Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 123 Food Encyclopedia
"Most of those cooks can't read, so your job is to explain the cooking steps in the book to them, and cooperate with them to make delicious dishes!"

The voice just fell.

Qingcheng and her sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be this!

It's easy.

Qingcheng chuckled and replied:
"Since it is the Master of the National Teacher's order, the little girl dare not refuse, and must complete the task assigned by the Master."

Chen Fan hummed and nodded slightly.

Then he looked at the other beautiful girls and asked:
"what about you?"

The other girls quickly replied that they would complete their duties as good assistants with all their heart and never let down the Imperial Master's instructions.

Hearing this, Chen Fan said with a satisfied smile:

"But don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."

"If this competition can be successfully completed, I will give you a credit."

"Just right, I have a job with a good salary that I can offer you."

Seeing that everyone didn't understand what it meant, Chen Fan explained:
"This is a well-established job with high salary, good benefits, and security. When you retire at the age of 60 or [-], you will still have a high pension."

A job like this should be unique in Ming Dynasty!
Chen Fan believed that they would like it.

really.

As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, he saw the happy faces of these girls.

Especially Qingcheng, whose joyful eyebrows almost raised to the sky.

She couldn't help being excited, although she didn't know what jobs the National Teacher offered them.

But according to Master Guoshi, this job can make them live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Even if they are five or sixty years old, they are too old to work, and they still have money.

Good things like this are hard to find even with a lantern.

At least she had never heard of Qingcheng before, what kind of livelihood does Daming have to get such good treatment.

This is especially true for a woman.

Although Qingcheng felt a little regretful, the national teacher didn't ask them to come here to talk about taking concubines.

But it is a surprise that the national teacher is willing to provide them with a life without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng led the sisters to thank Chen Fan.

Chen Fan waved his hand to get them up, and then beat them.

"You don't have to be too happy about this job, I just told you in advance."

"Whether you can get this well-organized job depends on your performance in the competition."

"If you can't complete the tasks of the competition assistants, then there will be no follow-up rewards."

Qingcheng's face changed slightly when he heard the words.

He quickly replied:
"Master National Teacher, don't worry, the sisters will definitely complete the task of this competition."

"Ah That's good."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he took out a few more "Food Encyclopedias" and handed them to Qingcheng.

"Take it back and take a good look at it, so you can be prepared. Don't ask the contestants to ask you. You will know nothing when you ask."

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan took out another "Complete and Simple Dictionary" and stuffed it into Qingcheng's hand.

"The text in this "Food Encyclopedia" is all in simplified characters. If you don't understand anything, you can refer to this dictionary."

Qingcheng touched the exquisite dictionary and nodded silently.

In fact, Chen Fan wasn't too worried about the complicated and simplified characters.

After all, most of the commonly used Chinese characters in ancient times are in simplified characters, except for some traditional characters that need dictionary translation.

Chen Fan believed that with the ingenuity of these talented women, it would not take long for them to understand the words in "Food Encyclopedia".

"Okay, go down and get ready!"

Chen Fan waved his hand, telling Qingcheng and the others to leave.

This morning.

The sun had just risen, and the people in the capital began their busy day.

Some pick firewood to sell goods, some set up stalls to do business, and some get up early to work.

In short, in order to make a living, the common people in Daming capital started to work hard early.

Some shopkeepers carrying loads were passing by the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Suddenly, a few yamen servants came out of the yamen, and one of them, who looked like the leader, held a notice in his hand, went to the notice board next to the yamen gate, and pasted the notice on it with paste.

Passers-by gathered curiously, wanting to see what announcement the government had made.

The people in the capital attach great importance to the government's announcement, after all, it is related to everyone's vital interests.

The last announcement said that His Majesty decided to exempt the people of the whole country from taxes for five years, which made the people in the capital happy for a long time.

Not sure what the announcement is about?
Pedestrians passing by are curious.

then.

Soon, a crowded crowd surrounded the bulletin board.

Everyone was talking about it, wondering what new policy the government has come up with?

"Is there anyone who can read, tell everyone quickly, what is this announcement saying?"

A rough voice sounded from the crowd.

You know, the literacy rate in ancient times was very low.

Even in a political center like the capital, there are still many ordinary people who cannot read a single word.

but.

At this moment, a young man dressed as a scholar looked at the contents of the bulletin and read it aloud.

"The Imperial Master's Office will join hands with the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen to hold the first Ming Dynasty God of Cookery Competition. We sincerely invite famous chefs from all over the capital to participate in the competition. For specific registration conditions, please consult the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen."

Seeing this, the young man shook his head.

He secretly slandered in his heart.

The dignified Master of the State actually holds a cooking competition. Isn't this a sign of lowering one's status?

The onlookers started talking loudly.

"I thought there was something important going on in the government? It turns out that Master Guoshi wants to call all the cooks in the city to participate in the competition!"

"It may be that the master of the National Teacher thinks that the cooks in the house do not cook well, so he intends to find the best cook through the competition."

"Well, what this man said makes a lot of sense."

The gathered crowd was chattering and discussing one by one.

Everyone is discussing which cook will win the competition.

Some people say that it is Chef Hu from Xianju. After all, the food from Xianju is the best in Beijing.

Although almost no one here has eaten the food from Xianju.

But the reputation of Xianju has been known for a long time.

When the discussion in Daming was intense, the young man who looked like a scholar continued to read the content behind the announcement.

"The top three winners in this competition, in addition to being able to work as errands in the National Teacher's Mansion, will also reward the top three chefs who win."

"No.1 confers the title of honorary Jinshi, No.2 confers the title of honorary scholar, No.3 confers the title of scholar..."

When the young man read this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

The crowd of onlookers looked at the young man with disbelief.

That look seems to be saying, are you reading that right?

Is it really rewarding the chef with Jinshi fame?
Not to mention everyone, even the young people themselves were deeply shocked.

I think he has studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and he has only achieved the reputation of a scholar until now.

Even so, he looked down on ordinary people in his heart.

This is the pride of being a reader.
