The genius queen, here we come!

Chapter 442 Who Has a Better Photographic Memory?

Everyone saw that Concubine Xian was always excited, and only half-spoken, making them as anxious as An Lin, wishing to go on stage and snatch the notebook to see what Concubine Tang wrote that shocked Concubine Xian so much.But seeing Concubine Xian's reaction, Tang Lin had nothing to do with failure.But if the comparison is correct, there is no need for Concubine Xian to be so excited?Could it be that Concubine Tang wrote something in the notebook that made Concubine Xian very excited?
Tang Lin was shaken so hard by Concubine Xian, she could only roll her eyes towards the roof of Yi Pavilion.It's just a small addition to the book, Concubine Xian doesn't need to be so excited, right?

"I said sister, you, can you, can you calm down first?" Tang Lin smiled dryly, and took off Concubine Xian's hands on her shoulders.

After realizing that her behavior was a little too much, Concubine Xian immediately became cautious and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Sister Tang Concubine, I was too excited, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Tang Lin smiled slightly, rather flattered, "It's okay, I understand."

An Lin asked: "Concubine Xian, what's the result? You found something wrong in the comparison just now?"

At this time, Concubine Xian had calmed down a bit, but she was still excited because of Tang Lin, but she was suppressing her. "I read it all the time, and Concubine Tang has recorded every process of "Thousand Flavor Pot" accurately, and there is no mistake in any step."

"That's great!" Hearing what Concubine Xian said, An Lin couldn't help being happy for Tang Lin. He must very much hope that Tang Lin would become queen, and of course he would hope that Tang Lin could win every round.

An Lin continued to ask: "Then Concubine Tang has recorded every ingredient in the "Thousand Flavors Pot"?"

Concubine Xian nodded and said, "It's all written down!"

At this time, Yu Xinrui, who was sitting next to Guan Eyun, couldn't help but asked loudly: "Sister Tang, tell everyone, what ingredients are used to make the "Thousand Flavors Pot"? Can you remember those ingredients?"

Tang Lin faced the crowd and said calmly: "I have to admire Concubine Xian for making such a complicated "Thousand Flavor Pot". The complexity is really high. The ingredients needed for "Thousand Flavor Pot" alone are It is hard enough to kill a group of top cooks. There are many processes to make "Thousand Flavor Pot", with a total of 570 six steps. The first process is not like ordinary cooking, first put oil and salt, but first put the millennium Medicinal materials, such as snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, Shouwu, ginseng, etc., are put into the pot at the same time, and they can easily penetrate into the next ingredients after they are fused with boiling water. Tonic, the thousand-year-old sausage lotus ganoderma and other medicinal materials are used for great tonic. As for the fragrance, the aroma of wine, flowers, meat and other spices that you can think of and unexpected are put in the pot. All in all, "Thousand Flavor Pot" is made of 570 Six processes are completed, involving a thousand kinds of ingredients, including wine, medicinal materials, various birds and beasts, etc., you have seen, you have not seen, everything. One thing, maybe everyone is very puzzled! "

An Lin understood Tang Lin's question, "Is it food poisoning?"

"Very good, Manager An is right, it's food poisoning!" Tang Lin praised An Lin, and then said: "As we all know, many ingredients cannot be eaten together, otherwise it will cause diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and even shock. But What I want to tell you is that it is true that all things generate and restrain each other, but as long as they are properly matched, everything will be fine. Concubine Xian is very smart, and she tries to put in as little ingredients as possible that are likely to cause poisoning, and the "Thousand Flavor Pot" uses a lot of tonic ingredients Medicinal materials, those ingredients that are incompatible with each other, are not a threat at all, so there will be no accidents when you eat "Thousand Flavors Pot."

At this time, an official under the stage asked: "Madam Tang, you didn't witness the whole process of the competition, how did you judge every process of making "Thousand Flavor Pot"?"

Tang Lin smiled and said to the official: "My lord, that's a good question. Although I'm not a cook, I have been exposed to many ingredients. As long as I can eat them, I have basically seen them. Naturally, my sense of smell has improved a lot. .Although I didn’t witness the whole process of the competition in the outer cabinet just now, I have a good nose. Every time Concubine Xian completes a process, I can smell the smell of the ingredients put in the pot from outside, so I secretly recorded it.”

The official sat down and sighed to the one sitting next to him, "This is a goddess!"

The official sitting next to him responded, "Yes! It's incredible!"

At this time, Concubine Xian said to everyone: "Concubine Tang not only recorded in detail every process of "Thousand Flavor Pot" and the ingredients used in the notebook, but also recorded the names and types of ingredients. Concubine Tang has won Yes, winning is very beautiful, but here, I will reveal something to you. In the "Thousand Flavors Pot", there are indeed a whole thousand flavors of ingredients, but in the process of making it, I played it carefully and intentionally …Added a flavor! Concubine Tang’s book records not a thousand flavors, but a thousand and one... one flavor! This last flavor, I think, if I don’t say it, no one will know, but I didn’t expect that, Concubine Tang actually knows that this flavor exists, you know, this flavor is a colorless and tasteless ingredient!"

God!

The audience was shocked, including Yu Shengjun!There are a thousand and one tastes?Not only that, but could Concubine Tang know the existence of the colorless and odorless blindness?
Yu Shengjun thought he would draw with Tang Lin, but now, even he lost to Tang Lin!Tang Lin caught the envious and incredulous eyes of many people in the audience one by one, but she didn't make her complacent.She knows very well that one should not be proud, once proud, it will be useless.

"Sister, congratulations!" Concubine Xian sincerely congratulated Tang Lin, "You win very beautifully!"

Tang Lin smiled modestly, "I won because I have a foundation in culinary skills, but winning is a bit disgraceful. In terms of strength, my sister is doing her part."

Concubine Xian said: "Sister, you are too modest!" After thinking for a while, she said: "I put a lot of effort into "Thousand Flavor Pot", but I didn't expect to be cracked by my sister and the emperor, which just proves my sister's strength, quite The next half... I will not participate! Regarding the strength of the younger sister, the older sister has long been willing to bow down, so how dare she challenge her!"

Tang Lin thought that if she had an average comprehensive ability in all aspects, if she showed a talent that the concubine Xian was not good at, the concubine Xian would lose no matter what, so it would be better to save some time for the next competition. "My sister's strength is obvious to all. I know that my sister retired because she didn't want to put pressure on her so that she can prepare for the next round of competition! My sister appreciates her kindness!"

Concubine Xian shook her head and smiled helplessly. She really didn't have the strength to challenge Tang Lin, but Tang Lin's words gave her enough face.It is really a blessing for Jiang Gulan to know such a righteous sister. "It should be my sister who accepted my sister's kindness! Sister Concubine Tang, thank you so much!" After losing, she flinched, and did not forget to find a step for her.

Tang Lin smiled warmly, "Sister, you are welcome."

An Lin looked at Concubine Xian, and said respectfully: "Concubine Xian, you are also tired for this competition, go down and rest first." Speaking of this, facing the crowd, he raised his voice and said, "Thank you, Concubine Xian, for being here. Amazing cooking for us during the competition. Applause."

The audience applauded suddenly.

Concubine Xian bowed to the audience, and amidst warm applause, she got off the stage and returned to her seat on the side where the concubines were seated.

After the applause ended, An Lin went on to say to the crowd: "The second half of the fifth round, the concubine Xian has told her to withdraw. Then, next, the first half of the sixth round will be played, and the participating concubine is Concubine Hui." Speaking of this , Facing Concubine Hui who was seated by the concubines, said respectfully: "Empress Hui, you have a quarter of an hour to prepare! After a quarter of an hour, please come to the stage to compete!"

Concubine Hui understood, she nodded lightly, then got up and left her seat, and went to the back pavilion.

Tang Lin walked to the edge of the stage, bent her knees, supported the stage with one hand, and then threw her feet down the stage. She quickly jumped off the stage and walked towards Yu Shengjun. As far as it is concerned, it is simply a decoration.And her movements are too clean and neat, she is clearly a Lianjiazi, which makes many eunuchs and maids wonder. It is rumored in the palace that the Tang concubine before the fire in Ruining Palace was very weak, and she looked sick all day long. I saw her today. , how can you be so sensitive?

"Little Tang, you performed well in the fifth round!" As soon as Tang Lin walked in front of Yu Shengjun, the queen mother who was sitting next to him said cheerfully.

Tang Lin smiled modestly, "Thank you Queen Mother for the compliment, it's okay."

Yu Shengjun picked up his own teacup on the table, poured out the tea in it, then refilled half a cup, and gave it to Tang Lin, "Moisturize your throat!"

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking her, Tang Lin held the teacup and took a sip of tea.The tea is not hot, it is warm, and the lingering breath is refreshing. Ordinary tea has no such curative effect at all.She took a sip, although it was a small sip, but it made her taste the taste, "Well, there is bitterness in the sweetness, and light sweetness in the bitterness, the aroma is refreshing, good tea."

Yu Shengjun bowed his head and smiled helplessly. As expected of Tang Lin, no matter what was in her hands, she could analyze what it was.

The Empress Dowager praised: "I didn't expect Xiao Tang to be a master of tea.

Tang Lin chuckled, "The Empress Dowager praised Xiao Tang. I have learned tea art before, so I have a little understanding of tea ceremony, but I can't say that I am a master of tea ceremony."

Tang Lin didn't brag about herself, instead, she was capable but not too showy, which won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager, and she laughed from ear to ear, "Xiao Tang is really a good boy! Xiao Tang, the fifth It’s great that you won this round of competition. Tell Aijia, you have such a high culinary talent, did you practice hard in the kitchen since you were young? Otherwise, how could you be able to decipher the “thousand-thousand Flavor pot"?"

"This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Tang Lin's face. If she told the truth, the Queen Mother would definitely find it inconceivable or incomprehensible.After thinking about it, she still told the truth, since the other party couldn't fully understand, why bother to keep it a secret, "Back to the queen mother, Xiao Tang once stayed in the cooking class, and he knows a lot of common food ingredients. Beasts have also been studied. Therefore, I have seen some rare and rare animals that ordinary people have never seen before. Xiao Tang has a good understanding of many ingredients, so he has the opportunity to win this competition ! Because of the good foundation in all aspects, there is a chance to win, but it is not very honorable to win!"

Although she didn't quite understand Tang Lin's words, the Empress Dowager understood Tang Lin's hard work and said with relief, "I think Xiao Tang's past must have been very hard. gift!"

How come the more you say it, the more outrageous it is.Tang Lin laughed dryly, "The Queen Mother is serious. Xiao Tang is just an ordinary person. There are many people who are better than Xiao Tang in this world."

The Empress Dowager didn't speak any more, she just looked straight at Tang Lin who was wearing a blue military uniform, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.In the world, there is such a woman with such a delicate appearance, such a refreshing and friendly temperament, who is both civil and military, and has a very high character.

Yu Shengjun turned his head and quietly glanced at the queen mother, and the queen was drooling at the sight of the mother.He smiled lowly, then looked at Tang Lin, and asked softly, "Concubine Hui has a photographic memory, are you sure about it?"

Hearing her son's words, the empress dowager came to her senses and stopped looking at Tang Lin.This time, her expression became more solemn, obviously nervous about whether Tang Lin could handle the next round of competition. "Little Tang, Concubine Hui can memorize one or two very thick books in half an hour. This time, you are considered a master!"
