Chapter 154: Undercover Agent in Disguised Male Clothes (24)

The reason why Meng Hui felt funny was because the stinky mandarin fish recipe was deliberately spread by her after discussing with the master.

Before the game, Meng Hui saw Xiaohui's soul side and promised to make Mao Buba make a fool of herself in the competition, but in fact, Xiaohui didn't need to say that she planned to do so in her heart.

Who let Mao Buba sneak around her in the daytime, eavesdrop on her talking to the stall owners, and finally blocked her in the dark alley and threatened!

When she bought hairy eggs that day, she had a vague idea in her heart, and when she returned to Tianxianglou and thought about the details carefully, she told the master about this decision in private, and asked him to see if it could be done.

Stinky mandarin fish is a famous dish in Anhui that she has seen on the Internet, it smells very stinky, and people who don't like it can't wait to throw it into the trash can immediately, but it tastes very fragrant, and the meat is tender, mellow and refreshing, and there is an unusual new and strange fragrance.

At that time, the master asked her with a little puzzlement: "Since it is so novel, and the taste is indeed delicious, why do you want him to do it?" What if you win? ”

Meng Hui replied with a mysterious smile: "No matter how delicious it is, the nobles in the palace will not admit that this dish is delicious, so you can put ten thousand hearts." ”

When she was eating in the palace and the palace, she found that the ladies and princesses in the palace, no matter how peculiar their tastes and how much they liked new and strange things, would never admit that they liked stinky dishes, and this kind of food would not appear on the table at all.

First, because the traditional concept that goes deep into the bone marrow makes them think that "stinky" is an ungrade taste, such as folk stinky tofu, hairy eggs, snail noodles and so on.

The second reason is that the nobles in the palace will inevitably have to talk and deal with the emperor and the queen mother, if they eat food with a strong smell, it will be difficult to eliminate it for a while, and if they let people who have always been discordant catch them, they may be ridiculed for several years.

Therefore, the smell may arouse their curiosity, some people may cover their noses to taste it, and even a small number of people will like this taste, but they will not admit that the smelly dishes are good for various reasons.

To put it bluntly, you have to be pretentious in the palace.

Most of the dishes in the palace are exquisite, atmospheric, wealthy, and auspicious, and the taste can be light and light, but it can't be light and will not pursue too much spicy and salty and other heavy tastes.

A cautious imperial chef will not risk being reprimanded and deliberately cook stinky dishes, after all, he can only smell before he eats them, and no matter how good the food is, it is useless if people don't want to eat it.

When you smell it, you will be disgusted, and it will definitely make the nobles who eat unhappy.

Although the ancestor of the owner of Tianxianglou is the imperial kitchen, after so many years no one has entered the palace to do things, he has long not known what it is like inside, and the master master does not know the twists and turns in the hearts of these nobles.

Meng Hui believes that as long as this is still a feudal dynasty, those ladies and princesses will not be too different from other dynasties, even if this competition is about a "novelty", the smelly dishes will still not be appreciated.

Seeing that Mao Buba was really picking mandarin fish, Meng Hui was simply smiling in his heart, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face.

"Does this fish have to be marinated for five or six days? Heck, I'd love to see him do it today and see what the faces of the referees were. Aunt Ma made the soy milk and covered it with a lid, and took several large pieces of gauze for filtering.

"Several referees are knowledgeable about stinky dishes, so they won't be too surprised. But they're sure they're going to bring it up. ”

Meng recalled that there were owners of Tianxiang Building and Yuyang Building on the judges' bench, and he knew that these two would definitely not miss the opportunity to make Mao Buba enter the palace and be embarrassed.

A total of nine days were given for the preliminary round, because many people had to take the raw materials to marinate the new dishes for a few days.

Today, everyone is here to pick the ingredients, and if they can do it on the spot, they will do it first, and let the selected 100 people score.

Wait until nine days later, and then count everyone's scores, and pick out the top 50 dishes to rate the judges. The four judges picked out twenty more, and then these twenty people had to go into the palace to cook for the imperial chefs.

The imperial chefs then selected the top ten and reported them to the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, and they decided to select the top three for the Emperor.

"Let's go, auntie, as long as he makes this dish, he can't have a long face, maybe he will have to be reprimanded."

Meng Hui carried the heavy soybean milk bucket and walked back, his eyes were staggered, and he saw that the resentful girl had picked a sea bass, a sturgeon, and a large basket of double-headed abalone, and the eyes of the person who watched the raw materials jumped.

Is this going to be tall on the river seafood?

Meng Hui didn't have much interest in the precious ingredients, and made up his mind to take the simple route, so he only glanced at it and withdrew his gaze.

She put the soy milk by the stove, and went to the dry goods area with Aunt Ma, and when she was filling the basket with eggs, she saw the girl again.

The girl looked serious and took a piece of seaweed to choose, the new frame put a bag of good japonica rice, a small bag of glutinous rice, and a large number of cucumbers, after taking the seaweed, she dragged a heavy bamboo basket to the egg area, glanced at Meng Hui and withdrew her gaze, squatted down to pick up the eggs.

Meng Hui sensed the resentment in her body again, a little weaker than the last time she signed up, but it still made her feel uncomfortable when she was close.

"Is so much enough? That's enough, let's go back and get started, shall we? ”

Aunt Ma couldn't feel these invisible breaths, and when she saw that the girl came to pick the eggs and gave way, the girl glanced at them and politely thanked them.

Meng Hui didn't look any further, and when he saw that the amount of eggs was about the same, he nodded to Aunt Ma, and the two carefully dragged the basket back to the stove.

"Hui'er, what do you think that girl is going to do? Why are you pulling a roller blind! While beating the eggs, Aunt Ma motioned to Meng Hui to look at the No. 200 stove not far away.

The resentful girl took out a square green bamboo curtain from her baggage, put it aside, and then took out a slender sharp knife.

She didn't care about the noise and chaos around her, soak the japonica rice and glutinous rice in water in proportion, gently scrub them with her hands for a while, and peel the cleaned cucumbers and cut them into long strips.

The perch and sturgeon in the other basket were quickly cut into thick and uniform fillets, modified into beautiful shapes, and placed on a white disk for later use.

Meng Hui was already stunned when she saw this, what the resentful girl wanted to do was obviously sushi!

There is no such thing as gimbap, so even if you think about it, it can't be exactly the same as the modern way of doing it on Earth, right?

Could it be a traverser? But what's the resentment on her? It can't be that you have a bad time after crossing and are reborn, right?

Meng Hui's mind was in a mess, and at this moment, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and the doubts in her heart were solved at once.
