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

Chapter 124
But now, someone actually told him that a lowly cook can get a Jinshi.

It's unbelievable.

The young scholar feels that his outlook on life is about to collapse.

You know, the social status of a cook is in the same class as actors, prostitutes, and beggars, and they are all low-level.

Daming's social occupations are graded, divided into upper nine and lower nine.

There are monks, Taoist priests, painters, doctors, Fengshui masters, fortune tellers, private school masters, and drugstores in the upper nine streams.

The reason why these people entered the upper class is not because of their noble status.

It's just that they have frequent contact with the upper class, and some of them are just borrowing light to shine.

The low class in Ming society were actors, maidservants, prostitutes, beggars, thugs, barbers, pawnshops, stove cooks, bathhouses, and carpenters.

Both put the cook and the whore side by side.

Can be imagined.

How low is the social status of a cook.

The young scholar couldn't accept this reality for a while, and he stood there dumbfounded.

No matter how loud the surrounding noise was, he seemed to be deaf in both ears, unable to hear a single sound.

He is completely immersed in his inner world, unable to extricate himself.

He felt that the world was crazy, and he didn't even know him anymore.

A lowly cook is very likely to get a Jinshi award now, how can he bear it.

Thinking about him studying hard until late at night every day, it can be said that his head is hanging on his head.

Even so, he took the provincial examination twice, but still failed to obtain the title of Juren.

just now.

A cook can earn the title of Jinshi by cooking stir-fries.

So what is his hard work for so many years?
Although the young scholar was sluggish at the scene, looking devastated.

But the crowd around them exploded.

Everyone discussed extremely intensely.

Mainly, this is the first time everyone has seen it.

It is a legend of the ages that a cook is a Jinshi.

Judging by the character of Ming people who like to join in the fun, anecdotes like this are enough for them to show off for a lifetime.

Before the announcement at the Yamen, everyone was discussing the matter and it soon attracted a large number of passers-by to stop.

When these pedestrians found out what happened, they were all shocked.

"Hiss! Isn't this a step up to the sky!"

Thinking of this, some clever people rushed to the yamen to ask the yamen servants about the conditions for registering for the competition.

When these clever people took action, the crowd of onlookers reacted.

Everyone rushed to the Yamen.

Want to know what are the conditions for registration?Are they suitable?

after all.

The temptation of Jinshi fame is great.

Even if many people have never seen a stove.

But it's okay.

They can learn now!
What if Master Guoshi likes the dishes they cook!

But let everyone regret that.

The conditions for registration are very strict, not to mention others.

Just one year of chef experience, that's all.

It has turned away many opportunistic people.

But although the crowd gathered in the yamen lobby felt a little regretful, they were not very sad.

They still know how much they have.

A young man in Tsing Yi in the crowd shouted excitedly after hearing the yamen servant's explanation.

"My second uncle fully complies with the registration requirements! He has been working as a cook in a restaurant for more than ten years. I have to go back and tell my second uncle the news. Maybe my Liu family can produce a Jinshi!"

Thinking of this, the young man in Tsing Yi ran home.

Some quick-witted people came to their senses.

Although they don't know how to cook, they have a cook they know!
You have to tell them the news quickly and let them come and sign up.

If he wins the title of Jinshi, he will also remember them as a favor, won't he?
thought here.

Many people rushed out of the Yamen to report back.

With everyone's departure.

The news that the National Teacher's Mansion will hold the God of Cookery Tournament spreads wildly throughout the city.

When the common people in the capital learned that No. 1 in the chef competition would be rewarded with the title of Jinshi.

Everyone was too shocked to speak.

Jinshi!
What an honor.

Isn't this equivalent to the title of the gold list?

Less than an hour.

The news of the God of Cookery Contest spread throughout the capital.

It has aroused heated discussions among countless people.

Usually, everyone goes out early and returns late to work, and this cycle happens every day.

Day after day, year after year.

The common people at the bottom do not have any entertainment activities.

Probably the only recreational activity is after dinner, chatting with neighbors.

When it was completely dark, I would go home and sleep, so as to get enough energy for the next day's work.

Can be imagined.

No entertainment.

How lacking is the spiritual world of the common people of Ming Dynasty.

just now.

The God of Cookery Competition was like a drop of water in hot oil, quickly making the people in the capital boil.

Such a hot news event full of breaking points quickly became the focus of discussion among the people in the capital.

National teacher's mansion, cook, Jinshi fame, counterattack, soaring into the sky, leaping into the dragon's gate, which keyword is not of interest to the common people?
therefore.

The discussion was in full swing with the common people watching the excitement.

They all speculated which lucky cook was able to obtain the title of Jinshi and honor their ancestors.

Zhuque Street, Xianju Lai Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Zhou just opened the door of the restaurant, ready to welcome the diners at noon.

At this time, shopkeeper Zhou saw several government servants walking towards him, and they seemed to be hostile.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Zhou's heart tightened. Could it be that he is blackmailing again?

Didn't you pay tribute just a few days ago?

When these yamen servants walked up to shopkeeper Zhou, he hadn't waited for shopkeeper Zhou to say hello.

The leading middle-aged government official said directly:
"Shopkeeper Zhou, call Hu Yitu, the chef of your restaurant, and ask him if you need anything."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou's face flashed with a hint of nervousness, and he asked cautiously:
"My lord, what can I do with Chef Hu?"

The middle-aged yamen servant showed an unhappy expression on his face, telling you to call someone, you just go, what are you talking about so much?
However, the middle-aged yamen servant is quite satisfied when he thinks about the filial piety that shopkeeper Zhou has given every month.

So he explained politely.

"Don't worry! I'm looking for Chef Hu if I have something good to do."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged yamen servant's face was full of envy.

After all, Hu Yitu's delicacies are well-known in the capital, and he is very likely to win No.1 in this competition.

At that time, he will be the master of Jinshi.

Shopkeeper Zhou breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the assurance from the middle-aged yamen servant.

Then I asked the waiter next to me to call Chef Hu.

Hu Yitu's superb cooking skills played a key role in Xianju's fame.

Many guests even came here just to eat a meal cooked by Chef Hu.

therefore.

When the middle-aged yamen servant said he wanted to find Chef Hu, shopkeeper Zhou became nervous.

I'm afraid that something has happened to the live sign in the store.

Now that he heard that the official was looking for Chef Hu for something good, shopkeeper Zhou felt relieved.

Shopkeeper Zhou was about to ask what a good thing it was.

The shop waiter brought Hu Yitu to the middle-aged yamen servant.
