marrying a concubine

The chefs and maids of each restaurant are at their positions, all the materials needed are ready, and they are waiting for the competition to start.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, every year in the competition, Fengjia Restaurant and Yuelai Restaurant stand in the east-west direction, facing each other far away, and they are full of energy to compare with each other.Fengjia Restaurant and Yuelai Restaurant entered the finals every year, and the other restaurants seemed to have green leaves lining red flowers.But the enthusiasm is very high and they are willing to participate. The culinary skills are the most important. This is an excellent cultural heritage of the food festival.

The referee entered the arena, and seven referees took their seats one after another. The only difference was that Xiu Wang Xiaowei took the seat with Xiu Wangfei. The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, looking very affectionate.

Feng Haitang and Liusu looked at each other, just smiled, and Xiao Cui whispered in Feng Haitang's ear, "Miss, she won't cheat? Are you deliberately suppressing our Feng family?"

"Xiu Wang is the referee, not her. What are you afraid of?" Feng Haitang doesn't care. What kind of tricks can a food festival make? , don't worry.

"Miss, that's not what you said. Men, when they go to bed, their ears become soft. When the wind blows by the pillow, come on, the man's head is dizzy." .

Li Li shook his head, getting angry when he saw her face like a crow, Abi turned his face away coolly, and said calmly: "The men who are present here, don't take their seats."

Mo Li Xuanbei glared at her, the old god Abi shrugged his shoulders on the ground, this girl's mouth is much more vicious than Xiao Cui's.

Xiaocui smiled lightly, saying yes again and again, and Liusu smiled indifferently, "I don't care, sister Xiulan will do her best."

Feng Haitang's quiet gaze swept over Jun Wuhuan who was opposite, just in time to see him smiling, she hummed heavily and turned her face away.

Guo Yi, the prefect of Fengcheng, stood up and announced the official start of the food festival competition. Guo Yi was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with handsome features, a very decent appearance, and a slightly fatter figure.His voice was a little hoarse today, and as he finished speaking, the salute was lit, and the food festival officially started.

The cooks and cooks in various restaurants began to prepare the dishes. Apparently, there was a burst of oily smoke, and the people watching from the outside also boiled with the oil in the pot, discussing who will win the championship in this food festival. The lineups of Fengjia Restaurant and Yuelai Restaurant are the most eye-catching.

In recent years, every year in the food festival, either Yuelai won or Fengjia won the championship. No matter in terms of connections or strength, other restaurants have lost a lot.

The audience was bustling with excitement. The chefs and chefs from all over the world showed their special skills, and the aroma of things wafted from the arena, making people's stomachs jump out one after another. The gorgeous lineup is even better than all the years. , is really a feast of delicacies.

The magistrate and Xiu Wang on the stage whispered to each other, chatting and watching the excitement below, with smiles on their faces, very satisfied with the festive atmosphere.

This kind of large-scale competition is not uncommon, and there are people all around, and there are people on the higher attic nearby, in order to witness this annual feast.

Each cook and cook is assigned two thugs, and they are very busy. The sound of a spatula frying can be heard in the arena, which is very lively.

Li Xiulan prepared fried stuffed pig's trotters instead of sweet and sour red carp.

"Susu, is this the first time you've seen such a scene?" Mrs. Feng asked with a smile while holding her hand.

Liusu nodded. The customs are different in different places. There is no such lively competition in the capital. This is the first time for her to participate in such a lively competition. If it was before, she would never have thought about it.

"Susu, your mother once represented our Feng Family Restaurant in the competition, and won a championship." Haitang laughed at the side, and Mrs. Feng's craftsmanship can be said to be hidden.

"Really?" Liusu was surprised, she had never heard of this.

Mrs. Feng waved her hand and said, "It happened 20 years ago. At that time, Feng's restaurant was just opened, and the scale was very small. It is no different from what it is now. There are so many masters. My craftsmanship is out of date."

"Mother, you're being modest." Liusu said with a smile, while the three of them were talking, when the gongs and drums rang, there was only a bang, and the sound was heard for several miles.

The first round is over.

The chefs and maids of more than a dozen restaurants held their freshly baked dishes and served them to the guards who passed the dishes, because the plates used in each restaurant were labeled, so they were not afraid of misidentification, and they were all served during the competition. The dishes of the competition are even more recognizable.

The exquisite dishes were passed up one by one, and passed in front of the referee one by one. Everyone was very satisfied with the taste and nodded one after another. The dishes are exquisite and the aroma is elegant.

There is no doubt that Yuelai Restaurant and Fengjia Restaurant entered the finals, and the major restaurants still lost. Li Xiulan's fried stuffed pig's trotters and Yuelai's pineapple eight-treasure nutritional soup won the victory.

The announced results were already expected by everyone. The family was happy and the family was sad. Some were excited and some were disappointed. The situation got out of control for a while, and some people couldn't say anything even if they were unwilling.

It was almost noon, and there was an hour-long intermission, and it was decided to play again later. It was Yuelai Hefengjia Restaurant for the final, which was better than the morning preliminary match.

"My lord, is your throat still uncomfortable today?" During the break, King Xiu asked Guo Yi with concern. He didn't talk much today, and he sounded hoarse and deep, but his expression was not too bad.

Guo Yi shook his head, and said helplessly, "I've been on fire for a few days. I listened to your words. After drinking herbal tea for a few days, there is no serious problem. I think it will be better soon. Today I feel much refreshed."

"That's good!" Xiu Wang smiled gently, with a relaxed look in his eyes.

Guo Yi smiled heartily: "I would also like to thank the prince for the herbal tea, otherwise, the officer's throat will burn for a few more days."

"It's just a little effort, my lord don't need to thank you." King Xiu smiled lightly, being gentle and polite, Guo Yi invited the couple to have lunch in the mansion, which is very close to the Guo mansion, and they will participate in the finals in the afternoon.

People from Yuelai Restaurant and Fengjia Restaurant all went back to rest for a while, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and it was not too late to watch the fun after dinner.When the show was over, people from various restaurants came up to congratulate the two heads of the Hefeng family. Watching their two fights was already an annual must-see.It's just that this time the person in charge was replaced by Susu, and Tassel couldn't adapt to such a scene for a while, so Feng Haitang helped to block it.

Jun Wuhuan hugged her chest, and said coolly, "Miss Feng, there are only two of us left."

Feng Haitang calmly corrected: "Young Master Jun, I was wrong, it is Fengjia Restaurant and Yuelai Restaurant that are left."

Jun Wuhuan let out a sigh, nodded lightly, and there was a charming smile on the corner of his lips, "The final dish of Fengjia Restaurant is sweet and sour red red carp, right?"

His voice had a deep meaning, as if he was saying that you are destined to lose, Feng Haitang pursed his lips in disdain for this kind of certainty, "It seems that every time the Feng family decides on a dish, Young Master Jun can guess it, I admire you, yes so what?"

"It's not good, we must win this time!" Jun Wuhuan smiled brightly, and left with a large group of people.

Feng Haitang stared fiercely at his back, as if wishing to gouge out a piece of flesh, Liusu tugged at her sleeve, "Auntie, don't be angry, sister Xiulan will win."

"Yes, miss, I will do my best!" Li Xiulan said firmly, confident in her cooking skills.

Mrs. Feng also came up to persuade Haitang, she and Jun Wuhuan are really enemies.

After everyone went back to rest, they gathered again in the arena an hour later. It was even more lively in the afternoon. Compared with the crowds in the morning, it was not inferior at all, which showed how much people paid attention to this game.

After the cannon was fired, the most eye-catching finals began.

Feng's family is the sweet and sour Chidan carp that has never appeared in the competition, Li Xiulan's best dish.But Yuelai unexpectedly used not their signature dish, but the most common one, beggar chicken.

Even Feng Haitang was slightly taken aback, what the hell is Jun Wuhuan doing?Actually use beggar chicken?

"Isn't it?" Abi's mouth opened and her cheeks twitched, "Xiao Cui, punch me, you read that right?"

Xiaocui smiled lightly, "That's right, it's a beggar chicken."

Liusu didn't quite understand why Yuelai chose beggar's chicken. This dish was very ordinary, and it was inferior to Feng's family in terms of momentum. He saw the smiles on the faces of the Liu family couple on the stage, and he had a flash of inspiration, and whispered, "Mother, aunt, it's not that the Liu family likes beggar chicken very much, right?"

That's two votes.

Feng Haitang looked towards the referee's stand, and stared at Jun Wuhuan with almond eyes, only to see him whistle gracefully.

Xuanbei said in surprise: "Young Madam, you are really too smart. That's right, the Liu family is famous for their love of beggars. Someone once entrusted Bingyue Palace to investigate the details of the Liu family. I remember this. I heard that they got married because of beggar chickens, so it seems that these two votes are not destined for us."

"Master Jun is too treacherous. Every year, the votes of the Lius and his wife are the decisive votes. Whoever they vote for is the champion. In addition, King Xiu has a feud with us, so he will definitely not vote for us this year. In this way, The chances of winning are even smaller. Miss, isn’t Young Master Jun clearly against us to the end, what’s in his mind?” Xiao Cui was a little bit aggrieved, Jun Wuhuan’s mind is really incomprehensible to ordinary people, who obviously loves Feng Haitang so much , but desperately against her.

Feng Haitang snorted heavily, and said angrily: "Let him alone!"

The onlookers booed and clapped their hands. It was very lively, and the arena boiled like boiling water.

The recipe for Beggar's Chicken is a bit more cumbersome. Li Xiulan made the sweet and sour Chidan carp first, and presented it quickly, and then Yuelai's cook also finished it.

The prefect Guo Yi tried it first. The sweet and sour Chidan carp was excellent in both aroma and color.

Next is Xiu Wang's attempt. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to try...

Surprised, protruding.

"Ah..." The magistrate Guo Yi suddenly covered his stomach, his face twisted, his eyes stared like round bells, he fell to the ground with a plop in pain, and knocked over the teacup and tea set on the table...

The cheers stopped...

Feng Haitang, Liu Su and the others stood up in a swish, and even Jun Wuhuan frowned deeply.

"My lord, my lord... quickly call the doctor..." King Xiu's voice was urgent and fierce...

There was chaos on the stage, and a dead silence off the stage.

Guo Yi's face was contorted from the pain, and his whole body twitched. Before the doctor came, he straightened his body and died...

"My lord..." Everyone on the stage panicked.

Liusu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, feeling that something terrible was rushing towards her.

"Your Excellency is dead..." King Xiu stood up in horror, turned around abruptly, and pointed down coldly, "Come here, arrest the cook and the person in charge of Fengjia Restaurant!"
