The male protagonist has no heir? Hurry up and get dressed, the pregnant beauty is here to fuck you

Chapter 358: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 723

Qu Xinyue put abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak hide glue, king oyster mushroom, tendon hoof, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop, duck meat, quail eggs, etc. into the earthenware jar in order.

Then add the broth made from the whole chicken and large bones and old wine, seal it with lotus leaves, and simmer it over low heat.

……

While Ruoxue was processing the ingredients, she did not forget to take the time to check on Qu Xinyue and find out more about her.

Although she was very confident in herself, for some reason, whenever she thought about how easily Qu Xinyue agreed to the competition, she always felt uneasy.

When Ruoxue saw Qu Xinyue putting the ingredients into the clay pot in an orderly manner, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It seemed that Qu Xinyue was better at cooking than she thought!

However, after she watched Qu Xinyue's operation with a frown for a while, she suddenly felt relieved.

If I'm not mistaken, Qu Xinyue filled the earthen jar with ingredients, right?

And the variety of ingredients was so great that it was the first time she had ever seen such a large variety. No single dish could require so many ingredients!

Ruoxue raised her lips slightly.

After just one month of learning to cook as a child, she stopped making this serious mistake!

Ruoxue remembered that when she was a child, she also thought that the more ingredients, the better, but the result was a big pot of stew, and the taste...

Even a little bitter and greasy.

Ruoxue had already let go of her worries and focused on cooking her own jar meat, no longer caring about Qu Xinyue's dishes.

Strive to do your best and be determined to take down Yuwen Qingzhou in one fell swoop!

Qu Xinyue had already noticed Ruoxue's close gaze, but she was not worried at all.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has never appeared in this world or era.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was first introduced during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty.

It's normal for people to be ignorant.

……

Time passed by little by little, and the hourglass used for timing had reversed four times.

During this time, some people became impatient and left.

However, everyone didn’t see the results of the competition, so they came back to take a look during the period.

Before I knew it, the sun had already set, the sky was full of beautiful clouds, and it was almost time for dinner.

The shops around lit up lanterns, illuminating the entire street.

Half of the spectators in the teahouse had already left. In Yuwen Qingzhou's private room, the old servant who served Yuwen Qingzhou placed the exquisite dishes carefully prepared by the chef in front of him one by one.

"Master, please use some."

Yu Wen Qingzhou glanced at the food on the table with a dull expression, without any appetite.

"Eat later."

The old servant got an answer that was not unexpected. The young master always said this, and he would only use a little bit when he was really hungry.

Seeing the worried face of the old servant, Yuwen Qingzhou smiled gently.

"Isn't there still a competition stage?"

The old servant had no choice but to clean up the food that had just been served and asked the chef to continue waiting. If the young master wanted to eat it at any time, he would have to make something fresh again.

As for the two dishes on the competition table that Yuwen Qingzhou mentioned?

The old servant shook his head. How many good things could two girls under 20 have eaten? Not to mention how delicious food they could cook.

The young master was just bored and wanted to watch it for fun.

Unexpectedly, my cousin came this afternoon and accidentally revealed his identity while talking, which was heard by a little girl outside the door.

Later, when I saw the little girl going on stage to compete, I knew without thinking that this was a way for this girl to hook up with the young master.

After all, the Yuwen family has been around for hundreds of years and has a lot of complicated connections. Many of them know the young master's identity and want to curry favor with him.

There are also many young girls who want to hook up with young masters by offering to cook delicious food.

But which one succeeded?

The old servant felt that the reason why the young master was willing to stay here and continue to wait for the result was just because of his bad taste.

I want to see those girls’ reactions as if the world has fallen after failing to pursue their dreams.

……

Ruoxue's jar kept making boiling gurgling sounds, accompanied by steam and fireworks, and a rich aroma overflowed from the gap in the lid supported by the steam.

Those who smelled the aroma couldn't help swallowing.

Someone sniffed it hard and muttered softly: You know what, it smells really good.

The discussions were small and subtle, all about how delicious Ruoxue's dishes were.

But no one is optimistic about Qu Xinyue.

Because Qu Xinyue's pot had been simmering for several hours, but there was no fragrance at all.

It would be strange if it tasted good!

When Ruoxue heard the discussions of the crowd, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.

She deliberately looked up at Qu Xinyue and found that she was already sitting on a rocking chair that she had come from nowhere, swaying back and forth and looking at the fire.

The outside of the clay pot was already burnt black, and there was still no fragrance at all. It seemed that Qu Xinyue had completely given up.

Just in time, the meat in the jar was already cooked.

This jar of meat is quite a lot, and she doesn't mind giving some away to win a good reputation for herself.

So, Ruoxue said to the civilian spectators under the Yuhua Terrace who were holding their bowls, eating and waiting for the results.

"The jar meat is ready, but the portion is not big. I can give half of it away later. The portion is a bit small, so don't be upset if you don't get any."

Upon hearing that they could get a share of the food, the spectators, who had already been tempted by the aroma, immediately lit up their eyes.

Nice words come out of my mouth without any charge.

"Miss Ruoxue is beautiful and kind-hearted."

"Miss Ruoxue is so beautiful, the food she makes must be the most delicious."

……

Ruoxue was a little dissatisfied. Although these people were praising her, she did not say a word to belittle Qu Xinyue.

She knew the reason clearly. It was because Qu Xinyue was so beautiful, so beautiful that these people were reluctant to criticize Qu Xinyue.

Ruoxue suppressed the discomfort in her heart, still with an impeccable smile on her face, and opened the lid of the jar.

Suddenly, a richer aroma than the one brought by the steam just now wafted into my nose.

Ruoxue asked the little maid who was serving her to use a big spoon to scoop out some of the meat in the jar and distribute it to some people.

The meat in the jar was shiny in color. When I scooped it up with chopsticks, the soft and tender top-quality pork belly swayed like jelly. The soup was thick and was absorbed by the rice, which aroused everyone's appetite.

Pick up a piece of jar meat with chopsticks and put it into your mouth. The best pork belly is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry.

With a light bite, the soft and tender texture immediately makes the taster intoxicated.

There are also dried beans that have absorbed the gravy. When you take a bite, the juice bursts in your mouth, mixed with the chewiness of the dried beans themselves, adding another layer to the taste.

"Good, good, delicious."

The person who got the jar of meat stuffed his mouth full, with words of praise mumbling out loud. He could only stretch out his hand and give Ruoxue a thumbs up.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he exclaimed loudly: "This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"

Others who had eaten the jar meat also praised it highly.

Ruoxue's confidence increased when she heard this. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the teahouse private room where Yuwen Qingzhou was, full of ambition.

Qu Xinyue saw Ruoxue carrying the prepared jar meat and walking towards the teahouse.

She sighed, the time was still a little short, but it was still easy to win.

It’s a pity that such good ingredients did not fully achieve the best taste.

She also turned off the engine and asked a waiter from Guiyin Pavilion to help carry the earthenware jar containing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and followed Ruoxue.

The two of them entered the teahouse, one in front and one behind, and randomly asked people to taste the food and give their scores.

This teahouse is the largest one in this area. The people who drink tea here are either rich or noble, but at least they are well-funded.

Compared to others, they have seen too much of the world, so their requirements are more stringent and their tastes are more picky.

Ruoxue wanted to go straight to Yuwen Qingzhou's private room, but she was afraid that she would appear to be too purposeful, so she had to suppress her impulse and start from the first floor.

The people in the teahouse had long known that two girls from Yaqing Pavilion and Guiyin Pavilion were competing in cooking skills at Yuhuatai.

Now people are coming in with finished products, and everyone is very interested.

The maids who served Ruoxue in Yaqing Pavilion began to consciously promote the jar meat made by Ruoxue.

"We just distributed some of the jar meat made by our daughter, and it has received unanimous high praise from everyone."

"My daughter learned cooking from the retired chef Yu from the palace. Even he said she has talent."

……

The waiter from Guiyin Pavilion who was helping Qu Xinyue carry the clay pots saw that Ruoxue's maid had not competed yet but was already advertising everywhere and canvassing for votes. He immediately complained to Qu Xinyue angrily.

"Young Master, look at them, this is fair!"

Qu Xinyue was not in a hurry at all. Instead, she asked the waiter to put the earthen jar on the table and then asked him to go find the shopkeeper to borrow a knife.

On the second floor, Ruoxue’s friend, Miss Yunyun, heard the noise and hurried downstairs.

She felt that if she was a taster, she could at least help Ruoxue win a vote.

A group of playboys who often licked Nan Ze were in a private room. They had dispersed in the afternoon, but now they gathered again.

They also wanted to be food tasting reviewers, but they had already voted for Qu Xinyue this morning, so now they could only stare at each other.

Meanwhile, inside Yuwen Qingzhou's private room, the old servant was also reporting the progress to his master in real time.

When Yuwen Qingzhou heard that Miss Ruoxue cooked jar meat, and Qu Xinyue stewed it for such a long time but there was no aroma at all.

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.

"I thought he was so capable, haha, but I don't have much hope, right?" Yuwen Qingzhou chuckled.

At this moment, Qu Xinyue downstairs was using the back of a knife to gently knock open the sealed lid of the earthen jar.

An overbearing and rich food aroma suddenly rushed out from the cracked earthen jar and went straight into everyone's nostrils.

In an instant, the brain seemed to be completely mesmerized by the aroma of the food, and it kept producing a lot of saliva.

I can't control it. I totally can't control it!

The diner who was about to put a piece of jar meat into his mouth, the jar meat on his chopsticks fell into the bowl with a click.

The diner who was giving the rating didn't care at all. He just instinctively stared at the clay jar that Qu Xinyue had cracked open.

The chef who was carefully preparing dishes for Yuwen Qingzhou jumped out from the kitchen, holding a large iron spoon in his hand. His eyes were like searchlights, suddenly fixed on the earthenware jar in front of Qu Xinyue.

"Gudu!"

Whose swallowing sound is so unrestrained???

But no one cared at this time.

Everyone just wants to taste this delicious dish that is emitting a fragrant aroma and making people salivate.

I really can't help it, the aroma of this food is so tempting!

Miss Yunyun, who was walking down the stairs, had a look of surprise on her face and suddenly looked at her good friend Ruoxue.

Ruoxue's face looked not only shocked but also ugly.

She understood instantly that this delicious dish with such a rich fragrance and intoxicating taste was not made by Ruoxue.

Yes, when Ruoxue was practicing cooking before, I had eaten the dishes cooked by Ruoxue.

But never has the aroma been so strong.

In the dandy's private room on the second floor, Ruoxue and Qu Xinyue had agreed on a hairpin that had been thrown to Qu Xinyue in the morning.

This time you will lose the opportunity to vote again.

The rich young men thought that they should just comply with the rules since they had become completely penniless this month anyway.

Even if you want to support Qu Xinyue, you don't have much money, right?

Besides, General Yan and Prince Cang Zhao, who are both so wealthy, have agreed to abide by the rules.

But now, when they heard screams and the overbearing smell of food from downstairs, the dandies immediately howled in dissatisfaction.

What's that smell?

It smells delicious, I want to eat it!

They were all reckless people. They looked at each other and immediately rushed downstairs like tigers out of a cage.

The floor and stairs made such a loud noise from the footsteps that if you didn't know, you would have thought it was an earthquake.

Yuwen Qingzhou was originally frowning and was about to drink some porridge to fill his stomach.

The old servant felt so distressed when he saw his young master drinking the porridge as if he were drinking some extremely bitter medicine.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from downstairs, and along with it came words like "It smells so good and I want to eat it."

The old servant didn't know what was happening. At this moment, the rich aroma of food immediately invaded this space.

Yuwen Qingzhou, who was swallowing porridge with difficulty:?

The hand that was putting porridge into his mouth stopped immediately. He stood up suddenly, with surprise in his eyes. Before the old servant could react, he had already walked out of the private room with a smile on his face.

As soon as Yu Wen Qingzhou went downstairs, he saw that the chef who had passed layers of selection and screening and finally succeeded in becoming his personal chef was now throwing away the big iron spoon in his hand.

And at an unimaginable speed, it rushed past in front of him and came in front of Qu Xinyue.

The fifty-year-old chef has always been steady and often scolds dozens of apprentices like dogs in the big kitchen.

But now he was asking a teenage girl in a flattering manner with a timid voice.

"Little girl, can you give me a taste?" As if he was afraid that the other party would not agree, he shook his body as strong as a bear.

If it wasn't the first time that Yu Wen Qingzhou was seduced by such an overbearing food aroma, he would have covered his eyes and left immediately.

This is really an eyesore.

He must not let anyone know that this chef belongs to him, Yuwen Qingzhou.

Although Qu Xinyue didn't know that the other party was a chef, she saw the desire for food in his eyes and nodded readily.

After getting the nod, the chef reverently used a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of soup from the earthenware jar.

The soup is golden yellow and bright orange.

Before you take a bite, the aroma has already lingered on your taste buds, constantly teasing you.

The chef took a careful sip.
