The little eunuch informed the emperor and the ladies that Ma Wenbing had found the food, and at this moment, the emperor, the maidens, and the Duke Rui and Xian were all there, and they were discussing important matters.

They are weighing the performance of all the contestants today, the emperor and the ladies like Ma Wenbing very much, and they have won the first place in both competitions, it seems that he is the first place in the food competition this time.

Since the emperor and the ladies like Ma Wenbing, there is no way for Gonggong Rui and Xian Yiren, and Ma Wenbing's expression this time is a good witness, and there is no reason to give a very low score, even if they receive a lot of silver from others.

The money of several people in the Western Regions allowed them to enter the finals smoothly, and they also plotted a conspiracy to kill the emperor and change the dynasty, and their naivety meant that they would be the heroes of the founding of the country in the future, which was really ridiculous.

accepted the two imperial chefs in the palace, which was to let them enter the finals smoothly, and give a little cheating in the finals, but this time their performance was really not as good as Ma Wenbing, and they couldn't get high scores, which couldn't be blamed on Gonggong Rui and Xian Yiren.

Hearing that Ma Wenbing was the first to cook the dishes again, the emperor and the ladies were overjoyed, especially the concubine Niangniang, thinking that it must be Ma Wenbing's kid who did it first, but I didn't expect it to be true, and I couldn't help but be happy for that kid.

Since it's done, let's go out, and the last game is a winner. After speaking, the emperor stood up first, and waited for the two concubines to stand up and walk out together.

It was still the first order, the emperor walked in the front, Tianfei Niangniang walked behind, sweet potato Niangniang walked behind Tianfei Niangniang, and Rui Gonggong and Xian Daren walked last.

When they arrived at the main hall, each one sat down in his seat again and began to compete for the last time.

Ma Wenbing's dishes were served first, Ma Wenbing held the stove, Tianxiang held the basket, lowered his head, and the basket was full of washed vegetables.

Tianxiang must keep her head down and can't raise it at all, because everyone here knows Tianxiang, except for Tianfei Niangniang, who is a little unfamiliar with Tianxiang, everyone else is very familiar, especially sweet potato Niangniang.

If it is recognized, it will be troublesome, but it is impossible for Ma Wenbing to hold two things, and the vegetables in the basket can only be taken by Tianxiang.

Everyone didn't know what Ma Wenbing was serving, and they didn't know what kind of reputation Ma Wenbing was doing.

Inside the hot pot is a spicy red soup, except for the floating ingredients, every leaf, and all the dishes are in the basket in Tianxiang's hand.

Ma Wenbing, what are you doing here? Do you want to scald these dishes on the spot? The emperor and his mother don't have time to wait for you to scald. ”

Grandpa Rui said first.

Although hot pot is also eaten in the palace, otherwise they would not have prepared that kind of stove, but the hot pot they ate was different from the one prepared by Ma Wenbing, but most of the dishes had already been put in, and they would not eat while waiting.

Besides, they don't eat vegetables when they eat hot pot, they eat fish and meat, and no one uses them to blanch vegetables.

Ma Wenbing put the hot pot on the table, took the basket from Tianxiang's hand, and motioned for Tianxiang to go down, the world can only go down with a pout, and there will be problems if you stay here for a long time.

Ma Wenbing explained: "My lord, please rest assured, this basket is full of vegetables, and it can only be scalded for a while." ”

The head of Xianyi came over and said, "What? Do you want to scald such a vegetable? And it's a rotten vegetable, what kind of bad eyes do you have? Come on, go down!"

I already hated Ma Wenbing, and suddenly killed a Cheng biting gold, this time I have to seize a good opportunity, as long as he has no results this time, he will definitely not get the first place.

When the eunuchs heard the words of the eldest man, they all came up to prepare to return the hot pot served by Ma Wenbing, but they were stopped by the concubine Niangniang.

Concubine Tianniang immediately said: "Wait a minute, don't retreat yet, I'm always tired of eating big fish and meat, it's good to eat a little more vegetables, I haven't eaten vegetable hot pot yet, and I don't know what it tastes like, now you can taste it, Ma Wenbing, quickly blanch some vegetables for me." ”

Ma Wenbing scalded a few lotus root slices for Concubine Tianniang, and took a small bowl to prepare to serve.

Father-in-law Rui came up again and said, "Niangniang, you see that kid's basket is full of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten vegetable roots, you have golden branches and jade leaves, how can you eat that kind of bad bran food?"

Hearing the body fragrance of Grandpa Rui, Concubine Tianniang really looked carefully at Ma Wenbing's basket, and it was really just as Grandpa Rui said, it was some ingredients that were thrown away by the chef.

Tianfei Niangniang didn't understand, how could she choose this kind of ingredient to cook? So she hurriedly asked Ma Wenbing why?

Ma Wenbing explained: "It's not that the little one deliberately chose this kind of ingredients, the sin deserves death, it's just that the little one thinks about this test question, when he is a cook in the army, and the test question is also how to help us thrift food, so I came up with such a way, that is, to clean up the ingredients that are going to be thrown back and make such a hot pot." ”

There are so many good ingredients here, you just need to know that there is a meaning, do you want our emperor and his ladies to eat those rotten vegetables?

The head of Xianyi said again, he and Gonggong Rui took turns attacking Ma Wenbing, and it could be seen at a glance with bad intentions.

It doesn't hurt to eat it once. The emperor said suddenly, he hadn't spoken just now, thinking carefully about his true intention in coming up with this test question, Ma Wenbing's understanding was in line with his thoughts.

What our soldiers can eat, how can we not eat it, we must eat it today, and we have to let it go, I think Ma Wenbing's idea is very good, quickly, and also give me some vegetables. The Emperor continued.

At this time, a few little eunuchs also helped Ma Wenbing start scalding, one person was responsible for one, and the chief manager came with four eunuchs, but he was afraid that Gonggong Rui and Xian would not eat, so two eunuchs did not do it for a long time.

At this time, the sweet potato lady also shouted to eat a few, she didn't look very reluctant, but she didn't want to fall behind.

Ma Wenbing handed a few pieces of lotus root that had just been scalded to Tianfei Niangniang, who took the chopsticks and sang a mouthful, chewing carefully, the taste was really different from what she had eaten before.

This taste comes from the soup base of the hot pot, Ma Wenbing's soup base is not an ordinary soup base, this kind of soup base is not available in this society, and Tianfei Niangniang naturally has not eaten it, so I think the taste is unique.

The concubine quickly finished eating a few lotus slices in the bowl before she spoke: "This hot pot of yours is very unusual, what kind of hot pot is it, does it have a name?"

Ma Wenbing replied: "There is a name, it is called Shancheng Hot Pot." ”

How did you get the name Shancheng Hot Pot?" the emperor answered, thinking that it was his own creation, but he didn't expect that he already had a name, but it didn't matter, it would be nice to understand what he meant.

Ma Wenbing had already been mentally prepared and explained: "In fact, the name doesn't have much meaning, after eating this hot pot, it is like experiencing a heavy rainstorm in the mountains and forests, sweating profusely, and after eating, it is the pleasure of the wind, so it is called the name of Shancheng hot pot." ”

I understand, the name is good, I ate a few pieces of lotus root, just now there seems to be a stormy feeling of oppression, now after eating, it is like standing on the top of the mountain facing the wind, it is really amazing. Hurry up and blanch me some other dishes. Tianfei Niangniang said happily, I can't wait to eat it soon.

Ma Wenbing scalded a few more dishes for Tianfei Niangniang, and at the same time, the emperor and sweet potato Niangniang also began to taste the taste of Shancheng hot pot.

The two of them really didn't dare to eat the vegetables sent over at first, but after tasting it, they found that it was so delicious, numb and spicy pleasure, constantly impacting and washing the taste buds, and after eating, it was like a gust of breeze coming, which was very refreshing.

Then they have to eat something else.

After the emperor and the two mothers ate it, Gonggong Rui and the chief manager of Xianyi also symbolically ate a few bites, it was indeed delicious, I didn't expect that rotten vegetable leaves could make such a delicious delicacy, and I had to admire Ma Wenbing's magic.

After everyone ate the Shancheng hot pot, when they were about to give a score, the other contestants also served their own dishes one after another, but they were not as good as Ma Wenbing's Shancheng hot pot.

The last one was a dish brought by a few people from the Western Regions, and when they got the silver needle test, the little eunuch and Amat looked at each other, deliberately turned the plate around, and changed the position for the little eunuch to test.

This secret action was not seen by others, and even if it did, it was considered normal, and he would not think too much, but He Yiping and Lord He saw it in his eyes, and immediately rushed to the top of the table with great strides, and quickly dodged the dish.

Do you want to poison the emperor?" He Yiping and Lord He let out a loud shout, staring at Amat sternly, although he was not as strong as the other party, but his momentum was not admitting defeat at all.

This sudden scene of getting up, so everyone was shocked, the emperor and the ladies were also shocked, I don't know what happened, but I can know that it is a bad thing to happen.

Who are you? What do you want to do? Come on, get a few of them. Grandpa Rui shouted, pointing to three people, namely He Yiping, Ma Wenbing, and Tianxiang, because the three of them were together, and they must be an accomplice.

Grandpa Rui gave an order, but no one did anything, which shocked him, and he had a premonition that something big would happen next.

Some people said that they would send the emperor into each other, and some people stood on the side of Gonggong Rui and the chief steward of Xianyi, all of them were eunuchs, and they didn't know what was going on, but it was the soldiers in the hall who played the decisive role, and they were motionless, so no one dared to make a mistake.

The scene became very silent, no one spoke, no one dared to move, not even the atmosphere.

Tianfei Niangniang would not believe that someone like Ma Wenbing would assassinate the emperor, but the person who robbed the vegetables was indeed with Ma Wenbing, if Ma Wenbing was not an assassin, then it was those people from the Western Regions.

What the hell is going on? Everyone unfolded and said clearly, who are you, why do you say that they are going to poison?" said the Emperor at last.

The emperor is not the emperor, the weight of his words is high, at the critical moment, his shout, everyone knows what to do, everyone is not so nervous, and they are not nervous if they have not done anything wrong.

However, those who have done bad things are very nervous, those people in the Western Regions, as well as Gonggong Rui and Xian Yiren, are very nervous, and their backs are constantly breaking out in cold sweat, because they are all head-killing business.

Participate in the emperor, these people from the Western Regions want to poison you and the girls, no matter if the little one is not blocked, I hope that the emperor will be clear. He Yiping, Lord He knelt on the ground and said.

Lord He Yiping's words shocked the emperor, nothing more serious than someone assassinating him, he had to send additional soldiers, at this time, the Janissary took a large number of soldiers to the main hall, surrounded all the people, and did not want to run.

The Emperor didn't expect the Praetorian Guard to come so quickly, and it was obvious that he had already prepared for it, and it seemed that he already knew about it, so he asked the Praetorian Guard what was going on?

The Praetorian Guard told him that several people in the Western Regions were going to be poisoned, and this matter was told to him by Lord He Yipinghe.

This matter seems to be true, there is really someone who wants to assassinate him, and the emperor has to be super serious, first let the Janissaries control all the people in the Western Regions, so that they cannot carry out unpredictable and dangerous behaviors.

Then he asked Lord He Yiping, who served the dish, who he was, and how did he know about this?

Lord He Yiping did not answer, but stood up and walked to Tianxiang's side, pulled her over, and revealed Tianxiang's identity on the spot.

This time it was for everyone, but the shock added another shock, the princess Tianxiang who had been kicked out of the palace came back again.

It was the sweet potato lady who was angry at the scene, she would never allow Tianxiang to appear, because she was kicked out because of her affairs, and now she is standing in front of her, what is going on?

What the hell is going on with you? Tianxiang, why are you still rushing back? You've already been kicked out, come on!

The sweet potato Niangniang's next words couldn't be understood, that is, she asked someone to arrest Tianxiang and them, but they were stopped by the emperor who stood up.

The matter has long passed, and since they are back, let them finish their words, they have saved you and me, and I have not spoken here yet. ”

Next, an even more shocking scene came out, which can be said to be the third shock.

The third shock was that Tianxiang pointed to the sweet potato Niangniang in front of the emperor and told the sweet potato Niangniang about framing her mother back then.

Of course, the sweet potato lady will not admit the ugly things she did, but in front of Tianxiang's aggressiveness, she can't help but lose the battle and sit down.
