Although the voice was very low, Xia Zheng still heard it clearly.
Be a monk for a year? He absolutely refused!
Actually, after getting pregnant, it wasn’t necessary to be a monk for a year, but since Lin Yuan didn’t want to get pregnant yet, she had to use this excuse to trick Xia Zheng.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Shopkeeper Liu ca over sowhat puzzled and worried, saying: "Boss, Miss, I saw Bai Jing and Qin Shi outside."
Bai Jing and Qin Shi?
Since causing trouble at Dong Tian, Bai Jing’s days in the imperial kitchen had not been easy. It seed he wanted to use this opportunity to make a coback.
As for Qin Shi, did he also want to make a coback?
"They are just small fry, don’t worry, our Dong Tian will be the ultimate winner!"
Cheng Haoxuan was holding a small lobster in one hand to boost everyone’s morale; ever since he beca Lin Yuan’s disciple, he considered himself part of Dong Tian.
Although he said it like that, Lin Yuan still kept it in mind; she already knew Bai Jing’s background, but was still uneasy about Qin Shi.
The competition ti ca quickly, and when Lin Yuan and the others ca out, the old Emperor and so ministers from the imperial court had already arrived.
Apart from so ministers of Dayong, several representatives from Xiliang and Dongling also ca. These people would be the judges of this cooking competition.
Additionally, the imperial court had specially ordered the selection of thirty common people as judges from the folk, ten each from Dayong, Xiliang, and Dongling.
Seeing two familiar figures in the common judges’ area, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
Lao Fan was indeed a genuine foodie; how could such a grand occasion lack him?
However, his becoming a judge was clearly due to the old Emperor’s private leniency.
As for the other, it was much fairer, being Jin Tan, known as the Golden Tongue. Ever since the competition between Dong Tian and the Drunken Immortal Tower, Jin Tan’s fa had beco even more prominent.
Not only in Yecheng, but even so restaurants in other towns also invited him to judge dishes.
Jin Tan not only enjoyed various delicious foods daily, but was also hailed as a gourt by everyone, truly achieving both fa and fortune.
This ti’s competition, he naturally wouldn’t miss it, and among the ten judges of Dayong, he was obviously the leading one.
Today’s competition was simple; each participant had to make two delicacies in the shortest ti. The fastest and best would be the winner.
Since that young lady from Dongling didn’t co, today’s competition had no formidable opponents, and Xia Zheng had already investigated the background of the participants in advance, being very confident about Lin Yuan winning the top prize.
Actually, not only Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan, but the crowd watching also firmly believed that the winner of this competition would undoubtedly be Lin Yuan.
However, facts always exceeded expectations.
When everyone saw Qin Shizai’s skills, they were amazed. The usually silent and honest Qin Shizai in the imperial kitchen turned out to be a hidden master!
Bai Jing incredulously wiped his eyes; he ca to the competition today to make a coback.
As for Qin Shizai, he was coerced by him to join, because he knew he couldn’t possibly defeat Lin Yuan, so he found Qin Shizai, who was also in the imperial kitchen, to be his scapegoat.
But now it seed, the real scapegoat should be himself.
Just like the Imperial Chefs in the imperial kitchen, the dishes Qin Shizai made were beautiful, but not just beautiful; they also tasted good. Even without tasting the dishes, the aroma alone told you the flavors were absolutely extraordinary.
Lin Yuan, after all, had seen quite a bit of the world; after just one look at Qin Shizai’s knife and spatula movents, she knew that this old man wasn’t as simple as he seed.
The two dishes Qin Shizai made today, one was called Heroes’ Gathering; the dish used various broths to marinate different radishes, and once the radishes had absorbed the flavors, they were crafted into different shapes.
Although they were radishes, this dish was not simple; just making the radishes flavorful in a short ti wasn’t easy.
Moreover, Qin Shizai’s knife skills were truly exquisite; a small piece of carrot transford into a vividly lifelike little rabbit in just a few breaths in his hands, very delicate and cute.
Looking at this Heroes’ Gathering, Lin Yuan suddenly rembered a skit about a radish conference. Who would have thought that ordinary radishes could be made into such an imperial dish.
