Chapter 004: Knife Skill Competition

Most people may think that tasting taste is only about taste, but in fact, people's five tastes are all figured out, and in the case of limited vision, the corresponding sense of taste and smell will also be affected to a certain extent.

Obviously, it is not only Jian Ning who is stumped by this question, but also many people. Just listen to the constant sound of spoons hitting porcelain bowls to know that many people are constantly drinking their soup.

After about a stick of incense, Jian Ning also tasted seventy-seven eighty-eight, but the last taste of the material was not very certain.

Jian Ning originally thought that she would be the fastest, after all, her sense of taste and smell were different from ordinary people, but at this time, she seemed to hear that someone had put the bowl down, and felt that someone was walking past her.

She was slightly surprised that she was one step faster than her. Behind him, will it be Yin Jian, or the person from Tianxiangyuan, or the rest of the people?

Realizing that this was not the time to think about this, Jian Ning immediately put aside what was in her mind, settled down, and finally tasted the soup. He also put down the bowl in his hand.

raised her hand and signaled, and immediately a palace maid stepped forward and untied the black cloth covering her eyes. Jian Ning looked up at the front, and really thought well, the person just now was from Tianxiangyuan. Until this moment, Jian Ning had to admit that this was a very strong opponent.

Although the opponent is very strong, it will not let Jian Ning mess up. Jian Ning walked to the table in front of her with confident steps, picked up the pen and quickly wrote down what she had just tasted.

In fact, Jian Ning didn't notice that when she was surprised by others, others were also surprised by her.

After the man from Tianxiangyuan finished writing the last stroke, he looked at the woman next to him who was writing quickly.

She didn't have the slightest flustery, she didn't have the slightest nervousness, she was so calm and calm from beginning to end. What surprised him even more. I thought that my sense of taste and smell was unmatched, but I didn't expect that there was such a woman in the world who could compete with her.

With such a warm gaze, it was impossible for Jian Ning not to notice it. But Jian Ning still wrote to herself. Without looking up, a shallow voice spat out of his mouth: "Has anyone ever taught you that it is rude to look at a woman like this!" ”

The man was stunned when he heard this. Then he walked back to his original position with a black face.

Jian Ning smiled faintly, dropped the last stroke, and walked back. After that, there were gradually some people who went up, but they all seemed to be under great pressure. After writing it, I even began to sweat constantly and my hands trembled.

No matter who is eliminated in this game, Jian Ning. Yin Jian and the others all entered the next level along the way.

At this time, when you look at the place that was still lively, now half of the people are left. You don't have to think about it to know that the next second competition is not much easier.

Led by a group of eunuchs, the crowd continued to walk forward, and finally stopped in front of the main hall of this palace.

Looking at this magnificent palace, Jian Ning had to sigh that the royal family was rich in the end.

This time, a different group of officials came out, but the difference from just now was that Jian Ning recognized at a glance the person standing at the front. It was Ai Gaoyi.

Jian Ning subconsciously glanced at Ruan Zijin and found that although she had a strong hatred in her eyes, she still knew how to control herself. I was also relieved a lot.

As just now, the rules are read out by a father-in-law. This time it's a knife fight, divided into two rounds, with three people eliminated in each round.

This time two people can play. Although Liu Leshan is a hundred times stronger than Ruan Zijin in terms of cooking convenience, this time he is only better than knife work, and Jian Ning still chose Ruan Zijin after weighing it.

Ruan Zijin is strong in martial arts, and his control of the knife should be very flexible. If you really compare, you will definitely not be worse than yourself.

The first round was themed on the upcoming birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, and a birthday star with a size of 15 inches was carved. The nine fastest finishers advance to the next round.

For Jian Ning, this is not a difficult task. Because it needs to be 15 inches in size. Jian Ning chose two long pumpkins.

Quickly drew the drawings on the side and handed them to Ruan Zijin. Let her take one of the pumpkins and carve the pattern on the drawing.

Ruan Zijin took the drawings and looked at them and nodded. Then he took the sword that had just been taken away from the hand of a eunuch, drew it out of its sheath, and turned its wrist rapidly.

Originally, Jian Ning thought that Zijin would be the only one who would hold a sword to carve, but what she didn't expect was that there was actually another person on the field. That Jian Ning was not too surprised, it was the man from Tianxiang Garden who had just played against her.

This time, Jian Ning finally saw the old imperial chef on the scene. The corners of Jian Ning's mouth smiled slightly, this time she would definitely not be a step slower in knife work.

Jian Ning took her box, opened it, and quickly switched between the various knives. This time, even Jian Ning herself was shocked. I didn't expect that today's state was much better than I expected.

Many of the officials who were originally sitting there were attracted by Jian Ning's almost magical technique. Many people can't even see how she operates, but they can clearly see that under her hands, the appearance of a birthday star is showing up little by little.

Before a stick of incense burned out, Jian Ning and Ruan Zijin stopped almost at the same time.

Jian Ning looked at the part that Ruan Zijin had completed, and smiled knowingly. Zijin really didn't let himself down.

Jian Ning quickly combined the birthday star in her hand with the chassis decoration of the old pine completed by Ruan Zijin with a bamboo skewer.

At an almost impossible speed, Jian Ning and Ruan Zijin took the lead in completing the task and entering the next round.

After all, knife work is still a skill that Jian Ning is proud of, and when passing through Tianxiang Garden, Jian Ning gave them a very beautiful smile with the attitude of a victor.

After a stick of incense, the results are in, and the first nine to finish advance to the next round.

The title of this competition is the six people with the most realistic carving to enter the final competition.

The essence of carving is realistic. A successful work can be done in a real way.

"Ning'er, what should we carve this time?" Ruan Zijin asked as he observed the people around him.

Jian Ning lowered her head and began to ponder. It's winter, and there is no such thing as butterflies, otherwise you could have made a little trick to attract butterflies with carved flowers, but now it is estimated that it is impossible.

Looking at this place, it is a palace, and it is impossible to prepare anything else for you, it is really a bit difficult to do.

In fact, there is no strict standard for whether this kind of carving is realistic or not, it depends on what the judges say. So you have to think about what exactly is carved to make those people feel like.

"Ning'er, haven't you thought about it yet? Time waits for no one! Ruan Zijin urged again beside him.

After a while, looking at Ai Gaoyi who was sitting there, Jian Ning showed a big smile on her face, and said to Ruan Zijin: "Don't worry, I know what to win." ”

After speaking, Jian Ning took a white radish on the side, and her wrist began to move quickly.

Ruan Zijin was still on the side and didn't come back to his senses, looking at the white radish in Jian Ning's hand in a daze. Little by little, Ruan Zijin vaguely saw that this was a humanoid appearance.

"Ning'er, are you planning to engrave someone?" Ruan Zijin asked softly on the side.

"Well, I carved it as Ai Gaoyi." Jian Ning replied faintly.

Ruan Zijin was inconceivable for a moment, why did Ning'er carve Ai Gaoyi at this time? Since she saw Ai Gaoyi just now, she has been trying hard to endure it, for fear that if she gets out of control, she will raise her sword and kill Ai Gaoyi. But for the sake of Ning'er and Liu Leshan, she has to endure it, it doesn't matter if she and Ai Gaoyi die together, but she can't hurt Ning'er and them.

But now, what Ning Er is concentrating on carving is actually Ai Gaoyi, the person she hates the most in the world.

"Ning'er, why?" Ruan Zijin asked in disbelief.

"Zijin, I know you can't accept it, but if you want to win, this is a good choice." Jian Ning carefully carved the radish in her hand, and explained lightly, "This radish is carved by Ai Gaoyi, as long as he says something like it, who in the rest of the people dares to say that it doesn't look like it." ”

"And what I carved today is the appearance of him wearing the prime minister's court clothes, and he is the only one who can dress like this in Yuan Chu. If he says not like it, it is clear that he is not like being a prime minister, and if such a sentence is said, I don't know how many political enemies he will hold on to him. So he won't say no. ”

After listening to Jian Ning's words, although Ruan Zijin understood, he still couldn't accept it, and said, "Ning'er, isn't there any other way?" Does it have to be this way? How can you lose with your skills? ”

"I believe I won't lose, but I don't trust those who are in power, especially Ai Gaoyi. We've had a holiday before, and whether or not we can continue to play this time is actually all about his words, so I can't give him any chance to eliminate me. Jian Ning said firmly.

"Ning'er, in fact, sometimes, I think you are too smart, and I even think that you are very suitable for those fights" Ruan Zijin sighed in a low voice and muttered.

Although Ruan Zijin said it very lightly, Jian Ning still heard it. I can't help but think, is it suitable? Possibly. But I don't like it. The modern workplace is much better than here, and even more cruel than here!

In that utilitarian society, some people are really counted as betrayals and relatives, and they are counted as having nothing. If you can become a first-class chef in a five-star hotel before the age of 30, it is not enough to have strength. More often than not, it's the brain. It's just that Jian Ning hasn't wanted to admit it, she wants to keep a pure heart.

The two pillars of incense burned out, and the game ended. Everyone presented their work. Jian Ning first paid attention to the situation of Tianxiangyuan, and to Jian Ning's surprise, the carving of Tianxiangyuan actually coincided with her, and it was also Ai Gaoyi wearing court clothes.

Jian Ning suddenly smiled, it seems that she is not the most calculating person on this field. At least, Tianxiangyuan did it earlier than her, that is to say, whether it was the old imperial chef or the man's idea, there was an old fox on this field who was deeper than her! (To be continued) R580
