Because almost every gentleman and Lady of the family participated in the game, and they were the judges of the contest. In order to ensure the principle of fairness and openness, they decided to adopt the blind voting method.

Before the results came out, no one knew who cooked the dish.

There is an hour and a half to prepare. The cooks put the prepared food on the plate, and then the maid takes it out.

In order to prevent cheating or tips, cooks stay in the kitchen tent.

After all the dishes were served out, these imperial chefs had nothing to do, so they gathered together to chat.

The content of the gossip is no more than who will win the competition and get a gold bar.

"If you talk about cooking, you should be the manager of cattle."

"Yes, I think so, too."

“……”

Manager Niu is the highest ranking among several people. The other four people compliment one after another before the result comes out.

Being praised by others, the manager surnamed Niu was happy with his face, but he was still polite. "The result hasn't come out yet. Who knows? Besides, you all have their own characteristics. Take Master Liu Baian for example, the dumplings he made are unique, with thin skin and big stuffing. Even the emperor praised them."

"Dare not, dare not." The imperial chef surnamed Liu, who was mentioned by name, said immediately.

Manager Niu added: "Master Sun's soup can be counted in the palace, and master Zhang's spicy diced rabbit. Although it is traditional, it has always been popular..."

Manager Niu was used to being a man, and the other four cooks praised each other.

What you say makes everyone feel comfortable. If you don't say it, leave a step for yourself.

If he is not the one who wins in the end, it will not be so ugly.

At the end of the day, manager Niu did not forget to praise Xia Yi, who had been standing beside his stove.

"Since Miss Xia Yi can be appreciated by Princess Qianyue, she has her own advantages. Maybe Miss Xia Yi has some tricks, and the one who wins in the end is Miss Xia Yi."

Xia Yi looked up and saw five people's eyes looking at him.

She toward a few people gently hook under the corner of the lip, did not intend to join in the conversation of a few imperial chefs.

Xia Yi lowers her head again and returns to her own world.

Several royal chefs continued to discuss the contest.

"Have you heard? The second son of the Kang family started a gamble. He was gambling whether our imperial chef or Xia Yi won this time. "

"If we use five of us to treat one of Xia Yi, we can't afford to look at her too much. Where is this to us?"

"You're wrong. The odds for Xia Yi to win are one to ten!"

"Even if it's one to ten, who dares to press it?"

"Don't you know that? It's said that King Mu, King Jin, and the little princess from the southern region pressed a gold bar and Xia Yi won... "

“……”

“……”

A few people you a word I a language, summer Yi also don't care that sentence is who say, she just secretly calculate this time oneself in the end can win this ten gold bars.

This time, the rabbit she made is honey crispy roasted rabbit, which is a modified version of honey chicken wings taught by bailiff.

Steward Bai has never taught other people this way, and her restaurant has no similar dishes, which should belong to the taste that most people outside have never tasted.

Just now, when she was cooking, she also secretly observed the practices of several imperial chefs. In addition to spicy rabbit dice and rabbit dumplings, which are the most traditional practices, the other three people made more or less adjustments to the menu, but they didn't adjust much.

There are so many imperial chefs in the palace. Even if those people outside have eaten the dishes made by the imperial chefs, they may not be familiar with them.

Although it's mainly her taste, it's not sure that they will be remote from the new taste they haven't tried, which is the key to her success.

Anyway, she has three votes now.

Xiao Linmu, Nan Qianyue and Huo Jie just ate her honey roast chicken yesterday, and today they will have the same taste, so they will be able to guess which dish is hers.

Xia Yi is thinking about this, then heard someone disdain the tone of the way: "I'm still the first time to hear someone with honey barbecue, roasted meat so sweet, where can delicious?"

He didn't intend to avoid Xia Yi, and even his tone was a little higher than just now, which seemed to be specially for Xia Yi.

Xia Yi raises her eyes, and her eyes just meet those of the speaker. If Xia Yi remembers correctly, it should be Zhang Yuchu who has made spicy rabbit.

Zhang Yuchu's eyes were full of disdain.

Xia Yi tone light way: "taste how, don't bother Master Zhang, after all, the judge is outside?"

"You're a little girl. You're not a big girl. You're a big girl!" Choked by Xia Yi's words, Zhang Yuchu's face turned red.

Manager Niu saw that they were going to quarrel, so he stood up and became the peacemaker.

"The results of the competition are not yet available. Anyone can win. Let's not talk too much about it. Just be patient for a while." Said he will pull Master Zhang's arm, Master Zhang back to the original position, "Master Zhang, you are also, with a little girl about what?"

"Don't be angry, Lao Zhang. Who didn't have a frivolous youth? Some people think that they are the tallest one when they haven't seen a higher mountain, but they don't know that there are people outside and there are mountains outside... "

“……”

Several imperial chefs openly pull side frame to take mountains outside the connotation of summer meaning, also let summer meaning can't help laughing.

Needless to say, she lived in the information age for so many years. If she wanted to see the mountains outside the mountains, it was just a matter of searching with her fingers.

She can not only see the mountains outside the mountains, but also learn cooking skills from the so-called mountains outside the mountains.

They originally thought that Xia Yi would stop when she understood Liu Yuchu's words, but they didn't expect Xia Yi to say: "well, Master Liu is right. There are people outside the people and there are mountains outside the mountains. Don't think that you are the highest mountain."

“……”

Liu Yuchu almost breathless. He has not seen such arrogant people since he was so old!

At the moment, there is a lot of noise in the tent kitchen, and the voting outside the tent is also in full swing.

Statistics is done by the bodyguards of the king of Jin. There is no secret operation.

Blind election and blind voting. The final result showed that there was no big difference in the number of votes. The first place was the honey crisp roast rabbit, which got seven votes.

The second place was stewed rabbit, with six tickets, and the remaining four dishes, with three or two tickets.

"Well, the first one is coming out. Honey crisp roast rabbit, come on, invite a few cooks out, let them claim their own dish one by one." Xiao Linjin said.

After Xia Yi pressed the gold bar, Kang Yuanzong always felt uneasy. Although he said that Xia Yi was arrogant, he was afraid subconsciously.

After seeing that the honey crisp roasted rabbit won the first place, he felt even more uneasy.

Besides Xiao Linjin and Xiao Linmu, Kang Yuanzong ate most often in the palace. He never seldom went to his elder sister, Princess Kang, for dinner before, but he never ate anything with honey taste.

At the time of tasting, Kang Yuanzong had an intuition that the honey crisp roast rabbit was made by Xia Yi, so he put in the stewed rabbit.

Seeing that the winner was about to be announced, Kang Yuanzong's feeling became more intense. He immediately interrupted: "wait a minute, did the king of Jin forget that there was still one person who didn't vote?"

"Well?" Xiao Linjin looks at Kang Yuanzong.

Kang Yuanzong said: "chusike, chusike has not yet cast."
