Be careful, there are fat girls

Chapter 52 Boiled Cabbage

The six judges are all people who have traveled far and wide and eaten countless delicacies, so they dare not look at this dish with ordinary eyes.You know, the more proficient the master, the more simple and unpretentious the dishes he makes, but they have their unique taste.

Everyone picked up the soup and tasted a spoonful each, with surprised expressions in their eyes.

A middle-aged man clicked his tongue and said, "The soup is rich and extremely fresh."

Another beautiful woman nodded with a smile: "Fresh dishes, fresh soup, fresh colors, delicious taste, good dishes, good soup."

Several people nodded silently, exchanged opinions quickly, and told the master of ceremonies the result.

The master of ceremonies was slightly taken aback, and came to King Yu's seat, whispering softly.

King Yu's complexion changed slightly, he stood up with a smile on his face, came to the center of the stage, and said loudly to the people around him: "Everyone in the neighborhood, this contest was not intended to distinguish between you and me, it was originally held to donate to the victims of the disaster. But since the famous chefs have been busy for most of the day, there must be a result. After several judges finally decided, the winner of this competition is: Chef Bai from Deyilou."

The people below were in an uproar, unable to see that the winner was the only woman among so many chefs.

Bai Shi was speechless, and couldn't help but said, "How dare I be this?"

The only woman among the judges stood up with a smile and said, "Chef Bai, you've done us honor!"

Bai Shi was flustered, even if he was frying twenty tables of dishes at the same time, he had never been so nervous.

She looked at Mu Qingxi under the stands in a panic, but saw Mu Qingxi's eyes under the veil, shining brightly, nodding to her with a smile, and finally she felt certain and smiled back at her.

Ling Weiyang watched her actions with cold eyes, squinted at the fat woman under the stage, and couldn't help but secretly became suspicious, and had a ridiculous idea in his heart, could it be that the fat woman taught her this dish?

At this time, the imperial chef suddenly stepped forward, "Excuse me, Chef Bai, can you let me taste the dish you made?"

Bai Shi was stunned: "Oh, of course it can."

The imperial chef nodded to her, took a clean spoon again, took a spoonful, and slowly tasted it in his mouth.

Everyone held their breath, knowing that the royal chef in the palace must be arrogant and would not be convinced by such a result, so they did this move.

I saw the chef slowly finished a spoonful of soup, with a sad expression on his face, he put down the spoon, bowed his head towards Mrs. Bai and said, "I admire, Mr. Gao admits defeat."

The people around were in an uproar again!

If there are still many people questioning the results announced just now, those who doubt now have to believe that the "boiled cabbage" of Deyilou is even more delicious than Gao Yuchu's "full altar fragrance" go down.Most of the people sitting here know that this "mantanxiang" is Gao Yuchu's specialty dish, and even the emperor and queen mother are full of praise after eating it.

Ling Weiyang continued to laugh at this time and said: "Neighbors, today's competition is like this, but our main purpose is to help the victims of the disaster and raise donations for the victims. So all the dishes prepared by the chefs today, as long as everyone is willing to donate Come on stage and taste these rare and extraordinary delicacies for yourself.”

When the people below heard that they could come to the stage to taste, their eyes lit up immediately.

A lot of people were thinking about taking out a few coins from their purses and trying to sneak in, so His Royal Highness Yu Wang said slowly: "However, there are too many monks and too little porridge. Not only will it lose the meaning of our feast today, but if there are too many people, they may not be able to drink a few mouthfuls of the soup when they go in, and there will be only dregs left."

Everyone looked around, sure enough, there were no less than 500 to [-] people around, the stand was only that big, and there were only twenty kinds of dishes, how should they be divided?

I saw His Royal Highness Prince Yu smiling suavely, and with a wave of his hand, out of nowhere, a piece of white rice paper was written with the four characters of "Ji Shan Ren Jia".

Pointing to the words, he said: "The excellent Huizhou Shengxuan, today's imperial pen has personally carried it, and the emperor's private seal is stamped underneath."

He showed it around, and countless people's eyes widened immediately.

Ling Weiyang smiled proudly: "Do you want it? Then donate silver. Whoever donates the most, the top [-], can not only go in and taste the food, but also get a plaque personally proposed by the emperor."

There was a lot of noise in the audience, the plaque inscribed by the imperial pen is not easy to get, I didn't expect today's highlight to be here.

Ling Weiyang waved his hand, and the servant next to him immediately took out a pen and paper to make a record.

Ling Weiyang smiled lightly and said: "This king also knows that you will definitely not go out with a dozen or two million taels of silver when you go out, but everyone is an old neighbor. You know this king, and this king knows you. If you are willing to donate, come here Sign it, and the king will naturally send someone to the mansion to pick it up later, so I'm not afraid that you will run away."

He laughed out loud, but the people below knew he wasn't really joking.If there really is someone who is short-sighted and wants to take something without giving him money, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Yu will really chase him thousands of miles away. Even so, the money that should be paid will not be less.

Many people were thinking about the delicacies on the table, and they were even more envious of the plaque of "Jianshan Family" mentioned by Yubi himself. If they really want to get one, they are afraid that their ancestors will wake up laughing after lying on the ground for several generations.

There were a few rich local rich men who had always been rich but were not highly valued by others. They gritted their teeth and came to the boy, gave their names, and said grandly, "I will donate 10 taels. "

The boy smiled and sang loudly: "Master Du in Nancheng, 10 taels."

After taking notes, another middle-aged man with a fat belly refused to be outdone: "I donate 15 taels."

The servant smiled wide-eyed: "Master Fang, Beicheng, 15 taels."

More and more people began to rush forward, and finally the servant counted the top [-] donors and handed them over to Ling Weiyang.

Ling Weiyang was extremely satisfied, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the emperor, I would like to thank everyone for their generosity. How about this? In order to reward you, the top [-] can go in and taste the food at will, and each will get a plaque written by the emperor himself." .Although the rest of the people can't go in to taste the food, but this king will ask the emperor for a few more plaques like this as a reward. In a few days, they will be sent to all of you."

Those people below who were not in the top [-] were heartbroken to donate the money. When they heard that although they could not eat delicious food, the plaques written by the emperor would still be there, they couldn't help but smile.

Ling Weiyang also smiled with crooked brows and eyes, but he didn't expect to do it countless times better than expected at this time.

Thinking of the woman who proposed this matter, I couldn't help but feel moved. When I looked down the stage, I saw that fat woman had long since disappeared.

The results of the fundraising were unexpected.In the food competition, a total of 6805 million taels of silver was donated in the fundraising alone, which is astonishingly high.In addition to the various jewelry donated by the noble ladies of various prefectures, the amount of silver sold for charity is also 2704 million taels.

When the emperor looked at this list, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Third brother, third child, I didn't expect that your ability to steal money is much better than mine!"

Ling Weiyang twitched the corners of his lips, and said with a smirk: "Brother Huang, it's because your words are more important."

"Oh?" The emperor was very interested: "Why don't I ask Master Chen to write a few more? How many do you want?"

Ling Weiyang fled in despair.

Riding on the horse with his whole body relaxed, Ling Weiyang heaved a long sigh of relief, finally he could have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, I came to a clothing store, and suddenly saw a long line in front of that store, and a notice was pasted on the wall. After walking a few steps forward, I clearly saw three large characters on the notice: Accumulate the list of good deeds.

He smiled lightly, it seems that all the people in the capital are making various efforts for this disaster relief.Just as he was about to continue walking, he suddenly saw two small characters on the signboard of this tailor shop: Yu Ji.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his heart. The jewelry store is also Yuji. On the upper right corner of the signboard of Deyi Building, although it is not obvious, there are two small characters: Yuji.

He gritted his teeth secretly, that's why.

The fundraising was one after another, and the one who benefited in the end was actually that fat girl!

In the private room on the third floor of Deyi Building, a roomful of people were sitting. On the left were Mu Qingxi, Nanny Feng and Mo Xiang, on the right were Xu Menglin, Guan Yunshan, and Pei Xingye, and at the bottom was shopkeeper Hu from the jewelry store. Lu Sande, the shopkeeper of Deyilou, Zhuo Hongdao of the tailor shop, and Bai Shi who just came back.

Bai Shi was still in a state of excitement, and when she saw Mu Qingxi, she was almost speechless.

Mu Qingxi teased and said, "What's the matter? Are you too excited?"

Bai Shi was very embarrassed: "This dish is actually your idea, Shi Zifei, and I am ashamed to accept it."

Mu Qingxi shook her hands and said, "That's because you are talented and you can teach it as soon as you teach it. If you change to someone who is stupid, you still can't learn the essence of this dish. That's enough, you're the teacher."

The crowd laughed.

Bai shyly said, "When the imperial concubine taught the servant this dish, the servant still felt puzzled. With so many excellent chefs around, how could such an ordinary and inconspicuous boiled cabbage be included in the favorites of those gourmet masters?" In the eyes. Unexpectedly, I let the slaves take the lead."

Mu Qingxi smiled complacently: "Those people have a greasy stomach after eating, and they will feel fresher if they change to a clear soup with little water. What's more, this dish doesn't even have any oil, but the soup is rich and delicious. It's not what those people imagined."

Bai nodded and said: "Yes, not only chicken soup is used, but also the soup is made of scallops, elbows, fresh mushrooms and other things that have been hung for three or four hours to get the color, of course it will have such a good taste.

Mu Qingxi smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law Bai, now that you are able to stand alone, you don't need to call yourself a slave in front of me in the future. You are free, not anyone's slave."

The Bai family was both surprised and delighted: "Shi Zifei"

Mu Qingxi said with a smile: "I have noticed your hard work, and you deserve it."
