The Emperor is terrible!

Although he had said in front of Fang Qing before, how magnanimous the emperor was, he would definitely not take into account what people had said about offending the three princes in the Guozijian, but standing in front of the emperor at this moment and hearing the emperor's meaningful words, Song Juren finally felt the essence of the so-called unpredictable words in those legends or dramas.

Although he was very confident in his craft, he didn't have time to taste it at all because of the fight with Chef Chen just now! Although most chefs do it in one go after cooking too many dishes, and put them on the plate without tasting the taste, the problem is that he is not that kind of chef, what if the taste is off?

Zhang Shou saw at a glance that when Song Juren stepped forward to serve porridge, his hands were shaking all the time - if it wasn't for the fact that he knew this strange thing very well, and thought that people had poisoned the pot, he was frightened at this moment. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only simply stand up, and then walked around to Chef Song, and suddenly grabbed his wrist.

He quickly grabbed the soup spoon that Song Juren had fallen directly because he was too frightened, and then said with a smile: "Song Gongzi, when you are a chef, you have to have steady hands, I remember that you always said this to me." What are you nervous about, the emperor is a benevolent and virtuous king, and he won't do anything to you for a bite to eat! If it's not tasty, it's just your own mismatch, isn't it? ”

Song Juren first glanced sideways at Zhang Shou, then glanced at the emperor tremblingly, and found that the smile on the emperor's face was fleeting, and he woke up like a dream.

That's right, don't say that he is not an imperial chef, even if he is really an imperial chef, and the emperor is not a faint monarch, how can he do anything to him just for a bite to eat!

Song Juren, who was very confident, immediately returned to his normal mind, he did not go to see the emperor again, but concentrated on scooping a small half bowl of porridge with a soup spoon, and then sent it to the emperor with both hands. Seeing that this Son of Heaven took it, he didn't sit and wait for someone to taste it, but took the small bowl in front of Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan, and served it with his hand, and then looked at the others.

And this look, in addition to seeing Zhang Shou, who had returned to his seat, and Zhu Ying, a pair of beautiful people next to him, he also saw Yue Shanchang, who was staring at him intently. At this moment, he was dumbfounded just now.

Don't look at him in front of Fang Qing, he said that his parents all said that the head of Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shan, was not a fuel-efficient lamp...... But he himself knew what kind of status Yue Shanchang had in Shilin Xuelin, Guangdong. As one of the young talents in Guangzhou Prefecture, of course, he has also met each other more than once. Now when he encounters this kind of occasion, the feeling in his heart is simply very subtle.

Needless to say, if he encounters his case today, Shan Chang Yue will definitely criticize him outside, and the elders of the Song family, who were already annoyed by him in this matter, may even criticize him...... How could he invite this today, why didn't he know beforehand! I knew that he might not be able to get sick!

Well, anyway, it's already served to the emperor and the two old men next to him, do you want to treat it as if you didn't see this Yue Shanchang, and drop your hands and retreat? When he was thinking this, he didn't expect an empty bowl to suddenly come over next to him. When he looked sideways and found that it was the emperor, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"One more bowl." Seeing Song Juren looking at himself in a daze as if he was stupid, the emperor suddenly looked a little unnatural. Just now I questioned whether other people's things are delicious, but now I say that I will have another bowl in the blink of an eye, which is indeed a bit ...... It's just that as the Son of Heaven, he has long been cheeky, and at this time he simply coughed majestically.

When Song Juren hurriedly took the bowl and went to serve the porridge, he stared at the person for a long time, and suddenly reminded loudly: "It's full." ”

Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan were about to eat at this time, and when they heard the emperor's reminder, the two people who couldn't even talk about the friendship of gentlemen glanced at each other, and then became a little curious. Lu Juan scooped a spoon close to his mouth, first he was so hot that he subconsciously took the spoon a little farther away, and when it was a little cooler, he gradually narrowed his eyes.

He has drunk a lot of porridge, some salty and some sweet, and it is boiled in broth, and the fresh can make people lose their eyebrows, but after the deliciousness, it is that taste. But just after taking this bite, he only felt that the umami was extremely light, as if it was wrapped between the rice grains, but after the twenty or so delicious dishes just now, his already somewhat greasy taste gradually recovered a little.

And when two bites, three bites and four bites, a small bowl of porridge were all in the stomach, Lu Juan found that the stomach that was a little uncomfortable after being half full just now seemed to be wrapped in a warmth, and there was an urge to stretch his waist lazily.

And Zhang Shou saw that the emperor was rushing to eat and Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan were quite satisfied, and he knew that Song Juren had once again exceeded his level today. Although he didn't think that Song Juren would really make something delicious beyond his expectations, seeing that Zhu Ying was obviously curious, he still hooked his hand at Song Juren.

Seeing that the person hurriedly sent two bowls over, he naturally sent one bowl to Zhu Ying first, and then handed one bowl to Yue Shanchang next to him. Seeing that Song Juren was caught off guard, and then glared at him with some resentment, he remembered that the people and Yue Shanchang were all from Guangdong, and they must have known each other for a long time.

Is it difficult to achieve it, because you know someone, you deliberately don't give it to people?

Zhang Shou was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately simply got up again, but he was about to urge this atypical chef, who was obviously very unconscious, to hurry back and serve the porridge to the rest of the people, but saw the emperor put down the empty bowl again.

This time, Zhang Shou simply stepped forward in person and filled a bowl full of dishes for the emperor, and then hurriedly urged Song Juren to send Huaiqinghou and the other five people, as well as Wu Ge Lao Xie Wanquan and Tang Mingsheng.

And after such distribution, only a thin layer was left in the pot, and seeing that Song Juren was embarrassed to scoop it out and hand it over to a small half bowl, he had to laugh.

However, he changed hands and gave the small half bowl of porridge directly. There is no doubt that this is handed to the emperor's side, and the fourth prince who has been extremely curious from the beginning.

Yue Shanchang has always paid attention to dietary moderation, and the previous more than 20 dishes were only superficial, and his stomach was only half full, and the half bowl of porridge handed over by Zhang Shou to Song Juren, he ate it extremely absent-mindedly, thinking about this wonderful son of the Song family. When half a bowl of porridge was all in his stomach, he found that he didn't taste it at all, and only felt that his mouth was light, and there was even a little sweetness.

And when he looked up, he found that the fourth prince took a bowl from Zhang Shou's hand, and after struggling for a while, he quickly thanked him, and then really slipped behind the emperor to eat, he quickly glanced at the others, and saw that everyone showed obviously quite satisfied expressions, he didn't know what kind of mood he should be in at this time.

Lu Xuan, Liu Zhiyuan, and Zhang Shou just spoke again and again, plus the funds raised in an instant. Even Elder Wu Ge stretched out a slap with a smile at the end and flipped it over, claiming to donate a thousand guan - in the face of this scene, Yue Shanchang already felt that he had been greatly impacted. After all, although he claims to be proficient in miscellaneous subjects, the roots of Zhaoming Academy are still classics.

And now the public school is obviously not aimed at Shilin, not a scholar in the traditional sense, which is good for him, Zhaoming Academy, or the world's major private schools, all of which will not have a big impact, but he always feels uneasy.

Especially the emperor had easily let the three princes go to Jiuzhangtang before, and the four princes were obviously very biased towards Zhang Shou, for this time in Beijing, he wanted to promote his own doctrine to the next generation of royal heirs, which was not a good sign.

Now, Song Juren has abandoned school and started cooking, and the emperor obviously doesn't think about it, which was simply unimaginable in the past! The gentleman is far away from cooking, although this is fundamentally focused on the implementation of benevolence, but for thousands of years, it has been regarded as a wise saying by scholars, at least even if someone cooks, it will not be regarded as a proper job, but the Song Juren in front of him completely subverted this.

What Yue Shanchang thinks, of course Zhang Shou doesn't know.

As the only person who didn't taste Chef Song's casserole porridge at this time, he looked at those who were quite satisfied with the food, not like the people who had eaten too many delicious dishes and had no appetite at all, he couldn't help but smile, and then heard Song Juren's apologetic voice: "Dr. Zhang, I have done less, and you must bear with me." ”

"It's just a small thing." Zhang Shou suddenly sighed.

"The reputation of Chaoshan casserole porridge, in fact, I have heard of it for a long time. Most of the time, the soup stock is boiled first, and then the soup stock is used to make the porridge base, and when the guests need it, a variety of seafood, meat, and even vegetables are added to the porridge base. But I see that the porridge you sent here is almost similar to white porridge, and you just sprinkle a few slices of green onions in the sky, and your mind is very different. ”

As soon as Zhang Shou said this, Song Juren smiled honestly and said: "No wonder I heard Ah Liu say, Dr. Zhang, you are well versed in cooking, that's right, most of Chaoshan's casserole porridge is indeed like this." Actually, I also boiled broth today, but it wasn't those pork bones, chicken racks, abalone, sea cucumber and other meat, it was vegetarian broth. ”

"And to avoid getting too strong, I only used two things, white radish and kelp. Originally, I also needed to add shiitake mushrooms, celery and the like, especially mushrooms, some wild mountain mushrooms can really fresh off the eyebrows, but not to mention whether there are those wild mountain mushrooms in the ingredients just provided above, I thought, everyone must have eaten too much delicious things just now, it is better to be lighter. ”

"So, I didn't add the greens and the like that I was going to add, just a little green onion leaves to enhance the color and flavor. Moreover, this porridge should be considered very homely, radishes, kelp, green onions, are all very common things, and the price is even cheaper. ”

"This is a porridge that restores the sense of taste and refreshes the mouth, otherwise no matter how good the skills of those chefs are, it is estimated that the emperor and the elders will not be able to eat it. I just didn't expect the emperor to eat so much. ”

The emperor had just poured down almost three bowls of porridge, and he was originally breathing a sigh of relief. After all, even if the first ten dishes are counted, the next dishes, occasionally mixed with a few soups, he only tasted one bite at most, because the umami of those things is too strong, and he may feel delicious and amazing when he eats the first bite, but it will be boring after eating.

It's just that after pouring three bowls of this light porridge, the stomach that he had only digested a little bit was filled. But Song Juren's last sentence made the supreme king angry. What's the matter, you kid still eat too much?

He was about to slap this really lowly man with a straight face, but Zhang Shou suddenly said: "Eating too much hurts your body, it seems that Lu Sanlang, the organizer, is really not thoughtful enough." So many chefs are selected on the same day, all kinds of dishes are one after another, and the stomach of the judges is not open to the sea, and it is inevitable that there will be no taste after eating. ”

"Next time, at most ten people can participate in the selection at a time, and there can't be more, otherwise where will you taste it."

The emperor's original rebuke came to his lips, and at this time it immediately turned into an appropriation: "That's right, no matter how delicious things are, eating too much will become a burden!" ”

And Liu Zhiyuan and Lu Juan also finished drinking porridge at this time, and when they heard the emperor's words, they couldn't help but smile. Zhang Shou obviously found that more than 40 people participated in the competition on the first preliminary competition day on August 15, and a group of judges had a round belly, but he didn't say until today that he wanted to reduce the number of people who participated in the competition to single digits, which is really cunning.

In the first few preliminary rounds, there were many people involved, and everyone competed with each other to publicize, and the momentum was created, and when the semifinals and finals were few, the schedule would inevitably be prolonged, and the suspense concentrated on a small group of people could bring greater heat. And the most important thing is that the emperor is obviously already interested, maybe he will come again and again!

When Lu Juan found out that he and Liu Zhiyuan were really smiling too tacitly, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he figured it out in an instant.

This is not the severed head Liu who used to work with him in the military department, and he obviously does not plan to return to officialdom now, but plans to team up with him, and it is a good thing to have a tacit understanding! So, Lord Shangshu of the former military department immediately coughed lightly and said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, Weichen only feels that his stomach is full now, and he can't eat anything. ”

And at this moment, Wu Ge Lao, who was not humming just now, also smiled and nodded: "Although Song Juren's porridge is light, it is really late. The greasy is the greasy, but it also fills the last bit of space in the old minister's stomach. In terms of taste, you can give him a high score, but from the perspective of his original intention to relieve his appetite, he can only give him a low score. ”

In the end, it was Lu Juan and Wu Mian who said what I wanted to say for me!

The emperor's face was pale at this time. Especially when he saw Song Juren's face was embarrassed and aggrieved, he felt that he was in a very good mood. So that you kid not only dare to argue with Princess Yongping, but also dare to laugh at me!

When today, he smiled happily: "There are several things that Zhang Qing just said, let's do them one by one first." First of all, several streets near this Xinglong Tea House are all separated from the original Li Fang, which is called ...... Hing Lung Fang. I inscribed, turn around and let Lu Saburo pay for the archway! As for public schools...... Now that you have enough money, let's build it. Journal and business newspaper, each issue sent to the palace to me first! ”
