The Splendid Life of the Female Supporting Role

Qin Zhiyue looked at the proud heroine in front of her, her mind went blank for a moment, because if the plot progresses normally, Jin Yuanyuan should be about to enter the palace as a concubine at this moment .

After all, the original male protagonist was Yuan Zhong, the emperor of the Dajing Kingdom. He had known Jin Yuanyuan in the eighteenth year of Qinghe. Later, he often went to eat meals prepared by Jin Yuanyuan. Therefore, love grew over time, until the 22nd year of Qinghe, Man Guohong pretended to accompany him to marry him into the palace, a female cook became the emperor's favorite concubine, and even envy all the Kyoto women.

But at this point in time, it should be the time to prepare for the big wedding, why did this guy come here to compete with her in cooking?

Qin Zhiyue had a hundred question marks in her heart, and stayed there for a long time without making a sound.

"Aren't you afraid?" Jin Yuanyuan put on her hips when she saw this, "If you're afraid, then you go to the tallest outpost in front of Anrenfang and say that Qin Zhiyue's cooking skills are not the same as yours. It's not as good as Jin Yuanyuan! Get out of Kyoto in the future!"

Qin Zhiyue's thoughts, which were still thinking, were instantly pulled back by Jin Yuanyuan's words. She frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy in her heart.

At this moment, the diners in the restaurant haven't left, and she can't argue with Jin Yuanyuan. After pondering for a while, she said lightly: "It's early spring, the weather is still cold, advanced Come sit down for a while?"

Jin Yuanyuan: "Ah... ok, ok."

Jin Yuanyuan, who had already stepped into the Zhiyue Restaurant, realized only after realizing it, why did she follow her in so obediently! ?

She glanced lightly at the layout of Zhiyue Restaurant. Seeing its simple decoration, she couldn't help but sneer. She thought, how can a restaurant like this make diners feel comfortable and taste delicious food?

Of course, when she saw a group of diners eating deliciously, and a few people were still chatting happily, she instantly felt a little unbelievable.

A good dining environment, shouldn’t it be the first step to enjoy food…

She hurriedly shook her head, thinking that she couldn't be fooled by the current scene, the comparison between cooks should be based on craftsmanship, not on how other people's stores are decorated, which violates the challenge rules.

"Why are you challenging me?" Qin Zhiyue asked Jin Yuanyuan to take a seat, and then poured her a cup of warm tea.

The faint scent of tea lingered on the tip of her nose, Jin Yuanyuan sniffed, and then said firmly: "To prove that I am better than you."

Qin Zhiyue was a little puzzled: "But strong or not strong, it is not the result of comparison, especially the food, everyone's preferences are different, naturally the chef's craftsmanship The positioning is also different.”

"You're right, I agree with this." Jin Yuanyuan took a sip of the fragrant warm tea, with a hint of mist in her eyes, "Then I have to prove that I am better than you. powerful."

This is her pride and her dignity as a chef with a golden knife. She has to let the man of the 9th Five-Year know that Jin Yuanyuan is the most powerful female chef in the entire Dajing Kingdom. , only what she makes can enter his mouth and know his stomach.

Qin Zhiyue pinched her fingers secretly, and after a long while she said softly: "Okay, I accept your challenge."

She didn't want to have any intersection with the original hero and heroine, but now Jin Yuanyuan came to the door herself, no matter what Jin Yuanyuan thought, since the plot has reached this point, then she will It is even more necessary to prove that, as a supporting actress, she is not always inferior to the heroine.

So, the news that the chef Jin Yuanyuan of Le Ming Ju and the owner of Zhiyue Restaurant Qin Zhiyue are going to challenge the cooking skills spread like wildfire.

The location of the cooking competition is set at Le Ming Ju, because the place is relatively large and can accommodate a lot of diners to come to judge, although Boss Song is very displeased, but after all, it was proposed by his own cash cow Even if you cry, you have to agree.

In the spring of March of the 22nd year of Qinghe, a game that excited the whole Kyoto started at Le Ming Ju.

Liu Yuzhang, Lin Wanfu, Zhenxi King, and Zijuan are naturally not absent, but what I didn’t expect was that the current emperor, Yuan Zhong, came along with Liu Yuzhang.

He looked handsome, and when he took the seat with his hands behind his back, there was a faint smile between his brows and eyes, as if he inadvertently swept his eyes to Qin Zhiyue and Jin Yuanyuan, and then said: "I just Come join in the fun with Uncle Huang, you can play as usual, you don't need to pay attention to me."

Qin Zhiyue: You are such a big living emperor sitting on it, no one pays any attention to you.

"Take this game seriously." Qin Zhiyue frowned and recalled her careful thought, "You can't make delicious food with this look."

Jin Yuanyuan gave her a dark glance, then returned to her place and began to choose the ingredients.

Since it is a fair competition, then the dishes that two people want to make are naturally the same. All the diners who came to Le Ming Ju have considered and selected together, and the final decision turned out to be shrimp dumplings.

There are many ways to make shrimp dumplings, but when the name of this dish came out, Qin Zhiyue was still a little hesitant, but when she looked up, she saw that Jin Yuanyuan had already started to turn over the basket to choose the right one. of live prawns.

I'm in a hurry.

Qin Zhiyue was still in a hurry, waiting for Jin Yuanyuan to finish her selection, then she went forward to fish out more than half of the remaining live shrimp, and then went back to wash the shrimp in an orderly manner, The head and the shrimp line are removed, and the shell except the tail of the shrimp is peeled off, leaving the whole shrimp meat with large and full flesh.

After making four shallow cuts in the abdomen of the shrimp, you can set it aside for later use and start mincing the pork filling.

It's time to start making the dumpling skins.

No matter what kind of cuisine she cooks, she always looks indifferent, her brows and eyelashes are slightly quivering, and she looks at the delicate woman who is like a weak willow and wind, but the movements of her hands do not stop at all, kneading the dough. , twisting agent, rolling skin... The movements are done in one go, without any slack.

The diners couldn't help but admire that Mr. Qin is not only beautiful, but also beautiful when he cooks!

Sweat dripped from his forehead in a hurry.

In terms of temperament, Boss Xiao Qin has definitely won.

Yuan Zhong supported the armrest of the upper seat slightly, raised his eyes to look at Qin Zhiyue with a deep meaning, then retracted his eyes and yawned slightly, and said to Liu Yuzhang in a tired voice: "Your Majesty Uncle, what do you think of this Qin Zhiyue?"

Lin Wanfu was also asked the same question, and he asked Liu Yuzhang again.

Liu Yuzhang squeezed Zijuan's soft little hand, and immediately replied softly: "Miss Qin is very good, but she is not suitable for entering the harem."

Yuan Zhong's thoughts were bluntly spoken out, and he was a little uneasy on the face, but he was the uncle he was extremely afraid of, and he didn't dare to answer anything, so he could only ask again Said: "What did the uncle say?"

"Qin Zhiyue is not as hypocritical as His Majesty thought, she is very accurate in matters of right and wrong, and she understands the will of the people better." Liu Yuzhang's voice was still light, " If His Majesty really admits her into the harem, or if you want to declare her into the palace as the royal chef, then the people who have been served by her and benefited from her will definitely not agree."

Liu Yuzhang stroked Zijuan's little hand to comfort him, and continued: "Your Majesty naturally knows that water can carry a boat and capsize it. What's the point of having her in the palace?"

Yuan Zhong pondered for a moment.

Liu Yuzhang is right, he does not dare to take Qin Zhiyue into the palace.

After a while, he sighed lightly, and the uncle in his heart really poked his heart, and after a few words, he almost made him feel that he was a little unreasonable just now.

That's all, since this little Qin boss is also quite beneficial to the capital, let her stay in the folk, the big deal... Often let her cook for the palace banquet!

Yuan Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately drew up the content of the imperial edict.

At this time, Qin Zhiyue, who was still making dumplings, had no idea what day, in which month, in the next few years, she would enter the palace to cook.

She just concentrated on wrapping the dumplings with the shrimp tails exposed, making the whole dumpling look like an enlarged version of shrimp, which really deserves the name "Shrimp Dumpling".

Another quarter of an hour later, the dumplings were placed in the pot, and the hot steam climbed upwards, gradually carrying a faint fragrance. The diners stretched their necks and smelled it. Each scent has its own characteristics, and for a while they really don't know which one is better.

After an hour and a half, the hourglass runs out and the cooking time ends.

Qin Zhiyue unhurriedly fished out the dumplings from the cauldron, and everyone saw that there were four plates! One plate is naturally served to the emperor and the king, and the other dignitaries are served on the side, and the remaining two plates are distributed to the diners present.

At first glance, the diners saw that there was a lot of meat, which was indeed the consistent style of Xiao Qin's boss!

On the other side of Jin Yuanyuan, she seemed a little petty, and only made 20 dumplings, and there was still some surplus for two plates. Obviously, they did not bring out the diners. that one.

In fact, this is normal. After all, when Jin Yuanyuan was in Le Ming Ju before, all the dignitaries were entertained, so the things she made must be beautiful and delicate to look at and pleasing to the eye, so As a result, the dishes she cooks must be small and small.

Then, there is nothing to choose from without the diners, and it is not to listen to the opinions of ordinary people.

However, Qin Zhiyue still gave the diners a similar act, and still made everyone present a little moved.

Moon has already won.

The two dumplings were placed in front of Yuan Zhong and Liu Yuzhang. With just one glance, the two were already attracted by Qin Zhiyue's share.
