Hua Manxi choked her throat when she was asked, she was a smart person, and naturally understood that the chief manager saw that she was young and thought that she was too pretentious, and she was afraid that her mind was not pure.

But she's telling the truth! It's really distressing.

"Back to the manager, I was raised by my uncle, and my household registration was in my uncle's family, and my mother was not married, so I followed my mother's surname, and my father was unknown." Hua Manxi paused, and then continued, "Although I am from the Southland, I like spicy food very much, so I often buy recipes to read and study some Northland dishes. ”

"The chili sauce in Shishan County is very popular, and there is also tomato sauce, and many people in the north say that the chili peppers in the north can't make such a delicious chili sauce. It's normal for southerners to like northland food. The cook next to him couldn't help but whisper when he heard Hua Manxi say this.

"Yes, I've eaten that chili sauce, it's really delicious, I don't need to eat vegetables, it's chili sauce bibimbap, I can eat three bowls!"

"Bibimbap has no soul! If you want to mix noodles, the noodles are delicious! ”

"Where, it's delicious when it's put in wontons and vermicelli, by the way, I've also tried the dumplings, but it's delicious!"

"I've even mixed porridge! It's just as delicious, what are you guys! ”

Although the cooks talked very quietly, the chief manager still listened to it word for word! He had always heard the master in the palace mention this chili sauce and tomato sauce that were popular in Nanyang Kingdom, and everyone thought that he was working in Yipinju, and it should be very easy to get out a bottle or two to honor them!

However! No! Not at all! He hasn't tasted it yet!

This matter has to start from the shelf of Yipinju, which is also the best restaurant in Kyoto, and the supply of Yipinju ingredients is a fat difference, whether it is vegetables, meat, vegetables and fruits or wine seasonings, which one is not obediently sent to the door by himself, begging for Yipinju to receive.

But this chili sauce and tomato sauce are different!

This thing has been popular for a long time, I only know that it is produced in Shishan County, it is called Taohua Village Chili Sauce, Shishan West Tomato Sauce, and there is no name, and there is no news from the shopkeeper, which shows that people do not want to do the business of Yipinju supply.

That's not all, if you buy it in large quantities, you can't buy it at all, they limit it! If these nearby restaurants want to use these two condiments, they have to distribute all the work in the store and relatives and friends to help them in order to stock up on some goods.

Such a difficult thing to buy, what grade and identity they are, naturally they will not follow the trend, so the general manager, until now, I have never tasted what chili sauce tastes like.

He listened to the words of those cooks, and suddenly his heart moved, and he looked at Hua Manxi and said: "Our family has also heard about it, and the chili sauce you have there is indeed not a good reputation, and I heard that there is a tomato sauce recently." You stand there, and first go to the lodgings and settle in. ”

Hua Manxi is not a fool, he said this just to express himself and give him a bottle or two of chili sauce and tomato sauce.

Although this thing is not worth much, she gave it nothing! The bad thing is that Wang Shishi, that girl is obsessed with money, and she received other people's fox skins, and that car of Shishan County's specialties made her give Xu Shizi a favor! The rest of the little is for Chen Xiuli, she wants to give it, but she doesn't have it in her hand!

"Thank you, Archmaster." Hua Manxi sighed inwardly, but he still lowered his eyebrows and responded obediently, and stepped forward to stand with Xiao Wu.

Then the chief steward ordered the new cooks to be taken to the lodgings, and briefly explained the rules.

This is really huge, there are ten back kitchens. I heard that the No. 1 kitchen is specially designed to entertain the royal people, and the masters in the kitchen are all retired from the imperial dining room, while the No. 2 and No. 3 are the special kitchens of the princes and nobles, and the No. 4, 5, and 6 kitchens are for entertaining ordinary officials and eunuchs, and the remaining kitchens are the special kitchens in the lobby, entertaining ordinary people and merchants.

Said to be the lobby, Hua Manxi has also seen, the lobby of this product is different from other restaurants, it actually uses a modern card style, although the same lobby is used to eat, but the tables are all around, but also has a certain privacy.

Since you can be the No. 1 restaurant in Kyoto, you naturally have a few brushes.

And the master in the kitchen is divided into A, B, C, D, and other four grades, and the treatment and accommodation are changed with the grade, but it has been rated as a super first-class grade, which is the imperial kitchen level, at this time, you can enter the palace to try your luck, if the people in the palace like it, you can stay in the imperial dining room to be the imperial kitchen.

Hua Manxi and the others just came in, not even Ding and other masters, they have to be the kitchen first, if the kitchen is doing well, which kitchen master takes a fancy to them, they can go to the stove and serve the dishes.

The rules are so strict, but the treatment is not bad, the dormitory is two bedrooms and one living room, and there is a separate bathroom, the bed and furniture are very good, and the general chef of the big restaurant does not have this treatment.

"Your name is Hua Manxi, how old are you this year?" Xiao Wu's luggage was very simple, only a few clothes, she went to the door first, picked a big room first, and sighed, "My master is right, a craft can really change lives, I have grown so big, I have never lived in such a big room!" ”

Hua Manxi didn't mind, entered the small room, made the bed, and took out all her salutes, although she was also light, but there were a lot more things than Xiao Wudu, in addition to clothes and some skin care bottles and cans, account books, notebooks, pen and ink, in addition to the silver tickets that she carried, she put other things in different categories.

"I'm seventeen." Hua Manxi said truthfully.

"Seventeen, I'm fifteen, then I'll call you Sister Hua in the future, right? You're seventeen, haven't you said anything about your in-laws? Xiao Wu asked secretly.

When it came to her mother-in-law's family, Hua Manxi was full of irritability, she smiled slightly, and said: "I said, I have already made a marriage, but it is just a holy decree, I also want to come to Kyoto for a long time, so I postponed the marriage." ”

"Oh, then your mother-in-law's family, is she a cook, or a restaurant, or what do you do?" Xiao Wu asked again, she thinks that the person who can let her future daughter-in-law go to Kyoto to choose the imperial chef should be a cook or open a restaurant, otherwise, it is not very good to let her future daughter-in-law show up to be a cook after all.

Hua Manxi is a very conservative person, and he only knew Xiao Wu, so it was impossible to have a long talk with him, so he could only nod and say: "The family does open a restaurant." ”

This makes sense, if the restaurant marries a chef, if he gets the name of the imperial chef, he can attract a lot of business for the restaurant, which is why her owner sent her to Beijing for the travel fee.

"By the way, I'm hungry, why don't we go around Kyoto together and eat a few snacks, and I heard my father-in-law say on the way, there is everything on the streets of Kyoto." Xiao Wu proposed, "Anyway, the training will start tomorrow." ”

Hua Manxi shook his head and refused: "No, I have relatives in Kyoto, I want to go to him first now and send him some special products." ”

It's Chen Xiuli who is talking about, Wang Shishi and Danyun are waiting outside.

"That's right, by the way, speaking of specialties, I heard that your chili sauce at home is very famous, have you brought it, can you sell me a can?" Xiao Wu asked again.

Hua Manxi shook his head: "I brought a can, but it was ordered by the family to give it to relatives." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, and Hua Manxi saw that the time was almost up, so he took the key to the room and said, "Then I'll go first." ”

Xiao Wuben was also going out, so he also took a key, followed behind Hua Manxi, and said, "Do you have any relatives in Kyoto, I'm idle anyway, why don't I accompany you, I also have companions." ”

This little five is too enthusiastic, Hua Manxi doesn't like it very much, and gently refuses again: "It's just a distant relative, I'm here with his cousin, we only have one carriage, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, next time." ”

Xiao Wu's face was a little sneered, he stopped talking, Hua Manxi walked out of the courtyard of the dormitory, and remembered the topography of this place to prevent himself from making a mistake.

Outside the door, Wang Shishi and Danyun were anxious, and when they saw her come out, they rushed forward and asked, "How is it, how is the situation?" ”

Although Danyun didn't say anything, his eyes also looked at her.

"It's okay, the place to live is also very good, and the training camp will start tomorrow." Hua Manxi took Wang Shishi's hand and said.

"Let's get in the car, my cousin should be in a hurry, and said that we would have dinner together at noon, and now it's afternoon." Wang Shishi said anxiously.

"Okay." Hua Manxi answered, and then got into the carriage with Wang Shishi. Xiao Wu, who was following her, happened to see her get into the carriage. This carriage is so big, it is not a problem to seat a few more people, and the carriage is very luxurious, is it from her fiancé's house? Was that her fiancé? Although his face is cold, he can be regarded as dignified.

It's a good fate that her fiancé actually escorted her to Beijing and used such a good carriage. Xiao Wu sighed, which is like her. But she's too stingy, everyone is roommates who live together, and they are all here to learn art, but they just want to follow her to relatives, and they don't even want to.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, pinched the broken silver in his purse, and walked to the street.

Hua Manxi didn't know what a superb roommate she had, and she chatted with Wang Shishi on the carriage for a while, and told her everything about Yipinju.

"What, we still have to live in it, then we can't live in it, I'll buy a small yard next to here, and we can live together?" Wang Shishi is rich and rude.

"You're crazy, this place in Kyoto is expensive, how can it be so easy to say that you can buy a yard? You should be in Shishan County, you can buy a whole street when you are happy? Hua Manxi snorted and laughed, "Besides, it's more convenient for me to live inside, after all, I'm here for training, and it's not good to be too high-profile." ”

The two girls talked for a while, and then they heard Danyun say: "Hua Xiaochu, Miss Wang, is it the entrance of Suzaku Street?" It's here. ”
