The gate of the Vine Gate Hall opened from the outside, and Hua Mian stood in the middle of the door, wearing a white veil and a face towel on her face. This was also something Sikong Yu had specially ordered a few days ago. In order to increase Hua Mian's sense of mystery and make the people in the royal capital more curious about Hua Mian's confusing identity. Hua Mian felt that Sikong Yu's business mind was a waste in this era.

Behind Huamian were two rows of maids carrying food boxes. After entering the banquet hall, the maids opened the food boxes and took out the dishes. When they saw the dishes on the table, they saw the dishes on the table full. Whether it was a few guests from Honglu Temple, the Hua girl who accompanied them, or even Zi Yuan, they could not help but approach the table with the dishes full of dishes so that they could see clearly.

In the first few days, Huamian was still very interested in guessing the ingredients game, but gradually found that the guests did not deliberately make Hua Niang laugh, but really didn't know that in their perception, the ingredients tasted like that, fish had a fishy smell, tofu was soft, potatoes... Well, potatoes were still not popular anywhere because they had no taste.

Because he saw too much of the other party's reaction, Huamian could no longer be interested in playing those games with them, so he simply said the ingredients used in the dishes every time he served, and cut off their thoughts about the game.

Huamian gently puts the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, and her fingertips touch the edge of the tableware, introducing it one by one according to the order in which the maid serves the dishes.

"This dish is a pan-fried shrimp cake. Use fresh river shrimp you just caught in the morning. Cut it and stir evenly with various diced vegetables. Put it in the pot and add a little oil. Fry until both sides are golden and taken out. This way, while retaining the fresh and sweet shrimp meat, it can also increase the crispness and refreshing taste of the vegetables."

......

Following Hua Mian's introduction, everyone tasted the dishes one by one, but they didn't bother to chat and the whole staff were dining attentively.

"Then there is this dish, this dish is called soft fish noodles. Take a larger fresh soft fish, wash it, peel the skin, remove the internal organs, cut it into thin strips, and put it on a plate, dip it in orange vinegar sauce here to eat."

"This pickled soft fish..."

"You mean this dish is raw?"

Everyone didn't react when they listened to Hua Mian's explanation. After hearing Lord Zhu's words, they thought about it carefully before they could hear it.

"Yes"

"Is this what people eat?" The oldest of the few people suddenly raised their voices and shouted.

On the contrary, Huamian was shocked. It was just raw squids. How could he have such a reaction? Look at the people around him, from the guests to Hua Niang, his face was not very good.

"Wash the raw fish and cut it and take it out directly. Do you think it is in those uncivilized and barbaric places? Or do you look down on our Honglu Temple?"

Another official next to him also said, "It's just a chef on Hua Street. I think it's because he has become popular recently, and he has begun to look down on people."

Hua Mian was stunned by the question and wanted to explain to herself, but was blocked by Zi Yuan.

"Mr. Tong, this sister has just entered Huajie recently and has not yet learned many rules and etiquette. If you have any offense, I will compensate you for her first."

As he said that, Zi Yuan got up to tidy up her dress and gave a formal greeting in the direction of several guests.

When they heard that it was Zi Yuan's sister, their faces were slightly relieved. After all, they were the girl cared for by the courtesan. No matter how angry they were, they always had to give their face.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lord Zhu spoke up to say something to ease the atmosphere, and his face turned redder even more.
