Chapter Seventy-Two: The Final Begins
Liu Yucian looked displeased: "What?" Do you want me to say it again? ”
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head, "No need, the slave knows." She knows very well that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Liu Yucian smiled again: "It's good that you understand!" Let's go down. Today, during the final of the Food Championship, you will be able to rest in your room. ”
When Lin Miao heard this, her heart was shocked, and a bitter and aggrieved feeling quietly crept into her heart. She didn't say anything more, just nodded and silently withdrew.
Huixian Tower in the early morning is very lively. In and out, busy guys; Guests who talk loudly and call friends; There are also shops that shout loudly in front of the door and usher in the delivery.
Liu Wanfu shopkeeper was in a good mood at this time, he stood at the door of Huixian Building, looked towards the road, and found that the time was still early, and the person he wanted to see had not yet come, and he couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction and expectation, as if the girl with spring was waiting for his lover.
At this time, in the backyard of Huixian Building, the guys were making the final confirmation of the game, including pots and pans, onions, ginger and garlic, cups, saucers, dishes and chopsticks. Three of the finalists have already arrived and are counting their knives and ingredients. There were also people in the audience one after another.
After Fan Erye carefully confirmed his knife, he looked around and found no Lin Miao. He was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help muttering, "This girl is really, she hasn't come here yet, what is the ink." ”
Not far away, Liu Yuchan and Chen Youzong had already sat down one after another, and they saw Fan Erye looking in this direction from a distance, so they nodded to him as a sign of encouragement. Second Master Fan hesitated, but still walked to the side of the eldest grandmother and the eldest young master.
"Qiyu eldest young master, eldest grandmother, Lin Miao has not arrived at the competition site yet, I'm worried that something happened to her, why don't I go find her?" Fan Erye stepped forward to report and expressed his worries.
Chen Youzong waved his hand and stopped him, "No need, you just have to play your level." We know about Lin Miao, you don't have to ask so much. ”
Second Master Fan, who was only a little worried, was even more worried after hearing the words of the eldest young master. What is Lin Miao, we know? Did something happen to Lin Miao? Fan Erye raised his eyes and looked at the expressions of the two, and there was nothing unusual. He was about to ask a detailed question, but was interrupted impatiently by Liu Yuchan, "Fan Er, go back to your own position, the game is about to start." ”
Second Master Fan had no choice but to say yes and returned to his position stupidly. But his eyes couldn't help but wander in the crowd, hoping to find Lin Miao's figure. However, after looking at it for a while, I didn't find the shadow of Lin Miao. Second Master Fan couldn't help but give up this kind of effort, he thought to himself, Lin Miao may have been taken away by the eldest young master and grandmother, this final, this girl is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to participate.
While he was thinking wildly, there was a commotion at the door of Huixian Tower, and the Queen Mother Feng drove up. Liu Wanfu, the shopkeeper who had been waiting for a long time, was busy leading everyone to greet him, and the long red carpet was directly spread from the door of Huixian Building to the backyard judges' seat.
I saw that in the center of the crowd, there was a gorgeous and wealthy woman clustered, her eyebrows were towering, her phoenix eyes were flying obliquely, and she was graceful and majestic. The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs carefully waited for the queen mother to enter the backyard of Huixian Tower, and everyone knelt on the ground and worshipped, and the sound of worship came and went, "The queen mother is a thousand years old!" ”
The sixth prince Shan Xiao followed behind the queen mother, dressed in white, and looked even more dignified.
The Empress Dowager walked slowly to the center of the judges' bench, where an upholstered brocade chair had already been prepared for her. She stood in the center, looking down at everyone with a majestic expression, and with a slight lift of her right hand, a little eunuch stepped forward and preached to everyone in a high-pitched and clear voice, "Flat!" ”
The people got up and sat down. The Empress Dowager beckoned Liu Wanfu to come over, and explained something in a low voice, but Liu Wanfu couldn't help nodding yes.
Shan Xiao glanced around, only three stove eyes were set up on the competition field, and the chefs who participated in the finals were all in place at this time, but he didn't see Lin Miao's figure. Shan Xiao frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he knew the reason. His eyes surrendered to Liu Wanfu, just in time to see that he had received his order from the Queen Mother, and straightened up. The eyes of the two looked at each other, and Liu Wanfu nodded at the sixth prince flatteringly and smiled slightly. This smile made Shan Xiao even more convinced of his thoughts. This Liu Wanfu is smart by himself!
Shan Xiao motioned for Xiao Lizi to come over, whispered a few words to him gently, and Xiao Lizi took the order and walked away.
"Everyone! Today is the final of our triennial food competition in Tianqi country. The Queen Mother and the Six Princes also came to the scene, and as the judges of this final, the chefs must give their best performance. Liu Wanfu smiled and announced loudly.
When Shan Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, when will I become a judge in the finals? This Liu Wanfu is really smart about himself, he is afraid that if he doesn't mention my name, I will feel that I have been left out.
Liu Wanfu didn't notice Shan Xiao's reaction, and he continued to happily announce, "First of all, let's welcome the four judges of the preliminary round again: Tang Jingliang, Zhang Liankai, Zhao Zhiying, Liu Heyu. I believe that the audience who has watched the preliminary round is already very familiar with these four judges, so I will not go into detail here. Next, let's introduce our three chefs who entered the finals: Chef Fan Er from Chen Gongfu, Chef Tao Qing from Lin Wangfu, and Chef Shao Chao from Xiangguo Mansion. ”
After listening to Liu Wanfu's introduction, the audience began to whisper.
"Huh? Yesterday it was obviously the semi-finals, and there should be four chefs in the finals, but how did it become three today? ”
"Maybe I retreated."
"Wouldn't it? The one who didn't attend today seems to be a little girl named Lin Miao, she is the dark horse of this food competition, and even Chef Li Yuanming lost to her. ”
"Who knows, maybe it's to balance the strength of several families, you see that Lin Miao and Fan Er are both from Duke Chen's Mansion, if you don't cancel a place, then Duke Chen's Mansion will be too advantageous."
Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper pressed his hands weakly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he announced, "Okay! I would now like to announce the rules for this final. There are three links in this final, which is different from the preliminary round in that the preliminary round only sets the topic and does not limit the ingredients. And in the finals, the topic and ingredients are the same. In each link, each judge has one vote. After all three links are completed, the top three will be ranked according to the total number of votes. ”
Everyone understood the rules and nodded their heads in recognition of the rules of the game. The three chefs also nodded slightly, each secretly cheering up in their hearts, wanting to shine in front of the Queen Mother and the Six Princes.
