"The quota has been occupied, and now it is eliminated, it is the same as being eliminated, otherwise you will be allowed to try, now hurry up and go out and prepare, the selection competition is about to begin."

"Okay, I won't disappoint my father-in-law."

Laughed quietly, the bad impression of Ping's father-in-law at first disappeared, no matter whose face this father-in-law was for, she was grateful if she didn't embarrass her.

Hurriedly changed her clothes, quietly limped out of the room, greeted the brilliant morning sun, took a deep breath, exhaled, she clenched her fists, no matter what, this was an opportunity, she must gain a foothold in the palace.

The assessment of the imperial dining room is just a beginning, lift your feet, and quietly walk out, this leg is still very painful, and it is not very convenient to move, and you are still in the imperial dining exam, no feet, otherwise it will be troublesome.

The Imperial Dining Contest was held in a large square outside the palace, which was called the contest on the surface, but in fact it was like a celebration, and the whole imperial dining room was filled with eunuchs of all sizes, and the famous imperial chefs came, and the huge field of red flags fluttered and streamers flew together.

A plaque reads "Kitchen" in large gold letters.

As a result of the competition, one winner, that is, the champion, will be selected, three apprentices, who will be led by the chef in the dining room to become candidates for the future chef, and ten cooks will be left as alternates.

The imperial kitchen in the inner and outer imperial dining rooms is for ten people to act as evaluators, as well as the female officials in the palace, the smell of children's officials, the health female officials, and a few women who are quite fond of delicious food, also came to join in the fun.

Gonggong Chen came as the deputy chief manager, Gonggong Ping came, and even the eunuch Lan Gonggong, the leader of the inner imperial dining room, also came, and everyone sat down according to their positions.

"I chose the good one, and we also want to choose one in the imperial dining room." Lan Gonggong said.

"That's, that's." Father-in-law Ping smiled, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

The inside and outside imperial dining room, although it is called the imperial dining room, but for the different objects of service, the status is different, the same is the leader of the eunuch, Lan Gonggong is a little more arrogant than Pinggong Gonggong, speaking, there is always a feeling of domineering.

Father-in-law Ping has been dissatisfied with this Father-in-law Lan for a long time, but with Father-in-law Chen present, he didn't dare to come out.

"In this imperial dining room, there is also a handyman named Li Chunxiang, which can really make trouble." Lan Gonggong said sarcastically.

Father-in-law Ping frowned, and he didn't say a word, which made Father-in-law Lan even more proud.

The venue of the competition, crowded with people, although orderly, is also overcrowded, and it will be quiet after a few rounds of the competition.

The people who participated in this selection competition, a total of three hundred and fifty people, one hundred and fifty people, have been eliminated in the qualifiers, and those who can enter this place today are the elites of the diet from all over the world, and they are by no means given for nothing, and it is not so easy to win them.

These food elites, both men and women, are not more than ten years old, if they can be elected to the palace, they will have a bright future, and no one will easily let go of this opportunity.

Quietly dragged her legs into the venue, which was not completely good, and was frightened by this scene, she was a little worried, only theory, no practice, can she stand out among so many people.

Is that palace meal really good here? About this, I quietly have no bottom in my heart.

"Sister Chunxiang, come on!"

Outside the venue, the little man and the big man raised their fists, cheered quietly for the quiet, and smiled quietly and embarrassedly, even if she worked hard, she just had such a little ability, a little miscellaneous palace maid, walking here, like a frog at the bottom of the well.

"You say, can Sister Chunxiang win?" The little man craned his neck and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Chunxiang's courage is commendable, as for the strength? Hehe, I might have to go back to sleep early. A water-carrying eunuch laughed.

"What did you say?"

The big man slapped him on the head, and said in a muffled voice, "I think, Sister Chunxiang is invincible and brave, how can she hold on to one round, as for the second round, even if she is eliminated, it is also our mighty Chunxiang knot." ”

Hey, speaking of which, a few eunuchs who carried water didn't have much confidence in her, and thought that she would have to come down in one round, even if she was lucky enough to pass one round, and the second round, no matter what, she couldn't pass it.

It seems that everyone has little hope for this Li Chunxiang, some people are here to see the excitement, one of them is the little Li Gonggong who is sitting next to Ping's father-in-law, last time he was ordered by Ping's father-in-law, and stepped forward to help quietly, but he was quietly pushed out, making him very faceless, at this time, his eyes were wide open, and he secretly calculated in his heart that if Li Chunxiang was eliminated this time and went back to do chores again, he would definitely let this woman not have a good life.

In a corner of the venue, in an inconspicuous place, there was a woman standing, staring at the silence in the venue, she was none other than Ye Yunfang, the personal palace maid beside Zhaoyi Niangniang.

A few days ago, Ye Yunfang heard that she had quietly caused trouble and was beaten on the board, and she was going to go to the imperial dining room to have a look, but she knew Zhaoyi Niangniang's state of mind very well, and she didn't dare to go rashly.

She didn't say a word, she was low-key and quiet, but there was a blazing fire burning in her eyes.

"She can ......"

Ye Yunfang read silently.

Recently, Concubine Li's stomach has not moved, Chaoyi Niangniang has been in a panic all day long, and has asked several times if this aromatherapy thing is true, obviously, Aunt Zhao Niangniang began to suspect quietly.

A round of assessments

Ye Yunfang didn't dare to mention the name Xiao Qiao in front of Zhaoyi Niangniang, for fear that it would arouse the hatred in Niangniang's heart, and killed Xiao Qiao in a fit of anger, so she let her stay quietly in the imperial dining room and never went to see it once.

Although Mingzhu asked Ye Yunfang in private several times to let Xiao Qiao come back, Ye Yunfang refused on the grounds that she was busy and had no time, Mingzhu was simple-minded, and there were some things that she couldn't talk to Mingzhu directly, so as not to spoil the big thing.

At this moment, Ye Yunfang really hoped to win this game quietly, at least she didn't have to rely on Zhaoyi Niangniang, and she could gain a firm foothold in the palace.

In the venue, it gradually quieted down, and a eunuch with a document in his hand walked up to the contestants and said loudly.

"The personnel of the competition, please be in place, check whether the kitchen utensils in front of you are readily available, if there is a problem, please speak up in time, once the competition starts, you can no longer make any more requests."

When the eunuch announced that it was over, the three hundred and fifty people all stood in front of their platforms, nervously checking the kitchen utensils and making a clanging sound.

Some of the contestants who had never seen this kind of occasion kept shaking their legs, their hands cramping, sweating, and those who were afraid that they would be eliminated early, kept clasping their hands and praying.

Quietly stepped forward and checked carefully, everything that should be there was there, she raised her head and glanced to the side with the corner of her eye, the place separated by the three people was Lan Hui, she looked red, she should be confident, right?

At this time, Lan Hui also looked over and smiled coldly at the quiet, with a little contempt.

"The selection begins, a topic, smell!"

Soon, a link began, and it turned out to be sniffing with your nose?

Quietly trembled in her heart, isn't this what the old chef said in the book she gave her? The essence of the imperial kitchen, and the prerequisite, is the nose, eyes, ears and mouth, to see if the person is suitable to become a qualified imperial chef.

I didn't expect this assessment, one is this content.

The eunuch's voice was heard again in a loud voice.

"Open a jar in front of you, smell the spices inside, say the name, several layers, and then write it on a paper silk, take a step back, and wait for inspection!"

After reading the rules, the little eunuch cleaned up and signaled that everyone could start.

Quietly and quickly opened a small white porcelain jar on the case, it was indeed a seasoning, and it was a mixed seasoning, which was indeed a bit difficult.

Just when he quietly leaned down, and before he could smell it, he heard a jingle next to him, and a man with trembling hands actually knocked over the jar on his table, which was filled with aged star anise, angelica and ginger powder, and the taste was extremely strong, and it hit his nose quietly.

Damn, I frowned quietly, smelled the smell, the most taboo thing is to be confused by other smells, I was unlucky enough today, and I was next to such a guy who couldn't water.

The guy hit the can, and was so nervous that he knelt on the ground to clean it up, making the smell even stronger, and choking on the idea of sneezing.

"Ninety, Lian Sheng, knock over the jar, come out!"

With a low cry, the man named Lian Sheng burst into tears, but the jar hit, his chance was gone, so he could only turn around and walk outside the venue, sobbing sadly as he walked, he had prepared for today for a long time, and after countless twists and turns, but in this trembling, his future was ruined.

Before it started, one was left, which made the atmosphere of the game even more tense.

Quietly not daring to slack off, she held her breath, released it again, looked at the contents of her jar, calmed down, abandoned the influence of the octagonal on the ground, she sniffed, then picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

"Sichuan peppercorns, two parts of cinnamon and two parts of samanai, grind into noodles."

When she finished writing, she took a step back and avoided it, and not far away, Lan Hui's eyes were rolling around, and the tips of her fingers pried open the bottom of the jar, revealing a white piece of paper, which seemed to have something written on it.

Quietly shocked, is it any wonder that this woman is so confident that someone cheats for her?

If it was according to the quietly past temperament, she would definitely not hesitate to find out this woman and point out the fact that she cheated and deceived her, but now, she was silent and closed her eyes, firstly, this is the assessment venue, and the contestants are not allowed to make noise, and secondly, Lan Hui dares to be so presumptuous, it must have been secretly arranged by someone, this person is definitely not an ordinary identity, but a person who is close to Concubine Jinhui, she can't be strong at this time and be stared at to death.

Lan Hui also wrote according to the answer and took a step back.

Soon the time was up, and dozens of little eunuchs came up and looked at the papers in front of the contestants in turn.

At this time, if it is false to say that she is not nervous, she doesn't know if her judgment is right, because of the influence of the star anise, she can't tell whether the cinnamon is a part or not.

Just as she was gasping for breath and nervousness, the voice rang out again.

"No. 4, Zhang Jiao's retirement, No. 13, Liu Yun'er's retirement, No. 15, Wu Ergou's retreat ......" The sound of retreating sentence by sentence was really thrilling, and soon, at least dozens of people turned around and left.

When she read the number eighty-eight, she was quietly nervous and about to suffocate, because she herself was number eighty-nine.

The word "retreat" came out, No. 88 shook his head, retreated, and then more than 100, quietly staring at No. 89 on her platform, she actually passed.

In other words, there are a lot of eliminations in a round, not that they are not skilled in learning and cooking skills, but after the seasoning is ground into powder, the average chef can only smell what, but it is difficult to distinguish the amount of seasoning in it, which is the reason why most of the seasoning will be eliminated in a round.

The Imperial Meal Contest is very strict, and the palace wants the best of the best.

In an instant, there were fewer people in front of the prince, Lan Hui and Quietly didn't have to look at each other, and the two people between them retreated.

Lan Hui pursed her lips and glanced over, the contemptuous look just now was gone, replaced by doubt, she really couldn't figure it out, how did Li Chunxiang, a little girl, do it? It was surprising to be able to smell the ingredients and dosage of the seasoning powder.

Lan Hui also smelled the jar in front of her just now, and she could only smell two of the three ingredients, as for the dosage, she had no concept at all, but Li Chunxiang did it.

Lan Hui looked at the quiet steadily, and looked at the past with a smile, she also smiled indifferently, with a hint of contempt in her smile, if it wasn't for someone to cheat for her, Lan Hui might have to quit this round, although she was still standing in front of the platform, but in her quiet heart, she had been defeated.

"Sister Chunxiang won the first round."

The big guy opened his mouth wide.

Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation

Li Chunxiang actually won a round, this is really a surprising thing, the ratio of seasonings, distinction, powder mixing, if you don't have the experience of ordering meals, how can you smell it? This round of assessment is really difficult, a large number of people have already retreated, but Li Chunxiang is still standing in front of the stage?

It's a miracle that no one can believe.

But how did they know the fact that the woman standing in front of the stage was not the cowardly and humble Li Chunxiang at all, but the daughter of the perfumer Chu Jing'an, who was quiet, what she was best at was spices, spices and food were inseparable, so these spices were also part of the fragrance, how could they not be distinguished?

But this secret can only be known quietly by oneself, where is it clear to others? Naturally, I was surprised, and even a little incomprehensible, this girl was born in water.

Ping's father-in-law's face was quite complicated, he thought that Li Chunxiang would definitely be eliminated in the first round, but he never expected that she would enter the next round.

"Father-in-law, Li Chunxiang has passed a round." A little eunuch reminded Father-in-law Ping in a low voice, but when his father-in-law came, he confessed, and asked him to send Li Chunxiang back after a round of competition, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.
