Hearing this, Chen Youyi's heart relaxed a little, and after a while, the carriage began to move forward slowly, this time it was faster, much faster than just now, and Chen Youyi felt the cool breeze in the early morning again.

After arriving at them, the people in the yamen stopped them directly, "All the people in the car come down, take down all the things you brought in the car, put them on this wooden board, check them one by one, and then go in." ”

With a hint of impatience, the official who spoke held the long knife at his waist in one hand, and danced back and forth at the few people in front of him with the other, and did not look at them squarely, as if he were dealing with an errand, and muttered a lot of things that should be said.

Chen Youyi slowly got out of the car and only listened to one ear.

Mo Xincheng acted very neatly, and took his two subordinates to move those things one by one to the place they asked to put them, and those people began to check back and forth.

One of them, led by the suppression, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Youyi during the inspection, "You ingredients are not right!" ”

Saying this, Mo Xincheng frowned, a little surprised, "What's wrong?" If there's something wrong, just say it. Mo Xincheng spoke politely to these officials, because he knew very well in his heart that the king of Hades was so troublesome that these people would inevitably bribe with silver.

As he was talking, he took out a piece of silver from himself, which had been prepared a long time ago, and secretly handed it over to the officer, originally thinking that this matter would easily pass, but who knew that the depression pushed his shadow away, and smiled, "We don't have this set here, your things don't meet the regulations, take them all!" ”

"All?" Mo Xincheng was even more surprised, "Then can you tell us why it doesn't meet the regulations?" We can take something, something that complies with the regulations. ”

"Where is so much nonsense, saying that these things can't be brought in, you can't bring them in, are you trying to find trouble here?" The official seemed even more impatient, and at this time, the convoy waiting behind him had already begun to shout and urge, and many convoys sent people here to understand the situation, so there were a lot of people here, people from all walks of life.

"We passed from the first round, so if there is any problem, you have to tell us, and I have seen that there are a lot of things in the front team that are exactly the same as ours, so why can they pass but we can't?" Mo Xincheng has already realized that these people are purely looking for trouble, just to find fault with themselves.

Because there are many people around who are watching the excitement, and they are all here to participate in the competition, and the ingredients are all the same, the official is embarrassed to directly say what is wrong, so as not to affect the team behind at that time.

So he pointed to the small peppers placed next to him, this ingredient is rare, and this official has never seen anything that he doesn't know, "What is this?" I've never seen it before, can I eat this thing? ”

Mo Xincheng took a deep breath, knowing that they were deliberately finding fault, but he couldn't lose his temper, and said in a low voice, "This is chili, an ingredient, there are more in southern cities, and we have less here, which can be regarded as a special ingredient in our special dishes!" ”

This kind of explanation is clear enough, how could my brother expect that the official didn't take it seriously at all, "No, this thing can't be brought in!" ”

"But our dishes are special dishes, and we can't make them without this thing, and these dishes are normal ingredients, which can be bought in some big markets, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it!"

Who knows, the man held a stick in his hand, directly picked up the pepper and threw it to the ground, "How can Lao Tzu have time to go to the market to check these things with you?" I told you, this can't be brought in, you can't bring it in, throw this thing away, otherwise, we will confiscate it, don't affect the people behind. ”

Mo Xincheng didn't have a problem for a while, if he forcibly brought the chili pepper in, he was afraid that he would cause more trouble, but if he didn't bring it in, what would he do with his own special dishes? If there is no chili pepper, is it still called a chili dish?

He still wanted to argue a few words, but was stopped by Chen Youyi, who walked up to the side, "Forget it, leave the chili pepper here!" Then he looked at the officer, "You may not know, this thing is the ingredients, I gave you this packet of chili peppers, you can taste it when you go back." ”

The official just rolled his eyes coldly, waved his hand with a look of disgust, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't affect the team behind!" ”

In this way, Chen Youyi put the bag of chili peppers down here, and finally brought people and other ingredients to the competition site.

The order here is better, the carriages are lined up one by one in the order of first come, first served, and it is not yet time for the competition, so those who participated, some went to deal with things, some went to find people, and some went to arrange, only Chen Youyi and his own people stood around the carriage stupidly.

"What can I do? How do we make chili dishes without chili peppers? One of the cooks was more anxious, clapping his hands and complaining, "Is the official targeting us?" Although this chili dish is not a famous dish of several cuisines, at least, it is also available in the capital, so lonely and unheard! ”

Mo Xincheng was silent for a long time, and only then did he speak, "I think, those people should not be lonely and unheard, but deliberately making things difficult for us, the carriage in front of us is going very smoothly, you came to us to pick up trouble, there should be someone, it has been arranged behind the scenes." ”

Chen Youyi listened to these words, and secretly agreed in her heart, she also thought so, someone must have done something behind her back to let the depression do this to them, and the most important ingredients were withheld.

"Don't complain, fortunately, there is still some time, I'll think of a way to see if I can get some chili peppers, you wait patiently here!" Chen Youyi said a word, and then called Mo Xincheng over, "You come with me!" ”

After that, he left here and went straight to the examiner, and after getting there, he bribed a little guard, inquired, and made sure that Xu Linfeng was also here, Chen Youyi didn't bother that person to go in, and after saying yes, he stuffed some silver into him.

Soon contacted Xu Linfeng, and he also came to see him, "Madam, why did you come here at this time?" The second round is about to begin. ”

Chen Youyi didn't care to explain much, and said bluntly, "We have encountered some difficulties and need your help." Xu Linfeng's face sank with these words.
