my lord, please eat

The accounts of this quarter have been checked, and the emperor has not assigned Xing Yihong any other tasks, so the prince has nothing to do.

So he began to help his daughter-in-law copy the diet recipes.Because he has quite good medical skills, he is very particular about copying.In addition to being directly divided into several notebooks for recording, some unreasonable prescriptions that were at least inconsistent with Daheng's medication rules were discarded or simply modified.

Gong Xiaoyong felt that her prince was really easy to use!However, when he thought about the past half month, that guy always greeted himself with the few things he exchanged from the instant exchange website... He felt like gnashing his teeth again.Sure enough, I can't feel pity in my heart!Too much womanly benevolence is not acceptable!Such a wolf with a big tail just needs to use up all his energy, so that he can relax a lot at night! ! !

After half a month, there were as many as five copies of the selected medicinal recipes, and the prince decided to stop there.There are not one thousand but eight hundred of these medicated diets. If you think about the diversity, you must prepare for adding new products from time to time in the future.Moreover, the Herbal Cuisine Workshop is mainly food-based after all. Among these prescriptions, they have to focus on selecting some dishes in the town store, and most of the targeted ones cannot be directly listed on the menu.What's more, these prescriptions are picked out, and it is only after making that it is decided whether they can be used, how to use them, and how many fine adjustments need to be made.After all, these are two different time and space.

There are plenty of people who taste it, Master Lu, Uncle Liu, Sister Wu, Brother An, Brother Mo, Sister Mo, Second Brother Mo and even the emperor are willing to join the tasting camp.But Gong Xiaoyong is the only one who can do it!This made the princess unhappy.

"Don't bring such a thing! It's okay to study a few dishes and make them for everyone to enjoy. Let me try to make a few hundred dishes, and treat me as a fool!! I won't do it!"

The prince smiled, and hugged the concubine in his arms: "Of course. I don't want my wife to work so hard."

The princess bared her teeth: "Get out! Don't call me that!"

The prince continued: "Okay. Then it's still called my wife."

The princess stretched out her claws: "Shut up! Can you put forward some constructive opinions at this time? Don't ask me, can I? It's been hard work!!"

The prince Shun Mao: "It seems that my princess is really worried. But don't worry, I have already sent someone to recruit a cook."

The princess frowned: "Then is there any way to keep these formulas secret?"

The prince nodded: "Naturally, the person who really helps you to try the cooking has to be directly appointed by the emperor from the imperial dining room. After all, this is also the point of the doctor Mo. It's just that other people in the kitchen and the helper should be on guard. So the hired cook Or the cooks are all under the death contract. In our Daheng, if the slave of the death contract betrays the master, it is a serious crime."

Although the feudal system was a bit evil, it still had some benefits.At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the recipe spreading out quickly.Looking into the future, Gong Xiaoyong feels that if medicinal food is really accepted by Daheng people, he will be happy to share some easy-to-learn and cheap recipes with the general public.But for the real secret recipe, he is still very cautious and stingy.

The restaurant opened by the most trusted imperial physician in the eyes of the emperor is unknown to the people. It is said that it is a delicious and curable medicinal food.This Yiyun Villa has not yet opened, and even the decoration has not been completed, and it is almost becoming a household name.And there are many people who are willing to find cooks and kitchen handymen in such a place with a backstage, even if they sign a dead contract.The most important thing is that people are not looking for kitchen staff with deep experience, nor are they looking for people from aristocratic families, but they are looking for young people with good physique and smart minds.It doesn't matter whether you were a master chef or an apprentice before.

This made many young people elated all of a sudden.After all, it may take half a lifetime to go from an apprentice to a stove.Some may not be able to survive.And most of these young people who are apprentices are from families who can't afford to eat and can't afford to support so many people.If they can pass the Yiyun Manor exam this time, the death contract will give 100 taels of silver. Whether it is for themselves or their family members, it will be very difficult to find.

The reason why Xing Yihong chose these people as his target was because of considerations.First of all, only such people can buy and sign a death contract, which is safe and reliable.Secondly, it can also avoid some aristocratic families related to dignitaries, which is another layer of security.There is no capital betrayal without more backstage.Thirdly, such people are obedient and easy to discipline. They are not masters in the first place, so they are more able to accept new things.The mind is also usually more flexible.

To sum up, Wang Hao and Doctor Mo are very satisfied.And so things settled down.

On the thirteenth day of June, the assessment was conducted in the first courtyard of Yiyun Village, which is the main building.Of course, someone will do the research on candidates in advance.

Since you are looking for a cook, even if you are helping the cook, the most important thing to compare is cooking skills.No matter how apprentices can be accepted, it is impossible not to know how to cook even one dish.Of course, in addition to helping the kitchen, they also recruit kitchen handymen. Although these people are also dead contracts, they don't need to compete.After all, if Xie Cai can't wash dishes, it's impossible to stay.

It should be said that this was the second time that Gong Xiaoyong sat in the referee's seat.But last time it was just a sideshow, and no one let him judge.This time is different, as one of the bosses and the most important chef at present, he has absolute "power of life and death".So when he sat here today, he felt a lot of pressure. "Nimma, I'm actually more nervous than other people's exams." He muttered in a low voice, squinting at Mo Xingyu, who was sitting extremely upright, and Wu Wenyou, who was relaxed but serious beside him.The mood of these two should not be much better than their own.It's really... balanced!

Both Mo Xingyun and Xing Yihong were supposed to come today.But the former was thought to have a headache after the emperor retired, so he hurriedly recruited him back.Although Gong Xiaoyong thinks that this must be the emperor's narrow-mindedness again!The latter was temporarily avoided because he didn't want to make too much publicity.But people are watching from upstairs, but Xiaoyong always feels that this guy is actually trying to be lazy!

Forty people were finally selected to participate in the competition.The number is indeed quite a lot.But in the end only half was left, so the scene was quite intense.

The questions for the assessment were thought up temporarily, so naturally there was no possibility of cheating.Gong Xiaoyong's question is actually relatively simple. After all, most of these people are apprentices. There is a difference between apprentices and apprentices in this era. The chef in charge will not teach you things, even if you are caught. Stealing learning may also lead to beating and scolding, so those who can learn some skills are those who have a heart.

Gong Xiaoyong asked five questions.

The first one: a bowl of clear soup.It doesn't matter what is added in it, the important thing is that it tastes good.

The second one: make a dish with white fungus.It doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold, it's both sweet and bitter.The most important thing is also delicious.

The third one: use tangerine peel as a dish.Cook a meat dish, choose the meat at will.

Fourth: Cook a serving of rice in a small casserole.Just white rice.There can only be two accessories in it, there is no limit to what it is.

Fifth: Make a pasta with sesame and flour.There is no limit to the taste.

The five things Gong Xiaoyong asked for are not difficult, but the simplest things are often the most challenging.Just like what he said to others before.Under the same ingredients and regulations, it is most valuable to make different things.He felt that among the 40 people, there could be someone who made him happy.In the end, you can also pick out those with acceptable cooking skills to stay.After all, it is convenient for a real chef in charge to use these novices for the time being. Anyway, the emperor said to send three imperial chefs over, and they were not in a hurry.

The newly renovated main building was filled with fireworks.The already hot weather plus such a move made everyone feel a little stuffy.Fortunately, the main building has been remodeled into a fully transparent decoration that can be opened on all sides.As long as the windows on all sides are opened, the first floor will look like a huge pavilion four meters high.It didn't make these participants too uncomfortable.

The five questions are made in order.And the first bowl of clear soup is a key for everyone.After all, the first impression is very important, and everyone hopes to have a good start.

Forty people, that is, forty soups, a small sip per person, is also worthwhile.However, there are a few soups that are enough for the princess to drop Pass just by looking at and smelling them.He didn't expect that someone would be so eager for quick success, and put a lot of good things when they saw that the materials were used for nothing.But a bowl of clear soup is first clear, not only clear in color, but also clear in taste.It doesn't have to be light, but it must be clear.Thick and greasy feeling is absolutely undesirable.Some people's soup smelled really strong, but the obvious oily spots on it made people lose their appetite just by looking at it.Although such a requirement might be harsh to these people, on such a hot day, serving a bowl of oily hot soup with overly strong spices in it is really almost meaningless.

Among the forty people, what Gong Xiaoyong admired the most was the soup made by three of them.

Ho fresh soup made by one of them.At this time, making this soup is not only in season, but also not greasy.The meat of the river crab is stewed with shrimp and mussel meat, and then these things are fished out.Just using salt to adjust, even if there is only clear soup in a bowl, it is delicious enough.

Another person made cold soup.It is hot and sour taste.Although the feeling of hot and sour is not offensive, but it is very good to cooperate with each other.In fact, compared to the various cold noodle soups that Gong Xiaoyong had tasted in his previous life, this one was much worse.But it is not easy to do this.

The last one that pleased him the most was that a young man actually made mixed juice.This is definitely considered cheating, but in Daheng, few people make fruit juice, even if they sometimes use fruit juice puree, it is also added to dishes for seasoning or desserts.There are still a few that are typed out separately as drinks.So since it is not included in the drinks, it is not an exaggeration to count it as soup.This icy watermelon juice is a mix of peach and plum juice.This kind of sweet and sour and icy feeling really makes people feel a little cool in the heat.The mood has also improved a lot.

And the prince upstairs also saw the different expressions of his princess.He paid more attention to the few people Xiaoyong paid special attention to. "Wang Tianfu, go and show me the family backgrounds of those people."

Wang Tianfu lowered his head, "I'll do it now, slave. What do you mean, you want to keep these few people in advance?" After all, everything about family background has been investigated beforehand.

Xing Yihong said: "Since Xiaoyong likes them, let's take some of them away." There will be no shortage of people at the foot of the imperial city, how can the emperor tire Mo Xingyun?I still have to take the opportunity to snatch four or five for my daughter-in-law. This is a good time.
