Shu Jiaying was too lazy to argue with He Xinhui about her stubbornness. She just smiled as she watched the palace maid hand the food to He Xinhui.
Just like last time, He Xinhui picked up the fish meat and put it to the smelly tip to smell it. When the delicious smell entered her brain through her taste buds, she finally couldn't think anymore.
After putting the whole piece of fish into her mouth, He Xinhui suddenly stood up. With tears streaming down her face, she said with emotion, "I have never eaten food like this. Why does this piece of fish remind me of everything I have ever experienced? Woo... It's amazing. The taste of this fish is simply amazing, woo..."
The voice stopped abruptly because He Xinhui realized her loss of composure and sat back on the chair, forcing herself to regain a serious expression.
“Hmm…”
Clearing her throat again, He Xinhui pointed to the spicy fish hotpot Shu Jiaying had made. She pretended to be gracious and said, "Since I've already tried two of your dishes, why don't you give the third one a try as well? Go and help me pick up a piece, no... two pieces of fish so I can try them."
"Yes, Queen!"
This time, Shu Jiaying didn't need to take the initiative to invite her. He Xinhui ordered the palace maids around her to help her pick up the fish.
The maid had actually been secretly complaining in her heart for a long time, because she was closest to the food cooked by Shu Jiaying, so her sense of smell had already been dazzled by the tempting aroma. She was really worried that if she went to pick up the meat from the pot, she would drool and drip into the pot. That would be a capital crime!
Holding the plate, the palace maid walked to Shu Jiaying's table tremblingly, deliberately turned her head slightly to the side, and quickly picked up two pieces of fish and put them on the plate. Then she quickly ran to He Xinhui.
"Your Majesty, the fish is ready. Please enjoy it slowly."
"Um!"
This time He Xinhui did not smell the fish, because she found that every time she smelled the fish, her mood would be inexplicably surged. This time she picked up the fish and put it in her mouth.
"Oh my god, this smell..."
It’s so delicious that you can’t stop eating it!
He Xinhui could no longer restrain herself. She rushed to the spicy fish hotpot made by Shu Jiaying and started to eat big chunks of it. As she ate, she couldn't stop shouting, "Delicious... This tastes so good, so delicious..."
“…”
If Shu Jiaying hadn't seen that the spicy fish hotpot was almost finished, she would have had no choice but to stop He Xinhui.
"Your Majesty, if you like spicy fish hotpot, I'll make it for you next time. If you eat the whole pot of fish now, you won't be able to taste the other contestants' works one by one."
"If you don't want to taste it, then don't. All those contestants are making things I've eaten before. What's so rare about it..."
He Xinhui immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and her face flushed red. She glanced at the aggrieved expressions of all the female guests in the hall and thought to herself: Oh no... I messed up again this time!
Covering her face with a silk scarf, He Xinhui returned to her seat and announced, "Dear judges, you can now taste the food cooked by the contestants one by one."
Several royal chefs couldn't wait to try the fish cooked by Shu Jiaying. They tried sweet and sour spare ribs, chopped pepper fish head and spicy fish hotpot in that order. Eventually, they evolved from tasting to finishing all the soup base in the spicy fish hotpot. In the end, they drank up the entire pot of spicy fish hotpot soup base.
