However, this call gave Chu Qiao an idea. She puffed up her chest and lowered her voice.
"I didn't expect you to recognize me."
"emperor!"
Poof, the old imperial chef instantly dwarfed by half, knelt at Chu Qiao's feet, and burst into tears with excitement.
Chu Qiao was so shocked that she backed away repeatedly. It took her a long time to realize that he was not kneeling to herself, but to the emperor. He really regarded her as the emperor.
After wiping the cold sweat that broke out, Chu Qiao was very lucky. Thanks to the big guy who went to guard the door, otherwise, if outsiders heard what she said, wouldn't she have lost her head?
After clearing her throat, Chu Qiao asked.
"Get up. I want to know your experience in cooking for the royal family. Let me tell you."
"This slave obeys the order..."
The old man stopped going crazy now. He stood up slowly, with an arrogant look on his face, and started talking about the ways of a royal chef. He explained it clearly and methodically. He talked about it all night long without stopping. This emperor's life is really good.
Use it, Chu Qiao's eyes widened when she heard it, until the old man yawned and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, let me, my servant, sleep for a while..." As he spoke, he snored.
Seeing the gray-haired old imperial chef lying on the ground, Chu Qiao felt pity in his heart. He worked hard for the emperor and was loyal, but it was a pity that he was too upright and ended up like this.
Chu Qiao pinched her forehead, looked back at the dilapidated room, and sighed.
"I'll come here to help you clean from time to time, so I can repay your kindness for teaching me cooking."
After helping the old man to the bed, Chu Qiao tidied and cleaned the room from top to bottom before leaving in a hurry.
When I returned to the outer dining room, it was already dawn. As soon as I stepped in, I heard many palace maids talking.
"I heard that more than 500 people participated in the imperial dining room assessment. They are all clean and pure girls. Most of them were selected by the private sector, and there are some from our palace. I heard that those who passed the assessment can be
Entering the imperial dining room."
"There are more than five hundred people, but the imperial kitchen only needs four female cooks."
"It all depends on who is capable. Some people were eliminated in the first round. They will go back where they came from."
Listening to this discussion, Chu Qiao's head was spinning. Five hundred people took part in the assessment, but only four people took part. The odds... She pinched her fingers and did the math, feeling that her hope was really slim.
Things were far more difficult than she imagined. Once she stepped into the palace, she couldn't help herself.
Pushing open the door of the room, Chu Qiao took a broom and walked out. She hadn't slept all night. She couldn't help but yawned. Lan Hui also changed her clothes and came out. When she saw Chu Qiao, she was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly.
.
"I wonder why Empress Zhaoyi sent you, a loser, to the imperial kitchen? You are clumsy and can only do things like mopping the floor and plastering. Eunuch Ping also signed you up for the assessment. It is a waste of quota, but it's okay.
After seven days, I want to see who can step through the door of the imperial kitchen, huh."
With a snort, Lan Hui pulled her blue clothes and walked out arrogantly.
Unexpectedly, Lan Hui also participated in the assessment seven days later? She actually wanted to enter the imperial dining room? Well, instead of being the personal maid of Concubine Jin Hui, she actually wanted to work as a female cook in the imperial dining room. What was she worried about?
Chu Qiao was cleaning the debris on the floor with suspicion. The old chef's words were still ringing in her ears over and over again. She didn't know if what he said was useful. What he said last night was all nonsense.
, is not complete. If you want to cope with the assessment, it is far from enough. You must go frequently recently. I just don’t know if what the old royal chef said when he was crazy was reliable.
