Traveling through life to become rich

Chapter 87 Advancing to the Quarterfinals

The setting sun and sunset glow are just when the sky is getting dark, and there is a cool breeze blowing in the courtyard.

There is a tense atmosphere in the air, which makes people a little breathless.

The results of the third round of the preliminary competition have been announced, the selected candidates had relaxed smiles on their faces, and the seven eliminated ones hurried back to pack up and salute with looks of frustration.

Xie Mingyu was selected without any surprise and got the ticket for the semi-finals.

Yan Chuan still couldn't see any emotion on his face, closed the cloth in his hand, and said lightly: "Congratulations to everyone who won the preliminary round. The semi-finals will be held in three days. At that time, the imperial dining room will send [-] royal chefs. The form will compete with everyone, and the final [-] winners will be selected to cook delicacies for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and please rest well during the period."

After Yan Chuan finished speaking, he turned and left without stopping.

After the first two times, everyone got used to Yan Chuan's way of doing things, seeing him turn and leave, they also dispersed.

Lu Xing was also successfully selected into the top [-]. The smile on his face never faded. He wanted to invite Xie Mingyu back to his residence, but in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. He shrugged and had to go back alone.

Because of Shen Yanzhi, the little eunuch named Qingzhu who was serving Xie Mingyu had been taken away by Eunuch Yang, and he had arranged other things to do. After a trip, I sealed a generous gift for Qingzhu, of course, the gift from Eunuch Yang was even richer.

Xie Mingyu has a close friendship with An Shizi of Duke An's mansion, and now he is under the protection of the Twelve Princes, and even the personal servants have to be in charge, which shows that his status is precious. In order to please, he was very close to Xie Mingyu, and now that he has received another generous gift, he is full of praise for him. In his words, he briefly mentioned a few things about the inner imperial dining room

situation.

The inner imperial dining room, also known as the "Yangxindian imperial dining room", has five bureaus, including the meat bureau, vegetarian bureau, hanging stove bureau, dim sum bureau, and meal bureau. There are hundreds of people. In order to cater to the emperor's taste, the royal chefs do everything possible to search for strange food recipes. Countless delicacies come from here. It can be said that there are many talents.

Eunuch Yang knew that Xie Mingyu was a dessert chef, so he specifically mentioned the situation of the dim sum bureau.

There are 23 royal chefs in the Dim Sum Bureau, and the most powerful one is Zhao Lan. As for how good it is, let’s put it this way, sometimes when the emperor loses his appetite, the only thing he wants to eat is Zhao Lan’s desserts.

In the words of Eunuch Yang, as long as they don't match up with Zhao Lan, the chances of winning the rematch will increase a lot.

Although Xie Mingyu was not very nervous about the rematch, she was still very grateful to Eunuch Yang, thanked him solemnly, and went upstairs to her room.

The study in Yihengrui courtyard is called Jingxinzhai.

Xuan paper was spread out on the desk, and Yi Hengrui was concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

Yihengqi's voice suddenly came from outside the door, with joy: "Brother Huang, I'm back and I brought you something special, do you want to have a taste?"

Most of the word 'quiet' is written on the rice paper, the bones are straight, the calmness is diluted, just like this person.

It's a pity that the horizontal line in the back is broken halfway, which seems to be a fly in the ointment.

That was because when Yi Hengqi spoke suddenly, Yi Hengrui was startled suddenly and his hands trembled.

Yi Hengqi walked in with a lively face, leaned over to the desk, saw that most of the static characters were written on the rice paper, and commented without rules and spacing: "Oh, it's a pity that the writing is wasteful."

Yi Hengrui put down the brush, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Hengqi, can't you honestly ask the servant to report before you come in?"

Like a troublesome little fox, Yihengqi said with a smile, "Brother Huang, I came in after I finished speaking."

As he spoke, he put a small purple sand jar on the desk, reflecting the pen, ink, inkstone and paper on the desk, it looked a bit abrupt no matter how you looked at it.Yi Hengrui frowned, removed the waste rice paper, and asked Yi Hengqi: "What is this?"

Yi Hengqi flaunted: "Hey, the good thing I brought from Anguo Gongfu is a side dish called sauerkraut. It tastes great when served with Huang Song Cake and other pasta. I brought it here specially for my brother to try it out, oh , Mother also sent a jar."

Yi Hengrui laughed and reprimanded: "Just ask the servant to send it over. If you have this time, you should feel at ease in your yard to read and learn something. If you find a free time, just sneak out to play. It's obviously lazy."

Yi Hengqi stuck out his tongue: "Brother Huang is too serious, besides, it's already time, don't practice calligraphy, let's have dinner together."

Yi Hengrui was about to reprimand him a few more words, but by chance an attendant came in through the open wooden door of the study, bowed his back and said respectfully: "Your Highness, dinner is ready."

Yihengqi cheered, and threw the purple sand jar to the waiter: "Get a plate here, pour a little sesame oil on it, and add a plate of yellow sponge cake

"

The waiter quickly agreed.

Seeing this, Yi Hengrui let out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and let him go.

Xie Mingyu pushed open the door, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Yanzhi only wore a middle coat, and fell asleep lying on the soft couch. Because the weather was a bit hot, he was uncovered, and the skirt of the middle coat was slightly disheveled. Seeing a few crimson hickeys dotted on it, people can't help but have charming thoughts.

However, his face was so pure, and he held a small soft pillow in his arms, which was just brought from home, filled with brocade and dried peach petals, with a faint peach blossom fragrance.

Xie Mingyu felt his heart was full, he closed the door carefully, walked over lightly, took a thin silk quilt and covered Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi did not fall asleep, but woke up after blinking.

Xie Mingyu smiled: "Woke you up?"

Seeing that Xie Mingyu had returned, Shen Yanzhi quickly sat up, and asked expectantly: "No, I'll just squint for a while, brother, what happened?"

Xie Mingyu put the thin quilt on Shen Yan's body, sat sideways on the couch and rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Smooth promotion, the rematch will be held in three days."

Shen Yanzhi cheered: "Brother is amazing!"

Xie Mingyu smiled dotingly, bowed her head and kissed the corner of his lips.

It is said that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, and Shen Yanzhi is not a person who indulges in lust. Right now, Xie Mingyu just touched the corner of his lips lightly, but he couldn't help being tempted, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, and a sweet moan escaped from his throat.

Xie Mingyu gave a smirk, and put his palm into his loose skirt.

She had already done it once during the day, Xie Mingyu was afraid that Shen Yanzhi's body would not be able to bear it, so she didn't dare to make trouble with him too much, she just hugged and made intimacy, but didn't go to the end.

Shen Yanzhi didn't sleep well last night, and vented a few times today, his energy was really unbearable, and he fell asleep soon after dinner.

The night was so quiet, the room could hear each other's breathing, Xie Mingyu hugged Shen Yanzhi in his arms, and closed his eyes contentedly

eye.

In the early morning, Xie Mingyu was awakened by knocking on the door.

Shen Yanzhi slept deeply in Xie Mingyu's arms, and had no intention of waking up at all, his soft and smooth body curled up slightly, with his cheek pressed against Xie Mingyu's firm chest.

He didn't hear the answer, so he knocked a few more times outside, and at the same time, Lu Xing's excited voice came from outside the door: "Brother Xie, have you woken up yet?"

? "

Shen Yanzhi moved in his arms, as if he was about to wake up in a daze, Xie Mingyu kissed his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, you can continue to sleep."

Xie Mingyu got up and pulled off a coat at the head of the bed and put it on, walked around the screen with her shoes to open the door.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter so early?"

There used to be 18 people in their small building, but now there are only four people left. When there is no competition, everyone stays in the house and does not visit each other.

Apart from talking to Lu Xing a few times, Xie Mingyu had no conversation with the other two who were nodding acquaintances.

Lu Xing said with a smile: "Oh, good news, I just practiced outside, and I heard that a prince is going to visit the imperial garden of Jingyunmen today, and lunch will be served in the imperial dining room outside, let's join in the fun and have a look? "

Xie Mingyu was quite moved when he heard this. These contestants are not allowed to go to other places, except the outer imperial dining room. As long as they register, they can use the stove inside to practice their hands. Lu Xing said that he wanted to take a look. In fact, it can be regarded as getting a feel for the details of the royal chefs.Xie Mingyu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, and made an appointment with Lu Xing to go to the outer imperial dining room together.
