Chapter 246: Eliminated
The first level is a talent show. The order is determined by drawing lots and there is no time limit.
Tu Mi was the eighth to appear, and Zhu Huaizhen was the 108th.
"Your Highness, gourmet appreciation is also suitable for you." Tu Mi whispered.
The first lady, the second lady, and the third lady all showed off their cooking skills.
Their mother is the cook, and her dishes are signature dishes in all the major restaurants.
The first lady prepared a banquet for the Great Qi Dynasty.
Xiaolingzhi, Hongqiuju, Ninglujiang, Osmanthus mash, Hunyangmohu, Shuilianduzhi, Fantijianlu, Cifeihanxiang, refer to ancient books, original flavor.
In addition to the judges, spectators who want to taste the delicious dishes cooked by this lady can pay ten taels of silver, and the price is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Zhu Huaizhen decisively paid twenty taels of silver and took Tu Mi to taste it together.
"It's not cooked enough." Zhu Huaizhen chewed slowly and said softly.
Sure enough, the first lady was eliminated.
The second lady made Zhu Huaizhen’s favorite dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
It also cost ten taels of silver to buy a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Zhu Huaizhen didn't pay this time.
She felt that the fragrance was not pure enough and there was no need to waste her tongue on it.
So, the second lady was also eliminated.
The third lady made crab dish.
Forty large crabs, all cleaned and filled with meat, coated with peppers, ginger, garlic and flour, and then stewed with sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar. They are fragrant, crispy and delicious.
This dish may seem simple, but it is difficult to satisfy people.
Zhu Huaizhen was the first to pay twenty taels of silver, and then he pulled Tu Mi over and asked them to smash it together.
"Your Highness, this crab is even more delicious than the ones you usually eat." Tu Mi showed a look of amazement.
After that, the third lady was selected, but there was no surprise.
From this, it seems that she had already made up her mind.
However, her name had never been heard of in any of the major restaurants in Jiangcheng, which made Zhu Huaizhen secretly suspicious.
Then, there was the fourth lady, the fifth lady, the sixth lady, and the seventh lady. The first two competed in piano skills, and the last two compared embroidery skills. In each case, only one lady won.
It was Tu Mi's turn. Tu Mi was extremely nervous and her hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
"Tu Mi, there has been no sword dance performance before, you should be fine." Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly, and his words of comfort seemed a little perfunctory.
Tu Mi heard that her prince didn't care about the outcome, which made her even more uneasy.
So, she used all her life's skills to create a violent storm.
Although the sword energy did not contain any murderous intent, it was so powerful that Zhu Huaizhen did not dare to blink.
However, Zhu Huaizhen knew that Tu Mi would not be selected.
The judges were all men, and there was no hope for men. Women were too powerful, especially the men of Southern Chu, who had suffered greatly from the harm during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Chu.
When Tu Mi heard that she was not selected, she couldn't believe it.
She asked herself if she had performed the sword dance with ninety percent of her skill.
If she knew whether there were plum blossoms nearby, she could have created a scene of flying flowers all over the city, which would have been very beautiful.
"Tu Mi, don't bother with them. I admire you." Zhu Huaizhen hugged Tu Mi.
