Chapter 472 Cheating, she cheated!
“What this young man said makes sense.”
James smiled and said, "He initiated the Cook Competition, so he is fully qualified to be one of the judges."
"The old man also hopes that there will be more competitions like this in the future to develop culinary skills."
As James spoke, the room fell silent.
Choi Shin-ki took a look.
Then they'll have to take advantage of it.
"Did you all hear that?"
Choi Shin-ki raised his head and shouted, "I have made great contributions to the culinary world!"
"Old man, you're not bad."
"I find you pleasing to the eye, so sit next to me."
"..."
The cooks gritted their teeth in anger.
How dare Cui Tietou speak to LeBron James like that!
"Doctor Wei has arrived."
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
In fact, Wei Shuyu had always been in Wenyun Pavilion.
He thought Choi Shin-ki and his two accomplices were just playing around, so he didn't think about coming out.
But when they heard that the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and the Imperial Kitchen had intervened, they couldn't hold back any longer.
The Imperial Food Bureau was in charge of royal food, essentially controlling the lifeline of the royal family.
Who can command them?
It's obvious that the person behind Cuiyun Residence could not possibly be one of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families.
"Greetings, Physician Wei!"
Everyone present bowed to Wei Shuyu.
Even the previously arrogant Wang Yin abandoned his arrogance the moment he saw Wei Shuyu.
Despite his higher official rank than Wei Shuyu, his position was merely nominal.
Compared to Wei Shuyu, who held real power, he was far inferior.
"No need for such formalities, everyone."
Wei Shuyu smiled and waved his hand.
Then he walked straight up to Choi Shin-ki.
"Big pot, you're here."
Choi Shin-ki stood up excitedly: "You can be the referee."
Bang.
Wei Shuyu kicked him away.
Then he clasped his hands in a fist salute to LeBron James and said, "This kid is used to being arrogant, I hope LeBron will forgive him."
Wei Shuyu was very respectful to King Zhan.
Because he is one of the four greatest chefs in history!
"I've long heard of Physician Wei's great reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm it lives up to its name," Zhan Shu returned the greeting.
"It's just an empty reputation," Wei Shuyu said, waving his hand.
Whether its reputation is well-deserved or not can be seen at a glance.
Zhan Wangchao glanced at the crowd and said, "From the eyes of the people, I can see their respect for you."
Wei Shuyu then said modestly, "Your Majesty, please take a seat. You will serve as the first referee."
"No..."
James pointed at Choi Shin-ki and said, "This young man is the one who initiated this. It would be a bit unfair of me to do this."
"He doesn't understand anything..."
Wei Shuyu sighed, "It really won't work."
"Big Pot, you be the referee."
Choi Shin-ki modestly said, "No one will have any objections if you are the referee."
"I also think it's acceptable..." King James nodded.
"I agree."
I agree.
Wang Yin and Li Xiangjun both spoke up.
Compared to the unreliable Choi Sin-ki, Wei Shu-yu was much more dependable.
When people ask you who you referee with, what do you say?
With Choi Shin-ki?
People will definitely look at you with disdain.
But to say that he was with Wei Shuyu and Zhan Wang.
That would elevate the referee's prestige!
"Qiqi is here!"
As we were chatting, a friend's voice suddenly rang out.
Looking around, Wu Qiqi was pulling Li Yuan along at a jog.
Li Yuan walked along listlessly, as if he had no bones.
Behind the two were several fat men with big heads and ears.
"Victory is certain on July 7th! July 7th will be number one!"
The other kids immediately started cheering them on.
"Don't worry, everyone."
Wu Qiqi immediately stepped forward and replied, "If I get first place, I'll cook for everyone for three days!"
Huh?
The cheers abruptly stopped!
Then you shouldn't get first place.
"What? You don't like it?"
"No, Qiqi, the competition is about to start, you should go in first."
"Okay, okay..."
Wu Qiqi turned around and glanced at Li Yuan: "Steward Yuan, I'm going to the competition. Remember to cheer me on."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes.
On the high platform.
Seeing that the main person in question had arrived, the manager of Cuiyunju immediately began to announce...
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the large number of participants, the rules of the competition have been temporarily changed."
As news of LeBron James's appearance spread, more and more cooks came to attend.
Even if it's not for money, getting a few pointers from LeBron James is a bonus.
"As everyone knows, in addition to cooking delicious food, a chef must also have excellent knife skills."
"Therefore, the first round of the competition will be about knife skills."
"Everyone can collect a radish at the entrance of Cuiyun Residence, limited to one incense stick's time!"
"All participants must enter with the radish they have carved."
"Of course, if your radish carving is not up to standard, you will be disqualified from the competition."
The cooks went to the entrance of Cuiyun Residence to collect radishes.
Some people even took the radishes and ate them directly.
Even if they don't participate in the competition, getting a free radish is still pretty good.
Cuiyunju could only roll its eyes in response.
"Big Brother, does Qiqi know how to use a knife?"
Choi Shin-ki asked weakly.
It would be hilarious if we were tricked in the first round.
"Probably...?"
Wei Shuyu was not sure either.
Turning my head to look...
Wu Qiqi took the radish, cut it in half with one stroke, and handed it to the fat man behind her.
The fat man behind Wu Qiqi took the knife and began carving.
Before long, the basic shapes of two rabbits were carved.
"Cheating! She cheated!"
Upon seeing Wu Qiqi hand the radish to the person next to her, Li Chongyi shouted loudly.
What kind of cheating?
Choi Shin-ki immediately retorted, "Do you know that the Cook Competition allows you to bring an assistant?"
Holy crap!
Is it even possible to do it like this?
Wang Yin and Li Xiangjun were dumbfounded when they saw the fat man who helped them cheat.
Isn't this the Knife King of the Imperial Kitchen?
Let him compete in knife skills, what's the point of competing with anyone else...?
And that fat guy next door...
Isn't Shanwang the best cook?
"..."
They're all imperial chefs from the palace, how can anyone else compare?
"You bastard."
Li Chongyi was furious: "Having someone else take your place is cheating, that's not fair."
"Li Chongyi, if you dare to question me again, believe me, I'll throw you out!" Cui Shenji shouted.
"you……"
Li Chongyi hesitated for a moment, but upon seeing Wei Shuyu present, he immediately backed down.
He turned to look at Zhan Shu: "King Zhan, isn't it against the rules that Wu Qiqi had someone else chop vegetables for her?"
"No!"
LeBron James replied directly: "It's allowed to bring assistants to the game."
For some dishes that require complex preparation and where time is limited, it is permissible to bring an assistant.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty didn't have gas stoves or induction cookers.
They had to start the fire themselves.
You'll need to find someone to help you complete that.
"..."
Li Chongyi was dumbfounded.
Is there really such a saying?
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.
Most people were eliminated, and only a dozen or so people participated in the competition.
"Congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary round."
"Next up is the real cooking competition."
"From this moment forward, Cuiyunju's ingredients will be available for you to choose from."
"The main purpose of this competition is to discover your culinary talents!"
Therefore, no questions will be set.
"One hour is allotted!"
"Everyone can confidently unleash their best skills!"
As soon as the manager of Cuiyunju finished speaking, the contestants flocked into Cuiyunju.
As the largest restaurant in Chang'an, it naturally has all kinds of ingredients.
Before long, the cooks began to get busy.
After looking around, Wu Qiqi finally decided to make fried rice!
Because Wei Shuyu once said...
Fried rice is something that ordinary people can afford, and the competition aims to showcase the simplest and most authentic food to everyone.
Actually, it's...
This isn't bad at all, Wu Qiqi made it!
Because after Wei Shuyu said that, she stopped doing things recklessly and stopped adding unnecessary ingredients!
"Big Fatty, Second Fatty."
"Start a fire, and also heat up a pot and crack an egg for me."
Wu Qiqi directed the two of them.
When it was time to make fried rice with eggs, I even tossed the pan twice, looking quite professional.

(I feel like I've run out of things to write about)
(It's impossible to make money by adding a cultivation element later on, like other books do.)
(See...)
(I'll continue as long as I get inspiration; if not, it'll basically be finished next month.)
