"What's wrong?"

Ruoshui, who was standing on the side, saw the whole process of Bai Sulian's expression changing, so he came up and asked. Bai Sulian, who heard the question, raised her head and saw Ruoshui standing in front of her, and then, she was surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Ruoshui was speechless, feeling that she had been here to help Bai Sulian find a recipe for so long, and the other party didn't notice her existence at all, no wonder she didn't answer no matter how she asked just now~

"I don't want to be here either, but, you see...... I want to leave. ”

Raising his hand and pointing to the locked door, Ruoshui replied helplessly.

"What's going on? …… Locked! Who did this to you! ”

The suspicious Bai Sulian walked to the door, pushed the door panel, and then shouted in surprise.

"It's a pomegranate, forehead...... Bai Yarou's maid. By the way, did they bully you? Have you been subjected to any abuse or something......"

When both of them were locked up, Ruoshui made time to look Bai Sulian up and down, but seeing that although her clothes were dirty, her energy was not bad, so she was relieved.

"Abuse...... Why should I be abused? ”

Bai Sulian began to wonder again, but she quickly focused on another important point.

"You said Pomegranate locked the door? Why did she lock the door? ”

At this time, Bai Sulian seemed to have become a curious baby, and she took Ruoshui as 100,000 and began to ask non-stop.

"Because my identity is known to them~"

Ruoshui briefly explained how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in Yanranju, so shocked that even the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion began to be afraid of her identity background. Later, I met by chance a few times, and then ...... It's just that I'm locked up here.

"Do you really think you can hide it? The temperament that comes out of the mansion is not something that can be supported by being brave and ruthless. ”

Bai Sulian, who has returned to normal thinking. Speech also began to be aggressive. Ruoshui didn't answer, she just stood silently, her face a little blurred in the shadow of the flickering firelight.

A slightly provocative sentence was spoken, but it did not get the desired effect, and Bai Sulian felt a sense of powerlessness when she punched the cotton. Perhaps feeling that such a-for-tat topic didn't make much sense to bring up in the atmosphere of the moment, she paused for a moment. Then he talked about something else.

"What are you here to do? See my jokes? I'm telling you, as long as I have this, I'm ......"

Bai Sulian triumphantly raised the booklet in her hand. But as if he suddenly remembered something, he frowned and looked at the booklet.

This recipe...... It's a recipe, but it's just a few sporadic ideas about how to make dim sum like lotus cake. There are useful materials, but there are no production methods. A simple diagram of dim sum snacks. But there is no long time to make it, and from this point of view, this so-called recipe does not play the role that the recipe should have at all.

After carefully flipping through it again, Bai Sulian was even more sure of the uselessness of this recipe this time, and she showed disappointment, which could even be regarded as a desperate expression, and it seemed that she had completely lost the mood of mockery.

"Is this how to make lotus cakes? Do you want to use this kind of pastry to win the Chef Audition? ”

Ruoshui didn't reach out to take the booklet in Bai Sulian's hand. Instead, he asked tentatively. Combined with Bai Sulian's expectations all along, as well as the performance just now. Even if she didn't know the origin of this kind of dim sum, it didn't prevent her from guessing Bai Sulian's original purpose.

It's just that, looking at her expression, it seems that there is something wrong with the recipe. Bai Sulian, who was casually asked a few words by Ruoshui, after a period of annoyance, took the opportunity to point the artillery fire at the innocent Ruoshui.

"It's a lotus cake! So what? This is what my father-in-law left me, I don't need you, I can pass the tryouts too! ”

This sentence sounds like a full shout, but in fact, only Bai Sulian herself can understand the helplessness.

The cooking competition in Xiangnan County has been just a formality over the years, and the only accident was the time when her father-in-law went to disrupt the situation alone, but in the end she still failed to change the original quota, from this point of view, this time the selection competition is actually a serious challenge for Bai Sulian.

In the eyes of other participating restaurants, Huadianfang is simply a branch of Shilu Pavilion, and the quota of Shilu Pavilion has been used up in the past two years, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to cook this year, so it is even more difficult for Huadianfang to break through the conventional rules.

Huadianfang is famous, but fame cannot be the turning point of the decisive victory, strength is the most important thing. But Bai Sulian didn't have the strength to reverse the situation, and she was desperate to remember the treasure of the town store of Huadianfang, but unfortunately the husband of the year left suddenly, and the practice of lotus crisp has been buried to this day, and now after digging it out, she found that it was only a remnant.

Fate really likes to joke with me~

Bai Sulian, who was hard-mouthed, had already begun to give up in her heart. She is so desperate to want a platform to express herself, it is nothing more than to prove that she is better than Ruoshui, but unfortunately she chose the wrong direction. Everyone is different, and instead of chasing a goal that is obviously unattainable, it is better to find another way to show your own charm.

Bai Sulian doesn't understand this, her life seems to be full of ups and downs, but in fact, she is still like an ordinary woman, getting married, husband, godson, Ruoshui's unique attraction that makes people can't open their eyes at first sight, is what her boring life can never inspire.

"Is that what you want to do by passing the tryouts, participating in the cooking competition, and then making a name for yourself and gaining fame and fortune? Of course, this should be a dream that most people will have~"

Ruoshui, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth at this time. She muttered as if to herself, then found a random box and sat down on the floor. Hearing her words, Bai Sulian was stunned, she seemed to suddenly have a vague sense of why Ruoshui would refuse to participate in this selection competition, but she couldn't grasp this idea for a while.

"Don't you feel tired of chasing that feeling? How good it is to be well fed, warmly dressed, healthy, and live a peaceful life, and then grow old and die......"

What's so good?

Bai Sulian looked at Ruoshui, who was leaning on the edge of the box in disbelief, looking a little tired, and for the first time found that the woman she had been unable to see through had such a simple, even negative attitude towards life.

However, she has always been so stoic, intelligent, energetic, and has such a positive personality, and she actually yearns for a life of eating and waiting for death, which is ...... It was simply beyond her comprehension.

"That'...... Big strong, small brave them...... Do you want to live like this? ”

She leaned over and sat down beside Ruoshui. (To be continued......)
