Imperial College Kindergarten

Chapter 109 Jiangzhou Academy requests a challenge!

"Well, host, have you ever thought that what Wang Jingshu said is true?" 303 was silent for a while, but couldn't help but ask.

"How is it possible?" Liu Xueting denied it without thinking. Although she said this, several pictures inevitably appeared in her mind - when going to Quzhou, Xie Yu played the piano every night, and one day It even made Dr. Jiang jokingly ask him if he had a sweetheart; when the pursuers surrounded her, he protected her and her eldest brother, giving them a chance to escape; and the Water Lantern Festival in Nanzhou City, think carefully about that night. His expression is a bit forbearing...

Is it true?
"Tong...you also think Xie Yu likes me?" Liu Xueting shook her head. Maybe she was thinking too much?
"Isn't this quite obvious?" 303 suggested, "How about you spend money to buy news?"

Liu Xue stopped counting her current melon value, which was a bit low. She was reluctant to spend it all at once, and hurriedly refused: "Forget it, it's not necessary."

"Then you pretend not to know?" 303 was shocked, wasn't it, so calm?

"He didn't say it clearly, what if I'm too narcissistic?" Even so, she still had an inexplicable and complicated feeling in her heart.

Absolutely impossible - Well, there seems to be some signs - No way, is it really - What should I do? I feel a little happy suddenly - Is it too much to think about - I really have a vision - I am inexplicably happy - What if he expresses his feelings? How to refuse - that's Xie Yu - forget it, forget it!

303 felt Liu Xueting's strong inner fluctuations, adhering to the mentality of seeing through without telling the truth, so he didn't point it out and just let it happen.

At present, it seems that its host is determined to return to modern times. If this happens, he will be involved in a love debt...

After a little delay, when Liu Xueting arrived at the canteen, there were not many people in the canteen.

"Assistant Liu, are you back?" Cheng Dong was carrying a food box and was about to leave the canteen when he saw Liu Xueting walking in.

"Miss Cheng, yes, I came back yesterday." Seeing Cheng Dong's attitude, Liu Xueting asked casually, "Where are you going?"

Unexpectedly, the tips of Cheng Dong's ears turned red at that moment. She lowered her head shyly and whispered: "I... have to go out for something."

Liu Xueting raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cheng Dong's figure who seemed to be running away. Is this a situational rhythm?
When she came to the window, she happened to hear Chef Zeng muttering, "Female graduates are not admitted," which confirmed her suspicion.

The kitchen assistant brought the lunch plate, and Liu Xueting took it while thanking him. He had a little appetite due to the hot weather and the meal was over, but he smiled knowingly when he lowered his head and saw the dishes.

At the same time, the assistant chef introduced today's dishes: "The weather is really hot today, so I made cold sophora leaves and two side dishes."

Liu Xueting couldn't wait to pick up the dinner plate, chose a seat and sat down to eat.

When Liu Xueting finished eating half of the cold noodles, he looked up and saw that Cheng Dong had returned and was sitting opposite her, looking over with a smile.

"The locust leaves are very fresh. After they are blanched, they are ground into green juice. The juice is used to knead the noodles, and then seasoned with soy sauce and vinegar. It is perfect to eat in summer."

Liu Xue couldn't stop nodding. The color looked green and lovely, as if it could dispel the sultry weather at once.

"Assistant Professor Liu will try the fresh food from the forest again. The bamboo forest in the backyard of the Imperial College has bamboo shoots. My master took us to chop fresh bamboo shoots, sweep the leaves on the spot and make a fire to simmer them."

"There is also this Duanmu Jian. After blanching gardenia flowers and drying them, they use licorice water and thin batter, wrap them in the gardenia flowers, and finally fry them in oil. Director Ji ate them and praised them for their elegance. Woolen cloth!"

Liu Xueting tasted them all. Indeed, the simmered bamboo shoots were delicious, the fried Duanmu was fragrant, and eating them cold with locust leaves was really appetizing.

When Liu Xueting had finished eating, he still burped uncontrollably. At this time, an assistant suddenly rushed in from outside the cafeteria. He shouted anxiously: "Chef Zeng, Jiangzhou is coming outside." The delegation from the academy is clamoring outside to challenge the chef of our Imperial College!"

Chef Zeng looked over in surprise: "Really?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Chef Zeng frowned. It was strange. There was no competition in cooking this year!
Cheng Dong also hurriedly approached Chef Zeng and asked worriedly: "Master?"

"It's okay. Since someone asked to challenge the chef, we'll go out and have a look." Although he felt baffled, Chef Zeng was really not afraid and led his apprentice and several assistant chefs out.

How could Liu Xueting miss such a new melon? He hurriedly cleared the plates and hurried to follow.

At this time, a circle of people watching the excitement had gathered outside the gate of the Imperial College.

The person who arrived late was not sure what was going on, so he asked the people around him: "Hey, brother, what are you doing?" "No, the person standing in front of the main entrance of the Imperial College now is the delegation from Jiangzhou Academy. They said they wanted to challenge some chef.”

"Oh, chef...wait?"

"Challenge the chef? Really?"

"Yeah, why did I lie to you?"

"Could this Jiangzhou Academy be a culinary academy?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the people from Jiangzhou Academy hear you!"

"There must be a reason. It's a bit strange to challenge other chefs!"

"But I did hear that the food in the Imperial College is good!"

"Yes, yes, I was also lucky enough to eat a snack brought by a friend. It was very delicious!"

"Stop talking, look, the people from the Imperial College are coming out!"

When the master finally came out, the students of Jiangzhou Academy all stepped aside, revealing a man in the middle who was not wearing the academy's uniform.

The man took a few steps forward and gave a serious junior salute: "Ma Chao has met my uncle."

Upon hearing this title, Chef Zeng's expression changed sharply: "You are..."

Ma Chao nodded slightly, and then said with a sad face: "The master has passed away, and he told me to come to the capital to challenge the master's disciples, regardless of the stakes whether I win or lose."

Now, even Cheng Dong stared at Ma Chao curiously. He had never heard the master say that she had an uncle?

The past events came to mind, and Chef Zeng remained silent for a long time, finally turning into a deep sigh.

"Eh...why does he have to be so stubborn?"

Liu Xueting's eyes wandered among the people, and her intuition from years of eating melons told her that there was a story here!

Ma Chao disagreed and said: "Master is not stubborn. If you hadn't used insidious means, how could I have ended up in that situation?"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately started talking.

"What kind of underhanded tactics?"

"I don't know, just listen."

“Is it possible that Chef Zeng’s cooking skills are unreliable?”

"Hey, someone is here now!"

"Oh, does anyone know what happened back then?"

Chef Zeng was so excited by Ma Chao's words that he took a few steps back. He covered his chest and felt like he couldn't breathe: "That's what he told you!"
