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

Chapter 141 The Contest Ends Successfully
Not long after the servant girl left, she came in with a group of servants.

Each servant holds a tray in his hand, on which are freshly cooked delicacies.

Taking advantage of the time when the maid was serving the dishes, Chen Fan explained:
"These ten dishes are made by the ten chefs who entered the finals. Everyone can taste one dish to their heart's content."

"After eating, there is more to come. In today's competition, each chef will cook ten dishes, and there are still ninety dishes waiting for everyone, so you can eat with an open stomach, you are welcome."

After these dishes were served, everyone's eyes never left these delicacies, and they kept staring at these delicacies.

Chongzhen swallowed, couldn't help moving his chopsticks, and urged:

"Everyone, don't look at it, just eat it!"

Just looking at these delicacies with excellent color, fragrance and taste, Chongzhen's appetite was whetted.

Chongzhen put a large piece of ribs into his mouth.

moment.

His whole body was about to fly, extremely satisfied.

"The taste is fresh and tender, crispy and sweet, and the color is bright red."

Chongzhen finished a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and was full of praise.

Seeing this, other people on the table also tasted a piece curiously.

How delicious it is, worthy of His Majesty's praise.

Pei Yuanqing tasted it with anticipation.

soft!
Sweet and sour!

It was delicious!

Pei Yuanqing's face was filled with satisfaction.

Chen Fan looked at the other people, and just seeing the happiness on their faces, Chen Fan knew that the sweet and sour pork ribs were very suitable for them.

Is it really so delicious?

Chen Fan tasted a piece curiously.

Ok?
It is indeed sweet and sour, but a little greasy.

"Eight points!"

After Chen Fan scored, the servants next to him quickly recorded it in the booklet.

Eight points for sweet and sour pork ribs!

Everyone saw Chen Fan's strange behavior, but they didn't ask any more questions. Everyone was busy tasting other dishes and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

The purpose of everyone coming to the National Teacher's Mansion today is to taste delicious food.

As for the others, such as the rules of the competition, the national teachers naturally worry about them, they are only responsible for eating!

soon.

A large table of dishes was wiped out by them.

Chen Fan watched and shook his head.

I’m eating in such a hurry now, there are still ninety dishes to come!
We'll see how you can eat it later.

Chen Fan tasted every dish, and after scoring the points, he asked his servants to keep records.

Then let the maid clean up the leftovers on the table.

As soon as it was packed, other servants brought back ten dishes.

that's it.

Chen Fan took a bite of the delicious food slowly and savored it carefully.

And the way the others gobbled it up one by one made people laugh.

Those who didn't know, thought these people were reincarnated from starvation ghosts!

In an instant, the food on the table was cleared by everyone.

"Brother, I have never eaten such delicious food in my life, today is a worthwhile trip!"

Chongzhen burped because he was too full.

Li Yizhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also echoed:

"According to the old minister, all these chefs in the National Teacher's Mansion are worthy of the title of the Great Cookery God!"

Li Yizhi said these words sincerely.

He never thought that food could be so delicious.

Now that I think about it, the delicacies he ate in the past, compared to the chefs in the National Teacher's Mansion, are completely pig food!

Li Yizhi was already thinking about it. He heard that Master Guoshi would select three winners from the ten chefs participating in the finals to stay in the Guoshi Mansion.

As for the other seven chefs, can he invite him to his house and cook delicious food for him every day?

In his opinion, every dish he ate today is delicious, and every chef is a god of food.

After only a few rounds of food, everyone was full and leaned on their chairs to digest.

"I can't eat anymore!"

"My stomach is too full."

"It's a pity, there are still so many delicacies that are not served!"

Chongzhen shook his head and sighed regretfully.

Chen Fan smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sorry. I will send a few carts of ingredients to His Majesty to take back to the palace later. I believe that the cooks in the imperial dining room will make good use of these ingredients to cook delicious dishes for Your Majesty."

When Chongzhen heard this, his face beamed with joy, so that's okay.

In the following time, Chen Fan enjoyed the delicacies on the table alone.

Seeing other people is envious.

It's just a pity that the full stomach tells them all the time that they can't eat anymore.

"My dear brother, I will return to the palace to handle government affairs first."

After Chongzhen rested, he got up to say goodbye and prepare to return to the palace.

It was a pity for Chongzhen that he wanted to eat but couldn't eat the delicious food on this big table.

It's better to be out of sight.

In this way, Chongzhen took Princess Changping and Princess Xiao Zhaoren back to the palace.

Of course, there are also several carts of fresh ingredients and various condiments that are taken away.

As for the other three princes, they had already gone to play games after eating.

When the ministers saw that His Majesty had left, they were embarrassed to stay for a long time.

Li Banghua, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and Yang Chengye, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also bid farewell and went back together.

While tasting the delicious food, Chen Fan looked at Li Yizhi and Pei Yuanqing and asked in surprise:

"Everyone is gone, don't you go? Do you want to stay and eat?"

Looking at these two old men, each of them sat still and had no intention of going back at all, Chen Fan couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Could it be that these two old men are still planning to stay at his house for dinner?
Pei Yuanqing said with a smile:
"I can't eat anymore. The official came here today not only to eat, but also to report to the National Teacher about the construction of the primary school."

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.

It has been seven days since the last conversation. The preparations are almost done and it is time to break ground.

"Master Li, what about you?"

Chen Fan turned to look at Li Yizhi, wanting to hear why he didn't leave after dinner.

Li Yizhi said with a smile on his face:

"The enrollment plan has been revised. I will come here and ask if there is anything that needs to be improved. If there is no problem, when will the nationwide enrollment be launched?"

"Oh! It was changed so quickly!"

Chen Fan looked surprised. He didn't expect the plan to be revised so quickly.

Recruiting students from all over the Ming Dynasty is a huge project.

"Those two adults wait a moment, my competition will be over soon, and I will talk to the two adults in detail later."

After finishing speaking, Chen Fan asked his servants to speed up the process of serving the dishes.

After Chen Fan took a bite, he quickly asked the servant girl to remove the dish and replace it with another dish.

that's it.

Less than half an hour.

Chen Fan finally tasted the hundred delicious dishes.

Overall, Chen Fan was quite satisfied with his meal.

The delicacies prepared by these chefs in the capital are no worse than those in five-star hotels.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chen Fan looked up at the clerk next to him and asked.

"Master, the score has been calculated."

After finishing speaking, the clerk handed the brochure to Chen Fan for review.

While checking the situation recorded in the brochure, Chen Fan asked his servants to invite the ten chefs in the yard.

The results are out, and it's time to announce the results.
