"Why didn't you wear the clothes I gave you?" The wooden door of Wen's house opened again, Chef Wen and his daughter came out, one was glamorous, the other was simple but couldn't conceal the brilliance of beauty! Ren Yue was puzzled and asked in surprise.
"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for your kindness! It's just a cooking competition. No matter how high the standard is, it's just wandering around in front of the stove. It's full of oily smoke, so I still wear my own clothes. I'd better wear those good clothes when I can't cook. . " With a gentle and natural smile, the two small dimples on his face are very lovely.
"Hehe." Ren Yue snorted a few words, and then he didn't insist on a gentle change of clothes. After all, this is the Wen girl he knew.
"Ren San, I'm afraid the clothes you sent don't fit you well! Miss Wen is deliberately saving face for you! Hahahaha!" Sheng Yaoshan smiled sourly from the side.
"Hmph!" Ren Yue ignored Sheng Yaoshan at all, just shook the reins lightly, and Yingxue carried him forward leisurely.
does not fit? ! Even in a dream, Miss Wen's figure is also deeply imprinted in Ren Yue's mind, with every frown, smile, and gesture, it is clearly rooted in Ren Yue's heart.
"Chef Wen, Ms. Wen, I have ordered people to go to help you in today's chef selection competition! Although the competition is open and fair, we can't lose to others in terms of momentum! Chef Wen and Ms. Wen just go For the competition and the rest of the field, leave it to me, Sheng Yaoshan!" Seeing that Ren Yue remained silent for a long time, Sheng Yaoshan patted his chest triumphantly.
Wu Kui's unrestrained and boldness has long been revealed in his gestures!
"General Sheng, General Sheng, please take care!" Wen Shouzheng thanked him, and hurried into the carriage that Master Qiao had already prepared.
Along the way, although the tension of the game was still in his heart, Wen Shouzheng was still struggling with the title Ren Yue just called. "Uncle Wen!"
This young man from a famous family has always been unattainable. Although he is born as elegant as jade, he can be polite under his appearance. But there is always some cold arrogance that rejects people thousands of miles away.
It is a great gift to call me "Chef Wen" on weekdays, but now I have been called "Uncle Wen!" twice in a row!
This kind of change is so familiar. Wen Shouzheng, who is used to being called "Chef Wen", is not used to it!
Thinking wildly all the way, before I knew it, I had arrived at the scene of the competition!
On a large open space in the capital, several stoves have already been set up, lined up horizontally and vertically, very imposing!
Next to each stove, there are corresponding stoves, chopping boards, woks and soup pots, and of course some kitchen utensils.
Lord Shangshan Zhengwei and Lord Shangshan Fuqu from the Imperial Dining Room, along with the well-known gourmet judges in the capital, had already been waiting in the waiting pavilion, waiting for all the chefs to arrive. The game officially begins!
The drum sounded at the time of Chen, and chefs from all over the world entered the venue in an orderly manner.
"There are so many people!" Rourou jumped off the carriage and muttered softly.
"Didn't you always think that you wanted to win the competition and enter the palace? Are you afraid?" Ren Yue dismounted gracefully, and slowly approached Wen Rou.
"Who's scared? I'm just talking casually, what is this small scene! I've seen the formation of thousands of cavalry!" Rourou responded softly.
"Oh? You are a weak woman, where have you seen any cavalry of thousands of troops, talking big is not your style!" Ren Yue smiled indifferently.
"I... Didn't I go out with the army before..." Wen Rou looked awkward, and quickly prevaricated.
Sheng Yaoshan stood aside with a smile on his face, as if Miss Wen's companionship with the army was vividly remembered every day and night.
It's just that Ren Yue's face is serious, the Sheng family army indeed has thousands of people. But it wasn't an iron cavalry either. If Miss Wen said she had seen it, it was probably only in her dreams. Liu Zhang led three thousand iron cavalry and black armored cavalry, standing on horseback. On that snowy night, with swords, guns, swords and halberds, the cold light... I and Sheng Yaoshan who had lost their martial arts tried their best, but they were still defeated by Liu Zhang. The fierce arrows fired by ten thousand arrows, Miss Wen, dressed in water-colored clothes, fell slowly in the rain of arrows Down…
These clear scenes, Ren Yue spent countless nights of headaches, and recorded them in the book one by one following the painful memories. On weekdays, I study carefully, looking for clues. Gradually, I figured out some clues.
Although Ruan never told Ren Yue about the past life, with Ren Yue's efforts. Some things are still becoming clearer.
Just like today, Wenrou just casually said a thousand soldiers and cavalry, and Ren Yue suddenly remembered the scene in his dream!
How does she know? Unless the dream is real! Unless she has really experienced life and death!
Suddenly, Ren Yue remembered the pulse that he had checked for Wen Rou several times by accident!
The mysterious and unpredictable pulse, although the body is not damaged in any way, has already revealed that the heart that has been severely injured, the heart that is riddled with holes, although rebirth is beating vigorously in the chest, it cannot hide the past that it has experienced. life and death!
"Chef Wen, Ms. Wen, let's go, don't worry about the competition! Come on! We must win!" Sheng Yaoshan urged from the side, and smiled as he signaled Wen's father and daughter to join the queue.
"Father, let's go!" Rourou called Wen Shouzheng, and the moment she was about to enter the arena, she looked back at Ren Yue and Sheng Yaoshan outside the arena, through their shoulders, Wenrou also saw Cai Mi who came to watch the match, and also There are Mrs. Zhou, Wen Ting, and of course Mr. Song Tao, whom I haven't seen for a long time, and others...
"Hey, look, that girl is the only girl Wen on the imperial list for this year's competition!"
"That's right! She is really the only girl in the entire arena!"
"But seeing how weak she is, I'm afraid she can't even handle the pot!"
"Don't be noisy, those who can participate in the selection of chefs in the capital are all good ones, this Miss Wen must have something special about her!"
"Miss Wen is such a beauty! Alas, it's a pity to become a cook... If you are really selected into the palace to be a concubine, why should you suffer so much?"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
The crowd of onlookers began to express their opinions on the only female contestant this year!
"Rou'er, come on! You must win the first place in the competition!" Although he didn't mention it to Rourou just now, at this moment, Ren Yue still said silently in his heart.
"The audience is silent!" An official with the appearance of a master of ceremonies had a serious expression, and his sharp eyes examined the chefs from all over the place who had entered the venue!
Suddenly, his eyes fell on Wen Rou who was standing aside. Pause, pause for a moment, eyes full of complex expressions. Surprise, doubt, surprise, joy, pity, encouragement.
"I invite the judges of today's competition to enter the venue! Lord Shangshan Zhengwei, Shangshan Fuqu, senior gourmet judges from the capital..." Following the introduction of the master of ceremonies, all the adults entered the competition venue in an orderly manner.
Pairs of harsh looking eyes. Skip every participating chef with a chill.
Although it is midsummer.
"Listen up, chefs! This year's chef selection competition is divided into three rounds! It is a knockout round! The last five people in each round will be eliminated, and the remaining people will use the point system. The last remaining people will stay in the palace and accept the emperor's personal test. The highest one is the top of this year's competition! During the competition, you can use your own knives or the knives on the table, do you understand?" The emcee's voice was like a bell!
"Understood!" All the chefs responded in unison!
Unexpectedly, the chef selection competition in the capital was so cruel. In total, there were only 20 people participating, and it was still a knockout match. After three rounds, 15 people had to be eliminated. In the end, there were only five people left. It was originally a battle of elites, but in the end it really became a rarity!
Wen Rou secretly sighed in her heart!
"Okay! Since ancient times, it has been said that food is the most important thing for the people, and thousands of meals are eaten by thousands of people. That being the case, the title of this first competition is 'Li Min'! The ingredients that everyone needs are all around them. In the basket, you can choose arbitrarily, and you can choose the form of dishes. The competition time is one hour! The gong sounds, the competition starts, and the gong sounds again, the competition is over! Those who exceed the time limit will be eliminated immediately!" The master of ceremonies said loudly.
Limin? What kind of subject is this? All the chefs fell into deep thought.
"Cang!" A grand gong sounded.
Everyone's contemplation was broken, and after a while of frantic selection of ingredients, their respective stoves were ignited one after another.
Limin
This topic is really unusual in the ordinary! It really is the selection of the elite of the capital!
What are we going to do
Rourou also fell into deep thought for a moment, the gong had finished and everyone was busy, but she still stood there blankly. No action at all.
On Thursday, the sea is peaceful, and the people of Li live and work in peace and contentment. The industrious people of Dazhou work day after day and live a seemingly ordinary life all day long! Such a plain routine of the people. I really can't think of anything that can be used as a meal for the "Limin" exam.
"Miss Wen! What are you doing! Hurry up! There is only one hour in the game! Every minute and every second is rare for a delicious game that relies on time to win!" Sheng Yaoshan tightly clenched his fists, mouth He kept muttering.
"Rou'er, what are you thinking? You must win the game! I know you can do it, you can do it!" Ren Yue called out in his heart.
In the food basket, there are all kinds of common fruits and vegetables, all kinds of fresh meat, and in the water basin next to the basket, there are all kinds of live fish swimming happily.
There are also all kinds of rice noodles and miscellaneous grains, all displayed in their own jars, quietly waiting to be selected.
"Limin", no matter how poor or poor, no matter where they came from, they eat three meals a day, no matter whether the housewife is proficient in cooking or not, even if the dishes of each meal change, the protagonist of the table is the eternal staple food - rice or noodles !
Tenderness secretly speculates...
Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be lit up by something, and she bent down quickly, and her white and slender fingers lightly passed through the jars containing the staple food, the crystal clear rice flowed from the fingers, white as snow Flour slips through fingers…
Cai Mi wears a very low hood on her head, the hood is lowered, her eyes are curved, as if she is smiling.
"Staple food!" Sheng Yaoshan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say!
In the eyes of Sheng Yaoshan, the staple food, which is so common that it can be ignored, is nothing more than rice, or steamed into steamed buns, steamed buns, or pancakes. In any case, I can't think of it, Miss Wen can use these staple foods to challenge the first round of the Beijing chef selection competition!
"Rou'er! Don't you want to use this kind of simple rice and noodles to deal with the trials in the capital?" Ren Yue thought to himself, he had never been so nervous before, even his beautiful lips couldn't help but tense bitten together.
At this moment, gentleness is not disturbed by everything around her at all, and she is completely devoted to her obsessed paper. Carefully wash the rice and miscellaneous grains, and finely sift the pure white flour.
Even when tenderly preparing the main course, other chefs have also started their own creations!
No matter how everyone understands the essence of the "Li Min" exam question, the speed in everyone's hands is comparable to each other.
Some people cut and chop all kinds of meat into shredded meat of the same size, length, thickness and thickness, marinate them with various seasonings, then carve pumpkins into exquisite cups, fry these kinds of marinated shredded meat, and serve them again. Put it in the pumpkin bowl, put it on the drawer again to steam...
Some people eat four fish, cold fish skin, fried fish slices, fish head soup, braised fish tail...
Someone cooked beef tongue carefully, stacked slices, and then surrounded by carved cucumbers, with a little crimson green in it, like a blooming peony, which is amazing...
Some people stir-fry fish maw, some burn sea cucumber with scallions, some brew shark fin...
All of a sudden, there was a burst of fragrance in the venue of the competition, no matter the color or shape, it made people move their index fingers!
