Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1169 Extreme Expansion
what!
A sudden loud laugh interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Bai Jing, who had been sitting at the table with his legs crossed, suddenly spotted Lin Yuan, and was greeting her with raised eyebrows and clapping his hands!
"Yo! Isn't this the famous Princess Pingxi? How come we meet here by such a coincidence? Could it be that the princess also came to eat in this cave? Oh, sorry to say it bluntly, the food in this cave is not very good , the princess should go to another place to eat quickly, but don't spoil your stomach."

Bai Jing's voice was so loud that it didn't match his fair little face at all. Even though his face was covered with thin powder, the powder on his face seemed to fall off after he yelled so unabashedly.

There were not many people eating in the cave hall, but there were quite a few people watching the excitement, and they frowned after hearing Bai Jing's words.

Of course, some people began to whisper, obviously believing Bai Jing's words, and really thought that they didn't know that the master behind this cave was the Princess Pingxi in front of them.

However, some people were also surprised that the group of troublemakers knew Lin Yuan and recognized her as soon as they met.Judging by his tone of voice, it seems that the relationship is not bad, but why does such a relationship cause trouble?

Could it be that the food in Dongtian is really not good?

Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Lin Yuan sneered in her heart, raised her foot and approached a few people, frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "Huh? This gentleman has a kind face, but I don't know where he saw it? Could it be Are you a regular visitor to our cave?"

While talking, Lin Yuan turned her head to look at shopkeeper Liu, obviously asking him.

And from the corner of her eye, she happened to see Bai Jing's somewhat embarrassed face, and of course, the flash of viciousness in his eyes.

Shopkeeper Liu laughed secretly, and said loudly: "Maybe you don't know, these people are indeed regular customers of our Dongtian. They often come to Dongtian for dinner in recent days. They ate very well a few days ago. I don't know if it is today. What's the matter, it suddenly said that the food is not good, and the cook has not changed, which makes me a little baffled."

Shopkeeper Liu told the fact that Bai Jing is a frequent visitor to the cave in a few simple words. Not only that, he also specifically emphasized that the cook today is the same person as the cook a few days ago. They all ate well a few days ago. But my son suddenly said that the food was not good. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they came here on purpose to discredit Dongtian.

Bai Jing and the others figured out what Lin Yuan and shopkeeper Liu meant after a little thought, and when they heard the words of the people watching the bustle outside, they immediately became angry from embarrassment.

They had indeed been here for several days, but it was only because they hadn't been able to meet Lin Yuan in those few days. Today, they finally saw her, and that's why they had an attack.

Who would have thought that this would become his own handle?
When Bai Jing was in the imperial dining room, relying on his somewhat entangled relationship with the second prince Zhao Hongsheng, he didn't pay attention to anyone, so how could he ever be scolded by others?

Seeing that everyone treated him unkindly today, he immediately pursed his lips dangerously, trying to drive away all these spectators.

"Master!"

Liang Liqin quickly suppressed Bai Jing, whispered a few words in his ear, and then calmed down Bai Jing who was about to run away.

Although they couldn't hear what their master and apprentice were talking about, Lin Yuan could guess Liang Liqin's intentions.

Since he came to make trouble to discredit Dongtian and her, naturally the more people know about it, the better!
"Princess Pingxi really has a sharp tongue, but it's a pity that no matter how much you argue, you can't change the fact that there is something wrong with the food today!"

After being comforted by Liang Liqin, Bai Jing was not as polite as before when he spoke again.

He pointed to the messy cups and plates on a table, and said in a disdainful tone: "I heard that Princess Pingxi is the owner of this cave. Since Princess Pingxi's cooking skills are so superb that even His Majesty and the Empress are full of praise, why are these meals not good?" ? Look at these four happy bags!"

Bai Jing picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the four happy bags thrown on the table, picking and choosing: "The outer skin is dry and hard, the meat filling is soft, not chewy at all, so it's possible that someone who comes to eat in your cave They are all old men and women in their seventies and eighties? You want them to throw away the outer skin and only eat the meat inside?"

Bai Jing spoke righteously, if he didn't know his sinister intentions, I'm afraid he would really be frightened by his tirade.

Lin Yuan stood tall, with her hands folded in front of her, with a faint smile on her face, just looking at him calmly, without saying a word.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak, Bai Jing thought she was frightened by him, after all, the other party was only a teenage girl.

Teenage, he has been in the imperial dining room for more than ten years, and he will be defeated by a little girl?

Bai Jing immediately thought of his depressed mood after the palace banquet. He was born in a family of imperial cooks. He started playing with his father in the kitchen when he was four years old. He was forced by his father to recite various recipes when he was five years old. He started practicing with knives when he was ten years old. At the age of 15, he entered the imperial dining room with his father and became a small helper.

This gang has lasted ten years, he has grown from an unknown kid to a young man, his cooking skills are getting better and better, but his temper is getting more and more arrogant.

Of course, he only saw his own advantages and did not see his own shortcomings.

When he had a cooking competition with Lin Yuan that day, he lost, and lost his temper after returning home.

If Liang Liqin hadn't revealed the identity of Princess Lin Yuan and Pingxi, Bai Jing would have almost died of anger.

Yes, who is he competing with?That's Princess Pingxi who was newly promoted this year!
She is not only Concubine Shu's adopted daughter, the Third Prince's adopted sister, but also the future daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion. How can she be invincible in a cooking competition with someone of this status?
After being told by his subordinates, Bai Jing immediately sensed the conspiracy behind this competition.The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, and the next day I got entangled with a few people to come to the cave and wait for the rabbit, wanting to avenge the shame.

It's just a pity that Lin Yuan hasn't come to the cave these days, they waited for a few days in vain, the little beggar sent to watch today immediately reported to them as soon as they saw Lin Yuan coming in, and they hurried over to make trouble .

After complimenting and criticizing the four happy bags, Bai Jing held his chopsticks and continued to criticize the other dishes one by one.

Listening to Bai Jing's rebuke, Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly. This Bai Jing is really worthy of being the head of the imperial dining room. Even if it is nitpicking, it is much more advanced than the few young people who just spoke.

Bai Jing pointed while speaking, spittle flew from his mouth, even Qian Hai, who was the dirtiest, couldn't help but twisted his body back to avoid those flying spittle stars.

Finally, when Bai Jing finished explaining, Lin Yuan shook her head amusingly, raised her hand and said loudly, "Go, pour a cup of hot tea for Mr. Bai to moisten his throat. You must be thirsty after talking for a long time."

puff!
I don't know which common people watching the excitement couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

Everyone was intimidated by Bai Jing's rhetoric before, thinking that Lin Yuan, the person involved, would be as intimidated as they were!

Especially when they saw Lin Yuan raising her hand, some people couldn't help guessing that she was furious and wanted to chase her away.

It's just, who would have thought that she, she was actually being given tea!

Bai Jing didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Lin Yuan asked someone to bring tea to moisten his throat so politely, he immediately straightened his back proudly, and continued with a serious look: "Princess Pingxi don't have to flatter me. What you say is the truth, if the Princess doesn't listen to you, just treat it as nonsense. After all, with your status here, I, a little royal chef, can't afford to offend you!"

Although his voice was not loud when he said this, he said every word clearly, especially the last few words of "Little Royal Chef", which he deliberately bit hard.

Sure enough, the people who watched the excitement were taken aback by his identity as the royal chef, and discussions suddenly erupted in the crowd.

"Oh my god, he is actually the imperial chef! That's the person who cooks for His Majesty, I actually saw someone who cooks for His Majesty today! Mother, did you see it in Tianyouling?"

"No wonder what he said just now is right. It turns out that he is the imperial chef! I heard that the imperial chef is not for ordinary people. He is so good, he must be very good at cooking!"

"Tch, what do you know? That's good, it's excellent, it's excellent! Those who cook for His Majesty, if they don't cook well, won't they lose their heads at any time?"

"Wait a minute, what do you think the imperial chef is doing in Dongtian? He keeps finding fault with Dongtian's food, shouldn't it be..."

"What's fault picking? It's not like you don't know who the imperial chef is. If the imperial chef says that your food is not good, it's not good. How can you find fault? Can you talk!"

"That, that's, that's really bad? But I heard that the food in Dongtian is delicious! A good buddy of mine often comes to eat, but it's a pity that I don't have any extra money , I haven’t tasted the food of Dongtian. Hey? Has any of you eaten the food of Dongtian? Tell us about it and let us open our eyes!”

"Well, I have eaten it, and I think it's not bad. However, after hearing what the master chef said today, it seems that it is really the case. The leather of those lucky bags is really hard..."

In the end, the middle-aged man who said this became quieter as he spoke. If he hadn't realized that he was actually a fool, Lin Yuan would have thought that this guy was a babysitter brought by Bai Jing and the others!

Liang Liqin and Qian Hai smiled at each other, with triumphant smiles on their faces.

Lin Yuan glanced at them coldly, and sneered in her heart: Just because she is an imperial cook, do you think she has won?What a wishful thinking!

"Girl, look at this..."

Shopkeeper Liu was also a little anxious, beads of sweat dripped down on his forehead, he had followed Xia Zheng before, and because of Xia Zheng's identity, he had never encountered any major setbacks.

Later, with Lin Yuan, although there were many big and small things, but speaking of them, they were not as troublesome as today's things.

You know, the person you are facing today is the imperial cook in the palace, not to mention those who run restaurants, but in the hearts of ordinary people, the people and things in the palace are the best.

Seeing shopkeeper Liu's expression turned a little ugly, Lin Yuan finally realized that the identity of the imperial chef can bluff people in this era.

Shaking her head secretly, Lin Yuan gave shopkeeper Liu a calm look. Since Bai Jing and the others don't mind revealing their identity as imperial cooks, and flaunt it so blatantly on purpose, then she doesn't mind letting this identity Bury them themselves.

It happened that the young man brought the tea, Lin Yuan took it in person, and brought it to the table where Bai Jing and the others were sitting, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are from the imperial dining room in the palace, it's really disrespectful. I just don't know, this How do you call Mr. Wei, and what is your position in the imperial dining room?"

Anyone who knows Lin Yuan must know that there must be some kind of conspiracy behind her sudden courtship.

It's just a pity that Bai Jing and the others haven't dealt with Lin Yuan a few times, and even apart from Bai Jing, the others have never seen her before.How could they see Lin Yuan's abnormality?
They all just thought that she was intimidated by the identities of several people, so they brought tea in person.

Bai Jing winked, and Liang Liqin immediately stood up with a smile, took the teapot from Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "The Princess is so kind, my master's surname is Bai Mingjing, although it is No. 1 in the Imperial Dining Room, But no matter how powerful it is, it is not as honorable as Princess Pingxi, how can I bother you to pour tea for the little ones yourself?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yuan gave the teapot to Liang Liqin, and Lin Yuan felt amused. This Liang Liqin is really exquisite, no wonder he is favored by Bai Jing. It seems that he is belittling himself in a few words, but in fact he is pointing out in front of everyone that his master is No. .1.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Liqin finished speaking, the crowd watching the excitement started chattering again, and all their words were full of admiration for Bai Jing and the others.

Lin Yuan seemed to sit aside unintentionally. Although she already knew Bai Jing's identity, she never mentioned the game at the palace banquet that day. , I have admired your name for a long time. I heard that Mr. Bai is very honorable in front of His Majesty, so he must have amazing cooking skills. It is an honor for us to get a suggestion from Mr. Bai today!"

"Haha, the princess is really serious, don't dare to be it, don't dare to be it!"

Being flattered by Lin Yuan, not only Bai Jing, but even the few people who came with him showed complacency on their faces. Even though the person opposite was Princess Pingxi, they still looked down on her a bit.

Lin Yuan saw the expressions of these people. In addition to the complacency and contempt on the faces of these people, she also found that Qin Shi, who had kept his head down and silent, also raised his head for the first time.

Only then did Lin Yuan discover Qin Shi's appearance. Just as shopkeeper Liu said, he is really an old man, with deep wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are very cloudy, even the eyeballs are not very good. flexible.

But at this moment, Qin Shi's eyes revealed some different meanings.

Although it was just a quick glance, Lin Yuan could tell that it was sympathy and worry for her.

Lin Yuan sighed slightly. She and Qin Shi had never met before, but he showed a bit of concern when others ridiculed her. It seemed that this person was as honest as Shopkeeper Liu said.

With a slight movement of her fingers, Lin Yuan looked back at Bai Jing and the others.

"I don't know if Mr. Bai knows Mr. Lu? I have met Mr. Lu a few times, and it can be regarded as an acquaintance. I heard that he is also a very powerful figure in the imperial dining room. I just don't know. Compared with Mr., who are you two?" Are your culinary skills even better?"

When speaking, Lin Yuan tilted her head slightly, revealing the innocent attitude of a little girl.

Bai Jing and the others were not familiar with her, so they naturally didn't know that Lin Yuan had never shown such an appearance before, so they were immediately taken aback by her harmless appearance, thinking that she asked this question purely out of curiosity.

"Mr. Lu? Could it be Lu Chong?"

A hint of impatience and disgust flashed in Bai Jing's eyes, and he didn't even hide the disgust in his tone.

Lin Yuan nodded: "It's Mr. Lu Chong Lu, so Mr. Bai knows him!"

Humph.

With a cold snort, the corners of Bai Jing's lips rose slightly: "It's not just acquaintance!"

He didn't say the latter words, but someone else continued.

Qian Hai looked at Bai Jing obsequiously, and slapped the dirty table with his palm, his hands were even more greasy.

"It's not just acquaintances? This Lu Chong is still the defeat of Big Brother Bai! My big brother Bai doesn't bother to mention that Lu Chong, but I can have a good fight with the princess. Then Lu Chong is arrogant, relying on himself. Zhuang Kangping's apprentice is doing evil in the imperial dining room, and no one takes it seriously. Tsk tsk, if my big brother Bai didn't take pity on him, he would have been dismissed by the palace long ago!"

Qian Hai's voice was so loud that Lin Yuan's eardrums hurt a little.

And the people watching heard it more clearly. Although they didn't know who Lu Chong was, they knew the name Zhuang Kangping.

Who is that?That's the most qualified chef in Zuixianlou, and he even cooked for the late emperor back then. The late emperor wanted to invite him to cook in the palace, but he was rejected by this guy!

Since he is Zhuang Kangping's apprentice, then this Lu Chong must be very good too!

But, why did Bai Jing say that he was his own defeated general?Could it be that Bai Jing's culinary skills are even better?
The doubts in everyone's hearts were questioned by Lin Yuan, and the surrounding audience immediately pricked up their ears and listened more carefully to what they said.

Bai Jing raised his hand and touched his face, which was covered with thin powder, with a look of disdain.

Liang Liqin answered Lin Yuan's question for him: "The princess is really smart, but Lu Chong is not very popular in the imperial dining room, but he is jealous of my master's kindness and superb cooking skills. Naturally, he always thinks of provocation. However, Is my master the kind of narrow-minded person?"

Sighing, Liang Liqin said again: "The princess should have heard such a saying, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, then Lu Chong is really hateful, once even put it in the meal made by my master. It made Long Yan furious. There was no other way, so my master had no choice but to accept his challenge, and with a simple dish of emerald branches, hundreds of flowers and hibiscus, he convinced Lu Chongshu. From then on, this Lu If you say goodbye to my master, that’s a detour! Haha.”

Liang Liqin spoke happily, and laughed loudly, and Qian Hai also laughed loudly.

Only Zeng Daqi, who was a bit simple-minded, didn't react. He looked at Liang Liqin blankly, and asked subconsciously: "What else is there? Why don't I know..."

Snapped!
Before Zeng Daqi finished speaking, Qian Hai had already patted his head with his dirty and oily hands.

Liang Liqin also gave him a vicious look, his eyes full of threats.

Zeng Daqi looked left and right, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, there is this matter, there is this matter. Everyone in our imperial dining room saw it that day, even I saw it. That emerald branch hibiscus flower soup is very fragrant and delicious, the whole imperial dining room can smell the fragrance!"

"It's Cuizhi Hundred Flowers Hibiscus Soup!"

Qian Hai gritted his teeth and repeated in Zeng Daqi's ear, and Zeng Daqi immediately nodded and changed his words: "Yes, Cuizhi Baihua Furong Soup, Furong Soup!"

Although he emphasized it on his lips, Zeng Daqi muttered to himself in his heart, where is there such a soup with green branches, hundreds of flowers and hibiscus, it sounds so true, he has never even heard of it!
But this kind of thing they themselves know, but others don't know.

The exit of a somewhat complicated name immediately aroused discussions among the audience.

"Listen, the names of the dishes in the palace are different from those outside. Cuizhi Baihua Furong Soup, once you hear the name, you know it must be very delicious."

"Is it a soup made of hundreds of flowers? Only His Majesty the Emperor can enjoy such a meal!"

"Your Majesty is holy! You have worked hard for me all day long, and you deserve to enjoy the best delicious food!"

Everyone talked to each other, from a dish name that Liang Liqin made up casually to the emperor's diligence, and from the emperor's diligence to the hard work of the people in the imperial dining room, Lin Yuan was deeply impressed by everyone's super strong association.

Seeing the extreme sense of superiority and complacency on the faces of Bai Jing and the others, Lin Yuan knew that it was her turn to act next.

"Wow! Cuizhi Baihua Furong Soup? It turns out that even the name of the food in the imperial dining room is so beautiful! Hey, I grew up in the countryside. I have never heard of such a beautiful name. What is it better than me? Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce and Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor sounds much better. Thanks to Mr. Bai, I was able to open my eyes today!"

Isn't it just flattery?As if who can't!
Lin Yuan was amused in her heart, and she said flattery words one after another, which made Bai Jing and the others feel very comfortable.

Shopkeeper Liu and the others all twitched their mouths. They knew how many times their daughter had entered the palace.What else to say is an eye-opener, I have never heard such a nice name!

Alas, it means that their boss can say such nonsense!
Shopkeeper Liu knows, but it doesn't mean that Bai Jing also knows.He was just an imperial cook in the imperial dining room, no matter how embarrassing he was, it was impossible to know who attended the palace banquet. Naturally, he didn't know that Lin Yuan had attended the palace banquet more than once.

Liang Liqin was very comfortable with Lin Yuan's words, and continued to say a few compliments to his master following her words.

Looking at this pig-like apprentice, Lin Yuan smiled even more. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai's cooking skills are so superb, it's really radiant to come to our cave today. The cooks in Dongtian took a class, which benefited us a lot. How about I call out all the cooks and let them all come to listen to the teacher's teaching?"

"This……"

"Of course that's fine. Our master is the most broad-minded. Let alone teaching, it's okay to demonstrate it to them on the spot, isn't it, master?"

Bai Jing only said one word, and the rest of the words were taken over by his stupid apprentice who only knew how to flatter.

"Yes."

Bai Jing always felt something was wrong in his heart, but the apprentice's big words have been uttered, how can he change his words?He could only grit his teeth and agree.

However, Liang Liqin had already been flattered by Lin Yuan and everyone's flattery at this time, and he didn't realize that his master's expression was a little different than usual, so he immediately turned his head and urged Lin Yuan to summon the cooks in Dongtian.

Lin Yuan shook her head amusedly, if she didn't know that Liang Liqin was not one of her own, she would really think that he was deliberately embarrassing Bai Jing!

Shopkeeper Liu turned his head and told the boy to go to the back kitchen to call for someone, and whispered something in Lin Yuan's ear while the audience was talking excitedly.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder Liang Liqin was so active when she asked Bai Jing to teach the cooks in Dongtian.

This cook is none other than Gao Xuan who was promoted from helper to master chef by Lin Yuan.

The two are about the same age, and they both studied cooking under the same master.It's just that Liang Liqin's family conditions are good, even though his cooking skills are not as good as Gao Xuan's, he was admitted to the Imperial Dining Room because of his family's management.

And Gao Xuan, who is better at cooking and more savvy, became a little decadent because of this, so he entered Dongtian as a helper until Lin Yuan took over Dongtian and had a chance to rise to the next level.

In the past few days, several people from Bai Jing came to demonstrate. Shopkeeper Liu found out their identities from Gao Xuan as a breakthrough.

Sure enough, when Gao Xuan's figure appeared in the lobby, Liang Liqin's back straightened even more, and the pride and disdain on his face were even more undisguised, and he even repeatedly mentioned his glorious deeds in the imperial dining room .

Lin Yuan shook her head silently, how did such a superficial person get into the imperial dining room?Could it be that the cooks in the imperial dining room were bribed with money to get in?

The chefs in the restaurant outside all regard being able to enter the imperial dining room as an imperial chef as their lifelong goal and glory, thinking that it is an honorable and guaranteed iron rice bowl.

But such an iron rice bowl is not something ordinary people can afford, only those nobles can have such an opportunity.

As the saying goes, the law of heaven is unfair, maybe this is what it means!
Thinking of how she finally gained a firm foothold in a five-star hotel after going through a lot of twists and turns in her previous life, Lin Yuan felt the same way.

Although she can't change this unfair world, if she can learn some lessons from today's events, those who have no real talent but entered the imperial dining room because of money, she is very happy.

　Don't underestimate the last paragraph, it is related to Lin Yuan's next major decision, and even the future development of Dongtian will be changed because of this~ The rewards for the 520 confession event will be distributed one after another today, so please stay safe Oh, what a da~
