Speaking of Dongmenjia, we have to mention Wansheng Restaurant in Bincheng. Bincheng is known as the capital of gourmet food, and Wansheng Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Bincheng.
Behind Wansheng Restaurant is the Dongmen family. The Dongmen family is a family whose heritage is food. It is said that any chef who comes from the Dongmen family can become a leader in the chef world!
Xia Jin was not familiar with this family at first, but Gao Dafu misunderstood that she was from the Dongmen family, so she went to learn more about it.
Speaking of which, the chef in the imperial kitchen was from the Dongmen family, so Xia Jin was actually interested in this competition.
Let her see what is unusual about the famous Dongmen family!
"I'll take a quick trip and say, I'll accept this challenge!" Xia Jin said.
After receiving a positive reply from Xia Jin, Old Liao stumbled away without forgetting to wipe his saliva, just like a greedy child, not to mention how excited he was.
It was afternoon now, just after lunch time, and there were few people in the Food Hall. Li Yu leaned against the door and watched Mr. Liao go away.
“Chef Dongmen’s cooking skills are indeed very good.”
Seeing Li Yu's praise, Xia Jin asked: "Compared with Bai Hao's cooking skills, who do you think is better?"
Li Yu said without hesitation: "This is not on the same level, there is no comparison. Although the food cooked by Mu Baihao is indeed delicious, Dongmenli's ability to be the chef of the Royal Kitchen should not be underestimated!"
"In order to keep him alive, my father didn't let him get tired. He only made him a meal for me, and no one else could eat it. I've tasted it several times, and the taste is as good as yours!"
When she heard Li Yu say the words "on par", Xia Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
In modern times, there are very few chefs who can compete with her. How can she meet her opponent in this world?
This makes Xia Jin look forward to it more and more!
The next day, Mr. Liao brought a set of eunuch uniforms and said:
"Chef Xia, the boy from Dongmen said that the competition is today. I'm sorry that Chef Xia will change and go to the palace with me!"
Xia Jin changed into eunuch clothes and entered the palace with Old Liao.
Walking on the long palace road, Xia Jin looked at Mr. Lia and asked, "Can Mr. Lia tell me about Dongmenli?"
"What does Chef Xia want to hear?" Mr. Liao asked.
"For example, how did he become the chef of the royal kitchen." Xia Jin was very curious about this person.
She was particularly concerned about what Prince Li Yu said: "They are on par"!
Mr. Liao nodded and said, "As for Dongmen Li entering the palace as the royal chef, it actually has something to do with me. Three years ago, I was ill and could no longer serve as the royal chef, but most of the royal chefs in the back kitchen were
As old as I am, there are too few young people, so we went out to recruit..."
The old man said slowly.
Xia Jin summarized it, that is to say, they held a competition, and in the end Dongmenli won and successfully entered the palace.
After Dongmenli entered the palace, he said he wanted to be a chef, otherwise he would not do it!
This incident alarmed the emperor. After tasting his food, the emperor agreed on the spot, so Mr. Liao retired smoothly.
"So, his cooking skills are very good?" Xia Jin touched her chin.
"Don't worry about Chef Xia. Although he is great, in my heart, Chef Xia's cooking skills are very good. We will know who loses and who wins when the time comes."
When he said this, he swallowed.
Not long after, they arrived at the imperial kitchen.
This place is much larger than Xia Jin expected. It is said to be a kitchen, but it is more like a luxuriously decorated courtyard.
Entering along the shiny path, you will see a carved wooden door decorated with glazed glass. The wooden door is open, and above the door hangs a plaque with the three characters "Imperial Kitchen" written in gold letters on a white background.
.
"Chef Xia, please!" Mr. Liao stepped over the threshold and invited Xia Jin in.
Xia Jin walked in and was stunned by the overly luxuriously decorated kitchen!
Have you ever seen a vegetable basket inlaid with gold and jade?
here has!
Have you ever seen a pure jade spice jar?
here has!
Golden oil pot... pure gold spatula, kitchen knife inlaid with gems...
This place has completely subverted Xia Jin’s understanding of kitchens!
Although, Xia Jin likes to collect kitchen utensils, and she is still a collector who can't get out of the way when she sees pots and pans.
But! She has never seen such kitchen utensils before!
"You are here!"
An intoxicating fragrance flooded into my nose. It was a milky fragrance mixed with the smell of jasmine. It smelled fresh and sweet.
Xia Jin turned around and saw a man standing behind him. The man looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a chef's hat and a white apron. His long hair was tied with a ribbon.
back.
His slender eyes were slightly raised upward, and they were a pair of standard peach blossom eyes. There was a tear mole under the corner of his eye. With the smile that raised at the corner of his mouth, there was a trace of seductive charm.
Xia Jin was stunned for a moment!
beautiful!
Summer can only think of this word!
"You must be Xia Zheng!"
Xia Jin came back to her senses, cupped her hands and said: "Chef Dongmen, I have long admired your name!"
“Each other!”
"I've been listening to Mr. Liao talking about Chef Xia, and I've always wanted to meet you. Unexpectedly, it's a little different from what I thought." He said lightly.
Xia Jin chuckled, "What does Chef Dongmen think I should be?"
"At least you have to be like a man, right?" He grabbed Xia Jin's hand, bent slightly and moved closer to Xia Jin.
"With such a small arm, can you lift a spoon? I'm afraid it would be difficult to chop big bones, right?"
Xia Jin took out her hand and put her hands on her hips.
"I think there is a big difference between what Chef Dongmen thinks and what I think!"
"Oh?" Dongmenli raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."
"Chef Dongmen seems to like to dress up very much. His fragrance is stronger than that of a woman. Is he really a chef?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere became cold.
Mr. Liao wiped his cold sweat secretly. This was a genius meeting a genius, they didn't like each other, and they succeeded in irritating each other!
However, wouldn’t it be more interesting this way?
"Chef Xia, please, let me see what you can cook with your thin arms and legs. We have agreed in advance that the pot I have here is made of black iron and is very heavy!" Dongmen Li
He said coldly.
Xia Jin smiled harmlessly and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to it!"
With that said, he walked towards the food area, without saying anything he went straight to a beef bone, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped it into several sections with a few clicks!
Then he looked at Dongmenli who was stunned.
"Chef Dongmen, please invite me too!"
Dongmenli came back to his senses. He walked over and looked at the neatly chopped cow leg bones on the chopping board. He was shocked!
You must know that the leg bones of ten-year-old cattle are very hard. Even if you want to chop it, you have to use a tool, but I have never seen anyone chop it with a kitchen knife!
“Chef Xia’s ability impresses me with admiration!”
