The peasant girl wants to turn the sky: the black-bellied husband, come to farm

Chapter 1128 The Competition Begins

After breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang began to move the needed ingredients to the carriage. Like the competition in Bailu Academy, the royal family will provide some of the ingredients, but if you want to bring your own, the royal family will not stop you .

After taking a long time to pack up his things, Emperor Yong'an stepped down.

Emperor Yong'an went to court, and rushed to Da'an Palace with Yao Xian, Yang Hao, Yang Zheng, Feng Huihui and others.

Yang Wenxiao was ready. Seeing that all the people who were supposed to come had come, he got on the imperial chariot and led a group of people out of the palace to the gate of the city.

A high platform has been built in the open space at the entrance of the palace. On the high platform is the seat of Yang Wenxiao, Emperor Yong'an and other royal family members. Facing the high platform 20 meters away, there is a stove. Behind the stove is the seat of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

When Yang Wenxiao arrived, the open space had already been surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and no one else was allowed to enter.

However, there are many spectators in the outer circle, including ordinary people and nobles who cannot enter the scene without official positions. It is as lively as a market.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has also arrived, and sat down on his seat in an orderly manner. When he saw Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yong'an coming, he quickly stood up and paid his respects.

Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yong'an sat down on the high platform. Emperor Yong'an waved his hand and said, "Get up."

After the words fell, the civil and military officials got up from the ground and sat down in their seats.

Emperor Yong'an said, "I called you here today for a culinary competition. Jiweiju and Zuixianlou are the two most famous restaurants in Daqi. Today, the two will compete to win or lose. Let's all be a witness together."

"The competition was initiated by Zuixianlou, and the chips given by the right minister were the territories of the five mansions. As we all know, the Jiweiju of Zuixianlou is located in every mansion in Daqi. Whoever loses after this competition will have Retreat from the five houses and give up the market to the other party."

"Right Prime Minister, Left Prime Minister, is there any objection to this bargaining chip?"

The right minister Shen Chenghao and the left minister Yu Ang sat at the front. The two stood up and cupped their hands towards Emperor Yong'an, "The old minister has no objection."

This bargaining chip was proposed by Shen Chenghao. There are no more and no less markets in the five prefectures.

Emperor Yong'an nodded and continued, "It's fine if there is no objection. Let's talk about the rules of the competition. Eight main courses, two cold and six hot, and one soup and one dim sum. There are ten dishes in total."

"There are five judges, Zhen, the Supreme Emperor, Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, and Prince Bai. Each dish is awarded ten points. The highest score is removed and the lowest score is removed. The side with the highest score wins."

"Qiao Maimai is representing Jiweiju, and Wang Chang is representing Zuixianlou. The two chefs stand in front of the stove and say hello to the ministers."

Qiao Xiaomai was standing by the side. Hearing that he came to the stove, he raised his hand and made a clasped gesture towards the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, "I'm here, Qiao Xiaomai, I've met all the adults."

The chef named Wang Chang also came out and clasped his fists at the ministers, "Chang Wang pays his respects to the ministers."

He is not tall, and his words are a bit awkward, very much like the accent of foreigners when they first learn Chinese.

Qiao Mai couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

At this time, Emperor Yong'an said again, "The two chefs and the big guys have met. If there is no objection, the competition will begin. The time is one hour and it will end at noon."

No one objected, after Emperor Yong'an finished speaking, Shen Chenghao and Yu Ang sat down, Tong Sanlang stood beside Qiao Maimai, and Wang Chang's assistant also came to the stove.

The test has officially started.
