Countryside Romance

The registration location was in an inn under the Gu family's name.

Mu Yun had always been a person who didn't care about clothes. The people around her all knew her personality and didn't say anything. After a long time, she felt that this simple dress was also normal. However, what she didn't know was that the simplicity in her eyes, in the eyes of others, was instead a sense of despondency.

At this moment, the registered shop assistant was sizing up Mu Yun with a face full of disdain.

"This is the registration place for the culinary arts competition, not a place to make soup."

Hearing the shop assistant's words, Mu Yun was a little stunned.

Serve porridge... Relief...

She looked herself up and down and frowned.

I'm not that bad, am I?

"Boss Lin?"

An unfamiliar voice sounded behind her. Mu Yun turned her head to look at her.

"You are?"

She did not know this woman.

"Boss Lin, I'm the chef from the restaurant opposite the Delicious Restaurant." The person smiled embarrassedly, "I always thought your cooking skills were very special, but we were competitors before, so we didn't dare to get too close to you. But now that you're not at the Treasure Hall, I won't be suspected if I talk to you. "

"Oh." Mu Yun felt that it was very strange. She never thought that she would be known by others because of the spoon. Her response contained a bit of a blank look.

"Are you here to register for the culinary competition as well?" The woman continued, "If I were to meet you at the culinary competition, I would definitely benefit greatly from it."

Mu Yun was shocked. She felt that this woman valued her a lot. Since she had come here, her status was always unknown. Even if she opened Lin Ming's dessert, no one would know about it since she did not appear here often. Therefore, the respect displayed by this person at this moment made her feel flattered.

The two of them humbly shared their experiences in cooking before the chef left.

When the waiter saw the rather famous chef use honorifics on Mu Yun, his expression changed and he immediately got Mu Yun to sign up for the competition.

Mu Yun didn't care about the shop assistant's attitude. She just felt that this item was very special and worth talking to Lin Jin Yan about.

At night.

After Mu Yun finished her meal, she went into the house to think about new dishes.

Lin Jinyan cleaned up today's prey and returned to her room. She then saw Mu Yun, who was deep in thought and biting her brush handle.

Lin Jinyan was very surprised by her expression, which was as if she had discovered a rare and difficult problem that only occurred once in a thousand years.

"It's rare to see you meet with a problem, tell me about it?"

Mu Yun raised her head and glanced at Lin Jinyan, then continued to immerse herself in her thoughts. She casually talked about the culinary competition in the town, and complained about how she had made a lot of money after being removed from the Treasure Hall. Her hands didn't stop moving either. She was very busy drawing and drawing.

Lin Jinyan stood by the table and snatched the brush from her with a smile on her face.

"You've really fallen into the trap of money. Don't you have a lot of free time? "Don't tire yourself out."

Mu Yun got up in anger and snatched the brush from Lin Jinyan's hands, but because of the weight of her height, she couldn't get it. Instead, she was repeatedly killed by Lin Jinyan!

"You're really annoying, why are you so tall!"

Unable to snatch it, she paused for a moment before grumbling, wanting to step on the chair to get a brush.

Lin Jinyan saw that she was as stubborn as a cat whose attention was caught, so she could only return the pen to her and tell her to stop her dangerous actions of standing on the stool.

Mu Yun was well-behaved after getting the brush, but she still glared at him.

Lin Jinyan hugged her and whispered into her ear:

"If you don't grow tall and big, how can I protect you? "How can we chase away those vile beings who covet you?"

Mu Yun's ears reddened, and she gave him a light punch.

"Didn't I say that I would make life easier for the Lin Clan so that I could bring Lin Lang back as soon as possible?" No matter how good someone else's house is, it's still another person's house. It's not as good as being related by blood, and I also can't bear to see that little girl suffer in another's house. "

Hearing this, Lin Jinyan's heart warmed.

He sat next to Mu Yun, looked at the dishes Mu Yun wrote down, and said with a smile,

"I've never heard of any of your dishes before. For the head chef of the Lin Family, let's talk about what kind of delicacies are these? "

"The books written by this chef are all divine dishes and immortal products!" Muyun was hooked by Lin Jinyan's slyness. She let out a breath and said, "How could a mortal recognize her?"

Looking at her arrogant appearance, Lin Jinyan suppressed her laughter and asked:

"This commoner truly has a bad eye. Great deity, please give me a few pointers!"

Seeing him act this way, Mu Yun raised her chin and explained one by one.

Lin Jinyan nodded in agreement, but was able to point out some flaws. Mu Yun didn't have the mood to joke around and had a detailed discussion with him.

Although Lin Jinyan didn't know much about cooking, he had often studied medical skills and was also well versed in herbs. When Mu Yun's dishes were more focused on the taste, he could help her improve the recipes and make them healthier. From the looks of it, the two were still complementary to each other.

By the time they came back to their senses, it was almost the hour of Yin. A faint light had already appeared on the horizon.

Lin Jinyan glanced at the exhausted Mu Yun, who had already fallen asleep. She still hadn't put down her pen, got up and picked her up before putting her on the bed. She then also crawled into bed and hugged Mu Yun.

Mu Yun also hugged the person beside her and said good night.

Lin Jinyan smiled and kissed her on the forehead, saying:

"Good night."

For the Lin Family to go all out in preparing, it was a completely different story.

Yan Wu was lying at home with skin disease for a few days. His limbs were tired and weak, but his complexion was much better than when he was just born. It was much redder than when he was just born.

She got out of bed and walked back and forth in the courtyard. She felt comfortable just thinking about how she would soar into the sky in a few days.

Madam Yuan, who had just finished picking vegetables in the courtyard, stood up and saw Yan Wu, so she asked:

"How are your preparations?"

Yan Wu smilingly turned around in a circle, showing Yuan Shi her waist, and said with a smile:

"I've long since been prepared!"

Lady Yuan saw her confidence, so she didn't doubt her words too much. Instead, she walked over, patted her shoulder and said:

"This is an important opportunity, don't play with me."

"How come I don't know what's important?" Yan Wu pouted. "Even if it doesn't succeed this time, I will definitely leave a deep impression on Old Master Gu!"

"As long as you know what to do."

Madam Yuan had always known that Yan Wu had his own way of thinking. Even if he couldn't be sure, he had more ideas than her, so she let him go.

On the day of the culinary competition.

There were dozens of tables on the makeshift platform in the town. The people below the platform did not know what they were doing, and were all whispering to each other.

From afar, it looked very lively.

Mu Yun arrived late.

She had been too excited to sleep last night. If it weren't for Lin Jinyan's constant comforting and encouragement, she probably wouldn't have had the energy to complete the competition today.

There were six judges' tables and chairs on the stage, and one of them was already occupied. It was Ji Ge.

Mu Yun was very surprised to see Ji Ge sitting in the judge's seat.

Ji Ge also saw Mu Yun. He sat down from the table and walked to Mu Yun's side.

"How are your preparations?"

Hearing that he was concerned about her, Mu Yun felt better and replied,

"In terms of culinary skills, I call it number two. No one in this town dares to claim that they're number one!"

Seeing how confident she was, Ji Ge smiled and said,

"Alright, alright, alright. When you win a thousand silver taels, you must treat me to a meal."

"I'll definitely let you bask in my glory!" Mu Yun smiled.

At this time, a voice interrupted:

"Oh, who is this yellow faced woman? Were they here to compete in cooking? Could it be that I remembered wrongly? In fact, the event that is going to be held in the town is the ugly competition? "

Mu Yun turned her head and saw Yan Wu's arrogant face.

For the sake of today's outfit, Yan Wu had put in a lot of effort. Not only had he used up all the money he had hidden in the past few years, but he also pawned all the jewelry that he had never wanted to sell before.

Seeing her standing there with her beautiful and alluring figure, it made one drool at the sight of her slim waist.

Mu Yun couldn't help but frown as she thought to herself: "Is she here for a beauty pageant, or is she here for a competition?"

Seeing that Mu Yun didn't seem to react to Yan Wu's mockery, Ji Ge couldn't help but retort:

"We are in the culinary competition, not the ladies from the Flower Hall fighting for the position of Courtesan Belle. Miss, don't be mistaken." Ji Ge saw that Yan Wu didn't take his words seriously, so he continued, "There are some people who wear simple clothes, but have the skills to hide between life and death, which can also be dug out by others. And there are also some people who are as beautiful as a fairy, dressed in silver and gold, but are nothing more than corrupt zombies."

Giggle finally pointed to what Yan Wu had done.

Yan Wu naturally recognized him. She was furious, but in order to pretend to be beautiful, she had to suppress her anger.

"It was a mistake on the part of the organizer."

Lin Jinyan had also dealt with the problem of selling her prey and rushed to the scene. Seeing Mu Yun and Ji Ge were in a confrontation with Yan Wu, she rushed to the side of Mu Yun to help her wife.

"He clearly doesn't know any culinary skills. How could he participate in the competition? He should have been disqualified when he registered."

Lin Jinyan spoke without caring about Yan Wu's face.

Yan Wu heard this and his face turned red. Since she liked Lin Jinyan, she naturally couldn't bear his criticism. Hearing his words, she gave Ji Ge a fierce glare and then gracefully walked to the middle of the field.

Lin Jinyan turned to look at Mu Yun and asked:

"How are your preparations?"

Mu Yun raised her head to show that there was no problem!

The match officially began.

The one who acted as the timer knocked on the gong which was the starting point of the competition.

The famous senior chef from the town came up on stage and explained the rules of the competition. It was basically not allowed to fake the competition, delay it, copy it and so on. He also said that the final decision was left to Old Master Gu, and that his vote was equivalent to two of the other people's votes.

Because he was a sponsor, no one complained.

However, Mu Yun felt that something wasn't right. When she saw Yan Wu giving Master Gu a coquettish look, she became even more vigilant.

Although she was the one who suggested that Yan Wu should seduce the Gu family's lord, she didn't know that the Chen family's mother and daughter would carry it out, but she had underestimated the degree of shamelessness of the Chen family's mother and daughter. She hadn't thought that they would use this opportunity to do such a thing in front of so many people.

Although she was on guard, she still felt that she wouldn't lose.

Although Old Master Gu had two votes, the others still had five. If he could win their goodwill, he could still claim to be the king!

There were three stages to the competition.

The first step was the simplest: one needed to cover one's eyes and smell the fruits and vegetables, thereby identifying which vegetables and fruits, and to tell the judges what kind of dishes and how to make them; the second step was more difficult, which was to have the judges produce a dish for the contestants to write down. It sounded simple, but it required the contestants to use different dishes and materials, and as long as there was an answer, it would be eliminated immediately; the third step was to actually produce the most prized dish, allowing the judges to taste it, allowing the judges to vote, and ultimately obtaining the top three places.

If the first step was to evaluate the minimum standards of a chef and not to eliminate many competitors, then the second step was to test the chef's creativity and insight, and was also the main dividing line between a typical chef and a progressive chef. The third step was to make the chef's innovations come true.

Mu Yun was very interested in this match. Because of the matter of Yan Wu framing her, even if people were to tell her that she was innocent, they would still leave a shadow in their hearts. She wanted to make Lin Ming's dessert rise in power, and the reputation she had accumulated so far was far from enough. She wanted to take advantage of this competition to sell herself once again.

She was very confident in her culinary skills. However, even though she had experienced the calamity where Shen Lang was imprisoned, she did not learn from it and forgot that the most important thing in a person's relationship is benefit, not your skill or speciality.
