Every time I wear a book, I am forced to turn around

Because the publicity period lasted for two years, this year's chef conference was very lively, and there were more contestants who signed up for the competition than the three-year Chun Wei Juzi.Therefore, there are several rounds of pre-selection before the official competition.For old monsters like Mr. Yi, each person can designate one player to be exempted from the preliminaries and directly enter the finals.Mr. Yi ordered Yan Jinyun.

There are 12 players who do not need to participate in the preliminary selection.Except for Yan Jinyun, everyone else comes from a family of chefs.

The pre-selection venue is open air.On the day of the competition, the three floors outside and inside were full of people.Those who are rich and well-off naturally have reserved a seat in the surrounding restaurants early, and can sit in the restaurant and look down with a telescope.In the middle of the night when I had no money and no way out, I got up and took up a seat.The pre-selection is about basic skills, and the first round is shredded potatoes.

The whole game is divided into three steps.The first step is to peel the potatoes, the second step is to slice the potatoes evenly and then shred them evenly, and the third step is to put the shredded potatoes on a plate.It sounded very simple, and many of the onlookers brazenly said that they would have signed up to participate in the competition if they had known earlier, who would know how to cut potato shreds, they could do it with their eyes closed.

Then, when the judges started scoring, they never dared to say such things again.The shredded potatoes must be the same length, and points will be deducted if there is a difference in length.Must be consistent in thickness.You can’t even cut the knife, and points will be deducted if there is a knife. There is also a hidden knowledge point here. Someone cut the potato shreds as thin as a hair, but was eliminated.Because when the test questions were announced, the judges said that shredded potatoes were used for frying.Since it is stir-fried, the finer the better.

Cutting potato shreds eliminated many contestants, followed by cutting green peppers, then shredded pork, and then tofu... After several hours of knife skills competition, the contestants were quickly eliminated and only 300 contestants remained.The cut vegetables were not wasted, and they were all sent to another street. Just add some oil and cook them in a big pot, which can be distributed to the poor.

Among the contestants, 40 stood out from the crowd.

"Are they together? They wear the same clothes." These 40 people were highly discussed among the onlookers.They have the same hairstyle, have similar body and skin color, and wear the exact same clothes.Their uniforms looked a little strange, not only with wide belts, but also with cuffs and calves.In this way, their waist is their waist, their hips are their hips, their strong calves are their strong calves, and their good figures can be seen at a glance.

"Oh! I know them. They are the apprentices of Mr. Sun, the disciples of Mr. Gongliang!"

"When did Mr. Sun accept apprentices? I've never heard of it!"

Someone said triumphantly: "Don't you all know? I didn't know at first, but the sister-in-law of my second aunt's cousin's husband's family got married and met a little sister. That little sister had a brother who married a The daughter-in-law is..."

"Speak quickly! What's going on? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Since Mr. Sun became the chef of Enshan Mansion, he has recruited many people from Huangzhuang to help cook. Look carefully at the clothes of these people. Are there three characters embroidered on their chests? If I guessed correctly , that’s the word Enshan Mansion.”

Someone gasped: "Enshan Mansion has only been established for two years, which means that these people have only studied for two years?"

"What's the matter! Didn't you say that Mr. Gongliang has only studied cooking for three years?"

Someone immediately retorted: "No, no, it's different. Let's not say that Mr. Gongliang has a family background. Before he was accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Yi, he had taught himself for many years. You must know that Gongliang is also the surname of a family of chefs. Gongliang Mister's talent must be extremely high. But this group of people are just servants in the Huangzhuang. They are completely incomparable."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

The servants in Huangzhuang are a group of people who have taken care of the fields for the royal family for generations, and they are all ordinary people.Ordinary people can come to the chef conference after studying with Mr. Sun for two years, and the basic skills are still so good?After realizing this, many people couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts. These people can learn it, maybe I can too!

Princess Anqing booked a private room in the restaurant with several members of the fragrance club.Elder Tang Ge's wife pointed to the forty contestants from Enshan Mansion, and said, "Look at that side... I don't know why, but I always think they look good." Obviously these people do not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of this era Yes, they were tall, rough-skinned, and muscular.However, there is a kind of spirit in them, forty people standing together can firmly catch the attention of others.

It's a pity that she has never seen the military parade of later generations, so she was easily fooled by this small battle.

You know, Huaguo's military camp is known as the handsome man reform camp in later generations. If you hand over all those non-mainstream, killing Matt, washing, cutting and blowing to the country, the country will return you a group of sunny and handsome soldiers in a few months. elder brother.According to the method given by Yan Jinyun, Sun Er adopted a militarized management system in Enshan Mansion.The cooks under him, as long as they enter the Enshan Mansion, they will go through military training according to the standards of later generations, until they have the same organization and discipline as soldiers.It can be said that the chefs are not only learning cooking skills, but also learning the character of soldiers.

Such a helper may not be so conspicuous alone in the crowd. Yan Jinyun directly signaled Sun Er to send a gang out, standing back and forth in a square team, and they cut the vegetables in unison, which became a scenic spot.

A close look at their movements can make the human body appreciate the beauty of uniformity.And people are most afraid of comparison.Among the many chefs with short necks and big stomachs, it was really a foul for such a group of tall and fit men to appear suddenly.

After the basic skills competition, there are still 300 people left, and then it is time to compare the ability to go to the stove.The food made by these 300 people will be distributed to the crowd after the professional judges have tasted it.The preselection is not over until there are only 20 people left.Then these 20 people and the 12 people who were exempted from the test before, a total of 32 people will start the real chef conference.

All 40 people from Enshan Mansion stopped in the top 40.The professional judges commented: "The food you cook is too ingenious. The dishes made by [-] people are almost the same in my taste. This is actually a kind of sadness." When they took the basic skills test before, they [-] All the people pass the test excellently, but when they really go to the stove, they show that they have no aura.

One of the leaders among the 40 people bowed to the judges and said respectfully: "You are very reasonable. This is indeed our defect. But we didn't have any talent to learn cooking, and our sense of taste is no better than Ordinary people are sharper, and our ability to perceive is not better than ordinary people. We are the most ordinary and mediocre kind of people. Only by practicing day after day and year after year, we finally have the current results. Very satisfied."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Before the real chef conference started, Yan Jinyun set off another bloody storm in the capital.Because those 40 people were all his disciples, the family of chefs directly attacked him by name, thinking that he had no heart of a chef.

"He broke the rules in the industry! He ruined the chef's reputation!" The family of chefs really hated Yan Jinyun.

It's not all because the interests of the aristocratic family have been violated. Some famous chefs only care about cooking skills and don't bother to fight for fame and fortune, but they are also full of dissatisfaction with Yan Jinyun.Because they all regard cooking as sacred.

There are also people who support Yan Jinyun.They said: "The food at Enshan Mansion is too ingenious? To be honest, I stood in the front row during the competition and was lucky enough to taste a few bites. I thought it was delicious, and I felt happy after eating it. I Don’t know what celebrity chefs are judged by. But if I can make food like this, I’d be crazy happy!”

Everyone has already tacitly agreed that the threshold for learning to cook is very high, but when Yan Jinyun came here, he suddenly told the world that there is no threshold for learning to cook.As long as you study hard, study hard, and study hard, then you will definitely be able to learn.

For a moment, everyone in the capital seemed to be caught in this debate.

Scholars talked a lot in the restaurant, some supported Yan Jinyun, and some opposed him.At first, the majority were still opposed, until a porter passing by shook his head and said: "If you are not talented enough, you can't learn to cook? Then according to you, writing poems and Fu is not as talented as Master Xue. , can’t you write poetry?”

The porter laughed and left.His words were like a drop of water rolling into the boiling oil pan.

That's right, if talent is used to describe everything, shouldn't those who are not as talented as Xue Xingchang learn to write poetry?Are the poems they write destroying the rules of scholars, ruining the reputation of scholars, and making poetry lose its sanctity?But in fact, which scholar has not learned to compose poetry, and who among them has not composed a few poems?

"Learning to cook and writing poetry are two different things, right?" someone said unwillingly.

But there are those who have a flexible mind and have already thought of the two systems of the imperial examination system and the election system.When the imperial examination system did not become the mainstream, the officialdom was the officialdom of the aristocratic family, and it was difficult for the children of poor families to stand out.The implementation of the imperial examination system was also opposed by the aristocratic family.They think that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.But in fact?Even if some poor families are really mediocre, there will always be one or two extremely outstanding people out of thousands of poor families, who are even better than the family members!Looking through the history books, how many poor families have been looked down upon by the aristocratic families have written a magnificent page in history with their talents and abilities!

Now, their scholars are getting together to oppose Yan Jinyun. Isn't it against the relatively fair imperial examination system?With such a big hat off, let's just talk about scholars, who else would dare to say that Yan Jinyun did something wrong in public!

The scholars are the biggest navy force at this time.

Xue Xingchang, who was cited as an example in this incident, is an extremely romantic person, and such people often have a chivalrous heart.He hurriedly took the gift he had prepared, and ran to find Yuyuan: "I really want to see Mr. Gongliang right away, he must be a very interesting person, and I want to have a long talk with him." When Yan Jinyun became friends, Yan Jinyun often gave him some food, and he often praised Yan Jinyun's food in his poems.But Yan Jinyun has been honing his cooking skills in Huangzhuang all these years, and occasionally travels with the princess's carriage, and they have never met.

Yu Yuan figured it out, he didn't go to Yan Jinyun's place to eat or drink for several days, so he immediately wrote to Yan Jinyun.After getting the reply, Yu Yuan happily took Xue Xingchang into the carriage.The two are full of expectations.

The gift Xue Xingchang prepared was a beauty gift he had carefully made these days.

--------

"Didn't you prepare a gift? Take it out!" Yu Yuan poked Xue Xingchang with his elbow.

Xue Xingchang recalled the delicacies he had tasted, which made him sober in an instant.He immediately put away the shocked expression on his face, and said against his conscience: "I... I can't fully describe Mr. Gongliang's demeanor in my book. I have a new inspiration. I will change it, and I will change it right away." Those sentences that specifically describe Mr. Gongliang's snow-skinned appearance are all crossed out, and changed to "ah, he is so beautiful, so beautiful, how beautiful he is, I can't describe it" OK!
