On the second day of March, the weather is clear and windless.

The flower buildings are busy since dawn. They have to transport all the ingredients and utensils to the bank of Chunchou River. The stove has already been set up, and the prepared dishes will be brought to the stage from there.

Su Haoyi slept very heavily last night, but she didn't even have a dream. She returned to Chuyao Pavilion early in the morning, and no one mentioned what happened yesterday.

Only Nephrite asked her: "Have you eaten?"

Su nodded kindly and said, "I've eaten it."

Seeing Youluo commanding everyone to carry things and vegetables, Su Haoyi felt a little apologized from the bottom of his heart and stepped forward and said, "Your Master You, you have been burdened."

Who would have thought that Youluo's posture would be picked up today, and said coldly with one eye, "It's good that you know."

Because everyone is busy, I don’t care about talking. Today I have to serve thirty or forty kinds of food and drinks, and no mistakes can be made in any of them.

As the sun rises, the judges are also present.

But what is unexpected is that the prince of the British came with a lot of followers.

Jiang Ming hesitated a little, and the prince said unhappy: "You sent me a post, don't you welcome me?"

"Of course we welcome it, but the prince will come yesterday, and I was a little surprised when I met today." Jiang Ming said with a smile.

What made Jiang Ming hesitate was not another reason, but the Courtesan Congress stipulated that all judgments must be regular from the first to the last day, in order to be consistent in the judgment.

But he, a small ninth-rank official, could not afford to offend the prince. Seeing that no one was interfering around, he smiled and asked the prince of the King of England to sit down.

In the audience, Dong Qingping saw Su Haoyi and said with a smile: "Su Balang, I heard that someone died in Chuyaoguan last night, it's so unlucky!"

A Ran didn't wait for Su to speak kindly and said first: "The government has already investigated. Whoever is stumbled behind the scenes will definitely be able to pull it out! You don't need to sarcastically be there, just look at whether your butt is clean!"

Dong Qingping smiled and pretended to be generous and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you off stage, it's better to see the high and low on stage!" As he said that, he twisted his waist and went upstairs.

At this time, thirty large round tables had already been placed on the stage, with a sign standing in the middle of each table with the names of each flower building written on it.

It is limited to half an hour, and all dishes on the table must be served. First serve cold dishes, snacks, fruits, then the land fresh, seasonal vegetables, and finally Shanghai fresh.

The front was all smooth, but when the last honey-burned whisk in Chuyao Pavilion was brought to the table, the mistress holding the plate was tripped by someone and lay heavily on the ground.

The plate was broken and the vegetables inside were sprinkled all over the floor.

Su Haoyi watched it on the stage and hurried down.

When asked Uncle Six if there was a way to remedy it, Uncle Six clapped his hands and said, "There are some raw ones, but this dish needs heat and cannot be made in a short time."

"It must be someone who did it on purpose!" said the mistress and annoyed.

"Now, these are useless. You can only prepare the last dish and serve it up, otherwise it will be a loss!" said Wangyu: "Let's think about what to do!"

"There are ingredients, but they all need to be slow-fired. When it is needed," said Uncle Six: "Otherwise, I will cook one of them in a mixed manner, but the style is not enough, and I am afraid it will not be in the eyes of judges."

Su Haoyi and others were naturally anxious. At this time, Hai Qingqiu and Zhang walked in and asked, "Why haven't the last dish been served yet?"

Su Haoyi hurried over and briefly explained the incident.

After hearing this, Hai Qingqiu said, "This is easy to deal with, as long as it is in the water."

Then the opponent said to his subordinates: "You go to Yueshui Ghost's boat on the other side to get a newly-catched red-haired carp!"

The subordinate agreed, and soon he brought a lively red-tailed carp weighing more than three pounds.

Hai Qingqiu took the fish and placed it on the chopping board. He used a kitchen knife to remove the scales in a few seconds. The cleansing was completed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was stunned by the side. Su Haoyi was not very surprised because she had seen Hai Qingqiu cook before.

The leader of the Hai Gang changed the two sides of the fish and asked someone to cook a pot of hot oil early. The oil pan flipped flowers. Hai Qingqiu held the fish gills in one hand and held a spoon in the other hand to pour the hot oil on the fish repeatedly. After a while, the fragrance of the fish floated out.

Wait until both sides of the fish are covered with hot oil and the tail is curved and can stand on the plate because of struggle.

Then, boil the oil and thicken it, and pour the sauce on the fish, less than a quarter of an hour.

What's even more amazing is that after the dishes were ready, the fish was not dead yet, and its mouth was opened and closed.

Hai Qingqiu took a cherry and put it on the fish's mouth, and said, "Please be careful and don't fall again."

This dish was delivered to the stage safely without any delay.

Su Haoyi bowed his fists and sincerely thanked Hai Qingqiu: "Brother has really helped me today! In ancient times, there was a slaughter of a ox, and now you cook carp, all of which are the style of a general, and the way is in it!"

"What's wrong with it? It's just a skillful thing! Go on stage quickly!" Hai Qingqiu said cheerfully.

"Thank you, thank you! I will definitely come to thank you another day!" Su Haoyi said and hurriedly went on stage.

Looking around, the mats in Liangxiaoyuan and Chuyao Pavilion are the most abundant and beautiful.

The Liangxiaoyuan was also very real. At this time, we could get fresh lychees and loquats, which were obviously obtained from Danan and even overseas.

At this time, the Prince of Ying took the lead in putting the golden flowers in his hand on the table in Liangxiaoyuan before he moved his chopsticks.

His meaning was very obvious, and he was supporting Liangxiaoyuan.

Seeing this scene, Su Hao immediately understood why Dong Qingping was so arrogant because he was supported by the British Palace.

Quan Qingshi and Sima Lantai put the golden flowers in their hands on the table in Chuyao Pavilion almost at the same time. The difference is that they tasted the dishes in Chuyao Pavilion.

The others looked at each other and understood. It seemed that today they were deciding between Liangxiaoyuan and Chuyaoguan.

To be fair, these two companies are equally matched, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom. It is not against your will to choose either company.

But now it is about the backings between both sides. The young master of Lantai is nothing but a gentleman. He will never pursue it.

But Quan Qingshi and the Prince of England have to weigh the pros and cons. These two people, one is the royal prince and the other is the commander of the Baiya Guard, and they are not easy to mess with.

But even if you make a decision, you have to make a decision.

In the end, most of the people who had no real jobs invested in Liangxiaoyuan, while most of the people who had official positions invested in Chuyaoguan.

There are still a few people, and neither of them voted, but they voted for other families, probably because they thought that both sides would offend them, but they would not offend anyone.

In the end, there were 281 flowers, Liangxiaoyuan, and 129 flowers, Chuyaoyuan.

At this point, with yesterday's competition, Chuyao Pavilion only had twelve more golden flowers than Liangxiao Garden.
Chapter completed!
