Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 85: Honey
"Haha!" The two guys laughed, one of them bumped the other with his elbow: "The little lady loves the little monkey!"
"What is there to feel sorry for the little monkey, why don't the little lady feel sorry for my brother and me?" Another person looked up and down at Meng Shuangshuang, his eyes were quite explicit.
"Humph!" Meng Shuangshuang turned her head and ignored them.
The two of them are not reconciled: "Little lady, why don't you talk to your brothers, brother will take you to see the little monkey?"
"Don't think about it!" Meng Shuangshuang said disdainfully, "I don't need you, we'll see in a while."
"Oh, the little lady still looks down on people, let's go, let's play with the little monkey."
"Hey! How dare you!" Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened with anger, and her chest heaved sharply with anger. Because Ningxi and Rong Daquan told her not to act rashly here before they went in to find someone, she resisted and didn't quarrel with these people. .
Suddenly she was pulled hard, and a tall figure stood in front of her and yelled at the two guys: "Get out!"
Meng Shuangshuang stared at the piece of moon-white cloth embroidered with intricate moire patterns with silver thread, and timidly stuck his head out: "Shi, Shizi."
Jun Shaofeng frowned and looked at her: "You really know how to run. You came to Guangzhou without looking at it. Look at what you're wearing? What does it look like when you look like this?"
Meng Shuangshuang looked down suspiciously: "What's wrong with my clothes? It's fine!" After speaking, a robe was thrown over: "Put it on!"
"Why, it's so hot."
"Then go back and find something looser to put on." Jun Shaofeng said.
"Forget it, my clothes are like this." Meng Shuangshuang obediently draped his robe over his body, "Is that all right?"
"Yes." Jun Shaofeng nodded, "Go back and throw away all the clothes, let's buy new ones."
Meng's eyes lit up: "You buy it for me?"
"Of course."
"Can that be discounted?"
"What do you mean?"
"You can buy two sets of clothes for less. I want to save some money to live in a better inn and go to eat delicious food."
Jun Shaofeng was about to be mad at her: "Why are you two poor at Sungai Tower?"
Meng Shuangshuang said with a bitter face: "No, our money has been stolen, and now it is the money that Brother Rong earns by working here for others!"
"Pfft!" Jun Shaofeng couldn't help laughing, "Do you still have the jade pendant I gave you last time?"
"I'm carrying it! Fortunately, I wore it close to my body, and no one stole it." Meng Shuangshuang patted his chest, indicating that the jade pendant was being worn close to her chest by her.
Jun Shaofeng suddenly remembered the feeling of accidentally holding a full hand in the water at that time, and suddenly felt dry: "No matter where you go in the future, as long as you see a shop with the sign of the Prince of Qi's mansion, take the jade pendant. Come out and get as much money as you want."
"Really!" Meng Shuangshuang was surprised, "It turns out that this jade pendant works so well, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Who knew you would be so stupid, I didn't have time to tell you, you all ran away without a trace, alas, what a pity, we have eaten a lot of delicious food along the way!" Jun Shaofeng said deliberately .
Meng Shuangshuang really looked annoyed, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, why are you here?"
Jun Shaofeng glared at her suddenly: "I'm looking for you."
"No way!" Meng Shuangshuang was startled, "As for what?"
"You want to be beautiful! King Yu was ordered to host the cooking competition."
"Oh, so that's the case, what about you, come to eat?"
"Will you speak? I'm here to assist and serve as a judge, understand? Will your family Ningxi also come to participate in the competition? Would you like me to speak when the time comes?" to please my expression.
"No need." Meng Shuangshuang pouted, "Ningxi speaks on the basis of strength."
"Then what are you doing here?" Jun Qianyu asked.
"That's right!" Meng Shuangshuang suddenly remembered the business and told Jun Shaofeng the whole story, "You must help us with this."
Jun Shaofeng muttered, "You guys are really busy." He asked Meng Shuangshuang to take him in to find them.
Meng Shuangshuang didn't know where they went, so he had to grab a guy from the restaurant and brought out the name of Jun Shaofeng's heir.
At this time, Ningxi and Rong Daquan had just found Boss Cai, and they were discussing with him about exchanging another dish for the little monkey. Boss Cai was also a little moved. If the monkey is gone, he can still spend a lot of money to find someone. Going up the mountain to catch it, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do, but this recipe is different. If Ningxi doesn't give it to him, he has no money to buy it.
Having been a restaurant owner for so many years, he certainly knows the value of a recipe.
However, I still have to sell it for the sake of face: "How do I know this dish is worth changing with you?"
Ning Xi blinked: "As long as Boss Cai has the guts, you'll know after a try."
"Joke!" Boss Cai said, "I don't know what else I don't dare to enter if I fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water." , not only because they received less education from the Central Plains, but also because the people in the south are particularly daring to eat, any snake or insect, they dare to eat, especially Boss Cai, who is the representative who dares to eat anything.
"Brother Rong, take it out!" Ning Xi greeted Rong Daquan.
Rong Daquan came over, put a porcelain basin that he had been holding on the table, and asked someone to bring a small bowl, took out a small bottle of sauce from his arms, poured it into the bowl, and finally opened it The lid of the porcelain pot: "Boss Cai, please!"
Jun Shaofeng just came in, so he didn't bother to say hello, and ran to the table: "What's there to eat?"
I saw a light layer of golden honey in the pot, and a few **** of red meatballs soaked in the honey. When I looked closely, the meatballs were still squirming, and there were four small claws under them. , with eyes and nose, and a long tail behind him: "This is?"
Ning Xi smiled slightly: "Honey."
Jun Shaofeng fought a cold war: "I look like a little mouse with no hair?"
Meng Shuangshuang said: "Isn't it a little mouse?"
Ning Xi said: "The little mouse raised with honey for one night, dipped in the sauce and eaten raw, is said to be very delicious, does Boss Cai dare to try it?"
Boss Cai is worthy of being a person who dares to eat anything. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his chopsticks and clamped it towards a soft meat dumpling, only to hear the little mouse "squeak", beside him Everyone had goosebumps, and even Ning Xi couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
"Well, it tastes good!" Boss Cai praised, "It really deserves to be a strange dish!" After speaking, he couldn't help but go for the second one.
Meng Shuangshuang couldn't help it, she covered her mouth and ran out.
Ning Xi resisted the nausea and said, "Can Boss Cai agree to the exchange?"
"Of course." Boss Cai said cheerfully.
"Look for a little mouse that has not yet grown hair. It is better to be born four or five days old. After soaking it in honey for a day or two, you can eat it raw with the sauce." After speaking, Ning Xi took out a I just wrote the recipe for the sauce to Boss Cai, "Please also ask Boss Cai to release the little monkey as soon as possible."
Boss Cai was also unequivocal. He immediately called someone in and ordered them to go on. The rest of the wages, let them go.
Only after Ning Xi came out did he meet Jun Shaofeng well. Jun Shaofeng asked them to live with him in King Yu's hotel. Ning Xi politely refused and only borrowed from Jun Shaofeng. The silver, and explained that it would be returned in full after returning, so he called Meng Shuangshuang and Rong Daquan to go back together.
The old man who played the monkey was naturally grateful, Meng Shuangshuang reluctantly said goodbye to the little monkey named "Zhizhi", and a few people went to the inn again, but recently many people came to the city Those who participated in the cooking competition could not find an inn with vacancies for a while.
In the end, the three of them could only spend some extra money to rent a small yard and settle down.
On the second day, Jun Shaofeng didn't show up. Instead, he found the best embroidery maid in the city to tailor clothes for Meng Shuangshuang. Meng Shuangshuang encouraged Ning Xi to make a few sets too. Ning Xi thought about it. , let Xiu Niang make two sets of aprons for her, as well as matching sleeves and headscarves, which can wrap the whole body and hair tightly, ready to use when cooking.
After the clothes are ready, the cooking competition will start in a few days.
For this cooking competition, the government requisitioned the garden of a wealthy family in the city. A long shed was built in the spacious yard. Twenty stoves were arranged side by side under the shed, which could accommodate twenty people to cook at the same time.
On the opposite side of the shed is a long corridor with ten Taishi chairs in a row, and a square table in front of each chair. This is the seat of the judges.
The first competition is the primary selection. Anyone with a chef certificate can sign up for the competition. Registration is accepted at any time at the gate of the competition, and then an ingredient is drawn to make a dish, and the judges can rate it. The primary selection period is three days. During these three days, ten judges will select the 30 contestants with the highest scores among all the applicants to participate in the preliminary round after five days.
Ningxi and Rong Daquan had no doubt passed the preliminary round and got the title of the preliminary round to make a dish with chicken.
