Chapter 107: The Proud Magistrate Zhu

"Miss Yi, what are you talking about? We naturally believe Miss Yi."

"Of course. Everyone knows what kind of family the Yi family is. How could I doubt Miss Yi's fairness?"

The two people who were talking, a man and a woman, looked quite tactful. Li Mingxia also noticed that there was a man in his fifties who remained silent the whole time, as if he had not heard what Yi Shuishui said, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Yi Shuishui sat down, and the maid serving beside her immediately opened the lid of the food prepared by Li Mingxia.

"Then let's start with contestant No. 2 from Tianmu Town, Li Mingxia." Another female judge was named Fu Qinghe. She took a look at the three dishes in front of her and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

I originally thought that this guy named Li Mingxia, who was so flattering to Yi Shuishui, must have no real skills, but I didn't expect that these dishes were quite exquisite.

This makes things much easier. As long as the taste is not too bad, even if it is just a decoration, she can still be ranked in the top four. It won’t affect anything anyway.

Fu Qinghe smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to taste the three dishes in front of her when she saw that Xi Shan, who had been silent the whole time, was the first one among the four to pick up his chopsticks.

"What's the matter? Mr. Xi, do you also think that the three dishes made by Miss Li are quite tasty? You seem very satisfied?" Fu Qinghe paused with her chopsticks and saw Xi Shan put down the spoon after eating the fish lion head. Just when she thought Xi Shan was not going to taste it any more, Xi Shan picked up the tea in front of him and sipped it slowly. After a while, he filled a bowl of winter melon and old duck soup and began to drink it slowly. The cup of tea was actually used to clear the residual food taste in the mouth so as not to affect the tasting of the next dish. This was the third time in all these years that Xi Shan drank tea when tasting one person's dish. The rest of the time, he would drink tea after every one or two or three people. It seems that the dishes made by Li Mingxia taste good.

As they were talking, everyone had already tasted the fish meat lion head dish in front of them, and they all went to get the soup without any prior arrangement, and finally ate the dessert without stopping.

Fu Qinghe was really surprised this time. No wonder Xi Shan would do this. The dishes made by Li Mingxia were truly amazing!

Yi Shuishui was enjoying the dish of egg yolk and mung bean thousand-layer cake. Needless to say, you could tell how satisfied she was.

"This soup is delicious, without too many seasonings to overpower the flavor. It has a hint of sweetness when you drink it. It's really good. Miss Li is so young, but her cooking skills are so superb. I really underestimated her." Xi Junxin put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and gave it a ten.

This is a full score. Although only the top 18 are selected on the first day, which is not a big deal, there are not many contestants who can get full marks on the first day in recent years.

"Ten points." Fu Qinghe and Yi Shuishui both liked this egg yolk and mung bean thousand-layer cake, especially Yi Shuishui. There was almost nothing left on her plate at this moment.

After Fu Qinghe gave his score, Yi Shuishui also immediately gave a ten, and then Xi Shan was the only one who had not given a score.

Li Mingxia was very satisfied with the result. No matter how much score Xi Shan gave her, it would not affect her advancement today.

Fu Qinghe looked at Xi Shan and wondered how Xi Shan would give it an eight or nine points for such a taste?

Sure enough, as she expected, Xi Shan gave it an eight.

"Tianmu Town! Contestant No. 2 Li Mingxia scored a total of 38 points!"

"Next one! Tianmu Town's number one contestant, Xiao Tianyue!"

Li Mingxia did not continue listening. There was no doubt that she would advance. She left her servant here to wait for the result and then returned to her seat.

There were dozens of contestants, and it took a lot of time for each of them to taste three dishes. About an hour later, Li Mingxia received the news that he had successfully advanced as the first place.

"The second place is the chef of Zhaixing Tower, Xingchen." The servant seemed very excited and started talking without waiting for Li Mingxia to ask.

"What about third place?"

"The third place is the guy from the same town as you, his name is Xiao Tianyue." The servant's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Girl, the top three can advance automatically. That means you don't have to participate in tomorrow's selection for the top six. The remaining fifteen people only need to participate." The servant also brought another news to Li Mingxia.

There is such a good thing for being ranked high? Li Mingxia raised his eyebrows. Why didn't He Changan or County Magistrate Zhu mention it?

Li Mingxia touched his nose, unwilling to admit his guess. It turned out that these two people didn't think they could rank in the top three on the first day. Then why did they expect to win the championship and bring glory!

However, Li Mingxia had wronged He Changan and County Magistrate Zhu, because Tianmu Town had never produced the top three over the years, so naturally they didn't know there was such a rule. This year was the first time, and they actually took up two places! Now that County Magistrate Zhu had received the result, he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, come to think of it, I really didn't expect this Li Mingxia. Seriously, I didn't have any hope at all! She's just a little girl, hahahaha, come to think of it, it's our Chang'an who has a good vision. Strongly recommend! Strongly recommend, hahahaha!" County Magistrate Zhu stroked his moustache and smiled proudly.

Anyway, the prefect of the prefectural city is not here, and everyone present is of the same level, so why can't they laugh! In previous years, when their people got their rankings, they laughed much louder than him!

"Master Zhu is finally proud of himself this time. I never expected that two of them would be among the top three. I guess County Magistrate Zhu must have put a lot of effort into training these two people."

Those who were watching from the sidelines began to sneer and make sarcastic remarks, and also wanted to find out the news.

Magistrate Zhu ignored him completely and left while chatting and laughing with Magistrate Meng.

"I didn't spend a penny. Do you believe it? Lao Meng, this man was found by Chang'an at the dock. Oh, yes, yes, yes, there must be an element of luck involved. Hahahahahaha, Lao Meng, I just want to listen to you. It hurts my teeth to listen to others talking! Sour!"

After Li Mingxia left the venue, she did not leave immediately. She grabbed a handful of silver and gave it to the servant, "Thank you very much today. I will trouble you again the day after tomorrow. This is just to treat you to tea."

The change was more than two taels, so the servant was naturally happy and left with many thanks.

Li Mingxia stood at the entrance of the venue and continued waiting. After a while, He Changan came out with three little kids.
