……

City Lord's Mansion, the backyard.

Two huge kitchens were built here, each with more than a dozen stoves.

Dong Qian arrived late and only occupied a dark stove in the corner.

She glanced over and found that there was one less dish of meat sauce on her stove than on the other stoves.

Meat sauce is a unique sauce in Yancheng. It is made from fresh meat through complicated procedures. It is used to season vegetables and give them a meaty flavor.

It is impossible for people in the City Lord's Mansion to make such low-level mistakes. The only possibility is that they were instigated by others.

No need to think about who this person is.

Dong Qian knew the importance of meat sauce in the next game, and was not prepared to tolerate such little tricks. She immediately raised her hands.

The steward standing nearby looked over.

"There is a portion of meat sauce missing from my stove. I must have accidentally missed one portion when distributing it. Can you give me a replacement portion?"

The steward has seen a lot of things, and he can probably tell what happened at a glance.

He directly gave Dong Qian another portion of meat sauce.

The materials were finally complete, and Dong Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Cheng Ruhua's face next to him became a little gloomy.

The gong rang three times, and a group of servants from the city lord's palace came in carrying the dishes they needed. When they got closer, Dong Qian could see clearly what they were.

It turned out to be a whole piece of pig's trotter, and even pig hair could be seen on it.

Nobles rarely eat pig's trotters. Even farmers dislike the pig's trotters because they are dirty, so no one eats them.

The city lord actually wanted to use pig's trotters as test questions. It was a wonderful idea.

Sure enough, many chefs changed their expressions when they got the pig's trotters.

You look at me and I look at you, but no one is the first to move.

Of course Dong Qian can do it. She lived too many poor lives in her previous life. Not to mention pig trotters, she can even do pig trotters that everyone hates. In the end, she can even make a living by doing it and earn enough money to travel to the capital. .

After getting the pig's trotters, Dong Qian immediately lit up the stove, dry-cooked the iron pot without adding any oil, took the hairy part of the pig's trotters and put it in the pot and roasted it until the pig's trotters were slightly yellow and all the pig hairs were gone. .

Chen Yao, the cook at the kitchen next door, saw Dong Qian handling the pig's trotters quickly, and without saying a word, she came over with the pig's trotters and threw them in front of Dong Qian.

"Hey, you took care of it for me." Chen Yao held the pig's trotters in disgust and wanted to block her nostrils with her other hand.

Dong Qian ignored her and used the knife to scratch the browned meat on the pig's trotters.

Chen Yao, the daughter of the owner of Zuixian Restaurant in the city, doesn't care if she's not good at cooking, but has a good temper.

Zuixianlou is the best restaurant in Yancheng.

In the previous life, after something happened to the Qin family, Zuixianlou annexed Haohan Restaurant and drove away all the workers of Haohan Restaurant, leaving them with nowhere to go.

If Dong Qian wants to build Haohan Restaurant, she will inevitably become the enemy of Zuixian Restaurant.

Therefore, she had no intention of looking good to Chen Yao.

"Hey, did you hear that? I am the daughter of the Zuixian Tower. If I give you a chance to help me, you should be grateful."

Chen Yao looked at Dong Qian dissatisfied.

The person who asked the questions in the competition didn't know what they were thinking. They actually used such lowly materials as the test questions and asked them to cook.

How could she do something that was not on the table?

Then she can only ask others to help her.

But Dong Qian still ignored her and moved her hands faster.

She looked even more dissatisfied as she watched the pig's trotters change in appearance, but her own pig's trotters were still full of pig hair.

She immediately dropped her pig's trotters and tried to snatch the pig's trotters from Dong Qian's hand.

"give me!"

Dong Qian clenched her pig's trotter tightly, exerted a strong force and turned sideways. Chen Yao then poofed and faced down towards her red-hot iron pot.

Chen Yao felt the red iron pot coming towards her face and screamed in fright.

"Help, help!!"

She closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she was going to be burned and disfigured.

When her face was about to touch the hot iron pot, Dong Qian reached out and held Chen Yao's head.

The hot breath hit Chen Yao's face.

Chen Yao opened her eyes, trembling with fear.

"Sister Chen Yao, what's wrong with you?" Dong Qian looked at Chen Yao in surprise, with concern on her face, "This iron pot is red hot. If you plunge in like this, it will be cooked."

"The game has just begun, don't be impatient."

The sound spread lightly to several nearby stoves, making people feel chills all over.

Everyone saw Chen Yao's embarrassment.

No one dared to come out and speak to Dong Qian.

But Dong Qian took care of Chen Yao lightly, and was so frightened that Chen Yao couldn't move now, her eyes full of fear.

Chen Yao sat down on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and did not dare to mess around again.

People around her no longer dared to look at her peasant woman clothes and looked down upon her.

Dong Qian used a sharp bone-chopping knife to dismantle the pig's trotters into the size she wanted, brushed them with a layer of oil and roasted them on a charcoal fire. She didn't take them out until the surface of the pig's trotters was golden and hard.

The cooks on both sides used ordinary stewing methods, stewing the pig's trotters until they were as tender as meat, competing to see whose secret recipe tasted better.

The same goes for Cheng Ruhua. She spent so long processing the pig's trotters that there wasn't even enough time to cook them.

But Dong Qian was not in a hurry, she was skillful and neat. She grilled the pork first to make the outside of the pig skin harden and prevent it from becoming soft. Then she steamed it for half an hour. When the pig's trotters were cooked through, Dong Qian The pig's trotters were shaved off the bones, leaving only pieces of meat.

Then Dong Qian's hand accurately picked up the various spices on the table, added the meat sauce, poured it into the pot of boiling water, and brought it to a boil.

The cooks on both sides had already prepared their own pig's trotters. Seeing that Dong Qian's method of making pig's trotters was very strange, they were fascinated for a while.

"Chef Dong's quick thinking is beyond comparison."

"First grill it, the pig skin will be firm and elastic, then steam it to make the meat soft and tender, and then dip it in the sauce. It is much more novel and refreshing than simply stewing it."

"Everything we cook is the same. Chef Dong's pig's trotters is not only unique, but also has a unique taste."

Everyone looked at Dong Qian with great admiration.

Cheng Ruhua saw that everyone was praising Dong Qian, and the jealousy in her eyes became even worse.

She glared at Dong Qian resentfully: "Dong Qian, don't get too proud too early, everything has just begun."

While everyone was surrounding Dong Qian, she approached inadvertently and added something to Dong Qian's ingredients.

As soon as something like this is discovered, Dong Qian will be finished.

After doing all this, Cheng Ruhua sneered and turned back to look at his trotters.

When Dong Qian came back to add seasonings, she sensitively discovered that something was wrong with her food.

Among the reddish-brown anises, there are a few black grasses.

This thing is poisonous!

She checked everything before cooking and found no grass.

Could it be that Cheng Ruhua added him when he came here just now?

Dong Qian calmly picked out the grass from the octagonal anise, and then glanced at Cheng Ruhua.

Cheng Ruhua was looking at her nervously, looking guilty.

It really was her fault.

Dong Qian snorted coldly and continued cooking.

Soon, the time has come.

Dong Qian's dishes are also ready and just ready to be plated.

The city owner tasted it with Liu Kun and other judges.

Soon, I tasted Dong Qian’s dishes.

Dong Qian watched Liu Kun move his chopsticks, only dipped a little bit of the soup, licked it and quickly put it down. He didn't eat the pig's trotters at all.

He must have known that Cheng Ruhua put mango grass in his spices, so he didn't dare to eat it randomly.

"The pig's trotters are soft but not greasy, spicy but not losing the original taste of the pig's trotters. It tastes great!"

The city lord was full of praise, but Liu Kun frowned: "These pig's trotters have a faint bitter taste."

All the judges were stunned.

"Bitter taste? Why is it bitter?"

"I didn't eat it."

"This pig's trotters is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious pig's trotters."

You look at me, I look at you.

Liu Kun came from the capital. Although everyone didn't feel bitter, it was not easy to refute Liu Kun.

Only the city lord took another bite of Dong Qian's pig's trotters, and there was indeed no bitter taste.

"My lord, did you taste the bitter taste? What do you think left the bitter taste?"

Dong Qian spoke, and she looked at Liu Kun with a smile.

When she discovered Mangcao, she deliberately kept it quiet.

She just wanted Liu Kun and Cheng Ruhua to suffer for themselves.
