Tian's little cook

Chapter 675 Becoming an Imperial Cook
The chefs who can participate in the royal chef competition will not be bad at cooking.

Lin Zhimo was in the second group. Watching the cooks in the first group cooking, frying, frying and stewing, using all eighteen kinds of martial arts, he wished to show all he had learned all his life.

But there are also cooks who make frequent mistakes because of nervousness.

There is a time limit for cooking. After a stick of incense, all the chefs in the competition stopped, and the two royal chefs and Lu Gonggong tasted the prepared dishes one by one. At the same time, a young eunuch wrote something in the booklet beside him.

Lin Zhimo guessed that it should be the score, and in the end it should be the best choice.

When it was the turn of Lin Zhimo's group, she had already ordered the dishes to be cooked, calmly chose the ingredients, and began to cook with peace of mind.

While she knew she should have a good chance of being picked, she didn't take it lightly.

One is to prove oneself, and the other is to respect peers.

These people are all outstanding chefs. It is an honor for Lin Zhimo to compete with them on the same stage, so he will naturally take it seriously.

This time, Lin Zhimo made two dishes, one was West Lake vinegar fish, and the other was stewed whip bamboo shoots, which happened to be meat and vegetables.

As the only female cook in the second group, when Lin Zhimo was cooking, the people off the court stared at her the longest.

It seems that she is not in a hurry to cook, but the whole process is smooth and smooth, without any redundant steps.

When the time came, Lin Zhimo had already prepared the dishes and cleaned up the table, which won the favor of the two royal chefs.

Eunuch Lu and the chef came to her counter and tasted the dishes she cooked.

Because these two dishes are famous Jiangnan dishes, one of the imperial cooks asked, "Are you good at cooking Jiangnan dishes?"

Lin Zhimo nodded and said with a smile, "I'm from Jiangnan, and I'm more familiar with Jiangnan cuisine."

Eunuch Lu tasted a piece of fish, nodded and said, "That's right, the little girl is young, but she is very skilled in cooking."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Lin Zhimo immediately bowed his head and thanked him very modestly.

After all the chefs scored, Eunuch Lu and the two imperial chefs discussed for a while before announcing: "There are two people selected this time. Ren Cong from Yuanjutang and Lin Zhimo from Yangxiaotang will stay. go out."

Knowing that he was selected, Lin Zhimo was finally relieved.

Ren Cong is a middle-aged chef, he is white and fat, and looks very gentle.

He smiled at Lin Zhimo, and the two walked to Eunuch Lu together.

"Congratulations to both of you for becoming the royal chefs." Eunuch Lu said routinely.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lu, for his promotion." Lin Zhimo hurriedly thanked him, and Ren Cong followed suit.

"From today onwards, you are the cooks in the palace, so naturally you have to live in the palace. You go outside to find your own shopkeeper to get your luggage, and arrange accommodation after you come back. Someone will explain the rules of the palace to you in the afternoon."

"Yes." The two agreed, and followed a young eunuch to the meeting place in the morning.

Shopkeeper Qin was waiting with his luggage.Lin Zhimo packed the luggage last night and brought it in the morning.

"Miss Lin, congratulations." Shopkeeper Qin smiled and handed over the luggage.

While others were not paying attention, he lowered his voice and quickly said, "There are bank notes and some silver in the luggage, you will need them in the palace."

"Understood, thank you." Lin Zhimo took it and weighed it, and it was a little heavier.

After saying a few words, Lin Zhimo bid farewell to Shopkeeper Qin, took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the palace.

From today onwards, she will face unknown challenges.

But at this moment, Huangfuchu, who walked out of the palace gate, immediately learned the news that Lin Zhimo had been selected.

He turned around on the spot, quietly looking at the palace walls that separated him from Lin Zhimo.
