"Trust me, you're going to win this time." Ange said again.

"Why?" Quietly surprised, why did An Ge say that, he didn't even taste the roasted whole sheep she made.

"The smell, although your sheep is a little roasted and dark, the aroma wafting out is unusual." An Ge's eyes narrowed, and after he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically.

"You really don't play?"

"Don't play."

Quietly shook her head, she was really in no mood, maybe she would be interested in the future, but now she was more concerned about the final result, An Ge saw that she quietly refused, so she lowered her head and played with herself again, with a little smile on the corner of her mouth, which did not disperse for a long time.

Soon, it was the turn of the four, and there was a feeling of sitting on a pincushion, and her fingers grasped the burned hollow of her clothes, pulling little by little, until there was a thud, and the hole was even bigger, and she let go uneasily.

One of the ministers stood up, walked over to the four roasted whole lambs, and nodded.

"Well, I said, the rich aroma just now came out of this roasted whole sheep, but unfortunately, it was a little roasted, and the abdomen was burnt, but this sheep is the real whole sheep, and the sheep has no mouth, which is very special."

"Burnt paste is a failure, what's the use of smelling good? Taste it for a while to see if the meat is as special as it smells. Another minister said.

Quietly heard it underneath, the more mushy parts were indeed in the abdomen and sides of the raising, she really didn't have much strength at that time, seeing that it was pasty, she hurriedly rummaged it, and as a result, a stumble almost entered the charcoal fire, and the sheep was so scorched.

"Although you don't have enough manpower, you have to admit that you still lack some effort in roasting the whole sheep, and you are not calm enough, but the sheep can be roasted with such a fragrance, it can only be said that you are smart enough."

In his ears, An Ge's voice came again, strange, wasn't he playing with the gadgets in his hand? How can he hear everything everyone says?

Quietly did not respond to An Ge's words, his eyes continued to look forward, and the ministers began to taste, still a piece in front of the sheep and a piece behind him, avoiding those parts of the toast.

Soon, something strange appeared on the faces of each of the ministers.

Four roasted whole lambs

Why did he have a strange expression, quietly held his breath, and his whole body was tense, was it too unpalatable? What would they look like?

"It's amazing. "The minister who just said that this sheep was a failure shook his head.

Strange? What's strange? Quietly her nose was sour, and her tears were about to flow, she had been roasted so hard all night, but she was said to be strange, and their judgment really didn't leave her any hope.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." The other minister sat down and began to write on paper.

Although she couldn't see what the ministers wrote on the paper, she also understood the meaning of the word "pity", she hung her head and sighed, knowing that the road to the imperial dining room was still very long, and she was a little anxious to get things done.

An Ge took the things in his hand, came over with his ear, and whispered, "How can you be discouraged before the results are out?" You're so unconfident in yourself. ”

"I roasted the sheep so much that I almost roasted myself together, what hope is there?" Quietly raised his eyes, and the frustration in his eyes was full of frustration.

"I see it......" An Ge laughed.

"Is my roasted whole lamb really that bad?" Quietly muttered in frustration.

"You seem to care about the result this time, in fact, it doesn't matter who attends the state banquet, what matters is whose craftsmanship is good, but I can't figure it out, what are you fighting for? Do you just want to be a royal chef, or do you want to climb to a higher position in the palace? An Ge asked in a low voice.

Position?

Quietly stunned, there is no doubt that An Ge misunderstood her purpose and decided that she was fighting for rights, but was she really fighting for rights? Quietly knew very well in her heart that she was not for rights, but wanted an explanation, a reasonable reason for her to believe that her uncle was not wronged and indeed murdered the emperor.

"No, I just want to live well." Whispered a whispered answer.

"Just because you are a woman and have extraordinary looks, even if you leave the palace, you will not live a bad life."

An Ge doesn't believe in the quiet reason, a stunning beauty, outside the palace, it is not difficult to find a wishful husband, in the palace, it is not difficult to attract the favor of the emperor and the princes and ministers, but she has to take this road?

An Ge's suspicion made Quiet very uneasy, and she lowered her voice and asked.

"Chef An is suspicious of Haruka's purpose?"

"No, I just think you're doing it too much." An Ge replied naturally, seemingly without thinking.

Bring sand to the beach? These words made the quiet face a little pale, he didn't know the inside story at all, how could he dare to make such an assertion, if An Ge's uncle was beheaded all over the house, he ended up homeless, I don't know if he could still say such a relaxed word.

"Why do you say that I have done it many times?" Quietly felt a little embarrassed in my heart.

Quietly displeased, An Ge felt it, he frowned, and lowered his voice.

"What do you want, maybe I can help you."

"Just you?"

I really don't want to laugh at him quietly, what kind of person is An Ge, he is just a royal chef in the palace, cooking, maybe no one is as good as him, but when he investigates his uncle's case, he is afraid that he will be scared to pee his pants if he listens.

"Are you underestimating me?" Ange chuckled.

"No, I just think it's a little rash for Imperial Chef An to speak like this, it's not a thing, a royal chef can do it."

After whispering these words, An Ge suddenly burst out laughing, attracting the eyes of everyone around him.

Quietly frightened, he closed his eyes in embarrassment, deviated as much as he could, and avoided An Ge, how could he suddenly laugh so presumptuously? There are also a few adults here, father-in-law, monk food director, how can he be so bold as an imperial chef.

But An Ge smiled, and laughed, everyone just looked back a few times, and then they all closed their eyes, there is no doubt that the staff of An Yuchu is very good, and everyone does not want to blame him.

But for some reason, this imperial chef, who didn't seem to care much about anything, gave Quietly a very strange feeling, he seemed to be able to penetrate her mind, which made her very uneasy.

The four roasted whole sheep had tasted it, and it was very quiet in the dining hall, and it took a long time for Xue Wanyue to open her mouth.

"I took a look at the opinions of the adults, and I know what everyone thinks about these four roasted whole sheep, and I basically have a conclusion, but I still want to know why you chose this way? There should be a certain reason, and speaking out also convinced several chefs and imperial chefs. ”

After Xue Wanyue's words, an adult stood up,

Walked before roasting the whole lamb.

"The old man first said, just tasted a roasted whole sheep, it should be said that the color and flavor are there, the taste is also very good, it is a real roasted whole sheep, but I tasted two, but it is really different, this whole sheep skin is crispy and tender, silky and slippery, without any dry feeling, the old man feels that in the heat, the two are more pure, and the control of the charcoal fire is very good, as for these three......

The minister paused slightly, Mao Dasong heard that he was going to comment on the three, he wiped his red face nervously, and gasped, although he really wanted to become an imperial chef, but defeating Li Chunxiang was his ultimate goal, and he definitely couldn't let Li Chunxiang suppress it in this competition.

Mao Dasong has been observing Li Chunxiang's movements since he started roasting the whole sheep, knowing that the woman woke up and started roasting, his heart began to go up and down, although he was grinning on the surface, and his words were ridiculous Li Chunxiang was useless, but from Chunxiang's face, he saw the confidence that made him anxious.

Why is Li Chunxiang so confident? Mao Dasong felt bad.

After panicking, Mao Dasong took a breath, calmed himself down, and continued to listen to the adults' explanations.

"Three, although the surface looks good, and it took a lot of effort to make the surface, but unfortunately, the taste tastes like ordinary cooking, and I can't taste a little grassland style, and the meat is still a little dry."

After such a comment, Mao Dasong was stunned, and his face was ugly.

"Next are these four, the sheep look good, but unfortunately the heat is too bad, and they are still scorched."

The adult's straightforward opening made the quiet frustration to the extreme, it's over, this time it's all over, not only did he lose the opportunity, but also made Shangshi's supervisor Xue Wanyue suspicious of favoritism.

Quietly lowered her head, eager to find a gap to hide, she really didn't want to see Xue Wanyue's disappointment, maybe this time when she went back, she had to go back to cooking.

But just when he was quietly discouraged, the minister's voice sounded again.

"That said, the taste of this sheep is the best and most intriguing."

"That's true."

Another minister also stood up, nodded and said, "I was very disappointed with the charcoal roasting of this sheep, but after tasting it, I have to say that this chef's seasoning skills are by no means ordinary, if the seasoning skills of the four chefs and the roast sheep skills of the two chefs are combined, I believe that this state banquet will not disappoint the Mongolians." ”

Stir up a lot of fuss

He even praised four roasted whole lambs?

Quietly thinking that she had misheard, her eyes widened, and she was so excited that she couldn't breathe, but An Ge beside her was still very calm, fiddling with the gadgets in her hand, and slowly pushed and pulled. Love to see the flowers

After the minister's comments, there stood another, the minister who had lived in Mongolia for the longest time, and the one who had the most voice.

"Four roasted whole sheep, there is a faint aroma, smelling should be the taste of wild roses and afoetid, which reminds me of when I was on an envoy to Mongolia, an old man who has roasted whole sheep in Mongolia for most of his life said that no one can control the amount of afoetida, more is too much, less is tasteless, everything depends on the mouth and nose, so this chef should have strong seasoning skills, but he has less experience, which does not affect him to become a good helper for the state banquet."

"It seems that I was not wrong this time."

Xue Wanyue's gaze was quiet, she didn't need to look at the name under the tray to know who made this roasted whole sheep.

"Since everyone thinks the same, it's decided, let's look at the name under the tray." The ministers all nodded in agreement, wondering who the two chefs were.

Many people think that it is Sihai and An Ge, or Mao Dasong, no one will quietly put it in their eyes, what else can a woman who can burn her clothes out?

Mao Dasong was already deflated, and he knew from listening to the discussions of the ministers that he was out, but was Li Chunxiang also out? Who is the roast sheep, and whose are the four, because when he was in the canteen, he only cared about looking at his roasted whole sheep, and he didn't pay much attention to what Li Chunxiang's roasted sheep looked like.

Almost everyone held their breath, and An Ge was still there with his head down, entertaining predominantly.

"The chef of the two roasted whole sheep is Ange!" The eunuch read it out loud, and An Ge raised his head, smiled at the eunuch, and continued to bow his head and play with Mu Fang.

"The chef of the four roasted whole sheep is Li Chunxiang!"

As soon as Li Chunxiang's three words came out, the surroundings were silent, as if a needle fell to the ground, it could make a sound, how could it be Li Chunxiang? Not only the chefs and imperial chefs who participated, but also the ministers, even the eunuchs who read the note were dumbfounded.

Xue Wanyue was very calm, sitting there steadily, suddenly, there was a hint of relief between her eyebrows.

"How could it be her!"

Mao Dasong finally couldn't control it, a tall man jumped up, how could it be Li Chunxiang, that woman was just a cook, except for her beautiful face, how could she roast any sheep?

"She's just a cook, a little cook, how could it be her?" Mao Dasong's gaffe made the little eunuch who read the note gloomy.

"It's written in black and white, does Chef Mao think I'm bending the law for personal gain?"

"I didn't mean that, I mean, she just...... It's just a girl carrying water in the miscellaneous room, how can she participate in such a grand state banquet, she must have made a mistake. Mao Dasong looked around and found that a pair of eyes were looking at him unhappily, and Ping's father-in-law was even more ugly.

At this time, Xue Wanyue stood up and looked at Mao Dasong coldly.

"Put out the names under the roast whole lamb tray, if you still have doubts in your heart, taste it yourself, don't talk nonsense without evidence, this is the palace, you are also carefully selected, how to cook first, this character, there is nothing wrong."

Xue Wanyue was questioning Mao Dasong's character, Mao Dasong knew that he was scared this time, and he was busy explaining that he didn't mean that, but Xue Wanyue was really angry and turned to Ping's father-in-law.

"Father-in-law Ping, how did you choose a senior chef to dare to make a big noise on such an occasion, and take me, the head of Shangshi, in your eyes? If Father-in-law Ping also thinks like this, then this imperial dining room is really lacking in rules, and it is time to train and train. ”

"This ......"

When Father-in-law Ping heard that Li Chunxiang was selected, he was originally very happy, but Mao Dasheng made such a fuss, which made him lose face, and he looked at Mao Dasong with shame.

"You're making such a big fuss, it's really a king's law, and it's ...... someone to come."

Without waiting for Father-in-law Ping to call someone in, Xue Wanyue spoke again.

"Okay, this is not Dali Temple, you should go back and deal with the internal affairs, this roast whole sheep is so ordered, with An Ge as the chef, assisted by Li Chunxiang, prepare for the state banquet in a few days, these roasted whole sheep, can not be wasted, these two delicious ones, clean up some, take them back to everyone, and please also ask the cooks in the imperial dining room to taste, taste, taste, I am also tired these days, so let's stop here, send you out of the palace."

Xue Wanyue directly announced the results

, now even if Mao Dasong breaks the sky, no one pays attention to him.

Sitting there quietly, moving for a long time, as if petrified, everyone walked out in front of her eyes one by one, and An Ge also stood up and handed her Xiao Mufang's gadgets.

"I'm sending you, just leave it if you don't play, think about what I said, come to the inner dining room early tomorrow morning to find me." After speaking, he stuffed Xiao Mufang into his quiet hand, raised his feet and walked out, and the faint medicinal fragrance also drifted away.

An Ge had already walked away, and quietly came back to her senses, she stared blankly at the small wooden square in her hand, it was hard to imagine that she would be able to walk into the imperial dining room tomorrow, and she would become the assistant of the most famous imperial chef in the palace, An Ge, which was something that many chefs dreamed of, but let her succeed easily.
