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

Chapter 140
This afternoon, Chen Fan's long-awaited competition for the God of Cookery finally came to the finals.

For the final in the afternoon.

Chen Fan didn't even eat lunch, he just wanted to save his stomach for delicious food.

Early in the morning, Chen Fan came to the main living room.

The hall has already been arranged by the servants, and a big Eight Immortals table is placed in the middle of the hall.

Chen Fan walked forward directly and found a seat to sit down.

"Let those great chefs begin!"

Chen Fan ordered Qingcheng who was standing next to him, and announced the start of the game.

After Qingcheng received the instructions, she walked briskly to the compound to inform the ten chefs who had advanced to the final.

As soon as Qingcheng left, the housekeeper Wang Dalong came into the house to report important matters.

"Young Master, Mr. Pei, Minister of Industry, Mr. Li, Minister of Rites, Mr. Yang, Minister of Household, and Mr. Li, Minister of the Cabinet, are here to visit you."

When Wang Dalong reported this matter, he looked puzzled.

I don't know why so many ministers came to see the young master!

Chen Fan frowned and pondered for a moment.

I really can't think of what these old men want to do with him?

And still look for him together.

Could it be something big?
However, since everyone has arrived, Chen Fan can't avoid it.

Chen Fan raised his head and looked at Wang Dalong beside him, and ordered:
"Go and bring some adults here!"

The gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

A few old men are discussing in full swing.

"Master Pei, it's really so delicious, didn't you lie to us?"

Yang Chengye, Minister of the Household Department, asked Pei Yuanqing next to him.

If it wasn't for Pei Yuanqing to show off to several of their colleagues, saying that he had eaten delicious food in the world at the National Teacher's Mansion.

These ministers, who are busy with government affairs, may not necessarily be willing to accompany him to the Imperial Prefecture to have a look.

Pei Yuanqing looked confident, but he just patted his chest to make sure.

"When did I make a joke with you adults? The braised pork I had last time at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, now that I think about it, I still have endless aftertaste."

"I heard that today is the final of the God of Cookery Contest. The chefs who participated must have a higher level, and the delicacies they cook are even more delicious."

Ever since Pei Yuanqing tasted the delicacies of the Imperial Master's Mansion, he has been fond of it since he returned home.

I've been looking forward to the finals.

The dishes made by the chefs in the semi-finals were so delicious, let alone the finals.

However, he is also embarrassed to come to the National Teacher's Mansion to eat alone, and it is not good to hear the news.

then.

He encouraged other colleagues to come to Cengfan together.

In this way, even if others know, they will not laugh at him alone.

When the ministers are discussing how delicious the food in Guoshi Mansion is.

Wang Dalong walked out from the National Teacher's Mansion.

"The young master asked the villain to take the adults there."

After finishing speaking, he led these ministers to the reception hall.

"My lord, come here and be safe!"

As soon as several ministers entered the room, they greeted Chen Fan with smiles, not to mention how enthusiastic they were.

Chen Fan was completely confused by their enthusiasm, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"My lords came to our teacher's mansion together, are you looking for me for something important?"

Chen Fan scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

Pei Yuanqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, sat down on the table very consciously, and said with a smile:
"I heard that today is the final of the God of Cookery Tournament, so I will come over with a few adults to have a look."

While Pei Yuanqing was speaking, several other Shangshu lords had already sat down at the table unceremoniously.

Seeing Chen Fan's eyelids twitching, you old men are so impolite, you treat my National Teacher's Mansion as your own home?
Just listen to Pei Yuanqing's explanation of the purpose of coming, and then look at these old men sitting next to him shamelessly.

If Chen Fan can't understand why they came, then he is too stupid!

These old men were already so obvious that Chen Fan was too embarrassed to drive them away.

then.

Chen Fan speechlessly asked his servants to bring over a few more pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

The servants in the mansion just put up four pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, a hearty laugh came from outside the living room.

"My virtuous brother, I could smell the fragrance wafting from your mansion even in the imperial palace, it has aroused all my gluttons."

As soon as the words fell, Chongzhen came in with a large family.

The crown prince, third prince, fourth prince, Princess Changping, and little princess Zhaoren all came in behind Chongzhen's ass.

Everyone in the living room looked panic-stricken, obviously they did not expect His Majesty to come.

So, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

His Majesty came over in person, so Chen Fan was naturally embarrassed to sit still.

"Everyone, sit down, I'm here today as a guest, so don't be too polite!"

Chongzhen waved his hands to let everyone not have to salute, and at the same time took the main seat very consciously.

The corner of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

Got it!
Here comes another one who makes this his home.

What else can he say!

I had no choice but to ask the servants to add a few more pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

"Everyone, stop staring and sit down!"

Chen Fan greeted the ministers and nephews to sit down quickly.

Fortunately, the Eight Immortals table is big enough, so there are so many people sitting around it, it doesn't look crowded.

"Why does Your Majesty come to my house when you have time?"

Chen Fan is very curious, aren't you busy with government affairs all day long?
Why did you bring your whole family here?

Chongzhen laughed, and said:

"Last time the crown prince brought back a few dishes from the virtuous younger brother's mansion, not to mention, they were much more delicious than those made by the royal chef in the palace. I am salivating just thinking about it now!"

Ever since he ate the delicious food made by the chef of the National Teacher's Mansion, and then Chongzhen ate the food made by the Imperial Study Room, he felt like chewing wax.

This is not.

I learned that the finals will be held today in Brother Xian's house.

I brought the princes here to taste the delicious food.

Originally Chongzhen didn't intend to bring Xiao Zhaoren over, but she kept crying, saying that she missed the emperor's uncle and wanted to play with him.

There was no other way, so Chongzhen brought Xiao Zhaoren and Chang Ping along with him.

"Your Majesty is lucky today. Today's ten chefs are all selected from hundreds of chefs in the capital. Their culinary skills are absolutely beyond words."

"The most important thing is that I brought a lot of ingredients from Huaguo that Daming didn't have. After cooking by these chefs, everyone will be full of praise!"

Before the food was served, in order to avoid an awkward moment, Chen Fan made a simple opening statement.

Hearing what Brother Xian said, Chongzhen looked forward to it even more.

The few dishes that the crown prince brought back last time were gone before he could get enough of them.

"This lower official can testify that the delicacies cooked by the chef of the National Teacher's Mansion are delicious!"

Pei Yuanqing, who was sitting opposite Chen Fan, spoke to cooperate with Chen Fan's words at this time.

Several other ministers also enlivened the atmosphere.

"Hearing what the National Preceptor said, I am looking forward to it even more."

"Today can be a real treat!"

Li Yizhi, the Minister of Rites, said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was anxiously waiting, Chen Fan hurriedly asked the servants who were waiting on the sidelines to go to the yard and urge the chefs to serve the dishes quickly. Everyone couldn't wait anymore.
