The next day, the Xishi Emperor’s Oath Arena.
Ye Qing stood on the field with a slight tiredness, opposite Christie who was still wearing a bright white coat.
Although he had already seen His Highness Xiang Yu standing in this position, Ye Qing could really feel his nervousness when he stood up.
And that real sense of powerlessness and despair.
Ye Qing even believed that even if he had to have a real fight with Christie, even if the opponent was invincible at the Linglong Heart Sky Realm, no matter how ineffective he was in deploying the Hengtian Formation, he would still have the destructive power of the Ziwei Realm. Not a small chance of winning.
At least it has a better chance of winning than cooking.
If it were in the past, Ye Qing's cooking skills would still be a strong point that she was very proud of. For a long time, this was the only thing she could do at the Late Summer Friends Club. But after seeing how perverted Christie was, , Ye Qing's self-confidence was indeed shattered.
As for why Ye Qing was a little tired, it was because Ao Xuehua spent the entire night with her trying out the dishes. Although Ge Sheng also wanted to help, he still had Ao Xuehua's magical tongue.
Yes, although President Aoda's own dishes are often dark dishes, she is unique in food appreciation, which in a sense makes people admire her.
The title of the third oath is Baidu. As the name suggests, it is a variety of methods of the same concept. From a small perspective, it is a different form of a material. To a larger scale, one dish can also be used to adopt more production methods. Just remember the method and it is in line with the theme of Baidu.
Even though he said he was powerless and felt helpless and despairing in his heart, Ye Qing's body still honestly produced the best dish he could make so far, or in other words, many dishes.
Although I dislike Christie in my heart, one thing must be admitted. Christie's preparations for the competition are absolutely top-notch. The arena where the tool modules were changed again has completely become a top-notch kitchen configuration, whether it is the stove or the knives. , and even the auxiliary pots, pans, steamers and grills are of the highest quality that Ye Qing has ever come across, and even far exceed the configuration of the canteens of Ye Ye College.
As for the ingredients themselves, although they are said to be provided by Xishi, if you think about it, you will know that they are still made by Christie. One thing Ao Xuehua is right about is that Christie is not interested in tampering with the ingredients as long as you list them in advance. The list of ingredients is absolutely the best in terms of freshness, variety and appearance.
Ye Qing took a deep breath and took one last look at Christie in the distance, only to see that she still didn't know what she was busy with. She looked very busy, but until she finally finished, you would never know what she was doing. Do something like yesterday’s weird yet deliciously subversive chewy tea.
Ye Qing shook his head gently, shaking all the complicated thoughts out of his mind, and looked seriously at the stove in front of him. She skillfully poured a bag of snow-white flour on the chopping board, formed a crater with her hands, and placed it on the table. Pour water, salt, and egg whites from the egg yolks into the pit. After mixing evenly, start kneading the dough rhythmically.
Under the playing field, Ge Sheng looked at Ye Qing, who was skillfully kneading dough, and sighed: If no one pointed it out, who would believe that this girl who was cooking was actually the youngest princess of the Lanye Empire.
"Is there any chance of winning?" Ge Sheng asked. He was not present when Ye Qing tried it out last night, so he didn't have a basic understanding of what she was doing like His Highness did yesterday.
"Maybe half." Ao Xuehua thought about it carefully and said, "If Tina is not too extreme, and if Ye Qing can understand that unspeakable method, the winning rate can even be raised to about 50%. But your girl is a deadbeat, and she probably wouldn’t do it even if she thought about it.”
Ge Sheng nodded slowly and suddenly looked at Ao Xuehua: "By the way, Sister Xuehua, have you ever eaten the food Tina made?"
"I have eaten it before." Ao Xuehua tilted his head and recalled carefully: "But that was before she took off her disguise. Although the food she cooked at that time was much more delicious than mine, but how delicious it was. Not really. As for her current level, it is impossible for my insiders to enjoy such an honor. They can only guess through some means, but at least I know that in terms of cooking skills alone, she can probably really beat everyone. world."
Ge Sheng listened quietly, and after Ao Xuehua finished speaking, he spoke softly: "I have eaten."
Ao Xuehua nodded: "I know. When you and Tina returned to the Palace of Black and White, Tina personally made a family dinner for you and her parents. If other circumstances are not ruled out, it should be Tina's highest priority. It’s a good display, how does it taste? I’m looking forward to it, can you share it?”
Ge Sheng was a little surprised: "There were only four of us present at that time, how could you know?"
Ao Xuehua looked contemptuous: "You are stupid. Even if there are only four of you here, Aunt Stella and Uncle Noct were exiled later and even I couldn't find them, but it doesn't mean that I don't know What are you doing? Do you think that such a big black and white palace does not need to be cleaned every day? Do you think that the two heavenly realm experts have been responsible for cleaning the house in the past three years? Your imagination is too rich. Come on, you don’t have to rely on Croft’s reliable internal staff to clean and take care of it. On that day, if you step on the front foot, the back foot will be blown away. And those reliable internal staff will check for traces when cleaning, even if they say there is nothing they can do. I’ll outline all your activities like Tina did, but it’s still clear what you did roughly.”
Now it was Ge Sheng's turn to look contemptuous and disgusted: "What a 'reliable' insider. Is it true that your conscience won't hurt if you engage in intelligence like this?"
Ao Xuehua did not answer directly, but smiled: "Otherwise, how could it be something under the sun? What about the taste? How does it taste?"
Ge Sheng recalled it carefully and said seriously: "If you just simply evaluate the deliciousness, it will be a bit perfunctory after all, but using the rhetoric of subverting the concept that you have repeatedly mentioned before, it always feels a little inappropriate."
"Let's put it this way." Ge Sheng carefully considered his words: "The dishes she cooks are more like a kind of fairy."
"A living spirit."
"It can bring out the maximum deliciousness of the ingredients, and at the same time, it seems to present a taste that is closest to your imagination according to your taste. It can even be said that when you see this kind of dish, what do you expect it to taste like? , that’s what it tastes like when you taste it in your mouth, the only difference is that, without exception, it’s more comfortable and delicious than you imagined.”
"If it were to be named, I would prefer to call the dishes she cooks goblin cuisine."
The moment Ye Qing raised his hand, Christie's hand also belatedly raised.
It seems that there is some kind of tacit understanding. From the first Emperor's Oath, the party who completes it first will default to waiting for the completion of the other party within the specified time. Initially, Xiang gave this goodwill, and then Christie made this Give kindness back to others.
But this time Christie's work is much simpler, not as strange as the previous chewing tea.
What she served were six metal sealed cylinders. Different from the previous slender metal cylinders for chewing tea, this time the cylinders were relatively flat, like larger rouge boxes.
Ye Qing's side was relatively simple and crude. She presented six rather large ceramic trays, which were covered with metal domes, making them look more solemn and formal.
But relatively speaking, Ye Qing's side is indeed much larger than Christie's side, both in size and weight.
"Who comes first?" Ye Luan looked at the works of both parties and said calmly, without any hint of favoritism because the one in front of him was his sister.
Ye Qing sighed and raised his hand: "I'll go first. If she comes first, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to compare."
Saying this, Ye Qing took the plates and presented them in front of the judges one by one. Due to the little accident that happened to His Royal Highnesses before, this time both sides made six portions in a tacit understanding, leaving one extra portion for the competitors. Taste your own creations.
Christie looked at the tray Ye Qing brought to her and smiled calmly: "Don't expect me to thank you."
Ye Qing curled his lips and said: "I have never thought about it that way, okay, I just thought about eating the food you made later. If I am too tasteless, I will look down on myself, but the fact that I don't like you will not changed."
Christie's smile was as bright as a flower: "We are each other, and I have never liked you, Princess."
Saying this, Christie stretched out her hand to lift up the huge metal cover and looked at the alluring aroma and white mist emitting from inside. A smile of surprise and expectation appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Oh, that's it."
Ye Qing curled his lips and said, "Just laugh as much as you want. Anyway, I don't have such a perverted talent as you. I can only do this with all my strength. I originally planned to give up on myself and just make noodles, but Sister Xuehua dissuaded me." Then I reluctantly gave up and made this thing."
Christie shook her head quietly with a faint smile: "No, I didn't mean to laugh at the princess, but just like the Third Highness, I like your hard work and I feel very sorry."
"This is not sarcasm. Although I understand that it is indeed similar, I am sincerely sorry. Although not all efforts in this world can bring rewards, sometimes the reason why they are not rewarded is just because I blasphemed. Your determination, so sorry."
Saying this, Christie reached out to pick up a bone toothpick placed next to the tray, reached out to pick up a small, exquisite and crystal clear shrimp dumpling, took a small bite with her teeth, then reached out to dip some sauce in the center of the tray, and then put it Put the whole shrimp dumpling into your mouth, lower your head and feel the taste carefully, then slowly look up and smile: "It's delicious."
Ye Qing was a little unhappy: "Is it just delicious?"
Christie nodded: "Aren't there only two types of food evaluation: good and bad? If you complete a complex dish without making any mistakes, you can give a good evaluation. If the dish is above the average It has many highlights, so it can be rated as delicious."
"And the reason why I say your dish is delicious is not only the taste, but also because you really worked hard, princess."
Christie said this, and at the same time reached out and picked out a fried dumpling with jade chopsticks, rolled it with sauce, turned around and put it in his mouth, his smile became even sweeter: "And after making so many, the level remains quite stable, really. It’s really great stuff.”
Ye Qing was a little unhappy: "When you praise me like this, do you feel that you have already won?"
Christie looked at Ye Qing's somewhat sad expression and couldn't help but laugh softly again: "Her Royal Highness is indeed very cute. It's a pity that we don't like each other. Otherwise, maybe we would have become very good friends."
"Whether I win or lose, I'm not sure. The reason why I praise you is because this dish really suits my taste. After I tasted it, I felt it was delicious. It has nothing to do with anything else. As for the evaluation, it is your dish or mine." The food tastes better. This is not my business, but something that the referees need to worry about. "
"I'm just a simple eater who happened to eat something delicious."
At the referee's table, Ye Luan said with a smile: "Yes, this is the first time I agree with Her Majesty the Queen's opinion. It is really delicious. This is enough. Besides, Xiaojiu, you have made so many things." It’s all delicious food.”
Ye Qing's face turned slightly red. No matter how much Christie praised her, she could remain indifferent. She only felt that the other person was mocking him, but when Ye Luan said the same words, it was completely different.
After all, in Ye Qing's memory, this stern sister rarely spoke above average to him.
Ye Luan looked at Ye Qing's face that was instantly covered with red clouds, and smiled sheepishly: "You are so lawless when you laugh, and your tail will rise to the sky when you give a compliment. Of course you can't help others, but Xiaojiu now, no matter how No matter how much praise you receive, I think I can bear it."
Saying this, Ye Luan then reached out and picked out a soup dumpling with chopsticks, gently bit open the skin as thin as a cicada's wings, carefully sucked out the delicious and fragrant soup inside, and then dipped his hand in a little vinegar and chili. , put it into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face: "What did I say? It tastes much better than what I made."
At this time, Carrots asked: "Well, Her Majesty the Queen, the dishes you cook don't seem to be very heavy. Is this true?"
Christie could see Carrotes' evil intentions at a glance, but he didn't reveal it. He smiled and said, "This time it is as you can see, but the portion is not much. You can open it and eat it first."
Carrots couldn't help but cheered and shouted: "I made a wise choice by not eating in the morning." At the same time, he launched the final charge in front of his opponent in front of a whole tray full of dumplings.
Yes, Ye Qing's last choice of dish was dumplings.
To put it simply, it is a hundred ways to make dumplings.
As a reserved girl, Ye Qing finally chose to leave it blank, so he only placed ninety-nine dumplings with different fillings, different workmanships, and different cooking methods on this huge tray, just like a blooming sunflower. In the center of the flower plate, nine equally divided circles are used to present sauces of different flavors.
And this is what Ye Qing does.
It is also the best she can do.
