Chapter 116 Competition
I don’t know how the cooking skills competition will be. Are we going to have a cooking competition together tomorrow?
Bai Mengmeng returned to the hotel and opened the forum to study the list of contestants for tomorrow.
However, for this cooking competition, there are only three contestants on the list, including Bai Mengmeng.
In addition to her, there is another cultivator from Wanhua Valley named Hua Yuqing, but he is a medicine cultivator.
Another sword cultivator was from the Mad Blade Sect, his name was Shan Baogang.
Bai Mengmeng immediately became puzzled. Perhaps this Medicine Cultivator was making medicinal dishes, but this Sword Cultivator, hadn't he awakened an offensive talent? Why was he joining this support-oriented competition?
Especially in the text message, it was clearly stated that I needed to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's competition myself.
Bringing your own ingredients doesn't mean you can cook whatever you want tomorrow. It doesn't seem formal at all...
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Mengmeng still couldn't figure it out. She simply didn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, the purpose of participating in the competition was to solve Liangcha's physical problems.
Now that Liangcha has won the first place, they will definitely be able to enter Gaizishan, so they can compete boldly without worrying about it, even if they lose it doesn’t matter.
Putting the phone on the table, Bai Mengmeng threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.
…
The next day, in the kitchen of the e-sports stadium.
Bai Mengmeng came to participate in the competition with a big sack in her hand, feeling nervous.
The sack was filled with cabbages and radishes, which she had specially put in the car and brought over.
Because she worked here before, she originally wanted to bring some local specialties to give to her colleagues and friends here.
There are two full sacks of vegetables, so it won’t matter if I bring some to the competition now.
What's more, the vegetables she grew were very delicious and of much higher quality than those on the market. Bai Mengmeng felt that it was a foresight for her to bring the vegetables here.
When I came to the kitchen, it was quite small, with only three stoves in total, and the overall space was not large at all.
There was no arrangement at all. The organizer just put a table in the kitchen and placed a few benches under the table for the judges to sit on.
It was so crude, even rough, a world of difference from the previous two days, so you can imagine how rudimentary this competition was.
Although the time was almost up, the judges and even the contestants had not yet arrived and were still sitting down in an endless stream.
Bai Mengmeng also saw a few familiar faces, including Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, and the old security guard.
At first glance, it seems that no one has the temperament of a judge. Instead, they all seem to be pulled here just to make up the numbers.
The judges...could they be these staff members?
After a while, a middle-aged man in ancient costume came over, holding a white kitten in his arms.
"This is Mao Buqi, the head of the Beast Taming Sect and today's chief judge."
Xiaoliu stepped forward to introduce himself.
Bai Mengmeng quickly put down the ingredients and applauded with everyone.
Mao Buqi chuckled and nodded brightly, "I'm sorry I'm a little late. First of all, welcome everyone to the auxiliary department's cooking competition. We have quite a few contestants this year. I didn't expect there would be three of you. Did you bring your ingredients?"
Shan Baogang was a big, fat man who looked like a good cook rather than a sword cultivator. Upon hearing this, he took out a salmon, his face full of pride.
"Master Mao, I caught this salmon specially from Norway. It only lives in the cleanest and coldest waters. It's the best king-grade salmon on the market. It's especially precious, and the meat is rich and delicious!"
Mao Buqi's eyes lit up: "Very good, this fish looks delicious."
Then he looked at Hua Yuqing again.
The female medicine cultivator from Wanhua Valley, with a graceful figure and a face as beautiful as a flower, spoke slowly, "I brought a native pigeon from Yishan. The meat is delicious. When I boil it with astragalus and codonopsis, it will definitely nourish yin and yang. It will be a superb medicinal meal."
"Well, that's good. Your idea is very good." Mao Buqi was even happier.
Noticing that everyone was looking at her, Bai Mengmeng fiddled with it for a moment, her expression becoming somewhat awkward. She took out her own sack and pulled out some vegetables: "These are the cabbages and radishes I grew myself."
"Well, you brought some food... but it doesn't seem very good." The smile on Mao Buqi's face disappeared, and instead there was a bit more pity.
"ah?"
What does that mean? Why are radishes and cabbages not that good? Is this also discrimination?
It’s obvious that you have never eaten radishes and cabbages grown by yourself. After you taste them later, I guarantee you will know what the most delicious vegetables are. You will be slapped in the face then!
Mao Buqi and several other judges sat down before speaking:
"This competition officially begins!"
"I think you've all noticed that I have a kitten with me. This kitten is my spirit animal. It has always had a good appetite, but it's very picky."
"I don't know what happened to it some time ago, but it suddenly didn't like to eat and had no appetite all day long. So how to feed this kitten is the question I'm going to give you this time."
"Whoever you three make, if my natal spirit beast likes it, will be crowned the champion of this competition. Not only will they receive the prize, but I will also give them a treasure as a personal gift as a bonus for winning."
"Also, I'd like to remind you that my taste is no different from that of an ordinary person. You can just treat me as a human being. Don't worry about anything else when cooking. Feel free to indulge yourself."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shan Baogang became excited.
This question seemed to be tailor-made for him. After all, the spiritual beast was a cat, and he was holding salmon. Don’t cats love to eat fish?
Not to mention the quality of the salmon, even many gourmets can't stop eating it. No matter how picky the cat is, it will definitely fall in love with this delicious salmon!
Wouldn’t this championship be easy to win?
Hua Yuqing's face was full of confidence at this moment. The kitten didn't like to eat, so he could use his medicinal food to nourish it. This combination of Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus and pigeon could replenish Qi and strengthen the spleen, which would definitely make the kitten fall in love with it.
Besides, aren’t pigeons also birds? Kittens just love to eat cotton-padded jackets!
Only Bai Mengmeng was speechless at the scene. It seemed that cabbage and radish had no advantages...
If I had known earlier, I should have brought some meat.
But who could have imagined that this competition was actually just to please a kitten?
So this cooking competition is about cooking for a cat, not for humans?
Bai Mengmeng suddenly felt unsure.
God knows whether this cat likes to eat cabbage and radish...
