He recognized at a glance that the soft and pure white ingredients were tofu, and when he saw the thickness of these filaments, his first reaction was that his eyes were wrong, and he began to rub his eyes with his hands in a hurry.

Then he opened his eyes abruptly and took a deep breath to restrain the shock in his heart, and at the same time, the fragrance went deeper into his body with his breath.

The shredded tofu is as thick as green silk, can you believe that it appears in front of you like this?

The others looked over curiously when they saw the man's strange behavior.

Seeing this, Mu Xin took the bowl in his hand from the man and circled around to show the dishes in the bowl to the people who came closer.

When they saw that there was only a little soup left, everyone knew that the taste of this dish was definitely not bad, after all, there were still a lot of leftovers in the first two dishes, so they ate this one cleanly.

At the same time, everyone also noticed the thin strips of tofu hanging on the wall of the bowl that were almost skimmed at a glance.

The crowd's eyes widened in disbelief and gasped.

"Shhhh

I couldn't help but think that with such a skilled chef here, they must have no chance to stand out this year.

If everyone was still angry about Liu Palm and Zheng Wan's actions in front of Fanglin just now, then now there is no longer a pimple in everyone's hearts.

After all, a chef who seems to be unable to catch up with you in a few years, no matter how much jealousy you have, it is better to make friends, maybe you can learn a little bit yourself.

After having this thought, everyone's afterglow always drifted in the direction of Liu Brown from time to time.

If they can help Zheng Wan solve Liu Brown's thorn, can they take this as a letter of nomination, let Zheng Wan teach a hand or two, and maybe they will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Originally, Qin Sishan agreed to let everyone watch the works of the top three, in order to convince everyone and suppress everyone's floating thoughts.

didn't expect that the mistakes made everyone's hearts more impetuous, and began to think about those ideas that couldn't be put on the table.

When everyone saw Wen Si Tofu, they wanted to find Zheng Wan's figure in the crowd, but found that the place where she was standing had long been empty.

"What about Mrs. Zheng?"

"I left early when Dong Zhangshan brought out the dishes."

"Then why don't you say it?"

"Say what? Just now, you were questioning Zheng Niangzi's achievements, who will stay as a target for you? ”

Li Niangzi and Wang Niangzi were not polite at all, although they were also surprised that Zheng Wan had such cooking skills, but compared to this, they were still very dissatisfied with the performance of everyone before.

After getting along in the past few days, the two also know that Zheng Wan is just a young and cute little lady, and it is good that their actions just now do not frighten people, and now they still want to find someone.

Thinking of this, Wang Niangzi and Li Niangzi glanced at each other and strode away.

This made the men present dumbfounded, you must know that after Zheng Wan left, the only people who could send a message to Zheng Wan were these two cooks, if they were even annoyed by this, then how could they contact Zheng Wan?

"Eh, eh!"

One by one, they excitedly wanted to surround them, but they were run away by Li Niangzi and Wang Niangzi as if they were running for their lives, and they definitely didn't leave any room for everyone.

The two hurried to the residence, but they didn't see Zheng Wan here, and they were puzzled for a while, in this imperial city, where else could Zheng Wan go besides coming here?

Zheng Wan, who was feasting in the kitchen of the Shangshi Bureau at this time, would definitely ask if she heard such words: If the place to eat is not in the kitchen, where else can she go?

Zheng Wan brought the ingredients he had just secretly saved back to the kitchen, and with a little money power, he obtained the right to use the kitchen stove, and finally made a stir-fried vegetable that satisfied him.

These days, she has been eating the dishes assigned to ordinary palace maids by the Shangshi Bureau, and she feels like she has been hungry for several days, and if she doesn't make up for it with some oil and water, she will probably be hungry and thin.

Sharing this dish with her is also the palace maid Qiaoxin who has been taking care of her these days.

Qiaoxin smelled the dishes in front of her with a rich fragrance, and couldn't help but look up at Zheng Wan opposite, she felt warmth for the first time in the imperial city.

As soon as Zheng Wan looked up, he saw Qiaoxin holding the dishes and chopsticks motionless, and reminded:

"Qiaoxin, hurry up and eat! It's better to eat this dish hot, you smell how fragrant. ”

As she spoke, she didn't forget to take a deep breath, the fragrance of the soaked dried shiitake mushrooms was so fragrant, the ubiquitous umami and the aroma of the fried dried fragrant sauce were mixed together, and it was simply gluttonous people's mouths.

Zheng Wan couldn't restrain himself, and after mentioning it to Qiaoxin, he immediately picked up a chopstick of various ingredients and pressed it on the rice, aiming the bowl with his mouth, wanting to drive the rice and vegetables into his mouth directly.

When the other palace maids present heard Zheng Wan's words, they couldn't wait to replace their ingenuity, and they didn't want to take a bite of the food that smelled so good, otherwise they would give this opportunity to them.

And seeing Zheng Wan eating so deliciously, everyone's saliva was really about to flow out of the corners of their mouths.

Just when everyone was chewing on the tasteless dishes in their mouths and staring directly at Qiaoxin, who wasted his position, Qiaoxin suddenly moved.

Although she was a little embarrassed to eat the dishes prepared by Zheng Wan, hearing the sound of Zheng Wan chewing and the fragrance that kept coming in from the tip of her nose, her rock-solid heart began to waver.

Looking down at the dishes on the table, there are rich colors, including the yellow of spring shoots, the red of carrots, the brown of shiitake mushrooms, and the green of spinach.

Even if she didn't smell the scent in the air, she was willing to try it.

She casually picked up a chopstick, imitated Zheng Wan's movements, put things on top of the rice, and rushed them into her mouth.

In an instant, your mouth is filled with the flavor of various vegetables, the most intense of which is the umami of shiitake mushrooms and the flavor of soy sauce that dyes the vegetables with dark soy sauce.

And this dish tastes devoid of moisture at all, and the dry aroma is overflowing, and this strong fragrance is released in the mouth, which suddenly stimulates the cells in the body that are already hungry for food.

She subconsciously sped up the speed of her chewing, turning the various ingredients in her mouth into a mouthful.

First of all, she felt the crispness of the spring bamboo shoots, and the sweetness hidden in the spring bamboo shoots hidden by the fragrance of the sauce, and she could even feel the juice bursting from the inside.

The mellow and chewy shiitake mushrooms, the sweet and crisp carrots are not to be outdone, showing a different taste from spring bamboo shoots, and even the spinach is perfectly integrated with everyone, showing its own freshness in the aftertaste.

The most surprising thing should be the vermicelli that Zheng Wan put in it, after dyeing with soy sauce, the originally transparent vermicelli is dyed with a layer of brown, which is not conspicuous in the colorful dishes, and can even be said to be the one that drags its feet.

But when she chewed on the fans, she realized that they had absorbed the essence of the dish into themselves.

Beneath its soft and elastic exterior is the umami of shiitake mushroom juice, the sweetness of other vegetables, and the flavor of the sauce that tightly wraps around the vermicelli.

It can be said that on this vermicelli, she directly tasted the taste of a whole dish.

Unconsciously, her cheeks were bulging more and more, and by the time she realized it, the plates on the table were already empty, and Zheng Wan on the other side was also looking at herself with a smile on his face.

Zheng Wan noticed that his movements were being seen, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:

"How? My cooking skills are okay. ”

Hearing this, Qiaoxin immediately sped up the speed of his chewing, swallowed all the remaining things in his mouth, and said anxiously:

"The lady's cooking skills are the best I've ever eaten."

As if she was worried that Zheng Wan would not believe her words, she nodded her head several times to show her determination.

At this moment, the smile on Zheng Wan's face deepened, "That's good, I thought that the palace was used to eating lalala delicious food, and these ordinary dishes couldn't arouse everyone's interest." ”

"Impossible, the lady's cooking skills are outstanding, and the small snacks given to the slave maid that day also taste very good."

"The one you're talking about is a soufflé, and I brought it from home, but it's a pity that I didn't see an oven here, otherwise I could have made a little more for you to taste."

"No, no, no, no, lady doesn't have to be like this. The slave maid is just an ordinary palace maid in the Shangshi Bureau, where can she be so loved by the lady. However, the Shang Food Bureau also has an oven, that is, in the courtyard next door, where it is responsible for making other dishes that need to be ovened, so the lady didn't see it. ”

"I see."

Zheng Wan nodded clearly, and began to have some ideas about the dishes he prepared on the last day.

After a full meal, Zheng Wan walked in the direction of his residence.

When she came to the door, she saw two people with glowing eyes looking at her, and she said with some doubts: "Did something happen to Li Niangzi and Zheng Niangzi?" Why do you ......?"

"Oops! Before, it was really the two of us who didn't know Mount Tai, and I don't know where Zheng Xiaoniang learned? The cooking skills really shocked everyone. ”

"When we heard the leader's name as a lady today, we almost couldn't respond. Zheng Xiaoniang sit down, we live together, it is time to have a good exchange. By the way, where did the little lady go after she left the assessment yard? We waited here for a while and were nowhere to be seen. ”

Zheng Wan looked at the excited appearance of the two, and reminded with some embarrassment:

"It's lunch time, and if the two ladies don't hurry to the kitchen, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat anything."

"What!"

"Oops! It was the men who killed both of us. ”

At this time, Wang Niangzi and Li Niangzi didn't care about talking to Zheng Wan to exchange feelings, and now they didn't fill their stomachs with anything.

Although they knew that it was easy to do things with money when they came, it was still a little difficult to use money to open a business in the kitchen of the Shangshi Bureau.

Therefore, it is best not to leave behind the free meal, otherwise you will have to go hungry for a whole meal and wait until the next time to eat.

Coupled with the assessment early this morning, everyone has long been physically and mentally exhausted, and if they don't add a little energy to their bodies, it is estimated that their health will be bad.

Thinking of this, the two hurried to the door, and even bumped into each other at the door because of this, and after squeezing a few times, no one was willing to take a step back.

Zheng Wan couldn't help but smile when he looked at such an interesting picture.

After this day, Zheng Wan's name as the leader of the first assessment gradually spread in the Shangshi Bureau.

Qiaoxin also knew what kind of chef did it that he ate fried mixed vegetables that day, you must know that Qiaoxin is the most talented in their batch, Zheng Wan can beat Qiaoxin, you can know how good the cooking skills are.

And she ate Zheng Wan's meals several times for free, but she couldn't help Zheng Wan anything.

Therefore, the next day, she directly fetched water for Zheng Wan, so that she would not have to go to the well to queue up with others and delay time.

Li Niangzi and Wang Niangzi were also sore when they saw this scene, and thought: Why don't they have such cooking skills to make people serve sincerely?

Just when the two wanted to make a few jokes, the palace maid who was in charge of assessment related matters suddenly visited.

"It just so happens that the three ladies live in the same house, and here the slave maid passes the word on their behalf. According to the established assessment rules, the day after tomorrow is the day when everyone is assessed. Dong Zhangshan considered that the big dishes of the red case generally take a long time, in order to let everyone better show their skills.

There are no restrictions on ingredients in this assessment, and even in order to let everyone have no worries, the ingredients that need to be prepared in advance can be prepared in advance by the palace maids of our Shangshi Bureau. If the three of them have any ideas, they can write them down on a piece of paper, and the slave and maid will come back after an hour to get them. ”

After that, the palace maid who followed her immediately placed the tray on the table, and on the tray was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which was left for the three of them to write.

After several palace maids finished speaking, they left immediately, leaving only the four of them standing in place.

Qiaoxin felt that she shouldn't exist on this occasion, and hurriedly put down the bucket in her hand and left.

Only the two of them were left in the room looking at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table in a daze, and Zheng Wan was already ready to sit down and start writing.

Chapter 57: Poisoning

For the dishes of the red case assessment, when she heard the news, she had a certain idea in her heart.

According to the preferences of people in the present tense, most of them prefer a light diet, even if spicy red crayfish are now rising everywhere in Luoyang City, but this kind of stimulating food will not affect the palace for the time being.

And for the female officials who have been in the Shangshi Bureau all the year round, the light taste of food is also more in line with their style of doing things.

She couldn't help but recall in her mind that it could be used as a dish for a state banquet, light in taste, but not rude on important occasions.

After a few simple searches, she immediately thought of the dish to be made in her assessment - crab roe lion's head.
