The first competition was relatively easy for Mrs. Ye.
Especially this cherry meat dish, which was taught to her by Master Cen.
The finished products she had made before were also recognized by Mr. Cen.
So Mrs. Ye is still very confident about this dish.
If I hadn't known this long ago, the person who set the questions for this cooking competition wouldn't be Mr. Cen.
She almost suspected that the old man had let her go.
The incense sticks hanging on the table had just burned halfway when Mrs. Ye's cherry meat was out of the pot and placed in two plates as required.
She raised her hand to indicate that she was ready, and soon someone came up and put the two plates of cherry meat into different food boxes.
One copy was given to the judges on the stage for tasting, and the other was sent to the stands where the Western envoys were sitting.
Although she was quite confident in herself, at this point, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but get nervous.
His eyes kept glancing towards the Westerners.
I was especially worried that they might not be able to get used to Da Qi’s food.
I don’t know whether their opinions will affect the final result.
But it was obvious that Mrs. Ye's worries were unnecessary.
The cherry meat she made is a Jiangsu dish. It is bright red in color, sweet and sour in taste, and is just what Westerners like.
On the Western envoys' side, each person was given a small plate with only three or four pieces of cherry meat.
After everyone tasted it, it was quickly eaten up.
But the person who prepared the dish right after Mrs. Ye was not so lucky.
The dish he drew was squirrel fish.
The taste is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, and should be popular with Westerners.
But the bad thing is the styling.
Queen Beatrice even saw fish with heads on her table for the first time.
She kept waving her hands to indicate that she didn't want to eat this dish.
The chef, who was waiting for news downstairs with Mrs. Ye, looked pale and felt like he was about to faint at any moment.
Fortunately, the final judging power of the cooking competition was not in the hands of the Western envoys.
After the judges tasted everyone's dishes, someone quickly read out the names of those who passed.
After hearing her name, Mrs. Ye immediately felt relieved and turned to smile at her family members who were waiting for her.
The chef who made the squirrel mandarin fish soon heard his name and burst into tears of joy.
After the list was announced, everyone on the stage left.
The onlookers were discussing the situation of the competition and gradually dispersed to their homes.
Mrs. Ye came out to reunite with her family, and Qingtian immediately started clapping her hands.
"Mom, you are so awesome!"
Zhang Yingqi's family also expressed their congratulations.
Boss Ye also said: "Great, let's go have something delicious at noon to celebrate."
"Of course you can go eat the delicious food, but this is only the first competition, so there's no need to celebrate, right?"
"Why not?" Boss Ye said directly, "Look, Miss Zhou came all the way to see you, so of course we should celebrate together!"
After hearing what Boss Ye said, Mrs. Ye reacted instantly.
She took Miss Zhou's arm and said, "Indeed, you are free at noon, right? Let's go get something delicious together."
Ye Lao Da carried Qing Tian on his back as he walked out. When he passed by Ye Lao Si, he whispered, "Let's go to Qionghua Tower for dinner. Come find us when you're done!"
Brother Ma was standing behind Ye Laosi and heard everything.
Seeing Miss Zhou walking forward with Sister Ye's arm around her, Brother Ma reacted very quickly, gently pushing Ye Lao Si on the back and saying, "Zhong Hou, since this is such a big happy event at home, hurry up and go with your family!
"There's not much work left here. There's just some finishing work left. I'll just watch my brothers finish it."
Brother Ma suddenly addressed Ye Lao Si as Zhong Hou, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
But he still turned around, clasped his fists to Ma Ge and several brothers, and quickly caught up with his family.
After discovering that Ye Laosi had also followed, the blush on Miss Zhou's face never disappeared.
Especially since her mother had just recently revealed to her that someone wanted to matchmake for her. The person worked in the Yulin Guard and had a high rank.
My parents are quite satisfied with this, but they still need to learn more about it.
When she heard that it was the Yulin Guard, Miss Zhou immediately thought of Ye Laosi and felt happy.
So when I saw Ye Laosi again today, I couldn't help but feel more shy than before.
Qionghualou is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing.
If someone were to rank the restaurants in Beijing, Qionghualou would definitely be among the top ten.
The original chef of Qionghua Tower was an old friend of Mr. Cen. Now that he is old, he has handed over the cooking to his disciples.
Normally, Boss Ye and his family are reluctant to come here for dinner.
Today's main purpose is to entertain Zhang Yingqi's family, so Boss Ye asked someone to book a private room early in the morning.
A group of people walked into the store talking and laughing.
They had no idea that a man had followed them all the way from the cooking competition and finally had to stop at the entrance of Qionghua Building.
But he was unwilling to leave just like that, so he simply squatted on the side of the road and waited for them to come out.
Boss Ye had no idea what was happening outside the door. He was busy asking everyone to sit down.
He was very thoughtful and booked a suite.
There are tables and chairs in the inner and outer rooms, separated by a treasure pavilion in the middle.
The women and children naturally sat in the inner room, while Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si accompanied Zhang Yingqi in the outer room.
This way everyone can keep their distance and don't have to sit at the same table.
But you can still see the other person's situation and chatting will not be affected.
Two children can also run around and play freely.
The food at Qionghualou really lived up to its reputation. Even Ye Lao Da and Qingtian, who were used to Mrs. Ye's cooking, praised it highly.
Mrs. Ye and Miss Zhou even started discussing the cooking methods of the dishes right at the table.
Although Ye Lao Si didn't get to talk to Miss Zhou, he was already very satisfied when he could see her as soon as he looked up and hear her voice talking to Mrs. Ye.
Ye Laoda took the opportunity to say, "Fourth Brother, see, Miss Zhou gets along so well with your eldest sister-in-law, she will definitely get along well with mother and your second and third sisters-in-law.
"Why don't you work harder and marry her off quickly? You won't have to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or sisters-in-law. How wonderful it would be!"
Ye Lao Si felt embarrassed by what he said, scratching his head and saying, "My cousin's wife said that she has already contacted the Zhou family.
"But there's no rush on this matter. We still have to see what the parents think."
"Don't worry, a family that allows Miss Zhou to learn cooking and participate in cooking competitions will probably also listen to their children's opinions on matters of marriage."
Zhang Yingqi was listening at the side, and then he realized and asked, "Wait a minute, Lao Si, don't you have a wife?"
