After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 314 The target of public criticism
Emperor Daxing sat up a little straighter, but not too much.

Chu Hengyi didn’t have much expectations for the cooking competition with so many people at the beginning, “Let the people below try and comment on the food first, send me the ones they think are most satisfactory, and then let the people behind to speed up! "

"Yes!"

The cooks below heard that they had to speed up, especially those who were assigned to the second, third, and fourth batches who had not yet had their turn to do the work, suddenly panicked.

Lin Gui and Zhang Bin were placed in the second batch according to the drawing of lots.

Hearing this, the three chefs at Yipinju couldn't help but look at the others with some joy and pride.

As the first batch of people to cook, they had the most time. The ingredients were not delayed for too long and were fresh enough.

The most important thing is that they are almost at the table of Emperor Daxing now. I believe that their Yipinju will definitely leave a deep impression on His Majesty!
The dish Yipinju cooked today was what they had planned to cook in the second game.

But because they were assigned to the first batch, they realized that this first impression must be amazing and special!

Therefore, he waited for the officials, father-in-law, courtiers and others to deliver the dishes they were satisfied with and finally selected to Emperor Daxing.

What he saw at first sight was the "Crab Gold Wrapped Jade Ball" with the "Yipinju" brand on it.

A dish of ten "golden elixirs" placed on a turtle shell looks so ordinary yet so eye-catching.

Golden elixir, does it make you immortal, or does it make you stronger as you age?Chu Heng became interested.

Soon, Gong Yue, the boss of Yipinju, who was sitting next to Xu Mengxiao and the others, was called over by a father-in-law.

The crowd suddenly started talking in confusion.

Half a quarter of an hour later, when Gong Yue came back, he saw a proud look on his face. He tried his best to modestly say: "Your Majesty asked me to explain the dishes we made today at Yipinju. I believe it will be your turn soon. Please go in advance." Get ready!”

"Thank you Brother Gong for your kind reminder! Otherwise, I might not be able to say anything when I get in front of His Majesty."

"Oh, I haven't prepared anything yet. I thought it was enough for the cook to know this. I am a businessman, how can I know how to cook?"

Therefore, they were even more grateful to Gong Yue. If he hadn't said it generously, they would have been ignorant of the matter and had collided with His Majesty. That would have been the end!

But Xu Mengxiao saw that this old guy was pretending to be friendly, but in fact he was showing off hypocritically, and he could still gain favor from some people.

No, some people have a good impression of him and really think he is a good person, haha!

At this time, Gong Yue seemed to suddenly notice her, "Xu Sandong's family should also prepare their words as soon as possible. His Majesty asked a lot of questions, even how our Yipinju was established and developed. Chu, otherwise I wouldn’t have been there for so long.”

"Hiss, Your Majesty even asked this?!"

"No, no, Brother Gong, your dishes must be extremely well cooked and very in line with His Majesty's taste. That's why I'm so interested in you. Don't make any mistake," someone reminded.

The eyes of everyone looking at Gong Yue were suddenly a little different. Some were jealous, some were envious, and most of them were worried. They were afraid that they would call him over right away, and they were afraid that they would not call them.

The whole thing was anxious.

But at this moment, a sudden and calm voice sounded, "Is half an hour long?"

Isn't half an hour long?Talking to Emperor Daxing, I'm afraid you will be so nervous that your days will feel like years!
"I've done the math. Excluding the time spent traveling back and forth and the time spent making introductions, His Majesty can probably only ask you Yipinju one question, right?" Xu Mengxiao smiled.

The smile on Gong Yue's face suddenly froze, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Xu Mengxiao knew that he was bragging, "There is a high probability that His Majesty is more interested in your dishes. The first dish attracted so much attention and was the first to be called. The dishes you cook at Yipinju must be Very special?"

Gong Yue's eyes dimmed. This woman was indeed the one who could get them to be sealed as a first-class residence in Luo City!

“If a dish needs to be specially explained, it must be done very carefully... The time for today’s preliminary competition is tight. I thought everyone would try to finish it as soon as possible, focusing on taste. I didn’t expect Yipinju to be so powerful. While taking into account taste, it can also Taking into account both content and meaning.”

Xu Mengxiao seemed to be sincerely praising and admiring him, but someone immediately reacted -

During the first batch of competitions, His Majesty did not limit the time, and everyone did not have this experience. Therefore, not long ago, when most people finished their dishes, it was said that there were still people who had not finished it!
Since it is a competition, there will definitely not be a ranking. In the end, most people are waiting for the one that has not been completed.Although the wait didn't take long, the taste of dishes, especially those used for competitions, will change if they are left for a little longer. Freshly cooked dishes are definitely the most delicious.

For a moment, everyone's eyes changed again when they looked at Gong Yue, and they became not so friendly.

If the first batch was delayed because Yipinju did not follow the rules, it delayed the taste of their own dishes.

Then His Majesty's next urging to speed up is also affecting the second, third, and fourth batch of people cooking!
Suddenly, in the silent condemnation, Gong Yue became the target of public criticism.

He took a deep breath and said, "That's not the case. This was the first dish we planned to make. It's hard to say who delayed the time..."

Before he finished speaking, several cooks came over in disgrace. They were the first batch of people to finish the competition.

"How about it? Has His Majesty sent someone to look for you?" After all, they haven't been looked for until now.

"I lost the election..."

"what?"

"They're all people from Yipinju! It took a long time to finish it. We had to send the dishes over for them to taste. Those people didn't agree, and the taste was affected in the end!"

"Yes, if I had sent it earlier, the result might have been different."

Gong Yue clenched his fists, never expecting this to happen. Of course, if this damn Xu Mengxiao hadn't interfered, the situation would not have turned out like this.

Just when everyone was in mixed moods and looking at Gong Yue a little unhappy, the father-in-law just now came over again and announced the results of the first batch.

"Yipinju, selected!"

"..."

"..."

"Then, is it gone?" Xu Mengxiao asked "kindly" for the others.

The first group of chefs and others in the restaurant immediately looked over eagerly, holding their breath.

"No more! What you did in the first batch was really unsatisfactory and really disappointed His Majesty. Except for a first-class resident, the rest of you have to behave well!" The father-in-law also reprimanded a few words, feeling vaguely that they wasted His Majesty's time. of blame.

Everyone, "..."

If it had been before, Gong Yue might have laughed out loud with excitement when he learned that only his own team had advanced in the same match.

But now not only could he not laugh, he even felt out of place, irritated and depressed.

How could he be so unlucky? If this damn girl had her way, even something as big as promotion couldn't make him happy.

Those who lose naturally have no qualifications to stay here any longer.

Before leaving, they looked at Gong Yue and other Yipinju people with resentful eyes. Even if it was possible that their cooking skills were inferior to others, at this time they all blamed Yipinju.

"It's really unlucky to be with such a person."

"It's unlucky for those who are not grouped together. Time will be tight later on. I hope our cooks won't panic too much. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be over."

"On the first day of the competition, everyone agreed to the unwritten rules. When there are many people, the most basic taste must be put first. If it is done quickly enough, other colors, aromas, shapes, and meanings will be discussed. Now there are people It’s not honorable to win if you break the rules!”

This "someone" was almost named. After all, this was the only one, and he was the only one who won.

Xu Mengxiao didn't know whether Gong Yue felt good about winning now, but she was really happy after watching a show and getting her revenge!
