Chapter 369

"You call me mean?"

Lan Hui sneered, leaned down, lowered her voice and said, "This is the palace, without despicability, there is no survival, Li Chunxiang, I was said that I didn't warn you, if you quit the competition now, I can also beg Niangniang to leave you a way to live, if you dare to compete again, I will make you look good." ”

Naked/naked/naked threat, Lan Hui's eyes swelled with murderous intent.

Quietly looking at these eyes, originally she planned to give up the game after seeing that man appear here, and took this opportunity to beg him to let her enter the imperial dining room, but now, an inexplicable fire rose from her heart, even if she missed this opportunity today, she had to persevere, let Lan Hui see, Miss Chu Si is not easy to bully.

Quietly pursed his mouth, and suddenly sneered and said

"Then I want to see how you can't participate in this assessment in front of so many people."

After speaking, she quietly grabbed the stool and climbed up, but one of her legs could no longer move, and her jaw was still faintly painful.

Lan Hui's face is not to mention how ugly it is, yesterday she also repeatedly assured in front of Concubine Hui that Li Chunxiang, who was placed in the imperial dining room by Zhaoyi Niangniang of Jingren Palace, was a waste at all, and she would only read an idle book every day, and chatter with a few eunuchs carrying water, not to mention the imperial diet, she couldn't even sweep the ground.

Concubine Hui listened to Lan Hui's words, her heart was also relieved, and she praised Lan Hui for her ability.

But now? This Li Chunxiang is not only not a waste, but also passed two levels of the selection competition, how can she not be in a hurry? If this is known by the mother, how can she explain it?

Seeing that she stood up quietly, Lan Hui's nose was about to be crooked.

"Have you figured it out? Li Chunxiang? ”

"What I hate the most in my life is that someone threatens me, Lan Hui, you are so capable, don't cheat!"

A quiet sentence made Lan Hui's sinister gaze instantly scattered, she looked around nervously, for fear that someone would hear the whispered words, and when she found that the people around her were busy, she closed her eyes uneasily, and lowered her voice to warn quietly.

"You dare to talk nonsense, beware of someone cutting your tongue."

Seeing that Lan Hui was scared, she quietly couldn't help laughing.

"If you bother me again, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control it, and I'm going to expose you if I give up this life, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I've been a famous disaster since I was a child, whoever approaches me is unlucky, hehe."

Quietly laughed again, which tendon of Xu pulled her thigh, and it hurt so badly that she could only hold her breath and stop talking.

Lan Hui gasped, her fists about to shatter.

In the middle of the venue, in that inconspicuous position, the man in brocade and blue clothes was still sitting steadily, but Liu Zhang seemed a little irritable, he stared at the fall, struggled to get up quietly, leaned down, and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, do you need us to go up and help her?"

"No!"

The man stretched out his hand coldly, signaling Liu Zhang to be restless, Liu Zhang could only stand back in place and stop talking, but his feet kept moving, and he looked a little irritable.

The man's gaze was still flat, his back was straight, his eyebrows were locked, and he looked at the plain-clothed woman in the venue intently, he didn't look away for a long time, she seemed to have wasted a lot of strength to stand up, one foot didn't dare to touch the ground, she walked one by one, walked out of a distance, and didn't forget to turn around and stretch out her little finger to the palace maid who tripped her.

Suddenly, he smiled.

This smile was very natural, making his facial features more and more handsome and elegant.

After two rounds of competition, there were only more than 100 people left in the venue who participated in the selection competition, everyone was very nervous, and it was fortunate that they could pass the first two levels, and these three levels should not be so easy to pass.

Soon, the three rounds of the selection competition began, and the presiding eunuch walked over with square steps and shouted loudly.

"Selection stopper, three topics, product!"

&nb

sp; Product? It seems to be the same as tasting, but it is different from tasting.

Most people believe that "seeing more and eating wide" can cultivate the ability to appreciate food, but in fact, the product is to have a perceptive, just by the accumulation of time and the accumulation of food can not be achieved, there is a tricky tongue is a necessary condition for a chef to become a god.

Quietly stretched out her tongue and retracted it again, she didn't know if this tongue would work, she could eat anything, and she didn't have much confidence in this level.

You can do it, quietly, the palace meal said, it all depends on the feeling of tasting.

The presiding eunuch introduced the rules of this level.

"You have a plate of imperial food in front of you, which is missing a seasoning, you want to identify, of course, this seasoning is not limited to the usual seasoning ingredients, now, take a bite, taste it, write out what is the raw material that will adjust the taste of this imperial meal to the fullest? Then write on a piece of paper, take a step back, and wait for inspection! ”

Hearing these words quietly, her ears were about to give birth to her, she dragged her sore leg and walked up with difficulty, and many people in the venue looked at her embarrassed appearance, and those who didn't know thought she was a cripple.

I opened the lid and found that it was a can of "jar chicken".

Quietly swallowed her saliva, she was a little hungry at this time, she took a spoonful of soup, she drank it, it was okay, she took another sip, it was delicious, she tasted it, blinked her eyes, and really didn't know what was missing.

Close your eyes and think quietly, if you let go of the idea of finding out what seasoning is missing in this jar of chicken, just think, what if you add something? Will it taste better? Is that the answer to this question?

She took a bite of the chicken and took a bite, a little bit of texture.

It seems that this jar of chicken, when hungry, is not bad, but one important thing is missing, which is wine, so the meat will have some material, this kind of wine is very common, that is, cooking wine, but in addition, if you add some dried scallops......

Quietly picked up the pen without hesitation, now think about it, this topic is not difficult at all, but when the pen fell, she hesitated, just now the presiding eunuch clearly said very clearly, there are not two kinds of condiments, what can I do?

Is it writing one? Or two? If it's wrong, after this round, quietly go back and pick up the broom and sweep the floor obediently.

It's a dangerous question

At the scene of the entire assessment, there was a strange situation, most of the participants were in a daze, it seemed that a simple jar chicken assessment stumped all the United States and Britain. Love to see the flowers

What is the answer? Or two? There was a sound of scratching ears and cheeks and sighing from the venue.

"The time is almost up, let's put pen to paper......" The presiding eunuch squinted his eyes and urged, as if this round of assessment had been delayed for a long time.

Quietly bit her lip hard, if this is really fate, just accept fate, she wants to seek truth from facts and write what she thinks is right, so she put pen to paper ruthlessly, wrote two spices, and then took a step back and did not move.

Quietly believing that she was going to turn around and go back in a while, honestly sweep the floor, wipe the door, and then listen to Lan Hui's cold words, she was going to hit this woman, but now it seems that she is deceiving herself.

Not far away, the sweat on Lan Hui's forehead seeped out, her brows were furrowed, and there were a few deep ditches, Concubine Hui said that everything had been arranged, and she wanted her to be smart, don't spoil the big thing, since Niang Niang had arranged it in advance, why did the names of the two spices written on the white paper of cheating? The eunuch just now clearly said that there was a lack of one, what should she do?

Lan Hui was very annoyed, who gave her the solution, didn't this embarrass her?

Seeing that the time was up, Lan Hui's ears were full of warnings from Concubine Hui, telling her to be careful, don't mess things up, gasping deeply, Lan Hui knew that this pen would determine her fate, there was only one answer, it must be one, this note must have been written by the imperial chef of the imperial dining room, thinking of this, she did not hesitate to write down the word "cooking wine", and then put down the pen nervously and took a step back.

"There's only one, there's only one......" Lan Hui muttered quietly.

"All done?"

The presiding eunuch smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the supervising eunuch stepped forward, looked through all the paper handkerchiefs on the table, and then handed the results to the presiding eunuch.

The presiding eunuch raised his neck and read aloud, "Forty-three retreats, seventy-six retreats, ninety retreats, ninety-two retreats......

Thinking of this, the presiding eunuch paused, looked at Lan Hui, the paper in his hand was trembling slightly, it seemed that there was a result that was also unexpected by him, did he read it, or didn't read it?

Lan Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead, why did she read her number, if she could win this round, she shouldn't have read the number ninety-two, did this damn presiding eunuch make a mistake.

Just when Lan Hui was nervous, a heart quietly fell, and her eighty-ninth number actually crossed over, which shows that her answer is right, but why is it right? What the presiding eunuch said was a condiment, and everyone listened to it really.

"Ninety-two retreat!"

After the presiding eunuch hesitated, he still read it out, and beads of sweat on his cheeks flowed.

When Lan Hui heard that it was really the ninety-second retreat, her face turned white all of a sudden, it turned out to be her retreat? She retired? How is it possible, it won't, the answer is one.

"No, what you said just now was a blind eye, I wrote a blind taste! You can't go wrong. Lan Hui lost her temper, and she shouted loudly.

The presiding eunuch's gaze swept over Lan Hui's face uneasily, and after staring for a moment, he immediately lowered his head and continued to read, this round, there were only twenty people left in the venue, and most of them retreated.

All the contestants who withdrew were puzzled as to why they had withdrawn.

Lan Hui's face was iron blue, she stood there, her legs were shaking, and the answer to the cheating note was written why was it two bells? Are both correct? With a buzz, Lan Hui's eyes darkened, her body staggered, and she almost fell out.

The presiding eunuch looked very embarrassed, and the paper in his hand was shaking, when a little eunuch with a smile on his face walked up, stood beside the presiding eunuch, and explained loudly and unhurriedly.

"Although the title of this is not difficult, it is also difficult, this is the title of the head of the inner dining room, it is intended to taste, but it is to test your guts, the father-in-law of Qian who presided over just now did say that there is only one kind of seasoning missing, but in fact, in the jar chicken on each table, there are two flavors of seasoning, one is the key auxiliary material, it is easy to taste, and the other is the jar chicken must be flavored and fresh, presumably many people know, right?"

The smiling father-in-law unfolded a small book, and continued, "The selection of the imperial chef not only requires your exquisite cooking skills, but also your spirit of adhering to principles, waiting for the emperor, Niangniang and the important ministers of the court, what is needed is a loyal and honest imperial chef who adheres to the facts, this is the topic of the third round, please write an answer, and retire honestly." ”

After speaking, the smiling father-in-law glanced at the presiding father-in-law, and the presiding father-in-law immediately nodded again and again.

"Following

Let's continue, those who will retire have cleared the field, right? The eunuch was still smiling, glanced at Lan Hui with his eyes, and went down.

Lan Hui stood there, unable to say a word, the answer on the paper was right, but she lost the competition in order to cater to the assessment.

After three rounds, Lan Hui was eliminated.

It's a shocking turning point, it's a really surprising result, the sweeping handyman was not only quietly not eliminated, but also watched Lan Hui, a slut, get out, what kind of state of mind is this?

Laugh? Quietly she couldn't laugh, faintly, she felt that this imperial kitchen assessment was very complicated, there were people fighting in it, but who were the people fighting each other behind their backs?

His eyes swept over the scene, and he quietly noticed the leader of the inner imperial dining room, the eunuch Lan Gonggong, the question seemed to be from him, and the answer was naturally given by him, but why did he set the rules of the question like this? It seems that on the surface, he has good intentions, all for the sake of the emperor, his mother, and the ministers, but if you think about it carefully, there is a mystery in this.

There is no doubt that the three rounds of assessment eliminated the cheating Lan Hui, and Grandpa Lan's expression looked very proud.

When Lan Gonggong looked at the quiet with admiring eyes, she immediately lowered her head, and her heart went up and down, this person looked at what she was doing, as if there were twenty-four people who won this time.

After avoiding his gaze, he quietly turned his eyes to look behind Liu Zhang and Xu Jin, and the man in the brocade and blue shirt slowly stood up and turned around indifferently, as if he had something to leave.

Quietly because of her anger just now, she wanted to compete with Lan Hui, and now that Lan Hui has withdrawn, there is no need for her to be so stubborn and insist, if it is still too late, she still has to say a few words to this man.

But the man walked with great steps, and if he didn't hurry, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

"Hey, hey, you, you, wait!"

A reminder of early summer

After shouting quietly and recklessly, she found that the distance was too far, and shouting was in vain, but it attracted everyone's strange eyes, her face turned red, she quickly closed her mouth, lifted her skirt, and chased after her. Love to see the flowers

But before she could take a few steps, her thigh was torn and painful, and with an oops, she fell to the ground with a stagger, and she was sweating profusely as she watched the figure go farther and farther.

This damn leg hurts terribly, let alone chasing, even if you can't walk.

"That's all for today's assessment, the remaining twenty-five people have settled down to rest, and the rest of the people, where did they come from, where are they going."

The presiding eunuch announced that it was over, his eyes came through the gap in the raised paper silk, glanced at it quietly, and then the corners of his mouth were raised, the paper silk was put away, as if he didn't see it quietly, and walked past her with his neck raised.

The gray-blue shirt and black shoes swept past the quiet eyes, bringing up a touch of dust and directly raising it on her face, this bastard must be in the same group as Lan Hui, otherwise how could he walk in front of the quietly like this.

Everyone dispersed, and Gonggong Ping stood up and instructed the two palace daughters and a little eunuch beside him to quickly help them back to the imperial dining room.

"When you go back, call the doctor to come and see."
