Wen Zhen ascended the high platform.

There were five desks on the table, and behind each table stood a cook.

When Wen Zhen went up to the high platform, he saw that the high platform was very close to the wall, and behind the wall was a large open space, and at this moment the open space was full of people, who were looking at the stage with their mouths open.

It turned out that the onlookers were moved here.

This position is far away, safe, and can control the situation, but this high platform is so high that whether it is in the limelight or ugly, it can be clearly seen by people.

There is prepared food on the five desks, the aroma is rich, the heat wave is steaming, and the people behind the desks are busy.

The high platform is not very big, a few desks plus all kinds of utensils, it is already crowded, Wen Zhen can only stand in the middle of the five desks, either turn to the people below, or look back at the five cooks.

It's a malicious arrangement, but the malice doesn't stop there.

At the end of the middle case, there is a tall and thin man, who can be regarded as dignified, not much like a cook, but like a son. At this moment, he looked at Wen Zhen coldly and said, "I heard that this girl passed the test with the flag, why, did she come to participate in the competition?" The ingredients are there, and you can cook them yourself. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a pile of vegetables in the corner of the high platform, where there were onions, garlic, ginger and other things, and a large pot, which was mostly seafood and aquatic products, which were very fresh.

The people below have all eaten Wen Zhen noodles before, and they all looked at it with a heart, thinking that the Han Mansion had lost face by suffering a loss, and had to let this girl enter the mansion with eight thousand flags, and would never allow her to show her cooking skills.

When someone even called, "This girl, you are very skilled in your craft, let them see it today!" ”

Wen Zhen smiled, arched his hand to the bottom, and went to check the vegetables, the meat has mutton, the fruit has citrus, the ingredients have onions, garlic and peppers, and the aquatic products have fresh fish and shrimp. And wine. It's very complete.

Several cooks looked at her with burning eyes, seeing what she chose, Wen Zhen walked around and came back empty-handed.

"Why, you don't like the vegetables here?" The tall chef said with compassion, "Or are you too skilled, and only the dragon liver and phoenix marrow are worthy of your skills?" ”

"Oh no, no, no, I won't burn dragon liver and phoenix marrow, I will only fry the liver of the wicked, stew the despicable heart, and fry the black belly sausage. Turn those treacherous and greedy for money into rotten rottenness. Wen Zhen glanced at him with a smile, "Chef Liu, do you want to try this craft?" ”

The tall man's upright face was a little ugly, and the people below were in an uproar.

It turns out that this is the chef of the Fuzun family who took his friend's craft and swallowed his friend's money.

"We are now the chef of the Feast Excerpt! Not a place for you to talk nonsense! Do it if you can, and get out if you can't! Before Chef Liu could attack, a man who looked like a housekeeper standing beside Fu Zun had already spoken loudly.

"I can do it, and I can't do it." Wen Zhen looked down at him coldly, "As for the dish you specially left, I made it, and immediately gave you a reason to eliminate me." What if I'm a fool? ”

“……”

Chef Liu and the few people below all looked shocked.

How did she know?

The "Feast Festival" is a local tradition, and the selection of chefs through the festival is a grand occasion to enhance fame, to honour the government's achievements, and finally to select real talents. When it comes to the most fundamental purpose of sending cooks to the family, it is natural that the candidate has already been decided, after all, this candidate needs to bear the responsibility of the bond in the future, not his own people.

Li Shishi is honest, can only cook vegetables, is very popular in the Yi family, but will not please the master, this kind of person has limited help to the Han Mansion, and Chef Liu, inherited Li Shishi's craftsmanship, and Li Shi has a layer of "entrusted to the old mother" of the friendship, and he is tall and handsome, the Han Mansion selected him, and there is a layer of secret and unspeakable thoughts, so the selection of Chef Liu is bound to win.

And Wen Zhen was born, and it seemed that it was going to be a branch, and the Han government naturally couldn't allow it.

So she left vegetables for Wen Zhen, but if she really did it, she would definitely lose.

Changchuan Yijia has a hidden disease, and he can't eat fish, shrimp, mutton, onions, garlic and other things, otherwise the disease will be aggravated.

If Wen Zhen uses these ingredients to make dishes, even if he makes flowers, the sentence "The chef of the family does not know that the master is not qualified" can be brushed off.

But this girl actually knew the taboo of the Yi family, and she was not fooled!

However, there is also a practice of not being fooled.

There is a small table under the high platform, and there are two old men sitting behind the table, one of whom is Mr. Wang, who seems to be the referee.

At this time, another old man frowned and said, "Since you don't do it, no matter what the reason, you will give up, this is the rule." ”

Mr. Wang wanted to speak and stopped.

Logically speaking, if the chef does not cook, he will naturally give up the competition.

Zhao Fuzun smiled at the bottom, and said to Master Han: "Ling Aiwei is really smart." ”

Master Han smiled, "Since she grew up, I really don't have to worry a lot." ”

"My family is a real person, if there is a girl like Miss Han as a virtuous helper, it will be a blessing from the previous life."

"The house is praised, the government is praised." Master Han smiled brightly, "Fuzun doesn't dislike our merchants, Fangyin is truly blessed." ”

Zhao Fuzun remembered something again, frowned and said: "We have been to the camp outside the city twice, but we haven't seen anyone, you say, it won't be His Royal Highness who has an opinion on our Changping, right?" ”

"Probably not. As soon as the news arrived, we went out of the city to pay a visit, how could there be any disrespect? It's strange to say, His Highness doesn't show up, and he doesn't leave, what is this going to do? No...... You won't come to our Changping, will you? ”

"You're laughing. Didn't we inquire with the people around Li Tingshi? It is said that His Royal Highness took Lord Wen to visit Fengshan, and the red leaves of Fengshan are like fire at this time, so naturally you can't miss it. ”

"That's good, that's good."

"Today, this woman seems to be a bad person."

"There's Fuzun, I'm here, I don't care what she wants to do. If you dare to make trouble, just hit it! ”

……

On the stage, Wen Zhen was still smiling and replied to the fierce referee, "If you don't participate, you won't participate, and I'm not interested in being a cook." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Eight thousand flags were busy all night, and in the end they didn't fight for the first, so what did they do?

"I'm just here to tell you." Wen Zhen pointed to a few people on the stage, "I can't do it." You don't deserve it! ”

Without waiting for those people to refute it, she had already walked to the first case.

"Catfish lung soup. The catfish produced in the living water source often jumps against the water, the lung sac is hypertrophied and fresh, and the lung slice is made with chicken soup, which is delicate and delicious, and the strange fragrance is suitable for the nose. This dish can be described as a peculiar selection of ingredients. ”

The cook withdrew the scolding that had not yet been spoken, and stood up proudly, but there was a little more surprise in his eyes.

"Don't be too happy. No matter how strange the selection of materials is, it is still useless without craftsmanship. There is a small piece of thumb-sized bitter gall bladder on the catfish lung, and you should be extremely careful when picking it, once it breaks the bitter and fishy smell......"

"I picked it! Pick it clean! ”

"Did you pick the blood tendons on your lungs? After picking, did you soak Wushao rice wine with Wuzhou's specialty for more than three hours? Wen Zhen sniffed, "No!" There should still be a little bit of blood tendon left that has not been picked clean, and the rice wine is not Wu Shao, it should be your local Chen Shao, there is a little bit of astringency, mellow and insufficient, and the time is a little worse, at most two hours, so this soup will taste carefully, and it will definitely have a little bit of taste. Wen Zhen tapped his fingers on the edge of the bowl and snorted.

"Bad review!"

“……”

The two referees took the bowl of fish soup on their tables, savoring the delicious soup that was full of praise just now, and after a while, Mr. Wang nodded, and the other old man frowned.

Wen Zhen had already walked to the second case, "Duck paws, remove bones and tendons, marinate them with seasonings, and then stew them all over with abalone sauce, the abalone juice is golden and viscous, and then serve with thick and oily duck paws...... Don't you feel tired? ”

“……”

"Teach you the most famous and exquisite way to eat a duck paw, so as not to always use the nouveau riche practice to make people look shabby. The method of dealing with duck palms in front is the same, it is also to use Wu Shao to soak until the fat rises, remove the bones and tendons, take the best crushed cloud ham in Yunzhou and half of the fat and thin, cut the finger thick slices, and then cut the winter bamboo shoot slices, clamp the ham slices and winter bamboo shoot slices with the duck palms, cut and roll them up with bean skin or kelp, spread them on the dried vegetables, and steam them for half an hour on low heat. Wen Zhen tapped his finger again, "Bad review!" ”

“……”

At the bottom, Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, and he found a pen and paper to write hard, and the other person frowned even deeper, and glanced at Master Han and Zhao Fuzun.

But in just half an hour, Wen Zhen had already walked to the third house, it was the middle of the Fuzun family chef Chef Liu, he looked at Wen Zhen with a cold face, for fear that she would take the lead again, and without waiting for her to speak, he preemptively said: "What are you?" I don't need your comment on this dish! It's not your turn to review! ”

He said this slyly, but Wen Zhen didn't pay attention to it at all, looked down at the dish, and sighed: "It's really disgusting!" ”

"Who do you say is disgusting!"

"I said you...... This dish! ”

"Oops, hey, this girl!" The referee at the bottom was not happy and said loudly, "Why are you so uneducated?" Chef Liu's dish is called stir-fried mountain and river meat. This meat is eaten in the mouth, tender and crispy, like a living creature, the taste is indescribable, the old man has never eaten such wonderful meat in his life. Its heat, knife work, materials, and plating...... All of them are perfect and deservedly the first! ”

This time, his tone was reasonable, and even Mr. Wang nodded again and again, shaking his head and saying: "This taste should only be in heaven, how many times can you taste it in the world!" ”

Although the quota is basically fixed, these two referees are former imperial chefs who have been recognized by several major families, and they are not allowed to recommend them, and they dare not send them to such a family without two real talents.

Someone brought out Chef Liu's dish to the people in front of them to taste, and everyone tasted it, their expressions were amazing, and some people couldn't help shouting, "This craftsmanship is not worse than that fire noodles!" Good indeed! ”

"Yes, this meat, this meat feels so special, not chicken or rabbit, especially tender, it does have a sense of freshness when you eat it!"

"It's like a living thing...... Wen Zhen smiled lightly, "yes, it's so lively, doesn't it feel like a little mouse, bouncing in its mouth?" ”

“……”

The two referees stiffened their faces, the people below were dumbfounded, and some people opened their mouths, and there were mountains and rivers in their mouths.

Chef Liu's face changed, and he exchanged a look with his subordinates.

"What...... What do you mean? ”

It took a long time for the referee to ask, and the corner of his eye dodged and looked at the plate of meat in front of him, as if he was afraid that a mouse would jump out of it.

The tongue in his mouth jumped and jumped, like a little mouse...... Oh, damn girl, there's such a metaphor?

"What do you mean?" Wen Zhen lowered his head and sniffed, "This should be a kind of gopher, fat and fragrant, second to none among the rats, it is indeed suitable for stir-frying, and the ingredients used are also very well placed, in terms of skill alone, it is indeed worthy of a master, just to win in order to show that it is different, use this kind of raw material that may have germs to compete...... Dear, I advise you to be kind. ”

Before the words fell, he spit out.

The two referees turned over the river and the sea, and the people outside angrily rolled up their sleeves and began to climb the wall, and some of them smashed stones from afar.

Chef Liu slammed over his desk, turned his head and ran off the stage.

Zhao Fuzun Huo Ran stood up and shouted: "Fu Ding! ”

Master Han was also shouting, "Someone! Close the door, whoever climbs the wall will be punished for trespassing, just shoot me down! ”

Zhao Gongzi jumped out from behind his father and pointed at Wen Zhen, "Take this woman down-"

The local gentry present stood up in a panic, and the family members who had already been prepared by the Han Mansion withdrew half-supported and half-moped.

More people jumped on the high platform and walked towards Wen Zhen.

Suddenly, a group of people went up the current and went straight to the high platform, one person in front of him ran quickly, and a bunch of women behind him were panting and chasing.

"Miss! Miss! ”

"Miss, slow down! Wrestle carefully! ”

"Come on, Miss, someone, come on—"

The chaotic crowd was silent, and when I turned my head to see, it was not Han Fangyin who was running around with her skirt and panting at the front?

Miss Han has always been reserved and dignified, no one has ever seen her running wildly, and she even forgot the task at hand for a while, and looked at her stupidly.

Han Fangyin ran wildly all the way, and when she passed by Zhao Gongzi's side, she stumbled, and Zhao Gongzi hurriedly reached out to help her, "Fangyin, what's wrong with you!" ”

He didn't shy away from helping her, anyway, most of the local people present tacitly agreed that Han Fangyin would marry into the Zhao family sooner or later.

As soon as Han Fangyin looked up and saw him, she suddenly jumped up, raised her hand and slapped him, "Phew! Don't touch me! The toad wants to eat swan meat! What the hell! ”

Zhao Gongzi, "......"

Zhao Fuzun: "......"

Master Han: "......"

Zhao Gongzi was directly beaten, covered his face and glared at Han Fangyin for a long time, at first he thought if he was seeing the wrong person, this is not Han Fangyin, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he wondered if he was having auditory hallucinations, and after a few more looks, he suddenly found that Han Fangyin, who had removed the fat powder, was distributed, and lost the gentle and elegant Han Fangyin on weekdays, it turned out that he didn't look very good.

And then suddenly I felt like an idiot.

His heart changed three times in an instant, and his emotions were complicated, and Zhao Fuzun had already rushed over there, and said in amazement: "Miss Han, what's wrong?" Did Chong'er offend you in something? Old man, let him pay ...... with you."

"Phew!" Han Fangyin gave him another spit full of disdain and strength, "What Fuzun!" What an adult! It's just a six-rank official, and he really thinks he's a thing! keeps saying that he is married to my family, and he is not for my family's money in his bones! I really think I'm a noble commodity! A brick falls from Tianjing, and an official like you can smash three to death! ”

Zhao Fuzun staggered three steps and held on to the pillar to save his leg.

I've heard ridicule, but I've never heard such a harsh ridicule.

This Han Fangyin, who is generous and capable on weekdays, is exquisite, every time she sees her, she is very respectful and does not say anything, and every sentence is intimate and close to the lungs, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it is as sweet as eating a jar of honey.

So that's what I thought?

"Fangyin!" Master Han rushed over, his face was as white as a ghost, and he was desperate to cover his daughter's mouth, "Are you crazy?" What nonsense are you talking about! Don't hurry up and excuse yourself for the Fuzun and the son! ”

Han Fangyin shook her head and avoided her father's hand, "Get out!" ”

"Fuck off! What kind of dad are you! My mother died, and you took care of me for a day? I want to learn to paint, you don't allow, I want to learn the piano, you don't allow, the eyes are shallow, the Wang family has made a fortune and wants me to tie up the Wang family, the Li family has a talent who wants me to visit the Li family, the Zhao family wants to be the in-laws of the Fuzun, but I hate why my mother didn't give birth to a litter of daughters for you, so that you can sell it to you and sell it to him! ”

"Smack!"

A slap made Han Fangyin's body spin like a top, a bloody tooth flew out, and he fell to the ground.

There was instant silence on all sides.

There was an awkward silence.

Zhao Fuzun and Master Han looked at each other.

After all, Zhao Fuzun is an official, and his adaptability is relatively good, so he was embarrassed for a while, and then said: "Fangyin may have been evil, so let's hurry back to the room." The top priority is to get this place right. ”

Master Han saw that the cooks on the high platform had already dispersed, and the two guards had originally forced Wen Zhen to go, forcing her to the back door, and they were all staying in place at the moment, not knowing what to do next. There was a commotion outside, but it was Qiu Qiu, who was sent by the Yi family to check on the new cook, who brought someone here, that Qiu Qiu looked angry, and it seemed that something had happened, Master Han had a headache, and quickly ordered someone to help Han Fangyin up, but Han Fangyin got up first, the slap was not light, half of her cheeks were already swollen, and when she looked up and saw Qiu Qiu running over, she immediately shouted inarticulately: "And you!" What kind of boy to pretend! However, a slave of the Yi family dares to ask me to hold you and tease me! Catch up Ming'er, your master of the family got up, and I can't cure you group of foxes and fake tigers! ”

Wen Zhen's eyes flashed.

Han Fangyin's last sentence is very interesting!

There was no movement in the Changchuan Yi family in the imperial court report, Yi Leshi had just returned to the main city after patrolling the border for a week, and it is said that he personally ordered to strengthen the border defense adjacent to Xichuan, Changchuan Yi's golden-backed and black-bellied unicorn flag fluttered on the border, and even the snowbird flag of the Duan family, the in-law of the Yi family, who controlled the indigenous ethnic groups of Changchuan, were planted all over the villages. How can you listen to Han Fangyin's tone, Yi Leshi has not been able to serve for a long time?

The health and trends of the head of the big family have always been a top-secret matter, related to the attitude and decision-making of the family itself and the imperial court, and can even shake the country's foundation, the imperial court is not without spies in Changchuan, and the news that the imperial court spies have not found out was inadvertently leaked to Han Fangyin by Qiu Qiu? But how did Qiu Qiu, the son of a minion, know about such an important matter?

If it's true, it's a windfall.

"My aunt, shut up!" Master Han was so anxious that he pounced on him, personally covered his daughter's mouth, and several powerful servants immediately came up, half-dragging and half-supporting Han Fangyin and leaving.

On the side, Zhao Gongzi Qiu Qiu's face was pale, the two glanced at each other, and each snorted angrily and walked away.

Zhao Fuzun's face was also ugly, and he pointed at Wen Zhen, "This is a demon girl!" Bewitched Miss Han! I found out the secrets of the dishes of several chefs, and slandered Chef Liu's mountain and river meat as rat meat, she came to cheat the bonus of the Rich Food Festival! Take it down to this mansion and torture it severely! ”

Wen Zhen took a step back and pouted.

It's really not enough to see the Yellow River.

She entered the Han Mansion today, in fact, she just wanted to see the personality of this mansion, if she was blinded, the competition would also give her a fair chance, then she would honestly show her cooking skills and compete for the quota of the chef who went to the Yi family to be a cook, so that she could also negotiate with Zhao Fuzun in private, which was conducive to quickly entering the Changchuan Yi family.

After all, whether it is Zhao Fuzun or Master Han, they have not been in direct contact with her, it is Han Fangyin who is playing tricks, and these two people should not be clear about the situation and cannot preset their positions.

She didn't want to directly reveal her identity and ask Zhao Fuzun to cooperate, so that she wouldn't be able to see the other party's true personality.

But as soon as you enter the door and look at the posture, you know that Han Fu and Fu are high, and they have no intention of understanding this so-called troublemaker, and it is impossible to give her a chance to compete fairly.

If she can't compete for the place of the Yi family's chef, she changed her mind and asked Chef Liu, who was vainly trying to occupy the magpie's nest, to take over Li Shishi's class. When Li Shishi knew that the Han Mansion and Liu Chu treated him like this, and even the Yi family might know about it but ignore it, Wen Zhen was very curious about what he would think and do.

Of course, the premise of this is that they can't reveal their identities in front of Zhao Fuzun, so that they can continue to send Liu Chu to the Yi family.

Zhao Fuzun ordered to take her, and she retreated to the back door, and her guards would definitely mix in the crowd of people to answer.

At this time, the soldiers and guards all rushed towards her, Wen Zhen retreated faster, his back had already touched the back door, and he was about to turn around and open the door, when suddenly the back door opened, Wen Zhen almost fell backwards, and a hand stretched out behind him, holding her, and moving back quickly, taking her into the crowd, and kicking the door at the same time.

When the hand came over to pull Wen Zhen, Wen Zhen's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely felt that there was something unusual, but the feeling flashed, and the force behind him was very great, and the people on all sides were surrounding.

The man behind her was still dragging her back, and somehow her strange feeling was even stronger - Yan Sui, Lin Feibai and her guards didn't seem to do this, so she turned slightly to look.

At this time, people rushed over, and someone reached out to grab her, and his fingers hooked into her sleeve, and he dropped something on the ground, but it was the token of her farmer's supervisor.

A scholar-like person picked it up, and subconsciously read out the words on it, "Yongyu will be the producer of Nong Wenzhen in the seventeenth year." ”

There was a sudden silence on all sides.
