In order to expand its influence, the Xun family in Yingchuan married the Yin family in Yingchuan. As a result, just after they got married, Yin Yu, the eldest son of Yin, who was a poor family, was poisoned. At this time, Xun You was also pregnant for three months.

The investigation result is that the most suspicious contact with the poisoned person was a maid from Xun, which made the situation confusing and even made people wonder whether Xun took action and planned to annex Yin.

Also, because of the resignation and disappearance of the maid, it was extremely difficult to find her. Xun Fu didn't even have to consider it. It was clear that the maid was probably no longer in this world. But in this way, Xun's family was suspected of killing people to silence her. In addition, the Yin family's affairs were completely unable to be cleaned.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..." Xun Fu also felt a headache. Fortunately, the current investigation is internal investigation, and no one behind it is fueling the fire.

Although the Xun family in Yingchuan has great influence, it has occupied a lot of interests in Yingchuan and many people hope to replace them. While enjoying the glory of the family, diligent maintenance of the family is also something that the family children must understand.

"Maybe this is also the warning of the real murderer!" Xun Yu thought more, "Let us not pursue it anymore, otherwise the more we pursue it, the more news it will be unfavorable to our Xun family!"

"But the other party can actually be unaware of it. If we put a person in Xun's family, we can put more people in it! I don't want our family to become a sieve, everything is exposed to others' eyes, and everything is secretly controlled!" Xun Fu realized the seriousness of the matter.

"This can only be done slowly, but you must be careful when employed in the future." Xun Yu said slowly. She came back not just for the marriage. After all, as a woman from Xun, defending the interests of the family is an instinctive behavior.

The mother and daughter were discussing the matter here, but Wang Yong was in the kitchen and discussing with Kuang Chu.

"I didn't expect that Chef Kuang's strength had been improved to this level during this period..." After eating the dishes cooked by Kuang Chu, Wang Yong could feel that the other party's control over umami taste had been significantly improved.

Just for this move, the top three chefs must have a place.

"With that being said, I have to incorporate strong ideas into the dishes. Until now, Mr. Kuang has no idea..." Kuang Chu was not very happy, because he was stuck here for a while. He was obviously in contact with the field of a super chef, but he couldn't enter, which was too painful for a chef.

"Maybe, you need to have a relationship!" Wang Yong thought carefully, "Find someone who is worthy of yours and will do your best!"

"Fall in love... I will consider your proposal carefully." Kuang Chu couldn't help but think about it. In fact, it was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't find a suitable one. He was a senior chef at least and didn't want to marry a woman casually.

Two days later, Wang Yong brought kitchen utensils to Yingyin Chef Guild. Today, due to the intermediate chef exam, other businesses are temporarily not accepted. At the same time, a special area is vacant for the chefs who come to take the exam.

Wang Yong got off the carriage, and Kuang Chu personally brought him here. He pointed to the chef waiting there and said to Wang Yong: "Don't underestimate this exam. Many of them have taken this exam several times. Intermediate chefs can actually become officials, so their cooking skills are much higher than junior chefs. At the same time, they must be above five ranks to be qualified to become officials. Therefore, many people who are less than five ranks continue to take the exam and constantly hone their cooking skills every year."

Not only intermediate chefs, but also junior chefs who really want to advance, they also seize the opportunity to continue learning. Many of them will help intermediate chefs with the goal of being able to practice their cooking skills. Among this group of people, Wang Yong even saw the two chefs who helped him in the army before.

Fortunately, the competition is not an elimination system, so no one will be eliminated because of this. The Chef Guild still hopes that more fresh blood will flow in. But there are only so many official positions, so naturally excellent people can go up. If too many excellent people take the exam, the examiner will also consider improving the difficulty of the exam. After all, the more excellent talents appear, the quality of the Chef Guild can be improved.

"Those below the fifth grade are impacting the fifth grade, while those who are truly excellent are impacting the top three grades. At the same time, junior chefs are also working hard to upgrade to intermediate chefs, and the competition is increasing every year..." Wang Yong was also very clear about the competitiveness of the chef industry. The recipes he knew will be exhausted one day, and cooking skills are the foundation for his life.

"Just know, come on!" Kuang Chu looked at Wang Yong's expression, nodded, and left directly. He was not worried about this young man at all. Even if he was only qualified as a junior chef, he already had the strength of a senior chef.

Being better than being a young man? He doesn't like this very much. Perhaps because of the stimulation, Kuang Chu himself is also preparing to challenge the senior chef again. As long as he enters the top three, he will even challenge the super chef!

Wang Yong came to the venue and saw him, the two chefs came over to say hello. Although everyone was a competitor, there was no interest dispute. Moreover, during this period, he had learned a lot of cooking skills from him and admired his personality.

"Sir Chef, I didn't expect that we would take the exam together." One of the female chefs said excitedly.

"Yes, it's such a fate!" Wang Yong nodded and replied.

Not only them, but other candidates also formed small groups along with the region, social circle, etc., while the exam has not yet been taken, they talked about the results of this period, or some experiences and other things.

"The pig castration technology promoted by the Chef Guild has been confirmed recently, and pork may become a common meat in the future." Some chefs naturally talked about the pig castration.

"Indeed, the pork cuisine may improve in the future. I have also studied it during this period. Unfortunately, there are not many castrated pigs that can be bought. Most of them are only two or three months old, so it is a waste to slaughter them directly!" Another intermediate chef sighed.

"Have you studied the new ingredients for tomatoes and that chili?" Another question was asked.

"The tomatoes are sour and sweet, so you can cook soup and stir-fry. Chili is used for seasoning and is more exciting than dogwood..." Naturally, someone shared his attempt.

"I heard that Wanshiwu has found some crops recently and has started to promote them in Xu County..." Someone mentioned the aspects of high-yield crops, but the problem is, no one knows what these crops taste.

"It is said that high yields are not known how they taste. But as long as they are high yields, it is good, at least the people don't have to go hungry." Those who can say this must be poor families. After all, aristocratic families, especially those who manage grain, do not really like this high-yield crop.

You should know that earlier, grain was used as the mainstream currency, which was stronger than Wuzhu coins. It was built on the situation of food scarcity, but high-yield crops would destroy this system.

It can be said that Cao Cao promoted high-yield crops and directly offended all the grain merchant families in the world. She had offended the aristocratic families, but because of the promotion of high-yield crops, she offended them again. It would probably be much more difficult to recruit talents in the future.

Wang Yong had been listening to all directions, and naturally heard their comments, and he couldn't help but feel confused. He originally thought that promoting high-yield crops would help Cao Cao provide stable military rations and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

After all, only by eating enough can you consider eating good food. Only by having enough money can you consider improving your life. The economy will increase, and taxes will naturally increase, but the interests of the old class were infringed upon.

"If it really doesn't work, I just follow the medical school model and suggest that Cao Cao establish the concepts of rural education, county education, county education and state education, and let it cultivate talents by himself!" Wang Yong thought carefully.

"Silent, quiet!" At this moment, the staff at the venue shouted, and everyone suddenly became quiet.

Several middle-aged people slowly walked out, one of whom was a gray-haired old man, obviously it should be the elder of the guild. With one elder and four real power classes, it is composed of this assessment and judges. The intermediate chef assessments in other counties are probably similar to this configuration, right?

"The assessment is about to begin. Please choose a stove and give additional recommendation letters for office work. Our staff will further verify it." One of the middle-aged people looked at the candidates and announced directly.

Upon hearing this, the candidates went to the stove. The scene was a little messy, but at least there was no competition. Then they took out recommendation letters and waited for inspection.

The staff checked one by one, and there was no situation where Wang Yong expected to submit a false recommendation letter and sneak in. Think about it, this is a very important assessment, how can we make such a mess? If you accidentally, your junior chef qualification will be cancelled and you will not be able to participate in the assessment for your whole life, that would be tragic.

"The inspection is completed and confirmation is correct!" When the staff announced this, many people, including Wang Yong, breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that there was no problem with their recommendation letter, but they were still announced and felt at ease.

"Junior chefs, the assessment is nothing more than junior knife skills, heat and seasoning!" The old man stood up after hearing this, "Intermediate chefs not only need to know how to cook, but also know how to cook good dishes! You should also pay attention to the selection of ingredients, cooking, and placing dishes! Therefore, the first question of the exam is to select materials!"

He pointed to a pile of radishes not far away and signaled to the candidates: "There are five piles of radishes here. The first level is to let you choose one of them to stew the soup. According to the radishes you choose, you will get different scores, both high and low, which will all be related to your next round of assessment! Then, start choosing!"

So that's different from the assessment of junior chefs, the direct rationing is different. This time it starts with the selection of materials.

The five piles of radish seem to be five varieties, so in the words of the elder before, the point of using the soup to stew the soup became the key. The one to choose is the most suitable radish for stewing the soup. Wang Yong looked around and then came to the pile of radish and picked up a green-skinned radish. Some people also chose this radish, but there seemed to be few people.

Most people choose an oval white radish variety. If Wang Yong remembers correctly, this radish has a sweet taste and is indeed suitable for soup, but the vague spicy taste is inevitable for white-skinned radish.

"Okay, start rating now!" Seeing that everyone has finished choosing, the referee began to announce the results, "The No. 1 radish is an old radish, which tastes spicy, and the person who chooses will get zero points! The No. 2 radish has been left for several days and is no longer sour. The person who chooses will get one point! The No. 3 radish is of good quality, sweet taste, and three points! The No. 4 is just a general radish, and two points are selected! The last one is a green radish, which tastes sweet, and not only can you eat raw, but also the best choice for soup. You can get five points!"
