Seeing Zhu Jing's table, the three top nobles and six pairs of eyes all looked at him, but Chu Ying still looked indifferent. However, after complaining, he suddenly changed his words, "But this pumpkin soup is good, fragrant, with a hint of umami, after I go back and wait for it to be planted, this pumpkin will leave me five catties every month!" I can say okay, I don't have any money, I don't want it if it's expensive! ”

Qi Jingshan also laughed: "I'm old, this spicy taste is too spicy to my throat, I often cough in winter, this taste is indeed a little unbearable." But this potato is crispy, and if it is simply fried with vinegar, it should taste good. Moreover, I am also very curious about the method of boiling potatoes in salt water and then peeling and mashing them into a puree. Of course, this pumpkin soup is better. ”

"If it is planted, it will be good to leave me three or five catties of potatoes every month like pumpkins."

When Ge Yong heard this, he was already grinning unconsciously. He had also tasted both dishes, and the taste was secondary, and from the taste alone, he was already vaguely aware of the role of these things in place of rice noodles. If it is really easy to grow, and can use some wasteland to grow, then he is sure that many farmers should be interested in experimenting.

Rather than the dilemma of having to dig up the roots and turf of trees and eat them in a year of famine, and the misery of having to swallow it in the stomach knowing that eating Guanyin soil would lead to death, as long as these things from overseas are easier to grow than wheat and rice, why not promote them?

So, Old Lady Ge said with a smile: "Zhang Shou, as long as it is something you grow here in the capital, you will keep everything for me when you turn around...... Ten pounds. There are a lot of people in my family, and there are not many points left! ”

At this moment, Princess Yongping only felt that today's imperial chef selection competition seemed to have become an ingredient promotion conference, and the six people in front of her were either senior, or had great merit, or the saint was in the middle of the year, but did not care too much about the taste, but more about the ingredients from overseas. She had been cautious not moving her chopsticks just now, but she finally couldn't help but stretch out her chopsticks.

Seeing that Zhu Ying noticed that she only had a shredded potato, the corners of her mouth sneered, Princess Yongping, who had long been used to it, didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, and after tasting it carefully, she didn't experience the taste of being too spicy, and the just right amount of spiciness, but it stimulated the fragrance, and she was not only not disgusted, but also had the urge to taste two more bites.

Fortunately, she has always had a strong ability to restrain herself, so she put down her chopsticks and scooped a spoonful of pumpkin soup, and after drinking it, she couldn't help but light up her eyes, only to feel that this slightly sweet taste perfectly relieved the residual spicy taste in her mouth.

It was she who tasted it like this, and when she looked up again, she found that the two dishes were empty. Zhu Ying even looked at her innocently and said: "There are so many chefs who are running for the election, and there are so many dishes, so we only need to taste every dish that is sent, otherwise how can we have the appetite to eat other dishes next, how can we eat to the end?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shou suddenly sighed. Having said that, it sounds very reasonable, but Zhu Ying took advantage of Princess Yongping's inattention, secretly moved to the side, and whispered to the little eunuch to keep it for Ah Liu, when he didn't hear it?

So, he could only cough and say, "I forgot that such a dish should not be too much, and it is best to take one bite per person." Moreover, it is best to prepare tea for people to rinse their mouths, so as not to leave an aftertaste in the mouth, which will affect the judgment of the subsequent dishes. Although it is impossible to be absolutely fair in this world, we must at least be relatively fair. ”

His words were immediately strongly agreed by Ge Yong, and Chu Kuan saw that Princess Yongping nodded, and immediately summoned a small eunuch and ordered him to go down to pass the word. After a while, Lu Sanlang actually stepped upstairs.

The little fat man smiled and smiled, and then said seriously: "Teacher's idea is not wrong at all, I have also noticed it." Moreover, I feel that the taste of the dishes is actually the more likely to suffer losses the later you go, but when you judge the score, the more you are in the front, the more you suffer, because there are not many dishes in the front as a control, so it is easy to lower the evaluation. ”

"So, I suggest that you might as well remember a general impression of the taste first, and then wait for the dishes to be eaten before judging the whole, how about it?"

What kind of person was Lu Xiaopang in the past, among these people here, there are people like Weinan Bo Zhang Kang who are so impressed, and there are also people like Qi Jingshan Chu Ying who have never heard of it in person, however, what kind of person he is now, everyone in this side has already seen it, and they all feel that this kid is simply a thief and a thief.

Therefore, no one is surprised that Lu Saburo is so calm to preside over today's affairs and make such a suggestion. Zhang Shou, who is nominally a teacher, said with a smile: "This method is very good, otherwise the first dishes sent will inevitably have a biased score, and while eating, I will make a comment by the way, and I have a number in my heart." ”

"After all, if you eat too much and have a mixed taste, you may not be able to remember what the first few dishes tasted like. However, if it is only the final summary judgment, there are also inconveniences. Lu Sanlang, if you think about it, everyone here may remember it well, but after ordinary people have eaten more than ten or twenty dishes, they can really remember clearly what the aftertaste of the first dish was? ”

Seeing that Lu Saburo was slightly stunned, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "I think it's okay to do this, every five or six dishes are served, let everyone make a judgment and screen out the two best dishes, so that we can make the most appropriate evaluation before the taste is forgotten." Of course, if you think I'm not doing this well, you can start judging it right away. ”

Lu Sanlang is such a smart person, he instantly realized that Zhang Shou changed the mixed evaluation of thirty or forty chefs to make these thirty or forty dishes, and changed it to a phased evaluation of every five or six people, and in the end, it was easy to screen out a certain number of people to give extra points, which was convenient.

At that moment, he immediately nodded heavily and said, "This method is simply wonderful!" He just wanted to say that I would go down to pass the word, and then he remembered that there were still Princess Yongping and the eunuch Chu Kuan, who was the master of ceremonies, and immediately asked with a smile: "Teacher, what do the princess and Grandpa Chu think of this idea?" ”

Princess Yongping only groaned, then nodded and said: "Dr. Zhang's idea is really good, even if it is me, after eating ten or twenty dishes, ask me how the first one is, most of them can't remember, just judge five dishes once." ”

Seeing Lu Sanlang looking at him again, Chu Kuan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I was just ordered to follow the princess out to see the excitement today, how can I intervene in this matter." Whatever the princess says, then do it. ”

When Ah Liu finished sending a message to the chefs and went upstairs, he happened to meet Lu Saburo, who came down from the third floor with a relaxed face. The two glanced at each other, and he saw Lu Sanlang smiling and giving him a thumbs up and saying: "With such a big event, it can be orderly under the head, which is simply unimaginable in the past, sixth brother, you are really mighty!" ”

"Thanks to those iron-clad people dressed in black and wearing red scarves on their arms to maintain order so well, I saw from the window before that the person with a petty thief was directly twisted out and beaten half to death, which is more effective than dispatching the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses."

Ah Liu's compliment to Lu Saburo was flat, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in an invisible arc: "That's what they should do." "The Iron Clothes help these people, I didn't expect it to be really useful, and it seems that they can be used better in the future.

When he staggered by, he whispered to Lu Saburo: "Be careful that someone questions fairness." ”

For Ah Liu's reminder, Lu Saburo smiled, completely disapproving. Regardless of whether it was him, Zhang Shou, or Princess Yongping upstairs, or even the other nobles, no one was sure who would be elected.

Because it's all about who makes the dishes better, not who is famous and whose background is hard!

Therefore, after going down from the third floor to the second floor, Lu Saburo first announced to everyone the newly adjusted evaluation rules. For this small change, although everyone said that there was a commotion, but the rules decided by the big people upstairs, where are they qualified to question it?

What they didn't expect was that when Lu Saburo came to the railing, he began to shout to his subordinates again.

"In view of the fact that there are a total of 35 chefs on the preliminary day, there are too many dishes, so since it is a pre-competition question to be done first, every five dishes will be judged, and the scores given by the judges for each dish will be announced one by one, and then the best of the five dishes will be selected, and the two dishes with the highest taste score will directly get five points, and the rest of the dishes will be two points. This is the extra score. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Saburo paused, and then said: "And the main competition question just announced by Princess Yongping is a total of twenty points, scored by taste, and it is also announced in a group of five rounds. Of course, because there are too many chefs and too many dishes and snacks, not everyone of the invited VIPs upstairs can eat it. ”

"At the end, everyone scores are averaged to get each chef's main game score, plus the extra match score, which is the chef's final score on this preliminary day. Take the top 10 to enter the semi-finals. As for other chefs or chefs who are interested in the imperial kitchen, they can participate in the selection on the next preliminary day after five days, during which they can borrow a nearby booth to show their cooking skills to the people of Beijing. ”

At the window on the third floor, hearing Lu Sanlang's words, he had already broken out more suitable rules, and Zhang Shou couldn't help but wonder. It can be said that this first imperial chef selection is completely the product of a slap on the head, whether it is the so-called plan or the detailed rules, they are all used to be crooked, even if someone inquired in advance, it is estimated that they are all dumbfounded now.

Because when he asked Zhu Ying to lobby the emperor, he made it clear that the first session was to cross the river by feeling the stones, anyway, how to make a big fuss, as long as he could finally select the imperial chef with the best cooking level.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Ying came back and said that the emperor agreed without even hesitation. And the emperor said with regret that if it weren't for the fact that the preliminary day in front of him was too shocking, he actually wanted to come and join in the fun......

With the two episodes of shredded potatoes and pumpkin soup, the sauce duck with the sour taste of tomato sauce, and the salty, spicy and fragrant spicy fish did not attract much repercussions, and the peanut fried eel back with an extremely strange taste made Zhang Shou even more dumbfounded, so Zhu Ying couldn't help but be annoyed that she just cared about putting the meat dishes in front of Zhang Shou, completely forgetting that the meat dishes may not be delicious.

And when everyone's judgment on the first five dishes was announced one by one, the chefs below suddenly exploded like a pot, and there were just a few happy and a few sad. Even if someone wants to make trouble, but which dish is chosen by so-and-so, all of them are clearly announced, and most of them have different choices, and many chefs who are too poor in arithmetic are desperately pinching their fingers.

By the end of Lu Saburo's calculations, it was the two vegan dishes that had the upper hand, and at least three of the five chefs beat their chests. Among them, Chef Lu, who is from the Shandong Guild Hall, has a short temper, and has the same surname as Lu Huishou, is the most angry.

"Is it because I only use condiments and don't use those other overseas ingredients, so I have the least number of people who choose me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a more irritable voice came from the second floor: "You idiot, peanuts have a crispy taste, and the eel's back is made together, the creativity is good, but what the hell are you doing with the eel's back!" If you pull the oil and fry it again and then fry it, it won't be so soft and tasteless! The face of my Shandong Hall has been lost by you! ”

Lu Huishou roared a few words against the window, and when he saw Chef Lu being so frightened, he slammed the railing hard, but he didn't look at everyone, and he sulked there.

With a low eye, he insisted on coming over to participate in the primary, and he had already stopped people when he knew it! It hurt Miss Zhu upstairs to complain that the dish was unpalatable, the voice was so loud that he heard it, and in a blink of an eye, the four of them laughed, he frowned and wanted to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, who knew that the idiot was still yelling there! I'm doing it better than you!

With Chef Lu as an example, there was no big problem in the next six rounds, although there were also upsets from time to time, because some of the chefs who got five points in the extra competition question were not very famous, and they were sought after when they showed their cooking skills in the neighborhood a few days ago, but after all, there was still the theme of dim sum waiting behind, so even the lagging chefs, there were many people who were full of confidence.

When the first dim sum was delivered to the second floor, the young man said with a smile: "This is the craftsmanship of Chef Song of the Crescent Moon Restaurant in Beijing, called Ginseng Fruit Birthday Celebration." "To be honest, he has never heard of the so-called crescent moon restaurant in the capital......

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, there was a commotion on the second floor, and everyone was wondering which restaurant the crescent restaurant was. Waiting for the little eunuch to serve the food, he took the boxwood plate in the hand of the young man, and saw that in a huge steamer, there was a statue of a hand-holding longevity peach, a cute and lifelike pink villain at first glance, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart while wondering.

He had heard of ginseng fruit, which seemed to be Emperor Taizu's favorite Journey to the West, saying that he could live forever if he ate it, and his facial features were like villains...... You really make the dim sum look like this...... Miss Zhu may dare to eat, but does the princess dare to eat?

Sure enough, when he sent it to everyone, he saw a large number of people frowning, and some of the four monks who were brought by Zhang Shou to eat and drink showed unbearable expressions. Only Zhu Ying was slightly curious when she heard the three words ginseng fruit, but when she saw the real thing clearly, she was immediately unhappy: "If it's really the real ginseng fruit in Journey to the West, forget it, what's the point of fooling people with fake ones??" ”

Princess Yongping said even more bluntly: "Withdraw and tell that ingenious chef that there is a way to hurt things, let alone people?" He made such a snack, how many people dared to eat it? ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect that even Zhu Ying would react so violently, staring at the cage drawer for a long time, and he suddenly smiled.
