After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 268 Royal Chef Competition
But at this moment, Xu Mengxiao suddenly remembered something that Uncle Zhang had mentioned to her a long time ago.

Master Leng Quan Yan Leng, a famous Jiangnan chef, was very good at cooking Jiangnan dishes. He was a ruthless man and didn't talk much. Not only was he sought after by countless diners, he also refused the invitation from the person above to go to the imperial dining room, which made him even more famous.

Thinking like this, Xu Mengxiao asked unconsciously.

"Master Leng!" Lin Gui and Lin Cai said in unison. The former knew his reputation and had admired him for a long time.

The latter said: "Master Leng will definitely participate in this imperial chef competition, and he is probably the toughest opponent to defeat. You know, that person has never forgotten his craftsmanship. Boss Zhang also said that he is probably aiming at He came."

"Really?" Xu Mengxiao felt something was wrong.

"Since Master Leng rejected that person before, he will definitely not participate again. Unless he feels that he will not win, otherwise he will seek death if he refuses again after winning the reward?"

"This..." Lin Cai and the others had never thought about this. After listening to Xu Mengxiao's analysis, they only felt that there must be such extremely smart people.

"Then he lost on purpose?"

"It's impossible. Just by listening, I knew what a arrogant and fearless guy he was."

They were wary of this competitor before, but now, the two brothers became worried, "I hope he won't participate, otherwise if he is angered, the world will lose a top chef."

Food is the most important thing for the people. This dynasty attaches great importance to eating and drinking. From the royal nobles to the common people, there is no one who does not yearn for delicious food.

Of course, it is human instinct, but the atmosphere formed can be seen to be very different, otherwise the current Holy Emperor would not personally organize this royal chef competition.

For Xu Mengxiao, it is naturally a great thing. This is a great opportunity for Taoyuan Township.

"Have you ever considered that there is another possibility?"

"What?" The two came to their senses and couldn't help but regard her as their backbone.

"As for why His Majesty wants to supervise this competition today, is his imperial kitchen really short of people? Why doesn't he just take him away if he wants Master Leng, but hold the competition with great fanfare? Isn't he afraid that Master Leng will be exposed in public again? Refuse once and lose face?"

It was originally just a game and an important opportunity. After Xu Mengxiao's analysis, Lin Cai instantly realized many problems.

He lowered his voice and said, "Is it possible that His Majesty feels that he has been rejected by Master Leng and has lost face, so he wants to find someone who can defeat him through this competition and then humiliate him severely?"

"That's pretty much what it means." Xu Mengxiao pondered for a moment.

Lin Cai suddenly felt happy, "So, don't we have a high chance of winning, if the person judging is the one above."

Lin Gui was not happy at all, "Cousin, what's the point of winning like this? I want Taoyuan Township to be fair and just, win with strength, and even if I lose, I will lose with integrity!"

"Good apprentice!" Xu Mengxiao couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder. Lin Cai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It was me who got caught."

"Just because we won, it doesn't mean that we didn't win with real skills. Maybe we are better than that Master Leng. Furthermore, we don't know for sure what he can do. If you want to see It depends on the level of other people.”

"No matter what, it seems that the purpose is not pure. Because of one rejection, I have been grudged for a year. This is what we should be worried about. That person seems to be extremely narrow-minded and vindictive!"

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers were so frightened that they wanted to rush over and cover her mouth, "Walls have ears, be careful that trouble comes from the mouth, which may lead to death."

"That person's ears and eyes are scattered everywhere, who knows..." Lin Gui shuddered.Only then did Xu Mengxiao know that there was this. Although many emperors throughout history were very dictatorial, arranging their own eyes and ears among the people, and killing all remarks that were not beneficial to them, he had experienced it personally.

"That's not a good sign."

"Shhhhhh!" Lin Gui didn't dare to talk to her anymore. How could his master be so bold?Don't die!
"Ha." Xu Mengxiao shook his head. What he didn't say was that such a monarch would bring so much trouble that even a cook couldn't tolerate it. Xu Mengxiao's sense of crisis became stronger again.

This world may not be peaceful for long, not to mention that there is such a leftist prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people...

"Let's talk about something else." Lin Cai quickly changed the subject.

"So Lao Zhang wants to get this thing done first. After the competition is over, no matter whether he loses or wins, he can gain some fame. After finishing this matter, it will be logical for us to open a branch restaurant in Jiangnan, and we can still get some benefits. Some light.”

Xu Mengxiao agrees with this point. The top priority is to train chefs who can compete. "What is the specific situation?"

They probably asked a lot.

As expected, Lin Cai said that they spent a lot of money to get the news.

"If it's correct, many famous restaurants will participate, and for restaurants to participate, up to three people can participate at the same time."

"You can also participate in your own name, so you can only represent yourself."

"So many people?" Xu Mengxiao said after finishing speaking, "There should be auditions, preliminary rounds or something?"

Lin Cai didn't understand what an audition was, but he roughly understood the meaning. "Those who can get in front of that person must be famous chefs from various places. Generally, such famous chefs can skip some competitions and directly advance to the next level." Choose to participate in later competitions. For example, one of the chefs in Yipinju will have such qualifications."

really.

"As for other ordinary cooks, they have to participate in local competitions first. Counting the time, it's almost time to start."

"Each place will bring out the most outstanding chef, and if they finally win the competition, local officials will also be rewarded."

Xu Mengxiao asked the last question, "Is it based on Fucheng?"

"That's pretty much it. We won't know the specific situation until then, but the game is definitely over."

Xu Mengxiao clapped his hands, "Then what are you waiting for? Get it together quickly. This matter is more important. Let's not open a branch for now. Let's finish this matter."

What's more, Zihan was going to take the county examination in early April, so he had time to spare, and Xu Mengxiao was able to accompany him so he wouldn't miss this important event.

"Lin Gui, as the most important candidate, I will teach you some more things to at least ensure that you get a good ranking."

Lin Gui's eyes lit up.

However, Xu Mengxiao has a lot of things going on recently. In addition to Boss Chen's troubles that need to be solved urgently, Master Xu's problems also need to be solved.

Fortunately, she has not neglected her teachings to Lin Gui for more than half a year. By now, his cooking skills should be quite good.
