After speaking, Cheng Ze got up and walked quickly towards the door, "Hurry up, hurry up", passing by Xiao Liuzi, Cheng Ze patted him with a paper fan and told him to get up.

The two of them came out of the antechamber and walked all the way to the backyard, "What's the situation?" Cheng Ze didn't believe what Xiao Liuzi said in the front hall just now, and asked about the situation as soon as he came out.

Xiao Liuzi couldn't hold it back any longer, and kept telling Cheng Ze what happened in the back kitchen just now, and he didn't even hide the gambling contract, as if he wanted to participate in it.

When Cheng Ze arrived at the back kitchen, the kitchen door was already full of people, including the subordinates who had changed shifts, the gardener, and the small chef who worked in the kitchen.

Cheng Ze opened the crowd and looked at the kitchen, only to see that there were only two people in the kitchen, Hua Banxia and Lin Daniu, both of whom were buried in the board, the kitchen knives in their hands were flying, and they were skillful in their hands.

I don't know what the two of them are going to cook, but judging from the atmosphere of the scene, you chase after me, and no one lets anyone, it seems that they are secretly competing.

Cheng Ze's attention has been on Hua Banxia, and she has chosen a small kitchen knife, and has been dealing with the thing called lotus root that she brought, either sliced or diced.

After packing up the lotus root that you need, you will start to choose from the ingredient rack, pork, purple cabbage, eggs, glutinous rice, red beans, etc., and start a new round of cleaning.

Hua Banxia never raised his head to look at Cheng Ze, he cooked according to his own recipe, washed the glutinous rice and red beans, found the big lotus root in the hole, poured the red beans and glutinous rice into it, and put it on the steamer to steam.

Hua Banxia picked a piece of selected pork belly, fortunately, Cheng Fu purchased a large number of meat, and did not cut the meat small, Hua Banxia picked a large piece, "snapped" on the board, and Cheng Ze jumped.

Hua Banxia played with the knife in his hand and tried to cut a piece of pork belly, this knife is not good, it doesn't matter if the lotus root is rough, the meat must be cut to the end, smooth and traceless.

Hua Banxia glanced at it and picked up a whetstone from the knife holder, "Bang! Cha! Cha! After three or two clicks, he put down the whetstone, turned slightly towards the bright light at the kitchen door, picked up the knife and glanced at it against the light, and stroked the index finger of his left hand, which was not bad!

Hua Banxia was very satisfied with the knife he sharpened, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled at the pork on the board.

Cheng Ze was a little shocked when he watched Hua Banxia's flowing movements, watching her sharpen the knife and spatula, and worried that she would hurt her hands, but looking at her cold smile at the pork on the board, he felt a little frightened.

How can I cook a meal like this?

Chopping meat, seasoning, stuffing, wrapping, blanching, marinating, everything is in order. On the other side, Chef Lin has already started his performance, frying and stewing, and he is very busy.

"Tsk, who do you say will win", "Yes, it's hard to guess, it looks like they are all good at cooking", as early as when Hua Banxia made a bet with Chef Lin, the kitchen workers heard it, and there was a lot of discussion at this time.

Looking at the two people in the kitchen is almost like participating in a cooking competition, nervous and excited, as time passes, the kitchen is filled with the smell of food.

Towards the end, the dishes of the two came out of the pot one by one, and the preparation table was suddenly full of hot meals.

The last dish of Hua Banxia is to bring the lotus root knot that was first placed on the steamer, the steamed glutinous rice and red beans are tightly glued to the lotus root hole, Hua Banxia is cut one by one, neatly stacked on the plate, scooped two spoonfuls of honey from the honey pot, and poured on it.

The last dish was put on the food preparation table, and Hua Banxia raised his head, not knowing which was the girl who served the dishes, so he could only look at Cheng Ze, who had been sitting at the door and looked like an uncle, and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Hua Banxia began to clean up the stove that he had messed up again.

"Humph!" The fat cook on the opposite side was unwilling to fall behind, served his last dish, and squinted at Hua Banxia, who was still cleaning up, and sneered, "This kind of thing has to be done by yourself, it's really a human life!" ”

Hua Banxia ignored it and didn't get angry, and directly ignored him. "Young Master Cheng, you should know about our bet, give a result, I'll leave in a hurry."

Cheng Ze saw that Hua Banxia was so respectful to himself, and it was a little strange, and when he stood up and looked at it, he remembered that there were so many maids outside the door, it seemed that he was too fascinated by it just now, and he forgot about the people behind him.

But this little girl is quite smart, and she doesn't leave a handle for gossip about herself.

"What's the hurry, how can I conclude this alone", Cheng Ze didn't know why, he just wanted Hua Banxia to stay for a while, "Come on, bring the food to the front hall, and the two of you will come over and listen."

After Cheng Ze finished speaking, he waved his big hand, and the maids who had been waiting outside the door for a long time poured in, and the well-trained picked up the dishes and served the dishes.

Hua Banxia and the fat cook followed behind Cheng Ze, and a group of people walked towards the main hall.

"Hmph, the lord and the lady have eaten the dishes I made for more than ten years, do you think you can win me with this little care? You're doomed! "The fat cook is really an old man in the house, and he is not afraid of Cheng Ze hearing his words at all.

Of course, Cheng Ze really heard it, and pricked up his ears to hear what Hua Banxia had to say, but after a while, he didn't hear Hua Banxia speak, Cheng Ze looked back curiously, and saw Hua Banxia following calmly, not affected by the fat cook at all.

Interesting, this girl is so good-tempered, she doesn't have a girl's stinginess at all, and she doesn't look forgiving at all.

"Dad, mother, Mu'er, you're here too, let's eat", Cheng Ze stepped into the front hall, and saw that Cheng Mu was coquettish with his father and mother, it seemed that this girl wanted to go out to play again.

"Brother, I heard from my mother that there is a cooking competition in our house at noon today, where is it? Is it done? Cheng Mu saw his brother come in, and immediately ran forward and asked.

Cheng Mu is the daughter of the official family, and she rarely has the opportunity to go out, and the fun in the house itself is much less because of her father's strictness, so staying at home every day doesn't make her suffocated, and when she hears that there is a competition today, she happily wants to participate.

Cheng Ze also feels sorry for his innocent sister, since she was a child, she can go out if she wants to, and because she is a girl, she can only stay at home. Every time she watched herself go out with envy, she looked pitiful, and she felt guilty when she went out, and she had to bring her some gadgets back every time.

But when I go out every day, I have walked all over the streets and alleys of Nancheng, and I have bought everything, no, Cheng Ze has not brought anything to Cheng Mu for a long time, which has suffocated her to the extreme.

"Okay, okay, sit down, let's start", Cheng Ze put his hand on Cheng Mu's shoulders and pushed her to the dining table.

The four of them sat down, and the maids had already neatly brought the dishes, because everyone knew about the gambling contract, so they tacitly put aside the meals made by Hua Banxia and the fat cook, so that the old lady could judge.

"Wow...... What kind of dishes are these, but they are so beautiful! Cheng Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw the dishes on the table, of course she was looking at the food that Hua Banxia cooked.

"Yes, sir, look, this dish is made like embroidery, it looks very good", Yu Yan couldn't help but admire.

Hua Banxia is a highly educated person, and he usually goes to more restaurants, and he recognizes the importance of the presentation of dishes in his previous life, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, which is no longer the only criterion for attracting people.

Therefore, the dishes made by Hua Banxia are carefully arranged by her, and the dishes that cannot be placed will also be carved and decorated with vegetables and placed on the plate.

"Hmph, the food is for people to eat, what's the use of looking good or not!" The fat cook glanced at the dishes that took a long summer with disdain, although he thought that this girl's dishes were good-looking, but no matter how good they were, they had to be eaten in the stomach, so he didn't bother to spend time doing this kind of time-wasting thing.

Cheng Ze still had a cynical smile on his face, but he was a little angry in his heart, this Lin Daniu was getting bolder and bolder, no matter what, he was still so yin and yang in front of his master, not to mention that Hua Banxia was a guest invited by himself!

"Uncle Lin, how do you know that Miss Banxia's food is not delicious, don't be afraid of losing, deliberately slander others", Cheng Ze picked up chopsticks, sandwiched a dish made by Banxia, and warned Lin Daniu before eating.

"Hmm...... Dad, mother, this is so delicious, you can taste it", Cheng Ze took a bite, thinking that no matter how Hua Banxia did, he would support her, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious.

"Really?" Cheng Mu looked at his brother's enjoyment of eating, and he was about to drool when he bit his chopsticks.

Cheng Ze hurriedly sandwiched another dish, which was also delicious, and couldn't help nodding, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

The other three couldn't believe it when they saw Cheng Ze so satisfied. The chef of Chengfu also has more than ten years of experience, and few people can surpass him, this girl who looks like a teenager is really so delicious?

The three of them moved their chopsticks one after another, of course, they ate the dishes of Hua Banxia, and they ate the dishes of the chefs in this house every day, and everyone knew what it tasted like.

"Well, Dad, Mother, it's really delicious", Cheng Mu also likes it.

"Hey, Banxia, what are these dishes of yours, so delicious", Cheng Ze ate and ate, and then remembered that he had never even seen these dishes before.

If only Cheng Ze eats, then Hua Banxia will definitely not bother to explain to him, he has been hungry since last night, and now he is still watching others eat, and he is not aggrieved.

But now that the Lord of the Mansion is here, of course he has to restrain himself, and maybe he will deal with the Lord of the Government in the future, and the first impression cannot be lost.

Hua Banxia took a step forward and began to introduce the four of them, and made rouge lotus, glutinous rice lotus, cold lotus root, meat slices wrapped in lotus root, lotus root stewed pork ribs and lotus root box, the rouge root is marinated in the juice pounded out of purple cabbage, and the original white lotus root is dyed into a bright purple, which is very good-looking.
