Chapter 67: Time for the Competition
Throwing her messy thoughts aside, Ruan Xiaodie decides not to think about these messy things anymore.
After washing up in a hurry, I covered the quilt and fell asleep.
The next day, I still got up early, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw Lu Chuan's back silently waiting at the door.
Ruan Xiaodie patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder and showed a big smile at him, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm." Looking at her smiling face like a little sun, the corners of Lu Chuan's mouth lifted lightly.
The two of them quickly descended the mountain in a carriage to the entrance of the tavern.
Wang Mei was given the key before, and by the time they arrived, the door had already opened.
Ruan Xiaodie quickly jumped out of the carriage: "Sister Wang Mei! ”
"Fluttershy's here?" Wang Mei saw her and said hello.
"Mmmm, I'll go and get busy first, Sister Wang Mei, are you settling accounts?" Ruan Xiaodie, who was about to walk back, saw that she was fiddling with her abacus and asked casually.
"yes, it's alright, Fluttershy, you can get busy first." Wang Mei looked up and replied.
"Okay, then you count." Ruan Xiaodie said as she walked towards the kitchen, and at a glance saw the casserole still on the stove.
"Mom! How did I forget this! With a pat on her forehead, Ruan Xiaodie was almost frightened to death, and hurriedly went to check, only to see that the stove had gone out before she breathed a sigh of relief.
When I opened the casserole, I found that it was steaming with a thick heat, it turned out that yesterday's stove fire was originally small, and then there was no firewood, and it burned until midnight and gradually extinguished, which did not cause a big disaster, and because of the blessing of misfortune, Ruan Xiaodie got a pot of very thick Buddha jumping over the wall.
Carefully brought the casserole out, and saw Lu Chuan and Wang Mei couldn't help but complain to them: "I'm scared to death, I forgot about this dish on the stove for soup yesterday, fortunately there is no firewood in the back, and it is extinguished, otherwise I estimate that our tavern will have to be burned out." ”
Wang Mei was scared to death when she heard this, and couldn't help but scold Ruan Xiaodie: "Sister Xiaodie, this matter is not careless, don't be so big-hearted next time, if it burns, we will lose a lot, not to mention the big loss, and we will have to compensate the landlord." ”
"No, hey, I'll be careful in the future!" Ruan Xiaodie reassured.
Even Lu Chuan looked at her worriedly beside her.
"Oh, Lu Chuan, don't look at me like this, I will definitely change it, you can try my new dish first!" Seeing Lu Chuan's worried gaze, Ruan Xiaodie was a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic.
gave Wang Mei and Lu Chuan a bowl of soup, watched them taste it with a blank eye, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" ”
"Wow, that's fresh, Fluttershy, you're amazing!" Wang Mei sighed exaggeratedly, Lu Chuan on the side also nodded approvingly, Ruan Xiaodie took the bowl and tasted it a little, it was really delicious, although it was thick but not greasy, it could be said that it was copied ten out of ten with the system.
"Fluttershy!" Du Sheng's voice came from outside the door.
Ruan Xiaodie turned around in wonder and saw that it was really Du Sheng, and stood up to greet him: "Du Gongzi, why are you here?" ”
"Oh Fluttershy, I'm bothering you so early, I wanted to tell you about the cooking competition." Du Sheng bowed his hand to Ruan Xiaodie before speaking.
"In this way, that's really troublesome Du Gongzi, and I asked you to make a special trip." Ruan Xiaodie was a little embarrassed.
"Nothing, no small thing." Du Sheng didn't care.
Looking at the Buddha jumping over the wall in her hand, Ruan Xiaodie asked casually: "Du Gongzi, I just tried the new dish yesterday, do you want to try it?" ”
Du Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay, then thank you Miss Fluttershy." ”
Ruan Xiaodie smiled and went to the kitchen to get him a bowl.
Looking at Du Sheng like that, Lu Chuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the counter and sat down.
Touching his nose stupidly, Du Sheng was confused, and he didn't understand where he had offended this man.
Ruan Xiaodie took a bowl out, filled a bowl and handed it to Du Sheng: "Taste it, Du Gongzi."
As a result, Du Sheng tasted the small bowl and couldn't help but sigh: "What a delicious taste!" What kind of dish is this? ”
"This is what I prepared for the cooking competition, the first time I did it, and I have to improve it again, oh yes, what do you want to tell me, Du Gongzi?" Ruan Xiaodie got down to business.
"Well, yes, the cooking contest is scheduled to be held in the county seat in three days, but as long as you sign up, you'll be paid for the carriage and horses, so Fluttershy doesn't have to worry about the cost." Du Sheng explained intimately.
"Haha, Du Gongzi really knows me and knows what I care about most." Ruan Xiaodie smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this.
Du Sheng also blamed himself for being a little reckless, and actually said these things directly, and wanted to remedy it but was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Seeing that he also looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Ruan Xiaodie waved her hand: "Don't take it to heart, Du Gongzi, I'm very poor in the first place." ”
Hearing this, Du Sheng felt even more embarrassed: "Miss Fluttershy, I have also been notified of this news, so I will go back first, by the way, I will also go to the county seat in three days, and we can go together when the time comes." ”
"Okay, it depends on the situation then, then I won't keep you, Du Gongzi, go slowly." Ruan Xiaodie sent Du Sheng to the door, looked at his distant back, and then turned back to the tavern.
"This cooking contest starts in three days, are you ready, Fluttershy?" Wang Mei saw her come back and hurriedly asked, even Lu Chuan looked over.
"Hey, I prepared this dish, I don't know if I can do it, let's prepare a few more dishes in the next two days, I'm still a little nervous." Ruan Xiaodie smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It's okay, Fluttershy, let's go with the flow, I think you're going to be able to make a lot of people fall for this dish today, it's really delicious!" Wang Mei gave Ruan Xiaodie a thumbs up.
"It's not that good, but it depends on the original umami of the food, and it still has to be improved." Sighing like this, Ruan Xiaodie shook her head and plunged into the kitchen to research new dishes.
Outside, Wang Mei and Lu Chuan glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's helplessness.
Anyway, Ruan Xiaodie called the system again in the kitchen: "System, come out for me!" ”
"What's wrong, what's wrong, host!" The system spoke in a hurried tone, as if it had really rushed over.
"I asked you if that high-grade seasoning was any good, and described the effect specifically." Ruan Xiaodie asked.
"Host, high-grade flavoring agents are colorless, and putting them in food will make any kind of food extremely delicious, so that those who eat it will have an endless aftertaste." The system explained.
Touch it, Ruan Xiaodie pouted, "This sounds like a primary flavoring." ”
"No, host, this high-grade flavoring is a little more obsessive than the beginner." Systematically correct Ruan Xiaodie.
"Do I have enough points?" Ruan Xiaodie heard the words and prepared to exchange for a bottle.
"Just, last night's points." The system answers.
"Okay, get me another bottle." Ruan Xiaodie decided with a wave of her hand.
