Chapter 111 Tomato Dragon Fish Soup

这时，沁儿忽然想起来了，她是在哪里听过“斗味馆”三个字。
晌午从当铺巷里出来，她与小念见到了众人围观求取“回天令”的告示，人群里有一古怪老人，给了她一封“金铲子”大赛的邀约函，地点就定在天河街的斗味馆。
If you win the competition, you can get fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to two months' salary of a county magistrate.
In this regard, Ren Xiaonian is determined to win.
They need money, they really need it.
"Who's afraid of whom? At that time, we will definitely make that Kang Shifu guy bow down to my sister Xiaonian." Qiner patted her chest and made a promise.
"Then let's wait and see." Shangyou's mouth curled up with a playful smile.
In his memory, Kang Shifu is the best chef he has ever seen, not only in Daju City. However, this extraordinary girl, Ren Xiaonian, also leaves a big impact on his taste buds. What's more, she is very young, only sixteen years old. How great is her potential? It's really hard to say.
Aside from the highly anticipated Squirrel Osmanthus Fish, most of the main dishes for the seafood feast are ready, except for a pot of seafood soup.
Ren Xiaonian looked at the enormous fish tank and decided to use the delicious and slow-cooked Dorado to make a pot of soup that won't easily get old.
She first prepares complex ingredients such as tomatoes, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, ginger, salt, oil, pepper, cooking wine, chicken powder, and cornstarch. Then she peels and cuts two dragon fish into chunks and marinates them. While frying the tomatoes in a pot until they become soft, she pours in a suitable amount of water and brings it to a boil. Then she adds the marinated fish chunks, along with various seasonings and condiments, and continues boiling.
During this break, she took a breath and rested her arms.
Indeed, it's tiring!
Back in the Coco Island country, she was only responsible for cooking for Princess Seven, how could it be like today, where she has to prepare a table full of dishes?
Her small body couldn't bear it anymore. But it wasn't over yet, she still had two vegetarian dishes and a finale dish to make!
"By the way, there's probably something you don't know."
"What's the matter?"
On the side, Shang You started chatting with Qin'er.
It is said that these two people had already met on the cruise ship, but they had no particular impression of each other and didn't even exchange a word. But now, when they arrived at Xue Yuanwai's mansion, they seemed like a pair of happy enemies - arguing and competing with each other, finding joy in the process. The bond between people is truly strange and wonderful.
"The annual cooking competition at the Dueling Arena requires an invitation to participate. Since you don't have an invitation, you can only attend as an audience member. However, if you give me some money, I can help you find someone to get you an invitation." Shang You, true to his money-driven character, calculated the cost of this deal, "The cost of paper, ink, pen, and money for the invitation, plus a handling fee, and my hard-earned money..."
"No-need-to!"
Qin'er took out the "challenge letter" from the peculiar old man who gave it to her and proudly held it up in front of Shangyou, shaking it. She wished that this letter could turn into a huge mirror to blind his dog-like eyes.
"Hmm, where did you get this from?"
Shangyou raised his hand to grab the "challenge letter" in order to verify whether this invitation was real or fake.
However, how could Qinger let him succeed?
Just then, Xiao Nian lifted the lid.
After boiling, a pot of tangy and sweet appetizing tomato and lemon fish soup is ready.
