From that time, as soon as the restaurant said goodbye to the defender, Xuan Mo intentionally or unintentionally avoided Zhao Qinmin, this time it was not easy to meet, Zhao Qinmin saw them holding hands intimately, and she only felt very dazzling, but she still held back her resentment and forced a smile: "Did Boss Mu enter the finals?" ”

Yue Yao's footsteps did not stop.

Seeing this, Zhao Qinmin stomped her feet hatefully, and said loudly: "I am the judge of the finals, Yue Yao, with me here, you don't want to be the first." ”

Her footsteps stopped.

Zhao Qinmin was triumphant, she knew that Yue Yao cared about this the most: "Yue Yao, you beg me, I know you want this opportunity very much." ”

Wei Xuanmo grabbed Yue Yao's arm when he heard this: "Don't worry about irrelevant people." ”

His tone was soft, and in the middle of this silent corridor, it still reached Zhao Qinmin's ears. Her smile immediately froze at the corners of her mouth, and her face gradually turned pale.

Yue Yao knew how lethal Wei Xuanmo's words were to Zhao Qinmin, and she instantly fell silent when she looked at her, a little unbearable.

She didn't want to worry about Zhao Qinmin, Yueyao was a commoner in the palace, but Zhao Qinmin was the lord of the court, she was fearless, not afraid of the powerful, and she would not be arbitrarily presumptuous in the palace, so whatever she Zhao Qinmin said, she just endured it. But there is no concession on the issue of principle.

"County Lord, first of all, congratulations on becoming the judge of the competition, the judge is the final decider of the King of Chef Competition, the emperor must have expectations for choosing you. If the spring breeze is not doing well, then I admit defeat. Yue Yao's eyes were serious and firm, "If the county lord is favoritism, I ...... There is nothing to say either. ”

Wei Xuanmo added lightly, with a hint of danger in his tone: "This king will personally visit the Nanyang Marquis Mansion." ”

The handkerchief fluttered and fell like a dandelion, and Yue Yao also saw that there was a faint embroidery of the word "Cen" on it.

The day of the final has finally arrived after a lot of anticipation.

Both sides of the drunken immortal building and the imperial dining room first checked the preparation of the ingredients again, and after sorting it out, they stood still in the wind, and there was an inevitable determination on their faces, but the spring breeze was very flustered on the side of the building, and the ingredients that had been counted this morning were missing at this time.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the drunken immortal building and the imperial dining room had already started in an orderly manner, but there was no movement on the side of the spring breeze triumphant building.

"Owner, what should I do?" Master Cao said anxiously, the current situation can be guessed by fools, but he doesn't know who is behind the scenes.

Yan'er looked at the Drunken Immortal Building and the Imperial Dining Room opposite, and felt that either one was possible, this was the last moment, and the odds of winning would increase a lot if she eliminated a strong competitor.

Yue Yao sorted out the remaining ingredients on the table, and said calmly: "Master Cao, let's make the osmanthus ball first." ”

"What about steamed stuffed tofu?" It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how superb Yueyao's cooking skills are, they will not come in handy.

"Change." As soon as Yue Yao gave an order, he told Master Cao and Yan'er the recipe he had temporarily changed. After finishing speaking, Master Cao immediately pinched the dough, and Yan'er immediately prepared the basic seasonings and decorations for plating.

It's too late, Yan'er helps Master Cao make the osmanthus ball, and Yue Yao needs to complete the rest by herself.

Yue Yao took out the white rice left over from last night, spread it flat on the cutting board, added osmanthus, green onion, ginger, garlic, removed the egg yolk and sprinkled the remaining egg white on the rice, then heat the pot, turn off the heat, put the rice on the board with the auxiliary ingredients and stir evenly, and use the residual heat in the pot to help the rice become solid particles. Then scoop up the rice and put it on a cutting board with a rolling pin, boil a lot of hot oil in the pan, and fry it until golden brown. Finally, a small dish with homemade seasoning is served as a dipping sauce.

Rao is this snack she has made many times in her spare time, and she is very proficient, but because of the temporary change of recipe, the bell that stopped when she finished cooking also rang.

Yue Yao stepped on the last minute to complete the golden pot helmet and presented it to the table in front of the judges. Compared with the oily jumping shrimp in the drunken immortal building next to it and the Buddha jumping over the wall in the imperial dining room, the golden pot in the spring breeze triumphant building really looks a little shabby.

Zhao Qinmin seemed to have expected it, flipped through the menu handed in before the game, and said indifferently: "Spring breeze is proud." ”

"Why?" Before Yue Yao could speak, Master Cao couldn't help but ask. Their ingredients are missing, and after a lot of hard work, they finally barely finish a dish, although they can't sell as much as the other two, but why don't they even qualify?

Yue Yao also looked at Zhao Qinmin in a daze, only thinking that the announcement standing in front of her was the sign of the judge Zhao Qinmin, which was full of irony.

The triumphant smile in her eyes did not escape Yueyao's eyes. Yue Yao suddenly remembered the recipe she had handed in beforehand, obviously she only needed to hand in the name of the dish, she was unprepared at the time, and she didn't expect this ...... So, it was Zhao Qinmin who took her ingredients away?

It seems that Zhao Qinmin didn't take what she said that day to heart. That's right, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she can do whatever she wants with the identity of the county lord, how could she take the words of her little restaurant owner to heart.

"You're running out of time." Zhao Qinmin said, and pointed to the menu handed in by Yue Yao, "What you want to do is steamed stuffed tofu, what is this?" ”

"Golden Pot Helmet." Yue Yao clasped his hands, his face was calm, and he replied slowly.

"So, disqualify you." Zhao Qinmin glanced at the other judges with her eyes, saw that the others had no objections, bowed her head with satisfaction, and proudly explained the specific reason for the elimination: "The dishes you made are different from the menu you handed in, and they have exceeded the production time, and they have been automatically eliminated." ”

Although Yue Yao knew that Zhao Qinmin would definitely hinder her, she couldn't help but defend: "I didn't run out of time, and the difference in dishes won't have any effect." ”

"Rules are rules, otherwise what was the purpose of asking you to hand over the menu in the first place." Zhao Qinmin said righteously. If you don't know her real thoughts and what she has done secretly, anyone who looks at her will think that this is a good judge who is serious, responsible, fair and impartial.

The final judges consisted of three culinary masters and three members of the royal family, the culinary masters were voted by the people, and the royal family members were composed of Wei Xuanmo, Qi Nanshan and Zhao Qinmin.

It's a bit strange that a member of the royal family is a judge of the King of Chef competition, but it's no surprise that all three of them have other purposes.

For example, Wei Xuanmo's position as a judge was naturally requested by himself, needless to say Qi Nanshan, he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to taste all the world's delicacies justifiably, and Zhao Qinmin and Wei Xuanmo both came for Yueyao, but the purpose was different.

Zhao Qinmin is the daughter of the Marquis of Nanyang, the Marquis of Nanyang has a very high status in the court, it can be said that she is under one person and ten thousand people, she is the pearl of the family, her identity is rising, even the emperor has a little favor for her, and the rest of the judges dare not offend her, and almost all the right to speak is in her hands.
