Every time I wear a book, I am forced to turn around

A Chef Conference will be held in early fall.This season is neither hot nor cold, which is convenient for everyone to rush all the way to the capital from spring and summer.Moreover, compared with other seasons, autumn is a harvest season, and the ingredients in this season are the most abundant.

There are fifteen provinces in this dynasty, and more than 300 state capitals under its jurisdiction.Just after the Lantern Festival, an imperial decree was sent to all parts of the country through the post station.The emperor wanted to recruit the common people to the capital to attend the cooks conference. Each province recruited nine people, a total of 130 five people.

These 130 five people were recruited to be judges at the chef conference, so they were not recruited casually.In each province, three people are recruited for the elderly who are highly respected; three people are recruited for the blessed; three people are recruited for the loyal and filial.

These individuals will form the public judges.Oh, or the common people judges.When they went to the capital, not only the round-trip travel expenses were paid by the imperial court, but they lived in post houses along the way, and it was said that they could also get rewards from the emperor.Knowing this, everyone expects to be chosen.And this idea was of course given to the emperor by Yan Jinyun and Wu Shen.Take the people under the rule to the capital, let them appreciate the mighty kindness of the emperor, it won't cost a few dollars, and it can win the hearts of the people.

The rewards don't need to be given by the emperor, and they directly attract foreign investment in the name of the Chef Conference. Naturally, a large number of merchants are crying and clamoring to share the emperor's worries.The emperor's private treasury not only won't take out things, maybe it can make a lot of money.

In addition to these civilian judges, about 100 people will be selected from high-ranking officials and ladies in the capital, famous poets, and contemporary Confucian scholars to form celebrity judges.It's said, it's just said that the current emperor is also a member of the celebrity judges.

Then, there must naturally be professional judges in professional-level competitions.There are a total of nine professional judges, composed of veteran chefs, and Mr. Yi is naturally one of the professional judges.These nine old monsters are real authorities.

The rules of the competition have also been roughly released, except for some detailed rules that need to be improved.The rights of the three judges are different, and the ratings of professional judges are the most useful.However, it cannot be said that celebrity judges and civilian judges are completely useless.

The nephew of the Jin family felt that he had been humiliated, and said: "Do the large group of poor people recruited from the people know what food is? I dare say that they have never eaten anything good in their lives, so what right do they have to criticize my work?" ?”

In fact, there is still a gap between the common people judges and the real poor.In this era, if an old man can be called highly respected, he must have a huge clan behind him.And a blessed person, he himself must be free from illness and disaster, and his family must also be free from illness and disaster, and the family must be flourishing, rich and healthy, right?Therefore, these two types of public judges must be squires at the very least.They have no worries about food and clothing, and have some knowledge, which is not as bad as nephew Jin said.

But the young master of the Jin family just looked down on them.

The head of the Jin family didn't necessarily think highly of these people in his heart, but he said: "You can't say such things in front of outsiders. Didn't you read on the emperor's list that food is the most important thing for the people, and the emperor is willing to put the people first, so he set up People's judges."

The young master of the Jin family was still not convinced.Among the three types of judges, he might not even look up to celebrity judges.As a beneficiary of the technology blockade, he has a kind of arrogance in his heart that "no one knows how to cook except our family of chefs".However, the imperial list has already been released, and the judges from all provinces have come to Beijing one after another. This matter cannot be changed.

Commoners recruited from all over the world are not qualified to comment on their cooking skills!If there is no such thing as high-quality ingredients, it is estimated that the family of chefs will unite to protest against this competition system.But now, after experiencing the impact of Daohuayu, with a large number of high-quality ingredients hanging in front, it is impossible for the family of chefs to unite.There is already a lot of discord between the aristocratic families, and there are conflicts when there are interests.They will think, if I don't go, those few companies will go, I can't get high-quality ingredients, but they get it... So, the capital must go, the chef conference must be attended, and high-quality ingredients must be Gotta get it.

"Uncle! But those people really don't know how to cook, what can they comment on? Don't just vote for whoever sees the top in the queue, or vote for whoever looks good." The young master of the Jin family shouted said, "There has always been a saying among our chefs that it is hard to adjust. No matter how good a dish is, there will always be people who don't like it. In case they are confused by the little boy when they comment, they put All the votes went to that little boy... Do we just admit that we are in the wrong!"

The boy in his words naturally refers to Yan Jinyun.Recently, the young master of the Jin family has been outside listening to others talking about their yearning for Yan Jinyun.No matter how outstanding Young Master Jin is, he is only famous in the aristocratic family. He is not like Yan Jinyun. With the spread of "Beishan Ji", his talent and reputation are already known to everyone.Even among the young master of the Jin family's friends, heck, they are actually a bunch of cronies, and some people felt wronged for him: "Except for having a good face, Gongliang, how can he compare to you. You are the young master of the Jin family, He is the future head of the Jin family and has been learning cooking since he was a child."

The young master of the Jin family thought so deeply.

Hupenggouyou said again, what does Gongliang Xiangrong have?They all found out that the guy had never seriously learned cooking skills before the defeat of Gongliang's family. Although he later worshiped Mr. Yi as his teacher, he had only been with Mr. Yi for three years.What can be learned in three years?He must have fooled those literati with a good face before he was blown into the sky.

"This kind of little boy with no real skills can't go far in the chef conference!" A friend said.

"That's not necessarily true." Someone said, "It's recorded in the history books that if a beautiful woman is so beautiful, the country can be destroyed. Is it impossible for a mere chef conference to handle it? Look at Xue Xingchang, Yuyuan, and those in "Beishan Ji" People, which one of them is not a smart person? But they would rather give up their reputation and help that little boy to build momentum, so it can be seen that he is more beautiful than the evil concubine in the history books... With such a face, when the time comes Didn't you easily confuse the judges?"

After saying this once, twice, three or five times, Young Master Jin finally listened to him.He was too arrogant, and in his heart he always looked down on Yan Jinyun, as well as those judges of common people and celebrities, so he felt that these words were too reasonable.

In addition to the Jin family, other chef families have also heard some gossip.

However, even if they already believed in their hearts that Yan Jinyun was a clown who relied on his face, when they arrived in the capital one after another, they found that they still underestimated Yan Jinyun's "shameless" level.There is a newly released play that is very popular in Beijing.The name of the new play is "Gongliang Xueyi", which is said to be adapted from the real experience of Gongliang Xiangrong.

The script of "Gongliang Xueyi" was written by Yan Jinyun himself. The opening scene was a crying scene. The protagonist cried to his father's grave about the suffering he had suffered since he was framed. The crying made the audience feel empathetic and immediately grabbed everyone's hearts.Then, the protagonist learns that there is a famous chef in the capital who wants to take an apprentice. Known for his good cooking skills.

The ending of the story is naturally that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil.There is also the role of the emperor here.Yan Jinyun gave him a person who hates evil like hatred, knows every detail, and loves the common people.Don't the common people just like such an emperor?

Naturally, there is also Wu Shen's role here!Yan Jinyun wrote Wu Shen in a very suave way.

Under the matchmaking of Princess Anqing, the libretto in the play was written by real masters, and she also invited the most famous theater troupe in the whole capital to rehearse the play.Therefore, "Gongliang Xueyi" was very popular and acclaimed as soon as it was performed.

For a while, the leading role became popular, and the prototype character Yan Jinyun also became popular.

The main actor is surnamed Xue, Xue actor has a gentle voice, beautiful appearance, especially in appearance.The reason why Beijing Simei didn't choose him was mainly because his status was too low.In fact, in terms of appearance alone, he has surpassed the four beauties of the capital.

Someone asked Mr. Sun Er: "I don't know how much of Mr. Gongliang's demeanor Xue Liren performed? Can there be seven points?"

As Mr. Gongliang's apprentice, Mr. Sun shook his head while sighing, and said in a firm tone: "He didn't even perform half of my master's demeanor. I'm not saying he's not good at acting. He's already doing very well. But... …well!"

Everyone was in an uproar, Xue Lingren has unparalleled beauty, but is not half as good as Mr. Gongliang?

How beautiful is Mr. Gongliang!

Yan Jinyun continued to methodically manipulate public opinion.The rumors sent to the chef's family before were all designed by him.Young Master Jin is surrounded by so many cronies, there are always one or two who can be bribed.The same goes for other people.In this way, Yan Jinyun gradually aroused the chef's family's fear of Gongliang Xiangrong's beauty.

Yan Jinyun's rehearsal of the play "Gongliang Xueyi" before the chef meeting was also to deepen the fear in the family's heart.Those civilian judges who arrived in the capital one after another were settled by the imperial court.They may have never heard of Chef Jin's family, nor Chef Liu's family, but they must know Gongliang Xiangrong!The family of chefs has heard people say more than once that the common people judges and celebrity judges already have a natural affection for Gongliang Xiangrong.

It can't go on like this!

Several families of chefs met for a meeting, and then submitted a memorial to the emperor together.It is written in the playbook that in order to reflect the principle of fairness and justice and exclude the influence of other factors on the competition, it should be in the form of dark signing.

What they mean is that a row of temporary kitchens should be built in the competition venue, and all contestants cook in the temporary kitchen and cannot leave the temporary kitchen.When the contestants have prepared the dishes, they should serve them on a uniform plate.The plates are identical on the surface, but in fact have the names of the chefs on the bottom.Then, a special person will bring out the dishes and present them to the judges.The order is still out of order.After the judges finish scoring, turn the plate over to see the chef's name.

This is to prevent Yan Jinyun!

They believed that with such strict defenses, people with names in name would definitely be eliminated in the first round.

In fact, some keen-minded people in the family of chefs have realized that Gongliang Xiangrong is the emperor's man.He should have been sent out by the emperor to fight against the aristocratic family.But so what?As long as the emperor disagrees with their request, they can say that the competition is not fair.Chef, bad cooking is the original sin.These smart people are not like Young Master Jin, who completely denied Yan Jinyun, but they want to use Yan Jinyun to strike back at the emperor.

The emperor pressed the playbook, but there was no reply for a long time.

The family believed more and more that Yan Jinyun had only one face.Rumors gradually arose in the capital.Some people say that Gongliang Xiangrong's cooking skills are very average, and the reason why some people praise him for his good cooking skills is because of his beautiful face.

"What did I say! What did I say! Sure enough, I hit the spot!" Sun Er was very angry, "It turns out that this group of chefs is trying to harm my master. They have been planning since three years ago, Deliberately saying that my master is beautiful, denying my master's good skills! They still don't let my master show his face in the competition. If my master doesn't show his face, he can't clear up the rumors. Wouldn't it be that he will carry a beautiful woman behind his back in the future? A title to win? These vile families of chefs!"

Sun Er is really a smart man.There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.
