Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1148 Draw lots, prepare

When they returned to the main hall, Lu Chong and Bai Jing were also ready.

Because it is a match between three players, no one is allowed to bring assistants.However, in order to help the three of them, the old emperor still authorized three young eunuchs to come on stage to wash the dishes and pots for the three of them.

Seeing the little eunuch tremblingly coming over to help her, Lin Yuan burst into laughter, and casually took a tomato from the chopping board where the ingredients were placed and threw it to him.

"Eat, it's time to work after eating!"

The little eunuch was flattered, how dare he eat in front of the emperor?
His legs trembled even more, but holding the round red tomato in his hand, he still couldn't help swallowing, and asked cautiously: "Well, princess, can you eat it after you go back?"

Lin Yuan was funny, the tomato was originally given to him to dispel his timidity, and it wasn't really for him to eat it now.

Seeing Lin Yuan nodded, the little eunuch smiled, thanked him, and hid the tomato in his close-fitting pocket. After such a fuss, he was not so nervous, and worked more diligently behind Lin Yuan up.

The other two young eunuchs looked at him enviously, but looking at the two imperial chefs following him, none of them dared to ask for a reward.

Lu Chong is No. 1 in the imperial dining room. He has a relatively calm temper and rarely communicates with others.

As for Bai Jing, let alone, he is arrogant and domineering, and doesn't take others seriously at all.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yuan rewarded the little eunuch with a tomato, she immediately laughed eccentrically: "Princess Pingxi is really good at tricks, just one tomato bought him off, heh!"

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows and had a preliminary understanding of this Bai Jing.

The cloaked man in Zuixianju also hated him very much, could this Bai Jing be that cloaked man?
But I always feel that something is not right, the cloaked man is very smart, if Bai Jing is really him, he will definitely not show such blatant hostility towards him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Bai Jing deliberately used this method to confuse her.

Cursing her lips, Lin Yuan ignored the white scripture and continued to take the little eunuch to choose the ingredients she needed.

To show fairness, the ingredients needed by the three people participating in the competition were all selected from the same big case, and each person only had one chance to choose ingredients, so this opportunity was very rare.

After the old emperor nodded to indicate that everyone could start picking ingredients, Bai Jing was the first to rush to the front of the big case with the little eunuch.

Regardless of whether it was vegetarian dishes or meat dishes, he picked some of each and threw them into the big basket carried by the little eunuch. After a while, the big basket was full, but he still had no intention of stopping, and was still picking and pulling each dish. He planted spices, ordered the little eunuch to lift up his robe, and threw everything into his robe in one go.

Compared with Bai Jing's reckless impulsiveness, Lu Chong was much calmer. He read all the ingredients on the case, and whispered something in the ear of the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch went up to follow his instructions Pick out the ingredients you need and come back.

The whole process didn't even take more than two sentences, and the battle ended early.

Lin Yuan didn't know much about Lu Chong, but when he picked out the ingredients, he didn't rummaged through them like Bai Jing did. Instead, he thought about it and then picked it. But this way, he knew that Lu Chong was calmer and calmer than Bai Jing. Lots of land.

I don't know if it was because he got a tomato, but the little eunuch behind Lin Yuan was already thinking of her wholeheartedly. Seeing that Bai Jing had almost snatched up all the ingredients on the table, he hurriedly urged Lin Yuan to pick them out.

Lin Yuan smiled. In fact, like Lu Chong, she had already thought about what to cook in her heart, so she didn't mind what Bai Jing did.

After telling the little eunuch some vegetables that he needed, Lin Yuan walked to the place where the meat was placed and stopped.

The palace is different, even the preparation of ingredients is very generous, vegetables are placed in bundles, even meat.

No, there is a whole pig next to the big case!

Lin Yuan went over and looked through it, and found that the pig had been slaughtered very cleanly, and the whole body had been cut to a suitable size and then put back together.

Lin Yuan nodded secretly, but found sadly that the piece of meat she needed was not separated from other places.

"Don't they all need to cook here?"

Muttering suspiciously, Lin Yuan decided to cut off that piece of tenderloin by herself.

There were knives prepared on the competition table for the three of them, but since the three of them hadn't drawn lots to decide where to compete, Lin Yuan couldn't just use the knives at will.

There was no other way but to turn to the old emperor for help.

"Your Majesty, can I borrow a knife from my servant?"

Lin Yuan's crisp voice resounded in the hall, and everyone's eyes were cast on her.

Bai Jing, who was still busy choosing ingredients, immediately raised his head vigilantly, in case this ghost girl cheated.

The old emperor who was talking to Heliano also raised his eyebrows with great interest: "Oh? Are the ingredients prepared in the imperial dining room inappropriate? I also specifically asked them to cut pork and beef into small pieces!"

Naturally it is inappropriate.

Lin Yuan murmured in her heart, but she didn't dare to say what was in her heart. After all, the Prince of Xiliang was here, so she couldn't tell outsiders that her cook was not doing well, could she?

"Your Majesty, I can't use such a large piece of meat, I just use a little bit. Can I allow my daughter to cut a piece of meat with a knife?"

This reason was so appropriate that even Bai Jing, who wanted to make Lin Yuan unhappy, kept his mouth shut.

"Haha, well, if that's the case, then give her this knife!"

The old emperor laughed, his wise eyes swept over his desk, and motioned for the old eunuch beside him to hand over the knife on it to Lin Yuan.

The land in Xiliang is barren, so many local people like to eat meat.

The prince of Xiliang attended the palace banquet today. In order to take care of him and show the broad mind of Emperor Dayong, the old emperor specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare a barbecue with Xiliang characteristics.

Eating barbecue naturally needs to be cut with a knife on the spot, so each guest has a small and very sharp knife on the table.

The knife on the old emperor's table is naturally much better than the knife on the table of ordinary guests.As soon as he opened his mouth, he rewarded Lin Yuan with the knife he used, and the deep meaning in it was indeed intriguing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving the knife, Lin Yuan couldn't help praising: "Your Majesty's knife is exquisite and sharp, it's really a good knife!"

Haha.

The hearty laughter of the old emperor resounded above his head: "Even if you have good eyesight, this little knife was given to me by the prince of Xiliang! This thing is very easy to use, so I can't reward you. If you want , go and ask the Prince of Xiliang for it again!"

It turns out that this small and delicate knife was a gift from the Prince of Xiliang!
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, and instantly felt a sparkling gaze staring at her closely. She didn't need to look to know that Xia Zheng's jealousy must have been overturned again.

Lifting her eyes and giving Xia Zheng a comforting look, Lin Yuan giggled and raised her hand to raise the knife in her hand.

Xia Zheng snorted arrogantly, and it was clearly written on his handsome face, "Master's dagger is much more beautiful than this broken knife"!
Lin Yuan shrugged, don't want it for nothing, anyway, it doesn't need to spend money.

Now that Xia Zheng was happy, Lin Yuan didn't even need to ask, he just went to ask Heliannuo for a knife on her behalf.

Lin Yuan was unable to support her forehead, and the nature of this Qian Chuanzi was unreservedly revealed!
Playing with the knife in her hand, Lin Yuan walked up to the whole pig, figuring out how to cut it.

It was the first time for everyone in the hall to see a woman cooking, let alone a woman cutting flesh with a knife.

A series of gazes were shot at Lin Yuan's body. If these people's gazes were all substantive, Lin Yuan's body might be shot into a sieve.

Bai Jing, who was still picking up the ingredients, also stopped involuntarily, and looked at Lin Yuan wonderingly.

Lu Chong knew Lin Yuan a little bit, so when she asked for a knife, he had already started thinking about which piece of pig she needed.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to let you get stabbed again, but don't be afraid, I will move very quickly, and it won't hurt."

Everyone was embarrassed, but before they could express their complaints, they saw a flash of the knife in Lin Yuan's hand, and two swipes, a bright red piece of flesh the size of a palm fell into her hand.

Everyone was shocked, and they all opened their mouths wide to discuss. Many people present do not understand martial arts, so naturally they cannot understand Lin Yuan's movements.

And those who knew martial arts and saw her movements clearly were even more surprised. Even though the small knife cuts iron like mud, it is not an easy task to cut off a piece of pork so quickly and neatly.

You know, the meat Lin Yuan needs is obviously not ordinary meat. The piece of meat is bright red and there is no white silk on the whole body. She just separated the fat meat from the tender meat. , really amazing.

To say that the only one who can see carefully is probably Lu Chong.Because he was the closest and had been staring closely, he naturally saw that the piece of meat she needed was actually the part of the pig's belly that was close to the bone.

The meat here is actually very tasteless, more or less, but it is very troublesome to handle, so the imperial chefs basically use it with other meat, and never use it separately like her.

Could it be that there is something mysterious about the meat here?
Thinking of this, Lu Chong also looked forward to the dishes that Lin Yuan would cook next.

Lin Yuan's knife skills were still being discussed in the hall, and the old emperor immediately asked the old eunuch to prepare a lottery for them to choose their own competition table when they were pleasantly surprised.

Lin Yuan is the princess, so she was the first one to catch her.

As for the second person, Lu Chong, No. 1 in the Royal Dining Room, should be the one to arrest him, but Bai Jing is too thick-skinned and has always acted domineeringly. Before Lu Chong could make a move, he had already grabbed the second note .

The old emperor was talking to Empress Heliano and the others, so he didn't notice what happened here.

The little eunuch who was in charge of letting the three draw lots was too jerky, even if he wanted to stop him, Bai Jing stared back.

Lu Chong waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and opened the last note very calmly.

The final result was that Lin Yuan was in the middle, with Lu Chong and Bai Jing on both sides.

In fact, it doesn't matter where the competition takes place, with so many people watching in the hall, as well as the emperor, empress and all the concubines and princes, is it possible that they can do something tricky under the watchful eyes of everyone?

Therefore, Lin Yuan also disdained Bai Jing's deliberate act of making things difficult for Lu Chong.

"The rules of the competition are very simple, the one who cooks two dishes in the shortest time and cooks them deliciously and quickly wins."

The old emperor explained the rules of the game again, and of course he did not forget to add today's lottery: "Since it is a game, it must be a bit of a lottery! How about this, I will reward the winner of today's game with ten taels of gold .”

Ten taels of gold, how much would this be in modern society!

Although she is not short of money, who cares about money?Lin Yuan swallowed her saliva, she was determined to win this competition.

As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, Heliannuo, the crown prince of Xiliang, who was enjoying the wine with a glass of wine, smiled seductively, and said, "Since His Majesty has set a lottery, the crown prince can't just watch! Come on, it just so happens that the Crown Prince has a pearl bracelet from Dong Ling, and I will give it to the winner later as a lottery!"

As he said that, Heliano really took out a bunch of pearl bracelets that were pink and shining from his arms.

Pink pearls are relatively rare, let alone such a very round string of size?

Looking at such a pearl bracelet, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Heliano's boots inlaid with a string of black pearls, and instantly lost interest in this bracelet.

She is not interested, but it does not mean that others are not interested, the pearls of Dongling, they are really pearls obtained from the sea, and usually only the Dayong royal family can have them!
Bai Jing's eyes shone greedily, and he immediately began to roll up his sleeves to prepare for a big fight, and he was bound to get the string of pearls in his hands!

Lu Chong, who has always been indifferent, fell in love with this string of pearls for a while, and the expression on his face became more serious.

"Haha, Prince Helian's lottery is really different, and Prince Helian's things are more attractive!"

The old emperor looked at the string of pearls and smiled happily, but he also muttered in his heart, didn't he say that Xiliang is very poor, why did the prince of Xiliang get such a string of rare pearls when he made a move?

Could it be that the rumors are all false?

"Now that the lottery has been prepared, let's start the competition! Girl Pingxi, Xia Zheng is going to praise you to the sky, you have to show me well, if you don't satisfy me, I can't help you!" I will punish you well!"

punish?

Yao Hanyan and Cheng Yuexiu's ears pricked up immediately, but when the two of them sneaked a look at the old emperor's expression, the expectation on their faces disappeared immediately.

Although he said words of punishment, the old emperor's face showed no intention of punishment at all, and he still doted on her so much!

Little bitch!
Cheng Yuexiu cursed in a low voice, and couldn't help looking at the male guest table opposite.

It didn't matter after looking at it, and sure enough, Ma Junying's eyes couldn't move away from Lin Yuan's body again.

The three people participating in the competition have come to their own competition table and are ready to start.

This side is preparing, and the old emperor and the others are still chatting over there.

Xia Zheng leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the old emperor with a bit of playfulness: "How can you punish Yuan'er? Your Majesty, this compliment is not from Yuan'er herself. Those who praise her should be punished!"

After saying a word, someone's face suddenly changed.

Zhao Hongsheng glared at Xia Zheng with gloomy eyes, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

However, just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he can escape.

Heliannuo on the other side was the first to laugh and said: "If it is according to the words of the county king, then the crown prince and the second prince should be punished!"

As he said that, Heliano's eyes slanted towards Zhao Hongsheng's body, and the irony in his eyes was self-evident.

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that Heliano is quite reliable sometimes, at least in the matter of teaming up to deceive people, the two still have a tacit understanding!

The old emperor laughed, and naturally he took what the two said as a joke. He was just joking at the beginning, and he didn't really want to punish anyone.

The old emperor stopped talking, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on the three people who participated in the competition.

Among the three in the competition, Bai Jing was instructing the little eunuch to wash vegetables like an old man, while Lu Chong handled the selected fish with his own hands.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was cleaning the vegetables in her hands while chatting with the little eunuch, with a calm look.

Everyone else was too nervous, but Lin Yuan was still smiling, which was really hard to see through.

Some of the onlookers were disdainful and some were watching the show, waiting for the moment when this little village girl from the countryside would be killed by one of the best imperial cooks in the palace.

　It’s a new month, la la la, my wish is to write more every day~
　　A relative asked me how many updates a day. Some time ago, because of my limited time for coding, I often couldn’t finish writing the update of the day before [-]:[-] in the morning, so I split one update into two to post.

　　But it shouldn’t be like this in the future. At [-] o’clock in the morning every day, there is usually one update, and occasionally there will be a second update, and the second update will be notified in advance, okay~
　　It's almost over, I plan to save the manuscript, and when it's over, I'll send you a hundred thousand words in one go, ha ha, interrupt, I can't say whether it can be realized, cough cough~
