36. Win the championship
"Sister Huang, what did you mean by Wei Jinyi's smile just now?" Bo Ximin looked at Bo Xiling very puzzled, this Wei Jinyi is inevitably too arrogant!
"She, I guess she has some ghost idea, wait to see a good show!"
The breeze was blowing, and Bo Ximin looked sideways at the corners of Bo Xiling's slightly raised mouth, and there was only the shadow of Wei Jinyi in his good-looking eyebrows. Bo Ximin didn't know what kind of magic this Wei Jinyi could make his sister, who had always been cold, so obsessed.
There is also the fact that the two of them have such a tacit understanding, and my sister still refuses to admit it. Bo Ximin is not against women falling in love, but can this so-so Wei Jinyi take care of his sister? And the entire Bo Xi country! Bo Ximin squinted his eyes, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, did he worry too much!
On the other side, Bo Xihe hurriedly sent Wei Jinyi a few chicken intestines. After taking the chicken intestines, Wei Jinyi started fishing for crayfish! In Liuyin Lake, no one catches it, and the crayfish are overflowing, and the water quality is good, the nutrients are sufficient, and the size of this crayfish is about to catch up with the big lobster.
Almost as soon as Wei Jinyi's chicken intestines entered the water, those crayfish began to bite the rod, and Wei Jinyi pumped the rod at a very fast frequency, which surprised the people around him. It wasn't until she saw what she was fishing for that she realized that the botanist who had been appointed to the new office turned out to be a fool! This inedible thing is still so energetic!
Bo Xiling watched her actions from behind, and had the same doubts, but according to Wei Jinyi's expression on the island, she still chose to believe Wei Jinyi.
Soon, half a day passed, and the fishing phase came to an end. With the sound of gongs and drums on the table again, the half-game came to an end.
A team of fathers-in-law began to register the total weight of the fish caught by the various officials. When a father-in-law came to Wei Jinyi, he was completely dumbfounded, what did this Lord Wei fish! Crayfish with teeth and claws pinch each other in buckets, and their swarthy bodies always give people a sense of foreboding.
The little father-in-law did not dare to make his own decisions, looked up at the empress and princess, asked for their opinions, and saw their nodding, and the little father-in-law began to weigh it.
Wei Jinyi looked at his results with satisfaction, thinking about what kind of dishes he would make after entering the finals to capture the heart of the empress.
"Xiaohe, can the empress eat spicy?"
"Yes, but the empress pays attention to health and rarely eats."
"Well, I know, Xiaohe, you go back and help me pick some jasmine and mulberry leaves, jasmine and mulberry leaves you should know, I taught you how to recognize them two days ago."
"I know, Xiaohe will go." Wei Jinyi found that this Bo Xihe had some talents in botany, although he couldn't catch up with himself, but these talents were enough for Wei Jinyi to teach something to pass once.
Wei Jinyi was very relieved that he actually accepted a proud protégé in ancient times, but obviously Bo Xihe didn't take this talent of his heart to heart, and subconsciously thought that people who deal with plants were unproductive people!
In the end, the results came out and surprised everyone. The reckless general Mu Yifeng, who has never had the patience to manage the fishing business, actually won the championship, and the scene of General Mu Yi falling the rod because of no fish in the first two years is unforgettable, no one believes that this rude martial artist will change his temperament in this year's time, and there are ten shady things**!
And Xuanyuan Yan, who has always been outstanding, won the crown last year, and this time he ranked second. Feeling Mu Yifeng's mocking and ostentatious gaze, the gentle Xuanyuan Yan disdained.
What's even more surprising is that the little-known little botanist squeezed into the top three with that bucket of crayfish. Just when the ministers questioned the fairness of the competition, the empress Chrysostom opened, and the top 20 contestants entered the next stage of the cooking competition, and the empress turned a blind eye, what else could she say!
Since ancient times, the game of victory and defeat is that some people are happy and some are worried, and for Wei Jinyi, it is really a great luck to accidentally squeeze into the top three. It's just that Mu Yifeng, who was standing beside him just now, gave himself a very bad feeling, especially when he looked at Bo Xiling, his eyes were full of possessiveness.
So Wei Jinyi, who was worried at halftime, seemed even more careless. Bo Xihe, who was beside her, saw that something was wrong with her, and asked with concern, "Master Wei, what's wrong with you?" Feeling bad? ”
"Xiaohe, who is the person standing next to me just now?"
"Lord Xuanyuan?" Bo Xihe struggled to recall the person who had just appeared.
"It's not him, it's the one who caught the most just now!"
"Oh, that's it, he's General Mu Yi, he's very brave!" Bo Xihe looked nymphomaniac, obviously compared to the polite Xuanyuan Yan, the brave and combative Mu Yifeng was her dish.
"Does he like the Empress?" Wei Jinyi finally asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Yes, he and Lord Xuanyuan have liked the Empress for many years!"
"What! Xuanyuan Yan also likes my empress! "Wei Jinyi felt that there were really thousands of troops between her and the empress, and when he learned that the opponent was so strong, Wei Jinyi felt even more pressure." No, Xiaohe, I'm going to start working hard, otherwise I'll be able to compare to them! ”
Wei Jin clenched his fists with both hands, cheering himself up, and his serious demeanor shocked Bo Xihe.
"Xiaohe, I'm going to prepare crayfish, can you help me?"
"Well... Good. "Bo Xihe doesn't know how long Wei Jinyi's sudden determination can last, but is this Lord Wei going to compete with the other two personable adults for the position of imperial husband? Wouldn't it be too... I can't help myself
Forget it, whatever she says, do it herself, although she is not optimistic about her, but usually she treats herself very well, and she has to try her best to help her.
When everyone was resting, Wei Jinyi began to churn the bucket of crayfish. Rack your brains and show all the practices you know. Spicy, steamed, peeled, stewed, braised in oil, popped in sauce...
Wei Jin raced against time to integrate her creativity into these practices, and now she has begun to do everything in her hands well and meticulously. Unconsciously, Wei Jin became different at first...
After an afternoon of cooking competition, the evaluation of the dinner was held as scheduled. There were three chief judges for this competition, and the Empress was naturally one of the adjudicators, there was no doubt about it. And Bo Ximin is the chief planner, and he deserves it.
It's just that compared with previous years, there is one more old prime minister Xuanyuan this year. He has a terrifying face and is an out-and-out foodie. When I have nothing to do, I love to seek delicious delicacies from all over the world. It is reasonable to invite him to come this time, but will this old Prime Minister Xuanyuan be partial?
The serial number of this serving dish is also the key to the competition, some people think that the front is good, and some people think that the center is also good. But the person with this mantissa is always not favored, and once the person who is assessed has a feeling of fullness in his belly, his appetite will be greatly reduced.
Coincidentally, Wei Jinyi drew the last one to serve. The people around her didn't expect anything from him, but she was still confident.
The former players submitted their entries in turn, and many of them attracted the admiration of the judges, and the whole competition also entered the most tense stage.
After the people in front of them were satisfied with the display of their works, it was finally Wei Jinyi's turn. Although Bo Xiling had the intention to keep Wei Jinyi's stomach, the food was tempting, and it was not something he could control at all, so when it was finally Wei Jinyi's turn, Bo Xiling's stomach was already eight points full. The other two let go of their stomachs to eat, and when they encountered some delicious food, they couldn't stop eating a few more chopsticks, and now they are really full.
After seeing the strangely shaped crayfish presented by Wei Jinyi, he was a little unappetizing. Wei Jinyi took their reaction into his eyes and calmly began his introduction.
"This is my special crayfish with different flavors, and the first thing I want to say is that Bo Xiguo has no precedent for eating crayfish, and I am going to set this precedent today. Let everyone try this delicious crayfish, I think people who like fish will also have a soft spot for crayfish. Wei Jinyi's last sentence was obviously addressed to the empress.
Bo Xiling looked at Wei Jinyi's confident and flamboyant expression, and there was a lot of anticipation in his heart. When she picked up her chopsticks to pick up the things on the plate, she was stopped by Wei Jinyi.
"Empress, don't worry, let's drink the flower tea in that cup first." Then he turned to Bo Ximin and Xuanyuan Tian and said, "Please do the same!" ”
According to Wei Jinyi's words, the three of them took a cup and drank the prepared flower tea. The fragrance of jasmine is mixed with the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn and the unknown taste. The tea flows into the body from top to bottom, like a warm current, permeating the whole body. The fresh and greasy taste, the sweet and sour feeling of opening the stomach made the three of them instantly increase their appetite.
"Now it's time to go!" Wei Jin smiled with satisfaction when he saw that his method had worked.
Bo Xiling attacked the peeled crayfish, on the bamboo chopsticks, the red crayfish was steaming, slowing down the mouth, chewing gently, sometimes strong and sometimes tender, the taste reminded Bo Xiling of the coconut crab on the island. Bo Xiguo is so delicious, no one has discovered it!
Bo Xiling launched a fierce attack towards the object on the plate, and the expression of being shocked by the delicacy was transmitted from his face and eyes. For a while, the judges were silent, and the three of them made eye contact, indicating the shock in their hearts.
At the table, the officials who were waiting for the results and joining in the excitement were discussing, some were questioning, some were dissatisfied, but more were curious about what kind of dishes Wei Jinyi had made, so that the empress and others had such a reaction.
And this is exactly what Wei Jinyi expected, and he sent a secret signal towards Bo Xihe, who was waiting in the crowd. A group of maids with plates of crayfish walked towards the noisy crowd and distributed them to the disgruntled and curious spectators.
It's just that after they ate it, all their dissatisfaction turned into exclamations. This is also the effect that Wei Jinyi wants, she wants to make her champion bright and innocent. All of them are obedient rather than complaining and skeptical.
Just like the position of the imperial husband, he also wants the whole world to be convinced!
Then there was another wave of heat among the hundred officials, and Wei Jinyi secretly moved to Bo Xiling's side and reached out to peel the crayfish with the carapace on her plate. Bo Xiling looked up at the serious Wei Jinyi, his eyes were shining, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Wei Jinyi, you gave me another surprise." ”
"Really? Surprises abound as long as you like! Taking advantage of the fact that other people's eyes were attracted by the crayfish, Wei Jinyi secretly handed his carefully peeled crayfish to Bo Xiling's mouth.
Bo Xiling was stunned by this ambiguous action, but in the end, she still blushed and put the thing handed over by Wei Jinyi into her mouth.
One finger is cold, and the fragrance of flowers on the body is overflowing.
One lip is soft, and the face is flushed.
When the two met, it was shy and ambiguous!
Wei Jinyi pretended to be calm and withdrew his hand and continued to peel crayfish for Bo Xiling. And Bo Ximin and Xuanyuan Tian sent away the maids beside them, and they couldn't wait to do it themselves. In a tea room, the wind swept the clouds, and the things presented by the Wei and Jin dynasties have been wiped out.
But the faces of the three of them were obviously unsatisfied, and when Wei Jin saw this, he ordered someone to hand over three cups of flower tea to clear heat and detoxify to relieve the oiliness and heat of the crayfish.
Finally, the last contestant also completed the display of his works, Bo Xiling, Bo Ximin, and Xuanyuan Tian, just a glance contact, and the result was achieved.
Wei Jinyi deserves this championship, and the reward of one gold is not in her pocket! Poor Xuanyuan Yan finally asked his father to be a judge, but he turned his elbow out and voted for someone else!
And Xuanyuan Tian can only say that at the moment of food, he must be iron-faced and selfless!
After the end of the King of Fish Competition, in the court and among the people, there were a few more dishes based on crayfish, and this credit naturally went to Wei Jinyi!
