Marrying Mrs. Hou and making a living by relying on her circle of food friends

Chapter 56 No ingredients
Guo'er saw the anxious look on the person's face and quickly asked, "Miss Gu, what's wrong?"

"Guo'er, go out the back door now and see if there is anyone selling these ingredients outside. Buy them quickly. Remember, be quick and don't get discovered." Gu Yunyue greeted quickly.

Although Guo'er didn't know what happened, she also knew that today's dinner was the face of the Hou Mansion and she must not make a fool of herself.

With this thought, she immediately left the Hou Mansion.

Today's street market is so dark that it's hard to see anyone else except some vendors closing their stalls.

She asked several stalls in succession, but they didn't have the ingredients she needed.

Sweat broke out on Guo'er's forehead.

She thought for a moment, then immediately rushed back to the Hou Mansion and reported the matter to Gu Yunyue.

"Ms. Gu, are these ingredients important? You can't find these things outside at all. Some are sold out, and some have closed their stalls. If it's not important, why not just order this dish."

As soon as Guo'er finished speaking, she saw the sadness on Gu Yunyue's face.

She said calmly: "That dish is lotus blood duck."

"What!?" Guo'er couldn't help but be shocked.

You must know that many people came here today just for this "Lotus Blood Duck".

Gu Yunyue began to pace around. If the dishes were suddenly changed at this time, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the dignitaries and guests, and even affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion. She could not take risks.

Master He originally wanted to come over and ask Gu Yunyue about the ingredients, but looking at her helpless look, he knew that things were not going well.

He thought for a while and then stepped forward and said: "Mrs. Hou, it's useless to think about it here. Why don't we go over together and ask other cooks to see if there are any other ways."

"That's fine." Gu Yunyue had no other choice but to listen to their opinions.

Sure enough, when Master He told the others about this, their faces were also shrouded in dark clouds.

Tian Xia No. [-] Floor also often encounters this kind of situation where the dishes are not enough. However, in this case, they will ask the guests to change dishes.

But right now, this group of people are all here for the Lotus Blood Duck.

So it can't be replaced.

Chef Xu looked at the sad faces of these people and immediately spoke: "Okay, it's not a big deal. If there is anything worth worrying about, think about it carefully. There will always be a way."

"But……"

This is related to the face of the Hou Mansion.

Not to mention, if it really fails in the end, their reputation as the best in the world will also be affected.

"Chef He, where do we usually purchase the vegetables and meat on the first floor in the world?" Chef Xu was calm and composed, clearly looking like he had made up his mind.

The person hesitated for a moment and then said: "Usually, someone will deliver it to the first floor of the world. If sometimes I really lack food, I will go to the vendors outside to buy it..."

"That's right!" Master He smiled broadly and said, "Mrs. Hou, get ready."

Gu Yunyue looked at the two people's sudden excitement, and was still a little troubled: "We haven't gathered the ingredients yet, so there's nothing we can do..."

Make bricks without straw.

She really saw it today.

"I asked Master Zhang and the others to go back to the first floor of the world to get it. There is a special supply there. Xiao Guo has quick legs and feet. He went to say hello to the man first, so that the two groups of people could meet each other." Master He hurriedly said explain.At the end, he patted his chest: "Your business is our top priority in the world, and I will never let you be caught blind."

"Okay." After hearing this, Gu Yunyue's eyes immediately lit up.

She bowed deeply: "Thank you very much. After this is over, I will definitely ask the prince to come to thank you personally."

With the ingredients, Gu Yunyue quickly began to dance up and down in the kitchen. With the help of other chefs, the speed was even faster. Next, only the duck blood was prepared by Master Zhang.

Fortunately, the ingredients for the duck blood are not up front, and there is still enough time.

However, the people in front were a little unable to sit still.

When Guo'er saw the boy coming over, he hesitated for a few words, and then hurriedly came to tell people: "Madam, please hurry up, the Marquis has already sent someone to rush you."

Gu Yunyue took a look at the food in her pot. It would be time to cook the duck blood soon. If it was too late...

Just when she was worried, Master Zhang's voice finally sounded outside: "It's coming! It's coming!"

Master He processed the duck blood almost immediately and put it into the pot at the right time, so that the last dish of "Lotus Blood Duck" was served to the table perfectly without any delay.

"This lotus blood duck really deserves its reputation." The dignitaries present were full of praise after eating it.

Cao Zhi, the young master of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, has always been at odds with Su Qilin. He originally wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a 'Lotus Blood Duck'.

Not enough, he quickly raised another question: "Master Su, didn't you say that the chef of this Lotus Blood Duck is your wife? But we all know that the surname of this Lotus Blood Duck contestant is Gu, not Lu. .”

When these words were spoken, Guoer was following Gu Yunyue.

Her heart skipped a beat, fearing that someone would find out about her substitute marriage.

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Yunyue raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, and spoke softly, "Which family does this young master belong to? Why doesn't he understand any truth?"

"No one in the capital knows that the surname of Madam Hou in He'an House is Lu, and even the people in the palace know it. If I use my real name to participate in the competition, wouldn't it make people doubt my ability."

Cao Zhi was speechless.

Su Qilin didn't expect that one day Gu Yunyue's sharp tongue would be able to resolve the problem so easily.

Guo'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

This banquet can be said to be a great success. From the banquet layout to the taste of the dishes, everything captured the favor of everyone present.

Naturally, Gu Yunyue became famous, and this banquet directly made her famous from the officialdom to the streets.

Even a three-year-old baby knows that there is a Mrs. Hou in the capital who cooks delicious food. One bite of her food will bring her back to the world.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Yunyue's reputation spread to the palace.

The emperor had heard that a dark horse had emerged in the preliminary round of the cooking competition. He originally thought it was just a fluke, but now he couldn't help but become curious and said quickly: "Fang Sheng, you saw this Madam Hou with your own eyes last time. Go and invite her over, I also want to have a taste of how good this Madam Hou’s craftsmanship is."

"Yes." Fang Sheng immediately accepted the order.

When the news reached the Hou Mansion, Gu Yunyue was taking a nap on the bed.
