The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 196 Cooking Competition

Since eating the loving meal that night, no one present was spared and all were almost hospitalized. However, they were all stubborn and unwilling to admit that it was caused by the food and poor physical condition. After recuperating at home for a period of time, they were healthy and it was not simply a food problem. However, they never dared to let Luzai, Zheer and Luo Huaian cook for them again, even if someone gave them instructions.

I don’t know if the elders were on vacation during those days, otherwise they would have had to stay in the medical cabin.

After the recuperation, everyone was too bored and afraid that the deer cub would get sick again because of Xi Ling, so they invited their friends to help. By the way, they came up with this idea to enjoy the food and dispel the shadow brought by the dark cuisine.

(They all agreed that the last time the falcon got sick was because of Xi Ling.)
"Due to an accident, this program has been suspended for a few days and will resume today. Today's guests for the cooking competition are Fox Huahua and Zhu Youyou. Let us warmly welcome them."

The host Luo Huaian looked at the script in his hand and thought, "I'm almost late."

In short, he refused to admit that his cooking skills were inferior to those of the deer cub, and the dinner he had that day was the source of his sleepless nights in the past few days.

The competition venue was at Luzai's home. When Luo Huaian and the other two heard that there would be fun things to do and delicious food, they took advantage of their vacation to come to Luzai's home.

The microphone was manually rolled up, the script was handwritten on the spot, and there were no cameras or various video and audio equipment.

After the applause, the judges were introduced.

"We use an opponent scoring system. The contestants compete in pairs, with a total of three groups. The opponents are determined by drawing lots. The winner will have the final competition with Dalin. During the competition between the two, the others will serve as judges of the competition. Luzi and Zheer are special guests and can taste all the food without having to participate in the competition."

"Next, please invite the special guest to speak and choose the topic for our first game!"

Feng Qingmeng and Lin Yuanke were mere spectators, and occasionally they would act as assistants, helping out and preparing ingredients.

The ingredients are donated by all the contestants. In fact, they are all taken from their own kitchens and are completely clean. Anyway, the elders will bring the ingredients to Luzai's house and prepare and cook together. It is common to have occasional meals together.

It was lively and lively with so many people around. They had been best friends and gay friends for almost a thousand years. They had lived and died together countless times. In their hearts, they had already regarded them as family members, no different from each other.

Not only Zhe'er and his friends have bedrooms in Luzi's house, the elders also have them, but the children don't know about it. Xuan Meng is a frequent visitor and treats this place as his own home.

If other people must be at Luzai's house a few days a week, they will regularly hold pajama parties and night story sessions with Sister Ci, and it is common for the sisters to get together and chat, and it is also common to have candlelight talks at night.

Xuan Meng grew up in Luzi's home and was always with Sister Ci. They went back to Sister Ci's hometown together countless times. Every time Sister Ci went on a business trip, she wanted to go with her or send her to other people.

They were childhood sweethearts and spent every day together when they grew up.

Or it would be more accurate to say that he was on high alert. Xuan Meng was afraid that someone would snatch Sister Ci away, especially during the time when he and Su Su, Hong Yi and others had just met and started working.

Laughter and joy, no matter how much time has passed, even if a thousand years have passed, the friendship between the elders still shines brightly.

This is true for the elders, and naturally so for the children.

As special guests, Fold Ear and Deer Cub thought for a long time and finally chose soup as the appetizer, and specified that the soup must complement the noodles.

The kitchen was semi-open, but with the help of Hu Sui and the others, it became open and fully transparent. The dining table was moved to the side of the island and adjusted to a consistent height. Except for Hua Hua and Sister You, everyone else sat around waiting for the delicious food to be ready. The main feature was that the production process was transparent and the food could be eaten right out of the pot.

After hearing the topic, everyone couldn't wait. It was past noon and it was time to eat.

"Do the two guests have any requests?" Luo Huaian asked.

The folded ears and the deer cub said no.

"The topic of the competition is noodle soup. Contestants please prepare twelve servings and make sure there is enough for everyone present. The first rule of the competition is to prohibit waste." Luo Huaian was too greedy, so Feng Qingmeng took over the role of host.

Luo Huaian walked over to Zhe Er and Lu Zi and sat down, and the three of them whispered.

"I'm so lucky. Thanks for the invitation, sister."

"You're welcome. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have thought of doing this. By the way, what is Dalin's specialty? Let her make it during the finals."

The deer cub hesitated: "Is this considered a shady deal?"

"Don't count it. Do you think there is something shady in our competition?" Luo Huaian said frankly.

"That's right." The two agreed.

The original intention of holding the competition is to satisfy the desire for food, so there is no chance of any shady dealings.

She was full of confidence: "I am good at everything, but my best skill is making pastries."

The topic himself came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Ah!" Luo Huaian was startled, and even Lin Shilu and An Zhe'er looked at Dalin and complained: "You walk silently."

"You are too focused." Dalin was speechless. Besides, the three of them were talking quite loudly.

"Come, sit here." Siyuan waved and called out, there was an empty seat next to him.

While everyone was chatting, Sister You and Huahua started to prepare delicious food.

Luo Huaian was not idle either. He wrote down the subsequent procedures into a script and placed it on the island counter after finishing it.

Appetizers are meant to be eaten with rice.

Huahua washed the cabbages separately, and used them to make soup as the soup base. He planned to conquer their taste buds with its light and sweet taste. Although the first dish should not be heavy, according to his understanding, the key point is to make targeted toppings, and scoring afterwards is not a problem.

He mainly uses three types of noodles: Beijing-style shredded pork noodles, hot and sour chicken noodles, and three-fresh bean sprout noodles, with cabbage vegetarian soup as the base, which is perfectly suitable for all tastes.

While the soup is cooking, he prepares various topping ingredients. The toppings should be prepared when the noodles are cooked. For those who like a strong taste, they can mix pork and egg white, and marinate them with various seasonings such as pepper.

The egg white is used to marinate the chopped pork strips, and the egg yolk is used to knead the dough, so that the noodles are chewy.

Huahua and Qiye are both good at making different kinds of dim sum, and Huahua is not only good at pastry making, but also has top-notch knife skills.

On the other side, Sister You quietly watched Huahua's various preparations. It would be bad if they bumped into each other. She had not yet decided what type to do, and had no intention of challenging the other party in the field that Huahua was good at.

"On a hot summer day, some appetizing and cooling noodles." She thought it over again and again, then walked to the refrigerator and took out the appropriate ingredients, including the peach jam that she had made not long ago.

A bowl of cold noodles is undoubtedly suitable for this hot summer.

Huahua makes a lot of toppings, and Youjie is no less popular, and the production process is equally complicated.

Two hours later, both sides finished their work.

Three different toppings are placed on a plate and placed on the table. The noodles are cooked in vegetarian soup, which makes them chewy and have the sweetness of cabbage.

"You can choose what you want to eat. In addition to the vegetarian cabbage soup, you can also choose other soup bases."

That being said, only the cabbage soup base and three kinds of toppings were carefully prepared, while the rest of the soup base was almost non-existent. Huahua put the seasonings in front of everyone and they could mix them themselves.

"Eat his first, then try mine." Sister You put the prepared noodles into the bottom layer of the refrigerator. The noodles she made needed to rest for a while before the taste could reach its peak.

Everyone stopped hesitating and started to serve noodles, add soup and choose toppings.

Shao Shao’s first choice is Beijing-style shredded pork noodles. He always eats the noodles and then drinks the soup.

Siyuan was the exact opposite. He scooped up a little soup and tasted it: "This soup is so delicious!"

We selected some of each topping, including Luohuaian, Zhe'er, Deer Cub, and Qingxuan. They are not picky, they want them all.

Sister You and Huahua chose chicken offal, which was sour and spicy and appetizing. Qiye followed suit and it was never a bad idea to follow the chef.

Feng Qingmeng, Siyuan, Linyuan and Dalin prefer lighter flavors. They chose three-fresh bean sprout noodles with cabbage soup base. The mixture of the two is so fresh and fragrant that it is beyond words.

Halfway through the meal, Dalin walked towards the kitchen and before standing up asked, "Is there anything you want me to bring?"

Lin Yuan, a Chinese cucumber lover, did not hesitate: "I want cucumber slices."

The rest of the people were so immersed in the delicious food that they couldn't help themselves. They had been waiting for a long time and were already starving. The food was so delicious, why would they need anything else?

"Are sliced ​​cucumbers delicious?" Siyuan asked hesitantly as he sat next to Linyuan.

Lin Yuan explained: "This soup base is perfect with cucumber slices, but you have to eat it while the soup is hot."

"Then I want one too?" "Okay." After confirming the need, she picked up the clean cucumber slices, and in a moment, the cucumber slices covered the plate.

She grabbed a handful of cilantro and walked out of the kitchen with a plate full of cucumbers. Siyuan and Linyuan ate and talked together. Sure enough, the taste of the soup base changed after adding cucumbers. Shao Shao also wanted to add some. Linyuan pushed the cucumber in front of him. The cucumber trio.

Dalin sprinkled cilantro into the bowl and continued to eat noodles contentedly. Noticing An An's gaze, he asked, "Why, do you want some?"

Luo Huaian shook her head and refused. Even after so long, she still didn't understand why some people liked to eat coriander. She didn't understand it, but she respected it.

People who like coriander think it can add flavor and flavor, while people who don’t like coriander feel like they are eating soap.

"Will the soup really taste good if we add cucumbers?" Zhe Er and Lu Zai looked at the three people eating happily opposite them, and asked An An and Qing Meng in their ears.

"We don't like to eat it anyway." They said in unison.

Qing Meng said: "You can try it, taste a few bites first, and then decide whether to add it or not."

Seeing that the two were so determined, the deer cub and the folded-ear cat erected their invisible ears, and the cat became curious.

"Can you tell me?"

"Since I was a child, my brother always adds cucumbers to the dishes and soups whenever he cooks." Qing Meng said sadly.

"Have you ever eaten dumplings with cucumber flavor?" An An still dares not recall it, she said.

"That's terrible." He finished eating the toppings and noodles, and the cabbage and cucumber in the soup were almost finished. He picked up the last cucumber in the bowl and tasted it carefully. After being soaked in the vegetarian soup, it tasted even better.

After a while, he drank the soup in one gulp, satisfied!
There were not many cucumber slices left in the dish. Qingxuan was quick to pick up the dish and put the cucumber slices into the soup, and he was satisfied.

He was really curious about what it tasted like.

Huahua and Qingyou know too well what it feels like to eat the same dish made with the same ingredients n times. This is how they first practiced their cooking skills by making basic dishes.

Lin Shilu and An Zhe'er had almost finished eating and didn't really want to add cucumber because they were more interested in gossip.

During the break after the meal, Sister You saw that they didn't want to move but still wanted to continue eating. In order to finish eating in the best taste, she said considerately: "Don't worry, you can eat the cold noodles I made later."

Xuanmeng Realm has special insulation boxes that can be placed alongside medical cabins. Almost every household has one, and they come in all sizes. As long as the food is covered after it’s out of the pot, it can keep its taste as it was when it was first out of the pot. The insulation and freshness can last for up to more than a month.

Two minutes later, Sister You checked the time and took out the cold noodles and put them in a heat preservation box. She said, "Don't eat the hot noodles immediately before eating them cold. It's not too late to eat them after half an hour."

"Why don't we play tabletop games? We can have noodles after a round." Zhe Er suggested. She had bought a lot of tabletop card games a few days ago. The more people there are, the more fun it is.

This proposal was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

After a simple cleanup, they went upstairs and played Werewolf in the second-floor lounge. Everyone originally wanted to play a role-playing game, but the minority obeyed the majority.

The rest area on the second floor is more elegant than the one on the first floor. In simple terms, it is more cozy, greener, and has many green plants.

If the first floor is where children often play together, then the second floor is the secret world of the elders, with fabric sofas and a small balcony, which is as cozy as possible.

While people are having fun upstairs, the elders are back downstairs.

"It's so hot today!" Su Su complained. Her strength was limited, and without unlocking, she was no different from an ordinary person. "If I had known, we would have stayed at home together, eating popsicles and watching TV shows together."

"You can't say that." Lin Xiang covered her mouth and laughed. Lao Ye, Si Zhui and Ji Zhi, the three people in charge of getting things, were so tired that they couldn't speak.

Xuan Meng even took the opportunity to lie on Sister Ci's shoulder, looking weak and unable to take care of herself.

"Let's go into the house quickly and see if there's anything delicious in the refrigerator." Sister Ci had a hunch that there must be a surprise. They walked to the courtyard and entered the range of the barrier, and found that the third, fourth and fifth floors, which were usually hidden, were opened.

At this moment, they were not too surprised to see the big changes in the furnishings in the living room. The three of them put down their bags, and they were motivated when they heard Sister Ci's words.

Xuan Meng rushed to the front line, shouting and taking: "Come quickly, come quickly, there are cold noodles!"

In the end, only three of the twelve bowls of cold noodles were left.

A bowl of cold noodles dispels the heat.

"What a great craftsmanship. It's filled with peach jam cold noodles. I'm in for a real treat today." Xi Shi looked very happy.

"It must have been made by the children. It tastes so good. I feel that the previous heat has dissipated with this bowl of cold noodles." Su Su commented. Qingyou also added some ice cubes of different flavors and edible mint to the bowl when making it to ensure that it was refreshing and cool.

"Or we can eat the remaining three bowls as well." It was Ji Ji who said this.

"I agree!" Pingqing and Sizhui echoed.

Xuan Meng remained silent. While the others were still immersed in the happiness of eating noodles, he quickly took one of the remaining three bowls, handed it to Sister Ci, and whispered, "Eat quickly!"

Sister Ci smiled, gave half of the noodles in the bowl to Xuan Meng, and quickened her eating speed.

Linxiang said, "The children cannot eat cold food, why don't we serve them instead?"

"That's right." Hong Yi also said, "I just happened to bring a gift. If I find that the noodles are gone, I can make up for it."

"Well, A Ci and I will go wash the dishes first." Xuan Meng saw that they had almost finished eating. Before they noticed that there were only two bowls of noodles left, she prepared to pull Sister Ci to hide in the kitchen.

Now there are two bowls left out of the three bowls. Sharing them among seven people, it seems not enough no matter how you look at it, even though it is a large portion.

The deer cubs upstairs don’t know that the cold noodles are gone.

He disappeared in a flash.

Soon, several people looked at the only two remaining bowls of noodles and rushed to grab them.

In the end, they were deadlocked and decided to split it equally.

The main thing is that I’m afraid that when the children come down, they will find that the noodles are gone but the bowls are still in their hands. This would not be very friendly and they might not be able to eat the two bowls.

Later, when she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Xuan Meng thought of a solution in a hurry. She remembered the handwritten script she had seen earlier and said, "Don't worry, don't worry!"

She quickly found the script left on the island, "Look, the kids are going to play this. It should have already been played once. We are eating the noodles from the first round. There will be a second and third round later, so we don't have to worry about running out of food by then."

Everyone looked at each other, "It's not impossible."

Xishi, Linxiang, Susu and Hongyi all took out food ingredients from their personal spaces at the same time. Isn't this a coincidence? They had just obtained some top-quality ingredients a few days ago and now they came in handy.

Jizhi, Pingqing and Sizhui were even more in sync with each other. They tried to destroy all traces of the fact that they had eaten cold noodles. Although they thought about working together to make another bowl, the taste was really impossible to restore. If they were not careful, they would end up making things worse. Then they would definitely be excluded from the tasting list of the judges of the competition.

It would be better to destroy the body first and then find the right time.

The elders’ skills are no less than the children’s, but their creative ideas are inevitably not as good as those of the teenagers.

"What's written on it?" After destroying the evidence, everyone studied the handwritten script.

"There are 12 people in total. Zhe Er, Lu Zi, An An, Lin Yuan, and Qing Meng are not participating in the competition. It seems that they are divided into three groups, competing in pairs. Hua Hua and Qing You are the first group. Qing Xuan and Si Yuan are in one group, Qi Ye and Shao Shao are in another group, and then the winner will compete with Da Lin in cooking skills."

The elders knew about this competition. Naturally, they would not sit idly by and watch. They had to try it to satisfy their cravings.

"The kids have really grown up. Why don't we lend a hand?"

"Why don't we just pack the ingredients?"

"The kids must be good cooks, and the person who is their opponent in the final must also be a good cook."

"No problem. You can't see the rainbow without going through the storm."

"This is a competition. It would be fairer if both sides give their scores, right?"

The elders smiled at each other, and everything was self-explanatory.

There are some personal opinions mixed in, I want to support the couple and the best friends.

The elders: Hongyi, Sizhui, Cijie, Xuanmeng, Linxiang, Jizhi, Pingqing, Xishi, Susu
