Chapter 1798: 075. Extre Expansion_2
Lin Yuan stood tall, with her hands folded in front, a faint smile on her face, looking at him calmly, without saying a word.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s silence, Bai Jing thought she was startled by him, as she was just a teenage girl after all.
A teenager, indeed. Bai Jing had been in the imperial kitchen for more than a decade. Could he really be defeated by a little girl?
Bai Jing imdiately recalled his frustration after that palace banquet. He was born into an Imperial Kitchen Family, played in the kitchen following his father since he was four, was forced to recite various recipes at five, practiced knife skills at ten, and followed his father into the imperial kitchen at fifteen, becoming a small helper.
For ten years, he grew from an unknown child into a young man, his culinary skills improved, but his temper also grew more arrogant.
Of course, he only saw his rits and was blind to his flaws.
When he competed in culinary skills with Lin Yuan that day, he was defeated, and vented his anger greatly upon returning.
If Liang Liqin hadn’t revealed Lin Yuan’s identity as Princess Pingxi, Bai Jing would have been furious to death.
Indeed, who was his opponent? Soone favored newly this year — Princess Pingxi!
She was both the adopted daughter of Consort Shu, the adopted sister of the Third Prince, and the future prospective daughter-in-law of the General Mansion. Competing with soone of such noble identity, how could he possibly not be defeated?
When his subordinates ntioned this, Bai Jing imdiately sensed the conspiracy behind this competition. The more he thought, the more unsettled he felt, and the next day, he gathered a few people at Dong Tian to ambush her, seeking to avenge his humiliation.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan hadn’t visited Dong Tian these days. They waited in vain for several days until today, when the little beggar sent to keep watch saw Lin Yuan enter and quickly reported to them. They hurriedly ca to stir up trouble.
After ridiculing the Four Joys Fortune Bag, Bai Jing picked up the chopsticks and continued to criticize several other dishes.
Listening to Bai Jing’s criticisms, Lin Yuan slightly raised an eyebrow. Bai Jing truly was worthy of being the head chef of the imperial kitchen; even when being picky and nitpicking, he was more articulate than those small lackeys who spoke earlier.
Bai Jing spoke while gesturing, his saliva flying, even the dirtiest Qian Hai couldn’t help but lean back slightly to avoid the flying spittle.
Finally, when Bai Jing finished his explanation, Lin Yuan amusingly shook her head, raised her hand and said loudly, “Go, pour a cup of hot tea for Mr. Bai to soothe his throat; talking so much must have made him thirsty.”
Pfft!
Soone among the onlookers couldn’t hold back for a mont and burst out laughing.
The crowd had been cowed by Bai Jing’s verbose tirade earlier, assuming Lin Yuan, the main party, would be just as intimidated!
Especially when seeing Lin Yuan raise her hand, so couldn’t resist speculating that she was outraged and about to drive them away.
Yet, who would have thought, she was actually ordering tea!
Bai Jing didn’t overthink it, seeing Lin Yuan so courteously asking for tea to lubricate his throat, he imdiately straightened up proudly and continued formally, “Princess Pingxi need not flatter . What I said earlier were all facts; if the princess finds them unpleasant, consider them as nonsense. After all, with your identity laid bare, I, a re imperial chef, cannot afford to provoke!”
When he said this, although his voice wasn’t loud, every word was clear, especially the phrase “re imperial chef,” which he deliberately emphasized.
Sure enough, the spectators were all awed by his title of imperial chef, and discussions erupted fervently among the crowd.
“My gosh, he’s an imperial chef! That’s soone who cooks for the Emperor. Today, I saw soone who cooks for Your Majesty! Mother, can you see this from heaven?”
“No wonder he spoke so eloquently earlier. Turns out he’s an imperial chef! I heard not just anyone can beco an imperial chef; he’s so skilled, his culinary skills must be excellent!”
“Tsk, what do you know? It’s not just excellent; it’s superb, extraordinarily good! Soone who cooks for Your Majesty, if the cooking isn’t good, wouldn’t they lose their heads at any ti?”
“Wait, why has this imperial chef co to Dong Tian? Criticizing Dong Tian’s dishes incessantly; could it be…”
“What do you an by criticizing? Are you unaware what an imperial chef is? If an imperial chef says your cooking is bad, it is bad; it’s not just criticism! Watch your words!”
