The war in Persia proceeded relatively smoothly, and the Persian rebels were defeated by the powerful offensive of the Triple Alliance, and the war was expected to end within three months.

Hamid learned that Li You, Murong Bo, and Pei Dilan were all in Chang'an, and he also wanted to get together with them. Hamid has the highest status in the Three Kingdoms Alliance, serving as the commander of the coalition forces, but the specific commanders in the military are Cheng Yanjin and Xue Rengui. Therefore, he can get out. Hamid knew that after the end of the war in Persia, the post-war reconstruction of the country depended to a large extent on the help of the Tang Dynasty, and it was important to maintain close relations with the Tang Dynasty, so he made up his mind to go to Chang'an to participate in Li Shimin's Taishan Conferencing Ceremony.

He said to Zhang Guigui: "Okay, I really miss Lao Li and them, arrange things in the next two days, and let's go to Chang'an together." ”

Chang'an City.

After receiving the telegram from Hamid and Zhang Guigui, Li You was very happy and told Li Chengqian about the incident, and it was also a great honor for the king of the Persian Empire, one of the great powers of the modern era, to personally attend Li Shimin's Taishan Zen Ceremony.

Li Chengqian sent a telegram to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was also very satisfied.

There was nothing to do with Li You next, and he focused on the food conference.

According to the plan, before the conference, a cooking competition will be held, which will go through the audition, preliminary round, semi-final, promotion round, semi-final and final stages.

Before the competition, the first thing to do is the selection of judges, who are responsible for presiding over different stages of the cooking competition according to the level of the judges. The final cooking competition will be presided over by six judges, and Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian and Li You will be invited to participate in the judging.

The six winners of the judges will become the food doctor of Taichang Temple Shangshan Potato, which is the eighth grade, which is very tempting for those chefs to become official officials of the imperial court, and the number of people who signed up for the competition is as many as 516, which is more fierce than the competition of the imperial examination.

The venue of the judges' selection competition is set in the Northwest Palace, and Li You has participated in the judging since the semi-finals, and today is the final of the last six judges.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li You participated in the judging, and Pei Dilan, Murong Bo and their women watched the competition as guests.

One of the competitions was to test the sense of taste, and Wang Liao and Gao Zhiming set the question: What kinds of spices are used in the following three hot dishes? What are the seasonings?

On the table are three hot dishes, diced beans, stir-fried sea bass fillets, and braised venison, and contestants are asked to write the names of the ingredients and seasonings used in each dish after tasting the three dishes.

The 12 contestants who participated in the finals wrote down their answers after tasting them, and these people were all masters who stood out from the crowd and performed quite well. Among the 27 kinds of ingredients and 19 seasonings, most of them answered more than 70% correctly, 2 people answered 80% correctly, and one person answered 90% correctly, all 46 types, he was only wrong 3 kinds, and everyone was impressed.

The final competition is to test the participants' sense of smell.

The topic is to heat 22 kinds of spices behind a tall screen, and ask the contestants to write the names of the spices through the screen. Contestants cannot see the appearance of spices, they can only identify them by their sense of smell.

Among the 12 contestants, 7 out of 10 answered correctly, 4 out of 8 out of 1, and 1 out of 9 out of 1.

That's it, and the game is all over.

After announcing the results of the competition, Murong Bo smiled and said, "Such a competition is an eye-opener. Li You, you have always advertised yourself as a top foodie, I don't know how many you can answer correctly? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all looking forward to Li You's test. Especially the contestants, they never believe that Li You will be better than professional chefs like them.

Li You was eager to try it in his heart, but he said modestly: "Well, I won't fight with them, right?" ”

Murong Bo smiled: "No, such a difficult topic, I'm afraid you don't dare." ”

Xiao Wanyu and other women are very confident in their husbands, and when they go to see Li You, they usually walk to his door, and they don't need to report it, Li You knows who is coming by smell.

They said in unison: "Brother You, husband, Your Highness, and the prince...... You just show it and give them an eye-opener. ”

When Murong Bo smelled those smells just now, he also tried hard to identify them, he could identify a few at most, and he didn't believe that Li You would be better than those chefs, so he said, "I want to see how good you are as a foodie." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said, "Your Royal Highness, let's go to the back and supervise, don't let those guys mess with ghosts." He was worried that Li You's subordinates would help Li You cheat, and he had to personally supervise their operations.

Pei Dilan was also very curious, so she followed Murong Bo to the back of the screen.

Murong Bo personally picked up a spice and sprinkled it on the charcoal basin, and a strong aroma suddenly spread.

"Pepper."

"Octagonal."

……

Li You replied one by one, saying more than a dozen things right in one breath.

Murong Bo felt more and more frightened, he really couldn't imagine that Li You's nose was so powerful.

After thinking about it, Murong Bo took out a piece of cinnamon, pinched off a small piece with his fingernails, which was not as small as a grain of millet, and threw it into the charcoal basin. In the charcoal fire, the cinnamon raised a small puff of imperceptible smoke and dust, which quickly disappeared.

Murong Bo asked, "Li You, what is it this time?" ”

"Cinnamon." Li You said without hesitation.

"Holy, that's okay?" Both Murong Bo and Pei Dilan felt incredulous.

None of the participating chefs smelled the cinnamon and didn't understand how the prince knew.

Seeing that no one was speaking behind the screen, Murong Ling asked, "Has Your Highness answered correctly?" Brother, why don't you speak? ”

Wang Liao couldn't help but say, "The prince is right. ”

Murong Ling smiled proudly: "I knew that you couldn't stop my family's prince." ”

Murong Bo was a little anxious, he grabbed three spices at once and threw them into the charcoal basin. He said: "Li You, you have the ability to guess again." ”

"Huh? There are sand kernels, angelica, and lemongrass. Li You said.

Murong Bo was really convinced, and he smiled: "Li You, you are really a dog's nose." ”

At this time, Pei Dilan whispered, "Brother Murong, look at this." ”

Murong Bo couldn't help but laugh when he looked at what he was holding in his hand. He pointed at Wang Liao, Gao Zhiming and the others, signaling them not to make a sound. He looked outside the screen and said, "Li You, if you can answer this spice again, I will really convince you." ”

After saying that, he threw the things in his hand into the charcoal basin, and a foul smell wafted away.

Li You didn't say anything for a while, and Pei Dilan and Murong Bo laughed evilly together.

At this moment, Li You said: "You two bastards, you actually use a rag as a seasoning, it's really good!" ”

"Huh?" Pei Dilan and Murong Bo were dumbfounded together, and what they threw into the carbon basin was a rag.

Li You is born with a keen sense of smell, plus he has a food system, and the sensitivity of taste has been integrated into his blood, not to mention breathing through his nose, even from the sweat pores can sense the taste of objects.

When the smell of the rag entered Li You's sense of smell, the system had already analyzed the material that produced the smell.

"Hahahaha."

Murong Bo walked out laughing and said, "Li You, you are really a dog's nose, I have convinced you this time." ”

Pei Dilan also smiled: "Lao Li, you are the number one foodie in the world, and you live up to your reputation!" ”

Murong Ling also smelled the unpleasant smell, and she asked with some puzzlement, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Then Gao Zhiming, who came with him, said excitedly: "The Khan put three spices into the charcoal basin at once, and then put a rag in the charcoal basin. ”

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Those chefs who participated in the competition admired each other.

Soon after, Li Youxin's legend became a hot topic on the streets again.

Someone said, "Did you hear that?" His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has a really good nose, and he can smell seven or eight spices together. ”

"Yes, I heard that the prince not only knows how many people are behind him through the screen, but he even knows who is standing and where he is." Someone said.

"What's even worse, someone threw an ant into the carbon basin, and the prince just sniffed it and knew that the ant was a male."

"You are, ants are all male except for the queen, this is nothing. I've heard one thing, and that's magic! The prince of the Great Food Country went to the song and dance workshop to drink flower wine, and when he came back, he hiccuped, and the prince knew that he had eaten the oranges shipped from Lingnan......"

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to return to Chang'an, and Empress Changsun had also moved back from Furong Garden, she said to Concubine Niangniang, who came to visit her: "You'er is so interesting, how can his nose be so smart?" ”
