Chapter 79: The Gambling House
It's not that Wang Cuilan is looking for trouble, it's a family matter.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't meddle in this kind of thing, and he couldn't inquire more, so he didn't ask more.
The next few days were peaceful, and soon ushered in Jiang Xiaoxiao's second competition.
This time, Jiang Xiaoxiao took it very seriously, not only because he could get twenty taels of silver for the first prize, but also because if he won the first place, Jiang Ming's restaurant could also get good publicity.
Early in the morning, Jiang Xiaoxiao took the kitchen utensils and met Fang Qiumin, and then went to Baili Town.
Before she arrived at Yipinlou, Fang Qiumin began to get nervous, in mid-August, the air in the early morning was just right, but her hands were full of fine sweat at this time.
"Xiaoxiao, what to do, I'm a little nervous."
"Calm down and treat it as a normal cooking."
As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, they met Wang Cuilan and Zhang Man.
The four of them all participated in the competition, Wang Cuilan saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, her face was naturally not good, Wang Cuilan has been pestering Zhang Man for the past few days, asking Zhang Man when Zhang Chuzhi will return to the village.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, looking at her delicate face, and thinking of what Zhang's mother said, I couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Early in the morning, I met the plague god! What a frown! Wang Cuilan glared a few times and said coldly.
"Cuilan." Zhang Man hurriedly pulled Wang Cuilan's arm, and he took the initiative to greet Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, it's such a coincidence, you also go to Yipinlou." ”
Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, which was in response to her words.
"Just the two of you? Didn't your brother come along? Zhang Man said, and looked around.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was helpless.
Zhang Man's eyes are really vicious, and when he saw it, he fell in love with a noble man with golden branches and jade leaves.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pursed her lower lip: "No." ”
After speaking, she pulled Fang Qiumin and hurriedly took an ox cart.
Zhang Man was anxious to follow him, but was stopped by Wang Cuilan: "Don't be with them, I'm too bad luck!" What good can you do with them! If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have to bring their own ingredients for this competition, they wouldn't have had a chance to participate in this competition! ”
The wheels rolled slowly, and Jiang Xiaoxiao and they had already set off.
Zhang Man stomped his feet angrily: "Cuilan, why are you always fighting against Jiang Xiaoxiao!" I don't even know how to get along with Jiang Xiaoxiao! ”
"What do you get along with her, her younger brothers, they don't have much ability at first glance, and their family doesn't even have a field." Knowing that Zhang Man wanted to please Jiang Xiaoxiao, but because she fell in love with Jiang Xiaoxiao's younger brother, Wang Cuilan directly poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Man.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoxiao and Fang Qiumin arrived at the Yipin Building that they knew that this time the competition was conducted directly outside the Yipin Building.
Outside the first building, a total of five simple stoves were built.
It seems that there are five people in one round, a total of three rounds, one will be selected in each round, and then the remaining three people will be ranked in turn.
Because it was a direct street game, the game had not officially started, and there were already a lot of onlookers.
"Xiaoxiao, we need to go there and draw lots." Fang Qiumin pointed to the hosting platform not far away, and sitting in front of him was Lin Xun, who had presided over the competition before.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and went over with Fang Qiumin.
Fang Qiumin silently prayed as she walked, "You must be blessed, you must be blessed, she and Xiaoxiao must not be arranged together"
Fang Qiumin knew Jiang Xiaoxiao's level, she only chose one round, if she and Jiang Xiaoxiao were together, then she would have no chance of winning.
But if she's lucky, and she's a good cook, she might be able to win two bags of grain.
When he arrived at the organizer stage, Fang Qiumin said, "Xiaoxiao, you come first." ”
Jiang Xiaoxiao took a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube casually, Lin Xun looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with a smile, he was very impressed by Jiang Xiaoxiao, if nothing else, Jiang Xiaoxiao had the biggest chance of winning this time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the bamboo stick and looked at it, only to see a second engraved on it: "Qiu Min, it seems that I am the second round." ”
Qin Shihai, who arrived early on the side, couldn't help but glance at her up and down when he heard Jiang Xiaoxiao's words.
Qin Shihai's ancestors used to be imperial chefs in the palace, although the younger generations are down, but the kitchen recipes have always been inherited, Qin Shihai is too conceited about himself, only glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, then retracted his gaze, and did not put her as an opponent in his eyes.
Here, Fang Qiumin took a breath and closed his eyes to smoke.
She didn't dare to look at the bamboo stick, so she simply handed it to Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you can help me see it." ”
Jiang Xiaoxiao took it with a smile: "Qiu Min, you are the last round, you can prepare more." ”
When Fang Qiumin heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Really! That's great! ”
Knowing the meaning of Fang Qiumin's words, she smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and wait first." ”

Jiang Ming, who was at Tongxin Restaurant at this time, called Jiang Wu, who came over to help: "Big brother, don't be busy yet, Sister A's competition today, you and I will go to a few places." ”
"What? Where to? Jiang Wu frowned: "The cakes haven't been sold out yet." ”
"Let the guys in the store sell, big brother, you come with me first." Jiang Ming pulled Jiang Wu out.
"God babble." Although Jiang Wu was muttering, he still followed Jiang Ming out of Tongxin Restaurant.
He thought that Jiang Ming was going to take him to watch Sister A's game, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ming would take him to the gambling house.
