Farming in time travel can be slapped in the face

Chapter 71 Solution

Everyone looked forward to the stage in anticipation. Even Qi, who was sitting not far away, wanted to get up several times and look forward to Shen Jiyao's dishes.

The mayor saw that several people's dishes had been fried, so he stood up and walked to the center of the ring and said: "The dishes of several people have been fried. Now we have to select ten people to try their dishes. As for how to choose, we Let's just throw the ball to decide, what do you think?"

Tossing the ball to choose someone is naturally fair, and everyone in the audience has no objections to the people on the stage.

Someone in the audience handed the mayor a ball made of tree vines. The mayor said: "Don't grab it. Whoever catches it will come up. I will lose it now." The mayor said and turned around. , preparing to throw it away blindly, this move naturally won the favor of countless people present, and they all praised it as fair and just.

I saw the mayor counting a few times, and then he threw the ball with all his strength!

The ball successfully fell into the hands of a strong man. The man walked to the ring with the ball in his arms and handed the ball to the mayor with a smile on his face. He then waited aside while the mayor continued to throw the ball.

In just a few moments, ten people were selected, and there was actually a woman among them. It was not easy to grab the ball among this group of people who were all vying for a bite of delicious food.

The mayor said: "Now everyone has been selected and can taste it. Let's turn around and avoid it first. We will bring the dishes and put them on the table and then we can eat.

The ten people turned around one after another according to the words, and the mayor called for someone A table was brought up and the four restaurants brought over the fried dishes.

Shen Jiyao confidently brought the fried dishes over. The sweet and sour pork ribs had a mouth-watering brown color and were garnished with garnishes. Some chopped green onions and hibiscus eggs are steamed first, then stir-fried with minced meat and tomatoes in chili oil, poured on the egg custard, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions. As for the boiled pork slices, this dish is even more amazing, Shen Jiyao The lettuce tips are cooked next. He first dry-frys the pepper seeds and dried chili peppers, then adds chili oil to adjust the color, then adds water to the lettuce tips and cooks them, and finally pours them into a small earthenware pot. , pour in the previously blanched meat slices, sprinkle with minced chili peppers and minced garlic, and pour some hot oil on top. The

other two dishes are even more mouth-watering: boiled potato slices with pickled cabbage . It is made very casually, without even adding any condiments, just adding some salt. The tender yellow pickled fish and potatoes are very beautiful when cooked together, while the cold braised pork is more powerful. Shen Jiyao uses paste of chili noodles. Because the stewed vegetables themselves have a salty taste, they only added soy sauce, peppercorns, minced garlic, chopped green onion, etc.

The three of them were very proud to cook the five dishes that were full of color, flavor and flavor. The food was brought over, but as soon as he saw the food cooked by Shen Jiyao, the surprise and amazement in his eyes could not be concealed at all, but in an instant, the surprise turned into jealousy for

someone who could cook so well . After all, there was really no place for them.

Shen Jiyao took the time to take a look at the dishes cooked by a few people, and he guessed right. They all cooked meat, and all three of them cooked fish. However, the methods are different. Chicken is also one of the dishes, and the others are meat and offal. Shen Jiyao only took one look and became more confident. Today's winner is none other than him

. After placing the dishes, the mayor began to distribute bamboo chopsticks to the ten people and asked them to eat the dishes

one by one. During this period, everyone's expressions were very exciting, some frowned, some nodded, and some even looked happy. Of course, some of them spit out the food directly from their mouths, but Shen Jiyao didn't feel anything about their reactions, and he wasn't worried. He was very confident in his cooking. After

a while, several people were ready . After trying all the dishes, they all stood aside.

The mayor came up and asked if they had tasted it well. After receiving a positive answer, he waved to Shen Jiyao and others and said, "Okay, you guys, come on. Come on, let the ten of you talk about which dish is the most delicious. Choose the most delicious dish first. Shen Jiyao and others

looked at the ten people one after another. Although they were full of confidence, they were still a little nervous at this time.

After hearing the mayor's words, the ten people pointed to the cold stewed dish without hesitation and said in one voice: "This , this one is the most delicious. "

The mayor smiled, brought up the braised pork and showed it to everyone, and said, "The ten of them all agreed that this is the most delicious dish. Whose dish is this and what is its name?" "

Those people stared at the plate in the mayor's hand with ugly expressions without saying a word. They were shocked and confused, especially Wang Changshun. It was clear that his preparation was perfect, why would he choose one of this guy's dishes now?!

Shen Ji Yao smiled, and the tension in his heart immediately dissipated, and he said: "I made this, it's called cold braised pork. "

Xu Rong's cheers suddenly rang out from the audience, and even Xiao Doumi was shouting excitedly.

The mayor smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He took the stewed vegetables aside and then asked ten people: "The most delicious ones have been selected. Now it's time to choose the least delicious ones. I dare to ask you, which dishes are the least satisfying among them. "

As soon as these words came out, Wang Changshun and the other two people immediately tensed up, fearing that their dishes would be ordered. Since Shen Jiyao's dishes were fine, their dishes would naturally be rejected. The

ten people looked at each other a few times, Then they pointed to six dishes and said: "These dishes taste really weird, sweet, bitter and spicy, I can't even eat them. "

Shen Jiyao's originally smiling face was suddenly stunned. He looked at the dishes they pointed out with disbelief. Four of them were made by himself?!

This is impossible! How could his own dishes appear like this? A low-level question.

Shen Jiyao didn't say anything, but picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and ate it in his mouth. The next moment he frowned. The ribs were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The sweet and vinegary taste was just right, but there was something inside. There was a bitter taste in it, which made the dish nondescript.

Everyone knew it was Shen Jiyao's dish when they looked at his nervous look, and couldn't help but burst into an uproar. They often ate at Liuxian Tower, so they believed in Shen Jiyao. There are those who don't want to believe Yao's cooking skills, and there are those who are whispering in the dark, and there are all kinds of comments.

Lan Qianjue cannot accept this fact, and he is not the only one who has such emotions. Neither Qi, who was sitting on the stage, nor Xu Rong, who was confidently waiting for Shen Jiyao's triumphant victory, believed that the four dishes cooked by Shen Jiyao were inedible. Qi couldn't help but get up and walk to the center of the ring. After looking at it, I saw that the colors of some of the dishes Shen Jiyao cooked were very beautiful. Just looking at them made me feel appetizing. Why are they so hard to swallow? Moreover, Shen Jiyao's cooking skills have always been guaranteed, even if they are casual. There is no way that stir-fried food can be classified as the most unpalatable dish. He had a gut feeling that there was something strange about this, and the eyes of everyone present became sharp.

Xu Rong and others in the audience panicked. How could it be possible? Their Brother Shen's cooking was always better than other dishes!

Shen Jiyao frowned. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, spit out the ribs and threw them on the table, and continued to try three other dishes. Without exception, there was a bitter taste.

Everyone looked at Shen Jiyao, and there were whispers in the audience.

The few people who had been watching were afraid that he would find out the clues, so they hurriedly said: "Mayor, now he can only put one dish on the table, and the other four can't be eaten. Even he can't eat it. Isn't it time to announce the winner of this competition?"

"This." The mayor looked at the ten people and said, "Are you sure these dishes are not delicious?

" Knowing that this was made by Shen Jiyao, now that he knew it, he couldn't help but look in disbelief. Although only one or two of the people had eaten the dishes cooked by Shen Jiyao, his name had spread throughout the town. , and the dishes cooked every time were very delicious. Naturally, they didn't believe that Shen Jiyao's cooking was unpalatable. But even so, with the facts in front of them, the two of them who didn't want to believe it still nodded hesitantly.

"I have nothing to say now." Wang Changshun said arrogantly: "Mayor, whoever loses our bet should get out of town. Now that he loses, shouldn't it be time to pack up and leave Nanquan Town?"

The mayor said. He was embarrassed, and just about to announce, Shen Jiyao shouted sharply: "Wait a minute! I have something to ask them before, town, please give me some time."

The mayor said: "This, no matter it is What's the reason? You're not getting recognition for your cooking. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Shen Jiyao frowned and didn't say anything. Qi Ke, who had been standing aside, said lightly: "Is there anything inappropriate? Yes, Mayor, can you still let the treacherous villain slander Shopkeeper Shen? Just ask whatever you want."

The mayor nodded and acknowledged Shen Jiyao's Qingqiu. Shen Jiyao was grateful. Looking at Qi, Wang Changshun's face instantly turned ugly. He was afraid of being found out, so he said dissatisfiedly: "I'm willing to admit defeat. My skills are inferior to others, why are I still stalling here?! Is this what Shopkeeper Shen does?" ? Also! Who are you? You dare not listen to what the mayor says. You are obviously someone hired by this guy! "

"How presumptuous!" Before Qi could speak, the mayor shouted. "Let's just discuss the matter. What are you doing with others?! You are impatient, aren't you!"

Wang Changshun was startled and thought to himself, it seems that this person does have some background, otherwise the mayor would not react like this. Banda, even if he wins today, he can't bear to walk away, he just hopes that the matter will not be exposed.

Shen Jiyao looked at him and said coldly: "Aren't you very clear about the scandal you did? Is this a technical problem or someone is doing something wrong? You will find out once you find out! What is this bitter taste? We can shout The shopkeeper of the grain and oil store came and tried it."

Wang Changshun couldn't answer the question for a moment. He lowered his head and broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing his appearance, Qi knew that there was something hidden. He snorted coldly and said, "Shen Shopkeeper, what did you want to ask just now? Please ask first."

Shen Jiyao nodded, thanked Qi, and then went to take out the salt and sucrose he used and tasted it. He frowned slightly. He raised his eyebrows, and then with a look of understanding on his face, he looked sharply at Xu Rong and others, then walked to the stage coldly and looked at everyone in the audience, saying: "I have a question. I wonder if you can help me." Let me explain, all five dishes are made by myself, why is the cold braised pork dish delicious, but these four dishes are inedible?"

Everyone looked at him curiously, and one of them shouted loudly. He said: "How do we know? Shopkeeper Shen might as well tell you what the reason is. I want to believe that shopkeeper Shen's cooking is unparalleled. How could it be inedible?"

Shen Jiyao looked at it intently. That person was One of the people who once said in the restaurant that he supported him would come to cheer him on.

Another supporter of Shen Jiyao shouted: "I also want to believe Shopkeeper Shen. Please tell us what's going on."

"Thank you everyone." Shen Jiyao clasped his fists in emotion and said: "Brother. There is no bitterness in the meat. That's because I didn't use salt. But just now I tried my salt and sugar, but I tasted bitterness in them. The braised pork didn't use salt, so there was no bitterness. Before that, I also There is one thing that can prove that someone is deliberately setting me up." Shen Jiyao said and walked towards Lan Qianjue, who took out the paper package of Sophora flavescens powder and the note and handed it to him.

Wang Changshun's face suddenly turned pale. He never imagined that Lan Qianjue would actually deceive him. He might have used this trick to seek a lot of benefits from Shen Jiyao. Thinking of this, Wang Changshun couldn't help but cut Lan Qianjue out fiercely. Kindred glanced at him.

Shen Jiyao looked at Wang Changshun and then said: "The sophora flavescens powder in this bag is what I put in my salt bag, and this note was stuffed into the Liuxian Tower building a day ago. We found it strange in the hands of the shopkeeper Lan Qianjue, so we tried our best to see what they wanted to do. When we went to the appointment on the second day, someone actually spent two taels of silver to bribe the shopkeeper to add sophora flavescens powder to my ingredients. It was me. The bag of stuff in my hand was naturally inedible if it was mixed with Sophora flavescens powder. However, what they didn't expect was that they found the wrong person and let me know about it. In fact, I had no intention of following them after I found out. I just want to win a fair fight, but it seems that I still underestimated them, and I actually made second-hand preparations, guarding against one and another."

Shen Jiyao said this with a pointed look. Wang Changshun, as expected, the mayor on the side understood the meaning of his gaze, so he followed his gaze and frowned in displeasure. Qi over there was also smart and knew what he meant with just one glance. Now Shen Jiyao didn't expose it directly perhaps because there was no direct evidence to prove it.

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar and began to discuss and guess who the person who wanted to frame Shen Jiyao was. Those who were smart could understand by following his gaze, but without saying much, Wang Changshun heard that Lan Qianjue was The head of the Liuxian Tower, Hou, had already turned gray. When he saw many eyes looking at him, he suddenly panicked. He held back his breath for a few moments before saying: "It's a joke, we are here to test our cooking skills today. If you lose, you should admit it." , why say so much."

"Is that true?" Shen Jiyao frowned and said, "Don't the mayor's words about fair competition count? It's you or the mayor who has the final say in Nanquan Town. Forget it, if you have the final say, I will move out of Nanquan Town immediately today. Even if you use dirty methods to win me, I will admit it. But if you don't have the final say, just stop talking. You act so Being impatient will make others misunderstand that you are framing me, or you are trying to excuse the person who framed me, so Shopkeeper Wang, it would be better if you say less and let the mayor handle this matter."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Changshun suddenly became confused. I started to tremble, and I really didn't dare to speak anymore.

Before the mayor could speak, Qi on the side said coldly: "Today we must find out the truth. If it doesn't work, we will leave it to the county magistrate. We must find out who is behind it. Once the culprit is found, we will Severe punishment will not be spared!"

Wang Changshun was startled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still stood up straight with his stiff body.

The mayor looked at a few people, then looked at Qi, and then said: "Then according to your wishes, how should this matter be handled?"

Qi looked at everyone and said: "Since no one is willing to admit it, he will send someone to notify Let the government go and let them investigate. Everyone who comes to the game today is suspected. You can put them all in jail for a few days. Don't let this despicable person succeed."

The mayor nodded and was about to do it. Shen Jiyao said: "Wait, don't bother the mayor, I know who it is."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar. Wang Changshun clenched his fists and tried to control himself not to tremble, while staring at Shen Jiyao.

Shen Jiyao glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Xu Rong and the others, and said with an indifferent expression: "I won't name who is behind this. Please stand up consciously, otherwise there will be no sympathy when I ask you to come out." It's up to you to decide. You can deal with it how you want when the time comes. I will never tolerate it. But if you stand up now, no matter what your reason is, I can consider forgiving you. On the contrary, you know my temper. It's not that easy. It's over."

Numerous eyes turned to Xu Rong and the others. Xu Rong and others looked around in confusion. Just when they were confused about the situation, Li Erquan shivered and stooped out of the crowd. He walked out and knelt down directly on the ground. His entire upper body lay on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground and he cried remorsefully: "Brother Shen, I did all this, but I was also persecuted and had no choice but to do so. They said that if I didn't do this, they would hand me over to the government. I was framed by them, and I was wronged! Brother Shen, I deserve to be blamed! My fault!"

Xu Rong and others looked at Li Erquan who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. Li Erfu suddenly woke up after being stunned for a while. He squeezed out of the crowd and picked up his brother by the collar, angry. He shouted: "It's you?! Why are you harming Brother Shen! Isn't he good enough to us?! You are so ungrateful! How could I have a brother like you!" Li Erfu said and raised his head angrily He punched Li Erquan with his hand.

Li Erquan was beaten until he lay on the ground, crying in pain.

Shen Jiyao said coldly: "Okay, don't cry. Tell everyone what happened. Tell everyone who framed you."

Li Erquan got up in a hurry after hearing this and said: "I don't know. Who is it? They asked the servants to show up, but I must be one of the three of them. That day I went to take out the garbage, but I felt a pain in the back of my head and lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was already lying in a hut. I was inside, and there was a naked woman lying next to me. I was startled, and the woman screamed. Then someone rushed into the house, grabbed me, and said that I had violated a good family and wanted to send me away. I was beheaded by the government. Brother Shen, I was afraid, so I begged them for mercy. They said that as long as I put a bag of things into the dishes, they would not trouble me again. I, I was confused for a moment, so I fell in love with them. Damn it, I deserve it! I shouldn't have lied to you and told you that I was from my hometown! It's all my fault, I should be beaten!" Li Erquan said, getting upset! He raised his hand and slapped himself hard, and the loud slap was enough to show his regret.

Shen Jiyao ignored him and let him fan himself.

He looked at Qi and said, "Now that I have enough personal and physical evidence as well as their motives for framing me, can I go to the government to accuse the three of them of framing me."

"Okay." Qi smiled and said, "I will do that. Send someone to take them to the Yamen." He said and waved to the audience. Upon seeing this, Abao, who was guarding the audience, immediately ran up and followed Qi's instructions.

Now the three of them were panicking, and Zhao Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, you can't just make false accusations. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was all Wang Changshun's idea. He couldn't bear to see Shopkeeper Shen's business." Better than his family, that's why Zhangwu and I were invited to compete in cooking skills in the afternoon. But because he was afraid of losing and being kicked out of Nanquan Town, he thought of two strategies to frame Shopkeeper Shen, and even the boy was the same. The woman he framed was not a prostitute at all, but a girl he found from a brothel. She has nothing to do with us. We hope the young master will find out. "

As soon as these words came out, everything became clear to everyone. Involuntarily, he began to insult Wang Changshun.

Wang Changshun's face was ashen and despairing. The matter was completely exposed and there was no room for maneuver, so he stopped denying it.

Seeing this, the mayor said: "In this case, the result of today's competition is no longer important. I think everyone can see clearly whose food is better, so I won't say more. As for Wang Changshun, shopkeeper Shen " Yes, what are you going to do with it?"

Shen Jiyao said, "I originally didn't plan to add anything to my condiments, but he has the intention of harming my friend. I can't let him off lightly today. He should be sent away." The official will send it to the official, and it will all be decided by the county magistrate."

Qi said lightly: "Then send it to the official. As for the two of you, if you don't report the knowledge and want to collaborate with him to frame others, you are not allowed to open the door for ten days. When doing business, you should reflect on yourself."

The two of them looked at him with dissatisfaction. Seeing this, the mayor said: "Why, if you don't want to, then you two will go to see the officials with him and see how the county magistrate treats you. "

The two were frightened and did not dare to speak anymore.

The matter was finally resolved, and everyone in the audience cheered. Shen Jiyao bowed to the mayor and Qi and wanted to leave. At this time, Qi said: "Shopkeeper Shen, the dish you just cooked looks really bad." It's very delicious. I wonder if I can order one or two dishes to try tomorrow."

Shen Jiyao was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Of course, you are welcome to come to the restaurant for dinner at any time. Thank you sir and the mayor for today. "Okay, let's go and say goodbye." Shen Jiyao originally planned to invite the two of them to come to Liuxian Tower for a gathering, but it would be inappropriate to say it in front of everyone, so he planned to invite them to sit down after the matter was over. .

After saying that, Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue got off the ring together and walked towards Xu Rong and the others. Li Erquan continued to slap himself in the face. Both sides of his face were already swollen. Li Erfu looked on with an uncomfortable look on his face. I felt so hateful and distressed, but I didn't dare to stop him.

Shen Jiyao passed by him at this time and said calmly without looking: "Go back first." After saying that, he directly picked up Xiao Doumi who was reaching out to him and left first.

Li Erfu was keenly aware of Shen Jiyao's displeasure, and he couldn't help but start to worry about Li Erquan, so he supported him and followed everyone back.
