Part 01: The Bird That Crosses Over

That person looked at her with a gaze reminiscent of a lunatic, and they had all been preparing for this exam for several months, even over a year, yet none of them had ever appeared so relaxed and comfortable.

She glanced at the person next to her, who was hurriedly stewing the chrysanthemum greens with boiling water, as the water gradually began to turn green.

"Shut up!" With a roar from Lin Dazhang, those concubines covered their mouths with handkerchiefs in grievance

The forest bird took a deep breath, proudly and confidently walked over while holding that bowl of bright red soup, which glowed under the sunlight.

Lin looked up at the trees, devoid of birds, in a daze

While shedding tears like seaweed in her heart, what a joke this is. The ones who can cook are Father Lin and Lord Lin You Niao. She has no skills, only knows how to boil instant noodles. Why is heaven so biased, specifically targeting novices in cooking.

Speaking of the absence of birds in this forest, it is rather lamentable. She is the youngest daughter of Tang Xin, the 20th concubine of the Lin family head. It is said that at such a young age, she is already capable of cooking exceptionally well.

"Daughter..." With a piercing cry of "Daughter...", a plump woman rolled in from the end of the courtyard. The makeup on her face was as thick as a city wall, her waist was round and her belly was fat. With each step she took on the ground, layers of flesh would ripple across her body. Most remarkably, a bright red pomegranate flower was tucked into her hair at the temples.

To actually contemplate what to do during the competition

Nothing was said, this is a genius, Lin Wuniao was deeply frustrated

This infamous name accompanied her throughout her growth into adulthood

Lin Wuniao stood at the last position of the competition venue, dressed in a long men's robe

I will do my best. She looked at the immensely plump woman with sorrow, feeling a strong urge to crash against the wall for the first time

This is unfair, absolutely unfair

Ah?

Ah, the baby has also been prepared for three years!

Hand-dyed soup

The imperial kitchen? ! '' She was deeply horrified

When Lin Wuniao was born, avian influenza was rampant. In order to buy a young chicken for material, Lin's father traveled a full day's journey but found nothing. In a fit of anger, he named his second daughter Lin Wuniao.

With a resounding clap, a firm hand successfully calmed her surging emotions: "Daughter, you must remain composed. If you lose your footing, you won't make it into the top three, and then you won't be able to become the imperial chef."

This is a topic that the head of the Lin family pondered for N nights before coming up with. To reflect its cultural essence, he even invited the foremost talent of our time to inscribe the competition plaque.

How is it?" Lin Dajiang asked again.

Ah...

Truly breathtaking beyond compare

Due to being entrusted with such an important responsibility, the Lin family is even more diligent, and the selection of imperial chefs for each term is conducted with great rigor

Lin Wuniao happens to be one of the selected candidates for this year's selection

Lin Wuniao was on the verge of tears. Of course, she could also make soup, but she could only make one kind, which was the fairy soup. Just add a bit of soy sauce, a bit of monosodium glutamate, and everything is fine

Cooking is easy, but preparing a soup that is rich in color, aroma, and flavor is exceedingly difficult. If it is too strong, it will overpower the harmony of the other dishes; if it is too bland, it will be as uninteresting as plain water. Therefore, this competition is not particularly easy.

"No bird, are you not avoiding it?" she asked

Yoshi, let's begin! She rubbed her hands together and started peeling the green garlic, humming a little tune as she went along. She had come to a realization and, in the spirit of the Olympics, decided that participation was what mattered most

For a chef renowned for his mastery of bird-sized dishes, nothing brings him more peace than the quality of the ingredients

Ah, are you calling me? Lin Wuniao's mind was still in a state of confusion

The person in front is desperately juicing carrots, and the orange juice flows down the bowl, with half of it spilling onto his sleeve.

Wow! The red corridors and green tiles, wow! The wine pools and meat forests, whose family is so impressive, using salted fish and salted meat as decorative items hanging throughout the entire courtyard, the whole house can be so vulgar, with red and green clashing together.

No birds, no birds, what a truly desolate name

You have forgotten, tomorrow is the Lin family's Chef King Competition. I heard that the host is the top chef from the Imperial Kitchen, ensuring absolute fairness and justice. Niao'er, I am counting on you.

The head chef, with an expression of disbelief, lowered his head and took another sip, the rosy pigment leaving a layer of brilliant lip color on his lips

Ah?

Bird, aren't you capable of everything? As long as you have seen a dish, you can generally prepare it.

Surrounding the head of the Lin family are the various concubines of the Lin household, each robust and strong, dressed in vibrant hues of purple and red, with delicate handkerchiefs twisting in their plump hands.

"Then you need to hurry, as the incense has already burned halfway." He kindly reminded her, intending to cease the conversation with her.

"No bird, what foolishness are you committing? Have you slept foolishly?" The plump woman twisted her handkerchief, feeling very conflicted and pouting.

Stirring and stirring, the bowl of water reveals a sheen and brilliance, the water in the bowl is quite beautifully red, reminiscent of the brightness of spring, the coolness of summer, the fragrance of autumn fruits, and the blazing sun of winter

"Fiery Red Lips! The Best Soup in the Divine Land!" She spoke unabashedly

Lin Wuniao felt somewhat apprehensive; this seasoning pack was for mushroom chicken, and she was unsure if it would suit the tastes of the two individuals. However, in terms of the seasoning itself, this flavor was undoubtedly one of her favorites. At the very least, she always felt unsatisfied after finishing it.

Since it is a broth dyed by unadorned hands

"Look, you have even prepared the materials," she exclaimed, pointing at the eco-friendly bag in Lin Wuniao's hand

Oh? The head of the Lin family has also taken an interest, exchanging a glance with the head chef. Each took a small sip, and after that small sip entered their mouths, both were immediately left completely stunned

Cough, cough, cough, it could be deadly... Her bosom is too magnificent, it could truly suffocate someone

He unexpectedly saw her bowl of eerily red soup through the rows of competitors in front of him

"My good daughter, you are finally willing to stand up for your mother and participate in the Lin family's chef competition!" She cried out in great distress

"Daughter, you are awake!" She gasped as she rushed over.

The officiant took out an incense stick and lit it high up. As the incense began to burn, the participants behind each table grew tense.

After retching several times, I finally managed to calm my emotions and feigned a nonchalant demeanor, turning my face back to gaze calmly at the two individuals in front of me

As for the dye... the hermit has his own clever plan

Lin Wuniao looked up and saw a row of meatballs. She slowly tore open a small packet of seasoning and mixed it with the boiling water before adding it in

The name of this rapeseed dish is bestowed by Father Bailin. It is said that when the forest was filled with birds, he was preparing a dish called "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix." With a flash of oil, the culinary masterpiece was created, and he won the Outstanding Chef Award in one fell swoop

What am I best at?" Lin Wuniao said with a frown, pointing at herself, looking at the eager-eyed Twenty Aunt, who had placed all her hopes on her youngest daughter

"Oh my, I have traveled through time." She realized it belatedly, taking two hours to respond.

"Master Miao, how does it taste?" The voice of Master Lin trembled.

I will do my best..." Lin Wuniao's mouth twitched

Except for Lin Wuniao

This is the Jinbi Dynasty, and the Lin family is the foremost imperial chef. In the kitchen of the emperor, out of ten chefs, nine are sourced from the Lin family

He wiped his sweat and then began to peel other materials again

Bowl by bowl, they were piled in front of Lin Daji's and the head chef's.

"Daughter, oh, time travel? No, no, no, you look good in anything! Look at this green one, this thick one, it must be some rare treasure from somewhere, right?" The plump woman looked at her, utterly satisfied, pulling at the military coat she was wearing, exclaiming in admiration.

an incredulous expression

The title of the competition is: Delicate Hands Dyeing Soup

"Why are you constantly looking around?" He turned back in dissatisfaction and saw Lin Wuniao peering around, looking left and right. In contrast to his disheveled state, she appeared quite relaxed.

As the saying goes: the imperial kitchen, the grand kitchen of the Lin family

However, this is a fictional ancient setting, so it is certainly inappropriate to use a bowl of soy sauce soup for competition, and the condiments of this era are exceedingly scarce

"Bird, do not worry too much; the questions for tomorrow's competition have already been obtained by mother." She suddenly pushed Lin Wuniao aside, squinting her eyes, her gaze exceptionally sharp.

"Hey, you, bring the bowl up here!" She barely had time to indulge in her own thoughts before she heard the voice of the head chef from the stage calling out.

I am wondering what kind of soup to make she honestly replied

"Oh my, it's on, it's on!" She raised her hands high above her head, filled with horror as she dashed around the room.

Who will tell her what a chaotic situation this truly is

"No bird, mother is so relieved." She pulled Lin Wuniao over, pressed her into her bosom, and kept patting her.

My lord, my second son has been preparing for over a year!

All members of the Lin family who have reached the age of 15 must participate in the Lin family's Chef King Competition, and only those who place in the top three will have the opportunity to enter the selection for the Imperial Chef.

Lin Wuniao turned his face away and quietly vomited

"Bird, I am counting on you." She continued to wring the handkerchief weakly, under the giant's hand, that small, pink handkerchief was kneaded by her until it resembled powder, with pieces fluttering down.

and has continued to decline until now

Therefore, in order to commemorate a significant moment, he carefully named his firstborn son Lin You Niao.

In fact, she had just returned home from the supermarket and opened the pressure cooker, preparing to boil some water for instant noodles. The Kang X husband instant noodles and Mei X Lian lip balm she was holding in her hand had not even been set down. She planned to finish the noodles, take a short nap, and then continue to play games wrapped in her military coat. However, the pressure cooker exploded, and she astonishingly found herself transported to another world.

The competition lasts for the duration of a burning incense stick. All members of the Lin family are eligible to participate. The soup or broth prepared must be rich in color, aroma, and flavor. It is important to emphasize the character of 'dye'.

Ah?

Why is it all the same behavior?

She certainly knows who she is

Lin Wuniao, with a determined expression, stood before the bowl, spread his arms wide, took a deep breath, and pulled out the glossy lipstick from his pocket. With a pinch of his index finger, he stirred it into the bowl

She then decided to boil a packet of instant noodles with chicken essence seasoning.

The topic of tomorrow's competition is ... ... '' She gritted her teeth, gazing at a forty-five degree angle, with an incredibly mysterious and captivating expression, staring intently at Lin Wuniao.

Contestants have gradually presented the soup in their bowls, featuring red and green, purple and blue

It seems as if one is fully prepared and confident.

The Lin family has two treasures: Lin has a bird and Lin has no bird

She was originally an unnecessary contestant, and no one would linger their gaze on her for even a moment. The ingredients on her table were also significantly fewer than those of others, consisting only of a section of green garlic and several seasonings

A dense layer of cold sweat soon seeped from Lin Wuniao's forehead. My goodness, now it is clear that the plump woman is actually wearing a large floral robe with a front opening, truly embodying an ancient charm

The twentieth concubine, being out of favor, devoted herself to the frenzied study of culinary arts every day, hoping that one day she could participate in the Culinary King Competition, make a name for herself, and secure a place for her mother.

Lin Wuniao looked up and saw that the incense had already burned three-quarters of the way

"Hey, little one, what is this?" The head chef squinted his eyes, took the soup from her hand, shook it gently, and the vibrant red color reflected a brilliant array of light as it swayed.

Products without quality assurance, production license, and after-sales service are truly harmful to people's lives
