Lu Tianxiao and Ding Maoren returned home better. This experience made Lu Tianxiao understand his weakness better. On the one hand, he practiced swordsmanship, hoping to have a better way to break through the suppression of spells. On the other hand, he learned all kinds of engagement banquets with Ding Maoren, especially those two dishes, the skeleton and the winged bird.

Lu Tianxiao discovered: This twig is really hard to make. Dried tofu is easy to break if it is cut thinly, and it cannot be tied up. If it is thicker, it will not taste good when it is cooked, and it is just a false reputation. Finally, it is just the right thickness, and it is found that tweaking is a technical job. When Ding Maoren flips his ten fingers, the tweaking will grow out like he will, one after another. When it is his turn, it will be difficult to give birth and he will not be able to get one out for a long time.

Lu Tianxiao practiced this dish for nine days. Every night when he went to bed, his fingers were cramped and numb. It was really uncomfortable. Even at night, he dreamed that he couldn't tie the dried tofu buckle in the royal palace. No matter how he tied it, he woke him up. When Lu Tianxiao saw that it was not dawn, he was scared by the dream and sweated coldly. He thought: I worked so hard that I would definitely be able to take care of the engagement banquet of the royal palace. At that time, when I see Han Xue, I will ask everything clearly, especially how to stop her marriage. Her colorful glass pupils should see the answer.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the royal palace issued a notice, collecting famous chefs from Xingcheng, going to try out the engagement banquet of the Kung Fu Palace, and choosing a generous bonus. It was really a gathering of respondents, some really have the ability, some just join in the fun, and some want to take the opportunity to go to the royal palace to see it, and then brag about it with the people around you.

Lu Tianxiao asked Ding Maoren, "How could this royal palace have such a big style? What is the origin of the four major families in Xingcheng?"

Ding Maoren said: "In the eyes of ordinary people outside the demon subduing circle, these four major families are all wealthy nobles in Xingcheng, from officials to gangsters, which are inextricably linked. But in our eyes, their ability is far beyond these. Each family has established itself in the bloody storm of the world for a hundred years. They all have real skills. Let's talk about the Wang family. They have a unique secret technique, "Golden Needle to Defeat the Misfortune".

"What does that mean?"

"I just heard that I have never seen it with my own eyes. Whenever the Wang family is in danger, someone will use this secret technique to make the Wang family safe and turn the defeat. I have never seen it if I use it. Or in other words, no one who has seen it is already there."

"Oh, I got it."

While the two of them were talking, they went to the registration office of the royal palace and signed up.

Lu Tian asked with a smile: "So many people sign up, can we choose?"

Ding Maoren said: "This is certain, your master and my cooking skills are among the best in Xingcheng, especially in the circle of demon subduing. The only worry is that the Wang family knows your thoughts and knows that you are my disciple, so they don't need me."

"Does the Wang family know?"

"He must know that you are my apprentice, but they certainly don't know what you think."

"Why?"

"Because of the Han family, the Han family's ability to control news is the most powerful among the four major families. They basically blocked the news about you and Han Xue. Otherwise, how could the Wang family get engaged to the Han family?"

"Oh, I can't say it, this is really the last time I saw Han Xue."

"Maybe, maybe not, who can tell the future exactly, but I always feel that you still have a chance."

"Thank you for your comfort, Master."

At this time, the Wang family’s talent in charge of reception announced: “All those who sign up, thank you for coming. There are gifts at the door to express their gratitude. We will carefully review and will notify you if the review is appropriate. If you have not notified it for more than a week, please participate next time.”

After hearing the words, the registered people went to pick up the gifts in a scattered manner, and then left the door and dispersed.

Although this week was not long, it was quite difficult to get by. Fortunately, Ding Maoren finally received the call. When the phone rang, Lu Tianxiao thought it was takeaway ordering, and he had made plans to turn on his own electric motorcycle. Perhaps when every decisive news comes, people thought it was just a normal news.

In the evening, Lu Tianxiao reviewed the two dishes of Lianzhi and Biyi Bird, thinking about how the Wang family would compete and how he would deal with it. He also thought that his master Ding Maoren would help him, so he felt much more relieved.

The next day, Ding Maoren and Lu Tianxiao, went to the royal palace. There were servants who had been guided by the royal palace and arrived at the competition venue. The competition time was not yet reached.

Ding Maoren and Lu Tianxiao sat down and rested according to the instructions. Lu Tianxiao looked at the competition room, which was indeed in line with the style of a wealthy family, especially the three sets of cooking utensils. It seems that there should be three people competing, three choose one, and there is a 33% chance. I just don’t know who the judge is, after all, how can he play his part in his preferences, and obviously the winning rate is higher.

After a while, a host announced: The contestant will start.

Ding Maoren and Lu Tianxiao came to one stove, and there were contestants in front of the other stoves, both of which were chefs and a deputy.

But Lu Tian smiled and looked at the outfits of the two teams, and felt that he was half shorter. He and his master were still wearing ordinary clothes. But those two pairs were indeed tempting with their uniforms. The pair in the middle was wearing Japanese kimonos, obviously they were going to cook Japanese food. The one on the right was wearing Michelin kitchen clothes and Western food?

When Lu Tianxiao thought about the possibility of their cooking, he felt guilty again. One was Japanese cuisine, which should be exquisite Japanese sashimi or sushi. No matter which one, it was synonymous with exquisite and deliciousness. The Michelin chef was even more so. The cooking of Western food naturally meant high-end, gentlemanly, exquisite and delicious. And he was just a local bun. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell which kind of food was more in line with the identity of the Wang family.

Ding Maoren saw Lu Tianxiao's worry, patted his shoulder and signaled him to relax.

But how can Lu Tianxiao relax? The wealthy family cares about their identity or face the most. What should I do if the dishes they want to cook are so rustic?

At this time, the host began to announce the Han family's cuisine. Then he began to introduce: "The contestants, after careful review by the judges, the three best candidates represent three cuisines, one is a Chinese banquet, one is Japanese cuisine, and the other is Western cuisine. So who can be better? Is it looking at a very local Chinese food? Or is it looking at a Japanese dish with raw meat, or is it looking at an unaffordable Michelin? Two hours later, we will see the conclusion. There is also a point that the engagement banquet is not only delicious, but also meaning, so each team has to make a dish and tell why. The competition officially begins."

Ding Maoren pulled out the kitchen knife and began to prepare the materials.

Lu Tian laughed and asked in a low voice: "Master, what are we doing?"

"Take a branch." Ding Maoren said while busying himself.

"It's too rustic. How could a few dried tofu beat Japanese sushi and Michelin dishes?"

"It's hard to say whether we can win, but in terms of cultural connotation, we must win."

"That's right."

"However, when cooking soup, don't think about Han Xue and the young master of the Wang family. If they fail, my dried tofu will be ruined."

"I don't want anyone."

While the two of them were talking, Ding Maoren had already cut the dried tofu into strips. Lu Tianxiao reached out and opened the buttons. Ding Maoren started to light the fire and cook the soup again to prepare the dried tofu for a while.

Lu Tianxiao looked for an opportunity to take a look. The two Japanese dishes in the middle were calm and took out fresh seafood ingredients and started processing. The Michelin chef who was far away also cut them all over the place, which was obviously a big dish.

When you are dedicated to cooking, time passes quickly. The host has already started the countdown of ten minutes.

Lu Tianxiao has reached the stage of placing the table, and the other two pairs of players are about the same speed.

"Time is up," the host began to announce, "First, please ask Michelin chef David to introduce him."

Someone had already brought the dishes made by three teams to the three judges of the Wang family. Lu Tianxiao remembered the host and seemed to have introduced these three people, one was the head of the Wang family, the other was the son of the Wang family's engagement this time, and the other was the Wang family's housekeeper or something.

Michelin chef introduced: "Xo Ruyi Pork Yellow, Xishi Yuye Guifei Shrimp."

"These are two dishes." Lu Tian laughed and said in a low voice.

Michelin chef said: "Although the name is long, this is a dish, and it is all the best seafood, all of which are prepared in wine, and the glutinous rice is fried with xo in Western food, and the shrimp is cooked in Chinese food, and it is cooked in Maotai wine. Since it is a wedding, we naturally need to use two ingredients, which means that we are in harmony with each other."

After listening to the introduction, the three people from the Wang family began to taste it and praised it.

The host said: Please invite the Japanese master to introduce Junjiro Inoue.”

The Japanese master said: "The name is Yuzhuyao. It is the second dish of a traditional Japanese wedding."

"Pig waist? The Japanese still have such a heavy taste." Lu Tian thought to himself.

The Japanese master continued: "This dish is made of three selected seafood ingredients, namely golden sea urchin, Antarctic sweet shrimp, and Japanese eel. The color is red, white and yellow. It means happy marriage, holy and brilliant. The taste is mainly a secret soup, which makes people feel endless aftertaste."

The three people from the Wang family tasted it again, and the Wang family's young master said: "No, not bad, this ingredient tastes really good."

After listening to the introductions of these two people, Lu Tianxiao was basically in despair: his opponents were all kinds of selected seafood, purchased from all over the world, and even the ingredients were xo and Moutai. My master wanted those dried tofu to beat their seafood?
