were made by this Master Yao, right?" ”

The two of them couldn't imagine that she could guess, and their faces changed suddenly.

Hua Manxi continued: "When the two of you came in, I glanced at the hands of the two of you, this Master Yao's hands are not like a cook's hands at all, the chef holds a kitchen knife all the year round, and his hands should be like mine, and his thumb and index finger only have a thick circle of calluses, so, if I guess correctly, the real imperial chef disciple should be this girl, right?" This Master Yao is just a master who eats money in the name of fame. ”

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yao Dalong's eyes dodged for a moment, and then he loudly reprimanded Hua Manxi.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it yourself." Hua Manxi smiled indifferently, looking at Yao Dalong's gaze with some disdain, he continued, "You two are dragon and phoenix fetuses, you really look alike." ”

As soon as she said this, Yao Dalong's face became even more ugly, and he was about to pull Yao Xiaofeng away, but Yao Xiaofeng knelt down with a puff and begged: "Little master, we don't want money, please don't tell me about it." I only have this craft to earn some silver, today is because I am too tired, last night made several tables of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in a row, this morning is really tired, so I will let him help me do it, I know that his cooking skills are not good, the things he makes can not enter the mouth of the noble, so let's make a table again to make amends, no money, okay? ”

"Y-you get up." Hua Manxi is a modern person, and he can't stand kneeling and worshipping at every turn, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Yao Xiaofeng up.

"Little master, please, really, if you tell this matter, it will cut off our way of life, in this era, no matter how good I am at cooking, no one is willing to invite a girl to make a banquet." Yao Xiaofeng refused to get up, and looked at Hua Manxi with tears in her eyes.

"Then you can go to a big family to be a cook, you have the work of a royal chef, and you are worried that you can't find a good job?" Wang Shishi was a little puzzled, during the time they were talking, she had already tasted the two dishes made by this girl, and the taste was not much different from Manxi's, this should be true! I can't find an errand.

"I, I offended people in Kyoto, and I can't stay any longer." Yao Xiaofeng said bitterly, "Besides, I want to go to a big family to be a cook, and most of them have to live in the house, so I don't worry about my brother." ”

"Ho! He's such a big person, don't you worry about him? Wang Shishi felt extremely ironic, and glanced at Yao Dalong coldly, "I don't have the ability, it's a drag, it's really amazing." ”

Seeing that his sister had told everything out, Yao Dalong was ridiculed by Wang Shishi again, only to feel ashamed and angry, stepped forward, dragged Yao Xiaofeng up, and said coldly: "Yao Xiaofeng, are you crazy?" What are you kneeling them for, it's a big deal that you don't want this money! ”

"You're still reasonable! Such a big man wants your sister to feed you! Please soak your pee and take care of yourself, shy or not shy! ”

When Wang Shishi saw him rudely step forward and drag Yao Xiaofeng, she immediately felt angry, and she pointed at Yao Dalong and scolded.
