food queen

Chapter 178
Another four young eunuchs came up with trays and put eight kinds of palace-made dim sum on them.

Han Qian looked down and saw: mung bean cake, chestnut cake, yam cake, osmanthus cake, kidney bean roll, hibiscus roll, lotus roll, mandarin duck roll.

Han Jin saw that each of these pastries was exquisitely made, and he felt very emotional in his heart—it is something from the palace after all, and it is pleasing to the eye just looking at it like this.Han Qian just smiled, and didn't have the slightest appetite - she knew that although these things looked good, they always tasted a little worse than the dim sum made by the cook at home.

The waiting time is always boring.

Zhang Ruixiang was not familiar with Han Qian at first, and he didn't dare to talk too much because he couldn't figure out the temperament of this little master, so Han Qian lazily leaned on the cushion of the big armchair and began to doze off.

Han Jin couldn't help but took a piece of hibiscus roll and put it in his mouth, but he also sighed in disappointment and put the rest back.

The maid next to him handed over the teacup, and with the sweetness of Sydney Chuanbei tea, Han Jin swallowed the dim sum in his mouth, thinking that no wonder His Majesty would call the little aunt to help choose the imperial cook, the dim sum feelings in this palace are just It's just a decoration, there's only one appearance left!

About two quarters of an hour later, Han Qian took a nap, and the dishes of the twenty cooks in front had already been cooked.

Before Zhang Ruixiang could call, Han Qian woke up from her doze - because she smelled the smell of soy sauce mushrooms.

"Princess, please." Apple next to him handed over a glass of warm boiled water.

Han Qian took it and took a sip, rinsed his mouth and spat it into the spittoon.Zhang Ruixiang waved Buddha dust at the little eunuch who was standing next to him, and the little eunuch came forward and knelt at Han Qian's feet with a dish of fragrant mushrooms in sauce.

Han Qian took a small piece of mushroom with chopsticks and sniffed it first, then smiled lightly and said, "Beijing-flavored yellow sauce, the secret recipe of Laosan's on Chengxi Road, it's a good thing."

"The little princess is indeed extremely wise." Zhang Ruixiang flattered him with a smile.

Han Qian smiled and ignored Zhang Ruixiang, just took a small piece of mushroom with chopsticks, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and turned around to spit it into the small gold silk enamel spittoon held by Xiangcheng.

Zhang Ruixiang waved his hand, the little eunuch who was holding the dishes stepped back respectfully, and another one came forward.

Han Qian still rinsed his mouth, then tasted the food, took notes carefully, nodded and swallowed.

In this cycle, after the [-] courses of soy-flavored mountain mushrooms were tasted one by one, Apple hurriedly handed over a cup of clear tea to Han Qian to rinse his mouth, and then offered him the Dahongpao to drink.

Among the twenty people, Han Qian selected ten people, and the other ten people were not eliminated, but went to prepare another dish for Han Qian to taste. If Han Qian thought it was good, these people still had the opportunity to participate in the next round. round of selection.

Zhang Ruixiang took out the eliminated brand and announced it, and naturally someone took the eliminated cook out.The first [-] dishes have just been prepared here, and the next [-] dishes have also been delivered.

To be fair, the first course is all Mushrooms with Sauce. 120 Taste the four sauce-flavored mountain mushrooms one by one, and you have to distinguish the good from the bad, which made Han Jin, who was watching from the sidelines, feel very incredible.

These more than 100 dishes are the same, what difference can be made?Even if everyone's cooking skills are different, it's not that bad, right?How do you see that the expression on my little aunt's face is different every time she tastes a dish?

120 four people were divided into six groups, and the last group was six people.

Rao is that all the processes are arranged in full swing, and it is past lunch time after this round of tossing.

After Yun Shuo left the early court, he was pestered by Xiao Lin and other cabinet ministers to talk about political affairs for a long time. Finally, Xiao Lin saw that their majesty was really impatient, so he suppressed the rest of the unimportant things , With a few ministers back.

"Your Majesty, the little princess is still in the imperial dining room." Wu Miao hurried forward and said back and forth.

"Let's go and have a look." Yun Shuo put the tea cup in his hand, got up and walked out.Wu Miao hurriedly took a sable cloak to catch up with and put it on the emperor before he went out.

It is a big deal for the imperial dining room that the emperor enters the imperial dining room.Not only the cooks and cooks who came to participate in the selection, even Zhang Ruixiang, the chief executive of the imperial dining room, had no idea at all.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this is the teaching of a sage!
The imperial dining room was knelt down from the inside to the outside, and the voices of "Long live, long live" kept coming and going.

Han Qian put the teacup on the table at hand, slowly got up to welcome out the door, saw Yun Shuo, who was wrapped in a black mink velvet cloak, striding towards him, then stepped out of the threshold and down the steps, and went forward to salute.

"Forget it." Yun Shuo grabbed her, looked at Zhang Ruixiang who was kneeling next to him, and said with a frown, "There is no rush, let's stop here today. The princess is still young, if you are tired If you are sick, even if you have ten heads, it is not enough to chop off."

Zhang Ruixiang was sweating all over from fright, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and agreed repeatedly.

"Let's go." Yun Shuo pulled Han Qian and walked out. It's not so important to choose a royal chef.

Han Qian took Han Jin and his group of maids and women away by Yun Shuo, leaving hundreds of people in the imperial dining room staring at each other.

"Eunuch Zhang, what's the next special dish for all the cooks?"

"What's the specialty? The little princess was taken away by His Majesty, who did they cook for? Back off, back off! Everyone go back!" Zhang Ruixiang waved his hand impatiently, then raised his eyes and asked: "What's your majesty's afternoon meal?" How's the meal preparation going? Hurry up and take a look! Are you really tired of working?!"

"Yes, yes..." The little eunuch next to him hurriedly agreed and ran away.

Zhang Ruixiang looked back at the 56 people selected by Han Qian and the remaining dozens of people who were ready to fight for another chance, sighed, and turned to go to the imperial dining room.

No matter who tastes more than 100 of the same dishes in the morning, he will not have any appetite.Han Qian was like this at the moment, seeing a table full of food, but didn't even bother to move his chopsticks.Yun Shuo personally brought a bowl of pigeon soup to her with a spoon, and Han Qian shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat it."

"What's the matter? Is there something unhappy?" Yun Shuo looked at her sullen little face and asked suspiciously.

Han Qian sighed helplessly: "No, I just have no appetite. I feel full after seeing these dishes."

"Is that so?" Yun Shuo took the soup bowl back, turned his head and glanced at the people standing beside him, and sighed, "I also know that these things from the imperial dining room cannot enter your mouth, or we can go out of the palace quietly Looking for something to eat?"

Han Qian shook his head and said listlessly, "Forget it, I'm too tired today."

"This guy Zhang Ruixiang is so careless in his work." Yun Shuo frowned and looked at Wu Miao, Wu Miao's face turned pale with fright, and he was about to bow out.But Han Qian stopped him: "Wait a minute, I just complained casually, and nothing really happened. If you deal with him like this, who will dare to work in the palace in the future?"
