The Imperial Concubine Chef - C135

On the first day of the competition, Su Xinyu and Sun Xiguang finished preparing. The two of them discussed the details of tomorrow’s events and then went to rest. Because according to the rules, during the match, only two people from each family were allowed to come out. Therefore, there was no need to remind the other employees. Although they were both chef, their basic skills had to be solid for every chef.

However, Su Wenlan was still very nervous. Xinyu, you must be more careful tomorrow. ”

Su Xinyu smiled and nodded, “Mother, please be troubled. It was not a big deal in the first place. What’s more, Chief Officer Ji and Brother Li would be here tomorrow. No one dared to be rash. They were already regretting that they wanted to cause trouble for me. I can’t wait for it to end. Just wait until our Yuxiang Restaurant increases by another level! ”

Su Wenlan knew that her daughter was confident, but she wouldn’t be able to control herself if she was worried “facing a great enemy”. Sigh. They thought that Razor would stay here and watch over us. In the end, she even left. ”

Five days ago, Tian Liyong received the secret letter from the capital and hurried back. Su Xinyu was still a little worried about Wen Ling’s situation. However, Tian Liyong had told him before he left that this secret letter was from Wen Ling. He said that Tian Liyong had important matters with the army, then at least that meant that Wen Ling was safe and was still in charge of matters in the army. Otherwise, when he gave the order, it wouldn’t be his turn.

With this thought, he felt at ease. But at the same time, she could guess that something was about to happen. She should be prepared as well. Previously, she had wanted to wait for the old emperor to pass away and for the new emperor to ascend to the throne before deciding to open a restaurant. But Zhang Ziyi had already indicated that the Fourth Prince was slightly better, if not she would not have had the chance to buy these businesses, so he did not wait for the time. However, when the time came for the Emperor to change his ways, he had to be careful.

However, Su Xinyu’s schemes in her heart were not told to anyone. When the second day of the competition began, she still responded with a face full of smiles.

On the eighth day of the tenth month, it was a good day. There were magpies chirping on the roof early in the morning, which made everyone in Su Family happy. This is a good omen. Everything will go well today.

Su Xinyu was waiting for Sun Xiguang to come over and directly go to the competition grounds outside the city. They arrived early, the sun had just come out. But there were more people here waiting to see the show. When everyone saw that someone had arrived first and even used the Yuxiang Restaurant as a cover, they all knew who it was.

Many people started to whisper to each other. They all thought that a child like Su Xinyu actually went up to the stage and personally sparred with them. This was a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, and it did not know the depth of the competition. There were also people who said that the other restaurants were bullying their children, so how could they allow a child to get on stage? However, no one believed that Su Xinyu had the capability to cook, but that was what Su Xinyu wanted. To do a good job, surprise is the most useful thing.

Soon, everyone was gathered. After the chefs of the various restaurants and their owners had all arrived, they even clasped their hands and greeted each other. It was as if the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. However, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that if they could open up such a big stage for the competition and make the entire city aware of the yamen’s hosting, these families would have to split the profits and wins. Their relationship in the future would be difficult to determine.

Of course, there were those who ate and watched. To these people who came to watch the show, this was a good thing. Especially when each of the ten messengers was holding a large basket for them to reach into and grab a ball, the excitement in the group reached its peak.

The method to choose a judge was still in the hands of Madam Xin. Compared to the random selection that those people thought, Lady Xin felt that it was more appropriate to draw lots. After all, it was only because of this that the chances of everyone getting it were the same. Otherwise, if they were chosen, who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any tricks? These words were always spoken with closed eyes. At least, no one dared to act rashly before their eyes.

A hundred judges finished their selection. These people were brought to the back of the competition. They are not allowed to watch these people cook. And they were “isolated” from the others. The remaining players could only stand on stage and watch the match between the eight guilds. Of course, it was unknown whether the smell was torture or enjoyment.

Since it was a birthday celebration, the title of this competition would naturally be “Wishing you your birthday”. The ingredients that Li Baoxiao had given them were all very ordinary, and were basically all of the common types. Therefore, there was no way for them to use expensive ingredients to win in just a few aspects. But every cook knew. In truth, the most challenging things were the simplest ones.

Each family of three would serve two dishes of one noodle soup. Whether or not he would repeat the same question was not part of the competition’s rules, but if he did, then he would need to compare if it was good or not.

Su Xinyu prepared to use tofu and chicken paste to create a Pine Crane Evergreen. She used the humongous meat made from the chicken at home to make the appearance of a crane, then used a few vegetables to make a pine tree. Finally, she sprinkled the meat with a thin layer of transparent sauce, making it look particularly bright under the sunlight. Furthermore, no matter if it was the “pine” of the vegetable fungi or the “crane” made from the chicken of Furong, the taste was prepared in advance. Even though it was a list of ingredients, the taste was extremely rich. Just by looking at it, one would be amazed. Moreover, the taste was slightly thicker. This was because this dish was mainly for the elderly to eat. The older people’s taste buds had slightly degenerated, which was why Su Xinyu deliberately increased their taste.

The dish that Sun Xiguang completed independently was even more exquisite, it was called “Five Blessings for Life”. Fortune is usually replaced by bats in the folk, but gourds can also be regarded as a representative of Fulu. Making bats was not very pretty and did not have much volume. Therefore, Sun Xiguang used five different ingredients to carve out a gourd with colored ribbons tied on it. The word “Life” was not only limited to the carvings on the “bottle gourd”, but also the food inside the gourd. Each gourd had a longevity noodles. The noodles are slender and smooth but not hard, but they don’t break easily. Even the elderly can chew them easily, and they aren’t too soft.

Of course, the most exciting part was the snacks the two of them had worked together. Su Xinyu had used a trick. He made cakes. After all, in the modern era, one would think of a birthday cake on their own, so there was no reason for her to not use it. And the cake was something only she knew in this world. Although there was no cream in the ingredients, she could make the creamy mayonnaise from other ingredients. That was enough. Therefore, when a large golden longevity peach appeared in front of everyone, they all didn’t understand what it was. After all, other people also made longevity peach buns. However, the traditional gloves were the kind that were dyed with red. Most of the stuffing is bean paste. But the Yuxiang Restaurant seemed to be completely different. What was that pile of stuff they were smearing outside?

Su Xinyu did not care about what others did. He knew that each of these seven clans had their own abilities. She admitted that everyone had real ability. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed the business to continue for decades, so she wouldn’t have minded losing to anyone, as long as it was a just and honorable affair. Therefore, she was very relaxed and had a feeling that she was eager to try.

Looking at his own boss’s appearance, Sun Xiguang could tell that he was not the least bit nervous. “Boss, do you really not care about winning or losing?”

Su Xinyu laughed, “Of course I don’t care. You alone brought me a child, so it wouldn’t be shameful if you lost. Besides, even if we’re not in first place, we won’t be bad. Furthermore, each dish would be individually graded. Even if my dish doesn’t have a high score, your Five Blessings Lifespan is definitely going to be great. It’s because you worked so hard just now. ”

Sun Xiguang shook his head: “That’s not considered hard, more than a hundred is just when I was carving that it took a bit more effort. It wasn’t cooked in one pot. But you put so many plates on, and you’re even more tired than I am. ”

The two of them were talking to each other over here. The others were extremely nervous. This was especially true for the visiting Boss Wu, who had promised Su Xinyu a place on the stage, so he too, went on stage today. Although he had been practicing on the stove every day for the past few months, he wasn’t as calm as Su Xinyu. And more than a hundred sets was too much for him. In the end, he reduced the number of the 100 plus plates of commoners by a bit. As for how their chef would view this issue, he did not want to ask.

Only Boss Chen of the Everlasting Feast Hall could be considered relaxed. He himself did not know how to cook, so two chef s came to cook. And he didn’t feel much about winning or losing. His family always sold secret cooking meat. So even if he lost the match, it wouldn’t affect his business. However, he was now very curious about what that longevity peach buns from Su Family were, and it looked extremely fresh.

After half a day, the production process of the morning competition officially came to an end. Su Xinyu’s and Sun Xiguang’s things could both be eaten coldly. Thus, she didn’t care about the temperature at all. However, some people only had hot dishes, which was a bit of a disadvantage.

Five centenarians were invited in the same year. This was already not an easy matter for Haian City. Although there were three of them who were not even a hundred years old yet, in this era, those who were over seventy were very few, let alone over ninety.

Naturally, the teeth of these people would not be good. Moreover, his sense of taste had deteriorated. As for the quality of the food, it all depended on whether or not he could eat it. Su Xinyu was not the only one who noticed this, so the seniors were happy with their food. Especially after they ate Su Xinyu’s birthday cake, their eyes all lit up.

No one could have imagined that the inside of the golden longevity peach buns was so soft. Although the stuffing couldn’t be seen, the fragrance of milk and sweetness wafted through the air. Not only could the elders eat, they also tasted the perfect sweetness. Su Xinyu used the slightly sour taste of the mayonnaise on the outer shell, but she also used the sweet and sour taste of the fruit inside, so it was definitely sweet and not greasy. There was indeed a bit more oil, but the distribution of it on each piece of cake was nothing much.

This cake also surprised the others. Especially for Ji Linhai. He quickly called Su Xinyu over. “Brat, come over here. What is this? Why is the taste so novel? ”

Su Xinyu laughed: “This is called steamed cake, it is steamed out. “How do you like the taste?”

Ji Linhai nodded: “Delicious. I think it’s nice if I don’t like sweet things. If your aunt were to eat it, she would definitely like it very much. ”

Su Xinyu immediately understood: “What’s the big deal. I’ll make a new taste tomorrow and send it over with an aunt. Actually, there were also people who were not too sweet for Ling Ge before. Uncle, if you don’t like things that are too sweet, then that’s just right for you. “
