After announcing the rules, everyone followed the order of seats, and the palace maids brought by each palace in turn sent their homemade pastries to the Empress Dowager and Ouyang Heyue, and the rest were given to the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room to taste.

The utensils used to serve the pastries in each palace are different, so it is not easy to get confused, and the official cake tasting meeting does not begin until all the pastries have been delivered.

Mi Li'er and Talang sat upright behind Ouyang Heyue, Ta Lang's eyes were wide since those pastries were presented, what pastries have been eaten in modern times, modern technology is so developed, there are a lot of utensils used to make food, and the things eaten are delicate and delicate.

The pastries presented on these plates in front of him look different, and it would be difficult for him to say that they would be delicious.

But rice grains are different, since those pastries were presented, her neck has stretched long, and she also knows that she is a palace maid, only to accompany her, there is absolutely no chance to taste it, but she is still very greedy, saliva and swallowing.

Ouyang and Yue both felt distressed when they heard this, this girl was really greedy, she didn't treat her badly on weekdays, she usually made some pastries, and she didn't eat them all for her, she was still so greedy, a foodie is a foodie.

At the beginning of the tasting, Mi Li'er cut a small piece from each pastry with a silver knife and put it on the plate, then took a silver fork and handed it to Ouyang Heyue.

The Empress Dowager tasted it slowly, because after all, she was too old to eat too much, so many pastries, each one had to eat a lot.

So that Mama Chen tried to cut as little as possible, and some only cut a piece the size of a fingernail.

Ouyang Heyue ate those pastries, and they really couldn't eat anything new, so they missed the cakes very much.

She took some of the remaining pastries and handed them to Mi Li'er, "These will be finished later, you can take them back and eat them." Otherwise, it would be a waste. ”

Treading Lang pursed his lips, disapproving, he had also eaten a lot of pastries in the palace, and they tasted good. But he really doesn't believe in the craftsmanship of these concubines.

Mi Li'er consciously put some pastries into the food box, but Treading Lang was very disdainful.

He whispered. "Cut, it's definitely not as delicious as the imperial kitchen, and it doesn't look good at first glance. ”

"Shut up, beware of them cutting your tongue out if they hear you. ”

Mi Li'er didn't comment, but she thought it was good just by smelling the pastries. In order to be brilliant, these concubines must have used the best materials.

After about a few pillars of incense, after tasting the pastries one by one, Ouyang Heyue put down his fork and looked at those concubines, except for Liu Zhiqian, everyone else didn't seem to have anything to look at me, and few dared to look at her with their heads down.

To be honest, some of these pastries are still well made, and some of them are too strong. It's so greasy to eat that you can't put it in your mouth.

Some are just too light, and they taste like chewing chaff, although each concubine can give their pastries a nice name, as if each one is very meaningful, but the name is good to listen to, delicious is the king, otherwise the hair cake is fighting.

Ouyang Heyue herself will not offend those concubines, anyway, there is still the Queen Mother, wait for her to say that it is delicious if she thinks it is delicious. She didn't want to offend her in such a trivial matter, why did she make her unhappy, everyone is so old, she really lives and earns a day.

Really. Liu Zhiqian soon came to collect tickets as the initiator of the biscuit competition.

Ouyang Heyue only watched the Empress Dowager vote there, she voted in wherever she entered, and the chefs in the imperial dining room couldn't see her and the Empress Dowager in a shrunken position, so they all voted with their own taste.

It didn't take long for the vote to be completed. Everyone will quickly count the votes.

In the end, they were gathered together, and there were the most signatures in the bamboo tube in front of the blue plate, Liu Zhiqian took the plate with a smile, and said to the concubines below, "Who presented this, you can stand up." ”

The concubines below didn't know what the situation was, and began to talk to each other, but there were also smart concubines, and when they saw the situation, they naturally knew that it was the owner of the blue plate who won.

Su Xiaolan had always been scared, afraid that her pastries were made with the help of the little palace maid next to her, and it would make people laugh when they were presented, but now when she saw Liu Guifei holding her plate and asking again, she was even more frightened, and she almost didn't kick the table down when she got up.

She hurriedly stepped forward with a long skirt, her heart was beating loudly, but when she saw that the bamboo tube in Liu Zhiqian's hand was full of signs, her heart was instantly overjoyed.

Is it difficult to win the championship by yourself with so many signings?

Looking at Liu Guifei's smile at her, there was no criticism at all, which made her even more convinced, and at this time, she was no longer flustered just now, her head was straightened, and her steps became calm.

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, this is the concubine's plate. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

The Empress Dowager's smiling eyes were already narrowed. Then she looked at Su Xiaolan very curiously, she had never seen many concubines and beauties in the palace, and even if she did, she couldn't remember what they looked like.

Today, this concubine who makes delicious pastries has made her a little interested.

She asked Mama Chen beside her, "Which palace is this, it looks quite watery, but it is a little thin." ”

After all, Mama Chen has been walking around a lot in the palace, and if there is anything going on in the palace, she also has to inquire about the Empress Dowager, this Su Xiaolan and Su Meiren have spread all over the palace, so she will naturally go to see it, of course she knows.

"Back to her ancestors, she is a Sumei. ”

When the words fell, the Empress Dowager's face was no longer as festive as just now, she sighed a little disappointed, and responded in a low voice, "Oh." ”

Concubine Liu Guifei asked Su Xiaolan to come forward and wait for the reward of the imperial concubine and the empress dowager, of course Su Xiaolan would not miss the opportunity, she felt that the time had come for her to get ahead, she could be in such a limelight when she first arrived in the palace, who would dare to bully her in the future.

So she walked slowly to the pavilion, saluted, and stopped there to wait for the reward.

It's just that after the Empress Dowager knew that she was a Sumei, she became less happy, and she wanted to give more rewards just now, but she didn't want to reward anything at this time.

A beautiful woman's harem is both wind and rain, and she doesn't like such a concubine.

Ouyang and Yue saw that the Empress Dowager didn't reward her, and she didn't dare to reward her casually, this old lady's face changed really fast, she was still smiling when she looked at it just now, and at this time, she didn't know who offended her, and her face was full of dark clouds.

"Grandma, look?"

"Look at it, although everyone thinks her pastry is delicious, the mourning family feels too tired. But since it was chosen by everyone, the mourning family could not be unfair, so they rewarded two horses of silk and satin. ”

The Empress Dowager was already giving Su Xiaolan a lot of face, she wanted to reward nothing just now, but she was worried that others would say that she was unfair, so she had no choice but to reward two pieces of cloth. (To be continued.) )
