Chapter 293: Killing with a Knife
Mu Bangshang and the selected fifty people entered the palace built by the palace specially for the selection of cooks.
The 50 stoves are as clean as new, and special servants come to clean them every day, and on both sides of the stoves are all kinds of fresh ingredients and seasonings, and there is no shortage of precious curiosities.
There are two regular season games in the rematch, the first game will have more than half of the chefs will be screened, and the remaining 20 people will have to compete again, and finally the remaining ten will be able to participate in the third day of the competition, and only three chefs will be left in the 100-day selection.
Although it was a competition of cooking skills, there were many culinary masters from mainland countries, which made Mu Bangshang feel pressured.
The semi-finals have not yet begun, and they can already feel the solemn atmosphere between everyone, Mu Bangshang can only enter and exit the palace of the king through the selection of the cook, and can see Qibao, he has not seen the child for a long time, and he misses it very much.
Yu Zongyuan saw that Mu Bangshang was nervous, and smiled gently: "Yan'er! ”
Just smiled at her, Mu Wanshang took a deep breath, she was not afraid of anything for the sake of the child.
Mu Bangsheng's eyes flashed at the corner of her eyes and saw that Tai Shiyun was not far from her, completely arranged according to the serial number of the first attempt.
She wore her hair into braids, covered her ear piercings, dressed as a barbarian, and took great pains to avoid the audition.
Ge Shuxin once sent her holy water, saved her life, and once helped her out of the siege, although the impression is not bad, I have always felt that Ge Shuxin is debauched, for women, marrying such a man, the heart will be like duckweed floating in the water, never able to catch the ground, neither solid nor stable.
"The King has arrived!" The butler's voice came from outside the hall.
The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on the handsome and beautiful black figure, but Mu Bangshang was staring at the child in Ge Shuxuan's arms, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
What Ge Shuyu was holding in his arms was the son who thought about her day and night, Yu Zongyuan saw her lose his mind, touched her plain wrist, and reminded her not to reveal her identity.
Mu Bangshang tried to calm down the thoughts in her heart, if she openly showed her identity to pick up the child, with the friendship between King Xuan and Xuanyuan, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the captivity, she didn't know that Xuanyuan was extremely defeated by his mother and son, and soon she would marry the princess Ruan Shengnan as the queen of Dayin.
Mu Wanshang was thinking about taking the child out of the palace before Xuanyuan sent someone to arrest him.
She didn't know the relationship between Ge Shuxuan and Xuanyuan Gangji, and she didn't know that Ge Shuxuan would beat her idea, and she couldn't wait to hide the news, how could she let Xuanyuan know that she was being rude.
The heat in Mu Wanshang's eyes gradually faded, and she had to compete hard so that she could stay in the palace and take the child out.
Ge Shuyu sat in a high position with Qibao, flanked by the beautiful scenery and the four daughters of the wind and snow, but it was the nickname of the prince who did not disgrace him.
The butler stepped forward and looked at everyone: "You are all cooks who participated in the preliminary examination. The rules and process of the competition, presumably everyone understands it clearly, so I won't go into details, and now there is a prince to come up with the question. ”
Ge Shuxin didn't seem to care about those cooks at all, just coaxed Xiao Qi on the side, leisurely peeling the fruit for the child, Xiao Qi enjoyed his father's love as a matter of course, and the father and son were happy.
When Ge Shuxuan heard the butler's words, he looked at Liangchen, "Go!" ”
Liangchen stepped forward and looked at the many cooks, and it was already a common thing that people would come in and leave every month. I've never seen the owner use the names of the two of them as a title.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have to go through an individual competition first, and the draw will determine what you want to cook. The remaining twenty people are eligible to carry out the mention given by the prince. I am the maidservant next to the prince, named Liangchen, and a younger sister named Meijing, this first question is also based on my sister and my name, Liangchen Meijing as the topic. ”
There were sighs from the audience, and some people teased, "The prince is so elegant!" ”
Liangchen didn't care, and continued: "You have also seen the two maids over there who are also the prince's maidservants, Fenghua and Xueyue, this second question is Fenghua Xueyue, only ten of you are qualified to participate, as for the requirements of the second question, you will naturally know when you pass the test." ”
This time the competition is more rigorous than before, and the original 10 people who participated in tomorrow's final have finally become 5 people.
"Why did you change the format?" Someone in the crowd objected.
"If you really have the ability, you won't be afraid. Rest assured that whether you can stay or not depends on your true skills, and the lottery and selection of materials are only a piece of effort. ”
Liangchen had already taken out the fire fold and lit incense about the thickness of his thumb and about a foot long, about half an hour. Everyone can't wait to draw lots to choose the ingredients.
The competition is based on the head rather than the group, Mu Bangshang and Yu Zongyuan are separated, and Mu Bangshang drew the words "cutting grass and roots". And Yu Zongyuan drew a thousand words.
Yu Zongyuan's first thought was a duck tongue, "Yan'er, it's a duck tongue." As the saying goes, a woman is equal to a hundred ducks. ”
Mu Bangshang is still thinking about what it is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? Yu Zongyuan's words reminded her.
"Brother Yu, it's not a duck tongue, it's a fish lip. Go grab the ingredients. ”
Mu Bangshang took lamb tongue as the main ingredient among many ingredients. Tai Shiyun's luck is also good, the four words she drew are the pearls of her palms, which are abalone.
Dozens of people in the audience waved the spoons in their hands one after another, Mu Bangshang knew that Yu Zongyuan's arm was injured, but fortunately, the ingredients he wanted to make were good fish lips, so there was no need to waste knife work, and the condiment Mu Bangshang had also been prepared, and the steps had been informed, and she was preparing to make fried lamb tongue.
Qibao was a little impatient, and looked at the people in the audience cooking, "Father, Xiao Qi doesn't want to stay here." ”
After all, he is a three-year-old child and is uncertain, "Xiao Qi, after a while, they will make food, you can eat whatever you want, why don't you do your father a favor?" ”
Xiao Qi immediately became interested, "What does my father want Xiao Qi to do?" ”
A stick of incense ended quickly, and Liangchen ordered everyone to stop. Ge Shu ordered the four maidservants who were close to the guards, Se Xiang to judge, leaving thirty to remove twenty, if Mu Bang Sheng couldn't even look down on the food they cooked, then he wouldn't be able to impress himself.
Mu Bangshang successfully passed Liangchen's test, and Yu Zongyuan was indeed much more dangerous.
Before Xue Yue came to Tai Shi Yun, how did she see that this black-faced kid covered half of his face, which was somewhat familiar, but the abalone she cooked was still more in line with the requirements in terms of form.
Soon only thirty of the fifty men remained, and four servants returned to Goshu's back at the same time.
The housekeeper stepped forward and ordered the people who stayed to show the topics and dishes in their hands one by one before they could stay.
The housekeeper looked at a middle-aged man on a plate of crab roe tofu, and what he drew was "a mess", and this crab roe tofu was also appropriate.
Looking at the fried lamb tongue in front of Mu Bangsheng, it was very interesting, "Chop the grass and remove the roots, why is it a lamb tongue, it can be a vegetarian dish." ”
Mu Wanshang said respectfully: "As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and the root of this curse is the tongue. ”
This idea is still very interesting, and it takes some thought.
The housekeeper looked at Yu Zongyuan again, his thousand words, it was braised fish lips that were also appropriate, what shocked the housekeeper was Tai Shiyun, so blue and white, look carefully at the facial features, and then remember who it is?
"The pearl of the palm!"
"Yes!"
The housekeeper frowned, Tai Shiyun was very worried in his heart, if he was recognized, he would be eliminated directly.
"Steamed abalone, the color is bright, like a pearl in the palm, which is very appropriate to the topic." Mu Bangshang relieved the siege from the side.
The housekeeper didn't care whether this person was Tai Shiyun or not, and wanted to eliminate this person, but he was stopped by Mu Wansheng's nosy.
There was some hesitation in his eyes, and Ge Shuxin saw the field, "Butler, you can pass the test if you are in good shape." "Ge Shuyun's sentence is that Tai Shiyun has passed the test.
The long table was full of delicacies, and Ge Shuxuan looked at Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, you're hungry too!" Just go and choose what you like to eat. ”
All people's hearts were hanging in their throats, and let a little doll decide whether they would go or stay, "Lord Wang, it's too child's play, how can you let a little child decide." ”
Ge Shuyun looked at the cook, "He is the son of this king, and he is half the master of the palace, of course he has the right." ”
Everyone was quiet, and no one dared to stand up and theorize.
Ge Shusheng was very satisfied with the answer given by Mu Bangsheng, and he found that Qibao was not only smart, but also had a good memory, and he could remember everything he had told him.
At the time of everyone's introduction, Ge Shuyu had already ordered Qibao to write it down, and told him that those dishes could be passed.
The child's intervention can increase the interest and uncertain factors, and he can also use the knife to kill people and eliminate Yu Zongyuan, and there is no complaint, after all, it is Qibao who eliminated him.
Qibao only chose a few favorite foods, but there was Mu Bangshang's fried lamb tongue inside, which made Mu Bangshang finally feel at ease.
Shippo tasted the steamed abalone, which is the least likely to go wrong. Authentic and will be delicious. Tai Shi Yun's eyes almost prayed.
There is no braised fish lip in the food selected by Qibao, when explaining in the audience, Ge Shuyu has clearly told him that he doesn't like that fish lip, the production process is very terrifying, Qibao naturally dislikes it, frowned, and directly spared it, which means that Yu Zongyuan was eliminated.
Mu Bangsheng's heart was even more mixed, the person who eliminated Yu Zongyuan was not King Yu, but his son.
Yu Zongyuan saw that Mu Wansheng's eyes were lost, his shoulder was injured, and he couldn't stay to help her, and he was eliminated by Qibao without complaining.
Yu Zongyuan comforted from the side: "Yan'er, don't be sad. The next game is up to you. ”
Qibao decided everyone's fate and returned to Ge Shuxuan's arms, "Father, Xiao Qi's choice is satisfactory to his father." ”
Ge Shuxin touched the child's head dotingly to show encouragement, "Well done!" ”
Liangchen stepped forward again, "The dishes selected by the little prince will be shortlisted for the official competition, the first question of the competition is already known, it is the four words of Liangchen beauty, I believe everyone already knows what to do in their hearts?" ”
He took the fire fold again and lit a slightly longer fragrance, "The rematch begins, it will last for an hour!" ”
