Marrying Mrs. Hou and making a living by relying on her circle of food friends

Chapter 62 Ingredients destroyed
But Jiang Yiming's expression became more and more ferocious after the servant left.

Looking at the recovered ingredients, Gu Yunyue was very happy. Unexpectedly, not only did he not spend a penny this time, but the annoying guy paid three times the money. It would be better to do this kind of good thing more often.

Now the hawker got three times the money, Gu Yunyue got the ingredients, Jiang Yiming got a lot of resentment, and everyone got something. Naturally, it was a happy ending for everyone, but let's not mention the matter of losing his wife and losing the army.

Some special ingredients that can be stored for a long time were handed over to the imperial kitchen for safekeeping, and the remaining common ingredients were bought on the day of the competition. After all, freshness should be the main thing.

On the eve of the competition, Gu Yunyue came to his kitchen table to make final inspections.

After just a few glances, she was shocked. The stove was in a mess, all the knives had curled blades, the clean water had been replaced with turbid water, and even the pot was leaking.

Gu Yunyue was trembling with anger, but something suddenly sounded and she walked quickly towards the imperial dining room.

When she was young, she walked out of the imperial dining room with a livid face.

Sure enough, the ingredients she put here were not spared.

Gu Yunyue looked at the situation in front of her, and all the bitterness and suffering of these days came to her head, and the sounds of others gloating about her misfortune could be heard in her ears.

"Chef Gu, you are not the most talented. I guess you can make dishes that will surprise us without any ingredients."

"No, who can be better than Chef Gu."

"..."

Those voices surrounded Gu Yunyue's head, giving her a splitting headache, but no one offered her a helping hand.

Gu Yunyue never thought that one day he would be in such a situation.

The pressure of the past few days and the malice from a strange place made her unable to hold on any longer, and her tears rolled down like free golden beads.

This situation silenced many people present.

After all, Gu Yunyue is Mrs. Hou, and they are just ordinary people. If they really offend someone, then they will not have a good life.

Those people all took a step back, and no one dared to speak again.

But Jiang Yiming is not afraid of this.

He sneered: "A woman is a woman after all. She will cry when she encounters the slightest trouble. How can such a person be a cook?"

"Mrs. Hou, if you can't afford to lose, you should go back and take charge of the central government. It's best to give birth to a young prince as soon as possible to consolidate your position. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will never have a good life in the future."

After he said that, he actually laughed twice.

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath, wondering how this Madam Hou would act.

What the man never expected was that Gu Yunyue's cold eyes glanced at everyone present, and then he turned and left without saying a word.

"This...is she giving up?"

"Maybe."

I don’t know who said this first, and the rest of the people began to think again.

If Gu Yunyue really has to give up, then there's no telling who this first-place title will go to.Thinking of this, they all started busy with their affairs, striving to win the first place.

Soon it was time for the competition. Due to the turmoil in the past few days, this competition had attracted the attention of many people. Even the dignitaries came, waiting to feast together.

Fang Sheng carefully counted the contestants, but did not see Gu Yunyue and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that it was time to start, he could only say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the time has come, but...Mrs. Hou hasn't come yet. Look at this..."

"Oh?" When the emperor heard what he said, he immediately looked around among the contestants, and sure enough, he did not see Gu Yunyue.

Since the last time he ate the food cooked by Yun Yue, he has been thinking about it. He was thinking about feasting again, but he didn't expect to see anyone.

He hesitated for a moment and looked inside the seats, but he didn't see Su Qilin.

Just when the emperor was about to ask questions, he finally saw Su Qilin entering the door: "Hou An, what are you and your wife doing? It's about to be done. Why hasn't Mrs. Hou arrived yet?"

"Back to Your Majesty, her ingredients were destroyed and she has gone to prepare them now. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, she will be here soon." Su Qilin quickly raised his hand.

Although it's not yet time to start the game, it won't be long.

He had no way of guaranteeing how long he could fight for people.

Jiang Yiming's face turned livid after hearing this. If it weren't for Gu Yunyue, he would definitely be the first place in this cooking competition. Therefore, he must not let Gu Yunyue prepare to rush over.

He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the purchase of ingredients was notified yesterday, but Mrs. Hou is only going to prepare it now. It is unfair to us contestants. Besides, everyone has come all the way here. Yes, how can you waste time for one person?"

After Su Qilin heard this, he immediately cast a disgusted look at this man.

"Your Majesty, there is another reason why she has a problem with the ingredients this time. I haven't had time to investigate yet. Besides, she has always been the favorite to win the championship. Please, Your Majesty, please wait a little longer." He could only continue to try to delay time for others.

Seeing that the two of them were holding different opinions, the emperor thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Hou is indeed a good talent, and everyone present also hopes to taste her dishes, but it is indeed a bit difficult to keep people waiting. It’s not fair... If that’s the case, then light a stick of incense. If she can’t arrive at the time of burning the incense, there’s nothing I can do.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Qilin looked shocked, but his palms were already sweating.

I was afraid that Gu Yunyue wouldn't be able to arrive in time.

Just when the stick of incense was about to burn out, Gu Yunyue still didn't show up, and Jiang Yiming had a winning expression on his face.

Fang Sheng was also looking forward to Gu Yunyue's craftsmanship, but the incense had already burned out.

When he turned around and was about to report to the emperor, Gu Yunyue suddenly appeared at the venue.

She and Guo'er were bundled up behind her. It didn't look like they were here to compete, but rather to escape.

Su Qilin also breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor winked at Fang Sheng, and a sharp voice rang out: "The game begins——"

Because all the cooks had already thought that it was impossible for Yunyue to come again, but they did not expect that they would still show up. Everyone took a breath of cold air. Looking at the calm look on Gu Yunyue's face, they all realized that, I was deceived.
