Mu Hualan had some pity in her eyes, but she didn't do anything, but followed and looked at the third delicacy.

It is also a white porcelain bowl, but it is larger than the pickled porcelain bowl, the soup in the bowl is very clear, but the more it goes down, the more foggy it is, so that people can't see what the soup base is like, there are a few white and lovely lotus seeds floating on the soup noodles, and there are "beads" that seem to be crystals , full and round, reflecting the light, in which the transparent white fungus is faintly visible, like a beautiful flower blooming in the misty soup, the sweet and light fragrance begins to spread, so that the person who smells the fragrance is refreshed.

Qin Xiu stirred it with a spoon, and one by one the snow-white rice grains like white jade floated up, and he realized that the reason why the soup gave people a foggy feeling was because of this rice grain!

Qin Xiu drank a spoonful of soup, the slightest sweetness occupied his mouth, the soup was sweet, but it did not give people a sweet and greasy feeling, and then it had a hint of coolness, sweetness, unique taste, spleen and lungs.

The silkiness of white fungus, the softness of rice grains, the sweetness of lotus seeds, and the beads that seem to be crystals are also a kind of lotus seeds, called wood lotus seeds, with a sweet taste and a cool soup, which can not be called a dish, it can be a dessert.

Qin Xiu drank two more sips, and tasted the lotus seeds, white fungus, etc., then put down the bowl and spoon in his hand, smashed his mouth and said: "The taste is good, although it is sweet and not greasy, but it is only that, you have not discovered the essence of it, the water of your soup should be the ice water on the top of the snow peak in Mianli, but I think it will taste more delicious if it is replaced with snow water on the mountain, and ......"

Qin Xiu still commented on a passage, and also put forward some of his own opinions and suggestions, but from beginning to end, he was all about the taste and taste of the food, and he only mentioned the problem of the thinness of the aura preserved in it, not much.

Li Yi also listened very carefully from beginning to end, and from time to time he lowered his head to think, and then showed a hint of admiration: "Boss Qin's cooking skills are served." ”

Qin Xiu was noncommittal, did not answer, but went on to taste several dishes, but there was no doubt that with exception, all of them were denied by him, including the delicacies that were also covered by the cover, which were also vetoed, and they were also criticized by him as worthless.

A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but although he was disappointed, he was not dissatisfied, after all, these delicacies that he rejected were rare and delicious in the eyes of others, and he only blamed his mouth for being too mouthful!

And the people sitting around Qin Xiu all heard his comments, and the people who heard it looked at the food in front of them, and the corners of their mouths twitched, is this really that unpalatable?!Why did they taste it so good just now?!

But I don't know if it's a mental effect or what, but when they pick up the chopsticks again and pick up the food that they thought was good for a second and eat it in their mouths, they always felt as if there was something missing in it, and it didn't seem to be so delicious.

And the diners of those delicious restaurants, they don't have to think about reviews, they don't feel right when they eat the food, and they don't want to eat it after two bites.

The emperor on the dragon chair also heard it, and his cheeks twitched, the food he usually ate was criticized for being so worthless?! But thinking of the food he had tasted that time, he had to admit that the food in the store was indeed better than the ordinary food.

The program in the hall has changed, a group of women are dancing an unknown dance, and Mu Hualan on the side is explaining to him: "This dance is a sacrificial dance, this is praying for the victory of our army, praying for our army to return triumphantly, and also praying for the families who participated in the army to come back smoothly and safely." ”

Qin Xiu nodded, the clothes on these dancing people were uniform, simple and elegant, light makeup and plain wrapping, not glamorous at all, dancing this unknown dance, there was a strange kind of beauty

"Qin Concubine, you have passed away, I don't know if you are interested in coming to the imperial court to contribute to the Tanglin Empire?"

As soon as these words came out, many people were stunned, this means that he wants to knight Qin Xiu? General Lan is a powerful general, and now he even wants her fiancé to participate in politics? What does the emperor think???

"Do you want me to be an official?" Qin Xiu asked with an eyebrow.

"That's all right. The emperor replied, "If, Qin Fuma thinks, I think the position of the household servant is quite suitable for Qin Fuma." ”

The mood of the people present is a little complicated, what is this good for them?! The household department can be the department that manages the country's finances, and the importance of it is not necessary, and the squire can be only one level lower than Shangshu.

Several people looked at Qin Xiu with a little envy and jealousy, this guy is really lucky, right?!

Of course, there are also people who are deeply thoughtful, puzzled, and worried, and they can't understand the emperor's thoughts.

The rest of the people are aware of it, and these people obviously know some information that others don't know.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Xiu would definitely agree to such a good thing, Qin Xiu frowned and said, "I refuse." ”

His categorical words made everyone even want to doubt their ears! This guy actually refused?!?

In an instant, everyone in the hall began to whisper.

In the face of everyone's various eyes, Qin Xiuai didn't care, he wasn't interested in what kind of hellish waiter, it was better to practice more knife skills if he had that kung fu, improve his cooking skills, and complete the task as soon as possible!

The emperor frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he was about to do something, but at the door of the main hall, the captain of the imperial guard looked anxious, and hurriedly ran in, holding a blood-stained envelope in his hand!

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from the border, and the scout who delivered the letter died at the same time as the letter was delivered. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about saluting, knelt directly on one knee, held the envelope with both hands and raised it above his head, and said heavily.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, the music played abruptly stopped, the dancing woman also stopped moving, all the movements were a meal, and the whole hall was so quiet that it seemed that the sound of a needle could be heard.

"Present it. The emperor said expressionlessly.

Chen Gonggong walked from the emperor's side to Li An's side, took the urgent report in his hand, and presented it to the emperor.

The Emperor quickly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from it, spread it out and looked at it, and when he saw what was written on it, his face suddenly became gloomy.

There was no one in the main hall to speak, and everyone looked at each other, looking at the emperor with a gloomy face, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, the minister dared to ask, but what happened?" King Ning got up and asked, frowning slightly.

There was silence in the entire hall, and a heavy atmosphere spread in the hall, and those who were even more daring did not dare to breathe, and everyone looked at the gloomy emperor nervously, waiting for his answer.

However, the emperor did nothing, but flicked his sleeves, stood up from the dragon chair, his eyes wandered around the people in the hall, turned around and walked towards the special passage on the side, and left a sentence: "Civil and military officials, follow me to the imperial study." ”

All the officials in the court got up one after another, told the family members around them a few words, and hurried towards the imperial study, the emperor was angry at a glance, and no one wanted to be the first bird at this time.

Mu Hualan was the same, and said to Qin Xiu, "It's not safe for you to go back alone, and I will let the carriage send you back first." Then, without waiting for him to answer, he walked towards the imperial study with a solemn expression.

“......”

Qin Xiu silently glanced at Mu Hualan's back, and his expressionless face showed speechlessness, do you want to treat him as a child like this?!Are the identities of the two of them reversed?!Fall!Do you want your boyfriend to be so explosive??!!

After the officials were gone, the hall suddenly seemed empty, and the rest were some family members and those wealthy businessmen, all of whom were talking to each other, guessing what was going on.

The dancers in the middle of the dance are really a little overwhelmed, do they want to continue dancing?

This question is a question that everyone present wants to know, whether this feast should continue or not?

The puzzled crowd turned their eyes to the Queen Mother of the Nation, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon chair on a high place, and Qin Xiu also looked at the Queen above.

The queen's appearance is very dignified and beautiful, wearing a golden silk flying phoenix golden step, earlobes gold Ruyi earlobes, a red gemstone pendant on her forehead, a red jade jade bracelet on her wrist, a gemstone ring and a golden finger sleeve on her fingers, and a Ruyi embroidered white satin silk handkerchief. Dressed in a phoenix python, graceful and luxurious, with a trace of majesty between his eyebrows.

But looking at his appearance and demeanor, he really deserves the title of the mother of the country, Qin Xiu thought in his heart, but it was not easy for him to assert the specifics, after all, he didn't know much about the queen, and he was not interested in understanding it.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the queen was actually very embarrassed, and she was also hesitant whether to continue the banquet or let everyone disperse.

The emperor didn't want to end the banquet, if she ended it without permission, would it make the emperor unhappy?

Most of the people in the palace don't seem to be in the mood to continue the banquet, and besides, what if the emperor doesn't want to continue the banquet? Will she continue to make the emperor unhappy?!

Although the queen is very entangled in her heart, but it is only a moment of effort, she has been the queen for so many years, this decision is still there, I saw her hand resting on the armrest moved gently, and said: "Everyone, the emperor and the ministers have important things to discuss, and I don't know when to talk about it, if you feel that you have no words to talk about, you can go back to the house first, if you want to wait for them to finish discussing things and leave together, stay in the Taihe Palace." ”

When she was done, she let the dancers and musicians in the audience retreat.

This means that the feast does not continue, but whether to leave or stay is entirely up to one's own will.

The people below naturally understood what she meant, and some of them decided to stay and wait without thinking about it, and the queen just nodded after hearing this, and said: "The palace will send Ran Yu to wait outside the door of the study, and if they see the adults coming out, they will be notified to come to the Taihe Palace." ”

"Queen Xie. The people thanked them.

Some of them want to go back first, most of these people are those rich businessmen, after all, they don't have anyone to wait for, this banquet can be ruined because of an urgent report, and now there is no need to continue, so they have proposed to leave first, and the queen is also approved one by one.

Except for these people. The rest of the people stayed, and those who stayed behind can also be divided into two kinds, one is worried, and the other is relaxed.

After all, the captain of the imperial guard just now, and the scouts who sent the report were scouts, what is the scout? That is the soldier who specially sends information to the general, this is the information from the front line, and if you look at the emperor's face, you can know that it is not good news, so you don't need to think about it to know, it must be something wrong at the front line! The key is to see what is wrong!

But no matter what happens, it is impossible for civilian officials to go into battle to kill the enemy, so the families of these civilian officials are not worried, and the families of those military generals will frown.

Qin Xiu originally planned to get up Zou En, but Zhao Fei and Li Yi didn't know where they came out of nowhere and pulled him to the corner of the main hall.

"You two...... What is this going to do?" Looking at the mysterious appearance of the two of them, Qin Xiu asked, he even thought with a big brain: Is it something that cannot be forgiven?

Fortunately, Zhao Fei and Li Yi didn't know Qin Xiu's brain hole, otherwise they would have sent contemptuous glances and a pair of white eyes.

Zhao Fei and Li Yi glanced at each other. It was Zhao Fei who opened his mouth first, only to see him cough twice and then said cautiously: "Qin Zi, I have something to say, I'll ask you - is your name your real name?"

“...... Be. Qin Xiu looked at him speechlessly, is this question important?

"So, you really haven't taken the chef star exam, aren't you a star chef?" Zhao Fei's eyes lit up a little when he said this.

“...... Right. Although Qin Xiu felt strange in his heart, this question was not a question that was difficult to answer.

"Qin Zi, it's actually like this-" Zhao Fei was excited.

Li Yi on the side rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhao Fei, who was grinding and chirping, and half did not enter the theme, and said to Qin Xiu: "In five months, it will be the star chef assessment, so I asked if you want to participate?"

Qin Xiu raised his eyebrows and guessed, "You two want to help me sign up?"

Zhao Fei smiled and said: "Qin Zi, you also know that the star certificate is very important for a chef, it is easy to get a star certificate with your cooking skills, and after five months, it will be the star chef assessment, as long as you show your hand, you can pass, it won't waste much of your time, and if you think about it, how useful the chef star certificate is, it's ......."

As if he was afraid that Qin Xiu would refuse, Zhao Fei barabala-bara was a fierce persuasion at him, and then he praised the chef's star certificate as unparalleled in the world.
