First, more.
… …
"Senior Sister Qing, if you don't hurry up, I'll finish cooking, but I don't think you'll finish cutting your vegetables!"
Qin Fang had already noticed Cai Qing's movement. When he was cutting the vegetables, he deliberately showed off a few tricks, but what he got was only Cai Qing's disdain. Such flashy tricks were indeed not very meaningful.
"Hmph …"
Cai Qing would not be polite to Qin Fang. She ignored Qin Fang's words and just lowered her head to continue with her work. This cold snort was just to express her disgust and hatred for Qin Fang.
Qin Fang didn't care about that. He didn't discriminate against such an impeccable woman with a perfect appearance and figure, but her sexual orientation was different from that of ordinary people. He only felt it was a pity.
The two of them each took one side and did not interfere with each other. Even if it was cooking, it was still done by one person. Each of them prepared three dishes before they were done.
After that sentence, the two of them didn't even look at each other, let alone pay attention to what the other person had cooked. After every dish was cooked, they would immediately cover it up and send it to the courtyard, placing it in front of Cai Pingyuan.
The two of them did not know the specific taste of the other person, but from the faint fragrance of the dishes, it was not difficult to see that the other person was very skilled.
The dishes were ready. Cai Pingyuan had been watching coldly from the side. Looking at the two juniors who did not get along, he did not deliberately mediate the relationship between the two.
"Xiao Qin, can you do it?
I forgot to tell you, Little Qing's cooking skills are taught by the cooking master Gu Rongzhi … "
When Qin Fang sat down, the old man Cai Pingyuan whispered a little to Qin Fang. Suddenly, Qin Fang was shocked and speechless.
"Master, you are clearly tricking me!"
Qin Fang said bitterly. Cai Pingyuan obviously knew the details, but he didn't stop him. He probably just wanted to watch the fun.
Cooking Master Gu Rongzhi, this name was very strange to most people in Ninghai, but Qin Fang knew his name because this cooking master would go to Mingshi Salon to cook three dishes every week. When Qin Fang went to Mingshi Salon for the first time to eat with Tangcheng and Ning Weiqiang, he had tasted one of the dishes. The taste was indeed much better than his intermediate cooking.
"I already told you that Xiao Qing's cooking skills are very good. You were the one who insisted on helping …"
Cai Pingyuan, this old man, was quite good at pushing the blame back to Qin Fang. However, when Qin Fang thought about it, it seemed that he was a little superfluous.
"I just want to show my filial piety to you!"
Qin Fang said with a smile. "Senior Sister Qing learned from Master Gu. Her cooking skills are naturally very exquisite, but … she may not necessarily be better than me!"
However, Qin Fang obviously wouldn't admit defeat so easily. Master Gu's cooking skills were naturally needless to say, but it was hard to say how much Cai Qing had learned from him. Whether she could compare with his intermediate cooking skills of more than 50% was not so easy to say.
"Oh?
So confident?
Then I have to have a good taste … "
Cai Pingyuan was also slightly stunned. He looked at Qin Fang with a little disbelief, but he saw that Qin Fang seemed to be full of confidence. He also knew that Qin Fang was not the kind of young man who liked to exaggerate. He guessed that he did have some skills, so he immediately became interested.
The conversation between Qin Fang and Cai Pingyuan was also heard by Cai Qing, who was sitting at the side, but there was a sneer on her face. Obviously, she expressed considerable dissatisfaction and anger with Qin Fang's overconfidence.
"Well, the two of you don't have to be in a daze. Let me see what kind of dishes you have prepared for me …"
Cai Pingyuan didn't care how strange the eyes of the two juniors were. It seemed that his attention was focused on the six dishes that were still covered.
"Grandpa, look at mine … These are all your favorite dishes. West Lake Vinegar Fish, Stir-Fried Flower Slices, and this Blooming Riches …"
As Cai Pingyuan's granddaughter, Cai Qing naturally knew Cai Pingyuan's preferences the best. Although Cai Qing rarely cooked by herself, it was because Cai Pingyuan didn't want his granddaughter to work in the kitchen when she was tired after practicing for a day.
These three dishes were Cai Pingyuan's favorite dishes, and Cai Qing also put in a lot of effort on these three dishes, so whether it was color, fragrance, taste, or other aspects, they were almost impeccable.
After revealing these three teas, Cai Qing showed a provocative look at Qin Fang. Obviously, she was still very confident in her cooking skills.
"Qin Fang, come, have a taste and see how it tastes."
Cai Pingyuan didn't seem to notice Cai Qing's eyes at all. He just asked Qin Fang to eat with him.
Qin Fang smiled and took the chopsticks. He picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. "Well, the color, fragrance, and taste are impeccable … But, if you add a little more vinegar, the taste will be more delicious."
Cai Qing's smile froze in an instant. Just as she was about to speak sarcastically, she saw Qin Fang start to eat the second dish, Stir-Fried Flower Slices.
This dish was a signature dish of Ninghai Restaurant, and the best cook of this dish in Ninghai was Cai Qing's cooking master, Master Gu Rongzhi. Before he retired, he was the special chef of Ninghai Restaurant.
Because of this, Cai Qing's level in this dish was obviously much better. Qin Fang took a bite of the dish and tasted it. The expression on his face seemed to be very satisfied, and even Cai Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Senior Sister Qing's Stir-Fried Flower Slices is impeccable, but unfortunately, the ingredients are a little bad. The orchid petals are not fresh enough, and the cuttlefish slices are a little dry … Of course, this is not Senior Sister Qing's fault!"
"You …"
Cai Qing was suddenly furious. If Cai Pingyuan wasn't present, Cai Qing would have slapped Qin Fang to death. "Since what you said is clear and reasonable, then I want to see your dishes. If they are not good, humph …"
After tasting these two dishes, Qin Fang also felt a little regretful that he had made things a little too awkward. "As you wish!
Master, it's my turn … "
Qin Fang smiled and opened the lids of his three dishes. The first dish was very refreshing tofu mixed with shallots. It looked very white and very simple. It was almost as if there was only a little shallots in the tofu.
The second dish was a soup. Slender shredded radishes of various colors could be seen in the soup.
The third dish was …
"Hiss …"
When Cai Pingyuan and Cai Qing saw the third dish, they couldn't help but gasp.
The third dish was actually a vividly carved pine crane. Looking at the ingredients, it should be all made up of various radishes.
The pine tree was tall and straight, and a white crane was flying with a branch in its mouth. Whether it was the pine branch or the white crane, they were all very delicately carved. If it wasn't for the fact that it was placed in front of them and could be observed carefully, and the size was too small, they would definitely think that it was real.
"Master, this is a gift from your disciple. I wish you longevity and longevity …" Qin Fang said with a face of reverence.
"You are old. Try to eat less greasy food. Eat more light food. These are more suitable for you!
Have a taste … "
Qin Fang respectfully picked up some vegetables and soup for Elder Cai and let him taste it. Of course, he didn't forget Cai Qing's. "Senior sister, please …"
Both grandfather and grandson tried it. Although these two dishes were very simple, the simpler the dish, the more difficult it was to master. The two tasted it. Although Cai Qing was very unwilling to admit it, the level of Qin Fang's two dishes was obviously higher than hers. Coupled with the vivid pine crane, Cai Qing could only bow her head and admit defeat helplessly.
Of course, no one would say this sentence. Cai Qing wouldn't bow her head, Qin Fang wouldn't open his mouth, and Cai Pingyuan, this old man, was even more sophisticated. He would only smooth things over in the middle. It was really more difficult for him to say it out loud.
This competition started invisibly and ended abruptly. Although there was a result, it was equivalent to having no result.
The three people didn't talk nonsense, but just ate quietly. Cai Pingyuan was still very happy today, so he drank a few glasses of wine with Qin Fang. The master and apprentice were happy, but it made Cai Qing squatting on the side quite jealous, but she really had nothing to say.
"Ai, Qin Fang, this apprentice of yours … I am more and more reluctant to let go of him now!
Martial arts, medical skills, and cooking skills are almost outstanding. If this was known by those old things, they would probably break their heads to snatch him from me … "
Cai Pingyuan was obviously very happy today. In addition, he drank a few glasses of wine, so he talked more, but his praise for Qin Fang was honest.
Qin Fang could only be modest in this regard, but Cai Qing next to him gnashed her teeth. Obviously, she was quite dissatisfied that she couldn't compare with Qin Fang in cooking. But the old man's punishment was very fair. Not to mention the other dishes, the carving skills of the pine crane had obviously surpassed her by a lot.
Cai Qing even felt that the level of carving skills of several disciples of Master Gu might not be comparable to Qin Fang, so no matter how unhappy she was with Qin Fang, she was still very responsible when it was time to admit defeat. She didn't hide her defeat at all.
The three people had a relatively peaceful meal. Elder Cai was more happy, and Qin Fang was very satisfied with his filial piety. Although Cai Qing was a little depressed, she still couldn't find any fault with Qin Fang's method of pleasing her grandfather. She also hoped that her grandfather could be healthy and live a long life. Overall, it was a happy ending.
After the meal, Cai Ping originally wanted to ask Qin Fang to stay at home, but Qin Fang refused. He didn't want to be directly dismembered by Cai Qing in the middle of the night. He drove slowly and leisurely away from the Xingyi Martial Arts School.
