[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Fortunately for Ruixue, her father chattered about such a long list of dishes, and finally instructed Chen Mao in detail only a few dishes such as Yanlai bamboo shoots, eight-treasure tofu and fish, and said that he would teach him to make Wensi tofu in a few days.
But Chen Mao couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart for a long time, and he also took the time to practice tofu slices every day. Although Chen Mao didn't know why Master Wang only taught him to make bamboo shoots, tofu and fish, these three things have benefited him for a lifetime.
On this day, Chen Mao made a bamboo shoot, tofu and fish for lunch according to Wang Jiuzhi's original request, brought it to the front, and then habitually stood aside and waited for Wang Jiuzhi's comments.
Wang Jiuzhi didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, but beckoned Chen Mao to sit down: "You sit down, I have something to say to you." ”
Seeing Wang Jiuzhi talking to himself so solemnly, Chen Mao couldn't help but feel uneasy. These days, he has gradually faded his mind to return to Lemin Building, and he has also faded his mind that Wang Jiuzhi will accept him as an apprentice. The reason is very simple, if Wang Jiuzhi accepted himself as an apprentice, he would not have taught him some tricks of cooking so quickly; If he could go back to Lemin Building, Wang Jiuzhi would not teach him here. He had already regarded Wang Jiuzhi's guidance as an independent skill in the future.
Is that the end of this kind of guidance? Chen Mao couldn't help but feel infinite regret, if only he taught himself a few more days.
"You sit." Wang Jiuzhi asked Chen Mao to sit down again.
Chen Mao leaned sideways and sat down next to half a stool. Waiting for Wang Jiu to point out his relationship with him is over today.
Chen Mao's nervousness Wang Jiuzhi saw it all in his eyes, it seemed that his attitude was a little too much, he eased down and tried to soften his voice: "There is a banquet in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion tonight, you go for me." ”
Chen Mao was immediately dumbfounded, and the banquet of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion asked him to go: "I can't do it, I can't do it." Chen Mao only had the word no-go in his mind, how could he go to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion on behalf of Master Wang.
Wang Jiuzhi stared at Chen Mao seriously and said encouragingly: "You can." ”
"I really can't." How could he, an apprentice who had not yet graduated, go out to make a big banquet and be able to cook for Master Wang, he felt very lucky.
Wang Jiuzhi smiled slightly. Now he just said that he would go to the Caoyun Governor's Palace, if he knew that tonight's banquet was actually a selection for the Wanshou Festival, would he not even be able to hold the knife steadily?
"You can, you're learning so well these days. Besides, you won't go alone today, the chefs in the store will go, and you will only be responsible for one dish. ”
Wang Jiuzhi tried to minimize the situation as much as possible, he could understand Chen Mao's psychology, and he was also very nervous when he was cooking for the first time, worried that he would not be able to do this or that. The most important thing is to calm down.
Chen Mao relaxed a little at this time: "All the masters are going?" ”
"Yes, Master Zhou and they will all go, I asked Ruixue to follow you, and then you can go to Master Zhou. If you don't understand anything, just ask Master Zhou. ”
Chen Mao pointed at Ruixue and said, "Ruixue is going too?" ”
"Yes, she's going to make desserts, and she'll need you to take care of them when the time comes."
This time it was Ruixue's turn to be surprised, and she pointed to herself: "I'm going too?" Dad, I won't. ”
Chen Mao tugged at Rui Xue: "Don't be afraid, the things you make are also delicious." ”
Wang Jiu looked at Chen Mao, who persuaded Ruixue: "You're not afraid?" ”
Chen Mao smiled embarrassedly. He can understand now that he was like Ruixue just now, and the first thing that came to mind when he heard that he was going to a big occasion was that he couldn't do it.
Wang Jiuzhi turned his head to look at Rui Xue quietly, and smiled at her.
Rui Xue looked at Wang Jiuzhi and suddenly smiled at herself, feeling very strange. She looked at Wang Jiuzhi in confusion, but her father kept smiling at her.
"Thought of it!" Ruixue clapped her hands and jumped. She almost forgot that Shang Kesheng had to make a snack similar to a snail stone.
Chen Mao looked at Ruixue who jumped up strangely: "What did you think of?" ”
Rui Xue hurriedly put away her hands and feet, and said, "I...... I ......" she looked at Wang Jiuzhi as if she was begging for help, and if her father didn't help, she would leak the stuffing.
Wang Jiuzhi cleared his throat. After attracting Chen Mao's attention, he picked up the bowl and said very calmly: "You two have to do it well, as long as you do it on weekdays." Let's eat. ”
Chen Mao got up from his nervousness: "Master Wang, what kind of dishes were you going to make?" What materials do I want to buy? I only have the best eight treasure tofu and swallow bamboo shoots side dishes now. Go to the Governor's Mansion to make a big dish, is it okay to have eight treasure tofu? Wouldn't it be too simple. How about squirrel carp, squirrel carp? When I was an apprentice in the Retranslation Building, I saw Master Gao making squirrel carp, and many foreign seasons respect this dish, and this dish is the most on the table. But I haven't practiced the chrysanthemum knife well enough. ”
Chen Mao couldn't help but feel annoyed, he knew that he would practice the chrysanthemum knife well. Why didn't Master Wang tell himself earlier, then he would work harder and harder.
"Don't be in such a hurry to decide, you can just go there and pick it."
Chen Mao didn't listen at all now. Thinking about the dishes I have learned in the past few days, think about which dish is most suitable for the scene of the Caoyun Governor's Palace. Squirrel carp, only squirrel carp.
Squirrel carp is the best to eat wine until the end. The squirrel carp so decided.

"Hat, why are you here? Ruixue, where is Master Wang? In the kitchen of the Governor's Palace, Rui Xue and Chen Mao finally found the cooks in the Minle Building.
It's really not easy to find someone, the back door of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion is crowded, and you can only come in if you take the post, and a master can only bring one apprentice. Many of the apprentices were left outside, whining quietly.
Looking at them all dressed brightly, you can know how much they are looking forward to today. Chen Mao remembered the first time he came to the Governor's Mansion with Master Gao for a banquet, and he looked forward to it for more than half a month, looking forward to wearing good clothes and seeing the world with the master.
"Dad asked Brother Chen to do it for him." Rui Xue looked at the people in the courtyard and couldn't help but smack her tongue, "Master Zhou, are these all cooks?" "The Hallomy performance attracts so many people. Are there so many cooks in Nanjing?
Zhou Qingan couldn't understand for a while. What a great honor is it to perform on the Halloween Festival, Wang Jiuzhi actually gave it to a kid? He couldn't understand it. If it was said that he didn't care about the imperial chef Feng Wanfu a few days ago, it was Wang Jiuzhi's confidence in his cooking skills, but today is a performance for the Wanshou Festival, isn't the highest evaluation of these chefs that they can let their dishes be tasted by Banzai? He just gave the opportunity to someone else? Does he really not care at all?
"Master Zhou. Why so many people? What is the feast today? Chen Mao couldn't understand why Zhou Qing'an's expression was so surprised at this time, incredible. He was just surprised that there were so many people, what a big banquet it was, and there would be so many people.
"Uh-oh." Zhou Qingan became more and more incomprehensible, Chen Mao didn't know what he was going to do today? He couldn't help but be extremely surprised by Wang Jiuzhi's abrupt decision. He actually dared to call such a big thing to an apprentice, and he was not afraid of accidents?
Zhou Qingan saw that Rui Xue had been waving his hand to himself, although he didn't understand what it meant, but he thought that Wang Jiuzhi had his reason for not pointing to Chen Maodao, so he smiled and said: "Your Excellency the Governor wants to summarize all the delicacies in Nanjing City and write a food notebook." ”
Chen Mao nodded.
Watching the people coming and going in the courtyard, watching the little guy in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion carrying a basket of ingredients into the courtyard. How many people are to be invited to the governor's palace, and so many materials are to be used. His eyes were on the carp, which was very fresh, and he would be sure to choose it later.
He found a few saury and anchovies, but they were fresh. Even this is there! It seems that the guests of the Governor's Palace must be quite a small one today. With such a big scene, Master Wang can still rest assured that he can hand it over to himself, and he can trust him so much that he can do it well, he must do it well. You must not lose face to Master Wang.
He kept rubbing his hands, he must do it well, a hundred years later, people can still know that they have made such a dish through books, wouldn't it be better?
"What are you going to do today? Make fish? Zhou Qingan asked casually, this kid kept staring at the fish basin carried by others.
Chen Mao smiled embarrassedly: "Yes." I'm going to make squirrel carp. ”
Zhou Qing'an's face sank, and he said in embarrassment: "I said you better change it." ”
"Huh?" Chen Mao didn't understand why Zhou Qingan asked him to change his dish, "What to change?" Master Wang said let me listen to Master Zhou. ”
Zhou Qingan only thought Chen Mao's words were funny: "What's the use of you listening to me, you have to be what you are best at." ”
Chen Mao said embarrassedly: "Squirrel carp is better, sweet and sour, very refreshing." ”
Zhou Qingan wanted to persuade him again, but the chief steward over there had already come, and all the cooks were silent.
"Those who make cold dishes, the cold dish master is the number of days; Hot dish master number and Xuan number; Other lot sizes. "Under the assignment of the steward of the Caoyun Governor's Palace, the cooks were divided into four courtyards.
Rui Xue, Chen Mao, Zhou Qing'an and several other cooks who cooked hot dishes in Lemin Building followed the servants to their own courtyard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have the most people who cook hot dishes. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are the best here, the duck is here, and the fish is here...... I'll get what you want in a minute. You please. ”
The servant divided the hot dish chef into several pieces and invited them in one by one.
As soon as Chen Mao entered the courtyard, he was slapped heavily on the shoulder, and before he could turn his head, he heard Rui Xue screaming: "Be careful." ”
Before his body could react, a huge force behind him knocked him to the ground.
"You!"
"Yo! Chen Mao, it's you! I didn't see you. The man turned around with a smile and beckoned to the people around him, "Alas, look, Chen Mao is here." ”
The man stretched out his hand to pull Chen Mao up.
Chen Mao ignored it, clapped his hands, and got up by himself.
Rui Xue recognized that the man was the apprentice of the Heavy Translation Building that she had met in Shensongju, and she had just seen that the man had deliberately knocked Chen Mao to the ground. She took Chen Mao's hands and checked them to see if he was injured.
Several brightly dressed people immediately surrounded them, and greeted Chen Mao with a smile: "Chen Mao, where did this girl come from?" Where are you kid leaving, and bring your daughter-in-law with you! ”
The man also ran to a cook and said in a loud voice, "Master, you see that Chen Mao is also here." ”
