Chapter 183 Assessment
One after another, the masters recommended by various prefectures arrived in the capital within the specified time, and went to the Women's Culinary Academy to participate in the final assessment.
The Empress of the Honorable Mountain Chief also left the palace that day to join in the fun.
Surprisingly, more than [-] people came to participate in this assessment. At the beginning, Cuihua was worried that she would not be able to recruit enough people.After all, in this dynasty, women who were literate and could cook well were not common.
Moreover, most of them are already mothers at this age, and even those who are over 40 are grandmothers, and there are very few who can leave their in-laws' home to work.
Hearing that the chief examiner was the empress, a group of women got excited and geared up for a while. They all wanted to show their talents. If they could stay, it would be a godsend.
Empress Gao nodded to Cuihua, motioning for her to speak, Cuihua had no choice but to step forward:
"Thanks to all the ladies, who have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the selection and assessment of the masters of the Daxia Women's Culinary Academy. This assessment is divided into three rounds, and each round will be scored by the empress, me, and the female officer of the Shangshi Bureau. There are three rounds Afterwards, admission from highest to lowest.
These three rounds of evaluation are divided into two days, and today is the first round.
In the first round, please find your favorite ingredients in the big kitchen within two hours, and serve us a special dish or pastry. I hope you will show your true skills and wish everyone good luck! "
The students enrolled in early, and now they are acting as the fire girls of the future masters, who can control the heat according to the cooking requirements of the masters.
After Cuihua spoke, more than 80 women filed into the big kitchen, two hours was enough.
Mi Shi was also among this group of people. From the moment she went to the capital, she had no other way out. It was a great honor for her to have the empress empress and a female official from the Shangshi Bureau as judges.
Yao Shi was excited, she didn't expect that with regard to her steamed stuffed buns, the prefect would directly recommend her to come to the capital without having to take the test, so smooth that she still can't believe it.
When they entered the big kitchen, everyone's eyes lit up. Here, the tiles are pasted from the stove to the floor, and they look clean and tidy. They are happy to cook in this kitchen every day.
There were baskets of ingredients, and everyone stepped forward quickly, trying to find the one that was most suitable for them. Among this group of people, Mi Shi was considered young and strong.She actually saw it among the ingredients, a whole duck with its hair removed and its viscera removed, and a basket full of old ginger in the seasoning, and she immediately had a recipe.
I saw that she picked up the duck, found a casserole, and gently instructed the girl who set the fire to light the fire to boil the water on the big stove, quickly cut the duck into pieces, and blanched the water.
Mrs. Yao is also very satisfied with the gray noodles in the big kitchen. In order to facilitate the dough making of the pasta, the big kitchen also provides old dough. common practice.
Yao Shi found in the big kitchen: lard suet, white sugar, walnut kernels, sesame seeds, and she plans to make her family's specialty buns: crystal oil buns.
Empress Gao was drinking tea, chatting with Aunt Qiu with a smile: "Auntie, you have only been in Uncle Zhongqin's residence for a few years, but you have gained a lot of weight!"
Aunt Qiu narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, Madam, who said it wasn't true! We old sisters have been living in the uncle's house for the past few years. We have eaten well and lived in peace. When it’s time to use the remaining heat, thanks to the master, we don’t think we’re too old.”
"Aunt Qiu, you and your aunts have helped me so much in the past few years. My little nieces are going out now, and they are proper little ladies.
There are also those girls and servants in our house, who would not say that the rules in our house are good, I entrusted my mother's blessing, and got the help of your aunts! "
"Look at the intimacy of your master and servant, it's all thanks to me anyway!"
"Hey, we are all enjoying the shade under your big tree, Madam!"
The three of them were drinking tea and chatting. It was very lively. In less than two hours, food was served one after another.
Experts will know if there are any as soon as they make a move. These dishes, from the knife skills to the presentation, the color of the dishes to the aroma, all show that this is a delicious dish. Those dim sum and pasta dishes are so varied that even the empress is amazed.
The three will rate each dish after tasting it, with a full score of [-].
Mi's ginger duck came out from one end, the caramel color and the thick and rich aroma made everyone's eyes bright.
The duck meat is rich in burnt aroma, warm and delicious:
It mixes the fragrance of duck oil and sesame oil, and the fishy smell of duck meat is swept away by the ginger mother, leaving only the mellow and fresh fragrance; It has a chewy texture and a slight sweetness.
The three of them couldn't help but ate a few yuan, Qiqi scored a perfect score.
Yao's crystal oil bag was the last to come out.
The crystal oil pack must be eaten when it is steaming hot, and you can see the transparent oil splashing out after taking a bite, eating it in your mouth and burning your tongue.
Take a closer look, the melted white sugar is faintly mixed with red, green and green colors. If you taste it carefully, it smells like orange peel and green radish peel.At this moment, the mouth is full of oil, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.
Take another bite, and the excess oil in the filling will slowly permeate into the interlayer of the dough during the steaming process, making it even more irresistible.The taste is greasy but not greasy, the sweetness is just right, and the aftertaste is endless.
Empress Gao, who hadn't eaten such greasy food for a long time, couldn't resist eating a whole crystal oil bag.
That night, these wives who participated in the assessment were arranged to live in the master's dormitory of the college, one room per person. Although the area is not spacious, it is better than having all internal organs.
Mi Shi was lying on the kang, still replaying the day's experience in her mind. She was very confident in her craftsmanship, and she just waited for the last two rounds of tomorrow to decide the world.
Mrs. Yao lived next door to Mrs. Mi, and she was also tossing and turning. Today, there are about [-] pastry chefs, and she also saw a lot of brilliant ones when she was steaming buns.
When she came here, she was full of confidence, but after the first match, she realized that there are many capable people. A famous steamed bun restaurant in the small Ningjiang Mansion is really not enough to look at now.
On the second day of the assessment, Empress Gao not only came by herself, but also brought out Princess Jingyao and the fifth prince.
Princess Jingyao pouted and said to Cuihua: "Mrs. Uncle, my mother said yesterday that she ate a lot of delicious food. Today I want to be a judge!"
Cuihua smiled and said, "Of course it's okay, it's up to the princess to help us taste the dishes!"
The siblings were very happy, touching their stomachs, it was obvious that they were not full from breakfast.
After a night's rest, some people were refreshed, some had black eye sockets, and finally they all showed up at the gathering place on time.
Cuihua nodded to the wives: "Thank you for your hard work. In the second round today, I have 85 picks in this bucket, 35 of which are for pastry masters, and the rest are local cuisines. Each pick has dishes, vegetables or Rice noodles, please make reasonable use of the ingredients you have drawn, the time is still two hours, and the timing will start after drawing lots to collect the ingredients."
This second round made everyone a little nervous. The unknown represents a lot of uncertainty.
Mi Shi nervously picked out one that looked pleasing to her eyes, took the stick and went to the big kitchen to get the ingredients. She was lucky today, and got a piece of tofu, half a catty each of pork and fish.
There are a lot of shrimp skins and mushrooms in the condiment section, and she plans to make Yong Tau Foo.Stir-fry the shrimp skin over low heat until it becomes crispy, and then use a stone pestle to grind the shrimp into powder in a stone mortar.
Pork and fish are chopped into puree, mixed with egg whites, and then chopped mushrooms and shrimp powder are added, seasoned with salt, oil, and pepper.
Dig out holes in the tofu, stuff the seasoned meat stuffing in, and fry in oil over low heat until both sides are golden.
Take another casserole, add oil and sauté the ginger slices and garlic sprouts until fragrant, add the stuffed tofu, add chicken broth and bring to a boil, after it is cooked through, add the sauce (put some soy sauce in the sauce), sprinkle with chopped green onion and simmer for a while .
Even though the Yong Tau Foo has absorbed the chicken broth, the outer skin is still firm and golden in color, and the inner is as tender as curdled fat. Once you bite into it, the aroma is overflowing, and after swallowing, it still lingers on your teeth.
The fifth prince, who had eaten stuffed tofu, narrowed his eyes for joy, and pointed at the casserole, expressing that he wanted another piece!
There are more than 50 dishes and more than 30 pasta dishes, even if you only eat one bite of each, the jury will be overwhelmed.
"Mother, this review is very suitable for Yaoyao, it would be even better if we come to the review once a month!"
The Fifth Prince nodded repeatedly, his stomach was bulging, and the dishes in the palace were not as tasty as today.
This made Gao Huanggong laugh. Those who didn't know, thought they couldn't eat at home. These two children, who are typical of the smell of the pot, like other people's food.
After the lunch break, the final round of written exams.
There are two questions in the written test. The first is self-introduction, which requires a detailed description of the dishes you are good at; the second question, if you are hired as the master of the culinary academy, how will you carry out your work?
Everyone didn't expect that there would be written test questions. Since they all require literacy and hyphenation, let's take an on-site test.
Mi's handwriting is very common, after all, she only started to learn it after marriage, but she writes every stroke very carefully, the stricter the requirements, the more rare the job is.
Yao's regular script has its own style. When women in Daxia first practiced calligraphy, most of them practiced hairpin lower regular script.But Yao's father, who wrote in regular script, was well-known in the local area.Her brothers and sisters have been Lin's father's copybooks since they were young.
Unexpectedly, one day, she could still stand out from the crowd of competitors with her good handwriting. After reading Yao's answer, Empress Gao praised Yao's answer again and again, good handwriting!
As expected, both Mi and Yao came to the end and were successfully admitted to the Women's Culinary Academy, and the results of the assessment were announced on the same day.
For the thirty or so who were not selected, Cuihua also comforted them: "All of you were selected by prefects from all over the world to come to Beijing, and the two-day assessment also shows that you are excellent. It's a pity that our enrollment quota for this year Limited, but I can make a promise here that the academy will give priority to everyone when recruiting masters."
The loser: Let's go back and practice more, there is still hope!
The Empress of the Honorable Mountain Chief also left the palace that day to join in the fun.
