lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the female partner (quick pass)!
Lin Dan's bold and outspoken words surprised the emperor very much. He originally didn't like this shameless little woman, but now, there is a hint of interest in his eyes, "I can naturally guarantee the fairness of this test. I will only watch and do not comment. Who is the best in your cooking skills? , These old gluttons and old chefs have the final say."
Lin Dan faced several referees, bowed one by one, and said: "That said, but this competition is still unfair to the ladies. Yan Yuchu is very much used by your majesty, and now you still put the incense Yuan lent her to the competition, and came to watch the battle in person. Your behavior has shown your attitude-you are inclined to her. And you are the lord of the world, how dare your people violate your will. Today, as soon as I stepped into the Fragrant Garden, I actually lost. I understand the truth, and the emperor’s wise and martial arts should also understand."
The more they listened, the more horrified they became. They never expected Lin Dan to be so outspoken.
The emperor laughed loudly, his eyes were full of interest: "So, how are you going? Do you want to continue this competition?"
Yan Langqing showed a complicated expression. If so, she would naturally want to compete with Lin Dan dignifiedly, but she couldn't help but appreciate the emperor's defense of her. Yan Shouye felt that there was no need to continue this competition at all. Lin Dan took the humiliation by himself today. When his daughter becomes the empress, he must kill Lin Dan!
However, Lin Dan nodded without hesitation: "Naturally, I want to compare, but for the sake of fairness, the rules are up to me. May I ask your majesty? I think that when I competed with Yan Yuchu for the first time, because I’m the chef of Hou’s house, and my father is very much loved by Hou Yongding. For the sake of fairness, Yan Yuchu decides the schedule. She decides what to compare, how to compare, and who will be the referee. Now we both have the final say. When the situation is reversed, I made the same request. Isn’t that too much?"
The emperor glanced at Yan Langqing and nodded: "It's really not too much. Tell me, how would you like to compare?"
Although Lin Dan seems to have the dominant power, the deterrent power of imperial power still exists. Even if she cooks the most delicious dishes, just a word from the referee can knock her down into the abyss. The so-called fairness has never existed in the face of power. Lin Dan is bold, but not so smart. Thinking of this, the emperor shook his head secretly, feeling blank.
Lin Dan said without hesitation: "In this competition, we use the same ingredients to make the same dishes, not many, just one dish."
Yan Langqing asked: "What do you want to do?"
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, shall we make rice dumplings?" Lin Dan turned his head to look at her and smiled slightly.
Yan Langqing was stunned, and it took a while before she came back to her senses and nodded slowly. Through the four signature dishes, she had a little understanding of Lin Dan's level. She thought she would try extremely difficult dishes, but she didn't expect that she would propose to make rice dumplings. However, Yan Langqing wasn't upset at all. The maidens in the palace also like to eat zongzi. She has packaged all kinds of zongzi, and they are well received, so she is not afraid of it. The maidens in the palace are more tricky than the other, and can serve them well, so she naturally serves several referees.
"You and I each pack 50 catties of rice dumplings, and only meat dumplings, can you?" Lin Dan continued.
"Has fifty catties?" Yan Langqing finally showed a surprised expression.
"Can you?" Lin Dan looked at her straightforwardly.
"Yes."
"Very good, so please provide us with one hundred catties of glutinous rice, fifty catties of pork belly, glutinous rice and pork belly do not need to be separated, we use a bucket, we enter the kitchen to distribute, if we need additional condiments, You can also raise it to the palace alone without interfering with each other. Is that okay?" Lin Dan bowed his hands, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
The emperor nodded and said: "I've gotten it, let's go to make preparations." Who will eat 50 catties of meat dumplings each? Lin Dan, is this the one who wants to die?
Not only was the emperor surprised, but the other guests were also puzzled. However, Lin Dan and Yan Langqing had already gone to the kitchen one after another, and there was no time to ask what happened. Even if she asks, she probably won't give an answer, so let's wait until the meat dumplings are finished. I thought this was a competition that had already been won before it even started, but I didn't expect it would be set as a suspense by Lin Dan. This shopkeeper Lin was quite interesting.
No matter how you might speculate, Lin Dan, who entered the kitchen, is already feeling calm. One hundred catties of glutinous rice was packed in a huge wooden barrel, and was carried in by the palace man out of breath, followed by a bucket with fifty catties of pork belly.
Lin Dan twisted the glutinous rice with his hands, nodding with satisfaction.
Yan Langqing said warmly: "Your worries are a bit redundant. I will not be so despicable to let them prepare the ingredients for me and the poor ingredients for you. You will pick glutinous rice and pork first, and I will use the rest. Of."
Lin Dan turned his head to look at each other, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then thank Yan Yuchu."
Yan Langqing slowly rolled up her sleeves, "Then shall we start now?"
"Okay, but before that, I have to specify the shape and size of the zongzi, do you have no opinion?" Lin Dan took out three zongzi leaves, rolled them into a cone, put some glutinous rice, and tied them with a rope to indicate Said: "Can you make the same shape and the same size?"
This request was really strange, but Yan Langqing didn't think much about it, nodded and said: "Yes." She immediately wrapped a triangular rice dumpling that was exactly the same, and handed it to Lin Dan for inspection.
Lin Dan untied the two rice dumplings, put the glutinous rice back in, and smiled lightly: "Then we can start."
The two each occupy a stove and get busy. Yan Langqing first soaked the glutinous rice, then sliced the pork belly into thin slices and marinated them with soy sauce, fine salt, sugar, peanut oil and other seasonings. When she raised her head, she found that Lin Dan was cooking on the stove, and the glutinous rice and pork belly did not move. .
I don’t even have the rice dumplings. What is the stove doing at this time? She was surprised, and she couldn’t help but look at it more. Then she realized that Lin Dan’s cooking stove was not firewood, but the sesame sticks specially asked for by the palace staff. The sesame sticks contained many ripe sesame seeds and were caught by the flames. When licking, there was a beeping sound, and another unique burnt incense came out, which was extremely rich.
Yan Langqing involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling more curious in her heart.
Lin Dan didn’t even look at her. He just gathered the burnt sesame stalks in one place, wrapped them in a thin silk cloth, and rubbed them in the cool white water until the clear water became muddy. The grey water was filtered several times with fine silk cloth to make sure that there was no residue, and then the glutinous rice was soaked in.
The snow-white glutinous rice was stained with a dirty color after entering the water, and Yan Langqing's mind instantly popped out four big characters-the violent thing! These rice dumplings are to be eaten by a few referees. Isn't it dirty? She was full of puzzles, but she couldn't deal with it, and she didn't want to deal with it. This competition is related to her reputation, and she naturally won't stop Lin Dan from death.
Lin Dan soaked glutinous rice and began to process pork belly. The seasoning she chose was similar to Yan Langqing, with only a slight difference in weight. When everything was ready, she started making zongzi. It can be seen that her method of wrapping zongzi is very sophisticated. When the wrist is turned over, the zong leaves are rolled up. Put some glutinous rice underneath, stuff a piece of meat in the middle, and put some glutinous rice on top, compact it gently with your hands, and then press the zong leaves. Close it, tie it with a rope, and finally tie a small knot at the end of the rope.
Yan Langqing also started to wrap the rice dumplings, the size and shape were exactly the same as those of Lin Dan, and after wrapping one, he threw it into the basin next to him and waited for it to be cooked.
From morning to afternoon, the two finally packaged 50 catties of zongzi each, and placed them in two buckets of the same size and shape. They were already cooked and steaming. Before everyone judged, Lin Dan counted the number of good rice dumplings, then walked to Yan Langqing's wooden barrel, and slowly said: "You and I will exchange positions."
Although Yan Langqing was full of doubts, she felt that there was nothing, so she walked to her barrel and stood still. Even if she changed positions, she recognized her barrel, could it be greedy by Lin Dan?
Lin Dan invited all the guests here and said, "Can you please bring two guards into the kitchen, adults, and exchange the positions of the two barrels placed on the left and right. You can exchange as many times as you like, no Of course, exchange is also possible. After one adult exchanges, another adult enters to continue the exchange. After five rounds, no one is allowed to tell how many exchanges he has exchanged."
"What on earth do you want to do?" The emperor couldn't see Lin Dan's way. Logically speaking, once the zongzi has been wrapped, it is time to peel off a few for the referee to taste, and then decide the winner. But now, Lin Dan seems to be playing a game, and he seems to be teasing everyone. Who on earth has she borrowed the courage from?
"Your Majesty has already promised that this competition is left to the minds of the grassroots. Are these words still counted?" Lin Dan didn't answer the question.
The emperor twisted his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Five people come out, go in and exchange the positions of the two barrels."
Tang Jiu, King of Dianqian County, Prince Cheng, Prince Gong, and Weiyuanhou immediately stood up.
Yan Langqing hesitated for a moment, but did not raise any objections after all. Although these people are all loyal fans of Lin Dan, they are not referees, and they are not qualified to judge zongzi, and they did not hinder the competition at all. Does Lin Dan want to confuse two buckets of zongzi so that the referee can't tell which one made it? This method is indeed very clever, but she forgot that the several old royal cooks present here all came out of the imperial dining room and are very familiar with Yan Langqing’s craftsmanship. Several of them were specially invited by the emperor to teach her cooking skills. She is half a master.
They wouldn't be able to tell who made the two kinds of zongzi. What's more, Lin Dan used that dirty method to treat the glutinous rice, and the zongzi wrapped in it can be eaten? Yan Langqing was very suspicious of this, and already believed that he could win. Lin Dan was not as good as her ten years ago, and it will be the same ten years later.
The emperor also guessed Lin Dan's intentions, and couldn't help but shook his head. The shopkeeper Lin loves to be clever, but he always has no idea.
After Tang Jiu exchanged wooden barrels, they walked out with a gloomy expression. In their view, everything Lin Dan did was a dying struggle. In this competition, she had already lost the moment she received the challenge. There is no justice under the power, and she should understand that.
Lin Dan’s expression is very relaxed, he said: "The schedule is over, and then I have to set the rules of the game. Everyone here has a tendency, it is inevitable that it will be unfair, and in my opinion, they are not good referees. Candidates. I want to take these two buckets of zongzi to the gate of the city, peel them apart and cut them into pieces, let those who enter the city taste them, and then according to their preferences, let them pick a zongzi and take it away. Whose zongzi will be taken by the people first After that, whoever wins will win. Is it fair? Don’t worry, I marked the zongzi to tell which bucket belongs to, and I counted in advance. There are 400 zongzi each in the two buckets. Put the extra one. On the side, so as not to judge the result."
