The Queen Mother looked at her kindly and nodded: "This method is good, fresh, and the mourning family is the master." ”

"But there are only four longans per person, or do you take four longans to vote for each round? If four were used in the first round, it would be unfair. Concubine Shu wondered.

"Naturally, there are four longans per round, if you don't meet your eyes, don't vote, and the extra longan is considered to be a waiver."

The queen saw that Concubine Shu didn't please her, so she was naturally happy to praise the queen mother, "We have been fighting here for a long time and have no good way, or the queen mother has a good eye, and the county lord of Jiaoyue is obedient like an invisible person today, but he opened his mouth and came up with such a wonderful idea." “

With the queen's words, who dared to say anything to the nobles sitting there, they were flattering, and the good words poured out as if they didn't want money.

The time is just right, before the drum sounds, the pigeon eggs are just placed, and the last dish of red plum beads is cooked.

Lin Mei generously glanced at the delicious dishes cooked by Master Dou, and as expected, the first dish was Chef Dou's specialty dish chrysanthemum shrimp, and the other was braised lion's head, accompanied by a crucian carp soup, which looked good.

However, the shape is not as exquisite, unique and unique as its own.

The palace maid put the delicacies and names carefully cooked by the contestants into the food box in turn and sent them to the Linxi Pavilion.

The county lord of Jiaoyue couldn't wait to take a look, and he didn't know how many rounds Lin Mei faction was in, but under the eyes of the queen mother, he didn't dare to inquire, and when he heard the sound of drums, he stretched out his head to look.

Concubine Shu still hated Jiaoyue who had just done bad things for herself, and when she saw her stretching out her head to look around, she looked impatient, and said with a smile: "Look, the county lord of Jiaoyue still seems to be a child who can't grow up, and just praised you for your quick thinking, and now it will immediately appear in its original form, but you are greedy, quickly restrain yourself, anyway, you also grew up in this palace, what kind of delicious food have you not eaten?" It's like this. ”

This is not a good word, even the late Concubine De Niangniang was also arranged, and the county lord of Jiaoyue was not a vegetarian, so he immediately shot back: "The chef skills of the princess's mansion are not as good as the imperial dining room in the palace, I have endured it for three years, isn't it early gluttony, smelling the fragrance coming from outside, I feel hungry, unlike the lady concubine Niangniang grew up eating the delicacies of Fanlou since she was a child, and the delicacies cooked by the imperial chef in this palace must not be in line with Niangniang's taste." ”

If this word is spread to the imperial dining room, it will be enough for her concubine to eat a pot.

Concubine Shu was so angry that her face was pale, and she wanted to say a few words about her, but she missed the opportunity.

I saw Gonggong Hai come back and forth, "The dishes cooked by each family in each round have been arranged according to the will of the county lord, please invite the queen mother and all the ladies and ladies to move to the dining room." ”

Subsequently, the nobles moved with the Queen Mother.

A long row of dining tables, two dishes and one soup, each placed in a row according to the source, and a note is pressed under each dish, on which the name of each dish is written, which is convenient for the nobles to choose.

One of the most eye-catching is a red and white delicacy, which makes people look away, Princess Xianyi is the most excited, pointing to the note and chanting: "Red plum beads, this name is good, it really fits the occasion." "I threw two longans directly into the bowl.

The Queen Mother came over to take a look, if this is the case, the red shrimp color is bright in the white pigeon eggs like snow against the backdrop of the real plum, but it attracts the eyeballs, next to the "Buddha's hand Guanyin Lotus" is even more peculiar shape, really like the Buddha sitting on a lotus, really well-intentioned. I have already paid attention to it in my heart, but I am afraid that everyone will follow the trend and vote, so I have endured it. Sent henchmen to throw three longans when people were not paying attention.

The county lord of Jiaoyue didn't know which dish came out of Lin Mei's hands, and with his feelings, he looked at it as if he was watching, and this comparison still felt that "Buddha's Hand Guanyin Lotus" and "Red Plum Bead Fragrance" were eye-catching, so he directly voted three longan.

Concubine Shu had made up her mind not to vote, and she didn't have to be cheap for outsiders, but she loved beauty by nature, and looking at the "Buddha's Hand Guanyin Lotus" and "Red Plum Bead Fragrance" were indeed eye-catching, it can be seen that the county lord of Jiaoyue had already voted, and he was firm in his original intention - to abstain from voting.

Other nobles voted for their favorite dishes, and some nobles gave up their votes for some reason.

Seeing that the vote was almost over, Gonggong Hai said loudly: "Please sit down the Queen Mother, please sit down, ladies and gentlemen." ”

Next, there is the tasting session, which is the most critical time, and each dish has to be tried once before you can come to a conclusion.

Eat it while it's hot, for the queen mother who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, it really has a different flavor, in the past, when dozens of dishes prepared by the imperial dining room were arranged, many dishes were cold, and the queen mother often lost her appetite after a few bites. Today, I may be in a good mood and a judge, and I don't want to lose my fairness, but I really tasted the steaming delicacies one by one. If you come across something that tastes outstanding, swallow it, and if you encounter something that doesn't taste good, cover it with a handkerchief and spit it out.

……

Lin Mei sat in the gazebo, drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely, watching the game, patiently waiting for the final result.

Qiu Zilong was the master who couldn't calm down, pointing to the game scene, like a storyteller, commenting on Ah Qing one by one.

"Ah Qing, guess if that person is stupid and chose a whole sheep, is he going to roast a whole sheep? Can it be roasted in an hour's time? ”

"Ah Qing, look, that person's knife skills are so good, just cut a few knives on that duck, and then directly take out the bones with your hands, it seems that you and I have to go back and practice diligently."

"Master, look, isn't that just a bear's paw? My goodness, I didn't pay attention to the ingredients just now, I knew that I would have taken it, although we don't need it, it's good to take a few more looks. ”

After that, he exclaimed again and again, and Dou Dezhu, who was sitting next to him, was also interested, and actually discussed and commented.

In the end, like a child, he started to bet with Qiu Zilong, as if this game had nothing to do with them, and the bet was the last twenty-four, who could win.

In the midst of the chattering quarrel between the two, Lin Mei also ran to the thatched hut twice, and finally survived until the end of the game, seeing that the result was about to come out. It's fake that I'm not excited in my heart, but I don't want people to see it clearly, so I am calm, with a calm expression on my face.

Gonggong Hai took the counting results of the votes of each family in his hand, and read to the nobles: "First round: five votes in Defu Building; 18 votes for Jixian Building; Zhiwei Building six votes; Seven votes for Sanxian Building, twenty-three votes for Hongxing Building, thirteen votes for Tianxiang Building, and ten votes for Jufu Building......"

"Second round: 20 votes for Zhuangyuan Building, 10 votes for Shuxiang Building, 12 votes for Yuxian Village, 5 votes for Meishan Building......"

"The third round: four votes for the Fin Xuan Building, twenty-one votes for the Dongxing Building, fifteen votes for the Fan Building, ten votes for the Seafood Building, ...... the Queen Mother, the thirty-six singing votes have been read, and the most votes are twenty-three votes for the Hongxing Building, twenty-one votes for the Dongxing Building, twenty votes for the Zhuangyuan Building, eighteen votes for the Jixian Building, and fifteen votes for the Fan Building."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, this win is so good, Fan Lou's hundred birds return to the nest, she recognized it at a glance, if she didn't vote for four, I'm afraid I would have lost, but I still narrowly won. I just don't know what kind of dish the red apricot building makes? Not to mention the quota in Luoyang's hometown, this time it won 23 votes?

Thinking of this, Yan Yan smiled and said: "Grandpa Hai, I don't know what kind of dish this Hongxing Lou cooks, and it won the first prize?" ”

When the county lord of Jiaoyue heard the name of Hongxing Tower, his eyes lit up, if he won, wouldn't he have won 20,000 taels of silver? Secretly glanced at Princess Heng, inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but her heart was extremely excited, pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly heard Concubine Shu ask, her brows moved: Could it be that she wants to make it bad again?

"Back to Concubine Niangniang, the three dishes of the Red Apricot House are Guiqi Black Chicken Soup, Bergamot Guanyin Lotus, and Red Plum Beads."

Well, this time Concubine Shu has no opinion, and secretly said in her heart: I didn't vote because I was strong-willed.
