Peng Baiye's radical actions even attracted Xia Shang.

Like the other cooks, they are all unable to protect themselves, they don't have the heart to care about others, and only a few cooks in the neighborhood can clearly know what is going on.

Seeing Peng Baiye like this, the other cooks were a little stunned. It is said that the man's knees are golden, and he knelt down for a dish, and he is also a stubborn person!

Jia Yu was also slightly moved, but he knew that it was not Peng Baiye who was worried about the problems of his dishes, but that he was not convinced, and he was not convinced, why the dishes he carefully made were not as good as Cao Fu's convenient mushrooms before?

The other party had already knelt down, and Jia Yu couldn't debunk his hypocrisy, so he sighed and asked, "What is the theme of today's dish?" ”

"Odd!"

"Do you think your dish is suitable?"

"What's the difference? The splendid mountains and rivers show the magnificent scenery of my Datang, the ingredients in the dishes contain the delicacies of my Datang, and the cooking techniques also contain what my Datang chefs have learned. Isn't it a prestige for our country to be displayed in front of the envoys of various countries at such a court meeting? ”

"Yes! That's a great idea! After listening to Peng Baiye's explanation, the chefs around him nodded one after another.

Jia Yu moved, but sneered: "You have such a big breath! Your dishes use only a dozen ingredients, how many delicacies do I have in the Tang Dynasty? How can you include more than 10 kinds of ingredients? The same goes for cooking. You assert that I am the entire Tang Dynasty based on your personal experience, if you meet a person of insight in the court meeting who talks about the cooking techniques, how can I have the face of the Tang Dynasty? In addition, your dishes seem to be dazzling, but in fact they are unremarkable, and all the ingredients are just the simplest processing in the simplest way, and the flavors are many and unsurprising, but they are just the appearance. That's all, let's come back in three years. ”

"Impossible! No way! Peng Baiye finally couldn't hold it back, he was also the head chef of the four major restaurants, how could he get such an evaluation in the selection of the Great Dynasty Banquet? Not only is personal honor damaged, but even "food for heaven" is also affected by it.

"Even if I have a lot of problems with my dish, it's not as good as the mushroom slices baked over the fire! What's the novelty of that?! What's new!! ”

Peng Baiye shouted hoarsely, and everyone sweated for him. If the previous questioning is not enough to carry out a big punishment, it is not an exaggeration to be executed even if he is unreasonable now, the key depends on Jia Yu's mood.

Jia Yu was a little irritable, patiently explaining that he was already on the open side, and now he was entangled by this splash, and he was angry, when a maid suddenly came in the pear orchard, stood in front of the door and said crisply:

"Who made the roasted matsutake mushrooms?"

Cao Fu stood up: "Roasted matsutake mushrooms are made by grass people. ”

"The four virtuous and virtuous mothers were greatly appreciated after tasting the matsutake mushroom, and they were given a pair of jade Ruyi, and the dishes have been handed over to His Majesty to taste."

The palace maid is very young and can't speak official language, but the meaning expressed in a simple sentence is quite clear.

After that, the palace maid handed over the brocade box containing jade Ruyi to the guards beside her, and ran away with a smoke.

Countless envious eyes looked at the brocade box in the guard's hand, and they never left until it was handed over to Cao Fu. Especially that Peng Baiye, his eyes were about to pop out, and now he finally believed that Cao Fu's matsutake mushroom was indeed better than his own big production, but he didn't understand, what was his problem? Or how good is Cao Fu's roasted matsutake mushroom?

Peng Baiye couldn't change the result in the end, but fortunately, Jia Yu didn't pursue his entanglement and was able to leave the palace intact, Jia Yu thought he was worthy of a stubborn cook.

After Peng Baiye's incident, the atmosphere in the pear orchard became even more depressing, especially a few around Peng Baiye. They all witnessed the whole process of the matter, they saw Peng Baiye's dishes very clearly, it stands to reason that the splendid mountains and rivers are already very good, and they prefer to believe that it is not Peng Baiye's dishes that are not good, but Jia Yu is nitpicking.

But who can say that Jia Yu's is not? This is the Great Dynasty Banquet Selection, and the rules are like this.

Peng Baiye's failure caused some people to lose the last light of day, and everyone felt that this time was different from the past, and the requirements for the dishes were much higher.

Compared with Peng Baiye, many people are ashamed of themselves, and even Peng Baiye has returned, what hope do they have?

More and more people are choosing to leave on their own initiative.

No one stopped him, and Jia Yu also thought it was a wise choice.

Soon, less than sixty of the 100 cooks remained, which meant that there were less than thirty groups of still persistent players.

As the minutes ticked by, more and more dishes were completed. I don't know if it's because there are too many people who give up voluntarily and the requirements are lowered, or if it's true that the people who stay are stronger. There are more and more dishes that are sent to the Imperial Garden, and few people can't pass Jia Yu's level.

Following Cao Fu, Xiahou Jin won verbal praise from the ladies with jujube mud cake, and Gu Zi also shocked Jia Yu with potato noodles. All the chefs are showing their own level of competence, and more and more good dishes are appearing, but it is difficult to find amazing works.

The sun is setting, and the afterglow is still pulling the mountain.

There was not much time left, all the cooks finished their work, and the sound of knives hitting the cutting board in the most remote corners.

The chef had nothing else to do after he finished his work, and the last bit of time management became loose, and all the cooks gathered in this corner to watch a man and a woman concentrate on chopping vegetables.

"Oh my God! What is this going to be cut into? The turnips are all pureed! ”

"What's more, it's turned into water!"

"Look, look at this tofu, I'm a good one, it's finer than the stone mill!"

"What are they going to do? Is there still time? ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, obviously not knowing.

At the end of the crowd, Jia Yu watched the movements of the two from the gap, and only had a big question in his heart: "What are they thinking?" ”

Tofu, radish, bok choy, tomatoes have been mashed as much as possible.

Xu Yuan nodded and signaled that it was okay. Xia Shang stepped aside, he was the deputy, and it was Xu Yuan's performance time next.

Xu Yuan mixed all the vegetable puree together, and the various ingredients and juices immediately turned into a strange paste. Strain out the excess water with gauze and stir the remaining mixture.

Seeing this, a puzzled voice appeared first: "Vegetarian meatballs? ”

Xia Shang glanced at the person who spoke, and frowned. Because the first person in the crowd to speak was the guy who sold sweet potatoes.

"He's done?"

Xia Shang didn't care about how the wind kitchen performed, because he already regarded the wind kitchen as one of the eight best choices in his heart.

As soon as Chef Feng's words fell, a sneer suddenly broke out in the crowd: "How is it possible? The tofu residue is scattered, and the vegetables are also scattered, how can you eat it vigorously? It's best not to make meatballs, if you really make meatballs, go home early, don't waste time. ”

It was Cao Fu who spoke!

He had already received the Emperor's hand-picked for his roasted matsutake mushrooms and became the first person to enter the third round!

And he said that it is not okay to make vegetarian meatballs.

When Xu Yuan heard his words, he was shocked, and a sentence flashed in his mind: "Yes!" He's right! ”
