Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 128 Advancing to the Next Round

When Pei Yuanqing saw that the matter of coming to the National Teacher's Mansion was over, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

"My lord, when I came to the mansion, I saw a lot of people gathered at the gate. I don't know who these people are?"

When he first arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, he was quite strange.

Why are there so many ordinary people gathered at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion?
Chen Fan followed Pei Yuanqing's gaze and glanced in the direction of the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

"Oh! You said that! Then the preliminary round of the God of Cookery Contest is going on!"

Hearing what Chen Fan said, Pei Yuanqing immediately recalled it.

It turned out to be this!

A few days ago, the national teacher asked him to find a chef with superb cooking skills to compete, and he left it to his subordinates to do it, and then he didn't care about it.

He is still busy studying the blueprints with those master craftsmen!

After all, in his opinion, this God of Cookery Contest is just a joke for Master Guoshi to be bored.

For the sake of appetite, what kind of competition is actually held.

He lowered his status and mixed with those low-level cooks.

He couldn't understand what Master Guoshi was thinking.

but.

This is the private matter of Master Guoshi, and he dare not say anything more.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuanqing smiled and said:
"It turns out that today is the day of the competition! How can the lower official say that the gate is so lively?"

"Speaking of which, Chef Hai at Xiaguan's mansion asked me for leave the day before yesterday, saying that he was going to participate in the competition and wanted to gain fame. Xiaguan thought that this is a competition held by the Master of the National Teacher, so he should support it no matter what, so he allowed him to go Participated."

Chen Fan snorted.

I really don't understand what Pei Yuanqing is going to say!
You've got everything done, why don't you go back to work, and why are you still chatting with me about family affairs?
The generation gap is too big and I am not interested in your topic.

Seeing that the national teacher was about to issue an order to expel the guests, Pei Yuanqing hurriedly made a long story short and said:

"Chef Hai has been working in the Xiaguan Mansion for more than 30 years. He is honest and reliable, and his cooking skills are superb..."

Chen Fan interrupted Pei Yuanqing impatiently.

"What exactly is Mr. Pei trying to say? You can just say it directly. You don't need to make such a big turn. I'm tired just listening."

Pei Yuanqing was a little embarrassed for a while, he had already talked about this, so he could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Chef Hai has been with Xiaguan for decades, and Xiaguan dared to ask for a job for my old servant. It doesn't need to be too high, just a scholar."

Seeing Master Guoshi frowned, Pei Yuanqing hurriedly added.

"Of course, if the Master of the State Teacher is in a difficult situation, he should be an official and never say anything about it."

Seeking fame for the cook in his house was also what he had just thought of.

After all, decades of master-servant relationship existed here. When Pei Yuanqing saw the opportunity was right, he mentioned it casually.

It would be the best if Master Guoshi could agree.

The fame of a scholar can be regarded as the reward for Chef Hai's decades of hard work!
Even if Master Guoshi doesn't agree, it's nothing, for Pei Yuanqing, there is no loss.

Chen Fan was indeed a little embarrassed.

It's not a matter of embarrassing whether to give fame to a scholar.

Instead, it was difficult to find a reason to reject Pei Yuanqing.

Chen Fan despises this kind of back door.

He had just held the first God of Cookery Contest, and some people came through the back door and tried to cheat.

It's really outrageous!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan bluntly refused:
"It's really embarrassing for me."

Seeing a look of puzzlement flashing across Pei Yuanqing's face, Chen Fan made up a reason.

"Before you came, more than a dozen people asked me to go through the back door. Now, Mr. Pei, you come to go through the back door again. Tell me, who should I give the competition rewards to?"

Before Pei Yuanqing could respond, Chen Fan asked himself and answered:

"It's not suitable for anyone. If you want fame, it depends on the skills of those cooks."

Pei Yuanqing smiled uncomfortably.

"Since the National Preceptor is in trouble, then the current official has never said anything about it."

Pei Yuanqing was just begging for favors for his old servant.

Since the master of the country does not agree, then forget it.

Seeing that the matter was over, Pei Yuanqing didn't intend to stay any longer, he had to go back and continue to work on the data!

Thinking of this, Pei Yuanqing stood up and said goodbye.

After Master Guoshi promised to send someone to send the difficult solution to his house before the evening, Pei Yuanqing returned home with his entourage.

After Pei Yuanqing left, Chen Fan asked Wang Dalong next to him about the situation of the preliminary round.

Hearing that the preliminary competition was proceeding in an orderly manner, Chen Fan smiled knowingly.

This Qingcheng is still very reliable in doing things.

two hours later.

After a fierce preliminary round, Qingcheng finally selected one hundred promotion places.

After Qingcheng publicly announced her entry into the semi-finals.

The chefs participating in the competition all have different expressions.

Some were excited, some were disappointed, and some came to the competition with a mentality of indifference.

The chef who entered the semi-finals was naturally extremely excited.

After all, one step closer to fame.

The surrounding crowd was also discussing intensely.

What's more, some good people show off to the people next to them, saying how accurate their predictions are.

There are many contestants who have advanced to the next round, just as he expected.

Qingcheng asked the contestants who entered the semi-finals to stand aside, and the other cooks who were eliminated also stood aside.

Qingcheng led the crowd out and walked up to the chefs who had advanced to the next round.

"Congratulations everyone, entering the semi-finals."

Hearing this, the cooks immediately rioted.

Hearing the confirmation from Miss Qingcheng, several contestants even cried with joy.

To know.

How eager they are for fame.

Now, fame is right in front of their eyes, within reach.

therefore.

Everyone is so excited, so gaffe.

Qingcheng understood everyone's mood and smiled as she watched everyone vent their emotions.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to me."

After a while, seeing that everyone's discussion was much quieter, Qingcheng continued:

"The rematch is not here, but in the mansion, everyone follow me."

After Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Qinglian, Lanyue, these sisters followed Qingcheng and went to the rematch place in the mansion together.

The venues for the semi-finals and finals have been prepared for these one hundred contestants.

Under the leadership of the guards, these cooks stepped across the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion excitedly and nervously, and walked towards the rematch place.

This was their first time coming to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and they were curious about everything.

such as.

When they crossed the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, they saw something novel.

They've never seen it before.

A few courageous cooks quietly asked the guards next to them, what is that?
After learning that this thing was called security inspection, I looked confused.

What is security check?
It is said that Master Guoshi came down from the sky and brought many novelty things down from the sky.

It seems that the rumors are true.

Not for a while.

Qingcheng brought the hundred cooks to the backyard.

The courtyard of the Imperial Prefecture is very large, with enough space for everyone to play.

All the competition materials in the yard are ready. Chen Fan bought these items from the Huaguo Farmer's Market.

The cooks who followed behind were all dumbfounded.

They have never seen many things in the yard, more than half of the ingredients.

Not to mention those weird kitchen utensils.
