Chapter Eighty-Five: Anyway, at least I worked hard for it

The moment Ye Qing raised his hand, Christie's hand was also raised belatedly.

It seems that out of some tacit understanding, starting from the first imperial oath, the party that completes it first will wait for the completion of the other party within the specified time by default, and it was Xiang who gave this kindness at first, and then, Christie gave this kindness back to others.

But this time Christie's work is much simpler, and it is not as peculiar as the last time to chew tea.

She was served six sealed cylinders made of metal, different from the slender metal cylinders of the previous chewing tea, this time the cylinders were relatively flat, like a larger rouge box.

On Ye Qing's own side, it was much more simple and rude, and what she presented was six rather large ceramic trays, which were covered with metal dome covers, which looked more grand and formal.

However, relatively speaking, Ye Qing's side is indeed much larger than Christie's side in terms of size and weight.

"Who will come first?" Ye Luan looked at the works of both sides and said calmly, without the slightest hint of favoritism because there was a sister in front of him.

Ye Qing sighed and raised his hand: "I'll come first, if she comes first, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to compare." “

Saying this, Ye Qing took the plate and presented it to the judges one by one, and out of a small accident when the Third Highness was in the past, this time both sides made six copies with tacit understanding, and let the competitors taste their works one more.

Christie looked at the tray that Ye Qing sent to her, and smiled calmly: "Don't expect me to be grateful." “

Ye Qing pursed his lips: "I've never thought about it like this, okay, I just thought that I would have to eat what you made for a while, if I was too tasteless, I would look down on myself, but the fact that I don't like you will not change." “

Christie smiled like a flower: "Mutual friend, I have always disliked your Royal Highness the Princess." “

With that, Christie reached out and lifted the huge metal cover, looking at the enticing aroma and white mist emitted inside, and a smile of surprise and anticipation appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh, I see. “

Ye Qing pouted: "If you want to laugh, laugh enough, anyway, I don't have such a perverted talent as you, I can only do it like this with all my might, I originally planned to give up on myself and just make noodles, but under Sister Xuehua's persuasion, I reluctantly gave up and made this thing." “

Christie shook her head quietly and smiled slightly: "No, I didn't mean to laugh at the princess, it's just that like the Third Highness, I like the way you work hard, and I'm sorry." “

"It's not a mockery, I know it's a lot like it, but I'm really sorry, although not all hard work in this world pays off, but sometimes I don't get it because I've blasphemed your determination, so I'm sorry."

Saying this, Christie reached out and picked up a bone toothpick placed next to the tray, reached out to tie up a small delicate and crystal clear shrimp dumpling, took a small bite with her shell teeth, and then reached out to dip some of the sauce in the center of the tray, and then put the whole shrimp dumpling in her mouth, lowered her head and felt the taste carefully, before slowly raising her head and smiling: "It's delicious." “

Ye Qing was a little unhappy: "Is it just delicious?" “

Christie nodded: "Isn't there only two kinds of food to evaluate, good and bad?" If you finish a complex dish with almost no mistakes, you can give a good evaluation, and if the dish has many highlights above the average, then it can be evaluated as delicious. “

"And the reason why I say this dish of yours is delicious, in addition to the taste, is also because you really work hard, princess."

Christie said this, and at the same time reached out and took out a fried dumpling with a jade chopstick, also rolled on the sauce, turned around and put it in her mouth, and smiled even sweeter: "And after making so many of them, the level is still quite stable, it's really a great thing." “

Ye Qing was a little unhappy: "You praise me like this, do you feel like you've won?" “

Christie looked at Ye Qing's somewhat gloomy expression, and couldn't help but laugh softly again: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really cute, it's a pity that we don't like each other, otherwise maybe we will really become very good friends." “

"Win or lose, I'm not sure, the reason why I praise you is because this dish is really to my taste, I feel delicious after tasting it, and it has nothing to do with anything else, as for the evaluation of whether your dish or my dish is better, it's not my business, it's something that the judges need to worry about."

"I'm just a simple diner, and I just happen to eat something delicious."

On the referee's seat, Ye Luan said with a smile: "Yes, this is the first time I agree with Her Majesty the Empress's opinion so much, it is really delicious, and this is completely enough, besides, Xiao Jiu, you have made so many delicious things." “

Ye Qing's face flushed slightly, no matter how much Christie praised her, she could be indifferent, she only felt that the other side was mocking, but when Ye Luan said the same thing, it was completely different.

After all, in Ye Qing's memory, this stern sister rarely said anything more than average to herself.

Ye Luan looked at Ye Qing's face that was instantly covered with red glow, and smiled embarrassedly: "You are too lawless when you laugh, and your tail will rise to the sky when you praise it, of course you can't help the abuse, but now Xiao Jiu, no matter how much you praise me, I think you should be able to bear it." “

Saying this, Ye Luan then reached out and took out a soup-filled dumpling with a spoon, gently bit off the skin as thin as a cicada's wings, carefully sucked the delicious and fragrant soup inside, and then reached out to dip it in a little vinegar and chili, and put it in his mouth with a satisfied face: "What did I say, it was really much better than what I made." “

At this time, Carrotes opened his mouth and asked, "Well, Your Majesty, the dishes you cook don't seem to be heavy, is this true?" “

Christie saw Carrotes' ghost thoughts at a glance, but she didn't debunk it, smiled and said, "This time it's just like you can see, but it's not much, you can eat it open." “

Carrotes couldn't help but cheer and exclaimed, "It's really a wise choice for me to skip dinner in the morning." At the same time, he launched a final charge against the dumplings in front of him with a whole tray of dumplings.

Yes, Ye Qing's last dish of choice was dumplings.

To put it simply, it is a hundred ways to make dumplings.

As a reserved girl, Ye Qing finally chose to leave blank, so she only placed ninety-nine dumplings with different fillings, different workmanship, and different cooking methods on this huge tray, just like a blooming sunflower, and the center of the flower plate was divided into nine parts of the circle to present different flavors of sauce.

And this is Ye Qing's 100 doings.

It is also the best she can do.
