When Su Qingzhi heard this voice, his scalp suddenly felt numb. He didn't buy any pastries anymore. He turned around and was about to run away, but someone grabbed him by the collar and said, "Where are you going?"

Su Qingzhi turned around dumbfounded, looked at the handsome face of the visitor, and called out flatteringly: "Second brother, why are you here..."

"You still know that I am your brother, but you are causing trouble for me as soon as I come here!" The visitor slapped her on the forehead, turned around and saluted Fu Shu: "Miss Fu."

Fu Shu returned the gift, seeing how pitiful Su Qingzhi was being held by Su Yue, and said: "Master Su, your sister did not cause trouble, but brought a lot of business to Tianchengwei. Your Excellency wrongly blamed Miss Su."

"That's it!" Su Qingzhi gave her brother a crutch, and smiled at Fu Shuxiao through the veil with her eyes widened.

Su Yue gave his sister a warning look and said seriously: "The business of Tianchengwei seems to be good. Can we be lucky enough to taste such delicacies?"

It turned out that Su Yue was not alone. The people watching turned sideways, and a large group of people came in. They were all famous gourmets in Li County, including squires, common people, and even the oiran Wan Yue from Wenxiang Garden.

This is the competition rule of the Taste Award Competition. The gourmets of Li County will taste and combine the delicacies of each restaurant to select the winner of the competition. The restaurant that wins the championship will host the official banquet hosted by Su Changting, the magistrate of Li County in January.

.

In addition to the squires of Li County, the official banquet also included county magistrates from six neighboring counties. They congratulated the magistrate of Li County on taking office and discussed the transfer of management between Li County and surrounding counties.

The grandness of the banquet can be foreseen. If it is hosted well, the reputation of your own restaurant will definitely spread far and wide. Why worry about not making money?

Therefore, almost all restaurants that can be named in Li County participated in this delicacy competition.

Not only that, each family regarded this event as a practice for official banquets. Each dish was more exquisite and more complicated than the last. They didn't even think about making money through the temple fair, they just wanted to show off their cooking skills.

This is quite cheap for Fu Shu and the others, as Tiancheng’s main course is several kinds of pastries: egg tarts, original chiffon cake, red date chiffon cake and goat milk biscuits.

Although there are a few big dishes, they are all cooked in advance or cooked cold without affecting the taste. Compared with Zuixianlou where all the stoves are built on the street, it looks much more refreshing.

Fu Shu stretched out his hand to invite: "Everyone, please excuse me."

Su Yue picked up the egg tart that his sister had just praised so much from the hot pot, put it into his mouth and savored it carefully. His eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded and said: "It's really good."

Others watched Su Yue eat it before they started to take action. Miss Wan Yue looked mysterious and ethereal, but in fact she was straight-tempered. She smiled and said: "The Nu family usually likes sweet red dates porridge the most. I smelled the red dates from a distance and wanted to try it.

, is this it?”

Fu Shu saw her graceful posture and sweet but not greasy voice, and secretly sighed at how delicious the fruit was. He smiled and nodded: "Exactly, this is a red date cake, made of goat's milk, red dates and eggs. Women eat it very well."

When I turned around to see Fu Shu's attitude, I was surprised.

When women from ordinary good families saw her, some envied her appearance, but they all envied her and despised her at the same time.

No one would look as normal as Miss Fu's family, just treat her as just an ordinary diner.

She picked up the cake and took a sip, savored it carefully, and said with joy on her face: "Miss Fu, you are truly a strange woman."

"Miss Wan Yue is honored." Fu Shu replied politely, neither humble nor arrogant. There was no contempt or envy on his face. His attitude towards Wan Yue was no different from other guests.

Su Yue ate several kinds of pastries and nodded frequently. Even Su Qingzhi took a few bites of each. She calculated the money she brought today to see how much she could buy.

Most of the gourmets present also thought the pastries were good, delicious and delicate, and much more convenient to eat than those big dishes.

By chance, a few squires who were friends with Li Bingren shook their heads after eating: "Although this pastry tastes good, it looks too simple."

"Yes, yes, this spicy tofu tastes mediocre, far worse than the one from Zuixianlou."

"Exactly, these dishes are cold, how can they be compared to freshly cooked ones!"

Wan Yue curled her lips: "Since you want to eat some hot dishes, why not go to a restaurant to eat directly? What are you doing at this temple fair? Temple fairs only sell these snacks."

The squire flicked his sleeves and seemed to be extremely disdainful: "A woman's opinion! How can these stingy works be promoted to the hall of elegance? How can they put the face of our Li County in the face!"

Wan Yue rolled her eyes and remained silent. After all, she was a woman, and a romantic woman, so her words were naturally not as weighty as those of the country squires.

If others don't know, how can she not know what these people are planning?

Su Qingzhi had just arrived and didn't understand the lawsuit behind it, so he said with a puzzled face: "It's just a temple fair, why do you have to go to the elegant hall? Temple fairs in the capital don't have these exquisite gadgets, how come the Li County temple fair has such low standards?"

So high?"

As soon as these words came out, the squires were silenced.

Although Su Qingzhi is also a woman, she is the sister of Magistrate Su, and no one dares to accuse her of "feminine views."

Besides, what she said was indeed correct, but she just didn't understand that although other restaurants were at the temple fair, their hearts were higher than the sky.

No one dared to speak, but Su Yue laughed out loud: "That's right. Since it's a temple fair, it's natural to make some exquisite and portable snacks and gadgets."

"Master Su, please think twice." Seeing the urgency of the situation, the squire quickly argued: "Although it is a good temple fair today, we are choosing to be the chef for the official banquet in a month. We must not be careless."

"Yes, Mr. Su, although these delicacies are exquisite, they are still small things. Firstly, they cannot show the characteristics of Li County. Secondly, they are indeed too petty. I am afraid that the magistrates of other counties will complain!"

One person's persuasion was reasonable and well-founded, which made several gluttons who were originally hesitant also feel that it was reasonable.

"Joke!" Su Yue snorted coldly: "Building a stove and cooking delicious dishes at the temple fair is a sign of foresight? Then why don't I directly compete in cooking skills? What is the purpose of holding this temple fair?"

"This..." The squire, who had just justified his reasoning just now, was speechless now. They couldn't say that Su Yue made a mistake in organizing the temple fair.

"Idiots who can't even figure out the occasion, are you stupid if I dare to let them hold an official banquet?" Su Yue raised his eyebrows and sneered, not sparing any face for those squires.

Su Qingzhi is the eldest lady, so she naturally doesn't need to pay attention to the intrigues of those people.

She spent money to buy five egg tarts and half a catty of red date cake. She held them in her arms and said happily: "That's right, I think the food at Sister Fu's house is good. It's both delicious and timely. Compared with those who cook and build stoves."

much better!"

Seeing that she had bought so much, Wan Yue felt itchy, so she bought three taels of red date cake.
