cook maid concubine

Chapter 101
"You want me to compare cooking with you?" Ji Shuxuan froze for a moment, his face was slightly ugly, and he couldn't help but regret that he had spoken too much just now.

Qian Hongxian saw his reaction in his eyes, secretly amused, and after the color of the other party's face changed from black, red, blue and white, he said unhurriedly: "Young master, you are joking, the principle of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen is that slaves are still knew."

"It's better than cooking!" Ji Shuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Then what do you say is better?"

Qian Hongxian smiled and said: "My lord also knows that the servant girl is just a cook. She has never read any books since she was a child. She is not as good as those ladies who are not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you compare dishes!"

"Trying dishes? What do you mean?" Ji Shuxuan looked handsomely at her, puzzled.Could it be that the dishes are delicious?How does this compare?
Qian Hongxian saw that he had never heard of it before, so he explained: "Simply speaking, it is to compare the level of understanding of the ingredients. There are many methods, such as smelling the aroma to recognize the food, or tasting the soup to identify the ingredients. Mr. Ji was born in a noble family, and he is familiar with all places. Famous dishes, you must have a good understanding of food. To be fair, you can designate the place and method of the competition and the cook, what do you think?"

"Okay." Ji Shuxuan felt that it was quite fair, and he seemed to have no reason to object, so he said, "In this case, let Xiaojin arrange it! I heard that that guy has several restaurants in the city, so he can pick one at random." Family, let that guy be the host, so I can compare myself with you."

He is no better than cooking, and he really doesn't believe that he can't compare to this girl when compared to eating vegetables.

After speaking, he asked the girl to go to Ji Nanjin's yard to spread the word.

Ji Nanjin didn't say anything when she found out, and sent someone to go directly to the Juxuan Building on Qingshi Street.

An hour later, there was an extra carriage at the entrance of the old house. Ji Shuxuan led Qian Hongxian and got into the carriage with Ji Nanjin, and went straight to Juxuan Building.

Juxuanlou is the largest restaurant in Linxiang City. It was lunch time and the restaurant was overcrowded.

As soon as Ji Nanjin and the others appeared, they were invited to the private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man about forty years old. After taking everyone to the private room, he retreated to the door and asked Ji Nanjin respectfully: "My lord, everything you ordered is ready, may I serve the food now?" ?"

Ji Nanjin nodded, and the man withdrew immediately.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came back, followed by several people, each holding a wooden tray, and a large semicircular cover was placed on top of the tray, and it was impossible to see what was inside the cover.

The shopkeeper didn't directly let the waiters serve the food, but signaled the one in front to come forward, and put the tray in his hand on a long table temporarily prepared near the door.He raised his hand again, motioning for another person to move the half-person-high screen next to him, just covering the dishes on the table.Only then did he say to Ji Nanjin in the private room: "My lord, you can start now."

Ji Nanjin nodded, turned to Ji Shuxuan and Qian Hongxian and said, "Since it's a competition, to be fair, I asked the chefs in the restaurant to cook a special dish. The shopkeeper will open the cover later, and you have time for a cup of tea. Say the answer, and if it exceeds the time, it will be regarded as giving up automatically."

Ji Shuxuan yelled on the spot, "It's too far away, and it's still covered by a screen, how can you guess?"
