Mao's wish did come true, and he managed to get the attention of all the imperial chefs.

When the folk innovative dishes are presented on the table, the imperial chefs, who are accustomed to seeing delicacies from the mountains and seas and delicacies, have only one sentence for most of the dishes, "barely palatable". In addition to Meng Hui and the sushi girl who were highly praised, only Mao Buba made them have the heart to say a few more words.

However, the words of the three imperial chefs are very ambiguous, which is very different from the expectations in Mao Buba's heart.

"It tastes good, but it stinks."

"Hmm, it's hard to say, it's hard to say."

"It's a new approach."

When Mao Buba heard these three comments that were not compliments, he wanted to jump up and scold them for having no vision, he anxiously glanced at his father-in-law who was leading the way, and when he heard his father-in-law clear his throat and was about to speak, he retracted his gaze with confidence.

"I think this 'Liufang Baishi' is not bad, the name is festive, the presentation is good, since a few people think it is good to eat, then present it to the Queen Mother and the palace masters to taste."

After the father-in-law finished speaking, the three imperial chefs naturally nodded again and again.

Meng Hui raised his eyes to look at Mao Buba with his head down, and when he saw that he was secretly proud, he knew that this father-in-law must be the key person he had found before, and most of the money from selling fake crab meat buns had flowed into this person's pocket.

"If you get the brand, hurry up and redo it! Make it for me, this is for the nobles to eat, and it's not as simple as being ashamed to do it badly! The father-in-law gave a few fierce orders, and asked the four civil referees to quickly take the eliminated ones out of the palace.

The ten people left behind soon started a new round of production, and no one dared to take it lightly, because they were too nervous, two contestants fainted directly and fell unconscious, and were carried out of the imperial dining room and sent out of the palace.

Meng Hui filtered the soy milk and egg liquid unhurriedly, and her mind paid attention to the father-in-law walking to Mao Buba's side, and the two muttered a few words almost silently, but she still heard them clearly.

"The Queen Mother has been listening to folk chores recently, if you say it well, her old man will give you justice."

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice! When I got out of the palace, I invited my father-in-law to the cold house! ”

The father-in-law snorted from his nose in response, and his expression was quite satisfied with Mao Buba's acquaintance, and when he paced away, Mao Buba opened the altar lid with joy and began to clean the stinky fish.

Before noon, all ten innovative dishes were ready, covered by lids made of pure gold, and the beautiful maids walked towards the queen mother's palace.

Meng Hui and his entourage of eight people hung their heads and followed behind, and came to the outside of the hall where the Queen Mother was located and kowtowed, not even seeing whether the table inside was long or square, and they didn't know how many people were sitting inside, and whether each dish was enough to eat.

Standing in the sweltering outer hall and waiting for half an hour, someone pushed open the door of the hall and came out and called: "Follow me in, who are 'full of flowers', 'Yanran from all over the world', and 'Flowing for a hundred years'." ”

Mao Buba's eyes lit up because of excitement, and he stepped forward and nodded to his father-in-law, the sushi girl looked disdainful, but her face was also smiling. Meng Hui is also looking forward to it, but what she is looking forward to is not commenting on the dishes, but looking forward to Mao Buba's search for the Queen Mother to "avenge her grievances".

Entering the inner hall, Meng Hui saw the Queen Mother sitting above, five mothers on the left, and five princesses on the right. Inside, the windows were wide open, apparently to dissipate the smell of stinky mandarin fish.

"Which one is the one who will be famous for a hundred years?"

Mao Buba and the sushi girl didn't expect that the first thing the Queen Mother asked was stinky mandarin fish!

Mao Buba's voice trembled with excitement, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted: "Back to the Queen Mother, I did it!" ”

"Poof—"

"Hahaha-"

"No wonder it stinks! It turned out to be an ugly man! ”

"It's so bad you can figure it out, it's trying to disgust us!"

Hearing the ridicule of the ladies and princesses of the palace, Mao Bu was covered in a cold sweat, he wanted to see what the expressions of the imperial concubine and the queen mother who didn't speak were, but his head was too heavy and he couldn't lift it up.

"Alright, you go down." The father-in-law next to the Queen Mother quickly understood, and stood up to drive him away, and the nobles present just wanted to see who could make such a dish, not really to comment.

Mao Buba's brain was hot, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted injustice: "Queen Mother, I don't make this dish all for the competition, but because I have grievances in my heart!" ”

The Queen Mother was interested, waved her hand to let Meng Hui and the sushi girl stand aside, and asked matter-of-factly, "Huh?" If there is any grievance, you can tell me and I will hear it. ”

Mao Bupluck himself didn't know where to get a sense of courage, so he quickly adjusted his expression and spoke bitterly.

"I am an honest businessman, conscientiously guarding the restaurant handed down by my ancestors, but because of a little business matter, Tianxianglou Wang Dongjia actually sent someone to burn down the store! I also wiped out the former master in my shop! ”

When the Queen Mother heard that there was still a murder, her eyes lit up. "Tianxianglou, I know, their ancestors worked as imperial chefs in the palace, right?" She saw that her father-in-law next to her nodded, and then said, "This Tianxianglou is the best restaurant in the capital, right?" Why do you suppress you because of business, or arson and murder? ”

Mao Buba wiped a handful of tears and said bitterly: "Because the master who was killed is a woman." Two years ago, I found out that she was a woman disguised as a man, but I took pity on her difficult life and quietly let her go at the risk of not reporting to the official. But who knew that in order to repay her kindness, she actually took the initiative to invest in Tianxianglou to steal teachers and learn art for me! ”

"She knows that I have always hated this kind of thing the most, because I only contact the new master, and I don't know about it at all! Later, I learned that she had been secretly studying for two years, and she had learned all the three good dishes of Tianxianglou! Although she was trying to repay my kindness, after all, she was stealing chickens and touching dogs, and she was finally caught by the master of Tianxianglou! ”

Mao Buba's face was full of regret, and he said with tears: "But I never expected that Tianxianglou would send someone to take her life because of the three dishes, and also set fire to the family business handed down by my ancestors!" The Queen Mother! Tianxianglou is too powerful in the capital, and I don't dare to report to the official at all, so I came up with this kind of stupid trick to attract the attention of my mother! ”

The Queen Mother was extremely surprised when she heard this, and asked in a loud voice: "Then have you buried that woman?" You keep saying that the people from Tianxianglou did it, what evidence do you have? ”

Mao Buba's face is thicker than the city wall, and he cried and nodded: "Naturally, it is a thick burial, and I am looking for a place with excellent feng shui!" It is precisely because of the evidence in his hand that he dares to come to the Queen Mother to avenge her grievances! ”

When he was about to reach out and pull it into his arms, Meng Hui's mind flicked his arm numb, and the movement immediately stopped. Taking advantage of this gap, she stepped forward and saluted, and said clearly: "The people's daughter also has grievances, and it is the Mao Dongjia next to her who kills people and distorts the facts. ”
