I got rich from food

Zheng Yaqi and her brother went to Fengshan County in a carriage together, looking at the dark woods outside the car window, she lowered the curtains a little scared, and then saw her brother looking at her with a smile, she gave him a blank look, and then closed her eyes to rest up.

Suddenly, she felt the carriage shake. Just as she was about to curse, she felt the carriage stopped. She opened the curtain and saw a fat man lying in front. Seeing his bloody face, she couldn't help but turn around. He shook his head and retched a few times.

But she couldn't just leave him alone, so she had to ask the groom to move him into the carriage, and then sent him to the medical clinic when she arrived in Fengshan County, paid the money and left.

After the owner of the clinic wiped the injured man's face, he realized that it was Boss Jin who had escaped. He hurriedly asked the waiter to report to the authorities.

Not long after, the former magistrate of Fengshan County, who had vowed to escape, turned pale when he saw his dying father-in-law, feeling as if the sky had fallen, and leaned against the corner powerlessly.

Zheng Yaqi also felt similar to him. When she arrived at the food city, she looked at the closed gate and felt that the sky was falling down. She regretted being hit by her brother with a violent attack.

And it's impossible for Zheng Yaqi's brother to deliberately use aggressive methods to get his sister here just because of Yu Xi's words.

It was all because he got the news that the third princess had appeared in Fengshan County, but in order to ensure her safety, Zheng Juntang could not reveal the news, so he could only come to Fengshan County under the pretext of delicious food.

Zheng Yaqi didn't care what her brother wanted to do. She watched Xiao Er come in with tea, so she stopped him and asked, "How about the food court opposite? Is it really that delicious?"

"Of course, it's the only delicacy in the world, and the imperial envoy will say it's good after eating it." Xiao Er and You Rongyan said, looking at him with his chest up and his head up, it's as if his family opened the food city.

After hearing Xiao Er's words, Zheng Yaqi was very looking forward to tomorrow's arrival, and couldn't wait any longer.

Time passed by little by little, and finally came the next day. Zheng Yaqi was awakened by a burst of fragrance, and her brother didn't know what to do when she got up in the morning, but she didn't mind, and took the maid directly to the food city opposite.

Looking at the dazzling array of food, she also ordered a portion, and then sat in the private room to eat. As for the unpleasantness of last night, she also forgot.

Her mouth was full of oil, and she didn't care about her status as the eldest lady. She disliked the difficulty of eating fried chicken with chopsticks, so she started it directly. Saliva, stomach also issued a "cuckoo" sound.

Zheng Yaqi realized that her maid was also hungry, so she said, "Go and sell me another fried chicken, and you can buy something else for the rest of the money."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head and started to eat the chicken, and she also dipped it in tomato sauce. She felt that it was delicious to eat with this sauce, and she burped at the end of the meal, and finally licked her fingers regardless of her image.

When the maid came back, she saw her young lady leaning on the chair with her big belly.

Seeing that the maid came back with the fried chicken, Zheng Yaqi started to eat again. The fried chicken just out of the oven was very hot, Zheng Yaqi kept sticking out her tongue from the heat, and finally could only drink milk tea to suppress it.

Zheng Yaqi spent a day in the food city Hu Chihai, while Yu Xi and Chu Nian were shopping in the market. Because there was still one day before the competition, he was very leisurely wandering around the city, while his competitor Huang Wen was walking around the market. Practicing his knife skills.

Under the shadow of swords and swords, the carrot in his hand was carved into a flower, and the apprentice next to him also said happily: "It's so fast, it was completed in a snap of the fingers, and the master has made a breakthrough again!"

(ps: One snap of the finger in ancient times = 10 seconds.)

"You little cunning, let's practice one hour of sword skills today." Huang Wen said with a smile.

The apprentice was also secretly happy, it was great that he was not punished today.

Soon it was the day of the competition, Yu Xi and Chu Nian walked to the competition place.

Seeing Chu Nian's tightly pursed lips, Yu Xi couldn't help but said, "Why are you more nervous than me?"

Just as Chu Nian was about to answer, the master of ceremonies on the high stage began to speak: "Welcome everyone to the four-yearly MasterChef Contest, this is the preliminary stage of Mishan City, the top three are eligible to go to the capital to participate in the semi-finals and even the final.

Let me introduce the contestants to you. The first one is Huang Wen from Mishan Hotel. He has participated in the God of Cooking competition many times, and his best result is fifth.

The second place is Feng Sanyue from Fengxianlou, who won the sixth place in his first participation last year.

......

......

......

No.12 is Yu Xi from Yu Nian Food City, Fengshan County. This year is his first time participating in the competition, let us wait and see.

"

When listening to the host introducing Yu Xi, the onlookers are whispering and asking: Who is Yu Xi?

Never heard of it?

Where did it come from?

After whispering to each other, they realized that they had never heard of this person.

When the master of ceremonies invited the contestants to enter the arena, they saw Yu Xi's figure, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they couldn't believe it.

"The yellow-haired kid came to make up the numbers, right?"

"Isn't this here to run with you? What can the little yellow-haired boy do?"

"What kind of delicious food can such a young person make? It seems that Xue Man is no longer the last one this year. Congratulations!"

"Hahaha, Dahai, you are so smart."

Hearing the comments from the people around him, Chu Nian frowned, then looked at them and said, "Since everyone is so committed, why don't we guess who is the number one today?"

Dahai, who congratulated Xue Mande in advance and was second to last, stood up and said, "You don't want to suppress that Yu Xi, do you?"

"That's right, dare you take a gamble with me."

"Since someone came to give money, of course I have to participate." Liu Dahai laughed and said, and then put the ten taels of silver in his hand on the blocking table next to him, and wrote that Huang Wen was the first.

The rest of the people also rushed forward, overwhelming Yu Xi to be the last one.

Yu Xi in the audience seemed to have heard their ridicule, and smiled lowly at them, which made Liu Dahai stunned for a moment, but he couldn't change his bet just because of his beauty.

Yu Xi stood at her own position, followed by a helping boy, who mainly did chores such as lighting fires and washing pots.

Because it is a royal banquet, the topic of this competition is to make three hot dishes, one cold dish, one soup, one staple food and one dessert in one morning.

Fang Xia went to the side of the original dish and followed behind with a tray. Looking at the lotus seeds on the plate, he guessed that the other party wanted to make white fungus and lotus seed porridge, but why didn't he choose white fungus?

The boy was a little puzzled, thinking he had forgotten, so he could only watch Fang Xia pick up tofu, prawns, bamboo shoots and other ingredients, but he didn't choose tremella. He reminded him that he was cheating, so he could only follow Yu Xi back.

The five judges sitting on the high platform above saw the ingredients Yu Xi took, and one of them, a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe, couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The ingredients he took are nothing new, based on his age and standard I can only cook fried prawns and tofu with shallots.”

"Don't say that, what if someone comes up with something new?" The man next to him said.

"I see what tricks he can do?" said the middle-aged man, Lu Qing, and then stared at Yu Xi intently, seeing that the first thing he handled was the piece of tofu.

But in the next second, he was attracted by Huang Wenxuan's brilliant knife skills. Seeing that the meat on the chopping board was cut into very even thin strips, and the bones in the middle were also separated, Lu Qing didn't understand how he did it at all. .

He felt that the No.1 in this year's preliminary competition belonged to Huang Wen again.

But watching Feng Sanyue carved out a phoenix in a short breath, seeing such a nimble phoenix, he couldn't help but sweat for Huang Wen. He prayed in his heart that Huang Wen must win the first place, otherwise he would lose deal.

He never imagined that Feng Sanyue had improved so fast within a year, Lu Qing could only comfort himself by saying that a dish must be complete in color and flavor, and it is useless just to look good.

As for the other players on the field, he didn't pay attention to them. In his eyes, only Huang Wen and Feng Sanyue could win the first place.

At this time, Huang Wen saw Feng Sanyue's movements from the corner of his eye, and lamented that his strength was getting stronger and stronger, and he silently changed a dish.

Over there, Yu Xi has already finished three hot dishes and one cold dish, and the main food is also steaming in the steamer.

Seeing that the time was about an hour away, he took out the lotus seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus in a leisurely manner. The servant at the side looked at the ingredients that Yu Xi brought out and couldn't figure it out. What is he going to do?

Yu Xi planned to make lotus seed cake. This is a dessert that is suitable for all ages, sweet but not greasy, but the process of making this dessert is very complicated. First, he asked the servant to get a casserole, and then put the dried lotus seeds into it. In the pot, add alkaline noodles, pour hot water and brush it with a bamboo brush until all the skin is brushed off.

The boy saw that he had spent so much effort to turn the lotus seeds into white, and couldn't help but feel a little troublesome, but he still prepared a basin of cold water according to Yu Xi's request.

At this time, Yu Xi also removed the lotus seeds, put them in a basin, and then put them in a cage. The servant squatted on the ground to make a fire. His arms were sore from fanning, so Yu Xi took out the steamer.

In front of everyone, Yu Xi was too embarrassed to use magic, so he could only use a rolling pin to turn ripe lotus seeds into lotus seed paste.

Then he made agar, the scientific name is agar. In fact, the jelly eaten in modern times is agar food. Yu Xi took the laver on the side and soaked it in alkali, washed it with water, steamed it in a pot, and then filtered it with gauze .

The servant looked at his movements, and then at the other chefs, and muttered in confusion, "Is it so troublesome to make a dessert?"

Then I watched Yu Xi put the lotus seed antler, osmanthus and other ingredients into the pot together, and listened to Yu Xi's instructions, he took out some firewood, let the fire become smaller, and slowly boiled the pot.

After the water boiled, Yu Xi poured the agar into the pot and stirred it evenly, then took it out to cool and cut it into pieces.
