Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 347: On the List
Two days later, the [-] to [-] gourmet competition officially started. With good publicity, coupled with the reputation of the world's best chef inscribed by Kangxi himself, the chefs who can enter the top [-] are all capable.

The competition venue is newly built, not far from the food street, a large venue supported by eight large pillars, and the judge is the imperial chef that Yinzhen "borrowed" from the palace.

Although the royal chef in the palace is a bit timid, and the things he cooks are quite satisfactory on weekdays, they still have a few brushes, so tasting them is no problem.

Of course, apart from these regular judges, there are also "wild" judges like Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er. They are also responsible for tasting, not professional evaluation.

Because of the lively food competition held by Yinzhen, the brothers who have a good relationship with Yinzhen also come to join in the fun from time to time, but they didn't show up, they all ate in the private room.

"Try it."

In front of Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er were special delicacies from different places.

This 100 to [-] competition is divided into three games, up for the pastry competition, noon dish competition, and soup competition in the afternoon. The reason why it is divided into three games is mainly because there are [-] people. If they compete at the same time, the judges will also be busy. However, it is much better to do it in batches.

When Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er came, it was almost noon, and not long after they sat down, someone finished it one after another, within the specified time, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly.

Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er didn't have to worry so much, so after checking that the food was okay, Yinzhen began to ask Xiao Fujin to taste how it tasted.

Speaking of which, the reason why he came up with the idea of ​​holding a food competition has something to do with Tong Cheng'er, because he wanted her to taste special dishes from all over the world.

Tong Cheng'er is very face-saving, she has tried almost every dish, and they are all delicious. The cooks in the house are all good, and they can cook dishes from all over the world, but they don't go to the authentic ones made by local people.

Tasted one by one, it is undeniable that the taste is very good.

"Really delicious!!"

Yinzhen smiled: "It's as long as it's delicious, and I'll have a chance to eat it later."

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Yinzhen said: "After the competition, I decided to rent the shop in the food street to the top [-] players in the competition for free for one year. Before the next competition, they will have the priority to renew the lease. It is not easy to find a shop in the capital, as long as there is a condition to say The shop cannot be sublet, so there are naturally many people who are willing to stay in the capital to open a shop."

Tong Cheng'er smiled: "You really have a business mind."

There are many dishes, even if they are divided into batches, each portion is not large, so you can eat a little of everything, and you will be full easily after eating.

When she was full, Tong Cheng'er was not interested in continuing to read. She was somewhat interested in eating, but not in cooking.

Another three days later, the gourmet competition continued, and the number of freshmen for Kit Kat Academy had been confirmed.

Just like nouns in the test, Tong Cheng'er also asked people to post a notice to spread the word.

On the day when the results were announced, many people gathered around the bulletin board.

"All give way, all give way, even if you squeeze a piece of notice, you won't be able to post it."

……

After a lot of yelling, the people from Prince Yong's Mansion posted the notice on it.

As soon as the notice was posted here, it was surrounded tightly. There are quite a few people who came to take the exam this time, which is no worse than the imperial examination.

"Master, so many people can't squeeze in."

Brother Liu heard what his servant said, and looked at the situation in front of him, he really couldn't squeeze in.

Although he was also anxious in his heart, what else could he do if he couldn't squeeze in.

"Don't worry, take your time."

Anyway, the result has already come out, it's a foregone conclusion, it doesn't make any difference if you know the result sooner or later, it's just a matter of being uneasy.

His people couldn't squeeze in, and neither could Brother Zhang's people. As for Bian Lan, she had confidence in herself, and she didn't rush to check the rankings until there were fewer people.

After about half an hour, there were far fewer people beside the bulletin board, and several people squeezed in.

Brother Liu and Brother Zhang looked for their names from the back to the front, while Bian Lan planned to look for their names from the front to the back.

Bian Lan walked to the far right and began to search for the name. She had just read the beginning, so there was no need to search, she was the first one.

The name is also specially enlarged and written, which looks extraordinarily eye-catching.

Because Liu and Zhang didn't move, and Bian Lan didn't say a word, I'm sure I'm happy, I don't need to go back, at least my life is safe for the time being, as for the rest, let's talk about it later!

Thinking of this, she began to look down, she wanted to see if there was a companion's name, it would be best if there was one, but studying with someone she knew was indeed more pleasant than entering a completely unfamiliar environment.

Furthermore, Liu and Zhang do have some talents, so it would be great if they could study together.

After reading the first vertical line, there are no two names.

After reading the second vertical line, there are no two names.

After reading the third vertical line, there are no two names.

...When she read almost ten lines, she suddenly heard Brother Zhang shout: "I'm on the list!!"

The tone was very excited.

Bian Lan smiled when he heard this, and continued to look down.

After a while, Brother Liu also said, "I'm also on the list!!!"

The tone is very joyful.

Both of them are on the list, now they turn their attention to Bian Lan.

After being looked at by the two, Bian Lan smiled and said, "I'm also on the list."

Brother Liu said with a smile: "I knew that Brother Bian must be on the list, by the way, where is Brother Bian?"

Bian Lan: "No.1."

"What, No.1!!!" Liu and Zhang were shocked.

Although they agree with Bian Lan's talent and learning, but this is No.1. The whole Qing Dynasty took the exam together, and she got No.1. This is not an ordinary ability.

They thought in their hearts that no matter how good the ranking was, it would be great to be in the top [-].

With such a good ranking as No.1, I am afraid that when I enter the school in the future, I will be held in the palm of my husband's hand and protected.

Kit Kat Academy is backed by Prince Yong, maybe Bian Lan can name himself in front of Prince Yong.

Bian Lan: "What? Surprised?"

In fact, she was also surprised. The No.1 ranking was indeed beyond her expectations. Of course, she was not proud of it, after all, she had studied mathematics, physics and chemistry for so many years.

She is confident in this test, but her handwriting is not particularly good after passing through, because she is used to writing simple characters, and when writing, she has the memory of the original body, and the written words will sometimes lack things.

Of course, what she wrote was not simple characters, but typos.

She has tried her best to overcome this problem, but she still can't get rid of it. The time she passed through is too short.

It can only be said that the person who changed the paper is very tolerant.

In fact, it's not Tong Cheng'er's tolerance for corrections, but her focus is on whether she has a foundation in physical examination and arithmetic. As for handwriting, she can continue to study and correct it in the future, but a paper that is all correct is indeed very rare.

Brother Liu: "According to Brother Bian's ability, it doesn't seem impossible."

Brother Zhang: "Brother Bian won the first place in the selection, and now it's normal to get another first place in the capital."
