Imperial College Kindergarten

Liu Xueting had a gut feeling that Xie Yu's expulsion was related to the withdrawal of the engagement, so he did not continue to ask more questions. He just nodded clearly to express that he understood.

Liu Qingming also took advantage of this free time to send Xie Yu over and stopped by to see Liu Xueting. After achieving his goal, he saw that the sky was getting dark and he left quickly.

After Liu Qingming left, Li Si came to the door and said that he came to deliver something at the request of his young master.

"Send something?" Liu Xueting looked confused. Why did he suddenly send something?
She opened the food box handed over by Li Si and found a snack.

"Young master said, today's relocation is a little disturbing, and this is an apology." Li Si explained softly, although in his opinion, this reason was too far-fetched.

"Your young master is so polite." Liu Xueting put away his surprised expression. Xie Yu already gave him snacks, but since he was injured and moved, wouldn't she want to give him gifts even more?

At this time, Mianxia also took out a food box from the kitchen and asked Liu Xueting for instructions: "Girl, this is the chicken soup stewed by Aunt Ma."

Liu Xue stopped quickly and signaled to Mian Xia to hand the food box to Li Si: "Just in time, I have a bowl of hot soup here, take it to your young master to replenish his body."

Li Si took the food box, said goodbye and left.

Liu Xueting looked at the plate of snacks in front of him: "It looks pretty good. Let's share it together."

**
Three days later, the cooking competition between the Imperial College and Jiangzhou Academy officially began.

The competition was held in Nancheng Square, which also happened to be the booth of the Academic Exchange Conference from various countries.

At this time, there were kitchen utensils placed on the left and right sides of the exhibition stand, and even the stove was temporarily set up in two places.

The spectators all stood outside the marking line in an orderly manner, waiting for the competition to begin.

"Who do you think will win?"

"I guess he is the apprentice of Chef Zeng. Anyway, he is a royal chef after all, and the apprentice he taught must have two skills."

"I can't see it. Didn't it mean that the apprentice just became a disciple not long ago?"

"Yes, the students from Jiangzhou Academy have been studying for several years!"

"But cooking depends on your talent, right?"

"Who knows? We'll see when the food is ready."

"Everyone, please be quiet. Our cooking competition is about to begin. The rules of the competition will be read out below."

"During the competition, you are not allowed to intentionally harm your opponent, you are not allowed to cheat, and you are not allowed to..."

Liu Qingming took this moment to introduce Liu Xueting: "The host on the stage is Ji Mingyu, the son of your director Ji Mingyu. Well, although he is familiar with the eldest brother, he and Xie Miao - Xie Yu's younger brother. Often get together."

Liu Xueting raised his eyes and saw Ji Mingyu's face clearly, and secretly thought that none of the friends around his elder brother were ugly.

"By the way, brother, where is Sister-in-law Jiujiu?" In the past few days since returning to the capital, I haven't seen Mu Jiujiu yet!
Liu Qingming was also helpless: "She is busier than me now. She was so busy that when I asked the official media to come to propose marriage, she was not here and went to Jiangzhou again."

"It's better to be busy, career is the best aphrodisiac for women." Liu Xueting said smoothly, but forgot that this was in ancient times.

Liu Qingming hurriedly tapped Liu Xueting's head with his fingers: "How can a girl put aphrodisiacs on her lips?"

Liu Xueting covered her forehead, but there was a sense of familiarity in her heart. Her master liked to do this very much. Even the movements were exactly the same. Could it be that the master was really related to her eldest brother?

"Tong, do you think my eldest brother is the master's previous life? In fact, this is also my previous life?" Otherwise, how could it be so similar?
303 said: "Host, is this important?"

That's right, Liu Xueting suddenly came over, anyway, her eldest brother is by her side now! "The competition is divided into three dishes. The first dish is decided by both parties in the competition. Just make the best dish. For the second dish, one will be randomly selected by the Imperial Academy to offer wine. Finally, a spectator will be selected, and the spectator will decide the dish. Three courses!”

"The judges are composed of [-] shopkeepers and chefs from major restaurants in the capital. They all wait in the teahouse next to them and do not participate in watching the cooking process to ensure the fairness of voting."

Liu Xueting glanced at the teahouse pointed by Ji Mingyu. He had never noticed before that the location of Qingfeng Tea House was so good.

"The competition for the first dish will begin next. Are you two ready?"

Ma Chao and Cheng Dong both nodded.

As the bell rang, the competition began.

"This is a competition for the best. What kind of dishes can you cook?"

"Hey, look! They actually got the same ingredient!"

Someone with a keen eye saw the ingredients the two of them had picked up and guessed, "Are they all going to make Lianfang fish buns?"

"Renbo Fish Bun? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"It seems like I've seen it decades ago."

"Decades are too exaggerated!"

"Ah, I remembered. Decades ago, I watched a competition between Chef Zeng and someone. At that time, Chef Zeng made this Lotus Fish Bun!"

"Brother, tell me quickly?"

"Just choose fresh and tender lotus cells, cut off the bottom, remove the inner flesh, leaving even holes, then marinate the mandarin fish with sauce, spices and wine and stuff it inside the lotus cells, then cover the bottom and steam it. . Coat the outside of the lotus pods with honey, and after putting it on the plate, use the soup made from lotus seeds, chrysanthemums, and water chestnuts to dip it in and eat it. "

"Oh, you are so particular!"

"From what my brother said, we competed decades ago. Did Chef Zeng win?"

"Yes, as soon as Chef Zeng became famous, he went to the palace to serve as the royal chef."

"From this point of view, this Lianfang fish bun should be Chef Zeng's specialty, so how come Jiangzhou also makes this dish?"

When Ma Chaoshan heard everyone's comments, he sneered inwardly. One day, he would clear his master's name!
Cheng Dong initially didn't understand why the master wanted her to learn the lotus-shaped fish buns, but when she saw Ma Chao cooking the same dish as her, she frowned in thought, feeling that there was something she didn't know.

Zeng Guangxian was naturally watching the field. He sneered after seeing Ma Chao's actions. His junior brother is still unwilling to admit defeat after so many years?

"Tong, didn't Zeng Guangxian steal this dish from his junior brother?" Liu Xueting saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and couldn't help but despise Zeng Guangxian's behavior again.

"Yes, when Zeng Guangxian competed with his junior brother, they agreed that they would do the same thing for the first time, and then do what they are good at later. But when it came to the competition, Zeng Guangxian did not follow the agreement, and took the lead in making his own The next dish that my junior brother will cook, his junior brother accused Zeng Guangxian of stealing the recipe, but the judges who bought it in advance by Zeng Guangxian suppressed it, and even the capital city cannot stay."

Liu Xueting shook his head and sighed, that junior fellow apprentice was really stupid. It was clearly his own thing, but it became someone else's!

With this kind of character, she can still be an imperial cook, and now she is respected in the Imperial College, she bah!

"Don't you have a saying that history is written by the victors?"

Liu Xueting narrowed his eyes slightly: "Victor? I want him to accept the judgment of history!"

Thank you my dear friends~~
