Chapter Eighty-Three: The Kitchen God Conference
"Hahaha......." Cheng bit Jin and laughed: "Lord Eldest Sun is too naΓ―ve, the Guan Long family has been prosperous since the Warring States Period and has experienced countless dynasties. They control the economy of almost every dynasty. Do you know how the Sui Dynasty fell in the first place? Do you know how my Datang rose? It's because the family abandoned Emperor Yang of Sui and supported me in the Tang Dynasty! If they were to be destroyed so easily, would it still be called a family? β
"Even if the Chef God Conference is successfully held, how much of a role can it play?"
Cheng Yanjin shook his head.
I just think it's ridiculous.
"That's it, let's talk about this matter later, let the Ministry of Rites preside over the Kitchen God Conference first!" Li Shimin said.
"The emperor is wise!"
Cheng Biting Jin pouted.
Chao Changsun Wuji made a grimace.
It's kind of funny.
Li Zhi, who had not spoken, slowly walked to Li Shimin's side: "After listening to the argument between Lord Changsun and General Cheng, Erchen has an idea!" β
"Oh?"
Everyone looked sideways.
Li Zhi said: "After the Kitchen God Conference, Erchen has plenty of time. Can you leave the matter of curbing the family to the sons and daughters? β
One sentence amused everyone.
Looking at the two-foot-tall little Li Zhi, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Zhi'er, do you know what a family is?" β
"I don't know, but I can take my time!"
How could Li Zhi not know?
It's just that as a three-year-old child, he can't act too rebellious, which makes people suspicious.
"Father, don't forget, your son is a genius! Any book, as long as you read it once, can be recited fluently. The affairs of the family, I believe that Erchen will figure it out soon! β
"No need......."
Li Shimin is not stupid.
How can a national event like this be played by Li Zhi casually?
In case it gets messed up.
The revenge of the Maison will be devastating.
"Eldest grandson Aiqing, since you have a plan, do as you say! Remember to report to me at any time, I want to know every step of your implementation! β
"Obey orders!"
Li Shimin agreed to make a move to the family.
also handed over this matter to the eldest grandson Wuji.
Li Zhileng said: "Father, are you looking down on your sons?" β
"When you grow up, you can share your father's worries. It's time to focus on studying, and ...... At the current Kitchen God Conference, my father is looking forward to you becoming the first generation of Kitchen God! β
"Ugh......."
Li Zhi was speechless.
Sure enough, it's still a matter of age.
A three-year-old doll handles national affairs, and it makes people feel impossible when they think about it. What's more, his competitor is the experienced eldest grandson Wuji. Compared with the two, Li Shimin certainly chose him.
"That's it!"
"Anyway, I just want to have fun, since my father doesn't agree, I didn't say it!" Li Zhi pouted.
The Chef Conference is about to begin.
The crowd went to prepare.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wen Daya, at the age of seventy, walked to the presiding stage with a slow step. Holding the gift book in his hand, he shouted word by word: "The first one, the Kitchen God Conference...... Begin! β
At his age, retirement is long overdue.
It was Li Shimin who was reluctant to let him go, so he insisted on staying until now.
Looking at the way he presided over the assembly, he swallowed slowly and swayed, as if a gust of wind could blow it down. If you can't get up in one breath, you may pass.
Everyone at the scene sweated for him.
Cheng Yanjin walked up to Li Shimin and scratched his head: "Your Majesty, is Lord Wen okay?" β
"What do you mean by that?"
"I heard that he has not been in good health, if he can't hold on to it and collapse...... Then the Kitchen God Conference will become his funeral, how unlucky! β
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Shimin scolded.
He was ostensibly calm.
In fact, I was worried.
Wen Daya announced the rules of the assembly.
All chefs in place.
"Zhi'er, today you want to grow a face for your father and become a kitchen god, do you have confidence?" Before the game, Li Shimin called Li Zhi.
Sitting next to her was Changle Princess Li Liqing, who smiled and said, "Father, don't worry!" If the younger brother can't become a kitchen god, then who deserves to be a kitchen god? β
"It was because of his participation that Cheng Chubi and I both gave up automatically...... Otherwise, huh! β
Li Lizhi thinks about it now, and she still feels a pity.
If Li Zhi didn't participate, she would definitely have the strength to become a kitchen god.
"Father...... Erchen will do his best! Li Zhi said.
"Hmmm! Go ahead! β
"Yes!"
Li Zhi took a very delicate and gorgeous bag from Luo Tong's hand on the side, and walked to the arena step by step.
"What's in that bag? Special ingredients? Li Shimin looked at Luo Tong.
"It's ......."
Luo Tong promised Li Zhi that he couldn't reveal the contents of the bag in advance, so he replied: "Yes, the emperor, it is indeed a special ingredient." So far, no one in my Datang has eaten it. β
"Oh?" Li Shimin was very happy: "It seems that Zhi'er is very well prepared, but I am looking forward to it more and more." β
"Zhi'er is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely surprise the emperor!" The eldest grandson queen said.
"Hmm!"
Li Shimin nodded.
β¦β¦
At this time, Li Lizhi and Cheng Chubi exchanged heads, secretly glaring: "Princess, it's good that we didn't go." The chef even had a back hand and prepared special ingredients. β
"Yes, yes, this time the kitchen god, it must be him!"
Much to look forward to!
Attention of the audience!
Li Zhi walked to his position and waved his hand at Wen Daya: "My lord, I'm ready, when will it start?" β
Around Li Zhi, there are many chefs.
They all came from all over the world to compete.
Among them, there are many imperial chefs in the palace.
As long as you are skilled in cooking, you can participate.
"Your Highness, don't worry, wait for the old minister to confirm the list ......of participants." Wen Daya opened the book, almost put her face on the book, and read the names of the contestants slowly.
When I read Li Zhi.
The rest of the chefs were amazed.
Joining them in the competition turned out to be a prince. And this is too young, not yet four years old. Can this also be cooked?
It can't be a predetermined kitchen god, right?
Thinking of this......
Everybody's worried!
"Your Highness, what are your ingredients?" Li Nan, the envoy of the Nanni tribe, was not far from Li Zhi and asked very curiously.
"Guess what?"
"It can't really be yellow mud, right?"
He remembered that some time ago, Li Zhi asked for a batch of yellow mud from him. I thought it was just for fun, but now it's more than that.
"That's right! Hey...... But keep it a secret! Li Zhi winked at him.
"Huh?"
Li Nan was shocked!
Li Zhi actually used yellow mud as an ingredient?
This stuff is hard to swallow, can it be made into a delicacy? Not to mention winning the championship?
"Your Highness, you don't want to be a kitchen god anymore?"
"Yes!"
"Then you still use yellow mud as an ingredient?" Li Nan shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness feeds on yellow mud, which is the greatest respect for my Nanni clan, but the Kitchen God Conference, it is not trivial, you better change the ingredients!" Don't delay you because of the contemptible clan! β
