Chapter 490: Carry out the mouth to the end
After more than 20 dishes were served, in the special kitchen under the Xinglong Tea House, most of the chefs naturally didn't want to stay here and suffer from the fire again, and had already left to a special place to rest, and the ratings of those dishes, including the emperor's scores, whether it were those who left to rest, or the chefs who were still fighting at this time, all listened to them in their ears and remembered them in their hearts.
Therefore, the chef who is preparing a few kung fu dishes is anxious, but he can't help but cheer himself up in his heart. But at this moment, someone who was slowly stirring in the casserole with a spoon, although the song that you was humming just now had stopped, but at this time, he poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
"Cough, there are already more than 20 dishes, the emperor is afraid that he will be full for a long time, even if the delicacies of the mountains and seas are sent in a while, whether he can still eat them, it is not good."
Speaking of this, Song Juren noticed that the eyes around him were like pins and needles, he knew that he was speechless, and then he snorted and arched his hand with a smile at everyone: "You just think I am idle and have nothing to talk about...... Ahem, anyway, with my three-legged cat skills, it is absolutely impossible to break through the rematch. I wish you all a good outcome. ”
"Fortunately, this time it's thirty into fifteen, and the probability of five or five open. It's much more likely to win than in the preliminary round. ”
Song Juren has already shown that he is not an opponent, and those chefs are depressed, but they can only choose not to care about people in general - this wonderful chef is just lifting people, and now people are hiding in the house of Dr. Zhang Shou, who is a hot doctor in the capital, and even the family surnamed Song can't do it if they want to bring people back, what else can they do with people?
And at this time, a chef who was separated from Song Juren by a few people, as if he was not angry, and as if to express his depression in his heart, suddenly sighed deeply: "What a miscalculation, I knew that this Buddha jumping over the wall was such a waste of time, so I changed to other dishes!" ”
Originally, people were just self-comforting and complaining, but Song Juren couldn't help but say cheaply again: "Buddha jumping over the wall is not a home-cooked meal, right?" There is abalone, sea cucumber, fish lip maw, scallop mushroom, hoof tendon...... Ahem, there are so many types of precious ingredients that I can't count them, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are complete, where is the homely cooking? ”
Although they are both Cantonese, the chef who spoke wanted to beat Song Juren, a guy with many tongues, to death at this time!
For today's game, he temporarily prepared a lot of recipes, and he most hoped to use this Buddha jumping over the wall. After all, this is the name of a dish that Taizu casually mentioned during his southern tour, and the ingredients were also mentioned, but after all, it was not made because of insufficient preparation and too many delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the eloquent founding monarch did not eat it, so this is very symbolic.
And this time the Imperial Chef Selection Competition, all the ingredients needed in the schedule are purchased by the master of ceremonies and supervisors, and the original rumors are mainly simple to avoid excessive expenses, but the conference halls are very good at exploiting loopholes, and before the second preliminary day, they all figured out a way, that is, to donate money, and then send the list of ingredients they need.
Originally, this would inevitably become a method of fraud, but Chu Kuan, the master of ceremonies, personally checked it, and all the donated money was sent to the public school except for the purchase of ingredients, so after Song Huishou donated a large sum of money in his own Guangdong hall this time, he knew in advance that the series of delicacies and delicacies he needed, not to mention, had all been purchased in place, and all of them had been prepared.
When he knew that the emperor was coming and announced the exam questions, he had made up his mind that he could be a Buddha jumping over the wall. Anyway, it is very likely that there will be no Cantonese people in today's judges, and they may not know what is in the Buddha jumping over the wall, whether it is home-cooked or not.
Just turn around and send that carefully prepared can of soup, and all the ingredients in it are left, who knows how? As long as the emperor can praise it......
Because of this, when he was just choosing the ingredients, he still desperately squeezed in front, and finally managed to get these things. But now all of them have been exposed by this nasty surname Song!
Seeing that the other chefs were all looking at him with rather strange eyes, Chef Chen, who was already angry, pretended to be calm and said: "How can the home cooking of the heavenly family be compared with the common people? Shouldn't these things you said be the most commonly used in the royal family? ”
However, today's Song Juren seems to be vowing to carry out the cheapness to the end. He smiled directly and said disapprehantly: "People outside often speculate about what kind of life the royal family has. Some people in the field speculated that the emperor Lao'er drank soy milk, drank a bowl and poured a bowl, and the white flour steamed buns were enough every day, because he had never eaten anything better. ”
"Some people who claim to be knowledgeable guess that the dragon liver and phoenix marrow in the palace every day, the water that runs in the sky and the ground, can be used in the dish. But whose stomach can stand to eat this every day? Miss Zhu is a person who often enters the palace, she has never eaten less in the palace, and she has complained before that the imperial dining room managed by Guanglu Temple in the past is simply like pig food. ”
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Now that there is a shortage of chefs in the imperial dining room, the Queen Mother feels sorry for the emperor, so she transferred two cooks from her small kitchen. The Queen Mother has always been thrifty, and she is mainly vegetarian on weekdays, so the emperor often has a variety of healthy vegetarian foods these days, and sometimes stewing some ginseng and chicken soup is considered a tonic, fortunately, it is not Guanglu Temple Guan who buys it now, otherwise the price of live chickens and eggs is ridiculously expensive......"
Song Juren was originally going to go on, but when he found that the expression of the chef next to him was obviously wrong, as if he was going to rush over and beat him to death, he smiled and closed his mouth again.
But he didn't speak, the unlucky Chef Chen, who was waiting for the Buddha to jump over the wall and stew, couldn't suppress his anger at all.
He glared at Song Juren viciously, and said word by word: "Song Gongzi, even if you know the news in the palace, you can casually take it out and show off, is it a royal taboo?" ”
Leaking the forbidden Chinese language, that's a big crime! If I can't be the imperial chef, I won't let you have a good time!
Song Juren just because what he is doing now is grinding kung fu, and he has no sense of expectation for the future of breaking through the rematch, and he is not like the gains and losses on the first day, so he can't help but show his temper when he was in a-for-tat confrontation with Fang Qing in the past, but he forgot that the group in front of him are all chefs who have been staying by the stove for decades, not a stunned young man like Fang Qing.
At this moment, he had already planned to stop fighting, but suddenly being buttoned down by such a big hat, the mind of the people who had just calmed down was suddenly gone, and he immediately sneered at each other angrily: "What kind of leakage is this, when the emperor thoroughly inspected Guanglu Temple before, he once openly criticized the bad diet in the palace over the years. ”
"As for the eating habits of the Queen Mother, it was known to everyone in the early years, you don't know that it is because you are lonely and unheard!"
Speaking of which, Chef Chen finally didn't want to endure it. Even if the other party was Song Huishou's nephew, even if the other party was a meritorious person, he still picked up the long spoon and rushed towards Song Juren with a roar. Seeing this scene, Song Juren naturally reacted very quickly and ran away, and continued to talk cheaply while running.
"The gentleman doesn't move his hands! Chef Chen, as a chef, you are too unlucky! How to cook a good dish without gas! ”
"Lao Tzu just has no gas today! Even if I fight to get a knife, I have to beat you to death this hairless stinky boy! ”
The other chefs were shocked, some were happy, and some were gloating and sneering beside them, but when they found that Chef Song was running around their stove, thinking that the food they had painstakingly made was still in the pot, and if it was destroyed by the angry Chef Chen, it would be more than worth the loss, and several chefs immediately hurriedly stepped forward to intercept it.
After all, there were many people with great strength, and as someone quickly snatched the spoon from Chef Chen's hand, two more people stopped people from behind and one from the front, and finally stopped Chef Chen, who was already going crazy.
However, people stopped him, but Chef Chen, who was panting, still couldn't help but shout and scold.
"The surname is Song, you are less proud! You are dignified but you come to grab jobs with us chefs, you don't know how to be ashamed, and you ignore your family's cultivation of you! ”
"Don't you just know how to make some sugar water? What's the big deal, there are not 10,000 or 8,000 people in Guangdong who can make sugar water, and others just don't have the opportunity for you to come to the capital! You don't have a handsome little white face, and you were angry with the princess when you first met, and you want to rely on this little skill to go crooked and evil in the capital, but there is no door! ”
This time, it became Song Juren himself who was so angry that his face turned blue. But he was about to regain his strength and scold back, when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice outside: "Song Gongzi, haven't you cooked this dish yet?" ”
Song Juren was slightly stunned, and followed the prestige, only to see that the door was the little eunuch who summoned him under the banner of Princess Yongping on the last preliminary match day.
Seeing that people glanced at the others as if they were curious, the big kitchen that was still noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and he was not sure if people had seen the absurd scene just now, and suddenly had a fever on his face.
He hurried back to the stove, first carefully opened the pot and looked at it a few times, and then stirred it gently with a delicate silver spoon, and when he saw that it was almost done, he hurriedly added chopped green onions, and used a soft cloth to pad his hands, and brought the huge casserole from the top of the fire.
Immediately after, he rubbed his hands and smiled honestly at the little eunuch who slowly stepped forward: "I just boiled some casserole porridge, because I didn't use ready-made broth, but boiled it myself before, so I delayed a little time." ”
When he saw the little eunuch appear, Chef Chen already realized that he was summoned by the princess on the day of the preliminary competition, and it is said that he had a big quarrel with the princess later, but Song Juren, who lived in Zhang Yuan in a grand manner, did have a greater advantage than himself in the upper echelons. But when he heard that Song Juren was making casserole porridge, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts.
"Just now Song Gongzi also said that the dishes I make are not homely, is it difficult for you to make this casserole porridge very homely? In the Cantonese casserole porridge, that pot of broth costs a lot of money, not to mention the seafood and meat that will be added later...... Do you dare to tell me how much you put in this pot of porridge? Hmph, you don't need to say it, all of them are registered when you pick up the ingredients! ”
Song Juren smiled at this time, and glanced at Chef Chen contemptuously: "You people only know that ingredients are precious to be rare, how do you know that there is a saying in the world, that is, turning decay into magic!" ”
As he spoke, he cocked his chin, looking too lazy to say anything to you, and no matter how angry Chef Chen was, he put the casserole on the plate by himself. When he was about to reach out and serve it himself, the little eunuch had already snatched the plate.
"I'll send it to the third floor, but I see that although the casserole is big, if it is really porridge, it will be distributed to so many people, but I am afraid that no one will be able to share a spoonful."
"Haha, hahaha." This time, it was Song Juren's turn to laugh dryly. He didn't need to look at it to know what the other chefs at this time, especially Chef Chen, thought of himself, but he could only say very humbly, "It was only after I finished boiling the soup that I remembered that there were nearly 100 guests upstairs and downstairs, and even if the soup was all boiled porridge, I am afraid it would not be enough." In short, I'm all about participation, and it's all about participation......"
Realizing that Song Juren was really just focusing on participation, some of the other chefs were relieved, and some of them couldn't help but look at Chef Chen, who was provoked by Song Juren to lose his temper in public with a few words. And Chef Chen saw that the little eunuch actually called Song Juren to send food to the third floor with him, and he himself even regretted his intestines.
said that the Buddha jumped over the wall and wanted to show off the so-called Taizu's legacy recipes, but it caused a commotion!
The hatred is settled quickly, and the forgetting is faster, which is what he is talking about is a person like Song Juren. When he entered the first floor of the Xinglong Tea House, the dispute in the big kitchen had been left behind by him, and when he went up to the second and third floors, he underwent the baptism of collective attention again and again, and he didn't remember the trivial dispute at all, and he only cared about being nervous.
And when he met the emperor in person and saluted, he saw that the emperor listened to the little eunuch's explanation that the amount of porridge in the casserole was not enough, so that it was not enough, and when he looked up at him, Song Juren, who had always been stupid and bold, couldn't help but sweat on his vest.
He didn't know if it was his delusion...... Anyway, he felt that there was murder in the emperor's eyes when he looked at him!
The emperor is indeed murderous, one is that after his belly is half full, he was aroused by the drama planned by Zhang Shou, and after seeing the first issue of the journal and the business newspaper, he sniffed the business opportunities behind it, but also noticed the hidden dangers. The second is...... When he thought that it was the incomprehensible man in front of him who made his baby daughter angry, he was not happy.
So, he glanced down at the casserole that had not yet been uncovered, and then said lightly: "Since you didn't make enough portions, does that mean that you don't want to be this imperial chef in your heart?" I didn't want to be an imperial chef but came to participate in the imperial chef audition, when I heard about it before, I thought it was a strange story...... Hehe, okay, come over here and give me a bowl. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Song Juren was full of panic, the emperor smiled and showed a few shiny little white teeth: "If it's really good, it's fine, if it's not good...... Hehe! ”
