Chapter 53: The Storm

In the arena, the remaining 300 chefs at the moment showed their talents, and their unique skills were even more revealed.

All the way down, Zhang Lingyang was dazzled, and he couldn't stop praising it.

And Zhang Zhiyuan on the side obviously didn't have such thoughts. One moment bows his head in contemplation, and the next sighs for a long time.

Zhang Lingyang didn't seem to see it, walked to the main seat and sat down, and instructed Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, move a set of tables and chairs for Zhang Gelao!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When the tables and chairs were moved, Zhang Zhiyuan thanked Zhang Lingyang and sat down.

In the center of the arena, a long table made up of more than 30 tables had already been arranged.

Seeing that the chefs below had already prepared the meals one after another, and then arranged them by cuisine, Zhang Lingyang nodded and said loudly: "Judges, how about going with me to comment?" ”

With that, Zhang Lingyang got up and walked towards the center of the arena.

Of course, although Zhang Lingyang said so, who is a fool who is the judge below, and how can he appear in front of Zhang Lingyang?

Therefore, everyone just followed behind Zhang Lingyang, and when they saw which plate of food Zhang Lingyang had tasted, everyone dared to taste it.

Zhang Lingyang looked back and saw that as long as it was the food he had tasted, most of them had been liquidated.

And Zhang Lingyang's food that had never touched the chopsticks was still untouched.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't cry or laugh, so he turned to everyone and said: "The judges taste it according to their own preferences, don't worry about me!" ”

Then, Zhang Lingyang said solemnly: "As early as before the start of the competition, I ordered Xiaofuzi to convey my message, and this kitchen god competition is based on the principles: fairness, justice, and openness. If the judges can't do this, then this chef competition will not have any meaning, do you understand? ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

Seeing everyone's response, Zhang Lingyang nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and continued to taste.

There are more than 300 dishes, even if he only eats a small bite of each dish, after 300 dishes, Zhang Lingyang is already full.

And behind him, it seems that some monks are more fleshy and less meaty.

Not to mention the invitations that were directly distributed, there were as many as 500 invitations for sale alone.

And the dishes are only more than 300 plates, how can they be enough for so many people to eat?

Therefore, the judges at the back of the line can only taste some leftovers.

"Judges, let's start voting!" Seeing that the food on the table in front of him had been used up, Zhang Lingyang didn't care whether others were not full or not, so he spoke.

"Long live the Lord please vote first!" Xiaofuzi said.

"I won't vote first!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said, "If I vote first, the judges behind me will definitely vote for the food I voted, so let the judges vote first!" ”

Zhang Lingyang understood this, and after saying a word, he asked the judges to vote first.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyang didn't vote first, the judges below, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to vote first.

"Let's come first!" At this time, Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, broke the silence of the scene, said something, got up and came to the dining table, found a plate, and put a ticket on it.

Seeing that someone came forward, everyone no longer hesitated, and voted for their favorite meals one after another.

Of course, in the end, Zhang Lingyang still did not vote, but asked Xiaofuzi to count the votes.

After a pillar of incense, Xiao Fuzi came to Zhang Lingyang with a booklet and replied: "Long live Lord, the votes have been counted, and the most votes on the spot are the sweet and sour Yellow River carp made by Zhang San from Ludong, with a total of ninety-seven votes. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lingyang was a little surprised in his heart, beckoned to Xiao Fuzi, and took the booklet from Xiao Fuzi's hand and looked at it carefully.

At a glance, Zhang Lingyang came to his senses.

According to the statistics on the booklet, the top 20 dishes with the highest votes were all tasted by Zhang Lingyang.

And Zhang San's sweet and sour Yellow River carp, Zhang Lingyang ate two bites in a row, so everyone thought that Zhang Lingyang's favorite dish was the sweet and sour Yellow River carp.

Therefore, the sweet and sour Yellow River carp has become the most voted dish.

Zhang Lingyang chuckled disappreciatively, and then said to Xiaofuzi: "Since this is the case, then announce the results of the competition!" ”

"And!" Zhang Lingyang whispered to Xiaofu again: "Leaving the top five chefs in each cuisine is of great use, understand?" ”

"Long live the lord, don't worry, the slave understands!" Xiaofuzi replied.

As soon as Zhang Lingyang spoke, Xiaofuzi understood that the reason why Zhang Lingyang wanted to leave the top five of the major cuisines was to prepare for the upcoming opening of several restaurants.

After explaining the rest of the things to Xiaofuzi, Zhang Lingyang wanted to take Luan back to the palace.

At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan stepped forward again and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you know about the twists and turns?" ”

Zhang Lingyang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Zhang Aiqing, go back first, and talk about this tomorrow morning!" ”

With that, Zhang Lingyang boarded the car and left.

Zhang Zhiyuan was left alone in the back and sighed......

In the Donghua Pavilion, everyone was talking, and it was obvious that the waiting time was not short.

Zhang Zhiyuan returned to Donghua Pavilion dejectedly, and everyone stepped forward one after another, asking nonchalantly: "Elder Zhang Ge, how does Your Majesty reply?" ”

……

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, go back first, and talk about this matter tomorrow morning!" ”

"Your Majesty is going to the morning court tomorrow?" Zhou Shanning, who was on the side, asked in surprise, "Isn't Your Majesty's illness still unhealed?" ”

"......" Zhang Zhiyuan didn't reply, but glared at Zhou Shanning, and then said to everyone: "It's not early now, and the old man is tired, what is there to discuss tomorrow morning!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan sold the door of Donghua Pavilion again.

"What does Zhang Ge Lao mean? Could it be that Elder Zhang Ge did not convince His Majesty? ”

"Looking at the following officials, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten!"

"How's that to be?"

"Tomorrow morning, we can only fight on the basis of reason!"

……

In the midst of the discussion, the crowd gradually dispersed......

When he got up the next morning, Zhang Lingyang felt dizzy.

Obviously, Zhang Lingyang's condition that had not recovered was undoubtedly aggravated by the wind when he went out yesterday.

But even so, Zhang Lingyang still dragged the sick body to the Taihe Hall to discuss with the ministers.

In fact, Zhang Lingyang could have not go, after all, he had a valid reason, didn't he?

But Zhang Lingyang's heart is stubborn, how can he break his promise when he has already said something yesterday?

What's more, yesterday Zhang Zhiyuan was returned to the palace by Zhang Lingyang to recuperate on the grounds that Zhang Lingyang's illness had not recovered, but was rejected by Zhang Lingyang.

Zhang Lingyang can't slap himself in the face!

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang still went to the Taihe Hall to participate in the court meeting.

As soon as he entered the Taihe Palace, Zhang Lingyang felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little wrong.

I looked around in surprise, and saw the ministers looking ahead with serious faces, their eyes becoming more gloomy than the other.

"What's going on with these ministers today? Could it be that you have taken the wrong medicine? Zhang Lingyang thought so in his heart, and began a day's court discussion......
