...Happy Reading's...
...~••~••<•>••~••~...
Xinxin continued to struggle with her thoughts, guessing whether she was discovered or not if she had fallen asleep earlier. This attitude of his was the same as disrespecting the Emperor, he could be punished!
"Ekhem," someone cleared his throat from beside Xinxin made Xinxin return to reality. Xinxin turned his head and found the two young ladies he had seen earlier.
"You don't intend to return?" Ask the young lady dressed in pink. His tone sounded resolute but within it there was no trace of sarcasm.
"No! I'll be back now!" Xinxin said as she stood up.
"Per...," her steps were prevented by the young lady dressed in light brown.
"Hm yeah? What's up?" Xinxin faced them.
They don't want to bully him, do they? Inner Xinxin was.
As he had said, he was sure no one would want to be friends with him.
"Can we get acquainted?" Ask the young lady dressed in pink.
"Huh? Oh oh, I can!" Xinxin directly reached out her hand and was immediately greeted by the woman.
"My name is Fu Xinxin!" Xinxin introduced himself.
"No need to be formal! My name is Wu Zhu!" He said with a friendly smile.
After Wu Zhu released her link, the other woman stuck out her hand in a kind welcome by Xinxin.
"My name is Li Zhishu! Greetings!" Her speech.
They came back together without servants while chatting with each other and when there were two roads they separated.
.......
.......
.......
"Well tired too!" Xinxin.
He was currently alone, as the servants serving all the young misses were assigned to other places.
Xinxin was thinking does she have to take a shower? But his eyes were very heavy, so he chose to sleep.
...~•<•>•~...
In the morning, precisely in front of a large building that is like a hall.
In front of him, or rather in his field there are neatly arranged tables.
There were thirty tables with cooking tools. Such as knives with various shapes and sizes, cutting boards, aprons, and other tools.
For cooking ingredients there are five large tables in front of the thirty tables.
One by one young lady arrived and directed to occupy a table that already has their names.
Xinxin came over with her lazy face entering an area that was already plentiful with people.
Seen in the third row in the order of the third and sixth tables there was Wu Zhu and Li Zhishu were waving their hands, Xinxin made up for it because when she looked around only she was standing by the tree.
After greeting enough, Xinxin headed for the only empty table located in the front row in fourth.
Xinxin thought about why he kept getting a place in front. Just last night's banquet, he was in front very close to Emperor Zhuting without even a single person as a hindrance. And now why is he in front again? And that, the large empty seat looked extravagant than any other seat Xinxin guessed was Emperor Zhuting's seat and it was precisely opposite his desk at the moment.
"Come away!"
Xinxin did not think about it anymore, it was probably just a coincidence, he thought.
"What am I cooking?"
Xinxin was thinking what should she cook? Want to cook the typical cuisine of the people of this world, but he did not really know what foods were often eaten by nobles, let alone an Emperor?!
"Just one time!"
He thought of red noodle soup with a super spicy but addictive taste. He found a lot of flour in this world so it would be easy, and chilli there was also even though the people in this world did not like it very much.
"Or the devil's hens? Hehehe can too!"
Well this is his favorite food, but again spicy, surely many do not like it.
Xinxin decided to make fried rice instead! In addition to all the ingredients there and the manufacture is not difficult.
Some people with typical chef clothes came. One by one they sat on a chair with a table on top of which was their name. They were the judges on the cooking test today, other than them of course Emperor Zhuting would also taste it, but because as an Emperor had a lot of work, he said, so Emperor Zhuting would come at the end at the time of the appraisal only.
The one on the right side of the thirty-five-year-old female chef was named Huanren, in the middle, a forty-year-old male chef named Ziang Heng and on the left side, a female chef, the male chef who already looked very old was sixty-five years old named Long Ya.
After the three of them sat down, came again a few people with the special clothes of the bodyguards numbering 20. Their job is to keep an eye on the young ladies who will cook and will occasionally help if asked not to help in terms of cooking. They all took positions among the participant tables.

Eunuch Jang came and immediately spoke about the rules in the test.
"Your cooking time is 2 hours!"
"Cuisine ingredients as well as a furnace for baking or others are also in front. Ask your bodyguards for help if you have trouble using the firebox,"
"Last, remember don't ask for help related to cooking, such as cutting and as her! So! Then fight!" After the last sentence was said, Eunuch Jang left because he could not stay away from Emperor Zhuting for long.
After Eunuch Jang left, someone dressed in the typical Eunuchs also advanced forward in place of Eunuch Jang before.
"Your two hours start now!" The eunuch intervened, starting the test.
The young misses of the test takers began to move, taking the ingredients they needed for their cooking.
Seeing the crowds swarming around tables one through three, Xinxin chose table five where there was rice.
"Rice, eggs and chicken meat already, especially yes?!" Xinxin muttered while thinking what she would add to her fried rice as well as topping what she would make for the sweetener.
At the thought, someone patted him on the shoulder, and it turned out to be Li Zhishu.
"Hi!" Sapa Xinxin's.
"Hi too!" Back to Zhishu.
"Where's Zhu?" Xinxin asked as she looked towards the other table and she saw that Wu Zhu was at the first table.
"That's it! What are you looking for here?" Ask Xinxin.
"Find the chicken!" Answer Zhishu.
"Oh, please! That's where the chicken is!" Xinxin said as she pointed at the corner of the end of the table.
"Then I go there first!" Said Zhishu who was replied with a nod by Xinxin.
After Zhishu left, Xinxin went to table two where there were vegetables.
"Red staff isn't there?!" Xinxin asked herself as she pickled vegetables.
Xinxin did not get anything on the second table, he switched to the third table and here it turns out to be a special medicinal plant and here also there is a bottom and chili.
"It turns out in this world onions, garlic and chilies are medicinal plants?!"
Without lingering on the ingredients he needed, Xinxin returned to his desk, taking a place to wash the rice and cook it.
Many see it strange, because rice is included food ingredients that are more consumed by the lower class, even if the nobility only made something other than rice.
Waiting for the rice to mature, Xinxin also cut up the ingredients for the fried rice mixture later. Do not forget the eggs he broke and stir until it causes a little foam.
Half an hour of cooked rice and he cooled for a while while he put the pan on the fire stove.
Put the onion that has been washed and in thin Iris then let it turn yellow and the distinctive aroma of fried onions began to smell he also put small pieces of chicken meat and stir it until cooked. It feels ripe Xinxin put enough rice then stir it until flat.
Only ten minutes of fried rice made so. The smell draws attention around. They wondered what Xinxin was cooking to create a tantalizing aroma, making them hungry.
Within an hour and twenty minutes, Xinxin was finished with several toppings on top, including a thinly sliced hard-boiled egg, thin fried eggs are cut into small and lastly boiled chicken in a small stir.
Xinxin raised a hand. "Is there anything you can help, miss?" Ask the bodyguard beside Xinxin.
"Oh no! I just want to say that my cooking is ready! So I want to hand it over now. Otherwise my cooking would be cold if not enjoyed now," the bodyguard could not answer, the silent guard's call of Emperor Zhuting's presence diverted their entire attention. Down, "Greet His Majesty the Emperor, may he always bestow blessings!" Say everything.
Emperor Zhuting waved his hand allowing them to stand straight back and return to their activities.
"Ekhem, how?" Xinxin cleared his throat earlier in questioning his wishes.
"Someway, miss! I'll tell the cooks!" The bodyguard went to the jury table and spoke there.
While waiting for Xinxin to see other young ladies steal the lyrics to direct the cuisine.
And Xinxin could see that their cooking was only half-finished, but it was thirty minutes away.
Before long, the bodyguard returned and said. "Miss can bring four dishes miss! The first lady should place it on the table of His Majesty the Emperor, the next one is to the table of the chefs," explained the bodyguard who was taken in understanding by Xinxin.
