Chapter 152: Test (3)
"Last year, it was Ning Gongzi of Ning Mansion who won the first place, and last time, it seems to be the Wang family of Hanoi, and our Li family is not counting on it." Li Xuan thought that he deliberately used words to provoke Li Sheng, and he would say something, but he didn't expect that he didn't say a word.
Shen Anan listened, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Ning?" But the son of the Ning Governor's Mansion in Taoyuan Town? β
"Yes, his archery skills are first-class, he wears through Yang in a hundred steps, and he looks like a talent." Li Xuan looked unsatisfied, and after speaking, he glanced at Shen Anan curiously and asked, "Why do you know him?" β
Shen Anan smiled faintly and replied, "There is only one side." β
Seeing Shen An'an's smiling face like a flower, Li Sheng suddenly turned around.
As soon as Shen An'an finished saying this, he suddenly felt that the low air pressure around him was heavier, and Li Sheng walked past him, and the gust of wind that fluttered with him was actually a bit biting cold.
Shen Anan couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said in his heart that the weather is changing so fast, the front is quite good, why did it become so cold after a while. With this in mind, she tightened her clothes.
Li Xuan and Li Youyou also chased after Li Sheng quickly. As he walked, he said to Shen An'an: "Miss Shen, it's up to you tonight, I don't eat much at noon, and I'll be a little hungry." β
Shen Anan saw that Li Xuanren was quite sincere, and his words were reliable, and his disgust for him was much lighter. couldn't help responding, "As long as the eldest young master doesn't dislike the little girl's poor cooking, it's fine." β
"I don't dare, I think it's good luck that I can taste your cooking today."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he didn't say much, and after catching up with Li Sheng, he said, "Second brother, I came to you for a drink today, you have to drink with me once." β
remembered that the last time the two of them drank together was probably when my grandmother had her birthday last year, and I was a little unhappy later.
In the blink of an eye, it was another year, and he acquiesced without speaking.
He said, "You go to Suiyue Court first and wait." β
"Okay." Li Xuan finally returned to his usual appearance, and he spoke with a bit of a flamboyant tongue.
"Let's go, You'er, let's eat delicious food tonight, let go of your stomach and eat."
Li Youyou frowned when he heard this and said, "What if I get fat?" My mother said that no one wants fat women. β
When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, he didn't expect this little sister of his to be so cute, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face. "How can it be, just eat it once, of course you won't get fat. And such a rare opportunity, when you see something delicious, you shouldn't stop eating it. β
"If that's the case, then I'll eat a little bit." This is a decision made by Li Youyou after struggling for a long time.

Shen Anan arrived in the back kitchen, and when he saw Master Chen, who was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, he realized that it was not only Li Xuan and Jiang Linglong who were in the house today, but he didn't expect that even Mrs. Li, Master Li and the eldest lady Yang were here. Originally, Shen Anan was not nervous, but after listening to Master Chen's words, he suddenly felt a little stressed.
"My little aunt, you are back, and I will wait for you today. Today you are in charge, and I will give you a hand. While the two were talking, the ingredients were still being served inside.
Seeing this, Shen Anan couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on? Is this a visit, or a test?
They had nothing to do to test her little girl.
"Master Chen, could it be a mistake? On weekdays, I just cook for my wife and young master, and let me do so much suddenly, I can't do it. β
"I can't care so much now, the young master has already agreed, and I'm waiting for you to show your hand outside."
"Come on, let's get started right away. You just burn it, and I'll take whatever you need. β
Master Chen will be so hot that he is sweating, obviously the weather is already a little cold at this time, but looking at Master Chen's appearance, it is no different from a hot day.
He took off the robe that was covering the outside, leaving a gown inside, the neckline open, revealing a reddish neck. Because he likes to drink, he must drink every day, and after a long time, even his neck is red.
The sleeves were still on his arms, and he looked like he was ready to do a big job.
Shen Anan glanced twice at the board, and saw that the dishes were dazzling and varied, and there were dozens of dishes alone.
"Master Chen, I really can't do it, if you mess up, you won't have to be unlucky."
Master Chen directly pushed Shen Anan to the stove.
"This is a special stove for you, originally intended to surprise you in two days. I can't say it, I'm going to have to come in handy today. β
Because of the problem of height and arm strength, Shen An'an's stove can't be too high, and the stoves here are all high, so she is fortunate to cook a few dishes on weekdays, and sometimes she makes hot pot shabu-shabu and the like.
Unexpectedly, many dishes today are stir-fried, which will kill her.
"I believe in your talent, you have the ingredients to be a natural cook, and you have a keen sense of smell, these are the basic conditions for being a good cook. I've eaten your food, and it tastes so unique. I think today is also a test for you, don't you want to know what kind of level your cooking skills are? β
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, on weekdays, I looked at Master Chen, who was happy and smiling like a Buddha, and he was dressed in water, it was a set.
Shen Anan almost believed his words, she still knew how many catties and taels she weighed.
It's just that they know some modern recipes, because they haven't eaten them, so when they eat them, they feel fresh.
There are so many dishes today, let her make them at once, and there are several dish names that she has heard for the first time. How does this work?
"Master Chen, I know what you said is reasonable, the key is that I haven't burned a lot of dishes, isn't this smashing our own signboard?"
"It's okay, I trust you, you won't burn, I'll tell you the way. You know, when others ask me to teach, I don't teach them. β
The implication of Master Chen's words is, little girl, do you know that you are lucky today.
Encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Can Shen Anan say that she wants to cry without tears now?
The meal she made today is not just as simple as cooking a meal, but it is related to the face of the Li family's second room, the face of everyone in the entire house. Of course, the most important thing is the face of that person. That person had the most temper, in case she messed up, Shen An'an felt nervous when he thought of that cold face.
"Master Chen, this is what you said, in case I burn up, you have to help me take care of it more."
Hey, Shen An'an really wants to go home, the outside world is too terrible.
The people on the Li family's big house, I heard that they are not easy to mess with, in case they have to pick out the bones from the eggs, she may not even know how she died.
Shen Anan felt that she had to give Master Chen a preventive injection first, in case she messed up, at least someone else would take the blame with her.
A person who carries a pot can be suffocated to death, but if someone shares it with her, at least she will not be suffocated to death if she has half a pot. Thinking of this, Shen Anan looked at Master Chen with very expectant eyes.
"Don't worry about this, you don't have to think about anything else, just cook the dishes, the dishes are done, and your task is completed."
Is that really the case?
Listening to Master Chen's tone, it seems that there is no trap blade or anything like that?
But she vaguely felt that things should not be so simple.
How can there be such a coincidence. On weekdays, people in the big house will not reach half a step into this house. Of course, except for the little Lori Li Youyou, the others were all heard of by Shen Anan for the first time.
Now that they're all here, it's not normal to think about it. Could it be that it is to see Jiang Linglong?
I heard that Jiang Linglong's father joined the army, and his brother is also a petty official, is it because of this relationship that the Li family holds Jiang Linglong?
Shen Anan hadn't figured it out yet, and saw Master Chen take out a piece of paper from the long desk next to him, and saw that the paper was full of dense writing. When Chef Chen gave her this piece of paper, he explained: "I have seen you make some dishes, a little more complicated, the cooking method and the seasoning of the side dishes, I have probably written them all on this, you should familiarize yourself with them first, and we will start later." β
Well, Shen Anan now belongs to catching ducks on the shelves, and if it doesn't work, it has to work.
Shen Anan carefully looked at the content written on the paper, and carefully memorized some special burning methods. In fact, after cooking for a long time, I have my own set of methods and theories for cooking by myself.
For example, how to deal with some special ingredients, those dishes, there are special cooking methods, Shen Anan probably has to figure it out.
I have to say that since she arrived at the Li Mansion, in the face of the kitchen where there is basically nothing lacking, Shen Anan has a feeling of being at home every time she researches a new dish.
The current situation is not only a challenge, but also a test of her cooking skills.
After Shen Anan was full of energy, he couldn't be sloppy at all.
"What are these two dishes?" Shen Anan saw that Chef Chen deliberately circled the names of the two dishes with a black pen, which seemed to have some special meaning.
Master Chen saw that Shen An'an had noticed this place. I also nodded secretly in my heart, I have to say that her observation is good, and she is also very concerned about details. "Sister An, these eighteen treasures and eight treasures hot sauce were specially ordered by Miss Jiang."
Jiang Linglong? She actually ordered food, and it seems that the Li family values her very much.
It stands to reason that Jiang Linglong is Li Sheng's cousin, and as a guest, she is not qualified to order food when she comes to the host's house, but she has this qualification.
I think it's because she is another layer of identity as Li Sheng's fiancΓ©e.
I don't know why, thinking of this, Shen Anan felt a little stuffy and a little uncomfortable.
As for why she felt this way, she couldn't tell herself.
Shen Anan spent about a stick of incense, looked at the recipe on the paper, and spent about a stick of incense to discuss the recipe of some dishes with Master Chen. For some dishes, she will not follow the rules drawn by Chef Chen, she will add her own concept of cooking.
Because she was afraid of making a mistake, she specially consulted Master Chen, but after Master Chen heard it, not only was she not unhappy, but said that she had a bright brain.
So she accepted those words of praise with an open mind.
