《Little chef》62-Cooking duck meat is a difficult task
Advertisement
Su Tang and Qi Tian Yun were walking down the street, but they were quite noticeable.
After all, Qi Tian Yun is tall and handsome, and Su Tang is a West district celebrity.
However, given Su Tang's reputation in the West district, no one will dare to say anything stupid.
If someone makes her unhappy, she has the power to remove every one.
Miss Su Tang is also very nice.
She also introduced the cattle farmers to another one, and they heard that the output of cows, such as milk, from many farmers, has now increased.
This is all thanks to Su Tang.
Su Tang didn't give it much thought. She made every effort to keep her distance from Qi Tian Yun as she walked to uncle Song's grocery store.
It's best not to say too much!
When the two arrived at the grocery store, uncle Song brought the dried mushrooms and dried sea cucumbers that he had prepared a long time before, then said, "The prawns need to be fresh, so they will be delivered to the door of the God of Cooking competition tomorrow morning."
Su Tang nodded.
For the time being, she does not need these sea cucumbers. Jing Liang sent them before, but she hasn't used them yet. She just waited until tomorrow's competition to use them, so the timing is perfect.
These mushrooms will be soaked when she returns, and they will be ready to use the next day.
What about the prawns?
There would be no need to ask uncle Song if it weren't for her awkward relationship with Jing Liang right now.
Fortunately, Uncle Song is now doing well in business and can help her in finding various ingredients.
But as she walked back home, Qi Tian Yun suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask the man from Jing Shui Pavilion for help?"
Su Tang looked at him and said, "You don't need to look for him."
"Oh, I thought something had happened."
Qi Tian Yun stated.
Su Tang looked at Qi Tian Yun again subconsciously and saw that his eyes explained everything.
How can he possibly know everything?
"I really happened to bypass you just now," Qi Tian Yun said as he sent Su Tang back home. "I went on official business."???
So, every time he passes her, will he accompany her to buy mushrooms?
Su Tang has just discovered that Qi Tian Yun is no longer even attempting to conceal himself!
How could someone like him exist?
Su Tang's ears pricked up as she heard Qi Tian Yun say it again, "Are you sure you're not going to ask what my name is? Who am I?"
Su Tang shook her head at Qi Tian Yun, saying, "Don't want to ask, don't want to know!"
It's a lot better now.
And would be the same anyway.
Recognizing that he is the marquis, she must salute when she sees Qi Tian Yun. It's best if she pretends she doesn't know.
Su Tang was stunned for a long time when she discovered that Young Master Qi was the famous Weiyuan Marquis.
However, it is normal to think about it again.
People like him were out of the ordinary.
Even if Su Tang is aware of his identity, she does not wish to expose him. What a blessing it is for everyone to get along as a civilian!
When he saw her expression, Qi Tian Yun felt helpless.
He'd never seen anything like it before.
Others would obviously come to bow to him if they knew who he was.

Only Su Tang would refuse to acknowledge his identity as if he were some kind of beast.
Qi Tian Yun, on the other hand, didn't stay long because he had something important to do.
Su Tang obviously wanted to avoid him when he met him on the road just now.
It's natural to try to keep up in that case.
It's worth it just to be able to call her Tang Tang one more time.
As for Jing Liang.
Qi Tian Yun didn't need to be concerned; didn't he notice that Tang Tang was avoiding him as well?
Isn't this enough to explain why?
The officials around Qi Tian Yun were a little nervous as the corner of his mouth was curved. 'What made you smile, Marquis?'
'Did we do something wrong and make you unhappy?'
Su Tang prepared all of the ingredients and placed them in her ice container.
She can wait until the next day when she will compete, and Su Jin Hang will be with his sister as usual. He wants to support his older sister!
She has to admit that an ice container is a necessity; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make so many delicious things.
But when Su Tang first arrived in Cang Qin, she couldn't afford anything like this, and it was still considered a luxury item.
She can cook more delicacies now that she has money in her hand.
The start of the sixth round of the God of Cooking Competition has also spread to all corners of the capital.
Not to mention that after the God of Cooking competition, new dishes will appear, and they will be the type of new dishes that everyone is looking for.
And everyone has figured out who created the novel food made from unusual ingredients that have recently become popular.
Not to mention the Jing Shui and Zui Xiao Pavilions.
There's also a mysterious bakery in the East district now, with a mysterious name.
Meng Jing Pavilion, is that what it's called?
They had heard that the snacks here were one tael of silver each, and the smallest puffs were ten coins! For ten tiny pieces!
My God, this money will last the people of the West District for a long time.
Everyone's eyes are watering just thinking about it.
But craving it is pointless.
Guests who wish to enter the Meng Jing Pavilion must not only be wealthy but also famous.
Aside from aristocrats and royal relatives, no one else is permitted to enter.
They heard that the owner of the store's background is extremely deep and terrifying as hell.
Su Tang became emotional on the way to the God of Cooking Competition after hearing so much gossip.
It's not that she doesn't want everyone to eat dessert.
But cocoa, sugar, and milk are extremely expensive.
If sugar beets can be grown on a large scale, Cang Qin grows its own cocoa and raises more cows to make it affordable to ordinary people.
But she has no control over these.
And a thought flashed through her mind: maybe Qi Tian Yun can?
Does Qi Tian Yun appear to be working hard in this regard?
Su Tang took the basket containing the ingredients and immediately noticed Huang Yue Tong as he approached the door of the God of Cooking Competition.
Huang Yue Tong used to be a cheerful person, but she has a slight frown today.
When she saw Su Tang, she said with a sad face, "My father said that I must be in the top ten, or I will not be allowed to go out for half a year! Cut vegetables at home every day! "

There were a total of 20 competitors in today's competition, and only ten chefs were chosen. This time, the method of selection has not been announced, and no one knows how they would choose.
However, because the Governor places such a high value on this, the selection process will most likely be complicated.
"It's definitely possible for your family to learn from the origin," Su Tang reassured Huang Yue Tong. "These banquet dish requirements are also your family's specialty."
Huang Yue Tong: "As a result, my father issued a death warrant for me, and I had to win. My brother was also present today. It's very difficult."
She knew her family had a good relationship after listening to Huang Yue Tong.
But Huang Yue Tong's brother seems to be the imperial chef? She hasn't seen the Royal chef yet.
However, Huang Yue Tong's brother seems to have been the imperial chef. She hasn't yet met the Royal chef.
They were about to enter the competition venue when they were stopped and given a sealed basket with a seal on it to wrap all the ingredients they brought.
The seal-carrying guard stated, "The people around you are not allowed to know what ingredients you are bringing before the competition. The seal must be ripped at the start of the competition."
And why is that?
Su Tang and Huang Yue Tong couldn't figure it out, but they followed orders.
The two then walked together to the God of Cooking competition venue.
The newly built site astounded her right away.
Just take a look from afar.
People will notice that the floor tiles have been replaced, and the white floor tiles look comfortable.
There are a total of twenty tables. Each position has an oven, two stoves (large and small), and a marble worktop.
Even beneath the worktop is a simple ice room where competitors can store their ingredients.
Water tanks are located next to each table, and the bodyguard will quickly refill the tanks.
That's twenty perfect kitchens.
The tents on both sides are also more appropriate, and there is a large open space in front that is empty, allowing people to come in and watch.
It goes without saying that when the time comes, government officials will sit inside and watch the entire game.
The middle competition's position has also risen significantly.
They cook in the middle, and everyone can see them. They don't even need to squeeze forward.
Su Tang looked around at the scene, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Oh my goodness!
It's no longer even a competition scene!
It's a stage show!
But who on earth thought it would be a good idea to make the God of Cooking competition more entertaining?
It doesn't seem right to say that because the competition's professionalism remains.
However, it further broadens the influence.
More people will be interested in this competition.
Su Tang was right.
Lord Pei, the capital's governor, organized the God of Cooking Competition to please Qi Tian Yun, Marquis of Weiyuan.
If there is no coincidence, it is simply a selection of excellent chefs.
The people of the capital won't even care.
But he didn't expect the God of Cooking competition to become famous because of a steamed acacia flower.
The recent discovery surprised everyone even more.
There were more people who wanted to watch the competition! Even the Emperor was drawn in.
Lord Pei was taken aback by this, and he changed his ways, doing everything he could to improve the competition.
In fact, one person is responsible for the popularity of the God of Cooking Competition.
Su Tang is the name.
Su Tang's dishes are always out of the ordinary. Many people are adopting novel eating habits.
Even when someone asked her about her recipe, she explained it clearly.
He'd heard that many people are now making fragrant porridge at home, as they'd learned from the Su Tang.
The influence of the God of Cooking competition has grown even stronger, and Lord Pei must reconsider Su Tang.
However, the marquis ordered that no one bother her.
The marquis has spoken, and the crowd is naturally listening, but the heart has long remembered the name, Su Tang.
Initially, he thought that the God of Cooking competition was fine as it was.
However, in the sixth round of the competition, the marquis even personally oversaw the situation.
Consider the marquis's previous official duties.
Either in charge of the military camp or mobilize the treasury, since when he has to supervise a small culinary competition!
But the marquis is eating much better these days, and he's heard it's all thanks to Su Tang.
The Marquis's subordinates go to Su Tang's house almost every day to fetch meals, and all of this is known to Lord Pei.
He also believed that the marquis did this for Su Tang, which was why he was so invested in the matter.
The marquis has seemed to be still very pleased with this little chef.
Su Tang was also helpless when it came to Qi Tian Yun eating every day.
Can she do nothing after receiving someone's silver ticket and jade pendant?
The good news is that she only needs to make an extra copy for Qi Tian Yun when she cooks with her brother, so it's not too much work.
The Governor had no idea Su Tang, the reason for the God of Cooking competition's popularity, was standing on the stage at the time.
Many people were drawn to her when she arrived. Not only were her opponents staring at her, but so were many others in the audience.
Many people arrived early to see what Su Tang was cooking that day.
Will it be one-of-a-kind?
"What are you up to today, Su Tang?"
"You can't actually ask this, can you? They are going to compete."
"Fighting, Miss Su Tang. "
"We can't wait to see what you cook!"
"Why are the ingredients sealed up, no one knows what it is?"
Su Tang felt as if she was returning to the video constant stream as she listened to them.
But this is normal. Their modern chef competitions have a devoted fan base. There wasn't much entertainment in ancient times, so it was natural for everyone to be intrigued by the new dishes they created.
Su Tang replied with a smile, "You'll know in a while, anyway it'll smell good and you can't eat it."
???
Su Tang's words choked the audience on stage, but they were not angry; they simply found it interesting.
The other contestants tried to talk as they watched Su Tang interact with the people on stage, but they didn't expect the people on the sidelines to be so enthusiastic, and many complimentary words came out like no money.
Many experienced chefs blushed as a result of this.
People were overjoyed when they saw this!
They started teasing them right away.
At this point, the tents surrounding the platform were also packed with people who had obviously come to witness the excitement.
It's difficult for the capital to have such a vibrant scene to see; everyone wants to come over.
And who doesn't like eating novel food?
We won't be unable to converse with each other at the banquet in the future.
Su Tang had a nagging feeling that the competition this time was going to be very different.
Someone certainly has made it into a real event.
There are contestants, judges, viewers, and entertainment.
It's a visually interesting event.
They believe that when the cooking competition first began, no one expected it to be so large.
After half an hour, around 6:00 a.m. As soon as the gong rang on the field, the sound of discussion beneath the field faded away.
Everyone reacted that the sixth round of the God of Cooking competition is about to begin!
There are now 20 contestants on the field who stand out among the hundreds of chefs. Today, they will compete for two hours before selecting ten winners.
Everyone is familiar with the rules.
But what Governor Pei said next was quite different.
"There are ten judges in total at this time," Governor Pei declared loudly.
"Five of them are Ministry of Household Affairs, counselors. They are already waiting in the next wing at this time. During this time, they are not allowed to enter or leave the room and are not aware of what the contestants are cooking. The dishes were all placed on the table in front of them after they came out. They didn't know who made which dish, so they tasted the dishes made by the contestants and then chose the winners. The contestants have also written their names under the plates they used this time. They can only look at the names below after the results have been announced."
This technique has also been used.
To put it bluntly, the judges are not permitted to know which dish was prepared by which chef in order to reduce the possibility of cheating and to judge success or failure solely on the dish.
Furthermore, the judges turned out to be Ministry of Household Affairs counselors.
Could the Ministry of Household Affairs have also gotten involved in this competition?
Governor Pei went on to say, "The remaining five judges will be chosen by the people!"
What?!
The people who were about to eat melons and watch the entertainment were taken aback by Governor Pei's words.
How is this even possible?
Do they want ordinary people with high-ranking officials to serve as judges?
Is there anything like this in the world?
There was an immediate uproar on the field, and even the tents on both sides were agitated.
Everyone who comes to watch the competition must be interested in food.
Who doesn't want to taste food? After all, if they can be a judge on stage, they can certainly taste it!
Governor Pei heard the commotion below and directed someone to knock on the Gong several times to calm everyone down.
"So, before the competition begins, the people who want to be judges must go on stage and draw lots."
"You must also wait in the wing room. After all of the contestants have cooked their dishes, you can come out and select ten dishes with the Ministers of Household Affairs to advance them to the next round of the competition."
Everyone understood immediately after Governor Pei finished speaking.
The reason for this is that all of the contestants' baskets are sealed, and the ingredients are even stored in the small ice room, so no one knows what the contestants are bringing.
Su Tang's heart begins to sing praises listened to such a method.
Oh my goodness, it's becoming more and more entertaining!
It's no surprise that they still put seals on their ingredients.
Will they have to draw a blind box of ingredients for the next competition? That's more intriguing.
The people in front of the platform, as well as those in the tents on both sides, are eager to try. The timid may not dare to go up and draw lots, but the bold is always present.
Governor Pei continued to speak loudly: "People who want to be judges can come on stage during half-burning incense time." It was over after half of the incense had been burned. Everyone draws a lot in this box, and those who get the judge will be the first to follow the guards to the wing for tea!"
Wow.
Whether to go or not to go!
If they are chosen to be a judge, they will be unable to observe the competition process.
They can, however, eat delicious food and select their favorite dishes!
They were all tangled up!
Those who want to sign up must act quickly now that the stick incense has been lit, or it will be too late!
"I'm going to draw a lot." I've eaten all over the country, too, old man. "Why not go if there's such a good thing?"
"If the Governor says so, it shouldn't be a problem for us to go, and I'll go with you!"
"And me and me."
People rushed onto the stage, and it felt different when they stepped on stage. They had different points of view on the stage, and there were a lot of people watching them.
Oh, my goodness, it turned out to be the experience of being watched while cooking by everyone.
Not only did ordinary people in front of them make their way to the stage, but the families of many dignitaries in the tent also joined in on the fun.
There were more than 60 people on stage when a stick of incense burned out.
Also, because this happened so abruptly, many people were embarrassed to take the stage. After all, there were a lot of people in the crowd.
Under the supervision of Governor Pei, more than 60 people began to draw lots.
There are only five pieces of paper with the word "Judge" written on them. Those who have blank slips of paper will step down immediately, leaving only five people to serve as judges.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
