Little Chef

Chapter 61

Views:

Su Tang and Qi Tianyun walked on the road, which was actually quite eye-catching.

After all, Qi Tianyun is tall and handsome, and Su Tang is also a celebrity in West City.

But with Su Tang's reputation in Xicheng, everyone wouldn't talk nonsense.

If you make her unhappy, she can break everyone's jobs.

And Miss Su Tang is so nice.

He also introduced farmers who raise cattle to study in another farm. I heard that many farm households have increased their dairy cow production.

This is all thanks to Su Tang.

Su Tang didn't think so much, when she walked towards Song Boliang's store, she tried her best to keep a distance from Qi Tianyun.

Better not talk too much!

When the two arrived at the food store, Uncle Song brought over the dried mushrooms and sea cucumbers that he had prepared earlier, and said, "The prawns need to be fresh, so send them to the door of the God of Cooking Competition tomorrow morning."

Su Tang nodded.

She doesn't use these sea cucumbers for the time being. She hasn't used up the sea cucumbers that Jing Liang sent before. She just waits to use them for tomorrow's competition, and the timing is just right.

Soak these mushrooms as soon as you go back, and they can be used tomorrow.

As for the prawns.

If it wasn't for the awkward relationship with Jing Liang, there would be no need to ask Uncle Song.

Fortunately, Song Bo's business is doing very well now, and he can help her find all kinds of ingredients.

But when he went back, Qi Tianyun suddenly asked: "Why don't you ask that person from Jingshuilou for help?"

Su Tang looked at him: "You don't need to look for him."

"Oh, I thought something happened." Qi Tianyun said.

Su Tang subconsciously looked at Qi Tianyun again, seeing his eyes said everything.

Why does he know everything!

Qi Tianyun sent Su Tang back, and said, "I just happened to meet you just now, I'm off to work."

?

So when you see me, will you accompany me to buy mushrooms

Su Tang has just discovered it, and Qi Tianyun is not hiding it at all now!

How could there be such a person as him!

Su Tang's ears turned red, and Qi Tianyun suddenly said, "You really don't want to ask me what my name is? Who am I?"

Qi Tianyun immediately shook his head: "Don't ask, I don't want to know!"

It's fine now.

It's all the same anyway.

Knowing that she is Lord Hou, she will salute Qi Tianyun when she sees him, and pretend she doesn't know how good it is.

In fact, when Su Tang knew that Mr. Qi was the famous Marquis of Weiyuan, he was shocked for a long time.

But it's normal to think about it again.

A character like him looks different.

Even if Su Tang knew his identity, he didn't want to expose it. How nice it is for everyone to get along as a commoner!

Seeing her expression, Qi Tianyun was helpless.

Haven't encountered such a thing.

Others know his identity, so they must come to curry favor.

But only Su Tang avoided his identity, as if he was some kind of scourge.

But Qi Tianyun didn't stay long, he really had something to do.

Just now when he met Su Tang on the road, Su Tang obviously wanted to avoid him.

In this case, it is natural to keep up.

It's worth it if I can call Tangtang a few more words.

As for Jing Liang.

Qi Tianyun wasn't worried, didn't Tangtang avoid him all the time

Doesn't that explain why

There was a smile on the corner of Qi Tianyun's mouth, which made the officials around him feel a little apprehensive, why did you laugh, Lord Hou

Is there something we did wrong that made you unhappy

Su Tang prepared all the ingredients and put them in her special ice cream.

You can participate in the competition the next day. As usual, Su Jinhang is with his sister, and he wants to cheer for her!

I have to say that Bing Jian is really a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make so many delicious things.

But this kind of thing couldn't be used at all when Su Tang first arrived in Cang Qin country, and it was considered a luxury.

Now that she has money, she can cook more delicacies.

And the beginning of the sixth round of the God of Cooking Competition has spread to every corner of the capital.

There is no way, every time after the MasterChef competition, there will be new dishes, and they are the kind of new dishes that everyone is after.

And someone found out that the things that seem to be famous recently are made by someone who made fresh food.

Needless to say, Jingshui Tower and Zuixiao Tower.

There is also a mysterious dim sum shop in Dongcheng now, even the name is very mysterious.

What is it called Dream Pavilion

I heard that the dim sum here costs one tael of silver, and the smallest puff costs ten cents! And sell from ten!

My God, this money is enough for the people of Xicheng to live for a long time.

Everyone gets hungry when they think about it.

But it's useless to be greedy.

Guests who want to enter Dreamland Pavilion not only need to be rich, but also famous.

Those who are not high-ranking officials or relatives of the royal family really cannot enter.

As for the owner who runs the shop, I heard that his background is very deep and scary.

On the way to the God of Cooking Competition, Su Tang heard so many gossips along the way, and felt a little emotional.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't want everyone to eat dessert.

But cocoa, sugar, milk, these things are too expensive.

When can sugar beets be planted on a large scale, Cangqin will grow its own cocoa and raise more cows, so that ordinary people can afford it.

But these are beyond her control.

This thought just flashed across, maybe Qi Tianyun can do it

It seems that Qi Tianyun is working hard in this direction

Su Tang brought a basket of ingredients, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the God of Cooking Competition, he saw Huang Yuetong.

In the past, Huang Yuetong looked very happy, but today she was a little worried.

Seeing Su Tang, she said with a mournful face: "My father said that I must enter the top ten, otherwise I will not be allowed to go out for the next six months! I must chop vegetables at home every day!"

In today's competition, there were a total of 20 chefs, and only ten chefs were selected in the end, and the selection method has not been announced yet, so no one knows how to select.

But seeing that Shuntian Mansion attaches so much importance to it, the selection method will definitely not be that simple.

Su Tang comforted Huang Yuetong: "Your family has a long history, so you can definitely do it. You are also good at making banquet dishes for these requirements."

Huang Yuetong: "Because of this, my father gave me a death order. I must win. My brother is also watching today. It's really difficult."

Listening to Huang Yuetong's words, she knew that her family had a good relationship.

But Huang Yuetong's elder brother seems to be the imperial chef? She hasn't seen the royal chef yet.

As soon as they were about to enter the competition venue, they were stopped by someone. One of them handed out a sealed basket to wrap up all the ingredients and put a seal on it.

The guard who stuck the seal said: "Before the game starts, the people watching are not allowed to know what ingredients you are taking. The seal must be torn off when the game starts."

Why

Su Tang and Huang Yuetong couldn't figure it out, but they did it anyway.

Then, the two walked to the venue of the God of Cooking competition together.

I was instantly shocked by the newly built venue.

Just looking at it from a distance is nothing.

This will find that the floor tiles are replaced with new ones, and the white floor tiles look comfortable.

There are a total of 20 positions, and each position has an oven, two stoves, and a marble operating table.

There is even a simple ice room under the operating table, where ingredients can be stored.

There is also a water tank next to each table, and a guard will fill the water in the tank after a while.

That's twenty perfect kitchens.

The tents on both sides were also set up more reasonably, and a large open space in front was left empty, which should be for the common people to come in and watch.

Needless to say later, the officials of Shuntian Mansion will sit inside and watch the whole game.

The position of the middle game has also been raised a lot.

They cook in the middle, and everyone around can see it, without even pushing forward.

Su Tang looked at this scene, and a subconscious thought flashed in his heart.

Good guy!

It's not the game anymore!

It's the stage scene!

But who came up with the idea to make the God of Cooking Competition more and more entertaining.

It doesn't seem right to say that, the competition is still professional.

It just expanded its influence.

More people will follow this game.

Su Tang guessed right.

The God of Cooking Competition was organized by Mr. Pei, the prefect of the capital, to please Qi Tianyun, Marquis of Weiyuan.

If nothing else, it's just choosing a good cook.

The people in the capital don't care at all.

Unexpectedly, the popularity of the God of Cooking Competition has increased greatly because of a dish of steamed Sophora japonica.

What happened later was beyond everyone's expectations.

More people are willing to come and watch the game! Even the emperor was attracted.

This was something Mr. Pei did not expect, and then he changed his style and tried his best to make the competition better.

The God of Cooking Competition can be so prosperous, in fact, thanks to one person.

That is sugar.

The dishes that Su Tang made every time were unheard of, and the novel eating methods were imitated by many people.

Even when someone asked her for the recipe, she said it straight away.

I heard that the porridge made by many people in their homes is very delicious, and it seems that they all learned it from Su Tang.

The influence of the God of Cooking Competition has further increased, and Mr. Pei has to re-examine Su Tang.

But Master Hou ordered that no one should bother her.

Master Hou had already spoken, and everyone naturally listened, but the name Su Tang had long been remembered in their hearts.

I originally thought that the God of Cooking Competition could reach this level.

But seeing the sixth round of the competition, Lord Hou actually supervised the matter in person.

Think about what kind of official business Hou Ye did before

Either in charge of the military camp, or mobilizing the treasury, when is it time to supervise a small chef's competition!

But Lord Hou is eating much better now, I heard it is all thanks to Su Tang.

The servants of the Hou's mansion went to Su Tang's house to pick up food almost every day, and Mr. Pei was aware of these things.

He thought that Lord Hou was so concerned about this matter because of Su Tang.

It seems that Lord Hou is really satisfied with this little cook.

As for the matter of getting meals every day, Su Tang was also very helpless.

After receiving other people's banknotes and jade pendants, can you not do anything

Fortunately, it was time to cook her and his brother's meals, so he just made an extra portion for Qi Tianyun, so it didn't take much effort.

Unbeknownst to her, Su Tang, who was so popular in the MasterChef Competition because of her, was standing on the stage right now.

As soon as she came, she attracted many people's attention, not only her opponents, but also many people in the audience.

Many of them came early to occupy the venue, just to see what Su Tang was cooking today.

Will it be very novel.

"Su Tang, what are you doing today?"

"This can't be asked, right? They are going to compete."

"Miss Su Tang, come on."

"We are waiting to see what you cook!"

"Why are the ingredients sealed up, and everyone can't see what it is."

Listening to them talking, Su Tang somehow felt like going back to the video barrage.

But this is also normal. There are many loyal audiences in their modern chef competitions. There are not many entertainments in ancient times. It is normal for everyone to be curious about the novel dishes they make.

Su Tang replied with a smile: "You will know in a while, anyway, it is very fragrant, and you can't eat it."

?

The audience in the audience was not angry when Su Tang choked, they just found it funny.

Seeing Su Tang interacting with the people in the audience, other contestants also tried to speak, but unexpectedly the people watching were very enthusiastic, and many compliments were said as if they didn't want money.

This made many chefs who have been in the back kitchen for a long time blush.

Seeing this, the people are even happier!

Immediately start teasing.

At this time, the tents around the table were also full of people, obviously they all came to watch the excitement.

It is not easy for the capital to have such excitement to watch, everyone is willing to come here.

And eating this thing, who doesn't like it.

In the future, when we chat at the banquet, we won't be speechless.

Su Tang faintly felt that this competition seemed to be very different.

Seems like someone is making it a real event.

There are contestants, judges, spectators, and fun.

It's an attractive event.

It is estimated that when this God of Cooking Competition first started, no one thought that it would be so big.

After half a quarter of an hour, just at Si time, the gong on the court sounded, and the discussions off the court gradually died down.

Everyone realized that the sixth round of the God of Cooking Competition is about to begin!

There are now a total of 20 contestants on the field, who stand out from hundreds of chefs. Today, they will go through a two-hour competition and finally select ten winners.

Everyone knows these rules.

But what Pei Fu Yin said next was quite different.

Pei Fuyin said loudly: "There are ten judges at this time, and five of them are several counselors from the Ministry of Finance. They are already waiting in the next room. During this period, they are not allowed to enter or leave the room, and they cannot know what the contestants are doing. The dishes. After they came out, the dishes were put on the table in front. They didn’t know who made which dish, so they tasted the dishes made by the contestants, and then selected the winner. You can also see that the contestants Under the plates used for the first time, their respective names are written, and only after the results are given, can the names below be seen."

This method has also been used.

To put it bluntly, the judges are not allowed to know which chef made which dish, so as to reduce the possibility of cheating, and only judge success or failure by the color of the dish.

And the officials who came were all the household counselors.

Could it be that the game department also intervened

Pei Fu Yin continued: "The remaining five judges will be chosen among the common people!"

What

After Mr. Pei finished speaking, the people who were going to eat melons and watch the show were instantly stunned.

How can this be!

Are they going to be judges with the adults

There is such a thing in the world

There was an instant uproar in the field, and even the tents on both sides were a little commotion.

Since everyone came to watch the game, they must be interested in food.

Who doesn't want to taste delicious food, if they can be on stage as a judge, then they must be able to taste it!

Hearing the hustle and bustle below, Mr. Pei signaled to knock the gong a few more times to calm everyone down.

"So before the competition starts, the common people who want to be the judges have to come to the stage to draw lots. You also have to wait in the wing room. Only after all the contestants have cooked the dishes can you come out and choose ten dishes together with the ministers of the household department. They advance to the next round."

After Mr. Pei finished speaking, everyone immediately understood.

Why are all the contestants' baskets sealed, and even put all the ingredients in the small ice room, so that no one can find out what the contestants are bringing.

Such a method made Su Tang start to admire in his heart.

Guys, it's getting more and more entertaining!

No wonder they still put seals on the ingredients.

In the next competition, do we still have to draw blind box ingredients? That's more interesting.

The people in front of the stage and the people in the tents on both sides felt eager to try. The timid might not dare to go up to draw lots, but there are always bold ones.

Pei Fu Yin continued to speak loudly: "At the time of the half stick of incense, the common people who want to be judges can come to the stage. After the half stick of incense is over, everyone will draw lots in this box, and those who are drawn to write comments in the note, Just follow the guards and go to the wing room to drink tea first!"

Wow.

In the end go or not!

If they are drawn to be a judge, they will definitely not be able to watch the competition process.

But you can eat delicious food, and you can choose your favorite dishes!

Really tangled!

Seeing that the half stick of incense has been lit, those who want to sign up must hurry up, otherwise it will be too late!

"I'm going to draw lots. Old man, I have eaten all over the country. If there is such a good thing, why not go."

"Master Fu Yin has said so, then it must be no problem for us to go, I will go too!"

"And me and me."

The common people came to the stage lively, and it felt different this time. The perspectives on the stage were different, and there were so many people watching them.

Oh my god, it turned out to be this feeling of being watched by everyone while cooking.

Not only the people in front came to the stage, but also the family members of many dignitaries and dignitaries in the tents also came out to join in the fun.

After half a stick of incense was burned out, more than 60 people came to the stage.

This is also the reason why many people were embarrassed to go on stage when the incident happened suddenly. After all, there are many people in the audience.

These sixty people began to draw lots under the supervision of Mr. Pei.

There were only five slips of paper with comments written on them, and those with blank slips would step down immediately, leaving only five people to be judges.

Many people began to get nervous, looking forward to their friends being able to draw, so they could try the dishes made by these twenty chefs!

I heard that all the dishes are cooked today.

Everyone stood on tiptoe, waiting for the results to come out.

The note was unfolded gently, and finally someone got a comment!

The first person to draw this word was a woman who came to make up the numbers. She didn't know how to read, but her note was not blank!

Can she be a judge

After checking, the little official beside Yin Fu Yin nodded and told the woman to follow him.

God!

This turned out to be true!

If an ordinary woman gets a note, she can be a judge!

I should have known they were there too!

This is the voice of many people.

The remaining drawers quickly unfolded the slips of paper in their hands.

"My God, it's blank! I really can't get it!"

"Ah, I got it! Review! I can be a judge!"

"No, go down and watch them cook."

"It's really difficult, I want to be a judge too."

There were more and more voices like this, and those with blank slips were asked to step down.

There were only five judges left on the stage, only one was the son of a wealthy businessman who came out of a tent, and the others were ordinary people in the capital.

The five of them were led by the guards, and went directly to the back room. They could not come out to taste until everyone present had finished cooking.

Of course, there will be no shortage of tea and snacks in the wing room.

All they have to do is wait.

Su Tang looked at the bustle and bustle on the stage, and felt pretty good in her heart.

In this way, the distance between the competition and the common people was shortened all of a sudden.

She can conclude that after this round of competition, the reputation of the God of Cooking Competition will be even louder, and there will definitely be more people coming to see it next time!

And the cooks and cooks on the stage are expected to receive more attention.

This is very interesting.

The instigator of these incidents will also be in the back room, but he is sitting here alone, approving official documents and listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Master Hou, the previous judges have been selected, and the competition will start in a while."

Qi Tianyun nodded: "Yes."

Shi Ding was beside him and asked strangely: "Why did you do this, is it to make Su Tang famous?"

Hearing that Su Tang was mentioned, Qi Tianyun raised his head and said with a light smile, "If she wants to be famous, she doesn't need me at all."

"Then if it's not for Su Tang, why do you have to mobilize people to do so many things?" Shi Ding asked strangely.

Qi Tianyun said slowly: "Open a business market."

Seeing that Shi Ding didn't understand, Qi Tianyun didn't say any more. If Su Tang was here, she would definitely understand what she meant.

Now the situation of the four battles has been decided, but it is only temporary. If you want the Western Regions and grasslands, the four places will be stable.

It is necessary to open a business market, and both sides will benefit, so there will be no war.

There are a large number of dairy cows, beef and mutton needed by Cangqin on the grassland.

There are various spices for cooking in the Western Regions.

And the Central Plains also has all kinds of food and salt they need.

Now there are quite a few people in the court who don't agree with the exchange market, and even the ships at sea are pressured by Qi Tianyun and let the fleet try to go a few times.

Qi Tianyun didn't want to argue with these people, he just wanted to let the common people know the benefits of these things.

Take milk for example. When Su Tang makes more milk products, the common people will naturally want to buy it. If everyone wants it, that is public opinion.

Public opinion cannot be violated, and some people in the court will make concessions if they do not make concessions.

Don't look at this method as cumbersome, but once and for all.

A lot of trouble can be solved without a single soldier.

Qi Tianyun inexplicably believed that if Su Tang was here, she would understand as long as he said a few words.

It's just that she will immediately pretend to be stupid, pretending that she doesn't understand anything.

So cunning.

If I didn't see it clearly, I'm afraid I would be fooled.

Qi Tianyun's purpose here today, one is to supervise the competition, and the other is to wait for the dishes made by Su Tang.

I don't know what surprises will come this time.

Qi Tianyun was looking forward to it.

On the table outside.

Pei Fuyin announced the start of the game, and the seals on everyone's baskets can be removed.

Su Tang moved nimbly, and immediately took out the duck in the ice mirror.

Started to cook the recipe she had prepared long ago.

The same goes for Su Tang's friends, Huang Yuetong, Jing Liang, Zhu Jinyuan and others.

Although the four of them were not next to each other, they still glanced at each other.

I don't know how many people they can stay in this competition.

But everyone is not worried about Su Tang.

With Su Tang's craftsmanship, everyone can only guess whether her dishes will be eaten up immediately, rather than worrying about being eliminated!

Su Tang didn't know that everyone had so much confidence in her, and carefully took the slaughtered duck to the chopping board.

Many cooks nearby saw this duck and couldn't help saying, "Duck meat? Duck meat is not easy to cook."

Su Tang was about to explain.

But the man looked at her and said directly: "Oh, you are Su Tang, it's okay, you can definitely cook delicious food."

After saying this, Su Tang was dumbfounded!

What's the meaning!

Do you trust her so much
