In the early morning of the next day, more than 1,000 people suddenly appeared outside the side gate of the Dong'a Palace, which frightened the attendants on duty to think that the rebels were attacking.

These people are all food masters, or apprentices in cooking schools. Yesterday they got the news that they would be waiting outside the side gate of the palace early this morning.

In order to cultivate excellent cooks, King Qi Wei also worked hard, and actually gave up the kitchen of the palace. You must know that the only place where you can quickly find more than a hundred stoves in the entire Dong'e City is here.

Su Qin didn't like to get up early, laziness was his nature, but Zhaoyun gave him the position of hall master, and there were three hundred people under him, so he had to take responsibility.

The sound of the bangzi had just sounded, and more than a thousand people entered the palace one after another. This was the first time they had entered this magnificent palace, and they couldn't help but look around. Unfortunately, the stove room has a special passage, and there are high walls on both sides, so they can't see the palace.

But at least they can brag later, saying, "I did what I did in the palace back then!" But I just hope that I won't be mistaken for a eunuch.

The hall masters of the five halls were called out by the helmsman to draw lots, because the number of stove rooms was limited, and they could only enter one hall after another, all by luck. And these five hall masters are not fuel-efficient lamps, except for one Su Qin, the other four are all representatives of the famous families of the Qi State, but the Linzi Tian clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Xuzhou Sun clan and the Jimo Lu clan, each can't clean up the other, so the lottery is still relatively fair.

Among these five people, Su Qin instantly looked a lot shabby.

As for this helmsman, it was bought by Qi Xiangtian Ying at a great price, and I don't know if it was indicated by King Qi, or if he was fighting for power and profit.

As for Zou Ji, he didn't get involved in this at all.

The five hall masters each spat out fairy breath into the palm of their hand, and the bamboo stick in the hand of the retainer of the Chaotian Ying family who was eager to try it stretched out, and everyone's face was cloudy and sunny for a moment. Su Qin didn't know if it was a non-chieftain body, but he was ranked fifth, which was enough for him to wait until the afternoon.

His subordinates all looked at him with resentment, although they didn't know this person, but what if it was a member of the clan? Therefore, they all dare to be angry but dare not speak.

The people in the first hall slowly entered the stove room in batches, and more than 100 palace cooks commanded 300 people to enter the kitchen stove in an orderly manner, but the number of stoves was limited, and each stove had two people to practice interactively.

Zhaoyun didn't appear for the first time, no one knew that he was sleeping, and he just thought that the Holy Lord was very angry. However, cooking is not a simple thing, lettuce in the pot is only the result, and the preparation work in front is equally cumbersome.

After receiving Zhaoyun's signal, the official led the one hundred and thirty-eight cooks in the palace to instruct the knife work, washing vegetables, selecting vegetables and other preparations in advance, each of whom has its own advantages and disadvantages, some people have a foundation, they are born to cook and learn quickly; And some people are naturally good at frying the kitchen, and they can't master it well just by adding firewood.

After some people learned seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and some people learned ignorantly, Zhaoyun was finally late.

Seeing the leader coming, everyone was in awe, their eyes shining, hoping to quickly learn a delicious dish or two from him and go back to show off.

But to their disappointment, Zhaoyun only taught the practice of glutinous rice lotus root from beginning to end; This is what only the rich can eat, where will it be their turn?

But they still did it very seriously, fortunately, on the first day, with the support of the Qi royal family, the nearby villages and towns did not know how many tons of lotus root were used for experiments; As for those that fail, take them all back and cook them and eat them, and they don't waste them.

And before the first class left, Zhaoyun left ten people behind; Under his careful observation, these ten people are the most capable of cooking, and they are not even inferior to the palace cooks.

Those ten people didn't know why, and they thought they had made a mistake, and they waited for the Holy Lord's teaching.

However, looking at the ten people who were nervous, Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "You don't need to panic, I just saw that the knife work and cooking skills you are waiting for are different from ordinary people, so I left you for separate training." ”

The ten people looked at each other for a moment, not understanding what this training meant, but when they learned that they could learn new dishes, they all cheered and hurriedly thanked the Holy Lord for his kindness.

From morning to afternoon, Zhaoyun not only handed over the glutinous rice lotus root to more than 1,500 people in the five halls one by one, but also selected 50 people who had good attainments in cooking.

These people are old or young, the younger ones are only in their twenties, and the oldest is in their sixties, but the dishes they cook have all been recognized by Zhaoyun.

After the more than 1,000 people left, the fifty people were left alone, neatly lined up.

"Fifty of you are the best I've seen so far, ten in each hall, and I can't supervise all of you all the time. Therefore, I will spend five days teaching you 10 kinds of meat and vegetable dishes. And your task is to give them the recipe of these ten dishes and rate them. ”

The people who had just learned that they could learn ten kinds of dishes were not happy for a while, and they realized that their responsibilities as mentors were much more serious.

At this time, someone asked, "But Holy Lord, what does the rating mean?" ”

Zhaoyun explained: "Each hall has one star to five star cooks, and after you train them, you will give them separate and comprehensive ratings on their knife skills, cooking skills, speed, color, flavor, etc. The lowest score is zero, the highest score is five, this will be related to what star they have in the end, understand? ”

Few of these people had ever read a book, let alone arithmetic, and could only shake their heads blankly. Zhaoyun was helpless and had no choice but to make a demonstration in person.

He casually picked up a sticky rice lotus with an average appearance, and said: "For example, this one, the knife work is uneven, and the quality is average, so two points will be given; The lotus root is not soft, and the sweetness does not penetrate into it, and it is divided into two ...... Total scores, two points, and so on. Each of you can determine different grading criteria according to your own preferences, and even whether the chef washes his hands or not can be used as a criterion. ”

Everyone was speechless, but they all stood in awe, and they all said, "Follow the order of the Holy Lord!" ”

Zhaoyun nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Also, among the fifty of you, I will select the five most elite people to teach the unique seasoning secret recipe!" ”

Seasoning......

Secret recipe?

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and fifty people looked at Zhaoyun in surprise; Unexpectedly, in addition to the cherished dishes, this Holy Lord also had top-secret condiments to teach!

They had gentlemen, merchants' children, and nobles...... from all walks of life; When they heard that there was a secret recipe taught, they all had their own thoughts.

But in the end, it is all for the benefits brought by the secret recipe; No matter what Zhao Yun wants to give, with his current fame alone, this thing must be a huge fortune!

This undoubtedly aroused their competitive spirit, and they were eager to know the criteria for judging these five elites.

However, Zhaoyun bought the pass and said with a smile: "This judging standard will be very strict, as for how to judge, I won't tell you." After five days, I will name those five people, and then I will tell you all the criteria for judging these five days. ”

"So ......"

"You all work hard!"
