Chapter 184: The Contest Begins

For a time, the warbler and the swallow were not lively. Most of the people are saying that the little lady is not good, and some are talking in a low voice, and the aunt is a little unkind.

However, he didn't dare to say it, so he was sent back by the people next to him.

The aunt who was guarding them, when she heard everyone's discussions, couldn't help but look like a general face, and said loudly: "Look at what to see, take care of your own affairs, and after receiving the ingredients, they are all waiting over there." Wait for the gong to blow and get ready to start the game. ”

The other girls went in one after another, and the little lady who was late suddenly burst into tears.

Shen An'an walked at the back, and when she saw that everyone else had entered, she quietly walked up to the aunt who took them to collect the ingredients.

"This aunt is polite, can you take a step to speak?"

That aunt is also a discerning person, and when she saw that Shen Anan wanted to talk to her, and her clothes and conversation were very extraordinary, she was very polite to her.

The aunt couldn't help but glance at her, "Miss Shen, what are you looking for me?" ”

Everyone who participates in the contest has a piece of silk cloth on their clothes with each person's number and name written on it. This is similar to some modern tournament formats. This makes it easy to identify the contestants and their numbers at a glance.

Shen An'an blessed the aunt, and then said: "The little woman dared to ask for a favor for that girl, and asked her aunt to give her accommodation, it seems that she really wants to participate, and she didn't mean to do this." This little meaning is to drink some tea for a few aunts. After Shen An'an finished speaking, he immediately stuffed ten taels of silver into the aunt's hand.

When the aunt saw that it was ten taels of silver, her eyes lit up, and she stuffed the silver into her sleeve without a trace.

Then he glanced at her meaningfully and said, "Miss Shen is really kind-hearted, at your age, there are really not many people with such a heart." Since it was Miss Shen who opened her mouth to plead, then I will dare to give you a face. ”

Shen An'an suddenly smiled, "Thank you, aunt, for making it happen." ”

Aunt Runa then walked towards the door and whispered to the other two. The two aunts must have listened to Ruxin's words, and they dared to glance at Shen An'an in unison.

"What's your name?" Aunt Ruxin looked at the woman kneeling on the ground.

"The little girl's name is Du Sanniang." Du Sanniang still lowered her head, kneeling on the ground with only a small lump.

At first glance, the family conditions are not good, probably because they want to rely on this competition to make a good carp jump over the dragon gate.

"Go ahead, this time it's Miss Shen who asked for you, you have to behave well, don't let people down."

Du Sanniang immediately glanced up at Shen An'an, who had already turned around and went to the competition venue with the ingredients.

Du Sanniang immediately thanked Ling, she thought she was hopeless, but she was helped by Shen An'an, and they really let her in. She couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thought she was dreaming.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and choose the ingredients."

"Thank you, auntie, aunt's great kindness, Sanniang is unforgettable." After Du Sanniang kowtowed, she immediately took the dustpan and went to choose the ingredients.

Because she was the last one, many good ingredients were selected, and she didn't choose a few, so she hurried to the competition site.

Ruxin and several other aunts couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, because Shen An'an's ten taels of silver were not worth it.

"Don't hurry up, rub something." After Du Sanniang entered, she was told by the examiner who looked like a pedant.

The other candidates were also very dissatisfied with her because she had delayed everyone's time.

Coincidentally, Du Sanniang's position was very close to Shen An'an.

Du Sanniang didn't dare to speak, so she could only thank Shen An'an with her eyes, and Shen An'an smiled at her.

After the gong sounded, everyone started.

"The triennial Mid-Autumn Festival and 15th moon cake competition officially began, limited to two hours, from the variety, appearance, taste and other aspects, a comprehensive review. The final winner is the final word. ”

"Bang, let's go!"

After the two deafening gongs and drums sounded, everyone began to record in their hands.

Most of the people were busy making faces. Shen Anan is the opposite of everyone, she makes the stuffing first, and it is from difficult to simple.

Shen Anan didn't want to prepare too much of the filling, and she tried not to repeat it with everyone, otherwise at that time, those examiners would taste too much of the same taste, and there would be a sense of greasy.

Shen Anan decided to make a total of three or four kinds of fillings this time, and he mainly used two kinds of fillings, and the other two were auxiliary.

As for the people here, what kind of fillings they like to eat, Shen Anan also inquired clearly, and most of them are sweet. There are also people who like to eat salty, but there are not many of them.

Therefore, she will position the main moon cake in, one is a milk ice filled moon cake, and the other is an egg yolk meat filled moon cake. One is ice and fire, and the other combines the aroma of egg yolk with the umami of meat.

Time flies very quickly, and in live competitions, there are many people who are halfway through and don't know how to do it, and some are in a hurry.

Because Aunt Ruxin got Shen An'an's silver, she also paid special attention to her and that Du Sanniang.

Immediately, she found that these two little ladies were different from others. The style of the two of them is very similar, they are both slow and methodical, bow their heads to do what they have in their hands, and never look at what others do.

After Shen An'an finished cooking, egg yolk meat filling, five-kernel filling, and acacia moon cakes, when the three moon cakes were sent to a special stove for baking, she set up the oil pot here and prepared to make milk ice filling moon cakes.

"Oh, that's a pity." Shen Anan couldn't help but sigh while heating the oil.

She originally muttered this in a low voice, but she didn't expect to be heard.

The old pedant examiner on the side had actually observed Shen An'an for a long time. Because looking at the ten candidates in the entire field, only she was the most calm. And the moon cake patterns she made are also very beautiful.

Seeing her set up the oil pot, she seemed to want to do something, but she couldn't help but sigh.

The examiner couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but walk over to her. "No. 10 Miss Shen, why are you sighing, is it because the mooncakes have not been made?"

Shen Anan shook his head and said no.

"Why is that?"

"That's because the mooncakes I make need to be freshly made and eaten to experience the taste. If I do it now, it will taste the same after it cools down for a while. ”

The examiner couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that you want to fry it in oil?" ”

"Exactly."

After Shen Anan finished speaking, the candidates next to her threw curious glances at her. The old pedantic examiner, who didn't know that his brain was wrong, went out in such a hurry.

After a while, he came back and said to Shen An'an: "Because the moon cakes you make are special, you are allowed to wait for your turn to make them, and the other moon cakes must be stopped after the gong starts." ”

After listening to the examiner's words, others couldn't help but start talking.

"Why, isn't she a foul? Obviously said that it was good, everyone treated it equally, why did she make it special. A woman in a green shirt couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction.

"yes, then we can extend it too."

The old pedant examiner listened to the discussion of the people next to him, and his face couldn't help but show a slight look of sorrow. The urn said angrily: "If there are other people, there are also special methods, you can put them forward." If not, follow the rules. ”

Now no one has raised any objections.

"Bang dang!" As the gong sounded again, all ten players stopped what they were doing.

"Okay, when the time comes, please put down the things in your hands and prepare the moon cakes."

The oil that Shen An'an had put in the hot pan had been boiling for a long time, and she turned the heat to a lesser level. The other three mooncakes have been made golden brown, and after taking them off the oven, there is a fragrance in them, and the color of her mooncakes is particularly bright, which looks very appetizing.

"Okay, please divide the moon cakes in front of you into ten small portions, and put each one on the plate in front of you and wait for the examiners to taste it.

At this time, the large screen in the middle of the examination room was all removed. Suddenly, thirty candidates were all on one field.

Because they are more curious about other people, most people look here and there.

Shen Anan knew that he was about to try it, so he unhurriedly began to heat up the ice filling mooncakes he made.

Because the mooncake itself is cooked, she only needs to fry the skin of the mooncake for two minutes, and then she can scoop it up. Then put it in ice and chill it for a minute, and the taste is very different.

Shen An'an did experiments at home on this ice-filled mooncake, and she made it again today, and she made it even more carefully. In addition, she also added some milk to the mooncakes today, and the taste was very good.

There were ten examiners in total, and when they came in, they were all dressed in robes and had serious expressions. Among them, there are two women, one is in her thirties, with a melon seed face, her appearance is acceptable, she wears plain white clothes, and her jewelry is very simple, and her expression looks very kind. Another woman, wearing a long purple dress with a corseted body, a floor-mopping robe and a lot of gold hairpins on her head, looked much more serious.

Shen Anan didn't know why, as soon as he saw the woman in the plain white dress, he had a little more affection for her.

Because her temperament is very elegant, when she walks, there is hardly any sound.

Maybe Shen Anan also wants to make herself an elegant person, so he pays more attention to her.

She watched carefully as she tasted other people's mooncakes.

What she didn't expect was that this woman would be her teacher Luo Fei in Shi Fangxuan, and she was also the first person she respected very much in this world. In the days that followed, they got along like mother and daughter and had many good times.

I don't know if it's telepathy, Shen Anan thinks that the woman in plain white clothes will ask him questions. After the other examiners tasted the mooncakes she made, they all ate them one by one, and after eating, they didn't speak, which made Shen An'an a little disappointed.

"What is this?" Luo Fei really stopped, and became interested in Shen An'an's mold that was forcibly separated into several lattices. Here she puts ice stuffed mooncakes.
