There was a noise in the remote courtyard of the palace, it was not the first time that the court meeting was held, and it was not the first time that the chefs had gathered before the court meeting, but it was the first time that all the cooks had been locked up in the palace until the end of the court meeting.

It is said that everyone is invited to live in the palace temporarily, but for a group of ordinary people, living in the palace is always a little unrealistic.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of unease.

Jia Yu smiled: "You don't have to worry, this place is the Yuanren Palace, and there are few people in the palace." As long as you are careful in your words and deeds here, no one dares to embarrass you here. Moreover, the emperor occasionally passes through this place, maybe he will come here that day to watch the craftsmanship of the masters, if something happens to the emperor is not happy, everyone can not get rid of it. Remember. ”

The crowd nodded heavily.

No one here wanted to take the initiative to stay in the palace, but there was no choice in this matter, and after agreeing, everyone's faces were bitter.

I thought that being selected for the big court banquet was an extremely glamorous thing, who would have ever thought that there would be such a show.

Everyone has just arrived today, there is no training content, everyone has a day to calm down and familiarize themselves with the environment, and the matter of the big court banquet will be arranged tomorrow.

In addition to getting acquainted with the environment, everyone had a little time to write letters to their families and inform them of the arrangements in the palace.

After Jia Yu left, the previous father-in-law came to arrange for everyone to live.

Although the Yuanren Hall has been shelved for a long time, the space in the hall is spacious, enough for more than ten people to live. However, compared with the previous car drivers, when they arrived at the palace, the treatment of the chefs was not so good. It can be seen that the hall has not been taken care of, not to mention the dust on the ground, the cobwebs between the beams and pillars are faintly visible, and only the temporary paving is still clean. It's just clean, cotton wool, pillows, etc. are all old things.

Although a dozen cooks are not big shots, at least they are not short of money, and their daily life is considered rich, and they have not seen such a difficult environment for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other again, and it was obvious that everyone was a little disgusted and a little annoyed at the same time, because it was the palace, and no one dared to show their heart palpitations.

looked at this scene indifferently, but thought in his heart that this father-in-law was inevitably too picky, so he was not afraid of spreading it and losing royal face?

In fact, this is really not the emperor's door, but the people in the palace are not interested in the word cook, although they live in the palace, they are far from being VIPs, so they are sent as slaves.

The environment is already like this, no one can say anything, no matter how you eat and dress on weekdays, you can only live here hard.

After settling the people, they wrote their own letters.

By the time everyone had finished writing their homes, it was already a little dark.

Although the conditions here are poor, the food is very good. Because for the next two months, all the chefs will cook here, and the ingredients, spices, and kitchen utensils are all available, and you can eat whatever you want, and the only trouble is to make it yourself.

But this little trouble is nothing for a dozen chefs, on the contrary, it is a good thing, and they eat their own dishes, and each is familiar with their own tastes. The only difference was that there were more than a dozen chefs in the room, and the atmosphere became weird inadvertently, as they got together to cook and were more or less competitive with each other.

There was a surplus of makeshift stoves outside, so they chose their own ingredients and started a fire.

Maybe it was the sudden hearing that they couldn't go home for a while and everyone was feeling a little depressed, and they didn't speak a lot of words to each other.

Carrying a basket containing two eggs and a few greens, I found that all the cooks had the same idea as myself, and they were scattered and stood in a remote position. After turning around, **** was too lazy to start the fire, and he didn't plan to make any shocking dishes, just boiled the eggs and vegetables.

I have eaten too many elaborate dishes, but **** prefers this simple and direct dish without any processing.

In other words, you only need to cook it, and this situation is a little troublesome to play alone, **** is like borrowing someone else's stove for use. It just so happened that the middle-aged master who had communicated with **** was not far away, and **** walked over: "This master, can you borrow your stove to cook two eggs?" ”

's words are very clear, it is impossible for the other party not to hear it, but the other party has no movement, and is still calmly doing his own thing.

Twisting his eyebrows, he was about to say something more, when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Master Xia, use my stove." ”

Looking back, it turned out to be the ancient son of a merry family.

Xia Shang thanked him, poured water into the pot and threw the eggs into the pot first. It will take a little time for the water to boil, **** stepped on the edge of the stove with one foot, and glanced at the cooks around him, why are these cooks hostile to him? I can't figure this out.

"Don't think about it, it's normal." Gu Zi seemed to see through the **** thoughts, and came up to explain, "Master Xia is a delicious and Taoist owner, and he has become famous among the people of Chang'an, but I don't know that your actions have made other stores in Chang'an jealous." ”

A little dazed: "Why?" ”

"Isn't that easy? What does it depend on to be delicious? Isn't it just cheap? Although the taste of delicious and intelligent food is not high, it is well known that it is cheap. Although your actions have won the love of your customers, they have also invisibly affected the business of other families. I don't know if Master Xia has noticed, because of the appearance of delicious and good, the prices of dishes in major restaurants in Beijing have dropped to varying degrees, which is due to the pressure of Master Xia. Most of the masters who come here have received the influence of Master Xia, and they are naturally dissatisfied with you. ”

Rubbing his nose, he felt a little proud: "So I'm not doing nothing." ”

"It doesn't stop there. The chef here has come here all by relying on his own strength and going through layers of screening, and Chef Xia is like falling from the sky, no one knows your cooking skills, and he has not been tested, but he is on an equal footing with everyone at the moment. Who will be blessed? Recently, it has been rumored that it is delicious and has a few children of the family joining, and even I can't help but wonder if Master Xia has come here with the relationship of the children of the family? ”

After listening to Gu Zi's words, **** finally understood the reason, but why is Gu Zi different from others? Still talking to yourself so much?

"Master Gu, you seem to be different from others, and you feel that you can always know things that others don't know first. Look at your expression and don't look like a person who is making a guess. Why is this telling me? ”

"It's not a secret, how can someone who can become the master of be simple? I'm just trying to win over a very strong teammate. The thirteen people present, I don't know what will happen in the next time, everyone is a competitor, and it is a smart thing to set up allies appropriately, I wonder if Master Xia is willing? ”
