The eunuch informed the emperor and the ladies that Ma Wenbing had found the materials, and at this moment, the emperor, the maidens, as well as the Duke Rui and the Xian adults, 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 to be next to each other in both competitions, it seems that he has to win the first place in this food competition.

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.

By a few Rao Yinzi in the Western Regions, they were able to enter the finals smoothly, and they also plotted a plot to kill the emperor and change the dynasty, they really mean that they will be the heroes of the founding of the country in the future, which is 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 make the dishes again, the emperor and the ladies were overjoyed, especially the concubine Niangniang, thinking that it must be Ma Wenbing's son who did it first, but I didn't expect it to be true, and I couldn't help but be happy for that son.

"Now that it's done, let's go out, the last game is a winner. The emperor stood up first, waiting for the two concubines to stand up and walk out together.

It was still the first order, the emperor walked in the front, the concubine Niangniang walked behind, the sweet potato Niangniang walked behind the concubine, and the Duke Rui and the first adult walked at the end.

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, Xiang held the basket, lowered his head, and the basket was full of washed vegetables.

The incense must be lowered and not raised at all, because everyone here knows the incense, except for the concubine Niangniang, who is a little unfamiliar with the incense, everyone else is very familiar, especially the sweet potato Niangniang.

If it is recognized, it will be troublesome, but Ma Wenbing can't hold two things, and the vegetables in the basket can only be taken fragrantly.

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 Xiang's hand.

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

Rui Gonggong 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 Xiang's hand, and motioned for Xiang to go down, pouting and only going down, 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 still a rotten vegetable, what kind of bad eyes are you doing? 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 big words, they all came up to prepare the hot pot served by Wang Ma Wenbing, but they were stopped by the concubine.

Concubine Niangniang 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 slices for the concubine, and took a bowl to serve.

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

Hearing Grandpa Rui's body fragrance, Concubine Niangniang really looked carefully at Ma Wenbing's basket, and it was really like Grandpa Rui, all of which were some ingredients that were thrown away by the chef.

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

Ma Wenbing explained: "No, I deliberately chose this kind of ingredients, and I deserved to die, but I just thought about this test question, when I was a chef in the army, and the test question was also how to help us thrift food, so I came up with such a way, that is, to clean up the ingredients that were going to be thrown back and make such a hot pot." ”

"Then you can't choose rotten vegetable leaves, there are so many good ingredients here, just know that there is a meaning, do you want our emperor and ladies to eat those rotten vegetables?

The head of Xianyi said again, he and Gonggong Rui took turns attacking Ma Wenbing, and he could see at a glance that he had bad intentions.

"It doesn't hurt to eat it once. The emperor said suddenly, he had nothing to say just now, and carefully thought 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 blanch some vegetables for me." The Emperor continued.

At this time, a few eunuchs also helped Ma Wenbing start scalding, one person was responsible for one, and the chief manager came with four eunuchs, but they were 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 Concubine Niangniang, who sang with chopsticks and chewed 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 the concubine Niangniang has naturally not eaten it, so she feels that 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." ”

"Shancheng hot pot, where did you get the name?" the emperor asked, 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's like standing on the top of the mountain facing the wind, it's really amazing." Hurry up and blanch me some other dishes. The concubine said happily, eager to eat something else.

Ma Wenbing scalded a few more dishes for the concubine, and at the same time, the emperor and the 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 Ruci was delicious, numb and spicy pleasure, constantly impacting and washing the taste buds, and after eating, there was like a gust of fresh breeze to send it, 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 he got the place where the silver needle was tested, the eunuch and Amat looked at each other, deliberately turned the plate around, and changed the position for the 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 Lord He Yiping He saw it all 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 He snorted, 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, arrest them all. Grandpa Rui shouted, pointing to three people, namely He Yiping, Ma Wenbing and Xiang, 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 want to send the emperor into each other, and some people stand on the side of Gonggong Rui and the chief steward of Xianyi, they are all eunuchs, I don't know what happened, but the decisive thing is the soldiers in the hall, they are motionless, so no one dares to make a mistake.

The scene became very silent, no one spoke, no one dared to move, and even the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Concubine Niangniang would not believe that someone like Ma Wenbing would assassinate the emperor, but that material robber 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 understood, who are you, why did they poison them?" the Emperor finally said.

The emperor is not the emperor, the weight of the 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 they don't stop it, they still hope that the emperor will see it. He Yiping, Lord He knelt on the ground and said.

He Yiping He Da Rao shocked the emperor, nothing more serious than someone assassinating him, he had to send more soldiers, at this time the Praetorian Guard 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?

Lord Praetorian Guard revealed that several people in the Western Regions were going to poison him, 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 Tsunashi Kazuhira-sama, who he was, and how did he know about this?

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

This time it was for everyone, but the shock added another shock, and the princess Xiang, 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 the appearance of incense, because she was driven out because of her affairs, and now standing in front of her, what is going on?

"What the hell is going on with you? Xiang, why are you still rushing back? You've already been kicked out, someone! ...... them."

The sweet potato Niangniang's next words couldn't be understood, that is, she asked someone to arrest the incense girls, but was stopped by the emperor who stood up.

"It's already over, now that they're back, let them finish talking, they saved you and me, and I don't have anything to say here. ”

Next, an even more shocking scene came out, which could be the third shock.

The third shock was that Xiang pointed to the sweet potato Niangniang in front of the emperor and told the sweet potato Niangniang that he framed her mother back then.

Of course, the sweet potato lady will not admit the ugly things she has done, but in the face of Xiang Duan's aggressiveness, she can't help but lose the battle and sit down.
