After counting the number of people, everyone was led to the courtyard where yesterday's competition was held, but the difference from yesterday was that the masters had already taken their seats, and the chief steward and stewards were standing on the side of the spectator seat, and the ingredients behind them were also prepared.

Under the guidance of the mother-in-law, the cooks and the ladies kowtowed to the masters first, and after standing firm, Pang's mother came out to read the list.

"Mengmei, Shi Ping, Xiang Wen, Bai Ko, Shen Dong, Lu Doudou. The six of you were the top six in yesterday's competition, and you are exempted from the test today, so you are allowed to sit and watch. ”

This unexpected surprise made everyone in the kitchen stunned, but Bai Ko was the first to react, the first to walk out of the queue, and then the other five people stood up together, stood in a row again and saluted the masters, and then under the instructions of Pang's mother, they stood on the other side of the spectator seat, not standing with the chief steward and stewards.

The rest of the people, just like yesterday, drew lots while taking the roll call, standing behind the small stove with the same number according to the numbers drawn, and went to take their own ingredients in order and start cooking.

Nearly 30 people crowded into the same venue to try their cooking skills, and everyone's activity space was much smaller than yesterday, and today was hotter than yesterday, and they could sweat just by standing still.

It's great that you don't have to end up playing.

Bai Ko and Lu Doudou stood together, the two hooked their fingers, looked at each other secretly and smiled, their hearts relaxed.

The cooking time was still only half an hour, everyone made simple quick dishes, and after some tasting and scoring, the list of sixteen third-class chefs was finally settled.

In addition to the six people who were exempted from the examination, the masters selected the remaining ten, of which six were old people and four were newcomers.

In total, there are ten newcomers and six old people; Seven were women and nine were men.

It's a great idea to exempt the top six from yesterday's test today.

In the third-class kitchen, there are more newcomers than the elderly, and the old people want to rely on the old and sell the old to bully the newcomers, but they have to weigh it.

Sixteen cooks and cooks lined up again, standing in front of the spectator table and saluting the masters, and Pang's mother stepped forward and announced a new news.

After lunch, the third-class chefs will compete again in the kitchen, and the only winner will become the chef of the third young master, so the topic will also be given by the third young master.

As soon as Mother Pang finished speaking, the sixteen third-class cooks and cooks below were immediately in an uproar, everyone's faces were indelible with surprise, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the body of the young master of Shisun, and there were all kinds of fanatical feelings in their eyes.

Shisun Gu Yun sat upright peacefully, not moving at all, but his gaze calmly swept over the sixteen people, without looking at anyone in particular.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to serve the young master of the Yeguo Mansion, and he dislikes the unpalatable food made in the kitchen for three days and runs to the street to eat, who would have thought that he would take the opportunity of this assessment of the chef in the mansion to select a special chef!

Shisun, the most noble young master in the house, if you can serve him closely, won't it be all kinds of benefits in the future!

Bai Ko quietly clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down, and began to think in her heart about what flavors of food to curry favor with the third young master in the afternoon with her shallow experience, so as to increase her chances of winning.

If you want to see the Bai family's recipes handed down by the Bai family for several generations, being a chef for the third young master is a shortcut to achieve your goal.

Mother Pang didn't give the third-class cooks much time to calm down, and after announcing this decision, she motioned to Wen Gushan to bring people back, and lunch time was approaching.

And the rest of the eliminators, there are other mothers-in-law to take care of them, go back to the small courtyard where they live, forbid them to talk to others, watch them pack up their clothes, together with the twelve people who were brushed down yesterday, all sent out of the house before lunch, no one knows where they will be sent, and those old cooks have been in the house for many years, and now they have families, and they don't know what their families will do.

When they went out through the back door, the crying rang out all the way, and everyone working in the kitchen compound heard it, but no one dared to put down their work and go out to give them a ride.

This heavy atmosphere didn't gradually improve until the crying disappeared, anyway, it was a happy event that the third-class chef had fresh blood, not to mention that there was a competition after lunch, who wouldn't want to be the chef of the third young master.

The first-class chef has the right to be in charge, but the second- and third-class chefs do not, but the chef competition is limited to the third-class chef to participate, and it is absolutely impossible to say that other cooks and cooks are not envious, jealous and hateful.

No matter how uncomfortable I was, the lunch of the masters was more important, so I finally ended lunch time peacefully.

After the girls in each room and courtyard took away the food boxes, a little girl under the eldest lady came over to spread the word, asking Wen Gushan to arrange for someone to open all the cooking rooms in the courtyard, clean them, and let the third-class chefs make an afternoon snack with any cooking skills.

"Our young master is going to have a snack in the kitchen today."

After the little girl said this last sentence, she turned around and left proudly.

The kitchen immediately went into action, the third-class cooks and handymen didn't care about lunch, prepared pots, buckets, rags, brooms, and four stewards took the keys to open all the locked cooking rooms one by one.

Bai Ko was surprised to see that the largest single cooking room in the courtyard turned out to be a brick kiln-style oven, suitable for baking.

I just thought that such a big oven looked fresh, but after thinking about it, it was not something to make a fuss about.

In the capital, there are many Yi people from all over the world, in order to solve the problem of permanent residence of Yi people, the imperial court even built a Yi Ren Fang, which has a large population, prosperous business, a lot of rare goods from overseas, the first stop to be sent to the capital is Yi Ren Fang, want to eat unique flavor of food, Yi Ren Fang's various restaurants are definitely surprised.

What's so strange about having such a big oven in the Yeguo Mansion, and there is also one in the imperial kitchen of the palace.

However, it is not uncommon to have an oven, but it is really rare to have a dirty oven.

A good big oven is covered with cobwebs, how many years has it not been used!?

Bai Ko didn't dare to breathe the air that had been deposited with dust for several years, and now she didn't have time to clean such a big oven well, just sprinkling water and dusting had to do it firmly for a day, and then she had to clean the charcoal ash in the hearth, check whether the chimney was blocked, and then put firewood back in to make a big fire, disinfect the baking room with high temperature, bake a little thing casually, and check the integrity of the oven, especially if there are any safety hazards.

It would take several days to complete this whole set of steps, and the stewards knew that the next one would not be as good as the oven, so they just asked the handyman to roughly sweep the cobwebs and sprinkle water and dust the floor.

When the cleaning was completed, lunch time passed, and the first- and second-class cooks had nothing to do, so they looked forward to it on the corridor outside the kitchen gate, and when they saw the third young master coming, they quickly notified everyone in the courtyard.
