83_83499 The shadow of the hands on the sundial moved little by little, and finally stopped at the end of the cooking competition. The eunuch in charge of guarding saw it, and hurriedly picked up the gong hammer beside him and struck it hard.

"Boom!"

Yang Gonggong glanced at the situation of the audience, and saw that the cooks had basically put down the work in their hands, shook off the dust, and shouted in his voice: "The time is coming—chefs, please stop, and prepare to serve the dishes immediately——"

Du Qiyue was decorating the cake, and after Yang Gonggong's shouting stopped, he squeezed out the last bit of cream in the piping bag and made a tender green leaf.

"The timing was just right!" Du Qiyue casually threw away the piping bag in his hand, and looked at the dozens of small square cakes marked with delicate flowers in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief, his craftsmanship really did not regress at all!

Da Mao's eyes next to him are worth it, because Zhao Yiyun doesn't like those flowers and leaves, Du Qiyue used to make cream cakes only make some simple patterns, and then put some fruit decorations, but never did piping flowers, this is the first time Da Mao saw the art of decorating flowers, and he gasped again and again in surprise.

Obviously it's just a piece of kraft paper and a strange little iron mouth, but in Du Qiyue's hands, I don't know how to make all kinds of beautiful flowers and leaves, it's really a god.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, this, how do these flowers look like the real thing, no, these flowers you make are more beautiful than the real ones." Da Mao swallowed his saliva, staring at the cream cake in front of him with bright eyes, and kept exclaiming in his heart, such a delicate and beautiful snack, it was really the first time he had seen such a big one.

Not to mention that Da Mao saw it for the first time, and all the dignitaries and nobles here have never seen it, those brothers and sisters who love flowers and flowers have long stretched their necks and stared, and they are looking forward to Du Qiyue offering snacks as soon as possible.

"That child really lives up to the emperor's affection, and the concubine looks at the table from a distance as if there are clusters of flowers, and I don't know what it looks like to wait for the snacks to be served." Queen Zhang couldn't help but smash her mouth, and she was very happy with that snack in her heart.

"With this kind of craftsmanship, this kid is really amazing." Empress Dowager Zhang Hui leaned on the stool and said meaningfully.

"I think it's just right, I only gave a cook to Shu Liuguo more than ten years ago, it's hard to eat the food they made for Xun Yu all these years, this time let this child go back with her, I will choose a few of the best ones from here to give to Xun Yu, and after Xun Yu returns to Shu Liuguo, he can also eat some meals that suit his heart." Ju Yanyang raised his hand and patted it on the armrest of the stool, and said with a smile.

When Empress Zhang heard that Ju Yanyang was going to give something to Princess Haoyu again, she felt a little unhappy, and was about to open her mouth to ask Ju Yanyang to dismiss this, when she saw her father shaking his head at her, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Fu, was the imperial master, and the position where he sat was not far from Princess Yunyu, just now Ju Yanyang and Princess Xunyu said that they wanted to recognize Du Qiyue as their son, and then they heard Ju Yanyang mention this again, and he knew that Ju Yanyang really wanted to recognize Du Qiyue. He didn't think about it, he just thought that the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui had moved to ask Princess Haoyu to recognize the child, Ju Yanyang was afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui would do something about the identity of the child, so he simply recognized the next one, which could not only dispel the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui's thoughts, but also alleviate the contradictions on Princess Haoyu's side.

Zhang Fuzheng saw that Empress Zhang was about to speak, so he immediately shook his head, afraid that Empress Zhang would say the wrong thing and make Ju Yanyang angry. His daughter, she doesn't have any bad intentions, but her brain is sometimes unclear, and she always doesn't like the emperor, otherwise she wouldn't have been a queen for all these years, and she hasn't given birth to a little prince.

Not far from the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui sat the Zhang family, Zhang Taifu and her two sons sat at a long table in front, and his wife Wang and Brother Yu sat at a table in the back. Brother Yu'er didn't take his eyes off Du Qiyue after seeing Du Qiyue enter the Taihe Palace, and when he heard Yang Gonggong announce that he was going to offer food, he immediately sorted out the clothes on his body, afraid that he would be seen by Du Qiyue if he had something inappropriate.

"My good brother, what's wrong with you, what are you doing with your clothes?" Wang didn't notice that Brother Yu'er's eyes were always on Du Qiyue, and she knew that Brother Yu had torn the clothes on her body three or four times, and she realized that something was wrong.

"Mother, I'm just tidying up my clothes. Mother, do you see anything wrong with me, whether the clothes are worn well, and whether the makeup on the face has been stained by sweat? Brother Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped it up and down on his face, and asked a little nervously.

Wang pinned the hair that was a little scattered from Brother Yu'er's sideburns behind his ears, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, it's all good, my baby brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

At this time, the chefs have already begun to serve dishes, starting with cold dishes, followed by hot dishes and soups, and finally pastries. Du Qiyue stood on the edge of the stove, looked at the reflection reflected in the copper basin filled with water, briefly sorted out his appearance, and then raised his head and stood aside.

By looking up, Du Qiyue's gaze quickly turned around on the high platform, and finally stopped at Zhao Yiyun's body, not enough for him to look at it much, but in a second or two he withdrew his gaze and half-bowed his head again. Du Qiyue had long forgotten all the rules that Gonggong Yang said before entering the palace just now, but it would never be wrong to keep his head down and not look around.

Brother Yu blushed excitedly when he saw Du Qiyue's eyes turn to his direction, he touched his hot face with the back of his hand, his lips moved a few times, and finally leaned into Wang's ear, and whispered: "The master I have been telling you about in the past two days who sells pastries in the night market is here." ”

"The guy who coaxed you into buying a whole bunch of them every time?" Wang said with some displeasure in his eyes.

"What coaxed me, people didn't say a few words to me, I bought those snacks myself." Brother Yu said with a pout.

Wang touched Brother Yu'er's head, and said with some warning in his voice: "I don't know if I didn't speak, I don't know if I coaxed you, my mother only told you, don't move your mind, people like us will never marry my brother to a cook!" ”

"Mother, why are you doing this, you and my father used to say that my marriage is as long as I am happy, and there is no shortage of people in our family to marry, why do you regret it now?" Brother Yu said unhappily.

"That's a premise, and the premise is that you're not messing around." Wang said.

"What a fool I am, I just like him anyway!" Brother Yu turned around, seemingly unwilling to say anything more to his mother.

Wang had no choice but to sprinkle his anger on Du Qiyue's body, and looked at Du Qiyue with a strong sense of pickiness in his eyes. Du Qiyue seems to be as dignified as a crown of jade, but it's a pity that she is a cook, even if she is elected to the Imperial Catering Division this time, she is just a place to cook, and she is still a chef, how can she allow her baby brother to marry such a person.

Brother Yu has been arrogant since he was a child, and he must get what he believes in, although the Wang family has clearly expressed his opposition this time, but he has secretly thought of an idea, after the kitchen competition is over, the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui will definitely recruit him and his mother to Xiancheng Palace, but he took advantage of the Empress Dowager's happiness to ask him to marry, and let Du Qiyue join their Zhang family, so that he can not leave the house
