Next is the third dish.
Qiao Xiaomai prepared Sweet and Sour Pork whilst Bai Zhi cooked a Braised Civet Cat dish.
The Sweet and Sour Pork was orange-yellow in color, the sauce wrapped around it was as beautiful as crystal.
Not only was it visually appealing, but its taste was even more extraordinary, sour and sweet, delicious!
Yang Ye happily finished the few strips of pork in his small plate, and his eyes once again glanced towards the plates on the stove.
What a pity, there was no more left.
With a hint of regret, he began to taste Bai Zhi’s Civet Cat dish.
Well, it was tender, fragrant and the sauce was thick and glossy, very delicious.
However, he was already tired of this dish, compared to the Sweet and Sour Pork that he had never tasted before, it fell short no matter how delicious it was.
Upon finishing the Civet Cat dish, the fourth dish was served.
Qiao Xiaomai’s Spicy Cucumber was served.
Yang Ye raised an eyebrow, picked up one and put it into his mouth.
Cucumber, it was just too common, he wasn’t overly interested.
“Eh?” After chewing a few times, his eyes widened slightly, he then picked another piece and put it into his mouth, he even brought the plate closer to his eyes for careful observation.
He thought the spicy sauce was Cornelian Sauce, but when he tasted it, he realized it wasn’t.
It was spicy, yes, but it had a different flavor from Cornelian, more importantly, it didn’t have the slightest bitterness.
Only a rich fragrance.
He was quite surprised, brought it slightly closer to his nose, and then smelled it a few times, thereafter, it confirmed his judgement.
Impressive, this rustic village girl really knows how to surprise him.
Bai Zhi’s dish was abalone.
Cucumber versus abalone, it was a fierce comparison.
Yang Ye clicked his tongue, he picked one up and ate it, then wiped his hands, his gaze again fell on Qiao Xiaomai.
After tasting the four dishes, the soup was served.
It was a Pig’s Trotters and Soybean soup. After eating so much meat, having Pig’s Trotters next should be somewhat greasy, yet in reality, it wasn’t.
The soup, soybeans and Pig’s Trotters were all fragrant, one small bowl was simply not enough.
Reluctantly putting down the bowl, the judges began tasting the Shark Fin Soup.
Oh, it was very delicious.
The fact that a noble mistress possessed this level of culinary skill was truly admirable and worth commendation.
Once the soup was finished, it was time for the last course, the dessert.
The headmaster looked at Qiao Xiaomai’s direction with a hint of reluctance. Despite having eaten quite a number of dishes earlier, each portion was too small, the more he ate the hungrier he became!
He stroked his beard and looked at the cake in the plate before him.
The name was simple, but it smelled very good. He picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Unexpectedly delicious, and perfectly suited for an elder like him. Fragrant and soft, amazing!
Yang Ye also subtly nodded, yes, it was suitable for his great grandfather. He was certain he had to have Qiao Xiaomai share the recipe later.
Of course, he would provide compensation.
As he thought this, he finished the cake in three bites and began to taste Bai Zhi’s Pine Nut Lily Crisp.
It resembled a lily flower, very beautiful, and it tasted fragrant and crispy, quite delicious. A few months apart, and Bai Zhi’s skills had undoubtedly improved.
Accepting a handkerchief handed over by a maid, he wiped his hands and the corners of his mouth, then looked towards the audience.
Only the ten judges were seated, everyone else was standing. There were thousands of standing people, those in the front could smell the fragrance and it was clear they were desperately longing, their expressions full of discomfort. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Constantly smelling the various fragrances, yet unable to taste a bite was truly torture!
Those at the back could only see the people and couldn’t smell the fragrance, however, these people were also intently watching the stage. Even though there were no delicacies, there were beauties.. Moreover, the competition between the princess and the village girl was interesting!
