"Wait a minute!" Lord Qian stopped a group of people at the gate of Zuixian Tower.
"What's the matter, Mr. Qian?" Master Qiao felt strange.
"Brother Qiao, since you are the one who invited us to be judges today, why don't we look like judges? The folks and elders are all watching! If I just let you go in like this, wait Seeing your cook bring up the dishes, we will naturally be biased in our hearts. How will the challenger feel? Even if it is really your cook who is superb in cooking and defends the ring, the challenger will not be convinced! "Master Qian said clearly and logically.
"Well, what Master Qian said is very true! Just now we didn't think clearly and almost made a big mistake! Brother Qiao, I don't think it's better than this. We don't know what's going on inside now. Why don't you ask someone to let your cook and challenge you?" Or, put the dishes of the two of you on the table without any labels, let's go in and taste it, and only comment on the dishes, not the people, what do you think?" Master Sun followed Master Qian's words and gave suggestion.
"That's great! The three of us can only cast one vote each, so it won't be unfair to the game, and it won't be a tie. Brother Qiao, do you think so?" Mr. Zheng asked with a smile road.
"The three adults are so considerate of Qiao, Qiao is really flattered, everything is according to the wishes of the three adults, Qiao will go in and arrange it." Master Qiao looked happy. Originally, he didn't think about it so much, and he still wanted to use it. Xianyang's way of selecting chefs, but he never thought that these three adults would give such detailed and fair suggestions.
Master Qiao ran into the front hall quickly, leaving Qiao Zizhang outside the door to talk with the three adults.
"Zizhang, your father is a little confused, you need to practice a lot, the Qiao family will depend on you in the future!" Master Sun said.
"Brother Qiao, he's being polite to us. Why should he be flattered? We'll feel sorry for him when we go back to the capital! Let's see what he says! Hahahaha!" Lord Qian and Lord Zheng laughed loudly.
"Uncles. My father was so busy that he fainted. Don't blame him anymore." Qiao Zizhang persuaded him from the side.
It seems that Master Qiao is very familiar with these adults in the provincial capital! Master Zizhang also seems to be quite familiar with these provincial adults. It seems that the capital city was also mentioned? ! Hong Xiu stood aside, with countless doubts in his heart.
Qiao Zizhang told her that day that he would use eight sedan chairs to carry her. Marry her into Qiao's mansion in the capital in a glorious manner.
Could it be that the capital is Master Qiao's real home
What kind of background is the Qiao family? !
Hongxiu was confused.
I used to think that Master Zizhang was just a young master of the Dong family, and thought that she knew the Dong family very well, and knew the young master of the Dong family very well, but now, Hongxiu felt that she didn't understand anything, the strange Master Qiao, the strange Master Zizhang, and the one just now. What Miss Dou from the provincial capital that adults mentioned! Everything is so strange! Even Master Zizhang's smile at this moment seemed particularly unfamiliar.
If Qiao's mansion really has a mansion in the capital. The Qiao family was by no means a simple business family. It was a big family in the capital with many courtyards. Hongxiu unexpectedly guessed at this moment that maybe her young master Zizhang was not just the young master of a restaurant. It is very likely that he is the handsome son of a wealthy family!
In this way, she is just the daughter of the shopkeeper of a restaurant, with a huge disparity in status, why would she want to marry into Qiao's family
Master Zizhang is just the son of a rich family, just playing tricks on every occasion.
Maybe it's because I feel like a wild flower growing on the side of the road, and I feel fresh for a while. I picked it up for fun.
Thinking about it this time, Hong Xiu couldn't help feeling sore in her heart. She lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at Qiao Zizhang's face anymore, even the familiar laughter seemed particularly harsh.
now. Although Qiao Zizhang was talking with several adults, his eyes and thoughts were completely on Hong Xiu beside him.
Hearing the unobtrusive chatting and laughing of several adults around him, and seeing Hongxiu's clear eyes, from doubt to coldness, to despair. Qiao Zizhang's heart was burning with eagerness.
He even wanted to push away the crowd, rushed forward, hugged Hongxiu, hugged her tightly, and said to her: "Little fool, no matter who I am? No matter what the background of my family is? My Qiao Zizhang said , I will definitely do it! Hongxiu, wait for me, when I finish my work in the provincial capital, I will definitely mention it to my father, I will definitely go to shopkeeper Li to propose a marriage, and I will definitely use eight big sedan chairs to carry you in a beautiful manner Marry into Qiao's mansion in the capital!"
However, before the time came, everything was not allowed, Qiao Zizhang could only scratch his heart, and stayed with the adults, watching Hongxiu sad, there was nothing he could do but worry.
"My lords, the inside is ready, please come in!" At this moment, Master Qiao invited, Qiao Zizhang had no choice but to look back at Hongxiu again and again, and accompanied the adults into the front hall involuntarily. up.
At this time, in the middle of the front hall, on a table, Liu Yidao's "Golden Pagoda" was placed on the left, and the gentle "Cloud Soup" was placed on the right.
"My lords, let Qiao introduce me. This is..." Master Qiao was about to extend his hand to introduce Mr. Song Tao and his party, but saw Mr. Song Tao winking at him.
It turns out that Mr. Songtao still has the same temper. He doesn't like others to know his identity. He just wants to enjoy the mountains, rivers and delicious food freely.
Master Qiao coughed lightly, indicating that he had comprehended it.
"Brother Qiao, who do you want to introduce to us?" Mr. Sun felt strange, why did he stop when he was talking about who to introduce
"Oh, it's nothing, Qiao didn't think too much. I originally wanted to introduce the chefs of today's two dishes to the adults. Now that I want to come, I'd like to invite the adults to taste them first, and then get to know each other!" Master Qiao's mind turned in circles. , easily concealed the original meaning.
The three adults picked up their chopsticks and small bowls for tasting, and walked up to the two dishes.
At this time, in a remote alley in the provincial capital, Shuyan and Waizui were dividing up the loot.
"This is yours and this is mine."
Sheng Jiaoxue's jewelry box full of jewels has already been opened, Mouse Eye is taking one for you, and I'm dividing the treasures inside evenly.
In a blink of an eye, Sheng Jiaoxue's box of jewelry was evenly divided into two piles, the golden ones, the green ones, and the colorful ones, really made the two little thieves very happy.
"Hey, I said. Quickly open that red sandalwood box!" Mouse Eye was a little anxious.
"Brother Shu, let me tell you, this box is very delicate, and the lock is not bad. It would be a pity to destroy it like this! Why don't I take it home, open it slowly, and call you when it is opened?" The red sandalwood box, reluctant to part.
"What the hell are you pretending to me! When did you learn to be elegant? I don't know about your little eyes? Quickly, open it for me, and leave when you're done! I'm still waiting to get it!" The money is going to marry the big girl of Huanghua!" Shuyan snorted angrily.
"Hey, Brother Shu. Don't be angry, I'll smash it right away!" He coaxed Shuyan with a crooked mouth full of smiles, then searched left and right, found a big rock, and gritted his teeth. With a hard heart, he raised his hand and threw it at the golden copper lock.
"Crack!" The copper lock fell, and the red sandalwood box was opened.
"Oh, my dear mother, what is this thing!"
As the rosewood box was opened, the two thieves couldn't wait to stick their heads out.
Can't help being dumbfounded!
There are neither thick silver bills nor flashy jewels in the box. There was just a bluish cloud of ash, some herbs, and nothing else.
"Is this medicine?" Crooked mouth reached into the light blue ashes, groped around carefully, and found that there was nothing but ashes inside. Can't help being a little disappointed.
"What a fucking bad luck! After stealing for a long time, I just stole a box of ashes! It still smells like medicine!" Shuyan was a little annoyed.
"Brother Shu, this family seems to be very rich. I'm afraid this medicine is some kind of expensive medicinal material, right? Why don't you sell it at the pharmacy?" Wrong mouth began to come up with ideas.
"Fuck you! You think I'm stupid! What kind of business are we doing? Can we sell it on the street in a fair manner? This sale must not be caught by the officials! Besides, what I want is cash. Yes Gold and silver jewellery! There is a use for this box of broken medicine! Throw it away, it’s unlucky! Leave!” Shuyan snorted a few times, and kicked Ren Yue’s red sandalwood box away, angrily Parted ways with Crooked Mouth.
At this time, in the Zuixian Building, the three adults were tasting two tofu dishes with their eyes closed.
Take a bite of Liu Yidao's golden pagoda, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the elasticity of the tofu, the soft and glutinous taste, all layers are revealed, wait, what is the middle layer!
The three adults opened their eyes without exception.
In the fried tofu, there is actually a small ball of crispy meat stuffing hidden. It is really unique. How did the meat stuffing get in
The surface of the tofu is intact, this meat stuffing? !
At this moment, Liu Yidao looked at the expressions of several adults when they ate the fried tofu he made, from enjoyment to surprise, he couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face.
Hmph, that girl is actually worthy of competing with me? How overwhelmed!
"This tofu is really the most delicious tofu I have ever eaten!" Master Zheng was full of praise.
"Delicious, really delicious!" Master Qian showed satisfaction.
"Even the shape of the tofu is exactly the same! Such smooth and tender tofu is the most rare!" Mr. Sun ate the tofu in his mouth, looked at the tofu still stacked high on the plate, and praised repeatedly.
"Hmph. That girl must lose!" Liu Yidao smiled secretly in his heart.
"My lords, try this dish again!" Seeing the expressions of the lords, Master Qiao expressed his reluctance in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand to gesture for the cloud silk soup made by Wen Rou!
The large spoon divided the cloud silk soup into small bowls. At first, several adults wanted to taste it with small spoons, but they never thought that there were articles in the soup as the spoon stirred it.
One thread at a time, continuous, this is...
