Zhang Yanqing brought the porridge upstairs, but was kicked out by Tang Shen before he even saw Tang Siwan.

Tang Shen is now unwilling to give Zhang Yanqing any chance to contact Tang Siwan and Qin Zijin, for fear that this woman will do something bad.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Even if she really wants to do something, she can't do it. I'm watching her." Qin Zijin looked at Tang Can's nervous expression with helplessness.

Tang Shen was very serious. "We have to be careful. She's still sick. What if she infects the child? Wanwan is so young, and children have much weaker immune systems. It's easy for her to get infected. I'm a little scared when I think about her being held by that woman."

"Then don't you worry about Mengmeng and Xuanxuan?" Qin Zijin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"They are both smart, vigilant, and not easy to get close to outsiders. I am not worried about them." Tang Shen smiled when he heard this.

Qin Zijin was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The smell of the delicious shrimp porridge immediately made my appetite whetted.

After Tang Siwan was born, she basically drank milk powder and didn't drink much breast milk. After a few days, her milk had dried up long ago. Now she can eat and drink whatever she wants and there is nothing to avoid.

Du Can’s cooking skills are indeed not bad. He can make a very ordinary shrimp porridge taste a bit more delicious.

The shrimps are all fresh live shrimps with firm and delicious meat. They are about the same size and look particularly beautiful when they are bright red after being cooked.

The fish is black fish fillet, each piece is cut into the same thickness, cooked immediately after boiling, and is extremely tender and almost melts in the mouth.

Cooking skills, ingredients, knife skills, and heat are all essential. Even if different people use the same ingredients, the food they cook will taste different.

Qin Zijin finished the entire small pot of porridge.

"Du Can's cooking skills are getting better and better. It seems that he hasn't slacked off in his studies recently." Qin Zijin put down the bowl in his hand and couldn't help but praise him.

"I heard that there seems to be a cooking competition recently. I heard that several restaurants in Huicheng have participated in it. It seems to be quite large-scale. Do you think we should go and join in the fun?" When Tang Shen heard Qin Zijin's words, he remembered something.

Cooking competitions would also be broadcast on TV. At that time, there was no concept of live broadcast, but such competitions were relatively rare.

Moreover, not many people actually watch cooking competitions, after all, they are relatively unpopular. On the contrary, beauty pageants may attract more people.

But within the industry, this kind of competition is very valuable.

Moreover, Tang Shen heard that this event is held once every ten years, and countless restaurants across the country will send people to participate. The winner will be able to join the list of state banquet chefs and have the opportunity to become the head chef of the state banquet.

"Cooking competition?" Qin Zijin was a little surprised, then thought of what He Tian had said before.

Du Can was once a state banquet chef, but was later framed and expelled from the company, and he never recovered from the blow.

This cooking competition should be a good opportunity for Du Can to make a comeback.

She touched her chin, thinking about something, but did not make a decision immediately.

After all, she didn't know Du Can's own thoughts yet, so she couldn't force him to participate.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and Du Can's voice rang out, "Boss, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come in?"

"Come in." Qin Zijin came back to his senses and shouted at the door.

The door opened and Du Can walked in.

Du Can was not too old. After cleaning himself up, he looked very energetic and alert. People would believe him if he said he was only in his early thirties.

When he walked in, he looked at Qin Zijin with some hesitation, but finally said, "Boss, there's a cooking competition coming up soon, and I want to represent our restaurant. I wonder if you agree or not."

"I agree. Tell me what you need and I will fully cooperate. By the way, I have a recipe here. You can take it back and study it. You must win the championship." Qin Zijin nodded immediately.

This is a great opportunity to help Du Can regain the glory that belongs to him!

Now Du Can is hers, and anyone who bullies her will have a hard time with her. She really wants to meet the person who framed Du Can and made him so miserable.

"I will definitely work hard." Du Can also felt full of confidence.

Now he has not only recovered his past strength, but also improved a lot thanks to Qin Zijin's advice. He has absolute confidence that he can win the championship and avenge his previous shame.

Qin Zijin asked Tang Can to get something from the cabinet.

Tang Shen was a little confused at first, but when he opened the cabinet, he found an ancient book inside with two powerful words written on it: recipe.

He picked it up and turned to look at Qin Zijin.

Qin Zijin grinned brightly.

This was what she had just exchanged from the system and put into the cabinet.

This recipe encompasses 5,000 years of Chinese food culture, including dishes that have been improved to a more perfect taste after being refined in later generations, as well as some cooking tips related to Qin Zijin's god-level cooking skills specially written.

It should be very useful for Du Can.

"Take it and take a good look at it. It should be helpful to you. If you are busy recently, you don't have to go to the store. I think Mr. He should be able to handle it alone." Qin Zijin sold He Tian without hesitation.

Poor He Tian didn't know that he would soon be treated like a slave.

Because the business in the store was already good, the two chefs were already very busy, and now there is only one left. You can imagine how tired he must be.

Du Can nodded gratefully, took the recipe handed to him by Tang Shen, and didn't take it too seriously.

After talking to Qin Zijin for a few words, Du Can said goodbye and left.

Qin Zijin touched his chin, then asked Tang Shen, "Have you ever asked about that state banquet chef?"

"I heard that some culinary masters in the country who have superb cooking skills are eligible to attend the state banquet after a series of selections. It's actually just a title. For a chef, it should also be a special honor." Tang Shen replied with a smile.

"Oh, so, then go back and ask someone to find out who framed Du Can back then. I want to meet this person." Qin Zijin suddenly became excited.

Tang Shen poured a basin of cold water over her, "No, your first priority now is to take good care of yourself after the baby is born. You don't have to worry about anything else!"

"Tang Shen..." Qin Zijin pouted and looked at Tang Shen aggrievedly.

Tang Shen met her gaze and almost broke down, but he still held on to his bottom line, "After you're out of confinement, I won't care what you want to do, but not now."
