After the gourmet up dressed as a spoiled man

Lin Shiyou gave Li Yu a look, and listened silently to the words of the people next to him. When the meal was almost finished, Lin Shiyou asked, "Brother, just now I heard everyone discussing the struggle for hegemony in the kitchen. We came from Lujia Village. , I want to ask what is going on here?"

The talking brother saw that Lin Shiyou had a handsome face and spoke politely, and the brother next to him was even more handsome and didn't look like a bad guy, so he said with confidence: "This is held by the largest restaurant in our town. All chefs can come to participate in the competition, and the rules of the competition are determined according to the number of applicants. It is said that the selection of a chef king can give 10 taels of silver! And it will be famous in our town by then, so why not!"

The little brother spoke excitedly, Li Yu rolled his eyes, and made up his mind, this opportunity is good, the time for me to appear on the stage has come!

"This competition sounds good, but I don't know where to sign up?"

"It's on Zhongxin Street, Bawang Building. The restaurant business is booming these days. Many chefs are signing up. If you want to go, go early!" The younger brother was cheerful and pointed the way for them. Finally, he squinted at Li Yuyouzhi The chicken patty in the bag, he licked his lips and thought to himself, "This brother's craftsmanship is really good, if he goes to the competition, he will definitely see it!"

Li Yu nodded and thanked his little brother, and went to see the results of the calligraphy competition with Lin Shiyou.

"Sanggong, let's sign up later! I also want to see what other cooks are cooking!"

"Okay, let's go over after listening to the results." Lin Shiyou took Li Yu's hand and walked to the competition stage. There were already many people standing in the audience waiting for the results. Li Yu was standing behind the crowd, whispering to Xianggong. An old man walked by at an unknown time.

The old man was well-dressed, thin but not stooped, his wrinkled eyes showed a kind and gentle expression, when he stared at Lin, two people smiled and asked, "Are you from Lujia Village?"

Li Yu showed suspicious eyes, and Lin Shiyou replied politely: "I am Mr. Lin Shiyou from Lujia Village. I don't know what the old man is doing?"

The old man nodded, stared at Lin Shiyou with probing eyes, and said after a while: "I see that although you are young, you have extraordinary luck. Are you willing to teach in Lujia Village for the rest of your life? Are you willing to come to the academy in the town?" Speaking of this After a while, "Maybe there is a chance to go to the capital in the future?"

Lin Shiyou looked at the person in front of him calmly. Although he looked approachable, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be able to read people's hearts. He had to be on guard, "You are welcome, old man. Thanks to Lujia Village for taking us in, it is enough to teach children to read. It's a good thing, it's not the work of a gentleman to be ambitious."

He didn't say much, and the old man laughed even more when he heard it, "Okay, okay, if you want to come to the town, you can come to Yipin Academy to find me anytime." Wushui, who is this old gentleman?

After a while, the crowd quieted down, and one of the principals began to announce the list of the top three, "No.3, Baima Academy in the town, Wang An!" A burst of applause erupted from the crowd. Last year, Master Wang was No.3. This year's participants are so Many of them were able to make the list, and they all praised him.Wang An also showed an expected look, chuckled and cupped his hands.

"No.2, first grade academy in the town, Qian Ping!"

This time there was no applause, but the crowd immediately became noisy, "Master Qian is number one every year, why is he second this year!"

"Master Qian is the best teacher in Yipin Academy, and his calligraphy is even better! Many wealthy gentry still collect his calligraphy and paintings!"

"How did you choose? Who can win Mr. Qian!"

Li Yu listened quietly, and whispered in Lin Shiyou's ear, "My husband, I think this No.1 must be yours! Look at that Mr. Qian's face is turning green."

Lin Shiyou couldn't help teasing him when he saw his naughty eyes, patted his waist and said in a low voice: "Don't forget what you said, if I win No.1, you have to prepare a lottery for me." .”

"Hmph, I keep my word!"

As soon as the voice fell, the chief announced the final result, "No.1, Lujiacun Academy, Lin Shiyou."

The people who watched the excitement were whispering, and every year the calligraphy competition was won by the masters from the academy in the town.

Moreover, this Lujia Village has never participated in the competition before. This year, it won the first place. This is Master Lin's skill!

"Who is Lin Shiyou, I haven't heard of it!"

"It seems that everyone has never heard of it. I heard that Mr. Academy in Lujia Village is a Juren from the capital. Could it be him?"

"Hey, this Juren is rare, there are only one Juren in so many academies in our town!"

Lin Shiyou took the stage amidst everyone's curious discussions and won the prize. People saw how young this Mrs. Juren is!He is also handsome, and behaves like a rich man. How could he teach in Lujia Village?

Li Yu stood at the end of the crowd with his mouth curled up and a small bag in his hand, staring at Lin Shiyou with burning eyes, "Master is really amazing, he even won a hundred coins, today is not in vain!"

Huzi also said excitedly, "Master Lin is too good! When can I practice calligraphy!"

"You have to learn from Mr. Lin for your current word of dog crawling!" Li Yu teased him with a smile.

Before leaving, the old man sent someone to send them another letter. Li Yu opened it and looked at it. It was nothing more than telling Lin Shiyou to go directly to the academy to find him when he came to town.

"Sir, I think that old gentleman is mysterious. Is he the manager of this academy?" Li Yu stuffed the letter in his bag and kept it, and when he heard Lin Shiyou replied: "I guess he is the dean of Yipin Academy." , I mentioned the capital just now, does it have anything to do with the capital?"

Lin Shiyou's thoughts were racing. In the past few months since he came to Lujia Village, he hadn't been able to find a chance to write a letter to contact his old friends and teachers in the capital. They couldn't send him a letter when the incident happened suddenly.

It's not convenient to be in the village now, and it seems that they still have to settle down in the town, and then they will take the initiative to contact them at that time.

Li Yu looked at Lin Shiyou's expression, seeing that he was frowning, he must be thinking about the capital.

"Since the old gentleman left us a token, maybe we will inevitably deal with him in the future, let's go to the restaurant first to have a look."

Lin Shiyou took Li Yu and Hu Zi to the Bawang Tower, and sure enough, people were crowding around the notice board at the entrance, and there was a clerk in charge of registration.Li Yu squeezed forward, "Brother, are you here to sign up for the Chef King Contest?"

The buddy glanced at him, this is obviously a brother, he looks good but his body is thin, the other chefs who signed up are all big guys, how can this be a competition!

"You want to sign up too? Today is the last day!" The man in charge replied to him.

"May I ask how many people have signed up now?" Li Yu glanced at the list just now, and estimated that there are twenty or thirty people.

The buddy checked the number of people, "No more, no less, exactly 29 people, including you, there are 30 people!"

Lin Shiyou stood behind the crowd and carefully read the rules of the competition. After registration, in the first round, each person chooses to cook a dish. Ten professional judges and fifty randomly selected public judges will vote. Each person can only vote for one dish. votes, and the top [-] voters will enter the next round.

In the second round, fixed ingredients are given to the contestants to play freely, and the top ten will enter the third round.In the third round, a fixed dish name is given, and the contestants cook the same dish for competition, and the top three are selected.In the final round of the competition, the three can cook their own specialty dishes, and the jury will finally vote to decide who will be the king of chefs.

It seems that the rules are reasonable, and the announcement also specifically stated that the dishes made by the same contestant in each round cannot be repeated. The ingredients and stoves for the first round must be prepared by themselves, and the ingredients for the other rounds are provided by restaurants. A round of competition will be held every three days , if you are named the chef king, you can get a reward of ten taels of silver.

Every year, people come to participate in the competition, and this ten taels of silver is enough for half a year's expenses for ordinary people, and it is famous in the town, and all the restaurants are vying for VIPs, and those who are capable can rent their own shops and become their own bosses!

In the past two years, the chef kings have all come from the next town. With so many applicants this year, there may be even better ones!

Li Yu immediately decided to sign up, and had to think about what to cook when he returned home.

"Xiao Yu, I heard that for the past two years, the king of chefs has been a cook named Ding Ba. He usually works in a restaurant in the next town, but he is from Lujia Village." Lin Shiyou and Li Yu left the Bawang Building While walking, he said, "We didn't hear about this person when we were in the village, we can ask Hu Ziniang when we go back."

"This restaurant chef should have a lot of skills, otherwise he can't win the championship for two consecutive years." Li Yu put his arm around Huzi's shoulders, full of confidence, "But I participated this year, and this No.1 must be mine!"

When Li Yu spoke, his expression was smug, his eyebrows and eyes were lively, the noon sun shone on his side face, Lin Shiyou's gaze slipped from the end of his eyes to the corner of his raised mouth, brother Yu looked handsome, at this moment The average appearance is more attractive.

"Xiao Yu will definitely win the championship." Lin Shi nodded his nose: "This street is where the town's vendors gather, and it looks very prosperous."

Huzi was looking around, the sugar sellers, the jugglers, and the buns, wontons, flatbreads and other snacks, all of which looked very fresh!

Li Yu also observed carefully. There are many shops here, and there are three restaurants. The biggest one is the Bawang Building just now.

However, there are only a few staple foods, and there are no new snacks. It seems that I have to study a few new snacks when I go back!

Walking to a street clothing store, Lin Shiyou dragged Li Yu in to choose a few pieces of fabric. The proprietress saw the two men's clothes and thought that they were too poor to afford expensive fabrics, so she directly brought some coarse fabrics for them to choose.

"Madam proprietress, please bring some cotton and satin, the color should be light." Lin Shiyou is not annoyed by the way the proprietress looks at people ordering dishes, the important thing is to choose a few suitable clothes for Xiao Yu.

The proprietress rolled her eyes and hurriedly laughed and laughed: "Look at my eyes, I took the wrong one, I took the wrong one, please come here, you two, all the good materials are here."

Li Yu carefully selected two bolts of cloth, both of which were aqua blue, and for Lin Shiyou, one of blue-gray and one of blue-green.

"Xiaoyu has ready-made clothes over there, let's pick them out too."

Lin Shiyou made the decision to give Li Yu a moon-white gown, which fit him with straight shoulders and a slender waist.

Brother Yu was very satisfied, "Master, do I look good?"
