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

Chapter 142 Everything is Ready

But only a cup of tea.

The servants of the house brought these chefs over.

These ten chefs are all ordinary people, and they have never even seen the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital, let alone a national teacher.

Therefore, after these ten people entered the house, they quickly knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, for fear of offending Master Guoshi.

Chen Fan looked bored and quickly asked them to get up.

The ancients were not good at this point, they just bowed down and bowed at every turn.

Even though Chen Fan had been in Daming for a while, he was still not used to others bowing down to him.

After these chefs got up, they stood obediently in a row.

Hu Yitu, the chef from Xianju, raised his head and secretly took a look at Chen Fan.

Seeing Chen Fan's youthful face, Hu Yitu sighed in his heart, he was as young as the rumors said.

At this time.

A voice came, interrupting Hu Yitu's thoughts.

"I believe everyone can't wait, I'll just announce the top three!"

When Chen Fan saw the nervous expressions on the faces of these chefs, he knew that they were eager to know if he was among the top three.

After all, the top three are rewarded with fame and fame, so they can't help but not care about it.

Fame is what they dream of.

Therefore, when everyone heard that Master Guoshi was going to announce the top three.

All of them had serious expressions, held their breath, and quietly waited for the Master of the National Teacher to announce the result.

Chen Fan didn't make any long speeches either, and announced directly from No.3.

"No.3 in the God of Cookery Contest is Zhou Dahai from Chunmanlou!"

"Xiaomin, thank you, Master Guoshi!"

As soon as Chen Fan announced No.3, a muscular chef quickly stood up and knelt on the ground to thank him with a full face of excitement.

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Dahai carefully, and nodded silently, as if he knew him.

No.3 is already there. Seeing the increasingly nervous expressions of the others, Chen Fan smiled and continued to announce the remaining champions and runners-up.

"No.2, Hu Yitu from Xianju."

"No. 1, Tie Deyuan from the Imperial Kitchen."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Fan saw two people kneeling on the ground, kowtowing their heads in gratitude.

Chen Fan smiled lightly and said:
"Everyone, get up! This is the three of you who won by your own ability, you don't need to thank me."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Tie Deyuan, Hu Yitu, and Zhou Dahai got up quickly.

From the excited expressions on their faces, Chen Fan knew how excited they were at the moment.

As for the other seven who failed the selection, each of them showed disappointment.

Chen Fan noticed this scene, but he didn't say much.

After all, there are only three places. If someone wins, someone will be eliminated. There is nothing to say about this.

"As for the rewards for fame and fame, I will ask Steward Wang to give you the documents later."

Hearing this, the three victorious chefs trembled and couldn't contain their excitement.

Isn't it for this fame that they have worked so hard for so many days?
just now.

Their fame is about to be obtained, so it is natural to be unable to hide the excitement in their hearts.

Chen Fan waved his hand and asked the butler Wang Dalong to take all these chefs away.

Then, ask the servants to clean up all the food on the table and remove the table.

The servants of the National Teacher's Mansion work very neatly.

In an instant.

The living room was tidied up, and the tea tables and chairs were re-arranged.

"Sit down, both adults, you're welcome!"

Chen Fan pointed to the tables and chairs that had just been set up, and asked Pei Yuanqing and Li Yi to take the seats.

After seeing the two adults sat down, Chen Fan asked straight to the point:

"Master Pei, when is Daming Royal Primary School going to start construction? If construction doesn't start, I'm afraid it won't be completed in three months."

Pei Yuanqing said to himself:

"The next official is here to talk about this matter today. The [-] civil servants have already been arranged, and the primary school can start construction at any time."

Speaking of this, Pei Yuanqing had to feel the power of money.

At the beginning of the recruitment of civilian husbands, everyone complained a lot, and everyone was very reluctant, complaining about the hardships of corvee.

But when Pei Yuanqing announced that the workers were paid one or two wages a month.

In less than a day, the people around the capital heard the news and rushed over, clamoring for corvee labor.

This is the first time everyone has heard that the government will return the money after serving in corvée.

Although everyone doesn't know what the situation is, since the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has said so, there must be nothing wrong.

therefore.

Under the attraction of money, Pei Yuanqing quickly recruited [-] civilian husbands.

"Since the work can start at any time, let's do it as soon as possible!"

Chen Fan naturally hoped that the sooner the better, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the school to start and the school hadn't been completed yet.

"By the way, when the primary school was built, Chang'an Avenue was also built by the way."

Chen Fan had long wanted to repair the road in front of the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

Honestly.

Now the road surface of Chang'an Avenue is full of potholes, and when it rains, there will be serious water accumulation.

Chang'an Avenue, as the largest street in Beijing, is the same situation.

You can imagine how dilapidated the other streets are.

"Chang'an Avenue? All of them? Or just the section in front of the primary school?"

Pei Yuanqing looked puzzled, Jian Elementary School was well built, why did he suddenly think of building roads.

Chen Fan thought about it thoughtfully, and said:

"Let's repair the entire Chang'an Avenue! Anyway, it's only ten miles away, and it's not too long. With so many folks, it can be repaired soon."

Chen Fan was still thinking about the car he bought!
Because of the bad road conditions in Daming Capital, Chen Fan never took it out.

Taking advantage of the construction of the elementary school this time, he also repaired the road in front of his house, so that it would be convenient for him to go out for a drive in the future.

Pei Yuanqing nodded with joy on his face.

To be honest, he has long been dissatisfied with this terrible Chang'an Avenue.

Because Chang'an Avenue is the first street in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, countless people come and go every day, plus horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and donkey carts are constantly pressing back and forth every day, resulting in extremely poor road conditions on Chang'an Avenue.

Every time he went up in the carriage, the bumpy road made him uncomfortable.

it's good now.

There will be a smooth road in the future.

Pei Yuanqing left with a happy expression. He couldn't wait to start construction.

After Pei Yuanqing left, Chen Fan looked directly at Li Yizhi and asked:

"Master Li, the enrollment plan has been revised?"

"Of course, the lower officials have brought over all the plans, and have a look at them to see if there is anything that needs to be improved."

After finishing speaking, Li Yizhi took out the prepared plan from his arms and handed it to Chen Fan for review.

After Chen Fan took the information, he read it seriously.

After half an hour.

Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction and praised:
"Very good, very perfect, the national enrollment will start tomorrow, is this okay?"

Li Yizhi nodded vigorously, almost patting his chest to assure him.

"Don't worry, Mr. National Teacher, everything is ready and can be done at any time."

"Well, that's fine."

Chen Fan couldn't hide his excitement. The moment he had been looking forward to was about to begin.
