Tianhua mushroom is a type of fungus that grows in the mountains and looks like pine flowers.

Tianhua Biluo is a stuffed pasta dish made with Tianhua mushrooms as a side dish, shaped like a spring roll but much larger. It is filled with rice, seasoned with a Jiulianxiang seasoning, wrapped in dough and steamed.

Liu Yishou had already started preparing the dough, while Shen Danru hadn't made a move yet. Duan Dong couldn't help but sneer.

"With this much, you dare to compare your culinary skills with the master chef? You're really being arrogant."

It wasn't that Shen Danru didn't know how to make it, but rather that making this Tianhua Biluo was a bit troublesome. With so many people in the Jiang family, and each person wanting to try one, just making the dough and the crust would take half a day.

Liu Yishou had so many helpers, while Liu Cuihua was the only one helping her wash vegetables.

Qingtan is alright with her sword, but as for asking her to help with cooking, forget it. Let's just wait and eat.

It would be a blessing if she didn't make things worse.

Shen Danru had a sudden inspiration and had an idea.

She lifted her foot and walked out.

Seeing that Shen Danru hadn't even started cooking before running out, Liu Cuihua wondered if the girl was just shy and couldn't cook, and was having second thoughts about it.

On second thought, Chef Liu bullied the young girl and forced her to sign a contract; that really was a bit of an abuse.

She grabbed Shen Danru and advised, "Little sister, where are you going? Don't worry, I'll help you."

"Thank you, Sister Cuihua. Don't worry, I won't run away. I'm just going to get something and I'll be right back."

Liu Yishou just smiled dismissively.

This little girl ran away as soon as she made the first dish. What's the point of comparing?

However, Chef Liu was already kneading the dough, and since he hadn't given the order, the other kitchen helpers didn't dare to stop.

A moment later, Shen Danru ran in, carrying the pan for making jianbing guozi and the ingredients she was using.

She got to work, using various whole grain flours and pancake seasonings purchased from the system to prepare the batter, letting it rest before frying the crispy pancakes.

"Master, look what she's doing. It looks like she's frying dough pieces. She probably doesn't even know what 'biluo' is."

Liu Yishou didn't stop what he was doing, he just smiled contemptuously.

Seeing Shen Danru turn the pan and start making pancakes, everyone in the kitchen looked over curiously.

You can make pancakes like this, and so quickly?

Shen Danru cracked two eggs onto the pancake, flipped it over, spread sauce on it in one smooth motion, added crispy crackers, fried ham, and stir-fried mushrooms, and a jianbing guozi was ready.

The pancake wasn't made this big, but it was slightly larger than a glutinous rice ball.

Seeing that Shen Danru was making one at a time, and then another, in no time, dozens of jianbing guozi were ready.

Looking at Liu Yishou's side, even with several helpers working together, they couldn't do as fast as Chen Danru alone.

Duan Dong snorted: "What's the use of doing it so fast? We don't even know if what we're making is just a bunch of nonsense."

There are very few people in the entire Great Shun Dynasty who know how to make this kind of food.

This little girl is doomed to lose.

When the people of the Jiang family heard that Chef Liu and Miss Shen were having a cooking competition, and that everyone in the household had been invited to be the judges for their dishes, they all became very interested.

Some people even started a betting scheme.

"If you ask me, Chef Liu is the best cook. How old is Miss Chen? Let alone cooking, how many dishes has she even tasted? Besides, can she even handle a big wok?"

"That's right. Although the dishes she made last time satisfied the old lady, it was just because the old lady was tired of Chef Liu's cooking and wanted a change of pace."

"That's right. Anyway, I don't trust Miss Shen. Let alone be able to beat Chef Liu, I'm not even sure if she can eat it."

...

Jiang Shuyou had just returned after drafting the letter when he overheard their conversation.

Seeing that his master's expression was not good, Fu Liu stepped forward and said:

"Have you ever eaten Miss Shen's cooking? You're just spouting nonsense here. The braised meat that the manor buys every day is made by Miss Shen. If you think Miss Shen's cooking is inedible, you don't have to eat it. When you buy it, don't rush to buy it."

Upon hearing this, the group was quite surprised to learn that the braised meat was made by Miss Shen.

I never expected Miss Shen to be so talented at cooking.

If that's the case, Miss Shen still has a chance to beat Chef Liu.

The group still gave Fu Liu face, after all, he was one of the old man's men, and quickly stepped forward to explain:

"Manager Fu, we were just talking nonsense. Please just ignore us."

Despite saying that, they still didn't believe that Miss Shen could beat Chef Liu.

After all, Chef Liu's master was an imperial chef who came from the palace.

"You guys be careful, the old man is over there."

Fu Liu reminded him.

Only then did the servants notice Jiang Shuyou's figure, and they were all startled.

If the old man had heard what they just said, they would have been skinned alive.

Everyone in this mansion knows that Miss Shen is the master's beloved.

Jiang Shuyou stepped forward and asked, "How was the bet made?"

A servant said tremblingly, "One to ten."

"Who is one, and who is ten?"

"Chef Liu pays 1 to 10, while Miss Shen pays 1 to 10. Conversely, if they win, Miss Shen wins 1 to 10, and Chef Liu wins 1 to 10."

The servant who initiated the betting game, named Xiao Anzi, was already drenched in sweat from fright.

Oh no, I've been caught by the old man this time.

Fu Liu: These people are really stupid. So they don't believe Miss Shen will win.

"Fu Liu, take one hundred taels and bet on Miss Chen to win."

Everyone was stunned and extremely surprised. Instead of punishing them, the old man joined in their antics.

Is this still a grandfather?

At this time, the news of the cooking competition also reached the ears of Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Jingxian.

Madam Jiang was a little worried: "Chef Liu has gone too far. How can he so blatantly bully a young girl? Doesn't he have any shame?"

"No, Green Willow, hurry to the kitchen and stop them from making a scene. That child is shy. What if she loses and really refuses to come to the manor?"

Jiang Jingxian: "Grandmother, don't worry. Sister Ru's cooking is the best I've ever tasted in the world. She'll definitely win. Chef Liu will be crying later."

Despite hearing her granddaughter's explanation, Madam Jiang was still uneasy.

"Let's go to the kitchen."

"Have everyone wait in the kitchen. We can taste the dishes as they are prepared, so the people in the kitchen won't dare to play any tricks."

There are forty-two people in the Jiang family, eight in the kitchen, and the remaining thirty-four are all judges.

Of these thirty-four people, three were masters, twenty were guards, and the rest were servants, maids, and old women. They all gathered at the entrance of the kitchen.

Jiang Shuyou instructed people to set up several tables and chairs at the entrance of the kitchen. Just as he helped Old Madam Jiang sit down, he heard arguing coming from inside the kitchen.

"You cheated; what you made wasn't even a proper 'heavenly flower cake'."
