However, after half a burnt incense, Li Binghai has already skillfully boiled the oil, fried a pot of fragrant and browned, attractive color fried rice, although there are other contestants who have fried fried rice, but it is definitely not comparable to Li Binghai's, seeing the finished product, Uncle Hua even concluded that this is the craftsmanship of the palace.

Li Binghai divided the fried rice into three portions, and a small servant came forward to bring the plate to Ruan Mianmian and them, and let them taste it before making a decision.

In fact, after Li Binghai appeared, he was already destined to be selected, otherwise this play would not be able to be sung, so as soon as the meal was eaten, Ruan Mianmian and they made a surprised expression, gave a thumbs up, and called Ruan Bai Haosheng to send Li Binghai's chef to the rest area to wait, for fear that Li Binghai would run away, which made Li Binghai feel very comfortable, his cooking skills are serious imperial dining room skills, and they don't change their money, how can these crooked melons and cracked dates be compared to the folks?

Thinking of this, Li Binghai's limping steps were faster, and he thought to himself: Now the things explained by King Qi can be done, and it is just around the corner for him to become famous and famous in the world.

Mu Ruqing and Ruan Mianmian glanced at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, it seems that this competition was not in vain, King Qi's fish has been hooked, how long to raise it depends on their ideas.

As soon as Li Binghai was taken out here, Liu Xin'er came back and motioned Ruan Mianmian and them to enter the house, and everyone arrived at Mu Ruqing's room, and just sat down in front of the small square table, they saw a sudden clang from the back window, and then the window opened and a person jumped in from outside.

This man was dressed in a gray cloth and a short beat, dusty and dusty, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, the kind that he couldn't remember at a glance when he walked on the street, but his back was straight and his body was slender, and this temperament was different from his appearance. He dusted off his body and complained, "How long has it been since the back window of your house has been wiped down, and I have been choking on the dirt all over my body." ”

This voice is sunny and gentle, isn't it the voice of the British king's return?

I saw him put his two hands behind his two ears, fumbled for a while, and with a gentle pull, a flesh-colored translucent face was torn off, revealing his stunning true face under the mask.

Ruan Mianmian lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea in front of him, and asked, "How is it, why did that Li Binghai only arrive now?" I thought he wasn't coming. ”

"Although this person is not in good health, his brain is very slippery, when he went out, he said that he was going to the south to buy ingredients, I followed all the way, who knew that he really went out along the pipeline except for Dachengmen, walked for two or three days, I thought that when he followed the wrong person, he disguised himself as he is now and entered the city, if we were not prepared, I am afraid that he would have been fooled." Lu Gui rubbed his face, which was stiff because he had been wearing a mask for too long, and took out a round turtle from his sleeve and put it on the table: "This little thing was suffocated with me, and I didn't let him come out to move." ”

Ruan Mianmian was surprised when he saw the little turtle, and gestured at its shell in his hand: "Isn't this the one I gave to the prince, it's all grown so big?" ”

Mu Ruqing took the turtle and put it back beside Lu Gui: "Let's get down to business, you can catch up with the turtle later." ”

Ruan Mianmian stuck out his tongue and brought the topic back on track: "Speaking of which, this chef is treacherous, King Qi has such a straightforward temperament, and his brain is not bright, he must not be able to think so thoroughly, otherwise Liu Xi'er would have avoided suspicion when something like that happened, and he should not have posted it." ”

"Although it is not the King of Qi, it is not necessarily the method that Li Binghai came up with by himself, you forgot, on the letterhead we got, the details are all direct correspondence with the housekeeper of the Qi Palace, this housekeeper must be an important figure behind the scenes, maybe it is still the key to the King of Qi being able to contact the barbarians in the capital, and the King of Qi will definitely be killed at that time, and this housekeeper will not let him run away." Lu Gui gestured his fingers to the tabletop to prevent the turtle from falling.

"Okay, I have to bother you to go into the palace and tell Your Majesty about the current situation, we will also write Li Binghai into the list, tomorrow's competition has reserved a seat for Your Majesty, just in the middle of the second floor, there is a curtain hanging outside, you can't see the people inside, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Mu Ruqing said.

"Then I'll go into the palace, and when the big trouble of King Qi is solved, you can invite me to eat hot pot as soon as you taste the fragrance." Lu Gui smiled, picked up the mask and pressed it everywhere with his fingers, and then pasted it on his face for a while, flexibly fitting this face seamlessly on his face, covering his original face.

"I invite you to eat for free for a lifetime, and I don't charge money." Mu Ru Qingfeng also smiled heartily, and got up to open the window for Lu Gui.

Lu Gui jumped lightly and jumped out of the window, the phrase "light as a swallow" could not be more appropriate to describe him, such a simple action is also done so coherently and attractively, it can be seen that martial arts have improved again.

After Lu returned and left, Mu Ruqing and the others re-copied a list of fifteen people, which was read out by Ruan Mianmian in front of everyone, and the selected chefs were all funded by Yipinxiang to arrange for them to rest in the guest rooms of the nearby inn, and the rest of the eliminated ones were given a tael of silver to make a coil, and each went back to his own home.

The chefs who stayed behind were naturally in the eyes of Mu Ruqing and Uncle Hua, everyone had special skills, but Uncle Hua knew that no matter how powerful anyone was, he would not have harmed the imperial dining room in the palace, so if he didn't use some means, it would be easy for Li Binghai to win the first place this time, but if he was allowed to win the championship so easily, then this scene would be boring, so he specially instructed Ruan Mianmian and Ruan Bai to arrange a young man named Qin Feng next door to Li Binghai when the room allocation of the inn was time.

Ruan Mianmian knows this Qin Feng, although he doesn't know how to cook a lot of dishes, but the best skill is the control and observation of ingredients, he is naturally sensitive to taste and smell, and can find one in a pile of potatoes that is about to sprout and spoil, and even by tasting it, he can judge most of the ingredients and the amount of ingredients used in a dish, which surprised her.

With this unique skill, the chicken stewed mushroom soup made by Qin Feng is delicious and fragrant, the chicken is refreshing and not greasy, the mushrooms absorb enough chicken soup is full and clear, eating it in the mouth is like biting open a treasure, and the flavors layer by layer are perfectly retained and integrated, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

After arranging a place to live, Ruan Mianmian was a little puzzled after coming back: "Uncle Hua, aren't you very optimistic about that Qin Feng, why do you arrange him next door to Li Binghai?" ”

Uncle Hua stroked his beard and made an unfathomable expression: "Then tell me, what is the first thing Li Binghai has to do when he arrives at the inn?" ”

Ruan Mianmian scratched her head and thought for a while, shook her head, and Liu Xin'er next to her turned her head and interjected: "I think... It's time to find out the strength of the other contestants first, although he is very confident in his own strength, but he can't be sure whether the opponents are all straw bales, whether there is someone behind him to give advice or he is smart, he will not let such a good opportunity not to test the depth of others. Besides, others besides him will surely test each other. ”

Uncle Hua nodded: "Xin Yatou is right, if Li Binghai finds that there is a half-witter living next door who is not as good as him, then he will sit on the top smoothly along the competition, but if this is the case, he will not make a move and leak flaws, only a person like Qin Feng, who is naturally suitable for cooking, can arouse his worries and force him to make a move." ”

"Then Qin Feng will be in danger, you value him so much, you won't push him into the fire pit." Ruan Mianmian was worried about Qin Feng's safety.

"No, I have already dialed one of the secret guards sent by the Emperor Fangcai, once Li Binghai makes a move, our people will protect Qin Feng and collect evidence without startling the snake, and it will not be difficult to use evidence to hold him hostage at that time."

Ruan Mianmian smiled, she knew the skills of the emperor's secret guard, so she didn't have to worry about Qin Feng at all.

In the blink of an eye, the lively Yipinxiang finally fell silent, while the nearby inn with the contestants of the Chef's Championship was bustling with activity.

The fifteen players all lived on the second floor of the inn, and each person had a tidy room, but they had to go to the hall on the first floor to eat together.

Although they are competitors, the contestants still appreciate each other, maybe they will still work together in Yipinxiang in the future, so the relationship is not bad, Qin Feng cleaned his face and went downstairs, and saw that the others had already reserved a seat for him, he was the youngest of these chefs, but everyone knew that he was talented and talented, so they didn't despise him.

Li Binghai, who came to the competition in the end, was not familiar with everyone, and he didn't know everyone's ability, he thought that the most important thing to pay attention to was those who were old and looked old, but listening to the talk of these people, they all agreed that this young and white young man was the easiest to be selected, so he asked without a trace, only then did he know that Qin Feng was born with a keen sense of taste, and he couldn't help but plant a seed in his heart.

If there is a great achievement in the life of a chef, years of hard training are naturally essential, but if a person is talented, then he can top the ordinary people who have worked hard for ten years. It's like someone who can't even control oil, salt, sauce and vinegar after learning for a long time, but someone can bring out the strongest flavor of the ingredients by swaying it at will. If you want to cultivate a good cook, it must be that people with good talents and willing to endure hardships are more popular.

At this moment, the young man named Qin Feng came down from upstairs and happened to be sitting in the vacant seat opposite Li Binghai. Li Binghai observed this young man, with clean eyebrows, eyes and a small mouth, he looked a little thin, and his arms had some strong muscles, which seemed to be caused by hard work every day.

As soon as Qin Feng sat down, he casually pointed to a steamed fish covered with chili peppers in front of him, and sniffed: "This fish was not caught today." Then he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of the fish's belly and chewed it carefully, adding, "It's not yesterday." ”
