Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

"Yes." Li Mingxia agreed and rolled the fish meat into even-sized balls and placed them in the boiling fish soup. The fish balls were completely submerged in the soup. After about twenty minutes, when the balls floated in the soup, they were cooked.

Four fish meatballs were placed on a plate. Li Mingxia added fish soup, salt and a little carrot juice to the deep plate to adjust the color of the soup, and then put it in the pot again to start steaming.

The last dish was the soup. Both the dessert and the main course were of the Jiangnan flavor, and the soup was no exception. Li Mingxia chose to make winter melon and old duck soup. Li Mingxia had also seen this dish on the menu of Zhaixing Tower yesterday, but it was not served to Yi Shuishui as a signature dish. It was not known whether the taste was not outstanding or the ingredients were not expensive enough.

Add clean water into the pot and put in the duck that has been cleaned and had its internal organs processed. Onion, ginger and wine are essential, otherwise there will be a fishy smell.

When the duck meat was cooked, the blood and impurities had been skimmed off. Li Mingxia took out the duck meat and cut it into even small pieces with a sharp knife. He also peeled the winter melon and cut it into small pieces.

Seeing that the winter melons basically maintained the same shape and even the size could not be distinguished by the naked eye, Li Mingxia was still a little dissatisfied. If he could completely adapt to this body, he would definitely be able to do much better than now.

Li Mingxia put some oil in the heated pot, then poured the duck meat into the pot and started stir-frying. After the fat in the duck meat had been stir-fried out, the aroma began to spread.

The duck meat had turned brown. Li Mingxia poured boiling water into the pot and simmered it. About ten minutes later, Li Mingxia opened the lid of the pot, put in tangerine peel, coix seed, and ginger, and continued to simmer it.

During this period, the dessert was the first to come out of the pot. Li Mingxia cut the egg yolk and mung bean thousand-layer cake into triangle shapes and placed them on a plate. In order to avoid the taste being affected by cooling, the dessert was kept in the steamer.

The fish meat lion head was also cooked and was also kept warm in the pot. "Just put half a bowl of water in the pot, not more. When the water is gone, just leave a little spark." Li Mingxia instructed the servant.

If there is too much water vapor, it will affect the taste of the dish. Although it is very slight, it is just a matter of words. Li Mingxia is naturally willing to do better.

Now all we have to wait for is the winter melon and old duck soup. Li Mingxia calculated the time and it would take about another quarter of an hour. During this time, Li Mingxia took a radish and a small carving knife and began to carve it carefully.

Roses bloomed one after another in Li Mingxia's hands, and the servants watching the fire were stunned.

After the last rose is carved, the winter melon and duck soup is almost ready. Open the lid of the pot and put in the chopped winter melon, salt, and a little ground matsutake powder. It takes about five minutes to cook the soup.

Li Mingxia first brought out the fish lion head and placed the carved roses on the plate. At this time, the dessert was also brought out, and Li Mingxia placed the remaining roses on the mille-feuille.

"The soup is almost ready." Li Mingxia placed the three dishes on a tray, put his number six on it, and then was led to the judges' table by a servant.

On the way, Li Mingxia met Xiao Tianyue, who was sign number eight. The two were not far away from each other, but Li Mingxia was more focused when doing things, so he didn't pay attention to what he did. At this moment, Xiao Tianyue took two quick steps and walked side by side with Li Mingxia.

"This pastry is really strange. What is it? I've never seen it before." Xiao Tianyue could only see the pastry. The main dish and soup were both covered with lids.

Li Mingxia glanced at Xiao Tianyue and saw that his pastries were also very unique, so he said, "It's just something from my hometown, not worth mentioning. It's not as exquisite as what Chef Xiao made."

Li Mingxia's words were so bland that it was hard to tell whether they were sincere or not. The more Xiao Tian raised his eyebrows, the more he felt that this little girl was very interesting. She looked soft and gentle, but every word she said was full of hidden thorns, which made people uncomfortable but they couldn't find any fault with her.

"Mingxia! You're here!" Yi Shuishui, who was sitting on the judges' panel, immediately leaned forward and greeted Li Mingxia when she saw her.

Li Mingxia smiled and nodded, as a response to her.

When Yi Shuishui saw that Li Mingxia was not surprised, she knew that she must have guessed it a long time ago.

"Oh, how come you are so smart? I was thinking of giving you a surprise!" Yi Shuishui said coquettishly.

Li Mingxia placed the tray in front of Yi Shuishui, "So, I brought you a little gift now, open the lid and take a look."

Including Yi Shuishui, there are four judges in total. Yi Shuishui couldn't wait to hear that there would be a small gift.

"If you're talking about these dishes, then that doesn't count. Everyone has them, not just me."

Li Mingxia shook his head and said, "Can something that everyone has be considered a gift? Of course, it's only you."

As they were talking, the lids of the two dishes were opened, revealing a dozen lifelike carved roses in front of everyone.

"All the judges have to try the dishes, but these flowers are just little things carved out of radishes. They can't be eaten, they're just for show. I'm giving them to you, Shuishui."

Li Mingxia was very careful when arranging the flowers, so that they were not stained by the soup at all, and they were clean, plump and beautiful.

Yi Shuishui widened her eyes and looked at the flowers in front of her, so surprised that she was speechless.

"So beautiful? Mingxia, how come you have so many?" Yi Shuishui immediately asked Qingmeng to put away the flowers.

The judges naturally wouldn't care about these things, and everyone knew a little about Yi Shuishui's identity. Who would be unhappy at this time?

After Yi Shuishui was happy, she looked at the contestants and judges around her and said, "Although I know Ming Xia, my Yi family motto is to be fair in everything we do. Although I am a woman, I dare not violate the family motto and will certainly not favor Ming Xia because of my personal relationship with her. If you have any opinions, I can withdraw now and you can choose another suitable person to be the judge."

Li Mingxia was touched, knowing that Yi Shuishui said these words for his sake.

She also knew that Yi Shuishui recognized her in public because of her.

There are dozens of contestants this time, and many of them have backgrounds, connections, and networks. Yi Shuishui was afraid that these judges would make Li Mingxia a stepping stone for others, so she stood up to support Li Mingxia. How could Li Mingxia not be moved by such thoughts?
