Chapter 516: Clever Hands
"Who is No. 8 Yang Ruo, come in!" Hearing someone calling him, Yang Ruo hurriedly tightened his steps and walked forward, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.
And Wang Jianting, who was about to talk to the woman next to him, introduced the powerful judge, was petrified on the spot, only to hear him mutter: "She, she turned out to be my little junior sister." ”
And the woman also opened her mouth in surprise and said in surprise: "She is Yang Ruo." Senior brother, you don't even know your little sister? ”
"Haha, great, it's really good, you said that this is not considered a fate between our brothers and sisters, and we met like this." Wang Jianting really has enough nerves, in such a situation, he can still laugh, and he still has a look of flying eyebrows.
Now it was the turn of the woman beside him, who was speechless and stroked her face. I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen someone with such thick skin.
Yang Ruo didn't know what kind of reaction the two people behind her would have when she knew that she was Yang Ruo, in short, when she went upstairs, she looked a little nervous.
Fortunately, as soon as she arrived above, someone immediately greeted her warmly. turned out to be someone she knew, the senior sister who had spoken to her just now.
After seeing her come up, she immediately smiled at her, and then said with a smile: "Little junior sister, when I finally see you, I will say that you will definitely get good results." Go ahead, they might ask you some questions, but don't be afraid. Yang Ruo nodded at her gratefully, and then whispered thank you.
Yang Ruoluo walked to the front generously, stood in front of everyone, blessed slightly, and then raised a pair of smart and energetic eyes, and said crisply and powerfully. "Hello everyone, I'm No. 8 Yang Ruo."
The appearance of the slim and slim stood in front of everyone, like a budding green lotus, which suddenly made people feel bright. Her down-to-earth attitude and crisp words are like injecting a spring into everyone's heart, refreshing people's hearts. Yang Ruo's appearance undoubtedly left a good impression on everyone.
"You are Yang Ruo from Xijing, and you made this Sifang tofu?" Lord Si Zheng, who did not participate in everyone's discussion, finally spoke, and he looked at Yang Ruo, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and his mood couldn't help but get better.
Because Yang Ruo is the first person to get a full score at present, she looks quite good, and she is still the youngest. Such a spiritual woman, it is easy to cultivate at a young age, if they are included in the imperial dining room, plus ** will definitely have a good performance in the future.
"Yes, sir." Yang Ruo raised his head again and said, and at a glance, he saw that the man who was sitting in a very conspicuous position in the middle finally put down the food in his hand, took out a white handkerchief with an elegant posture, and wiped it on the side of his mouth. Then he looked up and looked at her.
It was the first time Yang Ruo had seen a man's eating appearance, and he was so good-looking. She remembered the last time she saw Lord Showa's food, and she thought it was beautiful. This will make her look at the eating appearance of the man in front of her, and she will not lose to the lord of Showa at all.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, do these people from extraordinary backgrounds even have the same posture of eating.
The man has a pair of extraordinarily good-looking peach blossom eyes, deep eyes, and very energetic. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person, but he was wearing a jade crown. Wearing a dark purple brocade suit, the sleeves and the piping at the neckline are embroidered with intricate five-clawed golden dragons and tuanyun, the workmanship of the clothing is not only fine, it is a tribute at a glance, this dress is worn on his body with a dignified appearance, it looks extraordinary, noble.
When Yang Ruo first came to Kyoto, she didn't recognize any of the emperor's relatives except Gongsun Jin, she only knew that this person's identity was extremely noble. didn't know that he was the king of Ming who had an extraordinary relationship with Gongsun Jin.
However, there are two stunning beautiful men around Yang Ruo, and her aesthetics are not ordinarily high. Therefore, the man in front of her, in her eyes, is just a little more noble in temperament.
Yang Ruo secretly observed this person's eating appearance, and the expression on his face was also ever-changing and very interesting, she thought that others hadn't noticed, but that person didn't let go of the expression on her face with sharp eyes.
The man saw that the expression on Yang Ruo's face was very interesting, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly, and then he opened the peach blossom eyes that were very confusing, looked at Yang Ruo fixedly, and said: "Is this tofu, the taste is okay, girl, tell me, how did you think of making Sifang tofu in such a short time." Could it be that you are a little girl, making a tofu, and still remembering the peace of the world in your heart? ”
Seeing the slightly scrutinizing eyes of the other man, Yang Ruo's heart couldn't help but tighten, because this person's eyes were too powerful. It seems that you can see through all of people's minds at a glance.
Yang Ruo tried to make eye contact with him, but he was defeated immediately. Because she always felt that if she looked at him again, he seemed to really see through her own careful thoughts. So in order not to let him see through herself, she hurriedly looked away, only looking at the empty space in front of her.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't seem to be so nervous, and then she explained, "This master must have misunderstood the meaning of the little girl." When I made this square tofu, I just thought that I would make a tofu that tasted different from ordinary tastes, so that people who tasted this piece of tofu would have an experience that was not used in the ordinary. I didn't think of anything else, I thought, if people can taste the bittersweet and sour of life from a piece of the most ordinary tofu, wouldn't it be a happy thing in life. ”
"But aren't you afraid, will others give up and continue tasting when they taste the bitterness in front of them?" King Ming didn't seem to be ready to let her go, and continued to ask.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ruo glanced at him quickly, and asked in a somewhat playful tone: "So do you think that after you eat my Sifang tofu, you will give up and continue to taste?" ”
King Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard Yang Ruo's rhetorical question, and then smiled: "No!" Because this bitterness is so special, I can't think of what ingredients you use to make it. Even if it's bitter, there is an urge to keep eating. ”
Yang Ruo couldn't help but smile faintly, "I just added some bitter gourd juice to it, bitter gourd clears the lungs, brightens the eyes, and the juice also has this effect, so I thought of putting it in the square tofu and using it for seasoning." ”
"The juice of bitter gourd? You'd even think of using this. But ordinary people don't eat this. At this time, Lord Shangshan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but interject with interest.
Yang Ruo didn't take Lord Shangshan's question to heart, but continued: "Yes, bitter gourd is estimated to be a lot of people who don't like to eat it, because of its bitter taste, in fact, as long as its bitterness is slightly adjusted, it will become a very good delicacy." So I don't think you have to reject bitter gourd, but like it. ”
Yang Ruo saw that there were some ingredients on the table next to her, which happened to be available to her, so she walked over. The people on the side, seeing that she was actually going to take something, wanted to stop her.
was directly frightened back by a flying knife eye from King Ming.
I saw that Yang Ruo immediately reached out and took it, a cucumber, plus a honeydew melon. Some fruit milk, then mashed with a mill, then half a bitter gourd was taken, plus some nectar.
After a while, a crystal clear bitter gourd was made. "Please taste it, how does this dessert bitter gourd taste like?"
"Bitter gourd cite, the name is elegant, and the color is crystal clear, which looks like a very appetizing feeling." After judging the judgment, Lord Si Zheng added: "But how it tastes, we have to wait until after tasting." ”
As a woman, Yang Ruo has always paid great attention to self-cultivation, and those small desserts after meals are her favorite. Seeing that Lord Shangshan seemed to like it very much, she couldn't help but add another sentence. "This bitter gourd is eaten by women and has the effect of losing weight and nourishing their beauty, and Lord Shangshan can eat more on weekdays."
When it comes to beauty, it is estimated that few women will not be interested. Sure enough, Li Shangshan smiled at her, showing a friendly expression. Then he also put his attention on the bitter gourd in his hand.
After only one bite, the expression on her face was very rich, and after another bite, she was already a little eager to finish eating. Until she finished eating it all, she still had some unfinished business. She hurriedly looked at the hands of a few people next to her, and saw that all the bitter gourd in them had bottomed out, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought only women liked to eat this." ”
Lord Si Zheng took a bite and tasted it carefully in his mouth: "This bitter gourd dice, it is really time to present it at this time." We ate a few dishes in the past, and it happened to be a little greasy in our mouths. This Yang Ruo is a little interesting. ”
"This dessert has a sweet but not greasy taste, and the color is even more cute, reaching the color and aroma of the food. This may seem simple, but it actually involves a lot of curves. Li Shangshan added two more sentences.
Lord Si Zheng nodded, and said: "Recently, I heard that the concubine Niangniang's appetite has not been very good, I think, if you dedicate this bitter gourd to Niangniang, she should like it." ”
As soon as Lord Si Zheng said this, Li Shangshan suddenly thought of it, and the thoughts of the two coincided this time. They immediately glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and said something to King Ming.
After hearing this, King Ming said, "You take people away so quickly, it doesn't seem to be in line with your rules!" ”
Lord Si Zheng said with a little anxiety on his face: "Lord Wang, you don't know which of our mothers' temper, in the past few days, she has been losing her temper for several days. ”
King Ming thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but you have to give someone a good reason, it's not a legitimate reason, you can't let people go like this without knowing it." ”
Lord Si Zheng and Li Shangshan glanced at each other, and immediately said, "This subordinate also thought of it, although the prince can rest assured." I think it's also a test for her to bring her there this time. If she can satisfy her mother, it means that she has the blessing to stay. If we can't handle this well, it's not too late for us to put her down again. ”
King Ming lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said: "Talent is a good talent, but you really can't bear to push her to the cusp." Then say that you are the one whom I recommended, and if anything happens, you only have to come and tell the king.
When Lord Si Zheng heard King Ming say this, his mouth fell in surprise. I thought they had some personal relationship. But he didn't dare to ask openly, so he asked in a roundabout way: "I don't know if the prince has been to Xingruo Tower?" ”
"Xingruolou?"
Seeing that King Ming's expression was that he had never been there, Lord Si Zheng said: "I heard that the owner of this restaurant is opened in the name of Yang Ruo, and the Star King Wine that has been praised by the emperor is also from Yang Ruo's hand. "Lord Si Zheng actually didn't just make these two dishes because of Yang Ruo, so he directly lifted her up. It's because of the many investigations made about her, and the fact that their imperial dining room has been under a lot of pressure recently, that they came up with this method.
Now if King Ming comes forward and he recommends Yang Ruo, then things will be much easier. If something goes wrong, the responsibility of their imperial dining room is not so great.
"You go down, when you have time, study more desserts and the like, I think the lady in the palace will be very interested in this." Hearing Li Shangshan say this, Yang Ruo's heart couldn't help but move. The lady in the palace, is it also included? Yang Ruo thought that he wanted to see Meiling and still hadn't thought of any way, maybe after entering the palace, he would have a chance.
Yang Ruo hurriedly made a submissive appearance and replied humbly: "It's my lord!" ”
