Chapter 103: Fruit Smoothie

Lin Xiaomiao pointed to the jar, and she bothered to wash the mung beans and said, "The mung beans here are divided into two parts, and we will use mung beans as ingredients." Each cooks a meal and leaves it to the chef to judge. Which of you will compare with me? ”

The fat chef stepped forward, patted his chest, and glanced at Lin Xiaomiao with contempt, "Let me compare with you, so that you, the yellow-haired girl, know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!" ”

If you talk about it, you can't really do it! Lin Xiaomiao evened out two portions of mung beans, didn't look at him more, stood in front of the stove and began to process the ingredients in his hands.

It is rare for the kitchen to be so lively, and the idle cooks gathered behind Lin Xiaomiao and them to watch the competition with relish.

The fat chef snorted coldly, and like Lin Xiaomiao, he put water in the big iron pot and poured all the round mung beans into it.

This step is the same as the two of them, and others can't see it unusual.

Soon, the water in the cauldron boiled, and the mung beans were churning in it. The cook glanced at Lin Xiaomiao, but saw that she was calm and relaxed, so that people couldn't guess the food she wanted to make.

Mung beans are cool and relieve the heat, and it would be great to have a bowl of chilled mung bean porridge in summer. However, mung beans have a special taste and cannot be mixed with other ingredients, and adding too many ingredients into it will defeat its refreshing smell and taste.

Because of this, there are very few finished dishes that can be made with mung beans as an ingredient. The most common are porridge and pastries.

The fat chef is known for carving, so he simply served all the boiled mung beans. After filtering it with a white gauze mesh, it is crushed into a puree, and after adding white sugar, some milk and chopped yam puree are poured in, and after being kneaded and formed over and over again, it is waiting to be put into the mold.

"Master Han seems to have won steadily! Master Han's knife work is one of the best in the palace! A person standing behind Lin Xiaomiao said.

Another person chimed in: "Master Han can carve on eggshells, and the kung fu under his hands can be practiced in seventy-one days?" This girl is also overwhelmed! ”

Lin Xiaomiao stared at the lid of the pot quietly, observing the water vapor overflowing from it, not paying attention to what they said at all.

Seeing that the water vapor was getting louder and the rustling sound of mung beans tumbling was louder, Lin Xiaomiao opened the lid of the pot and stirred the mung beans with a shovel without delay.

Then the mung beans were also put out, and it took two or three hours to boil the mung beans, although the mung beans in the pot were cooked, they were far from being cooked, and the most essential fragrance of the mung beans was boiled.

At this time, mung beans are crushed with a rolling pin to make mung bean puree and made into mung bean cake, which will greatly reduce both taste and texture.

"What does she want to do? You don't want to learn from Master Han and make mung bean cakes, right? Behind the speculation, there was a lot of discussion.

Lin Xiaomiao looked at the chef and said, "Do you want to take some ice cubes and a few fresh melons and fruits?" ”

Her strange request sparked everyone's curiosity.

The chef was also curious about what kind of delicious food Lin Xiaomiao could make, so he asked the kitchen handyman to go to the cellar to get a whole piece of ice, and there were many vegetables and fruits in the summer palace.

The watermelons in the yard are as big as buckets, and the grapes are even more crystal agates when carefully cared for. After a while, all the ingredients that Lin Xiaomiao wanted were taken.

The chef who was originally around the fat chef and admired his carving skills suddenly surrounded Lin Xiaomiao. What kind of delicacy can be made with a bowl of green mung bean soup and ice cubes?

They speculated, but they still couldn't figure it out!

Lin Xiaomiao rolled up her sleeves in the midst of the discussion, the kitchen knife in her hand fell, and the ice cube was cut in half. Lin Xiaomiao picked up the unique kitchenware of Liyang Wangfu and shaved the ice cubes into fine ice foam.

After putting the ice foam into a small bowl, Lin Xiaomiao poured the cold mung bean soup on it, cut the watermelon into small pieces and put it on the crushed ice with the grapes.

At the end, she picked another mint leaf to decorate, and the cooked mung beans were left, Lin Xiaomiao was not willing to waste them, she asked the chef to find two potatoes.

Duanmu Heng is extremely particular about the word "eat", the palace is like a huge vegetable garden, only the fruits and vegetables you can't think of, as long as you can say the name, you can dig out the freshest from the geography like a trick!

Lin Xiaomiao washed the soil with her hands and feet, sliced the potatoes, fried them with a thin layer of grease, mixed the mung beans with sugar, and sandwiched them between the potato slices.

This way of eating is unheard of!

The two delicacies made by Lin Xiaomiao were both like they had never seen before! In contrast, it is the first mung bean paste ice red and green intertwined, the fragrance of mung beans and the fragrance of watermelon are intertwined, which makes people's appetite move!

After Lin Xiaomiao finished cooking, the fat chef's mung bean cake was also finished. The green lotus pattern is still carved on the mung bean cake, but it is more exquisite and complicated than what Lin Xiaomiao ate yesterday.

The tender green lotus leaves are lifelike, as if only the wind blows, it can move with the wind. Even Lin Xiaomiao had to admit that his carving skills were far inferior to his!

The carver put a lot of effort into it, in this hour, Lin Xiaomiao had already finished making two dishes, and there was only one mung bean cake in front of that Master Han.

"It seems that Master Han has won this time! Just looking at the dishes, Master Han's mung bean cake has already won! ”

After reading the dishes of the two people, the chef said: "Food is based on taste, carving is just the icing on the cake, only the taste is outstanding and special can catch the stomach of diners!" ”

"Chef is right!" The fat chef arched his hand, "Please taste my mung bean jade cake first!" ”

It is said that it is a jade cake, because he has improved the mung bean cake, and a small half of the yam is added to it, and the snow-white yam and the emerald green mung bean are fused together, white and green are intertwined, like a piece of jade.

"It's good!" The chef bowed slightly, and tasted the pastries he made first.

Lin Xiaomiao didn't stop it, just watched quietly.

The chef nodded again and again after taking a small sip, "The taste is not bad, but the mung beans are not soft and glutinous enough, and they lack a little bit of heat, and there are still shortcomings." ”

The chef, surnamed Han, had a little respect for the chef, and after listening to his comments, he did not refute it, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

When it was Lin Xiaomiao's turn, everyone opened their eyes and cheered up, listening to the chef's evaluation of the delicacies she made.

"This is ......" Looking at the two dishes in front of him, Rao is the chef has been cooking for many years, and he can't name him if he is well-informed.

Lin Xiaomiao smiled slightly and calmly introduced: "This one is called 'fruit smoothie', and the other is called 'potato sandwich'." Before the smoothie melts, the chef hurry up and try it. ”

"Smoothies? It's a fitting name, but it's the first time I've seen ice cubes that can be used like this! The chef smiled and then took the fruit smoothie with a small spoon and put it on the tip of his tongue.

After tasting it, his eyes suddenly widened.

Cool first and then sweet, the smoothie blends with the sweetness of mung bean soup and melts on the tip of the tongue, followed by sweet watermelon pulp and sweet and sour grape kernels, jumping in the mouth.

There is a refreshing coolness all over the body, and the summer heat is completely gone. This feeling can't be compared to drinking a hundred bowls of mung bean soup to relieve the heat!

Without waiting for Lin Xiaomiao to ask, those people all stepped forward and asked nervously, "Chef, how does it taste?" ”

Who knew that the chef just touched a handful of gray beards, avoided answering, and picked up the potato sandwich cake with chopsticks and continued to taste. The food is eaten again, and it is another strange flavor.

The fried potato slices are soft and delicate, with a slight burnt aroma, and the mung beans mixed with sugar are sweet but not greasy. Without paying attention, the chef unknowingly ate a whole sandwich cake!

Even the fat chef's face couldn't help but show a look of shock and curiosity. He couldn't believe that the mung bean and white jade cake he carefully made was lost to these two extremely inconspicuous dishes of this girl.

"Good!" After swallowing all the food in his mouth, the chef let out a sigh of admiration.

"This kind of ingredient combination is really unprecedented! Novel and unique, the taste is even more extraordinary, and the aftertaste is endless! ”

The chef has served in the palace for many years, and all the chefs present have never seen him so admired for who and what kind of dishes he has. At that moment, everyone looked at Lin Xiaomiao with a look of disbelief.

A teenage girl actually won over Chef Han!

Lin Xiaomiao had a shallow smile on her face from beginning to end, "In this way, I won!" ”

"No one should be a face! The old man understood this sentence exactly. The chef sighed, a hint of shame on his face.

In fact, she is also unfair, you must know that her profession before crossing over was a chef, and she has seen many more ingredients and knows much more cooking techniques than the ancients.

At that moment, Lin Xiaomiao said humbly: "Chef, you are too awarded!" There was no pride on his face.

He has all kinds of pastries, how could he lose to her? The fat head cook pushed everyone away, walked up to Lin Xiaomiao menacingly, picked up the spoon unceremoniously and said, "I want to taste it, how good you are!" ”

After tasting a fruit smoothie, the surnamed Han was stunned. The ice water is tasteless, but when the finely chopped smoothie is mixed with the mung bean soup, it is surprisingly refreshing and cold. Coupled with the harmony of fruits, the whole person is like being in a shady orchard, and the pores from head to toe are stretched......

After tasting the fruit smoothie, the fat chef's hand did not fall for a long time, and he had already lost this dessert alone, and he had no face to taste the second snack.

"With which master did you learn such a craft?" The fat cook asked unwillingly.

Lin Xiaomiao shook her head, "With the spirit of a foodie, it's just a matter of thinking about it." If you want to learn, I can teach you if you promise to keep me in the kitchen. ”

"This ...... Is that really good? The head chef asked.

You must know that in ancient times, every ability of the body was an exclusive secret skill, and it was rarely taught to others. Unless we recruit a wide range of disciples, we will select one or two with outstanding qualifications and pass on the skills so as not to lose them.
