It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child

When Shopkeeper Fu heard this, he became more alert, because Shopkeeper Li would never mention the document for no reason, so there must be some conspiracy.

Su Man's eyes lit up, and she felt that this was very timely. Oh, she originally thought that she couldn't teach Shopkeeper Li a lesson and make him suffer a little, but she didn't expect that Shopkeeper Li would take the initiative to say it. How could she not be happy?

"Okay." Su Man agreed with a smile, "But the written agreement must be signed by both parties. Otherwise, how can your written agreement alone be considered a written agreement, right?"

Shopkeeper Li laughed heartily, thinking that his goal had been achieved.

Shopkeeper Fu came to Su Man and whispered,

"Miss, do you know who that Shopkeeper Li is? If he dares to say that, he must have some conspiracy. If you agree to him now, you don't know what excessive demands he will make."

He felt that if he didn't sign the document, he would just lose, but it would be a different story if he had a written document.

"Manager Fu, don't worry, I will never lose, as long as you believe in me and don't forget what you promised me." Su Man said confidently.

Shopkeeper Fu paused. He had never seen such a woman before, but somehow he agreed.

"Okay, then just go ahead and do it. I won't say that I really let you be manipulated by the man named Li. After all, you are going to the competition for You Ran Ju, and I will definitely protect you."

After hearing this, Su Man felt a little more favorable towards Manager Fu.

Not bad, not bad. She was right about Manager Fu. He is indeed a good person.

Shopkeeper Li was afraid that Su Man would go back on her word, so he asked people to prepare paper and pen to write a document. The content of the document was very simple.

No matter how badly they lose, we cannot say that they are men bullying women, nor can we say that they won unfairly.

The last requirement was that if they won, Manager Fu had to say in front of everyone that they lost and place a bet of five hundred taels.

When these words came out, everyone who heard them felt that Shopkeeper Li was a little shameful. Knowing clearly that the other party was a woman, he still dared to make such a request. Isn't this blatant bullying?

But Su Man was very satisfied. It just happened that she didn't need others to treat her differently just because she was a woman. This time, she could let these people know that women are not cowardly and are not inferior to men.

"Okay, I can promise you." Su Man answered before Manager Fu could speak, "But I also have a request."

Shopkeeper Li nodded immediately, as if he was afraid that if he answered too late, Su Man and the others would go back on their word.

"Then hurry up and say what you want to say." Shopkeeper Li said with urgency in his tone.

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth and slowly stated her request.

"Besides the five hundred taels bet, I have only one request, that is, if you lose, you must call me aunt and admit that you are not as good as a woman like me. How do you think?"

Her words sounded like a provocation to Manager Li and the others, and they were so angry that their faces turned pale.

Wei Yan became interested.

"I think it's okay. I think this bet is very exciting. Or are you guys, Shopkeeper Li, not brave enough to make the bet? If you are not brave enough to make the bet, then Youranju will win."

"No!" Shopkeeper Li's voice became a little shrill. "Why shouldn't we bet? Let's bet! But after all, this is also Youranju's competition. It depends on whether Shopkeeper Fu agrees or not."

Shopkeeper Fu glanced at Wei Yan, and immediately understood when he saw the smiling look in Wei Yan's eyes.

Alas...those who can get along well with their masters are not easy to deal with.

Well, as long as Wei Yan is here, nothing will go wrong.

More importantly, he actually thought Su Man could do it.

and so……

"I agree. Since I've brought the person here, why would you disagree? I'll put it this way. Let her decide everything this time. No matter what the result is, I, Youranju, will bear the consequences."

Shopkeeper Fu then remembered that he didn't even know the girl's name. He thought to himself that he was old now and he actually trusted a girl he had only met once.

But now that things have come to this, he can only choose to believe this girl.

Shopkeeper Li burst into laughter, thinking that Shopkeeper Fu must be desperate to agree to such a document.

But it's better this way. He has already thought about how to take the opportunity to insult Manager Fu.

That's right, he had never thought that Su Man might win. He always felt that Su Man was a woman and there was no way she could win. If the opponent was a man, he might have been a little worried.

But unfortunately, she is a woman.

In fact, the people who thought Su Man would lose were not only Shopkeeper Li, but also all the men present.

Oh no, there are four other men who don't think that way.

They were Old Man Fan, Wei Yan, Manager Fu, and the waiter who brought Su Man here.

They all thought Su Man could win.

Of course, only Old Man Fan believed in Su Man 100%, while the other three had a wait-and-see or uncertain attitude.

Su Man and Manager Fu both read the document carefully before signing their names and handing it over to Wei Yan for safekeeping.

Wei Yan looked at the document and after finding no problems, he asked them to get ready.

The two chefs started preparing immediately, washing and cutting vegetables and preparing seasonings very skillfully.

Su Man was looking at the dishes on the table, thinking about what different dishes she should make to make people feel surprised.

At this time, the waiter who brought Su Man up at the beginning also walked over and said to Su Man,

"Girl, let me help you."

Su Man looked at him and asked.

"Is there a time limit?"

"some."

"In that case, please help me cut this piece of meat into small square pieces like this."

Su Man cut a piece of pork belly and demonstrated it. The waiter nodded and started.

Su Man only took a glance and found that the waiter's knife skills were quite good.

So she didn't watch it anymore, but looked at the hot stove and started to boil water.

While the water was boiling, she inadvertently put in some cooking wine from the space to remove the fishy smell.

The waiter had already cut the meat, and Su Man asked him to cut the chicken next to it into pieces.

The waiter didn't ask any questions and started working directly.

The first thing Su Man cooked was the braised pork, after all, this dish takes a long time to cook.

There are two stoves in total. After stewing the braised pork on one, Su Man started cutting potatoes next to it.

There were also two chopping boards, so Su Man and the waiter could work together without any delay.

Su Man's knife skills are indeed good, not just good but very good. Everyone who sees it can't help but exclaim in amazement. This is a knife skill that even the two chefs of Zui Xiang Lou don't have.

The speed and skill with which she cut the potatoes into shreds made Manager Fu feel relieved.

Fortunately, it doesn’t look that bad.

After seeing this, Shopkeeper Li's face turned unhappy. He didn't expect that this woman had such a skill.

But this trick is of no use, the food must be delicious.

Su Man cut the potatoes into shreds and blanched them in water, then finally took a large bowl and stirred them.

Add the oil smoke, some soy sauce, a little bit of vinegar, a little bit of chopped chili, and a little bit of sesame oil.

She secretly took out the chopped chili and sesame oil from her space. It didn't matter as long as no one saw them.

What's more, these things also exist in this world, but people here don't know how to use them.

She planned to make some simpler dishes first. The cold dish shredded potatoes is the simplest one, and it won’t get cold even if it is cooked for a long time.

The aroma of the braised pork slowly spread at this time. Everyone who smelled it couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They had never smelled such an overbearing aroma.

But Su Man has been doing her own thing calmly.

After the shredded potatoes are done, cover them and set them aside.

Su Man picked up a white radish and started carving patterns on it. Finally, she picked up a winter melon, cut it into thin slices, and rolled it into a small roll to make the shape of a flower.

Everyone saw Su Man cutting white radish and winter melon into slices.

But except the waiter closest to her, no one saw what she did.

Xiao Er looked at this scene in great surprise, as if he suddenly believed that Su Man could win this game.

It seemed that he would soon see the reward from the shopkeeper!

Su Man put these small flowers aside and started to make spicy chicken.

To make spicy chicken, you need to first use oil to fry until the blood is removed, and then start frying again with seasonings.

The taste of spicy chicken is stronger than that of braised pork. When the people present smelled it, they couldn't help whispering.

And the shopkeeper Li of Zui Xiang Lou was even more anxious. How could this woman make such a delicious taste? ?

At this time, Manager Fu was relieved. He felt that his decision was right!

Because the weather was too cold, and some dishes really couldn't be kept for too long, otherwise the taste would be affected, so they had to be cooked while the judges and the ten people were allowed to eat them first.

Besides him, there were two other wealthy officials and three well-known businessmen in the town on Wei Yan's side, a total of six people.

Wei Yan also asked the yamen to find these ten common people. They were all honest people with good reputation in the town.

Each of these people had a brush and a piece of paper in front of them, with the names of the two restaurants, Zui Xiang Lou and Youran Ju, written on the paper.

If you think the food of a restaurant tastes better, just make a line under its name.

When Su Man saw this, she couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.

Although the ancients were indeed foolish about some things, they also possessed great wisdom.

Su Man first served shredded potatoes, but Zui Xiang Lou first served a main dish, which Su Man saw was stewed chicken with potatoes.

Because the ingredients on both sides are exactly the same, it just depends on how the chef prepares it.

These things were divided into two parts and taken to Wei Yan and the people respectively.

When Shopkeeper Li saw that Su Man actually served the shredded potatoes first, he couldn't help but sneer.

Women are women. These people must have been hungry after waiting for so long. They must want to eat some big fish and meat. Now they are serving shredded potatoes? How shabby.

But Su Man also had her own ideas. The cold shredded potatoes were sour and spicy and very appetizing. The people here must have never eaten anything with such a taste. She had to take the lead first!

And she thinks that delicious food doesn’t matter whether it is meat or vegetarian!

After the dish was served, Su Man didn't look at it any more, as if she didn't care about the result at all, but focused on the spicy chicken.

While the braised spicy chicken was cooking, Su Man started to prepare the winter melon and duck meat, planning to make a winter melon and duck soup.

In such cold weather, it is best to drink such hot duck soup!

Wei Yan was not interested in Zui Xiang Lou's dishes at all, but was very interested in Su Man's dishes.

It's not just because he secretly hopes that Youran Ju will win, but also because he is very interested in Su Man, and of course he is also interested in the dishes that Su Man cooks!

Of course, he was already tired of eating all kinds of fish and meat.

But when he saw the shredded potatoes, he was more or less disappointed. Of course, this little disappointment didn't affect anything, and he soon started to taste it.

All the judges except him started by eating Zui Xiang Lou’s chicken. There was no other way, the shredded potatoes were just too tempting!

Wei Yan's eyes lit up after just one bite, and then he took another bite.

Very good, he is now looking forward to Su Man’s next dish more and more.

If he wasn't worried about the rest of the people having nothing to eat, he could finish the whole plate of shredded potatoes by himself.

Of course, in order to make it look good, he still tried the potato stewed chicken at Zui Xiang Lou.

He put down his chopsticks after just one bite, then picked up the brush and drew a stroke under the name of Youran Ju.

Shopkeeper Li had been keeping an eye on Wei Yan. When he saw that Wei Yan only tasted one bite of their dishes but tasted the dishes from Youran Ju twice, he felt a pang in his heart.

Because of position reasons, they now cannot see who Wei Yan has chosen.

Not only them, but even the judges were a little distance apart so they couldn't see it.

This is also to ensure absolute authenticity.

The second dish served by Su Man was spicy chicken, while Zui Xiang Lou served steamed fish.

After Su Man served the dishes, she started to make winter melon and duck soup, still looking like she was not waiting to see the results.

Wei Yan still tasted Su Man's first, and this time he couldn't help but smile a little more.

In fact, it was not just him, but everyone else also reached out their chopsticks to the dishes made by Su Man this time.

Shopkeeper Li, who had originally vowed that he could win, felt even more uneasy after seeing this scene.

He gripped the handle of the chair tightly, but continued to comfort himself.

Maybe... maybe it was just a coincidence. How could a woman win over his two chefs?

The two chefs of Zui Xiang Lou had actually been paying close attention to the situation, but they were not as anxious as Manager Li.

Because they were very confident in their cooking skills. A little girl wanted to beat the two brothers? It was ridiculous.
