)

The lotus leaf, which has been steamed by the heat, has lost its green and blue color, and it is unveiled little by little, and the original faint fragrance is finally overflowing when the lotus leaf is completely revealed. The indescribable smell of meat makes people near and far can't help but look back.

"It's so fragrant...... a chef closest to Lin Zhenniang exhaled in a low voice, looked at Lin Zhenniang, shrugged his nose, and said strangely: "It's strange, this seems to have the taste of seafood, the taste of pork belly, and the ...... of ham" frowned, he thought twice, but he didn't say what was in the whole tangy fragrance.

Lin Zhenniang didn't look at others, but slowly opened the sealed lid. As soon as the lid was opened, the smell of meat could no longer be covered. Not to mention the people on the field, even the onlookers couldn't help but stretch their necks to see what was going on.

"What are you doing? It's so fragrant - I've never smelled such a fragrant dish in my life......" The speaker wiped his chin and was already drooling.

After laying out the chopsticks, she saluted slightly, but she held the jar and retreated.

Zhao Gongzi looked at Lin Zhenniang, his eyes flashed slightly, but he turned around and walked to Lin Zhenniang's table.

Seeing Zhao Gongzi move from his desk, Hu Hua's face immediately changed. Looking up, he looked at the second official of the martial arts, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but the second official of the military didn't look at him at all, just followed behind Zhao Gongzi like that, and also turned the table.

Thinking that he knew Hu Hua, the old man raised his chopsticks, reached out and took a bite of the dish, and praised after taking a bite: "Master Hu's craftsmanship has not changed at all, this fairy duck is still so delicious." ”

Fairy duck is a very famous dish in Confucian cuisine, which is made by removing the bones of the duck, seasoning it and putting it into a casserole, covering it with rice paper, and steaming it in a basket. It is said that the production time of this dish is extremely particular, and when making this dish, the master chef will light the incense and time it, and the three pillars of incense will be burned, and the dish will be completed.

Like the longevity duck soup on the table, roast suckling pig, four pieces of bird's nest, and white chop wings, they are all Hu Hua's specialties, and they are also Hu Huaneng's reliance on Jinan's fame.

However, now Hu Hua listened to the praise but was not half happy. just gave a few modest words, but his face was always tense.

The old man didn't say much, but after tasting a bite of the same dish, he walked forward again, and stopped at Du Wencheng's table, standing side by side with the young scribe.

"This dish of grilled raw shell abalone is extremely fresh." The young scribe turned around and made a gesture of invitation with a smile, "Elder Wang, this superb abalone is not common. ”

Du Wencheng smiled and said lightly: "Elder Wang, what I did today is a seafood banquet." In addition to this abalone, there are crab roe shark fin, eight fresh across the sea, jade shrimp, chrysanthemum shrimp bun, Wang Lao can try it, these are the best fresh things, other people can't buy them. ”

Wang Lao smiled, and sure enough, he tasted it when he raised his chopsticks.

Hu Hua at the other end looked at Du Wencheng and Wang Laoyou talking and laughing, his face turned blue, his eyes were fixed all the time, and he could see clearly how many chopsticks they moved.

"Little lady Lin, what are you doing here?"

Lin Zhenniang stepped aside, although she saw Zhao Gongzi turn around, she didn't greet him before, and waited until he opened her mouth before she smiled and stepped forward to salute.

didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to actually know Lin Zhenniang, and the military officials who came over glanced at Lin Zhenniang in surprise, but did not speak.

"Zhao Gongzi, this dish is called 'Fu Shouquan', also known as 'Buddha jumping over the wall'." Lin Zhenniang smiled and raised her hand, "Son, please sit!" ”

Ten tables were slipped, and chairs were set up at each table, but none of the judges had ever sat at any table.

Zhao Gongzi glanced at Lin Zhenniang, smiled, and really sat down according to her wishes. When he sat down, it was difficult for the second official to stand anymore, so he naturally sat down. With these two people seated, the other judges naturally turned around.

"How can this dish be called 'Buddha jumping over the wall'?"

Zhao Gongzi also ignored the few judges who gradually gathered because of him, and only asked about this dish with a smile.

Lin Zhenniang was not afraid of the scene, and while diligently arranging dishes for several judges, she asked: "Childe thinks this dish is fragrant?" ”

After Zhao Gongzi nodded, she smiled and said, "It is said that the first master to make this dish is a temple next door to his house." When he made this dish, the fragrance was overflowing, and even the monk next door dropped the wooden fish and ran over. Therefore, the chef gave this dish the name 'Buddha jumping over the wall'. ”

A little story that made several judges laugh. Laughing, the chopsticks moved.

That Wang Lao is a glutton, and if he eats the same, he can report the same ingredients. And although Zhao Gongzi didn't report it like him, he clearly tasted what was put in this dish.

Lin Zhenniang didn't say much else, just like a hospitable hostess, from time to time she would have a few cloth dishes, but she was sandwiched with those few vegetarian dishes.

Wang Lao raised his head, looked at Lin Zhenniang, and asked calmly: "Little lady, is it only this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' that you are good at?" Didn't you say before that you should let the chefs make their own specialties? Could it be that you're good at these bland and tasteless vegetarian dishes? ”

was questioned like this, Lin Zhenniang was not angry, but smiled: "The taste is natural and light, isn't it in line with the way of health preservation?" Moreover, today's topic is not 'specialty', but 'seat'. Since it is a banquet noodle, it is natural not to consider one or two dishes, but to consider the feeling of the guests eating the whole meal. Although you can have a table full of your own specialties, if it is all meat dishes, then diners will inevitably feel too bored. Mr. can see that this dish of radish is made of white radish, although its taste is light, it can relieve greasy and appetizing, so that diners can better taste the main dish. This is like a doctor prescribing medicine, with the assistance of the monarch and the minister, and there can be no mistake in the slightest......"

"I just asked, and the little lady said so much......" Wang Lao smiled, although it seemed to be reproachful, but his face was always smiling.

The other judges didn't ask half a word, just smiled and tasted the dishes on the table, not to mention the Buddha jumping over the wall, and even ate a few vegetarian dishes.

"Little lady?" The young scribe smiled and pointed to the jar at Lin Zhenniang's feet, "Is there still there?" Why don't you add more? ”

Lin Zhenniang smiled, but didn't go to take the jar, "No matter how delicious things are, if you eat too much, you won't feel delicious." Sir, if you want to eat, come back when the little woman's restaurant opens! ”

"Yo, this is still here to solicit customers......" he said with a smile, but his eyes turned to Zhao Gongzi, "I'm afraid you won't want to open a restaurant in the future......"

Zhao Gongzi's eyes flashed slightly, but he just asked with a smile: "Isn't Brother An also here?" ”

"Exactly," Lin Zhenniang responded generously, "The ingredients for this dish are too rare, I have selfishly left some to my family, don't blame you." ”

When several people heard this, they immediately laughed, looked at Lin Zhenniang, and felt more and more that this little lady was interesting, where could she really blame her?

Hu Hua was already standing beside Du Wencheng at this time, and the two looked at Lin Zhenniang together, their faces solemn.

"Brother Du, look at that Zhao Gongzi......"

Waving his hand, Du Wencheng sighed in a low voice, "It seems that our brothers are making wedding clothes for others this time......"

"It's just a little girl, how can her skills be higher than you and me?" Hu Hua complained indignantly, but was stopped by Du Wencheng and did not let him come forward.

"What she beats you and me is not in her craft, but in her heart."

As soon as Du Wencheng said this, Hu Hua also fell silent.

They only think about making the best dishes, but they forget the way that kings and ministers complement each other. This was not the fault of a master like them, but in order to show his mastery in front of that son, he lost his heart.

sighed, Hu Hua was remorseful and angry, but he was helpless. At this stage of the competition, they don't need to say that the judges know the result. It's just that in the end, it's hard to settle.

After the event, she received the bonus and received the plaque of the 'Jinan Chef King', Lin Zhenniang was proud of the spring breeze, and the scenery was victorious, and she was directly taken to the first floor of Jinan to have a celebration banquet.

When her restaurant opened, that plaque was hung, how many people were recruited?!

Lin Zhenniang just thought about it, and she couldn't stop laughing. I have long been muttering about the recipes after the opening of the restaurant.

"Little lady Lin?" I don't know when, but the second official turned to her.

Hurriedly smiled, Lin Zhenniang put down her expression, although she was polite, but she couldn't tell what the second official of the martial arts family was doing when she came to her? This martial artist is a little ......

"Little lady, don't panic," Wu Erguan smiled and said lightly: "We are all fellow Dingtao villagers, and we have anything to say." Although my fifth brother and you may have had some misunderstandings before, but the matter has been revealed, so why bother talking about it? ”

Is this a pre-release suspicion?

Lin Zhenniang blinked, but her heart was relieved.

"Little lady, I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship yet-a great future is in front of you, but you're going to make a big difference......" Wu Erguan smiled, leaning down slightly, "When you enter Beijing, don't forget my fellow countryman." ”

Lin Zhenniang was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows, and was a little at a loss.

What to enter Beijing?

It seems to be a very important thing to let the second official of the martial family come to show favor like this.

"When did I say I wanted to enter Beijing?"

"Hey, don't you know, little lady?". Wu Erguan laughed, "Don't you know that this cooking competition was originally held because Zhao Gongzi wanted to choose a chef to bring into Beijing?" ”。

For Zhao Gongzi? Performers?

Lin Zhenniang looked at Wu Erguan stupidly, remembering her and An Ronghe's guess before.

"It's difficult, is it to be an imperial chef?"

Wu Erguan was stunned, "It turns out that the little lady knows the identity of Zhao Gongzi?" After a pause, he said lightly: "Although Zhao Gongzi didn't say it clearly, he would not be far from ten if he wanted to, or he wouldn't have to go through it himself." ”

The Son? Then it's really royal?!

Lin Zhenniang licked her lips, and couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat for a while.

Can she be an imperial chef?! This is going to be a special chef in the next generation, right?! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
