Now is the time to eat hibiscus.

As early as in the "Book of Songs", there is a record of eating hibiscus flowers, which are relatively smooth and tender, comparable to loofahs, and hibiscus can be boiled with tofu, scrambled eggs, and made soup, and the method is very rich.

It is rich in crude protein, crude fiber, amino acids, sweet and cool, has the effect of clearing heat, dampness and cooling blood, detoxification and beauty.

…………

Before Ye Qing and the others could leave the intersection of South Street, the wooden bead curtain in front of the door of Zhang Ji's grocery store was lifted.

Zhang Qiaokui walked out of it.

It was hot, and she wanted to go across the street to buy a bowl of cold jelly and bring it to the store.

Zhang Qiaokui wore a pink shirt with a goose yellow embroidered horse-faced skirt, and the fabric was still fine satin.

And it seems that she seems to be in a very good mood, with a faint rouge on her face, lip grease, combing her peach heart sideburns, and a large beaded flower, but she looks very delicate and gorgeous.

As soon as she stepped out of the door of the grocery store, she only took two steps, and at a glance she saw Ye Qing not far in front of her.

Zhang Qiaokui's eyebrows tightened, his expression suddenly changed color, and he shouted at Ye Qing: "Ye Leek, why did you come to my store again?" ”

Originally, Ye Qing was leaving, but he paused when he heard the words, but he didn't want to pay attention to her, and walked forward directly without even turning around.

But Zhang Qiaokui suddenly walked quickly in front of Ye Qing, and shouted viciously: "Ye Leek Ya, are you deaf?" Didn't I tell you not to come to my shop again? Why are you so shameless? ”

Ye Ying turned around, glanced at Zhang Qiaokui, and sneered: "Who is shameless, has this South Street become your home?"

We're passing by here, what's in your way, dare to talk nonsense, be careful that your aunt and grandmother break your teeth. ”

Zhang Qiaokui noticed Ye Ying at this time, she knew Ye Ying, and knew that Ye Ying was someone she couldn't provoke, this Ye Ying was very spicy, she took a step back.

But she still looked at Ye Qing with disdain and said: "Ye Leek Ya, let me tell you, my brother won't like you, you should die of this heart as soon as possible, don't keep wandering in front of my shop." ”

Ye Qing just looked at Zhang Qiaokui with a smile, and turned his head coldly to look at the plaque of Zhang Ji's grocery store.

Is she going to tell this girl now that in a few days, this plaque should be replaced?

Ye Qing turned his gaze back and said lightly: "Zhang Qiaokui, which eye has you seen me interesting to your brother over the years, and which ear has heard me say a word to him."

I, Ye Qing, have never liked Zhang Mingyuan at all, don't be self-righteous! ”

Zhang Qiaokui snorted coldly, "That was before, now you are afraid that no one wants you, so you want to pester my brother, or why do you want to come here three times or twice."

I heard that you also viciously framed your stepmother's daughter Chen Ailian, you really have the means. ”

Ye Qing was a little speechless, if Chen Ailian wanted to be with Zhang Mingyuan and fight for herself, it was also a woman's normal selfishness.

Besides, she has nothing to do with the Huang family in the future, and she won't deal with them.

But where did this Qiao Kui get his confidence, he must be with that Zhang Mingyuan?

"It's so thick-skinned, I hear it disgustingly. Sister Qing, let's go......" Ye Ying took Ye Qing's hand and prepared to leave.

Wu Bin also helped: "Yes, yes, don't pay attention to the buzzing flies." ”

Lan Gu also took a step forward, directly pushed Zhang Qiaokui away with her hand and said: "Go away, don't get in the way, my young lady is too lazy to see you in general, why are you still kicking your nose in the face?" ”

When Zhang Qiaokui heard Aunt Lan's words, she seemed to have heard some big joke, and pointed at Ye Qing and asked Aunt Lan, "What did you call her?" Miss! ”

"I'm the slave maid of the Ye family, why don't I call her Miss?" Lan Gu sneered disdainfully, this little girl is beautiful and delicate, not only does she have a bad mouth, but also a bad head?

Zhang Qiaokui's face changed, and she couldn't believe it, why did that ugly fat woman not say anything as if she had changed into a different person, and suddenly raised a slave?

Look, she is dressed much better today than the clothes she wore a few days ago, clean and neat, not sloppy at all.

It seems that even the red marks on her face are much less, only a few sporadic ones, although she is still very fat, but her bearing is very calm and calm.

On the contrary, I was a little annoyed and angry, and I became a shrew, which was very ugly.

People on the street are noticing this.

"Let's go, it's not too early." Ye Qing opened his mouth leisurely, and then did not give Zhang Qiaokui a look, and left calmly.

Ye Ying glanced at Zhang Qiaokui, who was pale, and said to Lan Gu behind her: "Lan Gu, if you see this Zhang Qiaokui five steps closer to here in a few days, you will come out with a big broom, you know?" ”

"Okay." Lan Gu said immediately.

"What are you doing with a broom?" Wu Bin asked in surprise.

"Things that can't be cleaned...... Ye Ying finished speaking, and walked past Zhang Qiaokui with one of her father-in-law's arms.

Zhang Qiaokui didn't understand the true meaning of Ye Ying's words, she was about to say that Ye Ying was telling a joke, and she actually wanted to use a broom to drive her away?

Ye Ying and the others have already left.

She clenched her fists and looked at their backs with a gloomy face, wondering why Ye Leek Bud suddenly bought a person?

Isn't the Ye family poor? Wasn't she betrayed by Old Lady Ye?

Why did they still follow Ye Ying and them on the street, not to mention, they actually bought a subordinate?

Zhang Qiaokui couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to eat anything, so she turned around and went back to the grocery store. She wants to talk about this matter to Zhang Cao's family, could it be that this leaf leek bud has not been sold?

This is a small episode, Ye Qing didn't take it to heart, she felt annoyed when she said a few more words to that kind of person.

……

At this time, it is at the Home Inn inn.

Qian Duoduo was pestering Qian Junbao, saying that he would go to the Tianxue House in the town to watch the cooking competition.

"Young Master......"

Originally, Qian Junbao didn't plan to go, but he was going back to Qian Mansion in the afternoon, and he was going to observe whether the injured man would wake up today.

However, Qian Junbao still couldn't bear Qian Duoduo's grinding, and he was also a little curious about the cooking competition, so he called Qian Shanbo to take care of the man, and he took Qian Duoduo to Tianxueju in a carriage.

Unexpectedly, after Qian Junbao came over, he was actually invited by Chef Fang of Tianxueju to be a judge.

In the past few days, Qian Junbao has eaten a total of four meals in Tianxueju, and this chef doesn't know how he found out that Qian Junbao's taste is extraordinary.

However, being able to be a judge of a cooking competition is very happy for Qian Junbao.

His health is not good, and he has been locked up in the world of Qingzhu Courtyard all the year round, which has suffocated him, and he has planned to relax and relax these days, play around and taste food.

Ye Qing took Ye Ying and the others back to the small courtyard in an ox cart.

As soon as she entered the small courtyard, Ye Ying's eyes looked around, "Sister Qing, is this really the courtyard you bought?" It looks really good, it's close to the academy. ”

Wu Bin also nodded, "Well, it's good." It's a bit expensive, such a small yard costs one hundred and eighty taels. If you can buy a large yard with two entrances and two exits on the east side, it is still new. ”

The cooking competition held by Tianxueju has two links: cold dishes and hot dishes after entering the second round.

Cold dishes include dim sum, pastries, platters, etc., and hot dishes are naturally steamed and fried at will.

The chefs who entered the top ten today have been carefully selected, so naturally there will not be a situation where the chefs cooked indiscriminately like yesterday's audition.

Contestants can bring their own ingredients for the second round of the competition, but they need to undergo strict inspections and are not allowed to bring their own cooked food.

It is estimated that I am afraid of the situation like yesterday, and I heard that there are two more judges today, a total of seven.

The ingredients brought by Ye Qing were strictly inspected before they were allowed to enter the competition venue.

Ye Qing had read the rules of the competition before, and this time there were 30 more mass judges.

At that time, the dishes made by the contestants, in addition to serving some in small plates for the seven judges to taste;

It is also necessary to give the remaining dishes to the judges to try one by one, and they can vote for their votes in a box with the chef's number plate written on it.

In this way, each participating chef is required to cook not too few dishes.

It is also necessary to make a meat, a vegetarian, two hot dishes and a cold dish within half an hour.

The selection criteria are divided into color, fragrance and taste.

After Ye Qing came in, he unexpectedly found that today was not as crowded as yesterday, but that irrelevant people and others had been emptied into the hall of the restaurant.

They can only listen to the news of the game, not watch it, but even that can't stop people's curiosity.

The backyard can be seen on the second floor of the entire Tianxue House, and the place near the fence is already full of people.

If it weren't for Tianxueju sending someone to stop it, some people would probably climb the trees to watch......

Tianxueju has five stoves in the backyard on the east and west.

And on the small high platform with an awning in the middle, there are also five mahogany tables, and one person sits behind them, and next to them are all standing small maids or little maids playing fans.

Of the five people on the high platform, there was an old man in a green robe sitting in the middle, with white hair and white beard, his eyes were bright, and there was actually a kitchen knife with a leather sheath stuck in his waist, which should be the old man with "nine knives".

The other four, three of them were wearing uniform robes, judging from the same robes on their bodies, they should be the chefs of Tianxueju, Ye Qing had seen them all yesterday.

Moving his eyes over, the man on the far side of the left hand side, dressed in white, with long knuckles like jade bamboo and holding a landscape painting folding fan, appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes.

Today, his black hair is tied by a simple white hosta, a delicate and handsome face, his demeanor is leisurely, his eyes are quiet, but he exudes a touch of nobility.

Looking at it from afar, the whole person is really a stranger like jade, and his elegance is unparalleled, if it weren't for the fact that there are too few young women here, he might be able to make the girl who saw him fall in love with it.

Standing behind him without squinting and looking at the light blue cloth dress dressed as a scholar, isn't it the young man who is full of malice towards himself?

Ye Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled faintly. I didn't expect that the judge who replaced Chef-in-waiting was him, and I don't know what his name is?

At this moment, almost all the participating chefs went to the stove to prepare, and some were selecting the ingredients that were placed on the shelf under a big banyan tree and prepared by Tianxueju.

Ye Qing looked around, almost all the chefs who participated in the competition brought helpers, and several chefs even brought three deputies.

Of the ten contestants, she was the only one who participated in this second round of the competition alone.

Ye Qing straightened the red summer cloth clothes on his body and put on an apron of the same color.

Then he took out a jujube red chef's cloth hat that he had made himself, hid his hair, and then walked towards his own stove.

This special dress attracted the attention of some people, and as soon as she stood on the stove, she heard a discussion from the crowd nearby.

"That's Chef No. 10? What a little girl!"

"Why did she wear a high hat! And what is the cloth around her waist for? However, it goes well with the clothes on her body. ”

"Nondescript, how did she get into the top ten?"

"yes, does anyone know her, and what restaurant is she a cook from?"

"She can't cook, she's so fat, and she's so young, she can't come in through the back door, right?"

"It can't be Chef Fang's, right?"

"I've seen several of Chef Fang's daughters, but they're not that ugly. And her name is Ye Qing, and she is not surnamed Fang. ”

"Ye Qing, I haven't heard of it."

"No. 10 Ye Qing, I know her."

"Who is it?"

"The daughter of Ye Fuzi of Egret Academy is Ye Leek Ya, the daughter of the Ye Ning clan who originally opened the teahouse."

"Ye Fuzi's daughter is so ugly?"

After hearing this, a middle-aged man pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered, "I don't know Ye Ning, who opened the teahouse." And the chef who runs a teahouse also comes out? At her age, at most she can cook some homely food.

What's going on with Snow House on this day, anyone can be shortlisted? ”

None of the other chefs in the top 10 were under the age of 20, and the youngest was in their thirties.

Of the ten chefs, only two are women, and the other female chef in her thirties is still the favorite to win the championship in this competition.

"Brother Huang, you can't say that, since you can be shortlisted in the top ten, you naturally have some ability.

Tianxueju is a time-honored brand, and it is impossible to smash its own signboard at this juncture, right? Someone spoke.

"Didn't that girl make trouble in Tianxueju the day before yesterday, and let go of her arrogance and say that she could enter the top three?"

"Yes, yes, I remember it too! I heard that Tianxueju also fired a young guy because of her! ”

"It's still a yellow-haired girl who speaks wildly!"

"It's as fat as a pig, and it's not as good as a Korean flower."

"It's just that I'm not interested in eating her dishes for a while."

The cook on the stove next to Ye Qing is a cabbage, and against the backdrop of the Korma, slender and charming, Ye Qing, who weighs almost one hundred and eighty pounds, looks a little bulky.

Even more so that in terms of the aesthetics of the men of the Daewoo Dynasty, who pays attention to women to be weak and strong, and who is thin and beautiful, Ye Qing can be regarded as an ugly girl.

"Oh, the old man will pay more attention to her later, if she is a fish-eyed and indiscriminate, she will definitely let Tianxueju give an explanation."

It was Li Minghong, the owner of Shunfu Restaurant in the town, who said this.

This Shunfu Restaurant and Tianxueju are two of the largest restaurants in the town, one in the south and one in the north, and have been secretly competing for many years.

The distinguished guests from the capital wanted to be the special judges of this competition, and this news made Li Minghong think.

So he bribed the two selected chefs, joined Shunfu first, and sent the best chef from his own restaurant as his deputy to participate in the competition.

I want to take advantage of this competition to suppress Tianxueju, or show my limelight in front of distinguished guests.
