There is no secret under the big tree at the entrance of the alley. Women who love to chat know that A Yao's "mother" is coming. It is said that she stayed for a few days and then left. For this reason, the dressing table, bedding hanger and other new supplies were sent to A Yao's house on the same day.

"I heard that she is very beautiful? How beautiful can she be." Someone was curious and went to A Yao's house to inquire, but either no one answered the door, or A Yao opened the door, sent the person back with Wen Yan and Wen Yu, and A Yao's mother's appearance became a mystery.

Aunt Wang knew, but Aunt Wang didn't say it. What a good girl. It's not easy to raise A Yao alone. It's not easy to come here. Less listening to the words outsiders' mouths to avoid damaging their mood. She rotted her words in her stomach to prevent them from being more curious. When they see someone, they may be hurt and may say something sour.

A Yao in the house was commanded to circle around.

The dressing table was placed by the window, facing the lotus pond, and the water in the pond reflected the sky. Looking at the moon put the rouge, thrush and hair oil she brought, directed A Yao to move the washbasin handkerchiefs to the dressing table, laying floral cloth on the wooden table, and then putting a simple black glaze pickled plum vase on the corner table.

"I see that there are golden osmanthus planted in your yard. You can fold a piece of osmanthus and put it in it, and you don't need to take care of it." Wangyue was finally satisfied. She looked like a girl's home. She took A Yao to the dressing table and sat down, and began to gesture to the hairpin she brought in in the mirror.

"Master, I bought the rouge and water powder for you, I can't use it."

"Your and your hairpin must be dressed up."

A Yao was sad and depressed: "When the hairpin... Isn't it just to invite someone to have a meal?"

I put a hairpin on my head, invited someone to have a meal, and told me that she was an adult, isn’t this the core of the hairpin…

Wangyue was so angry that she poked A Yao's face and couldn't help but pinch her again: "I knew you would think so." She sighed, "If you want to invite someone to have a meal, who do you want to invite?"

Who can invite? A Yao can count it with a slap: "Aunt Wang and Yu Niang, Sun Niang, Pei Shuo and Mo Xingle."

Wangyue narrowed her eyes, "You won't invite Mrs. Yan and Ying Niang from Nanxun Caotang?"

"Forehead……"

"Since you are going to treat me to dinner, you have already thought about what kind of dishes to serve at that time?" Wangyue continued to ask.

"Uh..." The master asked for letting go.

Wangyue: "Fortunately, I came early. I gave you a day to think about it. Should I invite someone to watch the ceremony or to have someone to eat on your birthday. If it is the former, I will prepare a table of good dishes and never treat the people who come to watch the ceremony unfairly. If it is the latter... you can make it yourself."

A Yao raised her hand weakly, "Master, I'm afraid tomorrow won't work. I want to participate in the cooking competition of the official fourth department and sixth bureau."

...

Including the number of times, this should be the third cooking competition this year.

A Yao still saw the chef in the bird's nest in the cooking competition on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The second competition included a lot of chefs' participation. By the third time, the official fourth department and sixth bureau had already become famous. Some families with relatively wealthy families were willing to spend less than a dump of money to ask the chef to cook at their own home. The dump also included the ingredients, so they didn't have to worry about it from scratch.

For cooks, the most important thing is to be able to gain fame through the Four Departments and Six Bureaus, so as to achieve the purpose of cooking for wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials.

A Yao noticed that the chef who stood out in the first cooking competition was invited to the eldest princess's mansion for a summer banquet, and the winner of the second cooking competition was invited to the official wife's mansion for a banquet and rewarded money. She did not doubt that the winner of the third cooking competition might be invited by one of the initiators of the Fourth Division and Sixth Bureau, but it would never be the eldest princess.

The grades are lowered again and again, which is closely related to the promotion of the Fourth Department and Sixth Bureau. The Fourth Department and Sixth Bureau are becoming more and more famous, and the olive branches delivered in the cooking competition will become smaller and smaller, but they are replaced by hard currency such as gold, silver and cloth.

She must strive to be the first in this cooking competition and become famous as soon as possible. This principle applies everywhere.

The cooking competition was crowded, and the venue was held in the largest restaurant in Beijing. A whole restaurant was booked down, with five judges and fifteen chefs from famous main shops in Beijing to judge. At that time, they will enter the kitchen with ten eunuchs and maids from the Princess's Mansion to observe whether the contestants had committed illegal cheating during the competition or during the process. On the second floor are shopkeepers from various stores or chefs who came to learn from the scriptures.

Wangyue sat down on the second floor.

"There are quite a lot of people participating in the Double Ninth Festival."

"No, it is said that after this year, the eldest princess let the people below take charge... The weight of the official lady is not as heavy as that of the eldest princess." Someone said and lowered his voice, afraid that the mystery would be known to others. In fact, you can tell by looking at the number of people participating in the Double Ninth Festival on site. Everyone is not fools. They have a big restaurant and people with their own skills have already received news, and even got the questions. They have been practicing hard for a long time and are confident.

"Hey, there are still little girls participating. I have thin arms and legs. Can I get a moving pot?"

There was a lot of discussion upstairs, and the eunuch Sishen downstairs appeared to announce the topic of the competition. At this moment, a maid came up, and eunuch Sishen interrupted himself, and the maid whispered to eunuch Sishen.

With a glance, Wangyue recognized that this was her other apprentice, Bird's Nest, and stood up excitedly. She remembered the letter A Yao had sent her in advance, took a deep breath, and sat down slowly.

But shortly after she sat down, a eunuch invited her to the first floor. In the eyes of everyone's envious and speculative eyes, Wangyue followed the eunuch downstairs.

There, eunuch Sishen also announced the questions for this Double Ninth Festival:

“Unt title.”

Li Shangyin. It is difficult to part when we meet. The east wind is weak and the flowers are in lingering. After my flowers bloom, I have killed them... Oh, I have a series of words. When A Yao heard the topic, she subconsciously recited the poem, but she ended up memorizing the wrong ones.

"There is no question for this competition. There is no limit to hard dishes, cold dishes, dishes, soup or desserts, snacks, seasonal food. You need to complete it within one and a half hours. Those who have not completed it after the time have not been completed, and those who have completed it can present a judge and judge to try it out. The ingredients are right behind me. You can use bamboo plaques to hold the materials. If you need it, you can write down the materials on the side. The servants from the Four Departments and Six Bureaus will buy them for you. Sometimes cars and horses are blocked in the streets of Beijing, or the required materials may be run out, you must be responsible for your choice at that time."

The people below were in an uproar. One was that the quality of the ingredients determines the quality of the dishes. On the other hand, the earlier the dishes were presented, the bigger the winning side, and the more full the judges were, the lower the impression score.

After the eunuch Sishen finished speaking, he gave up the material area.

The chef who got the bamboo plaque flocked to the top, the good ingredients were first come first served. As for what to do, I will tell you when I get it!

“…”

Ah, how can she squeeze in?

A Yao looked at the crowd and looked down at her small body.

It’s bread when you go in, and it’s cookies when you come out.
