Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 215
Chapter 215 Regeneration Incident
Imperial Concubine Hua looked at the disheveled chicken feathers floating in the soup, her stomach churning and almost vomiting out.
County princess Hui Ning did not seem to see Hua Fei’s suddenly ugly expression. She only said respectfully, “Hua Fei, please try the dishes.”
Imperial Concubine Hua saw that everyone’s gazes were all on her face, and her expression was unconcealable embarrassment. Her exquisite and beautiful face was green and white, and her pair of clear eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the chicken soup in front of her with embarrassment.
The Eldest Princess sneered, “Could it be that Hua Fei doesn’t dare to try? She wants to throw away our bet, right?”
Imperial Concubine Hua could only clench her teeth and swallow her blood when she saw this. Her slender fingers trembled twice. Finally, she picked up her chopsticks and imitated the way the Eldest Princess had done before. She picked out an extremely thin piece of chicken meat where the Eldest Princess had already opened her mouth. Under everyone’s gaze, it was still placed in her mouth.
However, just as the shredded chicken was put into his mouth, a strange smell rushed towards his nose. Not only that, the taste was so salty that it could drown the bile.
Her bright eyes continued to tear up. She blinked gently and her expression became embarrassed. In the end, she could not resist spitting out the chicken silk. The maidservant beside her immediately handed her tea. Imperial Concubine Hua ignored everything and took a sip after receiving the teacup. She only wanted to dissipate the faint smell in her mouth.
County princess Hui Ning’s face was filled with an instant of embarrassment. Wasn’t it just a chicken? As for eating just like this?
Thinking of the relationship between Hua Fei and Zhou Jingyan, county princess Hui Ning could only swallow the words that came to her lips.
When the Jin Emperor beside Hua Fei saw Hua Fei’s appearance, he naturally knew how the dish tasted. He immediately became somewhat insensitive and respectful. He saw that county princess Hui Ning had already turned around and looked at him. “Uncle, why don’t you try it too?”
The Jin Emperor smiled dryly, his expression extremely embarrassed. “I’d better try again later.”
“Is that so? Could it be that His Majesty the Jin Emperor doesn’t dare to try the dishes?” The Crown Prince of West Yue sneered.
The Jin Emperor’s expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed. “Why would I be afraid? Eunuch Wei, serve me dishes.”
Eunuch Wei immediately went up to pick up a piece of chicken silk and turned around. The Jin Emperor looked at the chicken silk in the bowl and couldn’t eat it for a long time. He swallowed it under the provocative gaze of the Crown Prince of Xi Yue.
He really swallowed it, not chewed it. He chuckled and said, “Huining’s cooking skills are not bad.”
County princess Huining hurriedly saluted and thanked him. Her shocked confidence instantly returned to her, and she invited others to try the dishes together.
After Jin Emperor drank two cups of tea, he felt a little more comfortable. “Let’s give the Crown Prince of Xi Yue a taste.”
Although county princess Huining was surprised, she still walked to the side of Crown Prince Rong Xun of West Vietnam and asked him to try the dishes.
Rong Xun looked at the chicken soup with chicken feathers floating on it and laughed a few times before saying, “The county princess’ dishes today are truly unique!”
After he finished speaking, he did not look at the gazes of the others, nor did he look at the embarrassed face of County Lord Hui Ning. He picked up a chopstick and dipped it in the soup before spitting it out, “Not bad, at least no one will die.”
This evaluation could simply choke a person to death!
County princess Huining really wanted to get angry, but after thinking about this person’s identity, she could only suppress the anger in her heart, her expression extremely embarrassed.
County princess Huining bowed and thanked him. She said word by word and gritted her teeth, “Thank you for the Crown Prince’s approval.”
After saying that, he turned around and left arrogantly.
With the Crown Prince of Xi Yue leading the way, everyone else followed suit. They picked up their chopsticks and poked a little bit of soup to taste it. After a round, County Head Huining’s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.
She walked towards Yun Xiao, who was sitting at the end, and her expression became more embarrassed for a moment. She threatened, “Please try the dishes, Fourth Young Lady!”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a smile. She looked at the plate in County Lord Huining’s hand and smiled. “Alright,” she said. After she finished speaking, she was different from everyone else. She took a sip of chicken and said, “Not bad, it’s cooked.”
When the crowd heard this, they almost laughed out loud.
Under everyone’s attention, since Yun Xiao naturally put down her chopsticks, she took a flower note on the tray with the county princess’ name written on it.
This action caused everyone to burst into laughter again. They didn’t know if Yun Xiao was blind, but this dish was still delicious!
County princess Huining was angered by Yun Xiao’s reaction. Her face was deathly pale, but there was nothing she could do to stop her. “Thank you, Fourth Young Lady.” She turned around and left. She endured the desire to smash all the chicken soup in her hand into Yun Xiao’s face and walked inside.
After a while, Xiao Yuqi had already invited everyone to try the dishes. In the end, only Yun Xiao’s seat was left. She slowly walked over and bowed. “I heard that Fourth Young Lady’s cooking skills are not bad, so I would like to ask Fourth Young Lady to give me some pointers.”
Yun Xiao stared at her smiling face and smiled softly, “Sister Xiao said too politely. Sister Xiao’s cooking skills are the best. I’m just playing tricks.”
The dish Xiao Yuqi cooked was a Gongbao chicken. It was extremely refreshing. The chicken was delicate but not greasy. Its mouth was soft and slippery. There was a faint fragrance of tea in its mouth. Even though it was already in its stomach, its mouth was still full of fragrance.
“Sister Xiao, this dish is not bad. Sister Xiao will definitely come and ask for some advice some other day.” As she spoke, she took a flower note.
“Since the first round is over, then let’s start the second round.” The second round was for people numbered from 21 to 40, and Yun Xiao happened to be in between.
He stood up and walked out. He chose the stove that corresponded to him. He chose the simplest vegetables, cabbage, mushrooms, and other things. Of course, he took the most ingredients. Before Yun Xiao left, he also took a chicken and a small bag of flour. He turned around and left.
Yun Xiao did not look at what ingredients the others had taken. Back in front of her own stove, she first washed the stove. She lit a fire and boiled water. She did not stay idle. She took out the flour and noodles and then continued to treat the vegetables in her hands. When the water was almost boiled, she first put the chicken in the pot. When it was eighty percent ripe, she took out the chicken and removed the water before starting to boil again.
While cooking the chicken, Yun Xiao cut all the mushrooms, cabbage and other ingredients. She began to prepare the ingredients. When the ingredients were prepared, they were all placed in the pot. Not long after, she smelled a fragrance coming out of the pot. However, Yun Xiao did not stop, but continued to cook with a gentle fire.
Yun Xiao first took out the noodles and kneaded them skillfully. Finally, she cut them into small exquisite circles and rolled them out thin. At this moment, the chicken soup in the pot was already very rich.
Only then did Yun Xiao take out the chicken, put it aside, and put the cut mushrooms into the chicken soup to boil.
After observing the heat, he took out the dice and crushed the chicken soup with a special tool. Only then did he put it together with cabbage and stir it with all kinds of ingredients.
Turning his head to look at the incense on the other side, he discovered that half of the incense had already been lit.
Yun Xiao calmly picked up the dough and placed the stuffing inside. After Yun Xiao’s hand modification, not long later, the exquisite animal-shaped buns that were already in the shape of flowers were already on the table.
Yun Xiao looked at the little buns that had just been made, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After wrapping up all the buns with great difficulty, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. She carefully put the buns into the pot. At this moment, the woman beside her was caught off guard. She stepped on the hem of her skirt and smashed straight in Yun Xiao’s direction!
Yun Xiao did not expect such a thing to happen. It was already too late to avoid it. In a hurry, she could only prop her hands on the stove and retreat.
The girl smashed her head into Yun Xiao’s lower abdomen again. As her hand struggled, she knocked all the buns that Yun Xiao had picked up in the pot to the ground, and cute buns rolled back and forth on the ground.
The girl in front turned around to check what was happening behind him and stepped on a small buns.
Yun Xiao held her hand by the stove and narrowly avoided falling. However, the girl who fell in front of her did not have such good luck and fell beside Yun Xiao’s feet.
Yun Xiao looked at the cute little bun rolling all over the ground, her face was deathly pale, how could it be like this?
The woman who was lying on the ground anxiously stood up. She did not have time to look at her luxurious clothes. She looked at the mess on the ground with an embarrassed expression and was somewhat speechless.
“How could this be?” He muttered to himself a few times, and it was obvious that it was still somewhat difficult to accept.
However, when she saw Yun Xiao’s pale face, her expression was embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
She didn’t know why, but just at that moment, a gust of wind seemed to blow on her body. She simply couldn’t stand steadily. If it wasn’t for her, the food Yun Xiao cooked today wouldn’t have been an accident.
Yun Xiao smiled bitterly, “No harm done.” It seemed that the competition this time was already doomed to not allow her to win.
She did not blame the girl who apologized in a low voice. It was only because she fell over that girl and saw the shock and disbelief in her eyes. Obviously, she did not know how she fell.
Since she was innocent, Yun Xiao did not want to blame her.
The more she said it, the more nervous the girl became. “But what about the meals you just cooked? It’s too late to make another one now.”
The meals she cooked herself were also lying on the ground in a messy state. Even if she wanted to compensate Yun Xiao with the meals she cooked, she would not have a chance.
Yun Xiao turned her head to look at the incense table. Indeed, there was only a quarter of the time left.
It must be too late to make noodles again.
She turned around and saw the nine royal chefs waiting at the entrance of Gaotang Palace. When they looked past Imperial Chef Lu, they did not miss the flash of mockery and ridicule on Imperial Chef Lu’s face. His eyes already carried a faint trace of confidence, as if he was already the winner of tonight’s match.
His eyes narrowed dangerously. This matter must have something to do with Imperial Chef Lu!
No, there’s still time! She couldn’t admit defeat so easily! We absolutely cannot lose to Imperial Chef Lu, we absolutely cannot lose to Zhou Jingyan!
Yun Xiao gave the girl a calm expression. She smiled and said, “It’s fine. There’s still time. I’ll think of another way. You go prepare the ingredients you want first.” After all, all the dishes she had prepared had been knocked over.
The girl smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I know my own culinary skills. Since I can’t get first place, I don’t have enough time to prepare in such a hurry. I’ve knocked over all the ingredients you’ve prepared. Why don’t I help you remake them?” This way, she would feel less guilty in her heart.
Yun Xiao shook her head and said, “No need, I can do it myself.” As she said that, she looked at the remaining ingredients on her table again. The ingredients that had been prepared were still intact, and it wasn’t too bad.
