After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 140 This dish is called Lamb Stir-fried with Green Onions
Master Zhao and others started cooking their own specialties.

Knowing that Butler Deng was eager to take people back to prepare for the evening banquet, everyone did not cook dishes that were too complicated and time-consuming, and tried to pick dishes that were not time-consuming but easy to make good.

About a quarter of an hour later, everyone's dishes were served one after another, and Butler Deng stepped forward to taste them one by one.

Master Zhao makes a dish of ice sprouts with silver strands. He steams cabbage hearts, wild rice shoots, and asparagus in soup stock, and then simmers them with fresh milk to get a soup that is as delicious as snow.

The taste is fresh and sweet, and the mouth is soft and tender.

This dish is very popular in Huixianlou.

It should be said that Master Zhao is not a good person, but the food he makes is nothing to say.

However, Butler Deng tasted Master Zhao's silver ice sprouts and said nothing.

After tasting the Bijian soup made by Master Xiao Gao again, he still said nothing and even frowned slightly.

After tasting more than a dozen dishes, Butler Deng still looked gloomy.

It's not that the food cooked by the chef at Huixianlou is not delicious, but...it's nothing new.

The guests attending the Shangyuan Night Banquet tonight are all rich or noble. Most of them come from aristocratic families and have extraordinary knowledge.

If the dishes at the banquet were all ordinary delicacies that can be tasted in restaurants, the banquet would probably not be satisfactory.

If he hadn't heard that Master Gao was the royal chef from the previous imperial palace and had many secret recipes, the county magistrate would not have allowed himself to invite him.

Who would have thought that it would end up like this.

Butler Deng shook his head, turned around and left without saying a word.

This Huixian Tower was so disappointing. He had to quickly find another chef candidate while he still had some time.

Shopkeeper Chen's heart sank, "Steward Deng, please wait a moment. I have already sent someone to find Master Gao. We will definitely find him."

At this time, the guy he sent to find someone came back.

"How's it going? Have you found Master Gao?"

"Shopkeeper, I couldn't find it."

Shopkeeper Chen's expression suddenly faded. It was over, it was really over now.

Butler Deng snorted and walked out.

At this moment, a strong and overbearing fragrance wafted out. The fragrance was unheard of, but it penetrated straight into people's stomachs, making people unable to stop.

Butler Deng couldn't help but stop and followed the scent to the servant's room behind Huixian Tower.

A handsome young man was squatting on the porch, fanning a small stove.

That aroma came from a strange pot on the stove.

This young man is none other than Erxi.

When he went to the kitchen to serve food, he happened to bump into Butler Deng questioning shopkeeper Chen. He probably guessed the cause and effect of the matter, and immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

But he is just a waiter and cannot participate in the competition between chefs. If he recommends himself rashly, he may make shopkeeper Chen and Butler Deng unhappy.

He believes that instead of taking the initiative, it is better to attract people to take the bait.

So he asked a colleague with whom he was close to cover his shift for a while. He went to the servant's room, took out a small iron pot he brought from home, lit a fire on the stove, and cooked a dish of fried mutton with green onions.

The mutton and green onions blend together in the iron pot, and after a stir-fry, the aroma is completely evaporated and spreads far and wide.

Erxi also deliberately prepared a fan, which seemed to be fanning the fire, but in fact it was fanning the aroma escaping around the iron pot to spread it over a wider area.

Look, doesn’t this attract people here?
Butler Deng stepped forward quickly and asked, "What are you cooking?"

Shopkeeper Chen urged urgently: "Lin Erxi, tell me quickly." He saw a turn of events in Butler Deng's expression.

Erxi: "Go back to the shopkeeper, this is mutton stir-fried with green onions."

Butler Deng read it again: "Pork fried with green onions... bring you chopsticks."

Shopkeeper Chen turned around and ordered: "Quick, bring a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks."

The bowl and chopsticks were brought, and Butler Deng took a chopstick of mutton from the pot and tasted it.

He nodded while eating.

The mutton is extremely tender, fresh and fragrant. When you take a bite, all the juices inside will come out. The taste is wonderful and leaves people with endless aftertaste.

After swallowing, he picked up another chopstick and ate three chopsticks before he stopped still.

He turned around and asked dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are not kind. Your restaurant has a new delicacy like this. Why don't you bring it out? You are hiding it from me."

Shopkeeper Chen: "Here, Butler Deng, I'm not hiding it. I only found out today that this Lin Erxi is not the cook of our restaurant, but a waiter."

Butler Deng's eyes flashed, "Oh? Guys? It seems that your Huixianlou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. A small guy can actually make such delicious food."

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed after hearing this.

When Butler Deng tasted the dishes cooked by Master Zhao and the others just now, he didn't say a word. However, when it was Lin Erxi's turn to cook the mutton stir-fried with green onions, he said it was delicious.

It shows that he really likes it.

Butler Deng asked Lin Erxi again: "Besides this fried mutton with green onions, do you know how to cook other dishes?"

Lin Erxi glanced at Shopkeeper Chen.

Shopkeeper Chen was anxious, "What do you think I'm doing? Answer Butler Deng's words truthfully."

The word "truthfully" is emphasized.

He knew that Lin Erxi secretly learned cooking from Master Gao, but since one was willing to learn and the other was willing to teach, he didn't interfere much.

Looking back now, it's a good thing I didn't intervene in the first place.

Erxi: "In addition to stir-fried mutton with green onions, I can also make braised pork, steamed prawns with garlic vermicelli, and stir-fried chicken with chestnuts..."

I reported the names of dozens of dishes in one breath, and none of them had the same name, and all of them I had never heard of.

Butler Deng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Shopkeeper Chen was dumbfounded.

Finally Erxi said: "In addition, I can also cook some of Master Gao's specialty dishes."

Butler Deng put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Haha, okay, great. I went to see Master Gao. Unexpectedly, God sent me another Lin Erxi. Come, follow me to the county magistrate's house. Tonight's Shangyuan Night Banquet. It’s up to you to take charge!”

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed, "This is a great thing, Lin Erxi, when you go to the county magistrate's house, you must do your job well. Don't let our reputation of Huixian Tower fall."

Erxi nodded seriously, "Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Master Zhao rushed over after hearing this, "Shopkeeper, Lin Erxi is too young. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the situation. Why don't we send an experienced old man to follow him?"

These words reminded Shopkeeper Chen, "What you said makes sense."

Master Zhao's eyes flashed with joy, this candidate must be him.

Without Lao Gao, who else in this building is more qualified than him?
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Chen called Xiao Gao the next second, "You and Lin Erxi go together. Remember, Lin Erxi comes first in everything."

Xiao Gao glanced at Master Zhao, who looked embarrassed, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I know, shopkeeper."
