Fang Zhinan didn't say a word from the time he saw the diary to the time he left, he was always in a state of bewilderment with his mouth open and his eyes open, no matter what Meng Hui said, he would only nod his head, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Meng Hui was afraid that he would tear up the diary after he was embarrassed, so he had to take it back from him and keep it for himself, and asked him to go back to wash and sleep quickly.

Back in the house to hide the diary, Meng Hui hurriedly went to sleep on the kang, her heart has always been bigger, she didn't mean to play nervously in advance, she fell asleep as soon as she dipped her pillow, and got up the next day as refreshed as usual.

When I walked out of the house, I saw that Aunt Ma had already boiled water and waited for her to come out to wash, and a few helpers and chefs also came from the backyard yawning.

Chang Lu shouted loudly: "Oh, senior brother, you are heartbroken for Hui'er!" The circles under this eye are dark, and you can write with a little water! ”

As soon as he heard the writing, Fang Zhinan was trembling on the spot, his whole person was in a trance, and he didn't even see the master coming over, and he went directly into the big kitchen and never came out.

"What's going on? He's still in a hurry? ”

The shopkeeper also came from outside, and it was strange to see him like this, but he didn't ask much, and turned to look at Meng Hui and said, "Are you ready?" It's going to be a game in a while, so I deliberately took a day off to see you! You masters will also go, come back at noon to do your work, and go to cheer you up in the afternoon! ”

Meng Hui thanked the shopkeeper, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, my aunt and I are ready, and we will definitely not embarrass Tianxianglou!" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and together with the assistant chef and the chef who were going to go in the morning, a group of people went out of the door.

The streets of Nishijing have never been so lively, and the people in the city who are accustomed to seeing the emperor's relatives traveling, sometimes even the prince or the envoys of the feudal kingdom are too lazy to go to Kyoto to look.

The only thing that can be compared to today's excitement is the annual festival lantern festival.

Meng Hui took Aunt Ma to squeeze into a large square outside the palace, and saw a long queue of contestants from a distance, she quickly waved to the people in the store to take a step first, and pushed through the crowd with Aunt Ma and drilled in.

"Oh my God, today is not the Night Market of the Sacrifice Festival, everyone can't eat, why are there so many people!" Aunt Ma finally stood firm behind the team, and her chubby body was about to stand upright.

Hearing that she was out of breath, Meng Hui hurriedly handed her a pot of water in the small baggage.

"You can satisfy your cravings if you can't eat it, so many folk craftsmen cook together, if you can learn to use both hands, wouldn't it be good!"

A middle-aged man next to him snorted coldly when he heard this, and inexplicably stretched his head over and interjected: "I see that you women just want to steal our craft, and go back so that you can tell you what to do!" What can you women do? One race to the other's cunning! It will make the heart open! ”

"Are you still dreaming early in the morning?" Aunt Ma stopped Meng Hui, who was about to speak, behind her, and her voice was as loud as a bell, attracting many people to look here.

"Didn't you just set up a stall in the West Market to make rock sugar gourds? I really take myself seriously! Is that still a craft for you? I'm too lazy to learn what things beg me to learn!

"And say that women are useless? One is more cunning than the other? Ouch, all the eldest sisters, eldest sisters, eldest nephews and daughters present, we have to bring this to the referees when we enter the scene, and let them hand it to the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine and the princesses to listen! ”

Aunt Ma's roar caused many aunts and girls to shout, and the men who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement followed suit, shouting for the person in charge in front to bring the middle-aged man who disrespected the mother into the palace.

The middle-aged man who sold sugar gourds was so frightened that his face turned white, it was just a pity that he couldn't participate in the competition, and it was just a shame to be kicked out, if he was really dragged to see the nobleman and said what he just said, then he would definitely be beaten so that he didn't even know his father and mother.

The steward in front heard the commotion here, and really sent a tall and burly middle-aged man over, everyone knew each other at a glance, this is the most capable of fighting Xiao Liu in the government office. "What's the coax, if you don't want to get out of line, get out!"

There are good things who want to eliminate competitors, and they tell what just happened, Xiao Liu is a little unsure, this kind of thing can be very big, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

He saw that he was already calling him back, and decided to do it safely: "You, bring the admission ticket, don't go in and offend the nobles." ”

The middle-aged sugar gourd's feet were weak, Xiao Liu shook his head and lifted his collar and dragged him out, muttering as he walked: "It's not good to say something, I have to talk about this today, you stupid don't even go into the game, if you say a few more nonsense, you won't even be able to save your head." ”

"Auntie, that's amazing!" Meng Hui grabbed Aunt Ma and quietly came to her ear and praised her, "Jiang is still old and spicy, it will really stir up the atmosphere!" ”

"Hmph, your aunt and I never use swear words when we quarrel, but I never lose!" Aunt Ma looked proud and nodded her forehead, "Learn a little, as long as you stand firm, catch other people's mistakes and say to death, why scold people!" ”

Meng Hui saw that she began to teach the way of swearing, he felt funny in his heart, and couldn't help but want to listen, the two muttered for a long time, and soon came to the edge of the fence where they entered.

The gatekeeper checked the admission tickets, checked the baggage, and asked Aunt Ma a few words, and soon waved their hands to let them in to prepare to select raw materials.

The square stove had already been set up during the preparation period, and the whole square was full of newly piled temporary earthen stoves, which could be restored to normal when they were used up and then dismantled and brushed.

The number on Meng Hui's admission ticket was 266, and she first came to the stove with Aunt Ma to match the number, and put the small burden on the side to occupy a place. Inside there is a kettle, a customary kitchen knife and a carving knife, and a large four-panel blue and white plate for vegetables.

"Auntie, let's take the soy milk and the eggs!" Meng Hui saw that fresh soy milk had been ground out on one side and was being filtered, steaming, spreading from the square to the crowd.

People who want to make tofu today have to use soy milk to order it themselves, because some people like to use brine, and some like to use sour water;

Some need old tofu, some need tender tofu, and the contestants don't want to worry so much about themselves, so they simply boil soy milk to provide raw materials, and whoever wants to do it will make it themselves. So Meng Hui didn't worry about soy milk at all.

She and Aunt Ma were carrying two large buckets and decided to make enough egg jade crystals at one time, anyway, they would be refined later, and they were not afraid to put them aside to get cold.

While making soy milk, she swept her eyes to the area where she received the aquatic products, where there stood with a smug hair, and the girl who made her feel very resentful when she queued up last time.

"Auntie, look, you really want to be a stinky mandarin fish!" Seeing that the hairs of the mandarin fish were not plucked, Meng Hui couldn't help but snicker.
