Lin Xiaozhu and the others looked in the direction pointed by Ma Jiaoxi, and found that Steward Qin, with Li Weizhu and Zhang Hu, had carried a table and placed it there at some point, and there was a plate on the table; Another table has just been placed with five sets of study and four treasures.
There were more than 20 small plates on the table, and Yu Jiaoxi stood there, ordering a few plates at random, allowing the candidates to taste them, and writing down the numbers and handing them in on a piece of paper. Those who finished the exam did not leave immediately, but were quarantined in another place and warned not to speak out. Those who did not take the test stood far away, and could not see or hear the number recited by Yu Jiaoxi.
Everyone followed, and under the command of Ma Jiaoxi, they lined up in five teams, waiting for the exam. As soon as Yuan Cheng saw that the number of applicants for the first and fourth classes had been decided, he began to arrange for other classes to register for the exam.
"Lin Xiaozhu, what is this going to do?" Zhou Yuchun followed Lin Xiaozhu and Su Xiaoshu, and also lined up behind the team. She looked at the table full of saucers and jars, and her heart was pounding. Just now at the fourth class of Zhou Jiaoxi, just look at the face, let me walk a few steps, say a few words, and then decide whether to admit or not. Where is there a skills test like this in a class? Although she used to cook at home, she had never been exposed to any seasonings except for oil and salt, and she really had no bottom in her heart.
Lin Xiaozhu looked at Wu Caiyun behind Zhou Yuchun, and saw Zhou Ni and the two girls in their bedroom also walking over here, frowned slightly, turned his face to Zhou Yuchun and smiled: "Didn't Ma Jiaoxi say it?" You just write down what you taste. It's not difficult, don't be nervous. β
"That's all?" Somehow. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu's calm appearance, Zhou Yuchun's tense heart was also relaxed.
"Lin Xiaozhu, there are two more people to you." Su Xiaoshu said softly in the back.
"Hmm." Lin Xiaozhu smiled at her.
For Su Xiaoshu to follow him, Lin Xiaozhu's feelings are very complicated. It's a wonderful feeling between people, for example, some people are really good people, but you and their personalities may not be compatible. And between her and Su Xiaoshu, it can be said that she is the most compatible one. Both of them have hearty and sharp personalities, and they are extremely compatible in many aspects. And Su Xiaoshu is really good to her, during this time she was fetching water from Yuan Tianye, and her arms were so tired every day that she was sore. Su Xiaoshu always helped her wash her clothes without saying a word, and even helped her pick up firewood every day. is considerate and caring, so that Lin Xiaozhu unconsciously treats her as her own sister. So if you enter the cooking class, you can be with Su Xiaoshu. She was very happy. But Su Xiaoshu's identity is unknown, if she is really sent by Yuan Tianye, there is always someone by your side to monitor you. Your every move will be reported to Yuan Tianye by her, how can this make people comfortable?
Wu Pingqiang and Xia Shan also came to take the exam. The two of them were at the front of the other two teams and were the first to play. After Wu Pingqiang passed the exam, he stood aside with confidence; And Summerhill is as cool as ever. There was no expression on his face, and I really couldn't tell how well he did in the exam.
"Lin Xiaozhu. Soon, it's your turn. Seeing that the person in front of him had finished the exam, Zhou Yuchun pushed Lin Xiaozhu.
"Oh." Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly stepped forward.
Ma Jiaoxi doesn't seem to like girls very much, and thinks that Gongzi's promise to let girls take the cooking class is pure nonsense. So looking at their group of girls, their faces were full of unhappiness. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu stepping forward for the exam, he stepped forward in person, pointed to the five dishes of seasoning, and said, "Five, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, twenty, just these few plates." β
Yu Jiaoxi looked at the plate that Ma Jiaoxi was referring to. There was something strange about his complexion. These dishes of seasoning have the most complex taste, but they are not just salty and sour. can be described. Every candidate who takes the exam will only give him one such problem. But now. Isn't it embarrassing to put these difficult questions together to test a candidate? Even if girls are not suitable for learning to cook, but since Childe has spoken, he has his own reasons. As long as you don't treat everyone equally, why set the bar high?
He raised his head and carefully examined a forest of bamboos. I saw that the girl was thin and small, and looked like she was not yet twelve years old. But the skin is fair and clean, the big eyes are black and bright, the nose bridge is straight, the small mouth is red, and the face has some baby fat, which is extremely beautiful and cute. However, there are no girls in the group selected by Childe who are not beautiful and neat, and it is not unusual for them to be pretty. But this girl has a completely different temperament from others. Quiet and calm but not lacking in agility, clear eyes but not lacking in cunning, people know at a glance that it is a good seedling.
Yu Jiaoxi has lived for more than 50 years, and he has trained a group of cooks every two or three years, and he has already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes. Which people are elm wood that cannot be carved, and which people are malleable talents, he thinks he can see the best without leaving ten. The little girl in front of her, although there are still some unsatisfactory points, but this smart and intelligent is rare. It would be a shame if I couldn't take in as an apprentice.
But why, Ma Jiaoxi has to embarrass her like this? Could it be that she offended Ma Jiaoxi? Isn't Ma Jiaoxi the kind of narrow-minded person who likes to take revenge?
Lin Xiaozhu saw the five plates ordered by Ma Jiaoxi, raised his big eyes, and glanced at the tall and thin old man fixedly. Seeing that he didn't seem to be aware of it, he only cared about specifying sauce dishes for other candidates, so he lowered his eyes, took the five bamboo chopsticks handed to her by Yu Jiaoxi, and started his exam. Hmph, I want to be hard for her, dreaming! With the old man in front of him, are you still afraid of this kind of rubble?
"Count twenty sounds, write them down quickly after tasting, and stop writing for the last one. Those who do not listen to the order will be deemed to have given up the exam. Ma Jiaoxi saw that everyone had picked up the chopsticks, announced it, and counted it loudly.
Lin Xiaozhu calmly dipped the sauce one by one with chopsticks.
The first dish is bad oil. The so-called bad oil is to mix the sweet grains, sesame oil, peppercorns, and salt in a certain proportion, pack and tie them tightly with arrowroot cloth, put them in the urn, and put an empty bottle under the cloth bag. After a few months, the empty bottle was filled with oozing oil. The taste of this kind of bad oil is very sweet and delicious, it is salty, fragrant, sweet and fresh in one, and it is used to mix chicken feet, fish fillets, shrimps, etc., which is the most delicious.
The second disc. But it is mustard, that is, the salt brine left after pickling mustard greens. At that time, people liked to use this mustard brine to cook beans or dried radish, which tasted more beautiful and did not spoil after many years. This mustard is not something that can be described with just one salty word.
The third dish is fairy sauce, the fourth dish is glutinous rice sauce, and the fifth dish is soybean soy sauce.
The fairy sauce is made from peach leaves; The glutinous rice sauce is made of tempeh, pepper, Sichuan pepper, large and small fennel, and dried ginger; Soybean soy sauce is made from fermented adzuki beans and peeled oranges through multiple processes. Although these three sauces are salty due to the addition of salt, the difference between them cannot be described in a single word.
These were all things that the old man had tasted for her. I also told her in detail about the preparation of things, and it was too easy to write down their taste. Crossing is a big cheat of God, and now what does it matter if you cheat again? Look down on people, right? Makes people difficult, huh? This girl wants to get the best results. Let you people see!
After tasting it quickly, the other candidates were still frowning and contemplating, and Lin Xiaozhu walked to the table where the four treasures of the study were placed without hesitation. Pick up the pen and write. It takes a lot of time to write down these differences in flavor in the most accurate language, and you can't afford to delay a little if you want to be the best.
"Finished tasting?" Yu Jiaoxi saw Lin Xiaozhu flying like a chopstick. Then he threw down his chopsticks and went over there to write, and was slightly stunned for a moment. I was full of regret. If Lin Xiaozhu can taste it carefully, even if he just tastes the taste of a sauce saucer, he can help him talkβcan he taste the contents of this saucer, and other simple oil, salt, vinegar, and sugar, is it still a problem? But like she is now, she is just like a little bit of water, where can she say anything? All dishes have only one flavor, and that is salty!
Yu Jiaoxi shook his head regretfully, and was about to turn his head to quietly ask Ma Jiaoxi what was going on, but he was startled when he turned around. It turned out that Childe had quietly arrived here at some point. Lin Xiaozhu, who was standing behind them, looked at Lin Xiaozhu with angry writing, and seemed to be contemplating. I don't know what I'm thinking.
"Childe." Yu Jiaoxi hurriedly turned around and gave a light salute.
Yuan Tianye waved his hand at Yu Jiaoxi. waited for Ma Jiaoxi to finish counting twenty sounds, and Steward Qin went to collect the answer, then turned his gaze to Ma Jiaoxi, and asked, "Why?" The tone was still calm and gentle, but when he heard Yu Jiaoxi's ears, he was a little cold.
Ma Jiao Xi was originally the special cook of Yuan Tianye's father, and later invited himself out, followed Yuan Tianye, and helped him cultivate countless talents, with very old qualifications. So he was not afraid of Yuan Tianye, he only symbolically arched his hand, and said with an unhappy face: "Childe, you know, girls are not suitable for learning cooking at all. Since someone was clamoring to take the test, Lao Ma naturally didn't dare to disobey the son's order and didn't let them take the test. But how to take the test is Lao Ma's responsibility. And the exam questions did not go beyond this table, and I thought I had done nothing wrong. β
"Really?" Yuan Tianye chuckled, only looked at Ma Jiaoxi with his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
What is like a mang on the back, Ma Jiaoxi has not experienced it in Master Yuan, but he has experienced it now. He bowed a little unnaturally, kicked a bow, and said, "I don't dare to make the mistake just now, and I ask my son to forgive me." β
Yuan Tianye nodded lightly: "That's very good." "Although Ma Jiaoxi is a bit old, he has an upright personality and loyalty, and this kind of thing can only be pointed. Otherwise, it chills the hearts of a group of old subordinates.
Every time a batch of candidates has been examined, their answer sheets are read on the spot, and the good ones are picked out and the bad ones are eliminated, so that they can register elsewhere. Therefore, seeing that Yuan Tianye no longer pursued the matter of Ma Jiaoxi, Steward Qin submitted the answer sheet.
