Chapter 350 Look at the face

In short, don't let Su Yujin always have to work hard in the kitchen just because of your greed.

He Yanxiu, "..."

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

As expected, sooner or later you will pay for what you have done.

He Yanxiu took two bites of the rice in the bowl and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, I'll remember that."

The three of them had a very comfortable meal, and when Mrs. He left Meixiang Garden, it was already getting late at night.

"I'll take grandma back." He Yanxiu stood up.

"No, there are so many people here, with lanterns and sedan chairs, it won't be a problem." Madam He refused, but reminded, "It's getting late, Yu Jin should rest early, and you should go back early too."

Don't disturb Yu Jin's rest.

He Yanxiu, "..."

Su Yujin's face now showed a little fatigue. He originally wanted to leave now and let her rest early, but after being reminded by his grandmother, he always felt something strange.

Staring at my own eyes, it seemed as if there were more of them.

He Yanxiu touched his nose.

Here, Madam He walked back slowly.

As he walked, he sighed, "Yujin is a really good kid. She cooks excellent meals and her medical skills are impeccable. I drank half a bowl of this soup to help digestion and relieve bloating, and now I feel my stomach is much better."

"Yes, I also think she is very good." Mother Zheng beside her also nodded with a smile, "She is a rare good girl. No wonder the Second Master loves her so much."

"To be frank, if I were 20 years younger and a man, I would be unable to walk when I saw you, the county lady."

Madam He nodded, then shook her head after a moment, "That's why I'm wondering, why did you fall for Yan Xiu?"

"How can I describe Yan Xiu? He is good-looking, honest, loyal, and motivated. Overall, he is not bad. However, he lacks tenderness and is not popular among girls."

Madam He sighed, "Looking at his appearance, I really don't know how he caught Yu Jin's eye. I am beginning to suspect that Yan Xiu had ulterior motives when he redeemed Yu Jin and later used kindness to blackmail her. Did Yu Jin get on his pirate ship?"

Mother Zheng, "..."

Does the Second Master know that you said this about him?

It is said that other people forget their mothers after getting married, but in the case of the old lady, she forgets her grandson after getting a future grandson and a daughter-in-law? If others hear this, they might think that she is not a real grandmother.

But then again, Lady Ping'an was indeed excellent in everything, she knew when to advance and retreat, and she was truly likable. Even she, a servant, thought Lady Ping'an was excellent, and felt that if she were to find a wife for her descendants, she should marry someone like her.

"How could that be? I think that Lord Ping'an thinks that the Second Master is a very affectionate person with excellent character, and they have developed a friendship over the long time they have been together."

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Besides, no matter what, our He family has a good family background, the Second Master is in a high position, and he is even more handsome than Pan An. Even if any girl sees the Second Master, she will be very moved. County Lady Ping'an is also a girl, how could she not like him?"

"Yu Jin is not someone who values ​​family background and power." Madam He waved her hand. "Yan Xiu is much more handsome than ordinary people..."

"It seems that Yujin is also a girl who only cares about appearance."

Madam He couldn't help but curl her lips.

This is somewhat similar to her appearance back then.

When she was searching the capital for her future husband, she was choosing her husband in accordance with the Empress Dowager's decree.

According to the imperial decree, no matter which young man she liked at the time, no matter his social status, how old he was, what his feelings were, or whether he had been engaged before, as long as she nodded, the marriage would be granted.

At that time, she fell in love with the top three scholar in the imperial examination - Mr. He.

It was not for any other reason, but because Mr. He gave birth to the most handsome man she had ever seen. So when the top three candidates in the imperial examination were parading on horseback, she immediately stopped Mr. He and took him into the palace to ask the empress dowager to grant her marriage.

As for Mr. He, although he was extremely shocked, he immediately agreed to the marriage.

The reason is that a girl who can stop a horse in the street is really interesting, and it will definitely be a lot of fun after marriage...

When Mrs. He thought of this old story, her cheeks turned red, but she nodded again for Su Yujin.

Things like looking at faces...

Very good! ——On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the cooking competition officially began.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The competition took place on the long street. The stoves were placed from the Eight Immortals Building to the Juweizhai, and next to them were piles of various meats, vegetables, and condiments.

Next to each stove is a counter for cutting vegetables and washing dishes, on which are placed knives, spatulas, etc. used for cooking.

The rules of the preliminary competition are very simple. You need to complete a dish within half an hour and submit it to the judges for judging. The judges will issue a pass or fail decision on the spot. Those who pass can enter the second competition tomorrow.

This competition requires that all participants must be chefs from restaurants in Beijing. There is no requirement for the size of the restaurants. Even those who often set up stalls on the roadside to sell breakfast and wonton noodles are eligible.

Although the requirements are low, many people do not think they can shine. Instead, they worry about being embarrassed for not even passing the first round. Therefore, many smaller restaurants and vendors choose not to participate.

Therefore, the number of people who came to participate in the preliminary examination was not particularly large, with a total of more than 150 people.

The stoves used in the competition were built across the street, with ten on each side, allowing twenty people to compete at the same time. A competition, from the time the chefs started cooking to the time the final evaluation results came out, as well as the time used to clean the stoves, took half an hour and a quarter of an hour. These eight rounds would take about five hours.

The days are short in winter, so in order not to waste time, the cooking competition began when the sky began to turn pale in the east.

The uniform thumping sound of cutting vegetables, the sizzling sound of frying, and the cheers and encouragement from the people around make the whole street even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

Su Yujin also arrived at Changjie early and watched the game below with Zheng Mingyuan and Wu Jiantong.

If you look from the third floor of Juweizhai, you can actually see the general situation of the game, but the location is a bit remote. In order to see clearly, Su Yujin booked a seat on the third floor of Qingfengju early on.

The viewing position here is excellent. You can have a panoramic view of what is happening below, and even see clearly how the chefs arrange the dishes.

The three of them drank tea while talking about the dishes and cooking process of the chefs' competition below.

"Chef Ma from Hongyun Restaurant started by cooking their specialty, the Pumpkin Soup with Golden Jade. Maybe he wants to use Tian Ji's horse racing trick?"
