Not only Xiao Wenzhao boasted, but other diners also gathered around and discussed.

"This green dragon crouching in the snow~ is really wonderful."

"Exquisite is excellent, that is, "What is Xue' made of? Is it edible?"

"Yeah, if you can't eat it, no matter how beautiful the dish is, it's still a failure."

And when shopkeeper Luo saw this dish, his head buzzed, and his face turned pale.

This dish, as the name suggests, is irresistible.

But the ingredients are extremely common, just a cucumber with a bunch of "snow".

The beauty is that the cucumbers are carved into lifelike green dragons, and the pile of snow, with distinct grains and dazzling white, is like the cleanest and holy handful on the peak of the snow mountain.

Another thing is that the cucumbers are fresh and juicy, as if they have just been picked from the melon vine.

He has been in the west for so long, but he has never seen anyone selling cucumbers. During the famine years, the fields are full of sweet potatoes, so who knows how to grow cucumbers?
And this summer, how did she bring this handful of snow down from the snow-capped mountains?
Or is it true, as everyone guessed, that this 'snow' is made of other things at all, and may not be edible? It seems that this must be the case, otherwise, why is there no sign of melting the snow in such a hot day? Thinking of this, shopkeeper Luo's expression brightened a little.

If this snow can't be eaten, then it's not a dish after all, Xiao Ningxue will still lose.

He could only hope for that.

At this moment, Le Peiyan was also in shock, for he could carve a dragon so exquisitely and realistically that even the royal chef in the palace might not be able to do it.

This, was it really carved by that girl Xiao Ningxue? She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can she have such skill?
Thinking of this, Le Peiyan looked at Xiao Ningxue suspiciously.

Xiao Ningxue shrugged disapprovingly, and explained calmly.

"When I was three years old, I followed my father to conduct autopsies. I dissected countless corpses. My knife skill is as good as that of any chef. How about it? Is this green dragon still like that?"

In fact, she found a book on chef carving in her portable space, and it took her a lot of time to practice this knife skill.

This hand-knife skill is not worth mentioning in front of modern chefs, but it is more than enough to fool these ancient people. After all, no matter how powerful the cooks are in this era, they do not have carving tools as good as hers.

After hearing this explanation, Le Peiyan's doubts disappeared.

However, after learning that Xiao Ningxue had been a gangster and had an autopsy, her interest in tasting this dish was completely dispelled.

Wouldn't it be bad luck to eat a dish made by an expert?
If you want to taste it, let Xiao Wenzhao taste it.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the pile of snow on the plate, "Is this snow real snow? Can you eat it?"

Shopkeeper Luo also stared eagerly at Xiao Ningxue, sweating from nervousness, hoping that Xiao Ningxue would give a negative answer, otherwise their restaurant's face would be lost today.

It's a pity that she was afraid of something, Xiao Ningxue took a spoon with a smile, dug a spoonful of 'xue' and poured it into her mouth, and began to eat happily.

"This is sugar. It's called white granulated sugar. It's so sweet. My husband bought it from the Western Regions."

After speaking, he didn't forget to scoop up a spoonful and pass it to Wu Chongwen.

"Husband, you eat too. This is the last pack. Next time you go to the Western Regions, buy more." Wu Chongwen knew that he would be the shield of this girl, and he was well prepared and nodded with a smile on his face. .

"Okay, next time I will bring a few carriages back and give a pack to each of my relatives and friends, so that everyone can taste it." He opened his mouth and tasted the spoonful of white sugar.

After eating it, I was deeply moved. It turns out that in Xiaoxue's world, the candy made can be so sweet.

In ancient times, sugar was a rare commodity, and there were only honey and caramel made from beets, so even though he was a royal, it was the first time for Wu Chongwen to eat white sugar.

The two were eating sweets here and there, besides Le Peiyan, who thought it was unlucky, everyone at the table over there tasted the white sugar with chopsticks. You dipped one chopstick and I dipped another. I went to my heart.

Even shopkeeper Luo picked up a piece of cucumber and dipped it in sugar, put it in his mouth, and started chewing.

After eating, he had nothing to say.

This dish is sweet, crisp, and full of water. After cooking, the dessert can quench the greasy and thirst. What else can he say?
While Xiao Wenzhao ate, he asked Le Peiyan to taste it, but Le Peiyan waved his hand, looked at shopkeeper Luo and asked.

"This dish really lives up to its name, shopkeeper Luo, can you serve it?"

Shopkeeper Luo nodded dejectedly, thought for a while, and said something to save the face of the restaurant.

"It's not that the chef in our restaurant can't cook this dish, it's that the ingredients are lacking."

"Pfft~" Xiao Ningxue laughed, "I can buy the ingredients, but you can't buy them in a big restaurant? Is shopkeeper Luo telling a joke?"

Shopkeeper Luo's face was as ugly as if he had swallowed a thunderbolt, he clenched his fists tightly, and glared at Xiao Ningxue.

"Yes, Miss Xiao can buy it, but our restaurant can't buy it. There must be a problem with the purchase. I will fire him in a while. Okay, Miss Xiao, let's see your second dish." .”

Xiao Ningxue was also hungry, and she was too lazy to talk nonsense, so she directly asked Sai Dongshi to bring the second dish.

At this moment, no one dared to laugh at Xiao Ningxue, this girl should not be underestimated, as for the knife skill of "Blue Dragon Crouching Snow" just now, who can compare to it?
Now that she has cooked the first dish, will she miss the second dish? Le Peiyan didn't bother, and directly lifted the bowl that covered the plate.

I even feel a little regretful that I shouldn't have come this time. Didn't I come to witness the embarrassment of Jude Building?
This girl's husband is a businessman who often travels to the Western Regions, what strange things can't be obtained?
For example, he had never heard of white sugar, but his husband could buy it in a carriage. In this case, shopkeeper Luo could only consider himself unlucky, and he couldn't help much anyway.

After the tureen was uncovered, everyone found that the second course was a soup.

An egg lay on the deep porcelain plate, and the soup was covered with a layer of black seaweed.

It is also appropriate for the dark clouds to cover the sun.

Le Peiyan has seen laver before, it is expensive and only found in the far sea.

The ancient Shu Kingdom is an inland country, and seaweed can only be imported from Nanqi Kingdom and other neighboring countries, and he only ate it a few times at palace banquets.

It seems that this girl's man should have a big business.

What's your name? Chongwen?
How come I haven't heard of it before?
Le Peiyan still hasn't tasted this dish.

And Xiao Wenzhao naturally wanted to taste it, and even encouraged the onlookers to come and taste it. After tasting it, everyone felt that this soup was extremely delicious, a delicacy that they had never tasted before.

Unexpectedly, a simple soup can be so delicious.

Shopkeeper Luo also drank half a bowl of soup, and also felt that the taste was something his own cook couldn't make.

At this moment, he was not so angry anymore, he wiped the oil on Fatty's face, and looked at Xiao Ningxue with a smile on his face.

"Miss Xiao is very capable, why don't you just come to our Hongda firm? Our boss will definitely appreciate you and give you a good future."
