Chapter 138: Undercover Agent in Disguised Male Clothes (8)
There was no time to find out who the murderer was, there was no way to learn Tianxiang Yinya, Meng Hui was at a loss, she never thought that this time it was actually the easiest hidden task. worked in the back kitchen of Tianxianglou for three days in a row, and she was so comfortable that her whole soul was about to float, but nothing was done that should have been done.
She had the heart to ask Chef Fang if he had found anything, but the other party was too busy, and he seemed to be afraid that she would ask this question and that, so he always avoided her, and he couldn't catch anyone all the time. She told the second senior brother about buying fake crab roe buns in the hall, and the second senior brother ran to tell the master again, and the master and the shopkeeper stumbled for a while, discussing what no one knew.
Three days have passed, and the full house is still selling steamed buns. No one accused him of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but the business was getting better and better, attracting the poor people on the other side of Xijing City. Meng Hui also sneaked out to see it, the hair on the cheeks of the sharp-beaked monkey was smiling brightly, like a blooming chrysanthemum, obviously making a lot of money from this bun.
Although the guest house got three recipes, Mao Buba obviously didn't dare to take it out and use it at one time, and even this "crab" had to be changed to a bun before he dared to sell it. However, in Meng Hui's view, copying is copying, and covering a bun skin can't become his own thing.
In this dynasty that values private secret recipes, Mao Buba can be regarded as a disgrace to the chef's face.
"Zhao Runan is limited by the times and has to disguise herself as a man to make a living, he is really black-hearted, and what he thought of after finding out was to threaten people to go undercover and steal things! Fortunately, Zhao Runan gave him all ordinary vegetarian recipes within fifty years, otherwise it would be really cheap for him! ”
Meng Hui estimated that Zhao Runan was also upset, she actually cooked a lot of Tianxianglou dishes, but she didn't tell him any of them.
Zhao Runan admitted that he gave out the three recipes of "Race Crab", "Hibiscus Tofu Soup" and "Cuizhu Amber", except for the race crab, the other two dishes are new dishes developed by the master chef in the past 20 years.
The method of hibiscus tofu soup is complicated, the tofu must be soaked in well water to remove the beany smell, put it in the chicken soup to cook, and after the pot is cooked, you have to put the secret shrimp oil of Tianxianglou, and a white sauce made of I don't know what kind of fungus is used. It is said that it melts in the mouth, smooth and fresh and fragrant, and it is the best of the cheap dishes in Tianxianglou.
As for emerald pearl amber, its practical ingredients are simpler, but they are radishes and green onions. The chives should be evenly thick, green and oily, finely chopped and sprinkled on the spherical radish fired with secret ingredients. It looks like a small emerald bead falling on the amber, and it is very popular when you "eat radish in winter".
It's not that these dishes haven't been imitated by restaurants outside, but because there is no secret recipe, no one can make this taste because they can't figure out how many ingredients are used.
These two dishes are so eye-catching, everyone knows who the founder is, and it is difficult to sell the crabs in the competition. Zhao Runan must have also considered this, so he chose these two things from the recipe to deal with the matter.
Meng recalled the fake crab roe bun he ate a few days ago, it tasted good, but in addition to the lack of filling, he always felt that it was still a little bit worse, and it was estimated that it was not as delicious as the crab in Tianxianglou.
"Maybe Zhao Runan didn't reveal all the recipes, this kind of thing, as long as you hide a little bit of the key, the taste gap will be big." Especially for the gourmets who have eaten all over Xijing, you will know whether it is authentic or not.
"Could it be that Mao Bupluck found out that the recipe was incomplete, and it was really difficult to sell these two dishes, so he started the idea of buying fake crab meat buns to make some quick money?" Meng Hui felt that it was very possible, but she still couldn't figure out why this person was in a hurry to make quick money, and even ignored the reputation of the restaurant opened by three generations.
Meng Hui carried the bucket and put it down in the well for a while, the water was quickly filled, and she shook the wooden shaft to easily lift the water. While doing things, I thought about everything, and the whole day passed quickly. At dinner, Meng Hui realized that this was the fourth day of coming to this world, and she hadn't gotten any clues except for a diary!
"What do you think? Forgot to eat? Aunt Ma looked at her worriedly, and said earnestly, "You girl doesn't want to sign up for the competition, do you?" ”
"Huh? What contest? Meng Hui looked up at her in a daze.
Aunt Ma looked embarrassed, and said with a haha: "It's nothing, it's nothing, hurry up and eat, don't eat cold again!" ”
"Auntie!" Meng Hui hurriedly put down his chopsticks to grind her, "Tell me about it!" What exactly is the competition? ”
Aunt Ma's three daughters have long since left Xijing City to marry in other places, and for her, Xiaohui, who has grown up since she was a child, is no worse than her daughter, and every time she is so grinded, she can't do anything.
"Ouch, let go of my hands and eat well! Yesterday I went out on a trip, and I heard that there were several mothers and princesses in the palace, and I wanted to know what novelties and delicious things the people had, so I asked the emperor and the queen to be the masters, and I wanted to hold a contest in Xijing City. Say yes...... It is said that it is not limited to men and women, as long as you can make something fresh and delicious, you can try it. ”
Aunt Ma knew she was going to suffer as soon as she saw her face: "Oh, I'll just say I won't tell you!" Look at the look in your eyes! Do you want to go? Aunt Ma patted her on the shoulder and pretended to hit her, while crying out in pain, "Look at Runan!" Think of how she ended! Besides, even if the princesses like it and reward it, can the emperor still change the rules and laws for them for hundreds of years? ”
"Auntie, you don't know, I have to go!" If Meng Hui hadn't been forced by the task, she wouldn't have been willing to be in the limelight.
But if she didn't seize this opportunity to cook, she would never be able to make Master Chef and Chef Fang look down on her identity. If you can get the reward of the mother and the princess, you will have a status in Tianxianglou, and then you will propose to quietly learn Tianxiang Yinya and never spread it, it is better than mentioning it now.
"Ouch my heart, oh, I'm really convinced of my own mouth, it's okay to find something for myself!" Aunt Ma was so angry that she beat her chest, and when she thought of Zhao Runan, she couldn't help but want to shed tears, "What can you do, if you take the old path of Runan, what can I do!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm really just going to give it a try!" Meng Hui wanted to comfort Aunt Ma by guaranteeing that she would never be a cook, but she didn't know Xiaohui's thoughts, so she couldn't help her make a decision directly. "There are so many chefs participating in the competition, where can I get the blue eyes of nobles, you will let me go and gain knowledge."
Hearing this, Aunt Ma stopped beating her chest, burped, and said happily: "Yes, with your level, maybe you can brush it off in the first test!" Hey, then you go and try it, and see if there are any suitable young men if there are many people! ”
