"It's indeed the best dish that I ordered. I'm afraid this chef will become the dining room's new favorite."
"Even the three dishes were deeply loved by His Majesty. I wonder what His Majesty will reward him?"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is indeed very talented. It must have taken a lot of effort to find such a skilled chef."
The waiter hurriedly went to invite Mag, while the ministers began to discuss in low voices. Naturally, many ministers from the second prince's lineage would not miss such a good opportunity to praise him.
The ministers of the eldest prince's lineage all looked a bit unhappy now. The birthday celebration had just begun, and the second prince had already attracted a lot of attention. I didn't expect that he would make such a strange move and make a fuss at the palace banquet. Exceeded everyone's expectations.
Qiao Xiu and Sean didn't have anything to think about at this moment. The numbness on their lips was a bit unbearable, and the burning sensation in their throats was even more unbearable.
Sean picked up a glass of wine from the table and drank it in one gulp. It was like a catalyst, and the burning feeling became even stronger. He had to hold back not to spit out the wine.
"Bring me a pot of ice water and put more ice cubes in it." Qiao Xiu whispered to the maid serving beside him. He had tasted the spicy grilled fish the day before yesterday and drank a large pot of ice water to relieve the pain. The spicy feeling and the hearty feeling after drinking the ice water are even more refreshing.
"Master, if this is the case, does my father rank first?"
Amy asked, looking up at Crassus.
Crassus smiled and nodded: "Yes, the grilled fish cooked by Boss Mai has been designated by the king as the best dish for today's palace banquet. It is also the most delicious dish at today's palace banquet, so it naturally ranks first."
Nuo Fan, who was sitting next to him, nodded and said, "Boss Mai is a talent."
"According to convention, the chef with the best dishes will stay in the palace and become a royal chef. Will Boss Mai not go back?" Crassus asked a little curiously.
"Boss Mai will go back." A smile appeared on Nuofan's face. "In addition to discussing modifications and additions to the new peace agreement this time, the other thing I am doing here is to take Boss Mai back to the City of Chaos."
Crassus looked at Novan with a puzzled look on his face, "Since when did chefs become strategic assets? You, a tenth-level great magician, actually went all out for a chef?"
Nuofan smiled and said nothing.
"As expected of my man, he will do his best no matter what he does."
Irina put down her chopsticks with a satisfied look on her face, and burped a little while wiping her mouth with a silk scarf. Although she wouldn't gain weight no matter how much she ate, she hadn't eaten so full for a long time because she couldn't find anything that could. Delicious food that she can't stop eating.
"If you put it this way, after raising him for three years, he not only learned to take care of the baby, but also learned to cook, and then took it back. It seems that he has earned something." Irina thought in her heart, looking at her Falling on Qiao Xiu, his expression was slightly cold, "However, those guys who participated back then, I will pick you out one by one, peel off your skin and cramps, and let you know what cruelty is."
…
After finishing the three dishes, Mag had already started cleaning the kitchen utensils and packing things up, which seemed quite leisurely.
On the surface, it looked calm and relaxed, but Mag was a little uneasy in his heart. After all, he came here with a system mission. If he didn't get first place, it would be embarrassing if he failed the mission.
The uncertainty of this mission was too high. It was based solely on the king's subjective preference. Although the waiter said that the king was very satisfied with the first two dishes, there was still no way to determine whether the best dish could be selected.
The serving of food has ended, and the bustling dining hall suddenly became quiet. Although there is no need to cook anymore, there are not many chefs who wash pots as leisurely as Mag.
All the chefs are waiting to reveal who will get the best dish at today's palace banquet. This represents the highest honor in the chef world. Once you become famous, everyone who comes here will not want to win this honor.
"The best dish this time is definitely Master! Master has won the best dish for nine consecutive years. If he wins it again, it will be an unprecedented ten consecutive years."
"Yes, Your Majesty likes to eat Master's cooking the most, and it hasn't changed in all these years."
The chefs surrounding Bierman looked confident and seemed ready to celebrate.
Bierman's expression remained calm, and he wiped the stove carefully with a handkerchief, seemingly not caring about the result.
Nandeli glanced at Mag who was cleaning up the stove, and said a little bit strangely: "If you ask me, Master Bierman will definitely win the best dish for this palace banquet. There is still a gap between other chefs and him. .”
"Yes, not everyone can get the best dish. Who knows His Majesty's preferences better than Master Bierman." Sibal continued, with a hint of schadenfreude in his smile.
For the first two dishes, they thought Mag might be the best dish, but the fish at the end had such a strong spicy taste that even those of them who were standing so far away couldn't stand it.
There were few chefs present who didn't know that the king didn't like dishes with strong flavors, but Mag had to commit such a taboo, so he might have been reprimanded because of this dish.
"Brother Mag, you put so much chili pepper into the last fish, is it really okay?"
Kaluru stood aside with a little red eyes, looking at Mag with a worried look. His eyes were not because he was too pessimistic and wanted to cry, but because he didn't care when Mag asked him to stand far away when he put the chili. , was smoked.
"Yeah, it's so spicy that I can't even open my eyes."
"I can't see anything now."
Ruluka and Rukaka squinted their eyes, and they could no longer find the small one.
"It'll probably be fine." Mag smiled and shook his head. He added mild spicy food to the king's portion, and only added Qiao Xiu and Sean's spicy food to the four portions.
Amy's portion was medium spicy, and Amy liked this level of spiciness the most.
He also put Irina's portion with mild spiciness, the elf taste was on the light side, and the spiciness level that Sally was most comfortable with was mild spiciness.
As for the others, he all used super spicy ones. Anyway, even if they had a grudge, they would probably remember it on Qiao Xiu's head. He even regretted not giving them abnormal spicy ones now.
This is probably selfishness...
Mag didn't take Nandelli and Sibal's words to heart at all. It was like a master's fight. If a chicken ran by and was trampled to death, it would feel a bit like lowering one's status.
Just as Karuru was about to speak, a waiter walked in quickly from the door of the dining hall and said loudly: "Congratulations to Chef Mag for the spicy grilled fish that was selected by His Majesty as the best dish for today's palace banquet. Please follow me, Chef Mag." Go to the palace together and His Majesty will reward you personally."
