Chapter 471 The Referee of the Cook Competition

"Why haven't you started yet?"

"Are you still going to compete? Or are you just standing there in the sun?"

"Let's get started quickly, or the ingredients will spoil."

Cuiyun Residence in front.

The people urged them on, and even the contestants were getting a little anxious.

What's all the noise about?

Choi Shin-ki stepped onto the ring and arrogantly declared, "I'm hosting this competition, so it can start whenever I want!"

"If you're not satisfied, then organize your own!"

Cui Tietou.

That's not a good time to argue.

This guy actually dares to jump down from the high platform and hit people.

"Oh?"

Cheng Huailiang pushed through the crowd and led a large group of military sons forward: "You said you were organizing a competition, but it turned out to be a complete mess."

"Don't be fooled by Choi Shin-ki, he's just making fun of you all!"

These words sparked a great deal of discussion among the people.

but……

But there was little reaction.

They're just here to watch the show; they don't care if you're messing around or not.

"Cheng Huailiang, this is none of your business, get out of here!" Fang Yi'ai stepped forward and angrily berated him.

"What? You want to hit me?"

Cheng Huailiang sneered: "Come on, I'm standing right here, come and hit me, hahaha..."

Damn it.

Fang Yi'ai was furious: "You said it yourself!"

"rest assured."

Cheng Huailiang snorted coldly: "I said it!"

Fang Yi'ai strode forward and pulled out the imperial sack: "Grab him!"

The group of friends immediately stepped forward.

"asshole."

The sons of military officers wanted to help.

Fang Yi'ai handed the imperial gift sack forward...

"All of you stand there obediently. Anyone who dares to take a step forward, I'll put a royal sack over their neck!"

"Look closely... an imperial sack, an imperial sack covered with imperial seals!"

"Anyone who dirties the imperial seal is showing disrespect to His Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus!"

These words were spoken.

The sons of military officers immediately dared not make any rash moves.

If they didn't say this, they could pretend they didn't know.

So many people are watching...

If the seal is soiled, then the crime is confirmed.

"You bastard!"

Cheng Huailiang gritted his teeth.

*Smack*

A brick hit him on the head, stunning him completely.

Then his friends rushed forward and immediately started beating him up.

Ping-ping-pong-pong.

Cheng Huailiang was brutally beaten as soon as he showed up.

The sons of military officers wanted to go forward to provide support, but were stopped by Fang Yi'ai.

"Don't move..."

Fang Yi'ai, holding the imperial sack, threatened, "Did you all hear that clearly just now?"

"Cheng Huailiang told me to hit him!"

"..."

The sons of military officers were speechless.

It's also your fault, Cheng Huailiang, for being so foul-mouthed. Why did you let someone hit you for no reason?

“Your competition doesn’t even have a referee, it’s completely unfair!” Li Chongyi jumped out again.

"Who said there are no referees?"

Standing on the high platform, Cui Shenji continued, "Aren't there three of us?"

"Do you know what this fish is called?" Li Chongyi asked casually, picking up a fish.

Choi Shin-ki took a look.

Why should I get to know it?

Choi Shin-ki said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, it's all just a pile of shit!"

"Do you know the seasoning recipe?" Li Chongyi asked again.

Why should I know?

Choi Shin-ki replied dismissively, "All I need to know is whether it tastes good or not!"

"Everyone heard that..."

Li Chongyi shouted, "Choi Shin-ki doesn't even know what ingredients are, yet he wants to be a referee."

"His competition is just a joke, a way to make fun of everyone!"

The cooks heard this.

The competition organized by three little kids was indeed a bit far-fetched.

And the fact that it hasn't started yet is making them even more anxious.

"Bullshit!"

Choi Shin-ki pointed to a pile of small hills in the distance: "Could it be that my copper coins are fake?"

These words calmed the anxious hearts of the cooks.

Whether you're legitimate or not, money talks!

"Stop arguing, you two."

Just then, the manager of Cuiyunju stepped forward.

He walked up to the platform and shouted, "For the sake of fairness in this competition..."

"Cuiyunju has specially invited three heavyweight referees!"

Um?

These words stunned not only the common people, but also Choi Sin-ki.

"Wang sighed."

Choi Shin-ki was furious and stepped forward, grabbing a brick: "Say it again, who is the referee?"

The manager of Cuiyunju smiled bitterly.

He originally planned to just hang out with Choi Shin-ki.

But the person behind Cuiyun Residence heard this...

This cooking competition can solidify Cuiyunju's position in Chang'an and also attract more cooks for Cuiyunju...

So they seized power and prepared to launch a major offensive.

The three men contributed both money and effort, but in the end, they only benefited Cuiyunju.

"Please don't be offended, Young Master Shenji."

The shopkeeper gave a bitter smile: "We will compensate you for this."

"Compensation my ass!"

Choi Shin-ki picked up a brick, ready to hit someone.

"From now on, all your food and drinks at Cuiyunju will be on the house!" the Cuiyunju manager quickly said.

Zi.

Choi Shin-ki slammed on the brakes: "Are you serious?"

Cuiyun Residence.

The most expensive meal can cost tens of strings of cash. If you come every day, you can make several thousand strings of cash a year!

This is a good deal.

"That's right!"

The manager of Cuiyunju smiled and said, "Thank you for your support of the Cook Competition. From now on, all your meals at Cuiyunju will be on the house."

"Alright, alright, you said it yourself."

Choi Shin-ki chuckled as he put away the brick, then added, "If you dare to go back on your word, I'll tear down your Cuiyun Residence!"

Cuiyunju smiled a few more times.

Only after confirming that Choi Shin-ki's anger had subsided did they continue hosting the event.

"I'm sure everyone is getting impatient."

"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Now, please welcome our first referee..."

"Wang Yin, Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices!"

Wow.

The people were in uproar.

The Court of Imperial Sacrifices was in charge of matters related to sacrifices, court assemblies, banquets, and local cuisine.

The position of Junior Minister is ranked as a fourth-rank official, a truly high-ranking official!

Greetings, everyone!

Wang Yin was a middle-aged official with a somewhat bureaucratic air.

After stepping forward, he gave the people a perfunctory bow and then sat down in his designated referee's seat.

"Next up, please welcome..."

"Li Xiangjun, Chief Female Officer of the Imperial Food Bureau!"

The people were shocked once again.

The Imperial Food Bureau was primarily responsible for the royal family's food services.

As the chief female officer, she is undoubtedly the top leader!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Imperial Food Bureau was under the jurisdiction of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

However, the Imperial Food Bureau was in contact with the entire royal culinary scene.

If she were to casually stroll around the inner palace, she could easily get rid of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

"Hello everyone, it's an honor to be one of the referees for this competition."

Li Xiangjun was much more enthusiastic. She was a woman in her thirties, and her whole being exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Many single men were mesmerized by it...

"Finally, please welcome..."

The manager of Cuiyunju Restaurant had a meal.

Everyone's appetite was whetted.

With the first two being so amazing, who will be the final referee?

"King James!"

boom.

The whole place erupted.

The chefs, in particular, looked on with admiration…

King James is not a real prince.

His real name is Zhan Shu.

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jian, having tasted all the delicacies of the land and sea, found them tasteless and killed a large number of cooks, which frightened the imperial chefs into changing professions.

After that, they could only post yellow notices to recruit cooks.

Zhan Shu angrily accepted the challenge and told Yang Jian that the best dish was 'hunger'.

Yang Jian actually went to find 'hunger' and later figured out the way to govern the country.

From then on, Emperor Wen of Sui showed compassion for the people and worked diligently to govern the country, leading the Sui Dynasty to prosperity. In gratitude, he bestowed upon Zhan Shu the title of King Zhan!

Furthermore... King Zhan cooked wild pheasants and ground them into chicken powder, thus pioneering the use of chicken powder as a seasoning.

Greetings, everyone.

An old man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked over, supported by a little girl.

Zhan Shu cupped his hands in greeting to the people: "I am old and have no desire to show my face in public."

"But as soon as I heard about the Cook Competition, I came out."

"For no other reason than..."

"We hope that while cooking delicious food, everyone can discover more ingredients... so that people have more food to eat!"

The rat's voice wasn't loud.

Yet every word reached the ears of the people with crystal clarity.

People have even greater respect for Zhan Shu.

"Your Majesty's righteousness compels us to dedicate ourselves to developing our culinary skills," said Manager Cuiyun, bowing respectfully.

"Okay, okay..."

After saying this with a smile, James was about to walk towards the referee's position.

But Choi Shin-ki suddenly jumped out and sat down in the main seat with a bang.

"Old man, this spot is mine!"

Choi Shin-ki stared wide-eyed: "I proposed the Cook Competition, I organized it!"

"I am the number one referee!"

Damn it.

All the cooks gritted their teeth.

They all wished they could throw Choi Shin-ki into a cesspool and soak him 108 times.

How dare they insult our idol.

Even if you're Cui Tietou, you still have to stand up for it.

"Choi Shin-ki, King James is an elder. Don't you know how to respect your elders?"

"Cui Tietou, get down! Give way to King Zhan!"

"Cui Dashan, you're not qualified to be a referee, get off the field now!"

The people were clamoring.

They were intimidated by Choi Shin-ki's background.

But they will also speak up for those who are highly respected!

"Afraid of you? Even the King of Heaven himself is here today, and I'm the chief referee!"

Choi Shin-ki raised his head, ignoring the words of the crowd.

“Cui, if you disrespect your elders, we will go to Doctor Wei to seek justice.”

Shrimp?

Choi Shin-ki's arrogant expression vanished instantly.

Can't we have some sense of martial ethics?
