Huai Yanqing always felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Yi saying this, and his personal obsession seemed to be a little too much, but he just shook his head after all and didn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's family matter.

"Lin Jinxiu can't win." Zhou Yi's fists clenched, "The way she is now, she can't cook at all, my chef has a level of decades, it's impossible to ......"

Zhou Yi lowered his head and muttered these words, repeating them over and over again, as if he was very distrustful of himself.

All the conditions were in his direction, but for some reason, his subconscious kept telling him that the situation might be more complicated than he thought.

It seems that he has always thought in his heart that Lin Jinxiu will win.

"Impossible."

How could he have such an idea? Even he couldn't figure it out for himself.

Just when everyone was thinking about something, the small kitchen on Chef He's side moved, and I saw several maids walking out of the small kitchen with plates, announcing the end of the Chef He competition.

He came out from behind the maid and looked confident, obviously he was very good at cooking in this game.

Seeing Chef He's expression, the courtiers of the Zhou Kingdom, including Zhou Yi, breathed a sigh of relief.

Their imperial chef seemed to be extraordinary, if he was satisfied with this dish, how could Lin Jinxiu's little girl compare?

"Good work." When the dish was served to him, Zhou Yi habitually praised it.

Every time he eats, he will thank the maid who serves the food and the cook who cooks, and I don't know if he is creating his image of being close to the people, or if he really thanks them.

However, this is not important to them, and being able to get the emperor's praise and gratitude is the greatest reward for them.

"Serving the emperor is what a minister should do." Chef He confidently waved his hand and stood aside respectfully.

"Come on, loosen the ties for Lord Yan." Zhou Yi glanced at the others and asked them to untie Huai Yanqing, "Let the Yan prince of Yan also taste the food of our Zhou country." ”

Huai Yanqing smiled: "You're not afraid that I will run away?" ”

"Ah Xiu is here, where can you run?" Zhou Yi felt that what he asked was nonsense, "If you don't fulfill the agreement and leave, how will I treat Ah Xiu, do you know?" ”

Of course Huai Yanqing knew, so he didn't want to run at all, after being untied, he just shook his arm to relieve the soreness of being tied up for the past few days.

The knives, forks and dishes were arranged, if it weren't for the embarrassment, Huai Yanqing's calm appearance looked like a guest who had been invited.

"It's a shame that you're still so calm." Zhou Yi let him go naturally not to invite him to eat, "I hope that when you can witness Ah Xiu's failure, this will probably be the last meal you will eat in your life." ”

"Then I have to thank the emperor for giving me such a high-level capital punishment meal." Huai Yanqing pretended to salute.

Zhou Yi waved his hand, and the maid next to him immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the bowl on the table.

Chef He's dishes are under this bowl lid, and they are all quite exquisite, which is obviously the level of the palace chef.

"The first course represents the joy and joy of spring."

In spring, corresponding to the joyful mood, the big dish made by Chef He is a milky dessert, and the fried taro balls are neatly arranged, and the entrance is shengjin, and every time you bite down, it is a crispy lip and tooth collision sound, and the fried is just right.

However, the slightly greasy taro balls are served with refreshing coconut milk, which gives people a sense of happiness while not being too greasy to cause customers to not be able to eat much.

In fact, the amount of this dish was deliberately pressed by Chef He, straight to the point, pointing out the theme, in order to leave room for reverie for the later dishes, so that diners who taste it want to know what kind of flavor the dishes are in the back.

"Not bad." Zhou Yi has never eaten such a dish in Chef He, "Even if it is a sweet tooth, it will not feel bloated, it seems that Chef He has studied the degree of seasoning quite deeply." ”

He Chef replied: "The emperor has a good reputation. ”

Zhou Yi praised two more sentences, and turned his head to Huai Yanqing: "How is it, my imperial kitchen level is good, right?" ”

Huai Yanqing casually ate two bites and didn't continue: "Well, it's very good, but it's not as delicious as Miss Lin's." ”

Hearing Huai Yanqing's answer, Zhou Yi had nothing to say, and as for his heart, he also added some expectations for Lin Jinxiu's dishes.

"Next."

It represents that the angry summer is spicy, a mapo tofu can be described as a classic dish, and the He family has made great improvements to the sauce, it looks fresh and spicy, but the tofu is extremely smooth and tender, and it is covered with red and bright sauce that makes people appetize.

Huai Yanqing didn't eat much spicy food, and tasted a spoonful politely, and then very naturally asked the maid next to him for water.

Zhou Yi saw that Huai Yanqing couldn't eat spicy, so he couldn't help but laugh at him: "I didn't expect that Lord Yan couldn't eat spicy." ”

This schadenfreude look, as if he had won.

Huai Yanqing looked at him while drinking water, hesitated, do you want to ask him if you are Guigeng, after thinking about it, forget it, it sounds too provocative.

"Lord Yan, how is it?" Zhou Yi routinely praised and continued to ask Huai Yanqing.

"Not bad." Huai Yanqing still didn't change that sentence, "But Miss Lin is delicious." ”

Zhou Yi: "......"

Zhou Yi: "Lord Yan, are you sure you didn't deliberately go against me?" ”

"Naturally, no." Huai Yanqing didn't seem to hear his threat, "This king is used to eating Miss Lin's dishes on weekdays, and suddenly changing to someone else's cooking, naturally it feels a little weird." ”

He Chu, who was standing in front of the two, jumped twice on the corner of his eyebrows, ah, he really couldn't help it: "It's just a dish made by one person, how can you be so used to eating that you can't eat other people's dishes?" ”

Although it was a bit arrogant for him to ask directly, this was also the question that Zhou Yi wanted to ask, not to mention them, those onlookers felt that something was wrong.

"This Lord Yan is bragging, right? Could it be that the things made by Miss Lin can really be so delicious? ”

"Doesn't our He Chef have nearly forty years of cooking experience, can it really be compared to the little girl who looks less than twenty years old?"

"Look at the dishes served by Chef He, they are all appetizing products! How could he be casually compared to a little girl! ”

"yes, how is that possible?"

The voice against what Huai Yanqing said was getting louder and louder, but he was not in a hurry, and tilted his head to look in the direction of Lin Jinxiu:

"But now that Miss Lin is in a state, this king can't confirm whether she can show her highest level, so let's wait for the dishes to come out."

This sounded like Lin Jinxiu was stepping down the stairs, and everyone booed, even overshadowing Chef He's next two dishes.

He Chu was very unhappy in his heart, if it weren't for Huai Yanqing's status being higher than him, even if he was a prisoner of war, he could only stay alive, maybe he would have cursed people a long time ago.

The next two dishes are the most important thing in this competition, but don't ignore them!

Fortunately, Zhou Yi still gave him face and opened the lid of the third dish.

At the moment when the lid was opened, before he could taste it, there was also movement on Lin Jinxiu's side.

Four dishes with lids were served and laid out on the table, and Lin Jinxiu once again attracted everyone's attention to her.

She wiped her tears and followed the maid out, her eyes red, as if she had been crying for a long time.

She could finally see things, her eyes moved to Huai Yanqing's side, and before the person could see clearly, tears blurred her vision again, completely making her unable to see the person clearly.

Damn, damn it, her eyes hurt so much, at least let her see people clearly!

Lin Jinxiu was so angry that she stomped her feet over there, this scene was in Zhou Yi's eyes, but it was Lin Jinxiu who cried by herself in the kitchen, and before she could ask her what she was crying for, she looked at Huai Yanqing and cried tears again.

Looking at Huai Yanqing again, although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face was very complicated, as if he was distressed, and all kinds of emotions such as happiness were mixed together, making Zhou Yi feel like a bastard who snatched love with a knife.

The green tendons on his forehead jumped, are these two people so sincere, they haven't seen each other for a few days, why are they crying like this!

Although it is true that he snatched love with a knife, but I didn't do anything to you, can I be like this??

Suck!

Lin Jinxiu snorted, because she had been sobbing, so the tip of her nose looked red now, and her lips were pursed, how helpless she looked, how pitiful she looked.

"Can you see that?" Zhou Yi forcibly removed his eyes from the relationship between the two of them and asked.

Lin Jinxiu nodded: "I was eroded by poison, not really blind, but as soon as I opened my eyes, it would become like this." ”

After that, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Huai Yanqing, and saw that he was okay on the surface, at least his limbs were sound, his expression was calm, and she was much more relieved, and she lowered her head and sighed.

This kind of look is no different from when Huai Yanqing saw her for the first time.

Zhou Yi frowned, pretending not to see the two of them, and set his eyes on the dishes brought by Lin Jinxiu.

It's a good thing now, with them making such a fuss, Zhou Yi's attention completely left Chef He, and the last two dishes that Chef He was proud of had no chance to perform at all.

Chef He: "......"

For a moment, he didn't know whether these two people were unintentional or deliberate.

"Ah Xiu, do you know that if you lose the game again, Yan Huaiqing won't be able to live?" Zhou Yi remembered Lin Jinxiu's perfunctory attitude in the last game and reminded her.

"Of course you do." Lin Jinxiu touched her skull and said with a smile, "I didn't take off the blindfold, because Chef He is very powerful, but he did everything he could." ”

This sentence is not a lie, Lin Jinxiu has not tasted the dishes made by Chef He, or that she has indeed tasted it, but she can't taste it, but she also knows from the taste alone that Chef He is definitely at the level of an imperial chef, and it is also very powerful.

At this time, there is still half an hour before the space repair is unlocked.

Without the help of space, Lin Jinxiu has never faced such an experienced opponent, although she has had the experience of being taught by the imperial chef, but this is completely different concepts from competing with the imperial chef.

She endured the pain in her eyes while trying her best to cook those two dishes, using almost all the skills she had learned in her life, to make the finished product that she was not very satisfied with.

To be honest, she was a little nervous, not only because of herself, these dishes decided the life and death of Huai Yanqing, if she lost the game this time, she probably would never want to continue to be a cook again in her life.

Zhou Yi's hand stretched out to Lin Jinxiu's first plate, which represented the dish of spring.

Lin Jinxiu's heart hung in her throat.

"Wait, Your Majesty."

He Chef watched Zhou Yi's movements, and suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, do you want to see the queen after you have tasted a few dishes of the ministers?" ”

"After all, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct, if you look at them separately, the minister is afraid that the emperor will not be able to taste the real flavor."

Only then did Zhou Yi remember that he had just tasted Chef He's two dishes: "Okay, then let's finish tasting Aiqing's dishes first, and then let's take a look at Ah Xiu's dishes." ”

He Chu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly looked at the little girl standing beside him.
