In the small courtyard of Wen's family, as soon as Wen's father and daughter returned home, they rushed straight into the small kitchen.
"Father, the 'Unifying Country' you cooked today is really amazing!" As soon as Rou Rou entered the small kitchen, she was busy reminiscing about the strange dish that Wen Shouzheng made during today's competition.
The best sweet ginger is selected and soaked in delicious broth. Although the sweet ginger is eaten, the ginger has its own strange meaty fragrance.
In addition, ginger has a unique original spicy taste, which is a good dish for removing fishy smell, supplemented with gravy, and has an indescribable flavor in it.
What Wen Rou praised the most is that Wen Shouzheng used the original appearance of sweet ginger to form various continuous high mountains, and gave this dish a domineering name "Unifying Jiangshan!"
"You girl, you made fun of your father and me again! How can my domination of the country compare to your great Zhou territory! Hehe, the old saying is really good, it really is better than the blue!" Wen Shouzheng had a round and fat face Shangle blossomed.
"Father, there is the last match tomorrow. Daddy, we all have to work hard! Trying to enter the ranks of the palace selection in one fell swoop is not in vain for our hard work as hardworking people!" Wen Rou vowed.
"Well, let's work together! My Wen family is really lucky to have a daughter like you!" Wen Shouzheng nodded and smiled.
At night, the small courtyard of Wen's family is quiet and serene.
Wen Shouzheng fell asleep early. The two-day competition was extremely challenging both physically and mentally.
Gentle and excited lying on the bed, tossing and turning hard to fall asleep.
Tomorrow is the last round of the game, if it goes well, it will definitely be selected for the palace!
palace...
That was the place where Dad realized his dream in his previous life, and it was also the place where Dad was most proud of in his previous life...
Gentlely closed her eyes, the display in the imperial dining room was as if she was actually there. Scenes, one after another, are so exciting!
months ago. Rourou once entered the imperial palace as Nangongxue's assistant and maid, and experienced the grandeur and delicacy of the imperial dining room.
The thought of being able to enter that dreamlike big kitchen again. With everything at hand, you can use your culinary ideas at will, and you can wake up with a smile in your dreams when you are gentle and excited.
The imperial palace, the place where the dreams of the previous life began, is also the place where the nightmare ends...
Daddy was working as an imperial cook, cooking for the emperor every day, but why did the Wen family get wiped out in the end!
The gentle heart tightened suddenly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be still there. But there is a heart-piercing pain in my heart!
To re-enter the palace in this life is to find out the mystery of the previous life!
Wen Rou secretly made up her mind, her small fists clenched tightly under the quilt.
"Shusha." There was a rustling sound outside the window.
Wenrou immediately got up, and by the moonlight outside the window, she saw a vague and familiar shadow outside the window paper.
"Master!" Wen Rou was startled, and immediately opened the door.
Sure enough, Cai Mi smiled kindly and stood in front of her door.
"Master, it's so late. Why don't you go to rest?" asked tenderly and concernedly.
"Tomorrow's last game, girl, have you ever prepared yourself?" Cai Mi asked with a smile.
"Master, could it be that you are here to teach Rou'er a unique skill!?" Listening to Cai Mi's tone. Wen Rou was surprised and delighted.
"Hehe, I can't talk about unique knowledge, I can only pass on the experience of this old man's life to you, I hope it can be helpful to you!" Cai Mi nodded and smiled.
"Master is the best! Let's go, let's go to the kitchen!" Hearing the experience imparted, Wen Rou immediately regained his energy, jumped happily, and walked to the kitchen with Cai Mi's arm in his arms.
"It's cooking! Although you must follow the nature of the food. Try to use the least amount of seasoning to cook the most unique taste of each food! But at the critical moment, you still have to innovate! You must dare to break the rules!" Cai Mi held his hand behind his back Said.
"Master, you always teach Rou'er that food tastes authentic. But this breaks the rules..." Wen Rou felt troubled while listening.
"Hehe, you silly girl, you are quite clever on weekdays, why don't you understand tonight? The old man told you to break the rules, not to make you mix the flavors randomly, but to let you follow the original single layer of food. In terms of taste, create it, so as to achieve a breakthrough effect!" Cai Mi smiled faintly.
"Master, Rou'er doesn't know." Ruan Rou became curious.
"Hehe, do you know how many tastes there are in the world?" Cai Mi asked with a smile, stroked his beard.
"Of course, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty! Five kinds!" She replied gently and swiftly.
"Hehe, do you know why this old man is called 'Master of Six Flavors'?" Cai Mi asked proudly.
"That's right, it's clear that there are only five flavors of ingredients, but why is Cai Mi, the chef god, called the 'Master of Six Flavors'?" Rourou suddenly thought about it! Immediately shook his head gently!
"The sixth taste is a new taste, which comes from the other basic five flavors, but it is far higher than the basic five flavors! It can be changed according to food habits, mood, environment, solar terms, and time. It can be based on the heart of a cook. And change! But no matter how you change it, it will still be harmonious, delicious, unified, and natural! New is the unique taste and a brand new experience!" Cai Mi said with a sense of Zen.
"Master, Rou'er still doesn't seem to understand when you say that." Rou'er nodded ignorantly.
"For example, this egg!" Cai Mi said, pinching one of the most common raw eggs in the kitchen.
"Eggs?!" Wen Rou was stunned.
"That's right, tell me, if you want to cook this egg, how can you do it?" Cai Mi questioned with a protracted voice on purpose.
"Hmm... It can be steamed, boiled, fried, pan-fried, served as a side dish, or added to soup." Gentle and crisp.
"Hehe, these are just ordinary cooking methods. In terms of taste, it naturally tastes like ordinary eggs. If you think about it carefully, how can you cook eggs?" Cai Mi squinted her eyes and asked gently with a smile.
"It's okay..." Wen Rou hesitated, this ordinary egg is nothing more than those cooking methods, can it be possible to make flowers? Think that Chef Gao's ancient book does not record any other methods of making eggs? !
Gentle froze there for a moment.
"Hehe, look!" Cai Mi smiled triumphantly, rolled up her sleeves, and came to the stove with clean hands.
Take a few eggs. Pour it into the basin smartly, then take a pair of chopsticks and stretch it out like a basin filled with egg liquid. Stirring rapidly.
That posture and that strength seem to be very different from the eggbeater on one side. It's just that even the speed is too slow for Wen Rou to blink.
"Papa clap". Cai Mi stirred vigorously... He stopped from time to time, stared at the thick egg liquid, picked it up with chopsticks from time to time, observed carefully, and added some ingredients to it from time to time...
I don't know how long it has passed.
Wen Rou's eyes were a little sore from watching, the pot of golden egg liquid turned into a milky white semi-solid state like a magic trick.
Even putting the chopsticks in it seems to be able to stand upright!
"Master! Is this egg liquid?!" Rourou was stunned!
"Hehe. Watch carefully!" Cai Mi didn't answer, but added flour and sugar to the beaten egg.
Then put it in a large round bowl and put it in a pot to steam.
"Master! What are you going to do?" Ruan Rou was puzzled, she had never seen such an egg custard, even if it was to be steamed, it was also the way of egg custard, and what was added to it was only water, not flour and sugar...
After a while, the steamer was steaming, and Cai Mi estimated the time. Gently lift the lid off the pot.
Gentle stunned!
In the big bowl that Cai Mi carefully took out from the pot, what was placed was no longer an ordinary egg dish, but something similar to fluffy hair cakes.
The aroma is overflowing. Bursts of sweetness.
The egg scent was subtly wrapped in the bowl of strange things, exuding a tempting smell.
Gentle swallowed involuntarily, her eyes fixed on the strange bowl of food.
"Master, this is?" Wen Rou asked curiously.
"Taste it." Cai Mi cheerfully took the bowl of fluffy fluffy, and signaled for gentleness to break a piece.
Soft to the touch, unlike any food in the past.
Gently break off a small piece, and look closely, the fine holes are densely hidden in the bowl of fluffy.
It is a dark brownish yellow on the outside, and a light golden yellow on the inside.
Put it gently in your mouth. The fine holes seem to melt into the tongue in an instant, and the sweet egg fragrance is mixed with the sweetness of flour. With the sweetness of white sugar, it melts into the gentle mouth.
"Master, what is this? It's so delicious!" Rourou exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe, this is called egg cake! It's a new taste made by mixing eggs and flour! Although eggs are used, the taste is even better than usual! This is the new taste I told you! The eggs are still the same, other ingredients It can also be made by foaming! As long as you put your heart into it, you can create the sixth flavor above the five flavors!" Cai Miyu said earnestly.
"Egg cakes! Eggs can also be made into cakes! So it tastes like this..." Ruan Rou thought to herself, and before she knew it, she had already eaten more than half of a bowl of steaming chicken cakes.
On the second day, when the sky was bright again, Wen Rou and Wen Shouzheng got up early, and came to the arena in Qiao's carriage like in the previous two rounds.
"Uncle Wen, can you let me have a word with Miss Wen?" Before entering the arena, Ren Yue politely asked Wen Shouzheng for instructions.
Wen Shouzheng nodded, although he was a little puzzled, the competition was about to start, what exactly did Mr. Ren want to say to Rou'er? But in the end they agreed to be alone with the two of them.
"Uncle Wen! Mr. Ren called me Uncle Wen again... This is really not used to..." Wen Shouzheng rubbed the back of his head and muttered to himself.
"Rou'er, come on! I like you!" Ren Yue gently pulled Wen Rou over, looking at the slender girl in front of him calmly.
"Are you going to tell me this?" Rourou felt a little funny.
Ren Yue has always been calm and composed, even if he takes the exam by himself, he won't take it to heart, let alone someone else's competition
"Come on! We must win!" Ren Yue continued to say to Wen Rou word by word.
"Why do you want me to win? If I win, I will enter the palace! Aren't you the most opposed to my entering the palace?" Rourou felt curious.
"You must win!" Ren Yue didn't explain much, but said firmly.
"Okay! I will do my best, and you will remember your promise!" The gentle, clean and clear eyes looked firmly at Ren Yue in front of him.
"En! You just go to win, and leave the rest to me!" Although Ren Yue's voice was faint, there was an invisible force in it, as if the words were not spoken from the mouth, but from the chest!
