Wen Ting is still the same as in the past, studying until late at night, although he is already a high school student, but Mr. Song Tao's advice is not to slack in the slightest, fully prepare, and wait for the autumn exam to be on the palace.
Wen Rou kept turning over several times, unable to sleep from left to right, the enemy from her previous life reappeared, she was only one step away from the palace, she had never had the urge to look forward to a match, because she You know, after that, Wen Shouzheng can enter the palace to cook in a grand manner, and what she has to do in this life is to enter the palace with her father!
Female chef? Female chef
Rou Rou thought it was funny even thinking about it, such a pioneering feat that had never been done before, it was simply a fantasy, unheard of.
However, she wants to try, and she must succeed!
In Wen's small kitchen, Cai Mi was rustling and caressing, and there was a strange smell coming out from time to time.
"Master, what to teach me to eat delicious tonight?" The gentle and nimble body flashed in as expected.
In the past few months, it has become a gentle habit to appear in the kitchen with Cai Mi every night, watching, listening to and learning the dishes. Lost his soul, thinking wildly.
"The selection for the competition is coming soon. Today, I will teach you a strange way to cook hard dishes - stone cooking!" Cai Mi moved away, and there was a big pot in hand. What was cooked in the pot was not delicious ingredients, but a big one. Pot - stone!
"It's really hard food - boiled stone! Could it be that this stone is also an edible ingredient in Master's hands?!" Wen Wen was full of curiosity.
"You girl, although you are a good material for learning how to cook, you still know too little about the historical materials of cooking!" Cai Mi paused, and continued: "The cooking method of 'stone cooking' can be traced back to Thousands of years ago. According to legend, 'During the time of Shennong, the people ate grains. Shimijia burned stones and ate them.'”
After Cai Mi finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to signal Wenrou to come closer and watch carefully.
On one side is a pot full of stones. On the side was extremely thinly sliced pork and chicken.
A pot full of stones was placed on the table. It is very attractive to Wenrou's eyes. Wenrou looked carefully and saw that the pot was not ordinary stones, but all black and shiny pebbles. It must have been cooked at a high temperature in the oil pan, and a gust of heat rushed over. .
On a plate next to it are neatly stacked very thin slices of fresh pork and chicken, with distinct marble textures in red and white, tenderness can tell at a glance that the quality of these meats is excellent.
Cai Mi raised her hand to put the meat into the basin. Turned over in the stone, it was steaming all of a sudden, and the sound of "呲呲" was endless.
The temperature of the stone is extremely high, and the color of the flesh turns from red to white in a short while. The aroma of meat fat permeates the small space, making it impossible to avoid and indulge in it.
"Come on, try it, be careful not to burn it!" Cai Mi squinted her eyes and swallowed.
Gently and carefully picked up a piece of pork and put it in his mouth, the pork melted instantly. Only the unique delicious taste is left.
The temperature of the stone is very uniform. During the turning process, the meat slices are evenly heated at a lower temperature, making them extra tender.
This is different from the taste of meat obtained by any usual cooking method.
Gentle and excited to eat. Asked Cai Mi in amazement: "Master, who invented this stone dish? It doesn't need fire, just bake it on the stone. It's delicious and fun. It's really innovative."
How can Cai Mi bother to explain to her, when it comes to food, everything else is nonsense, only eating is the right way. At this moment, he was blowing on the sliced meat on the chopsticks, and replied: "Have you never seen it? This kind of stone cooking method is probably the oldest and most primitive cooking method for human beings. Speaking of which, beating your grandpa's grandpa Grandpa. I know how to play this stuff. But if you talk about it, this 'stone cooking' is a "Confucian food method", which emphasizes returning to nature. This cooking method can be traced back thousands of years ago, but now I know how to cook. There are not many people..." At this point, Cai Mi paused, then picked up his chopsticks and reached for the delicious chicken, sighing and eating, enjoying it very much.
After eating for a long time, Cai Mixu wanted to take a breather, and began to teach Gentle again, "Girl, do you know that in ancient times, emperors had a habit of taking jade powder for immortality."
"Isn't that an elixir? It's for immortality!" Rourou answered vaguely with his mouth full of delicious meat.
"Hey, no one has ever seen immortality, but this stone is a good thing. The various natural substances contained in it are cooked at high temperature and all disperse into the food. Eating it can help people to be healthy and help to cure diseases and protect health. , prolong life..."
A pot of stones, a plate of meat, the master and the apprentice come and go, eating and talking, learning with a smile, the pot of meat is eaten up in an instant.
At the end of the tenderness, he held a stone in his mouth, the smooth and warm stone wrapped in the taste of meat, very comfortable.
"Master, can this stone cooking be grilled?" After eating, he gently and tentatively pointed to the eel beside him.
Cai Mi touched his swollen stomach and nodded slightly. The sliced eel, wrapped in cornstarch, was poured into a stone, and he ate it gently. It was fragrant and smooth, similar to that of pork and chicken. The same method but the same effect, it melts in the mouth.
The fishy smell is very light, but the unique sweet taste is retained.
Eel is especially suitable for grilling. This kind of stone cooking is very special. I have eaten a lot of tenderness. I still compare the taste. The freshness in the water is naturally better than running on the ground. Naturally, I still think it is better than pork and chicken. Tastier and more flavorful.
This night, the delicious food was in the stomach again, full of food and drink, all the troubles were put aside, and a good sleep was made, and it was dawn before I knew it.
Packed up, thinking about today's arrangements...
"Dangdang." There was an urgent knock on the door.
Mrs. Zhou went to open the door, only to find Qiao Zizhang standing in front of Wen's house wearing red sleeves.
"When did Master Zizhang be so anxious?" Zhou asked.
"Are Chef Wen and Miss Wen there?" Qiao Zizhang asked anxiously.
"Invite, Master Zizhang." Zhou invited Wen Shouzheng and gentleness at the same time.
At this time, a family of four was sitting around in the courtyard to discuss the competition in a few days.
"Chef Wen, Miss Wen, something has happened!" Qiao Zizhang didn't sit down, and just shouted.
"What's the matter?!" Wen Shouzheng got up and asked.
He originally thought that he went to cook in Xiangfu yesterday, but Liu Zhang backtracked again. I still want to bring him into the Huaide Palace and serve as his private cook in the palace.
"Early this morning, someone from the palace passed on a message from Mr. Qu, the chief ambassador of this year's chef selection competition, the deputy master of Shangshan of the imperial dining room in the palace. It was said that Mr. Qu had read the list of preliminary candidates for this year's competition, and he was very impressed with Miss Wen's female style." There is quite a bit of criticism about her identity. It is said that in the selection of chefs in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a generation of women. It would be too childish and unorthodox for women to participate in the men's competition, so Miss Wen's name was ticked off!" Qiao Zizhang Hurry up.
"What? Removed Rou'er's name?!" Wen Shouzheng was taken aback!
"Master Zizhang, am I not allowed to participate in the competition?" Wenrou asked with a sudden chill in her heart.
"Chef Wen. Don't worry, Ms. Wen. I came here to discuss countermeasures with you as soon as I heard about it this morning. Now Dad is going around early in the morning to find out and clear up, to see if I can help Ms. Wen win the competition again Qualifications! With Miss Wen's cooking skills, let alone a woman, even a man may not be her opponent!" Qiao Zizhang was a little excited.
"It's really hard for Master Qiao. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, Rou'er will thank Master Qiao and Master Zizhang again. If Rou'er really misses the chef selection competition, please Master Zizhang and Master Qiao. .It must be to ensure that my father can participate in the competition and be selected!" Gentle and polite, planning for the worst.
Even if she can't enter the palace, she must let Wen Shouzheng enter the palace.
Because only by going back to the original point of origin. Only then can we find out the real culprit in the previous life! Return the Wen family's innocence!
"Sister Rou'er, don't worry, Master Zizhang will do his best. We came here just to let you know what's in your mind. I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept the news from other people's mouths to your ears. Until the last moment, everyone You can't even give up!" Hong Xiu gently patted her gentle arm and comforted her.
"Chef Wen, Ms. Wen, you can live here with peace of mind these few days. If you need anything, just ask. My father and I are running around outside, so we must earn Ms. Wen a qualification for the competition!" Qiao Zizhang bowed. hand over. He quickly walked out of Wen's courtyard with his red sleeves.
The chef selection is clearly within reach, but there is such a mistake at this juncture!
Fortunately, it was gossip in the palace. The list of contestants has not yet been posted.
Everything is still to work, and it is still possible to participate in the competition by yourself!
"Father, let's go for a walk! I can't think of a way to get bored here, anyway, didn't Master Zizhang say that Master Qiao would run around and clear the way? We just need to get ready for the competition!" Later, Gentle La Wen Shouzheng, who was sullen.
"However, didn't Mr. Ren tell us yesterday that we should not go out casually without him and General Sheng's company? At this juncture, it's better not to cause trouble!" Wen Shouzheng hesitated.
"Father, this is the capital city, and the universe is at the foot of the emperor. What can we do? Besides, this place is very close to Ren's and Sheng's mansions, no one would have such courage! Let's just take a short walk." ! It’s good to know what kind of taste people in the capital like!” Gentle persuaded.
"Oh... that's fine!" Wen Shouzheng sighed, but complied anyway.
The father and daughter cuddled up to each other and walked out of the small courtyard to the lively street.
Outside the door of a food stall, a white-haired old woman was leaning on a cane and looking at the bustling crowd in front of her.
"Grandma of the Tao family, have you been addicted to your eyes again?" Someone in the crowd spotted the old woman and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Hey! Come and see, come and see!" The old woman nodded and swallowed involuntarily.
"Grandma Tao, you've been looking at it for so many days, why don't you just buy one of Faji's meat buns? Well, I'll treat you to one today!" The man volunteered and was about to take out his purse.
