County Magistrate Zhu was smiling, but his good mood was always covered by a layer of gray. They also received news that Xingyue would participate in the competition together tomorrow and compete for the first place.

Magistrate Zhu couldn't help feeling unhappy when he thought that the people he brought had worked so hard to get the quota, while others got it without any effort. But so what? A higher-ranking official can crush others.

"Li Mingxia."

Li Mingxia was taking the three little rascals back to the inn, but the oncoming Xingchen blocked her way. She pronounced the three words with extreme contempt, which made people feel annoyed.

"Who are you?" Li Mingxia looked at the man in front of him and pretended to have no impression of him. "Whose servant are you? Who is your master? What do you want from me?"

Seeing that the woman in front of him actually treated him as someone's servant, Xingchen immediately became angry.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at who I am. How can someone so blind as to be qualified to be an excellent chef?"

Li Mingxia smiled faintly, "When you say that others are blind, you might as well reflect on yourself. If you can make people remember you at a glance, this kind of misunderstanding will naturally not occur."

Xingchen realized that he had been fooled and was furious. "What a eloquent mouth you have. I guess you got the top four rankings with this mouth."

Xingchen knew that Li Mingxia and Yi Shuishui had a close personal relationship, and he had never tasted anything made by Li Mingxia. Naturally, he was very dissatisfied with this woman who had shined in her first year and even stepped on his head.

"I didn't know how you were inferior to Xingyue before, but now I see it clearly. Whether I am worthy of the title or not will be clear tomorrow." Li Mingxia looked at the person in front of her. She did not miss the flash of jealousy and resentment on his face when she mentioned Xingyue.

It seems that these brothers, who are from the same school and work in the same restaurant, do not have such a good relationship.

As a result, Li Mingxia laughed even more happily. Since he had the chance to stab this person who had no good intentions towards him, he naturally could not let it go.

"Are you okay? If you are, don't stand here blocking the way. Tomorrow's game won't be as easy as the previous few days. I have to say that although I don't take you seriously, Xingyue is indeed an opponent worth taking seriously." Li Mingxia finished speaking seriously, looking at Xingchen with innocent and serious eyes, "Make way."

It was not known whether it was because he was so stimulated by Li Mingxia that he forgot to react, or because Xingyue had too much influence on him. In short, Xingchen did not say another word until Li Mingxia's back disappeared around the corner.

At this time, in the room of the inn, Li Mingxia was filling a huge jar with water. Yes, that's right, it was water, the water in her space.

In the past few days, although Li Mingxia also took the competition seriously, she was not without hidden strength like Xiao Tianyue and Xingchen. Especially after knowing the existence of Xingyue, among the four, only Niu Yipan used all his skills. However, this was also a helpless move. Otherwise, Niu Yipan might not have been able to keep the fourth place.

Looking at the two large jars of water and three small porcelain bottles in front of him, Li Mingxia was thinking about the dishes he would cook tomorrow.

"One dish of porridge and one dish of dessert. The requirement is that the porridge can fill the stomach and can also be eaten as a main course." Li Mingxia read out the rules of tomorrow's competition.

It is not difficult. You can make porridge into soup and add vegetables, meat or other ingredients to meet the requirements. The important thing is how to stand out among several masters. This cannot be achieved by having better ingredients than others.

Li Mingxia reached out and picked up one of the porcelain bottles. There was half a bottle of powder in it. It was a condiment carefully prepared by Li Mingxia that could be used to greatly enhance the delicious taste of dishes. More than a dozen medicinal herbs and condiments were added to it. After being ground into powder, Li Mingxia's secret broth was added. Then, after repeated cooking, the broth and powder were completely melted together. Finally, they were placed in the space to dry naturally. This way, all the flavors could be retained to the greatest extent, and not a single bit would be lost. It took Li Mingxia more than half a year to get such a large bottle, which was left over from her previous life. She had never been willing to use it until now. This was her secret weapon.

After packing up, Li Mingxia went to bed. He had made all the preparations, so what he needed to do now was to have a good rest and regain his energy so that he could perform better tomorrow. To be on the safe side, Li Mingxia also drank a glass of water from the space. He had a very satisfying sleep, and after dawn, Li Mingxia was in the best condition.

Everything is for today's game!

After breakfast, Li Mingxia came to the venue with the things he had prepared, and checked them layer by layer. When he saw his seasonings being poured out and sealed, Li Mingxia's mouth twitched with pain. Although it was only a little bit, it was all his hard work! !

After officially entering the venue, Li Mingxia finally saw Xingyue.

I originally thought that he should be a person similar to Xingchen, but I didn't expect that he had an ordinary face, the kind that no one would even look at twice in a crowd. Only his eyes seemed out of place on that ordinary face.

Because those eyes were so beautiful, so beautiful that Li Mingxia couldn't help but take another look.

"Are you Li Mingxia?" Xingyue glanced at the woman who was looking at her, and her expression did not change at all. "I hope this year's competition will be more interesting because of your appearance. Don't let me down too much."

It actually means not to let him down too much. Does this mean you think you will definitely win?

Faced with such a voice, Li Mingxia chose to ignore it, retracted his gaze and walked straight past him without giving him a single glance or answering a word.

Xingchen felt inexplicably happy when he saw this scene, and his hostility towards Li Mingxia actually decreased a lot.

It turns out that this woman is not just like this to herself, she is also equally arrogant and rude to Xingyue.

Thinking of this, Xingchen felt much better. When he passed by Xingyue, he deliberately imitated Li Mingxia and slowly glanced at his senior brother, then smiled and left.

All the contestants arrived at their positions, and everyone had a serious look on their faces. Niu Yipan was the most exaggerated among them, with cold sweat all over his forehead.

"It seems that there is no suspense this year." Fu Qinghe thought about the taste that he had tasted five years ago and had never forgotten, sighed, and said with some regret.
