The restaurant paid the salary for the first time, which made the workers very happy.

Aunt Zhou bought shampoo that she couldn't afford for a long time and even made a new handkerchief.

Wang Wu's wife, she and her husband had no burden. They simply bought two catties of pork, used the shared kitchen of their house, and made two bowls of fragrant steamed pork. Wang Wu and his wife had a full meal.

Her sister-in-law used to do the same and sometimes deliberately show it off in front of her.

But it was okay now that her husband was capable and she could earn money herself, now she has more confidence than anyone else!

And both successes were spread in the West district.

After all, the area in the West district was not big, so the news would spread fast.

This time was no exception.

Whoever heard about this was drooling with envy.

'Look at Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife. The Boss treats them well and the salaries were also big.'

'It would be great if they could work under Su Tang.'

Of course, everyone was just envious in their hearts and not really taking action.

The Su Tang that people were talking about was currently preparing for the God of Cooking Competition. Su Tang asked Jing Shui Pavilion to keep a live mandarin fish for her.

She brought other ingredients by herself.

The usual white vinegar, white sugar, ginger, and garlic were a must.

There was also a small jar with a sweet and sour sauce that she made.

It was a pity that tomatoes haven't spread to Cang Qin yet, otherwise, it would be great to make a tomato sauce.

Finally, there were fresh green beans and soybeans.

Taking these things, it was made clear that she was going to cook a modern dish.

Squirrel mandarin fish conquered the bud taste of many people in another era.

Su Tang felt that it would definitely be the same in this era.

This dish was suitable for any age and has a rich taste, everyone would like it.

Su Tang was already thinking about this dish when she was eating at Jing Shui Pavilion! This would be just in time to make it.

At this time, there was bustling activity in front of the God of Cooking Competition.

Su Tang looked at the platform that was surrounded by three lines of people and thought she had come to the wrong place.

Although there were many audiences in the past but still not as many as right now.

"Miss Su, here! " The young man from Jing Shui Pavilion beckoned. He had prepared live mandarin fish in his hand and the two fishes were still spinning in the bucket.

Su Tang came over, "Thank you." As she said, she tried to get the bucket.

However, she couldn't carry it.

It was too heavy!

Jing Liang, who was next to her, smiled, "This is a special bucket made by Jing Shui Pavilion, which helps to keep live fish alive longer, so it is very heavy. Let me help you carry it in. "

With that said, Jing Liang took the bucket.

Su Tang thanked him, and then asked, "Why are there so many people on the platform? Are these people preparing to watch the competition?"

It seems that there were several times more people watching than last time!

Jing Liang nodded, "Do you know why? "

Jing Liang wanted to tell her but then Zhu Jin Yuan and Huang Yue Tong came over and he stopped speaking.

"It's all because of you, Tang Tang! These are all loyal lovers of steamed acacia flowers! They all want to see if there is anything else they can learn in this competition! "

Of course, these were all excuses.

Everyone actually just wants to watch the excitement. Steamed acacia swept the entire capital a while ago. Even now, there were people who were greedy for that mouthful of Acacia.

Everyone knows how delicious it was.

Since this dish came from the God of Cooking competition, everyone's attention would naturally turn to it.

Today happened to be a holiday and many officials brought their families to watch.

They want to be the first ones to know about popular things.

Su Tang couldn't believe it, but when she walked inside, what the people were talking about reached her ears.

"I heard that you can meet the chef who makes steamed acacia. "

"That's why I came here! "

"I heard that she is very young? Seems to be a young woman?"

"Huh? I heard that he is an old man with gray hair. "

"Some people say that he is very tall. "

"No matter what, we can see it in a while anyway, the dishes she cooks must be different! "

"I just came for steamed acacia. Anyway, I heard that the dishes she cooks are simple; I also learned how to make green onions mixed with tofu, and vegetable congee! "

"Yes, those little tricks are really easy to use. "

"Huh? Are these all made by the same person?"

"Yes, it's all the same person, so many people are not convinced and think she only uses petty tricks."

Hearing these words, Su Tang suddenly felt a little guilty, no wonder Hao Quan Kun had such a big opinion of her!

It turned out that everyone thought so, and felt that she was winning by cheating.

It was too difficult.

She obviously conquered the judges' taste buds!

Huang Yue Tong comforted her, "Don't worry, we all know your strength. Besides, it's amazing to be able to make ordinary dishes delicious. "

Huang Yue Tong actually thought that Su Tang could only make those simple dishes, not complicated dishes. After all, Su Tang doesn't use fish or meat in her cooking

She must have had another good plan.

And Jing Liang laughed, if Su Tang couldn't make a grandiose dish then no one really could do it.

When Su Tang asked about a live fish in Jing Shui Pavilion, everyone in Jing Shui Pavilion was shocked. They immediately knew that Su Tang would definitely make a different fish cuisine!

Jing Shui Pavilion now has great admiration for Su Tang and all the crucian carp in their pavilion were sold out!

It was all because of Su Tang.

So Jin Shui Pavilion quickly picked two fat fish over for fear of delaying things.

Yes, because of the rules of the competition, they still have to cook two dishes.

People who have a relationship with insiders naturally understand that these dishes would be tasted by distinguished people. If they could be appreciated by distinguished people, whether they were private chefs or restaurant chefs, they would definitely be able to rise to the top.

This was also the reason why the contestants suddenly paid attention to this competition.

As long as the dishes that they made were delicious, this was a chance to change their life!

Su Tang didn't say anything, she just thought it was a bit funny.

Sure enough, people couldn't be lazy anymore. She was just lazy before and she didn't bother to cook grandiose dishes but she ended up giving the audience such a cliche impression.

No, no, no, in this way she would definitely be criticized when she takes over Ying Chun Pavilion. A good reputation was also very important to the chef!

Today was the fourth round of the competition. When the capital governor stood on the stage to support the competitors, his head was actually sweating a lot.

Couldn't dare to believe that the emperor was actually here?

Moreover, last time the emperor secretly mixed in among the people to watch the excitement.

Who believes this kind of thing!

After the emperor was brought back to the palace by the Weiyuan Marquis, he immediately summoned Governor Pei.

Governor Pei originally thought that his own competition could attract Weiyuan Marquis Qi Tian Yun was already great but now it was amazing!

In the room behind this competition, there was Young General Shi, Weiyuan Marquis Qi Tian Yun, and the emperor sitting in the room behind this competition!

How could it not make Governor Pei tremble in fear?

If something goes wrong, it would turn into a big matter and cost him his head!

The emperor was coming but because the ministers were afraid and not letting the emperor go out so he sneaked out again. It would be better to send them directly backstage to the God of Cooking Competition, where they could wait to taste the dishes!

And the guards around here have been strengthened by a lot!

More and more people were coming!

During the two rounds, Governor Pei was already wondering what the hell he was doing running around an unusual competition, ah!

But his gaze swept to Su Tang who was preparing below.

Never mind, this was also rewarding, after all this girl's home cooking was very good.

It was already the greatest gain for the Weiyuan Marquis to look more closely.

Even Governor Pei has his own view of Su Tang!

In the fourth round of the competition, there were a total of 50 participants.

The former wide space was more than half empty but it could also accommodate more audiences.

Now the stove was obviously newly built. It looks very neat and nice. Not only that, there were aprons of the same style on the table. When all 50 contestants wore them, they looked neat and in unison, which was very conspicuous.

In this way, it looks a lot more formal. Governor Pei was considering whether they should provide uniforms for the next round of competition. It would look more formal like that!

On the stage, Governor Pei said, "Today is the fourth round of the capital God of Cooking competition. There are 50 contestants on the scene. The dishes of the fourth round of the competition will be prepared by these contestants. Today, out of the 50 contestants, only 30 can advance to the fifth round. From the fifth round, the competition team will draw up the competition questions themselves!"

"There will be five groups and ten contestants in each group! Please get ready for the fourth round of the kitchen god competition!"

Governor Pei's words explained the process step by step.

Su Tang got it.

In the previous round, everyone could do whatever they want but it won't be that simple in the future.

They had to follow the assignments that the Governor had set.

This way the difficulty would increase to weed out who actually used tricks to advance.

Because of the same dish, people could see the chef's own skills and could learn if there was a slight disparity in taste.

If Su Tang was really like the rumor, that she could only cook ordinary dishes, even if she narrowly passes this round, she would be eliminated in the fifth round.

The Chefs around Su Tang obviously thought like this.

Even the young Emperor was a little worried.

They(Zhen) really don't want Su Tang to be eliminated. They want to see what new dishes she could make.

This would be able to narrow down where Su Tang occupies and for the crowd that was bound to be a loyal audience who have seen Su Tang in previous rounds.

Then the audience looked at Su Tang's hands, which only came pitifully with green beans and soybeans. Was she going to make bean rice?

Although everyone thought that Su Tang could certainly do something extraordinary, what if the competition team fixed that they must cook grandiose dishes from fish and meat in the future.

Su Tang was obviously incapable.

"Don't be pessimistic. In my opinion, Miss Su did a good job."

"Yes, it's simple and delicious. I like it!"

"Not too hard. Not too hard."

The other audiences were curious as to who the young chef was and why everyone gathered around and see if there was something lovely to see before the competition even started.

Many people with a gossipy nature ran to watch. They wanted to see what was happening and were full of excitement!

Su Tang saw that the people next to her were worried about her and comforted her, "It's okay. Have confidence and faith in yourself."

Su Tang smiled and saw Jing Liang hint the bucket to her.

There were two living fish swimming around inside.

What?

Was Su Tang going to cook fish?

But this was a fish given by others. Is this a sudden idea?

Su Tang knows what everyone was thinking but doesn't say anything, since the people who gather around since the beginning of the competition had confidence in her.

She won't let them down.

Su Tang with ease caught the live mandarin fish.

"Today, I'll make you a specialty dish, squirrel mandarin fish."

As soon as Su Tang faced the audience, she suddenly felt like she had been back in the live broadcasting room in her previous life. She had a proper and gentle smile on her face but still cleaned the scales neatly on her hands.

The scales came off fast in her hands.
