Chapter 359: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 724
Chapter 359: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 724
Just one sip of the soup made the celebrity chef feel how all the pores in his body opened up.
The taste is rich and layered, the flavor is mellow and complex, and the deliciousness explodes on the taste buds all of a sudden, as if a white light flashed in the head.
The famous chef was stunned. This taste...
He couldn't help but praise: "At the beginning, the aroma of wine was fragrant and went straight into the heart. When it was served, the soup was thick and bright, but thick but not greasy. It was really a feast for the taste buds."
After saying this, he looked ashamed: "I started learning cooking from my master when I was seven years old. I practiced hard for forty-three years and thought my cooking skills had reached perfection. Today, I am fortunate to taste the delicious food and realize my shortcomings. I am ashamed."
Yu Wen Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly as he walked downstairs. It was the first time he saw Chef Fang flattering someone like that.
This made him more interested in the delicious food in the earthen jar.
He walked up to Qu Xinyue and asked, "Can you give me a bowl?"
Other diners also wanted to rush forward. After all, it seemed that there were a lot of ingredients in the earthenware jar, but with so many people present, it was obvious that there would not be enough to share.
But no one rushed forward rashly.
Although the person in front of him looked a little thin and his face looked a little pale.
But for some reason I feel a little bit embarrassed.
Qu Xinyue saw him when Yuwen Qingzhou came downstairs.
This person is really beautiful.
He was wearing a moon-white robe with fine silver patterns, his ink-dyed hair was casually tied up with a white jade hairpin, and his extremely handsome face was wearing a calm and elegant smile.
His temperament is like the bright moon in the sky, so holy, clean and distant.
This kind of beauty is not feminine at all.
By the time Qu Xinyue reacted, she had already handed the other party a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Yuwen Qingzhou took it and thanked him with a smile.
Use a spoon to put the top portion of the fish maw in the bowl into your mouth.
The taste was fresh, tender and smooth, dancing on the taste buds. Yu Wen Qingzhou's eyes lit up and he suddenly had a greater appetite.
Then the sea cucumber was chewy, the shark fin was delicate, the flower mushroom and scallop were fragrant, and the abalone was so delicious that it almost made your eyebrows fall off...
Although Yuwen Qingzhou still maintained an elegant demeanor while eating, it was obvious that he ate faster.
Every bite can give him a feast of taste with different textures, making him unable to help but explore the limit of this deliciousness!
It was the first time that the old servant who went downstairs saw his young master with such an appetite.
The young master actually finished a bowl of food?!
This completely shattered his cognition!
Seeing Yu Wen Qingzhou's satisfied look and the overbearing aroma hanging in the air, the other diners could no longer resist and gathered around him.
You had a bowl, I had a bowl, and the clay pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was soon empty. In the end, there was even some soup base left in the pot, and people were ready to fight.
Yuwen Qingzhou wanted to eat another bowl, but when he saw that it had been shared out, disappointment immediately flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, Ruoxue, who seemed to be forgotten by everyone in the corner, forced a smile, filled a bowl of jar meat, and walked in front of Yuwen Qingzhou.
"Sir, this is jar meat, please taste it."
Yu Wen Qingzhou frowned slightly and took a look at the bowl of jar meat placed in front of him. Although the sauce was thick and the meat was red, it looked pretty good.
But he just couldn't muster the interest.
"Sorry." He uttered these cold words with his mouth turned 37 degrees.
Ruoxue's face suddenly turned pale and her eyes were filled with tears.
Ruoxue's good sister Yunyun doesn't know Yuwen Qingzhou's true identity yet. She can't bear to see Ruoxue being bullied like this, so she suddenly gets hot-headed and rushes between Yuwen Qingzhou and Ruoxue.
She protected Ruoxue and angrily scolded her coldly: "You are such a rude person, you don't know what's good for you. Ruoxue is so humble to you..."
At first, Ruoxue felt very relieved when she saw her good sister Yunyun standing up for her, but when she heard Yunyun's outspoken words, her legs went limp with fear.
He is the legitimate son of an aristocratic family. How could a girl like them from the Yaqing Pavilion offend him?
If Master Yuwen wanted to crush them to death, it would be as easy as crushing a bug.
Ruoxue grabbed Yunyun's arm with one hand and shook her head desperately, begging her to stop talking.
But Yunyun was angry and thought Ruoxue was gentle and didn't want to conflict with others.
She pulled away Ruoxue who was holding her arm with one hand, and said righteously: "Ruoxue, you are just too kind. People like him..."
Ruoxue was really afraid that her best sister would say something shocking again, which would cause her no return.
"Pah——"
In a hurry, Ruoxue slapped Yunyun to silence her.
Yunyun was completely stunned. She covered her swollen face and looked like she didn't recognize Ruoxue.
At this time, the old servant came back with his clothes disheveled and his hair askew, holding a bowl of steaming, rich and mellow Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
"Sir, there's more!"
As he said this, he happily placed the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that he had snatched back in front of Yuwen Qingzhou.
The old servant was visibly delighted when he saw his own master.
It was a rare sight to see his young master having something he liked to eat, and the old servant was very happy for his foresight in grabbing it first.
Suddenly, the old servant saw a bowl of jar meat in front of Yuwen Qingzhou. He frowned and moved the bowl of meat away.
In fact, logically speaking, since Yuwen Qingzhou has tasted the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by Qu Xinyue, then for the sake of fairness, he should also try the jar meat made by Ruoxue.
But Yuwen Qingzhou is such a picky person, and he is usually supported by others. His status and position never allow him to accommodate others and put himself in a difficult position.
Why do you make things difficult for yourself when you clearly have no appetite for jar meat?
The old servant moved the jar of meat in front of Yuwen Qingzhou away because he was afraid that his young master would see food he didn't want to eat in front of him, which would affect his appetite.
But what makes him better than Yuwen Qingzhou is that he can explain.
"Miss, your jar meat is definitely not as delicious as the one made by Miss Qu."
Ruoxue was a little dissatisfied with this statement. Although the aroma could not compare, what about the taste?
Master Yuwen and this old servant have never tasted it, so how can they conclude that hers is not as good as Qu Xinyue's?
Seeing Ruoxue's unconvinced look, the old servant didn't want to waste any more words with her.
He gave a few instructions to a servant of the Yuwen family.
The servant who was ordered nodded and immediately left and returned to the private room on the second floor.
Soon, the servant who had left came back with a food box.
There were seven or eight dishes placed in the food box.
One of the dishes is the same as the one made by Ruoxue, meat in a jar.
Moreover, the meat taken out of the food box has a shinier color and a richer aroma.
The old servant handed Ruoxue a pair of chopsticks: "Try it."
Ruoxue I took the chopsticks hesitantly, picked up a piece of meat and put it into my mouth.
After a moment, Ruoxue put down the chopsticks in her hand in a daze, her whole body in a daze.
The old servant had already guessed that Ruoxue would have this reaction. He laughed and pointed at the jar meat that Ruoxue had just tasted and asked, "Miss, do you think this jar meat is better than the one you made?"
Ruoxue's lips trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes: "It's much better than that."
The old servant nodded: "But even if it is this quality of jar meat, my master doesn't want to eat it."
Ruoxue's head buzzed as if someone had hit it with a sledgehammer.
Until a pair of white hands handed her a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
I came back to my senses from a trance and saw Qu Xinyue's face, which was even more breathtakingly beautiful when I looked at it up close.
"Would you like to try it?" Qu Xinyue asked.
Ruoxue nodded. She didn’t believe that what Qu Xinyue cooked could be so delicious that it would degrade the jar meat she cooked.
Qu Xinyue could see Ruoxue’s reluctance, but so what?
When Ruoxue wanted to step on her to get to the top, the outcome was already doomed.
Bringing Ruoxue a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall now was just to give her no excuse not to pay the bet with the rouge shop on South Street.
The trembling spoon collided with the white bowl wall with a series of crunching sounds. Ruoxue barely clenched the spoon in her hand and put a mouthful of soup into her mouth.
Before she took a sip of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, Ruoxue had never known that a mouthful of soup could have such a rich taste and distinct layers of flavor.
It is the most fatal temptation to taste buds.
Now I understand that cooking many ingredients together does not necessarily result in a bitter taste.
There are also people who can ingeniously blend the essence of each ingredient perfectly together to form a unique delicious feast.
Ruoxue lowered her eyelashes.
"Am I late, General?" Qi Yao's voice sounded with disappointment.
Immediately afterwards, Cang Zhao followed Qi Yao into the room. Although he did not speak, his eyes did fall on the hollowed-out earthen jar.
The dandies who were squatting in the corner and eating heartily, unable to lift their heads, felt their scalps tighten.
Oh my god, didn’t General Yan and Prince Cang Zhao leave in the morning for some reason?
Why are they back again?
The dandies were worried that their act of snatching Buddha Jumps Over the Wall would be known by Qi Yao and Prince Cang Zhao, and that they would be punished by not being allowed to eat any more, so they quickly stuffed the remaining Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in their bowls into their mouths.
It was so delicious that their tongues couldn't wait to swallow it into their stomachs, and nothing could stop them from stopping.
At this time, Qu Xinyue brought out two bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that had been specially prepared for Qi Yao and Cang Zhao and placed them in front of the two of them.
A master at keeping balance.
Qi Yao and Cang Zhao's eyes lit up at the same time.
I thought there was nothing left, but there was a surprise!
At the same time, he felt warm in his heart, because Miss Qu was thinking about him in her heart...
Qi Yao and Cang Zhao both automatically ignored each other and were already immersed in the ultimate deliciousness that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall brought them.
Although neither of them is a greedy person, if there is something delicious, they are certainly willing to enjoy it.
The diners present had already finished their portion of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and they still felt a little unsatisfied.
They picked up another bowl of meat from the jar and tried it.
As a result, because the taste buds of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were too extreme, eating the jar meat now always felt that the taste was inferior and the flavor was insufficient.
The ratings became one-sided.
Ten people make valid ratings (the dude doesn't count)
This included Yunyun from Yaqing Pavilion, who voted for Qu Xinyue. (Yunyun’s problem was mainly a slap in the face. The friendship can be broken at any time.)
Ruoxue's face turned pale, and she felt heartbroken when she thought about losing Yanzhilou.
But with so many people present, including Prince Cang Zhao, General Yan, and Master Yu Wen, she didn't dare to deny her debt.
"Tomorrow I will deliver the key to the rouge shop on South Street and the title deed to Guiyin Pavilion and give them to Qu Xinyue." Ruoxue said unwillingly.
She regretted it so much that she ended up losing the rice instead of the chicken.
She had put so much thought, effort, and coaxed so many customers to build this rouge shop!
As a result, after five or six years of hard work, we are back to the time before liberation.
Yuwen Qingzhou finished the second bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He couldn't believe the empty bottom of the bowl and the feeling of fullness in his stomach.
He looked up at Qu Xinyue who was smiling not far away, his eyes flashing slightly.
For the first time, he had a strong desire to detain someone by his side.
But it's a bit difficult.
It was obvious that General Yan and Cang Zhao looked at Qu Xinyue with different eyes.
That's how men look at women.
There was also Master Nan Ze who left Beijing, and he did not forget to instruct the steward to look after the girl.
Obviously, it was done with bad intentions.
"What do you think about this young master dealing with Prince Cang Zhao, General Yan and Young Master Nan Ze at the same time?" Yuwen Qingzhou lowered his voice and asked the old servant.
The old servant looked at his master in shock.
"Sir, although our family is rich and powerful, it is also because of our family and power. Don't think too much!"
Yu Wen Qingzhou sighed with some regret, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
……
The competition is over and Qu Xinyue is going back to Guiyin Pavilion.
Yuwen Qingzhou gave the old servant a look.
Since we can't take it by force, we can only take it by wits.
The old servant was loyal and immediately went to ask for help with his messy and crooked hair.
"Miss Qu, are you going back to Guiyin Pavilion? Master Yuwen from our family is on the same way as you, and would like to ask you some questions. I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me a favor."
This is very well said.
Not only did he point out the identity of the Yuwen family, but he also asked if they would do him the honor?
When most people hear this, they will simply agree.
Qu Xinyue thought of Yuwen Qingzhou's enchantingly beautiful face and was indeed a little moved. She wondered if such an outstanding man was the one she was looking for?
However, seeing Qi Yao and Cang Zhao's unhappy expressions, Qu Xinyue could only decline politely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Yuwen, but it is really inconvenient today. Please forgive me, Master Yuwen."
The old servant didn't expect that even when the name of the Yuwen family was mentioned, Qu Xinyue was unmoved.
But now General Yan and Prince Cang Zhao are present, so it is difficult to force it.
The old servant smiled, expressed his regret, and went back to report.
After seeing the old servant off, Qu Xinyue immediately heard the same voices from Cang Zhao and Qi Yao.
"I will take you back."
"This general will take you back."
Qu Xinyue: ...It's really a Shura field!
"Why don't we just go back to our own homes?" she said with a dry laugh.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yao suddenly leaned close to Qu Xinyue's ear and lowered his voice pitifully: "It's not convenient for me to let others change the medicine for me, you know."
The hot and humid sound suddenly penetrated into my cochlea. Qu Xinyue shrank back because she was ticklish, which made Qi Yao laugh.
Qu Xinyue raised her head angrily and met Qi Yao's smiling, sparkling eyes.
Even his eyebrows, which usually looked very sharp, seemed softened.
Qu Xinyue thought of Qi Yao's injuries and how he had been pretending to be a normal person the whole day. She suddenly felt distressed. She didn't dare to look at Cang Zhao's eyes anymore. She lowered her head and nodded in agreement.
Cang Zhao put his outstretched hand behind his back, pursed his lips and clenched his fists.
When Qu Xinyue returned to Guiyin Pavilion, she felt everyone's unique enthusiasm.
They all looked at Qu Xinyue's face in surprise and admiration.
"Yueyue, your face is really healed!"
"So Yueyue looks like this, so beautiful!"
"Ahhh, Yueyue, you are so beautiful, I am almost fascinated by you!"
……
Of course, Wanxiang and Yingxiang are not included in this group of people.
The two of them stood a little far away, looking at Qu Xinyue with jealous eyes.
Qu Xinyue glanced at them, then looked away indifferently.
She turned around and looked behind her, then pulled Qi Yao, who had just followed her in, over and said to everyone with a shy look on her face.
"I have something else to do. I'll talk to you guys later."
The girls who were originally chattering suddenly saw General Yan right in front of them, and they all screamed excitedly.
Who could have thought that the day before yesterday they were on the street, throwing hairpins to the young general who was riding a horse and parading in the streets as he returned from his expedition, and now they didn't expect that the man was standing in front of them!
