Chapter 39 Huixian Tower
On the night of the end of the food competition in Chen Gong's Mansion, someone saw Xia Fangcun quietly coming out of the eldest grandmother's room, and the next day, this person disappeared and never appeared in Chen Gong's Mansion again, and no one knew where he went.
For a while, Lin Miao became a celebrity in the kitchen of Gong Chen's Mansion, and everyone knew that she was a little prodigy who won over Chef Xia. But Lin Miao himself is very sober, and his cooking skills are where he is. Therefore, she was quite calm and calm about the sudden false name, and she still followed Fan Erye's ass to learn art very low-key, and humbly asked the chefs for advice. The chefs, who were still wary and resistant to her, found that she was very modest and polite after contacting her a few times, and she gradually got better.
The triennial food competition of Tianqi Kingdom is approaching in a blink of an eye, and the imperial court has also sent people to each mansion to confirm the name of the registered chef and verify his identity. When he saw Lin Miao, the official who came to verify couldn't help but be stunned, and asked the eldest grandmother uncertainly, "Mrs. General, is this Lin Miao really the one in front of you?" ”
Seeing Liu Yuciao's affirmation, he couldn't help but look Lin Miao up and down again in surprise. I saw that this little girl was about ten years old, with round eyes, double eyelids, long eyelashes, and flickering and very spiritual. The thin lips are tightly pursed, and the pink lips are like a layer of honey. "Chen Gongfu is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, at a young age, he actually has the cooking skills to represent Chen Gongfu in the food competition, which is really terrifying."
The eldest grandmother didn't pick up, seemed to be pleased, and seemed to smile helplessly.
After verifying the identities of Fan Erye and Lin Miao, the official solemnly reminded him, "The food competition will start the day after tomorrow, and I also asked my wife to arrange for the two chefs to settle down at the venue early." ”
"Okay, the official walks slowly, Chunxing, send off guests."
Chun Xing hurriedly handed some of the silver she had prepared to the official, and then led him out of the door.
The eldest grandmother looked at Fan Erye and Lin Miao standing in front of her, and said with a stern expression, "You two go and clean up, and go to the venue with me and the eldest young master tomorrow." This competition is very important to Chen Gongfu, you must show all your skills to win this competition. ”
Second Master Fan and Lin Miao hurriedly responded, "Yes!" ”
The venue of the Tianqi Food Contest is located in the first restaurant in Beijing: Huixian Building. The chefs are also settled in the rooms of the restaurant.
A total of 24 chefs from 12 prefectures participated in the competition. The competition is divided into four groups, each group of three palaces, a total of 6 chefs, to determine the top two in the group. A total of 8 chefs who won the top two in the group stage will face each other by draw. The four winning chefs will then compete in a round of competition, and the judges will vote for the top three. The top three winners of this competition will be seconded to the palace to prepare a feast meal. And this feast, everyone speculated that it should be prepared for the crowning ceremony of the six princes.
The judges of this competition have a total of 4 people, and 2 are famous imperial chefs in the palace: Tang Jingliang and Zhang Liankai. The other two are the champions of the last two food competitions: Zhao Zhiying and Liu Heyu.
It is said that in the final match, the Queen Mother will also participate in this competition as a judge.
Second Master Fan and Lin Miao followed the eldest grandmother and the eldest young master to Huixian Building. After getting off the carriage, Lin Miao looked up, next to the tall restaurant, there was a large vermilion column, on which a wine flag was unfurled. Looking at the right place, on the wide plaque, there are three big characters written on the dragon: Huixian Building. The restaurant has three floors, the carved eaves reflect the sun, the painting building flies the clouds, the eaves angle is like the swallow spreading its wings, and the corridor hall is like the stars and the moon. The lights inside and outside the restaurant are all over the place, which sets off the atmosphere of this game with joy. In order to prevent accidents on the field, the official family sent a lot of manpower to patrol and guard, and the whole atmosphere became a lot stricter.
As soon as Liu Yucian and the four of them walked to the door, the shopkeeper of Huixian Building greeted them, "Guest officer, please!" How many of you are here to participate in the competition, or are you here to play sharp? ”
When she went out, the woman couldn't say much, so Liu Yuchan let Chen Youzong go in front and followed him by herself. Chen Youzong replied, "We are here to participate in the competition, and we also want to eat something first. ”
"If you are participating in the competition, please register your name with me, and we will arrange the meals. If a few of you are purely here for dinner, it is really inconvenient for us to receive them these days, so we can only grieve you to go to the next few houses. Xiao Er smiled brightly, and led the four of them into Huixian Building as he spoke.
As soon as he entered Huixian Building, Lin Miao was shocked by the grand restaurant layout in front of him. I saw that in the middle of the hall, there were 20 mahogany square tables in four rows and five columns, and in the middle of the back of the hall, a staircase went up, and two steps on the left and right were connected to the second floor. At the back of the stairs is a private room, a total of 3 large private rooms, there are also some private rooms on the second floor, the rest are guest rooms, and the third floor is the upper room.
After registering the name, the shopkeeper arranged Lin Miao and Fan Erye on the second floor, and Liu Yuchan and Chen Youzong on the upper room on the third floor.
Xiao Er nodded and led the four to their rooms, and handed them the sign in his hand as he walked, "Guest officer, please take this brand, during the food competition, this brand is the voucher for your consumption in Huixian Building." During the competition, we do not have a cashier, and all purchases are recorded on this brand. You have just paid some deposits, and you will settle when you leave, and you will refund more and make up for less. If your chef wins the top three places in the competition, all four of them will be free of charge at Hui Xian Lou. ”
Lin Miao looked carefully at the small red sign in his hand, and saw that his room number was written on it: 203. stretched out his head to look at Fan Erye's again, only to see that his sign read: 210.
When he walked to the second floor, Xiao Er stretched out his hand to greet another runner and said to him, "Bring these two guests to 203 and 210." The runner looked at Fan Erye and Lin Miao, and then looked at Liu Yucian and Chen Youzong, and reluctantly agreed to this errand. Lin Miao guessed that he saw it and led Fan Erye and Lin Miao to the room, which was an errand job. And the second little man of this shop led the eldest grandmother and the eldest young master to their room, maybe there would be a reward.
Liu Yucian said another word to Fan Erye and Lin Miao, "You prepare well for the game, the eldest young master and I will no longer watch you alone, during the game, we will only sit in the audience and watch your watch." After a pause, she said, "Don't let us down." ”
Second Master Fan nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”
Lin Miao also hurriedly responded, "The slave understands. ”
Liu Yucian nodded with satisfaction, and turned around to signal that Chen Youzong could go upstairs. The two of them, led by the shopkeeper, walked up to the upper room on the third floor.
