"This Moon-by-Month Festival event is 'Food and Mountains and Rivers', which is a chef cooking competition. Participants sign up in groups, with a minimum of one person per group and a maximum of ten people. For specific time and venue arrangements, please inquire at the registration office."

After browsing the contents of the poster in front of him, Bai Qiyun frowned deeply.

Nothing else, just because the address of the registration office marked on the lower right side of the poster is too familiar.

That's exactly where Keqing's office is.

Doesn't this mean that he still wants to find that woman to sign up?

Bai Qiyun took a deep breath, stopped interacting with the crowd, and returned to the restaurant.

It was after noon, and there were quite a few people eating, but thanks to the custom-made service, the restaurant was not particularly busy even though the private room was overcrowded.

And now that we have a new waiter, there is no need for him to do anything.

Seeing Mona's busy figure coming and going, Bai Qiyun felt that the money was really worth it.

With such an eye-catching beautiful girl as a waiter, unlike those guys with personality problems like Kurumi Keqing, Mona's work attitude is still more rigorous and serious.

It’s not that the first two people are not serious when they work, it’s just that those two guys sometimes suffer from occupational diseases. One grew up in the Hall of Purity, and the other got into trouble for no reason. It’s not a very beautiful scene when you think about it.

"Little boss! You are here."

Mona, who came out of the private room with a plate in hand, saw Bai Qiyun standing in the corridor as if she had seen a savior. She put the plate in her hand on the shelf aside and hurried over.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Mona's panicked look caught Bai Qiyun's attention.

"I finally found you, little boss. The guests in private room No. 2 requested your food."

"Would you like my dish?"

The girl's expression didn't look like she was lying, and Bai Qiyun had some guesses in his mind.

In Bai's restaurant, most of the guests who still come to dine are old customers of Tingyuge.

They shouldn't have no idea who the chef is in this restaurant.

The dishes that can actually be put on the menu and served to the guests are all controlled by the old man alone.

He, Bai Qiyun, is an apprentice. In the words of the old man, he can't get on the table, so he can only work at the service window.

But everything has exceptions. Among so many customers coming and going, there is indeed one customer who is willing to try his cuisine.

"I understand, show me the order."

Taking the order from the girl's hand, the beautiful handwriting on it came into Bai Qiyun's eyes.

Needless to say, Mona's handwriting is quite good. For a foreigner to be able to write Liyue script so well, he must have put in a lot of effort.

"Sweet and sour carp..."

There is only one dish on the list that needs Bai Qiyun to cook, and the rest is still the old man's job.

Sweet and sour carp is one of the signature dishes of Baijia Cuisine. Bai Qiyun grew up eating this dish. When he first came into contact with cooking, he also used this dish to train himself. It is quite aspirational.

Taking the order, I walked to the kitchen, which was filled with smoke. Even with the most advanced ventilation equipment, the hot steam coming out of the iron pot still made the entire kitchen like a steamer, making people breathless.

Beside the stove, the old man seemed not to feel the heat at all, and was flipping the iron pot leisurely.

Fierce fire, fierce oil.

The fragrance was aroused, and Bai Qiyun who walked in couldn't help but take two more breaths of turbid air.

Hearing the sound, the old man glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to stir the spoon.

Bai Qiyun was also used to not communicating much in the kitchen. He walked to another stove and started to deal with the fish in the tank.

The ingredients used for sweet and sour carp are rather particular, and they must be carp from the river that passes by Dihuazhou in front of Bishuiyuan.

Because the water quality of that river is superior and it is nourished by the power of the legendary pure water elves, the fish in it are naturally better than those in other waters.

However, the selection of fish materials changes with the changes in the environment. In the past, the sweet and sour carp from the Bai family was not the fish from Bishui.

It was only because the environment of Bishuiyuan had gradually changed in recent years, and the fish it produced was better than other places, that the Bai family selected it as a supplier of food ingredients.

Placing the fish flat on the chopping board, Bai Qiyun took a wooden stick and hit the fish's head hard.

In an instant, the fish that was still jumping alive in his hand immediately became quiet.

Physical stun is really useful.

While the fish was unconscious, Bai Qiyun skillfully disemboweled the fish and cleaned it, then Bai Qiyun began to make the batter.

The preparation of sweet and sour carp is not complicated. Take the whole fish, cut the fish body with knife lines, wrap it in gravy paste, fry it, and lift the head and tail.

Then pour the specially prepared sweet and sour sauce on top, then take it out of the pan and serve it on a plate.

Thinking about the cooking steps in his mind, Bai Qiyun slowed down the movements of his hands.

As if stroking a lover, his fingertips gently brushed the fish's body, and the strong breath of life just now had become extremely weak.

He could feel the elemental power flowing from his fingertips.

After signing the contract with Yandora, Bai Qiyun's soaring elemental affinity allowed him to have even more perfect control over the ingredients.

He was originally struggling with the heat and cooking skills and could not make any further progress. Now with this almost perverted affinity, he could clearly feel the subtle changes in the elements on it.

"Stab~"

The scalding hot oil made a wonderful sound when it met the cold fish body, and a scent of aroma came to him, making Bai Qiyun squint his eyes.

Hold your breath and concentrate.

Facing the smoke of fireworks, Bai Qiyun closed his eyes.

In his perception, the elemental force of fire mixed with the elemental force of water was constantly flowing in the pot.

Every time the flames advanced, the water wave on the other side subsided a little.

However, Bai Qiyun knew that this was not fire and water in the true sense, but the scene in his mind after the elemental power was condensed.

As the fire rose and the water receded, a rich aroma of oil gradually emitted from the pot.

The fish, batter, and oil temperature have reached a delicate balance.

It's now.

Bai Qiyun took out the fried fish with a spatula and put it aside.

Then, he poured the prepared gravy on the fish.

In an instant, a fragrance filled the entire kitchen, even suppressing the smell of the pot in front of the old man.

"Work together."

Looking at the sweet and sour carp in front of him, Bai Qiyun felt an indescribable sense of pride.

For some reason, he always felt that today's dish was much more successful than before.

Even when he came out of the kitchen, the old man gave him a few glances.

After nodding to Mona on the side, Bai Qiyun pushed open the guest's door.

Sure enough, it was him.

The well-dressed man sat at the table with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.

Wearing eye shadow brings out the gorgeousness and mystery of her body.
