Chapter 384: God Help Me Too
Hao Mingyue was making some preparations, but Ru Feng quietly walked behind her, slightly mysteriously, and forced a note into her hand.
Hao Mingyue is used to such small actions as Confucianism, and he often buys her some small gifts and gives her some small surprises, intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes he stuffed her with a beautiful golden hairpin, sometimes a delicious snack, and sometimes a beautiful garment.
However, Hao Mingyue's gift to him, the front foot just sent over, basically the back foot, let them sleep on the side or give it to the maid next to him.
Because Hao Mingyue thought that his behavior was extremely naΓ―ve, and seeing him repeat his old tricks, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Senior brother, don't make trouble, the game is about to start, you can't be serious." β
Ru Feng put his hand to his mouth and said slightly mysteriously: "Shhh, don't make a noise, this is today's topic, the master has already listed the recipe for us, let's just do this." β
When Hao Mingyue heard this, her face couldn't help showing some joy, and she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "My father got it, is this reliable?" It's not that many of the judges who came this time were invited from outside, and a few were from there. β
The two of them were very close to each other, and as soon as Rufeng lowered his head, he could easily see Hao Mingyue's snow-white neck and small earlobes, as well as her towering little breasts.
She was lowering her head, looking at the ingredients and methods on the paper, and from his perspective, Ru Feng could see that there was a faintly deep hook under the uplifted clothes on her chest.
That dazzling white color made his ears blush and his heart beat, and he couldn't help but grasp Hao Mingyue's hand. said softly: "Senior sister, don't worry, we will definitely win this time." When we win, I will tell the master that I want to propose to you. β
Hao Mingyue was standing with him at the moment, and when she looked up, she saw his handsome face, looking at herself affectionately. But the children's family affairs were told by him so openly, and she was still shy. Then she said angrily: "You idiot, our affairs, you can't think of something serious before you have a word." I know the love of children all day long, when you also do something that a man should do. β
When Hao Mingyue heard that Wang Qi went to join the army for Yang Ruo, and it was the most remote and dangerous front line, she was very envious when she heard it.
Although I don't know what the result will be, whether he will be able to earn fame as he wishes, but this courage and action is not something that ordinary people can do.
She actually doesn't have any deep hatred for Yang Ruo, it's nothing more than jealousy between women. Jealous that she is smarter than herself, luckier than herself, even the man she fancies likes to revolve around her.
She even often wonders when she has that kind of love. Some people are willing to risk life and death for her, holding her like stars and moons, and treating their lives as treasures. Unlike Confucianism, which circles around itself like a fly all day long, there is no big ideal at all.
Seeing Hao Mingyue say this, Ru Feng couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved on his face, "I came here for you." And I take care of you and guard you every day, and other women don't take a second look. I'm so good to you, it's too late for others to envy me, and you even say that I didn't do what a man should do. Do you want to say that Wang Qi went to join the army for that girl? β
"Yes, Wang Qi is better than you." Hao Mingyue couldn't help but say.
Ru Feng couldn't help sneering and said, "He is powerful, from a commander to the position of a general." What a pity? β
"He, he made it to the Great General?" Hao Mingyue couldn't help but show an unbelievable look on her face.
Ru Feng saw her surprised expression, and secretly hated why he owed so much in his mouth, why did he tell her.
"I almost did it. It's a pity that he doesn't have that blessing to enjoy, and now his life and death are unknown. For the sake of a woman, he lost his life. You say that men are stupid or not. β
Hao Mingyue then took Ru Feng's arm and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "Senior brother, what is the situation, you said come and tell me, why is he going to die?" β
Rufeng's news here was all obtained from his cousin Song Yin. So when he saw Hao Mingyue counting himself, he couldn't help but shake this thing out.
"I told you yes, but don't talk about it outside. It's not good if you say something wrong and cause unnecessary trouble. β
Hao Mingyue felt like she had been scratched by a cat, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't say a word to others." β
Ru Feng nodded at this time, and said to her 1510.
After hearing this, Hao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and her face showed a look of yearning, she suddenly felt that Wang Qi was the most perfect man in her heart, even more perfect than that little marquis.
It's a pity that I'm going to die.
Hao Mingyue couldn't help but glance at the opposite side, although she couldn't see the situation on the other side now, she could also imagine what kind of wonderful expression the woman on the other side would have when she learned the news that Wang Qi was going to die.
Hao Mingyue read the note in her hand carefully, then crushed it and threw it into the waste ditch. Now that the proof is gone, don't blame her if she accidentally wins.
If someone leaks this news to her during the game, it must work well. Who would be better to let them come forward?
Hao Mingyue couldn't help but think in her heart.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she immediately thought that she had met Qin'er at the gate of the academy that day, and when she saw herself, she looked like she wanted to say something.
She knew that Qin'er liked Shen Mu, but that Shen Mu was close to Yang Ruo.
Hmph, Hugh is going to blame me this time.
Yang Ruo, you won't always be so lucky.
Hao Mingyue snorted coldly in her heart.
Then the judges took their seats and were taken to the judges' seats. Wang Fuzi, Zheng Cong and others also came to the scene.
However, what made everyone feel strange was that one of the judges' seats was set aside, and they couldn't see the people inside, but they saw that the outside was pulled by a curtain, and two pretty maids, standing aside, blinded everyone's eyes.
Everyone walked back and forth, and they couldn't help but glance at the judges' seats over there.
There are also people who don't have long eyes and want to come forward and ask who this person is and why they are so mysterious. The shopkeeper Hao said that this person was a distinguished guest from Kyoto.
When everyone saw the people inside, they didn't want to reveal their identities, and they couldn't force it, so they had no choice but to give up.
After Shen Mu and Qin'er arrived here, they didn't expect there to be so many people here. Originally, he planned to talk to Yang Ruo for a few words, but thinking that he hadn't seen her for a few days, he couldn't help but feel some excitement and nervousness in his heart.
Because he was afraid of burdening her, he thought that he would simply wait for her to finish the game today and then meet her.
After Shen Mu arrived here, a small servant had already reserved a seat for them, and his eyes swept around, and he suddenly saw two pretty maids standing there, not squinting.
He couldn't help but say in surprise: "Hey, aren't those two girls Ginkgo and Yinshuang?" β
Qin'er followed Shen Mu's line of sight, and immediately saw them, seeing that they were two extremely beautifully dressed maidservants, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Isn't it true that the son and the master behind the curtain man know each other?"
The maidservants are so beautiful, the young lady must not be there.
So she asked with half curiosity: "Does Childe know them?"
Shen Mu nodded affirmatively and replied. "Well, I guess I know each other."
At any time, he asked the little maids on the side why they were sitting on the judges' seat, and the little guy replied: "I heard that the young lady there is a distinguished guest from Kyoto, and she is to save face for the shopkeeper Hao." β
Shen Mu's brows couldn't help frowning, could it be that Miss Wang and Shopkeeper Hao knew each other.
No wonder she said that she would come to Xijing, and said that she wanted him to have a treat.
It's just that she came to Xijing, but she didn't let herself be treated, could it be that she wanted to avoid suspicion with them because of the food.
Before Shen Mu had time to think about it, he heard two "bells" on the side, a very loud gong, and then he also withdrew his gaze.
When everyone heard the gong, they immediately knew that the game was about to start, so they all turned their eyes to the middle.
But when he saw that the gong sounded, the invigilator who presided over the competition stood up and slowly walked to the high platform in front. I saw that this person was about fifty years old, he was wearing a crimson blue robe, a crown of hair, and his body was not very tall, but his face was majestic.
It is rumored that this person has been in charge of many Xijing competitions, and he is relatively old-fashioned and extremely strict. I can't rub the slightest sand in my eyes.
Therefore, he stood up, walked to the stage, and when he looked down with his usual sharp eyes, he saw the originally noisy scene, and suddenly became much quieter.
He made a gesture with his hand not to speak, and then said loudly with a full sense of energy: "Welcome to all of you, the triennial Xijing Race Cuisine Competition officially begins today. Let me tell you about the rules of the game. Participants in the competition can compete as long as they pass the exam we set in front of us.
The competition lasts for three days, one game per day, and there is a time limit, and the time for cooking each time is one hour.
After an hour, if the dishes are not completed according to the requirements, they will be considered eliminated.
In the end, we will implement the scoring method, and in the end, we will see who has the most positive reviews, and whoever will be the winner. The winner will receive the gold medal of the emperor's imperial chef in the world, and will also get a silver reward from the imperial court. β
After the invigilator had said a lot of things, he finally got to the point, only to see him wave his big hand, and immediately someone brought up a small wooden box and a small tabletop.
After the table was placed, the small box was placed on the table of the house.
The people below couldn't help but stick their heads out when they saw the wooden box that had been brought up, and their eyes showed curiosity. Whispering guesses about what's inside the box.
But I saw the invigilator say, "Everyone, don't be impatient, please listen to me." In the past, we would use specific ingredients to make ironclad food. This year, let's take a different look. β
"What's the change?" Someone asked impatiently below.
The invigilator looked at the man with a slightly majestic gaze. said: "What's the hurry, the answer will be revealed soon." β
Seeing that person was rushed by the invigilator, the people on the side couldn't help but coax.
But listening to the invigilator's voice, he continued: "Next, please ask all the chefs who participated in the competition, and each family will send one person out to receive the questions. But this time, we did use the lottery method. There are ten sheets of paper inside, and on each piece of paper, each has an ingredient written on it.
Ask the chefs who have drawn the ingredients to make three to five kinds of dishes that will be the main dish in one hour. Those who exceed the time will be deemed to be eliminated. The winner will advance to tomorrow's match. β
As soon as these words came out, many people below suddenly shouted. "Okay, that's fair."
"Because there are a total of ten families participating in the competition, there are ten ingredients prepared for you in this wooden box, so each of you gets different ingredients."
So the people below asked again. "How can you tell the taste of different ingredients? And cooking, do those chefs cook three dishes or five dishes? β
The invigilator replied calmly: "Different dishes are actually easier to distinguish the taste." We just need it to taste good. There are also chefs who have to complete at least three dishes in one hour. This pressure will not be small. Of course, if you can complete more dishes, if you get good reviews, it will automatically add points to your total score. β
The two questions that the audience asked just now happened to be what the chefs wanted to ask. But the invigilator had already answered, so by the time the cooks came up and drew the questions, there were no more questions to ask.
Coincidentally, Yang Ruo walked to the stage from that side, not wanting Hao Mingyue to come up from the other side.
Seeing Hao Mingyue, Yang Ruo just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. After all, they all came out of the same academy.
Even if Yang Ruo didn't go to class in a serious way, but studied privately with Master Wang, he could be regarded as a member of Qingshan Academy.
I didn't want Hao Mingyue's expression to be stunned, but the expression when she looked at her was extremely strange.
Yang Ruo felt that there seemed to be a bit of sympathy in her eyes, as if she had expected that she would win herself.
is really an arrogant woman, she has experienced what happened in the Li Mansion last time, and she hasn't even learned her lesson. Isn't it someone in Kyoto?
Yang Ruo took the opportunity to look down, and saw Old Mrs. Yang and them at a glance. The women in the Yang family's inner house, when they saw Yang Ruo, kept waving the silk handkerchief in their hands at her.
