Chapter 358 Jealousy
"Master."
The little third son looked confused, "It's really the second place."
Chef Fan took the booklet blankly and saw that, sure enough, among the ranking of the Hopei Jinchu who was selected this year, his position was quite high, with only Gu Sanniang overwhelming him.
He was immediately disbelief and quickly flipped down.
Several gourmets and Jin Tongtou, who were responsible for writing food exploration booklets, gave him a very positive review. Even the Eight Sages had a compliment, saying that his roast goose tasted unique and was unique in the capital, and was not inferior in the palace.
“…”
He doesn't have a piece of gold foil, so he can get second place. So, shouldn't he look for gold foil in "Exploring the Food"?
Chef Fan had a knot in his mind.
His eyes fell on Gu Xiang's name and he grinded his teeth secretly.
According to the rules of "Gourmets' Food", the chefs who are qualified to be selected as Golden Chef the following year will be selected, as well as restaurants and dishes. At the beginning of the following year, the famous Golden Chef and Gourmets are usually about three to five people. They come to taste as diners in turn and give gold foil. The last one with the highest gold foil is the Golden Chef that year.
Of course, there are also many times when gourmets think that the chef is not qualified and don’t give a piece of gold foil, which is very common at this time.
The situation this year is a bit different from previous years. The Eight Wise Kings came to be the golden tongue in person. Of course, no one would feel dissatisfied with his old man.
The Eight Wise Kings have had a reputation of being "delicious" and "eating" since childhood. No chefs in the capital don't know that. His tongue is also sharp, and he is noble and knowledgeable. With him as a judge, the chefs in the capital suddenly became energetic.
Fan Lou strongly supported several famous chefs under his sect to participate in the competition.
Whether it is Fan Chuzi or other candidates, they have been preparing for more than a year. "Ji Gu" has only emerged recently. At the beginning, no one took her to heart. Of course, Chef Fan doesn't. In this huge capital, there are very few famous chefs and various restaurants that have appeared every year. What is the value of caring for the newly opened small restaurants for a few days?
As a result, such a small restaurant has been defeated by countless famous chefs in the capital and it has been a problem. Before that, at the Zhang family, their Fanlou was completely embarrassing, but the Zhang family didn't mind and did not deliberately make it public, but the rumors in the capital could not be suppressed.
Although those rumors were not friendly to the female chef, they were rumors outside, and they all knew that Gu Ji's female chef did make good food, and he saved Mr. Zhang from a dangerous state where his life was hanging on the line.
As soon as the rumors about Zhang Pingfu and the female chef came out, Chef Fan didn't know what those people outside thought, but he saw with his own eyes that not only the ordinary diners of "Gu Ji", but also in Fanlou, he also heard several noble men muttering behind their backs, saying that these messy rumors should not be heard from Gu Chu's ears. If she was scared and cut off her food, she would be in no way possible.
Although the Bobo meat at noon is expensive and good, the barbecue at night is the most famous, but you can’t eat Bobo meat and barbecue every day. Only this kind of food has become a habit now. Many people get up every morning to buy "Gu Ji" food to work, which has become an indispensable step. If you can’t buy it one day, you will definitely be depressed for a long time.
"It can actually support such caring and loyal diners, alright!"
When Chef Fan thought of this, he felt a little jealous.
In fact, Gu Xiang didn't take this rumor seriously at all, and even took it as a fun thing. He was a little excited that he suddenly became a celebrity.
After all, in her time, it is certainly not a bad thing that a girl was said to have two men who are outstanding and famous for their pursuit.
Maybe some bad words will be spread, but as long as the girl is stable, she doesn't really have to step on two boats or something, and the pursuer is not particularly annoying, then this is a good thing. In private, the girl should be excited.
I'm afraid it's not just for future generations, but for the present.
This is mostly the nature of human beings.
However, no one of the diners of "Gu Ji" thought so. Almost everyone didn't even react at the first time. The first thing they did was to pretend that there was no such rumors.
No one muttered in front of Gu Xiang.
It was also a coincidence. On the first day after the incident, on the day when the rumors were the most powerful, Gu Xiang became addicted to making dog food for Xiao Yanzi and Da Cute. After spending most of the night, he got up late the next day.
The food on the day was made by the little chefs at home.
Early that morning, I walked around and lined up several diners. I heard a few little chefs say politely that the meat was 20% off today. It was all the works of the little chefs practicing. It was like a bolt from the blue when they were hit by the blue.
Everyone thought that it would be fine this day. What if the third lady felt bad after hearing the rumors, what if she felt that she shouldn't show up in public and that if she refused to make food again in the future?
When Zhang Qiaoan thought of this, he was even a little scared.
Eating every day is like drinking medicine, and he never wants to have it anymore.
She is different from other street vendors. She doesn't want to cook or do this business again, so it must be okay.
Zhang Qiaoan remembered clearly that day at the city gate, he first saw the young lady of the Gu family leading her horse and carrying a beauty. She looked relaxed and comfortable, and her eyebrows were confident.
To this day, his horses still have plans to escape from their homes and join the Gu family.
Zhang Qiaoan: “…”
There is also the layout and decorations in Gu’s house, which are inconspicuous at first glance, but they are stunning everywhere.
The Zhang family was rich for several generations, not a nouveau riche, and the decoration of the home was elegant and comfortable. However, after living in the family for so many years, all the decorations in the room were arranged according to his preferences. However, he was still not as good as he was outside Gu Ji's door. Sitting on the ordinary bench and small table was more comfortable and pleasant.
Zhang Qiaoan naturally inquired about it, and the servants of the Gu family did not shy away. They just said that all the arrangements were made by Xueying, the servant girl next to the little lady.
At that time, Zhang Qiaoan understood that the little lady of the Gu family was definitely not the only one who was an illegitimate daughter of the Li family.
Not only Mr. Zhang, but also all the diners thought about it and became alert at the same time. It was not until the capital storm had not affected Gu Xiang in the past few days.
