After one of the ministers said something in a loud voice, many ministers echoed it.

"That's it, it's good to cook well, just thinking that the sword is going off the rails, thinking that it will be different if you make eighteen bowls?"

Ye Haixuan listened to the words criticizing He Jingjing in his ear, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if these words were talking about himself.

He wanted to argue a few words for He Jingjing, but found that he didn't know anything about this dish.

If he is wrong, I am afraid that He Jingjing will be affected.

Looking at Ye Haixuan's tangled face, the prefect pinched Ye Haixuan's arm again, and then gave him a slightly calming look.

"Young people nowadays, they just can't hold their breath. "The prefect is still looking forward to these eighteen bowls.

Since He Jingjing chose to use the eighteen bowls as a dish for such an important occasion, the prefect felt that He Jingjing must have his own intentions.

Rest assured, kid.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the table with eighteen small bowls was lowered, right in the middle of the lobby, and then everyone turned their heads to look at the eighteen small bowls.

"What's in this little bowl?"

"We'll find out later. ”

Everyone was curious, no matter how you look at it, this is a fancy thing that can only be made by a grandstanding person, but they can't resist their curiosity about its taste.

"Could it be that it is filled with eighteen bowls of the same thing, and then go through the form?"

"Won't you know when the bowl opens?" the other person next to him felt a little noisy, and then scolded the person.

The person in charge of the cooking competition instructed the palace maids to open all the lids on the eighteen small bowls, and then began to distribute the dishes to the ministers and their families.

"It's so fragrant!

Those who thought He Jingjing was a sensationalist one second ago, were conquered by the charming aroma emanating from these eighteen small bowls the next second.

This is not at all the aroma that can be compared to the previous dishes!

Looking at these eighteen small bowls, the emperor's heart was also full of curiosity.

"Call He Jingjing over, and I'm going to ask her what kind of food she's selling in this bowl. ”

According to the regulations, the emperor must taste the dishes after the ministers have finished tasting them, and although he was curious about the taste of He Jingjing's dishes, the emperor still held back.

You can't eat vegetables, but it's always okay to ask where they came from, which is another way to divert attention.

So He Jingjing was taken to the main hall.

"He Jingjing, I came to ask you, where did your eighteen bowls of side dishes come from?" the emperor got straight to the point and asked He Jingjing directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, these eighteen bowls were born from the Manchu and Han banquets, and I integrated the essence of them into them to make these eighteen bowls of side dishes. ”

It turned out that He Jingjing thought about it, and when she didn't know what to do, she thought of the Manchu and Han Quanxi in her previous life.

There are a total of one hundred and eight dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets, and if you make all of them, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very troublesome, and you may not finish it yourself.

So He Jingjing thought about matching the essence and brilliant parts of the Manchu and Han banquets together.

There are meat and vegetarian, hot dishes and cold dishes, bringing together the five colors and five flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, so that eighteen small bowls are just made, so He Jingjing abbreviates it as eighteen bowls.

After listening to He Jingjing's explanation, everyone present admired it very much, and no one said that He Jingjing was grandstanding.

"How does it taste, you will only know when you taste it, rank ministers, just taste it." After listening to He Jingjing's explanation with interest, the emperor said to the ministers.

The ministers had long wanted to eat these eighteen bowls, and after receiving an order from the emperor, they all picked up chopsticks.

Ye Haixuan is the same, he hasn't eaten He Jingjing's dishes for five days, and now he can eat eighteen kinds at once, and this kind of happiness that has been lost and regained is only something that the prefect can understand.

"It was delicious. "Those who have tasted eighteen bowls let out such an exclamation the moment they entered it.

"It's not easy to come up with such a combination, such an arrangement, only a real skilled craftsman can come up with. "Some ministers who know how to cook are even amazed that there are still people in the world who can be so ingenious.

"What kind of person can make such eighteen bowls? Some people who were sitting far away couldn't see He Jingjing's appearance clearly, and they all leaned forward one after another, wanting to see He Jingjing's face as real.

Ye Haixuan looked at such a reversal and felt very happy in his heart.

Looking at the reactions of the ministers, He Jingjing's ranking should be stable, and Ye Haixuan couldn't help but feel very happy.

"Happy?" The prefect on the side finished the last eighteen bowls with satisfaction, and turned his head to see Ye Haixuan looking at He Jingjing's face stupidly, so he joked funny.

"Hmm. Ye Haixuan retracted his gaze and lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Now that you've finished tasting the contestants' dishes, please write the names of your top three on this piece of paper. Seeing that the ministers had eaten well, the person in charge of the cooking competition stood up and said.

So the palace ladies handed out paper and pens to the adults, and it was written in a short time.

After writing, the harem ladies put the paper away again and handed it to the person in charge of the cooking competition. The person in charge will perform the on-site ticketing.

"Cai Shishi one vote. ”

"Yan Ruyu has a vote. ”

He Jingjing one vote. ”

Everyone's tastes are very concentrated, basically He Jingjing, Cai Shishi and Yan Ruyu, watching He Jingjing's votes lead all the way, Ye Haixuan's heart was completely let go.

Next, let His Majesty the Emperor make a decision, if he really can't do it, he has to rush up with the jade pendant given by the prefect, even if he changes his life, he will let He Jingjing leave the palace intact.

Otherwise, how can I explain to He's father and mother?

"I announced that the top three are He Jingjing, Cai Shishi and Yan Ruyu. The results came out, and sure enough, it was He Jingjing, Cai Shishi and Yan Ruyu.

Looking at the three dishes presented, the emperor felt that he was in a very good mood.

Because these three dishes are very good in terms of shape and aroma.

What's more, it was made by someone other than the cook in the imperial dining room, and it was all three young girls, which made the emperor feel very good.

After all, I finally don't have to eat the same flavors made in the Imperial Dining Room.

"Not bad. After tasting these dishes in turn, the emperor dictated his results, and then the little eunuch copied the results and sent them to the person in charge of the imperial dining room.

The stone in the heart of the person in charge who got the result is finally about to fall, and this game is completely over.

"Now, I announce that the order of the rankings is ......"
