peasant girl allure

Chapter 258
Changing the embroidery competition to a cooking competition is also because those few people win the embroidery competition every year, which is not worth seeing at all, and the queen is tired of it.

Cooking is different, although every girl can learn it, but no one will put a lot of effort into it, otherwise what is the use of the cook at home.

Cooking is a compulsory course because there is such a custom in the empire: the second day after a new daughter-in-law enters the house, she needs to set up rules and cook a table of dishes for the whole family.

Although the custom is like this, in fact, most of them are cooked by the cook. The new wife only needs to put the dishes in the pot on the plate and serve them on the table.

Therefore, when most girls learn to cook, they only need to learn one thing, which is stew and tonic soup.

As for why most of them learn how to stew and nourish soup seriously, everyone knows it well, so there is no need to explain it.

The competition was held in the Imperial Dining Room.

The queen, the wife of the prime minister, the wife of the Duke's Mansion and the wives of the six ministers are the referees.

For the sake of fairness, lest a certain wife be biased against a certain girl, the queen made a unified proposition that everyone needs to use fish to make a meal, whether it is soup, vegetables or other, as long as it is made of fish.

The girls were dumbfounded when they heard this!

"Do fish?"

"How about the fish?"

"Can fish be stewed?"

"I don't even like fish, I've never eaten it, what should I do?"

……

Wails everywhere!

"Girls can choose a fish by themselves, and then let the eunuch in the imperial dining room clean it up." The maid beside the queen said to everyone.

Everyone looked at the fish swimming in the wooden barrels, completely dumbfounded.

What kind of fish are these?
It really knows itself, but I don't know it!

All the beautiful girls, you look at me and I look at you, saying that there is no way to start.

Xiao'er went to the wooden barrel and picked out the most common grass carp.

I didn't ask the supervisor to help me with it. I cleaned the fish by myself, then removed the bones, and cut the fish fillets. All the actions were done in one go.

All this was done in less than half an hour.

All the girls are dumbfounded, this is the end of the deal?
Don't say that the girls present were dumbfounded, even the royal cooks, eunuchs, and maids in the imperial dining room were dumbfounded.

How can County Master Rui'an's knife skills seem to be better than those of them who have been immersed in the kitchen for many years?

"Mr. Rui'an County, how long have you practiced this sword skill? Who did you learn from? Even I feel inferior, and I am willing to bow down." The head chef of the imperial dining room looked at the fish fillets that were the same size and as thick as paper, and praised him sincerely.

"I have learned from my mother since I was a child, and I will become familiar with it after a lot of practice." Xiao'er replied while starting to process the meat slices.

"Hmph! As expected, you are born with mud legs, and you are so proficient at such a dirty job, and you are the only one who shows it off!" Hearing what the chef said, Chu Die couldn't help but attack Xiao'er with her background.

You must know that in this circle, a noble background is more important than anything else.

"What's the matter with the mud-legged people? Is it hindering you? Or do the mud-legged people need you to support them? So you have such a big opinion on the mud-legged people?! You also grew up on the food grown by the mud-legged people, Why do you look down on mud legs so much? May I ask Miss Chu, do you behave like a white-eyed wolf that you don't know well?"

"Who are you calling a white-eyed wolf!" Chu Die was so angry that her face stinks.

Seeing this, Li Yunning pulled Chudie: "Okay, let me say a few words, it's because you were rude first, why don't you compare it to a competition?"

After she said this, she smiled at Xiao'er and said, "Master Rui'an, don't be surprised, Miss Chu has no other intentions."

She was helping County Lord Rui'an out of the siege, so she should write down this feeling no matter what.

It's really a waste of saliva to say too much, everyone knows that she has no other meaning, only one meaning, which is to look down on her low-born self.

But it really doesn't matter to me whether other people think highly of me or not.

It doesn't matter where people come from, what matters is where they are going.

Xiao'er ignored the two of them, and lowered her head to do her job seriously.

Seeing Xiao'er's skillful movements, Li Yuning said to the eunuch next to him, "What kind of fish did County Lord Rui'an choose? I want one too. Then please ask my father-in-law to help me handle the fish like County Lord Rui'an did."

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook fish yourself, as long as someone can cook it, you can learn how to cook it yourself, and the taste will not be too far away.

The other girls didn't understand what they said, and then everyone found the backbone, and they didn't panic anymore. After ordering the eunuchs, they watched Xiaoer's actions without blinking, and then Follow along in a hurry.

Xiao'er makes raw fish porridge. After the white porridge is soft and sticky, add marinated fish slices. When the porridge in the pot boils again and the fish turns white, put it in a bowl and sprinkle a few chopped green onions on it.

While cooking the porridge, Xiaoer fried the fish bones and fish heads by the way, and then boiled a fish soup. A little cilantro.

Very simple and homely food.

The maid stepped forward to test the porridge and soup silver needle made by Xiao'er, divided them into small bowls, and took them out.

Seeing this, other people also set up their pots and put them in bowls.For a while, the chickens were flying and the dogs were jumping, and they were in a hurry.

The queen and all the wives saw that what was brought out was a bowl of porridge and milky white soup, which looked a bit ordinary, but they all felt that this was normal. If the food was brought out with good color and fragrance, they should be suspicious.

A few people gracefully spooned a small spoonful of it on their noses and smelled it, it smelled good!

Then I ate it carefully.

Huh?tasty!

The taste is fresh and sweet with a little onion fragrance, and the fish meat is tender and refreshing. The few people quickly finished the porridge in the small bowl, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Delicious!
Then a few people tried the bowl of milky white soup again, it was delicious!
"Is this soup made of fish and milk?" Mrs. Prime Minister asked uncertainly.

"No, if there is milk, why doesn't it have any sweet taste of milk? Instead, it has a vaguely spicy taste."

"Try the next dish first." The first dish served was so delicious that the queen was full of expectations for the next meal.

Several people put down their doubts, rinsed their mouths, and began to taste the next meal.

"Is this also fish porridge? The color is quite special. It's yellow, did you add something to it?"

"This porridge seems to have a paste smell."

……

Several people took a spoonful and ate it.

evil~
I feel sick!
Several people looked at the queen together, and if the queen vomited, they would follow suit decisively.

It's a pity that the queen swallowed it anyway.

The ladies wanted to cry: Can this be eaten?Queen, human life is at stake, this is no joke!

Forget it, just die!I don't know whose daughter made something that is really harmful, the prime minister's wife cursed inwardly.
