The next day, the kitchen prepared breakfast early.
After everyone ate together.
Mr. Cen went ahead and went directly to the cooking competition site to make final preparations.
When the time was almost up, the two families went to the cooking competition venue together.
Before they even reached their destination, the two families were blocked by onlookers who were watching the excitement and could not move forward.
The cooking competition held in the capital is completely different from the one held in Fengle County.
Also on stage today are the kings, queens or envoys of various small Western countries.
So more and more people came to watch the fun.
Fortunately, the Yulin Guards are still responsible for maintaining order this time.
Ye Lao Si had been waiting at the intersection where Ye Lao Da and his family had to pass.
"Brother, here." When he saw Boss Ye and his family, he immediately waved and shouted.
Then he parted the crowd and walked towards them against the flow of people.
Fortunately, he was wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Guard, so the crowd was able to squeeze out a passage for him that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Ye Lao Si squeezed over and said, "Brother, follow me."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yingqi following behind Boss Ye.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Zhang?" Ye Laosi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Captain Zhang.
When they were in Tianjin, it was Captain Zhang who helped them recover the silver bills that were stolen and hidden by Guo.
When he saw Captain Zhang, Ye Laosi immediately remembered what happened at that time, and his face felt a little hot for a moment.
"Is this Old Four?" Zhang Yingqi was surprised to see Ye Old Four wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Guard. "Is he an official now? Congratulations!"
Ye Lao Si quickly said modestly, "Captain Zhang, you're too kind. I'm not an official, I just have a few brothers helping me."
"Let's go in first and talk in detail later when we have time." Ye Laosi felt that there were more and more people around him and he didn't bother to greet Zhang Yingqi.
He turned around and led the way, saying loudly as he walked, "Everyone make way, this is the chef participating in today's competition.
"Please make room for me so I can bring the person in.
“It’s no use trying to squeeze in.
"Even the chef can't get in, what are you guys trying to see if you squeeze in?"
Someone nearby continued, "Look at the foreigners!"
Everyone around laughed when they heard this, but they still tried to squeeze to the sides to make way for them.
The few people did not dare to delay and immediately followed Ye Laosi and walked quickly inside.
Zhang Yingqi even imitated Boss Ye and carried Hu Zi on his shoulders.
This is to prevent children who are too short from falling and being stepped on when following.
The number of onlookers continued to increase. The road that Ye Laosi had opened with great difficulty would soon close without a trace after the last person passed.
After the two families finally squeezed in, they were all sweating profusely.
Before Mrs. Ye could stand still and wipe her sweat, Miss Zhou came to greet her.
"Madam You, you're finally here." Madam Zhou took Mrs. Ye's hand and said, "Seeing that there are more and more people outside, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get in."
“Luckily my fourth child went over to pick it up, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to squeeze in.
"The roll call is about to begin over there, Madam You, hurry over there."
Miss Zhou had already lost in the previous competition, so she missed this round of competition.
However, she had a good attitude and knew that her level was not that good, so she quickly accepted this reality.
Now they are starting to support and cheer for Mrs. Ye.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Mrs. Ye said the next sentence to Boss Ye and Qingtian.
"Mom, you are the best!" Qingtian immediately encouraged his mother and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
"Wife, you are the best." Boss Ye said as he wanted to move forward.
Mrs. Ye was so scared that she pushed him away.
There were so many people watching around, and there were children too. If Boss Ye imitated Qingtian and kissed her on the face, it would be really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Boss Ye was not that unruly. He just saw that Mrs. Ye was too nervous, so he made a joke to help her relieve her emotions.
Everyone watched as Mrs. Ye came up to the stage. After confirming their names, they stepped forward to draw the dishes they would make today.
According to the rules, there are five alternative dishes today.
All contestants take turns to draw lots, and cook the dish they draw.
Mrs. Ye drew number three.
You need to walk down to the other side to see what the third dish is.
On the contrary, other people standing nearby could see it more clearly.
"I saw that the third dish is to make cherry meat."
Qingtian was sitting on Boss Ye’s shoulders, able to see the farthest and most clearly, and he quickly shouted out.
Boss Ye asked hurriedly, "Does your mother know how to make cherry meat?"
"Of course I can do it." Qingtian said confidently, "My great-grandfather taught me how to do this.
"Dad, you said it was delicious, but you forgot so quickly!"
"Really?" Boss Ye scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. "Dad's memory isn't as good as yours. I only remember whether the dishes we've eaten were delicious, but I can't really remember their names."
"Mrs. You's cherry meat is delicious. I've tried it myself. Don't worry, everyone. This match today is definitely a sure win!"
Mrs. Ye arrived relatively late, so Miss Zhou was so anxious just now, fearing that she would miss the time.
So after Mrs. Ye entered, there were not many people left behind her.
Soon everyone drew lots and entered the venue, standing behind their respective stoves.
When the competition time came, Mr. Cen stood on the stage, struck a gong, and raised a plate of incense.
"This plate of incense can burn for one hour. Once it burns out, please stop immediately. Otherwise, you will be treated as violating the rules.
“Of course, if you prepare your dishes in advance and are confident in your cooking, you are welcome to present your dishes in advance for everyone to judge and taste.
"During the cooking competition, please do not move around or talk to anyone on or off the field."
After Mr. Cen had explained everything that needed to be said, he ordered someone to light the sandalwood.
Everyone in the field immediately got busy.
Boss Ye and Qingtian naturally stared at Mrs. Ye's stove intently.
Especially Boss Ye, she did not forget to observe her surroundings, fearing that the people around her would mess up something and affect her.
Fortunately, there are basically no chefs who are so clumsy and unskilled when they can enter this stage.
All I saw on the field was kitchen knives flying around, and the sound of cutting vegetables was endless.
Zhang Yingqi stood aside, tiptoed and looked for a long time, but not only did he not find the chef of the small restaurant, even the waiter who had said he would bring the chef to participate in the competition was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that I was deceived by that boy?
Even though I am the head of the police in the county government, I am not an unreasonable person. Is it necessary for him to go to such great lengths to avoid me?
