Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

The God of Land tried Xiang Yuandai's bitter vegetable and small intestine soup and praised it highly:

"I didn't expect that bitter vegetable soup could be so sweet and delicious! Your Highness Prince Yu is such a great cook!"

Xiang Yuandai filled a small bowl and brought it to Luo Ying. He looked at her affectionately, smiled and said gently:

"Try it and see if it tastes like what you remember."

Luo Ying tried a sip, his eyes sparkling, and he said in shock:

"Hmm... the bitter vegetables are fresh and tender, and the soup base is sweet with a hint of bitterness. How did you make it so authentic?"

Xiang Yuandai looked at Luo Ying with a smile on his face and said in a very gentle voice:

"In order to make the taste you want, I went to the mortal world to learn from a master."

Luo Ying didn't pay attention to his expression and couldn't help but praise him again:

"I didn't expect that the unruly Prince Yu's cooking skills are so good!"

Seeing Luo Ying praising him, Xiang Yuandai was overjoyed. He looked at Luo Ying infatuatedly and said gently:

"If you like to drink, I often make it for you!"

Luo Ying then realized that his affectionate eyes had been staring at her, which made her heart beat fast. She quickly avoided his gaze and interrupted him:

"Okay, time to try mine."

As he spoke, he opened the lid and saw a juicy bitter vegetable and frozen tofu soup. The god of land saw it and his eyes lit up and said:

"Is this also made of bitter vegetables? It's so exquisite!"

Luo Ying smiled proudly and said:

"I gave this soup a nice name, Emerald White Jade Soup."

Xiang Yuandai also came forward to take a look and was stunned. He praised:

"I never knew you were such a good cook! Is this green tofu made from bitter vegetable juice?"

Luo Ying nodded proudly with a proud look on his face.

He took a bite and said excitedly:

"Wow! The bitter vegetable jelly tastes fresh and smooth. The slight bitterness matches the tenderness and sweetness of the tofu, and the addition of wolfberry makes it look better and tastes better than mine."

The God of Land also tried it and praised loudly:

"The fairy is really good at cooking! It's both beautiful and delicious! So the winner of this round is..."

The God of Land looked at Xiang Yuandai, saw him nod, and said loudly:

"The fairy wins this round."

Then the God of Land came to Xiang Yuandai's table and opened the second dish. He asked Xiang Yuandai:

"Your Highness Prince Yu, this dish is..."

Xiang Yuandai replied:

“Bitter vegetables with pine nuts”

The God of Land took a sip and praised:

"The cooking time of this dish is perfect! The bitter greens are tender and juicy, and the pine nuts are crispy and crunchy. The tastes complement each other very well, it's really wonderful!"

Luo Ying also quickly tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he praised:

"Sure enough, the heat is just right. The aroma of the pine nuts penetrates into the bitter vegetable, enhancing its freshness and fragrance. Did you learn this from the chef as well?"

Xiang Yuandai smiled and shook his head and said:

“I studied this myself.”

Luo Ying couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised:

"Your Highness Prince Yu is really talented in cooking! Such ordinary wild vegetables can be made into such delicious food just by mixing them cold... It's amazing..."

When Xiang Yuandai heard her praise, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

The God of Land opened Luo Ying's second dish, a bitter vegetable sandwich surrounded by orange pulp. Luo Ying said modestly:

"The name of my dish is 'Bitterness before sweetness', but it still doesn't taste as good as the bitter vegetable mixed with pine nuts that King Yu had."

Xiang Yuandai hurriedly said:

“This dish has a nice name and looks great...”

The God of Land and Xiang Yuandai both took a sip, and the God of Land announced:

"The winner of this round is His Royal Highness Prince Yu..."

The God of Land came to Xiang Yuandai's table again and opened the third dish. When he saw it, he exclaimed:

"Braised Lion's Head... Bitter vegetables can be made into a famous dish... It's really clever."

He took a sip and said:

“The taste is a little more bitter than the traditional braised lion’s head, but also more tender and juicy. Wonderful!”

Luo Ying also quickly tasted it, his eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten all the unpleasantness between the two of them just now, and praised happily:

"It's so delicious! It's several levels better than what I bought in the mortal world market before! Brother Yuandai has this skill, and I can enjoy it every day."

Xiang Yuandai was instantly filled with sunshine when he heard her words, and said to her lovingly:

"If you like it, I'll make different dishes for you every day."

Luo Ying said excitedly:

"Great! I'll be in for a treat then."

Xiang Yuandai pointed to her third dish and said:

"I haven't tried yours yet!"

Luo Ying said embarrassedly:

"Look at me, such a foodie. I forgot we were still in the competition because of the delicious food."

After that, the three of them walked to her table together and opened the third dish, which was a plate of seven-color dumplings. Luo Ying whispered:

"Compared to His Royal Highness Prince Yu's, mine is nothing to mention. His is a famous dish, and mine is just pretty."

Xiang Yuandai comforted her and said:

"Don't be discouraged. Your dishes are all very beautiful. What is this one called? Tell me about it."

Luo Ying hurriedly said:

"I added beet juice to the dumpling wrappers. I hoped to blend the sweetness and bitterness together to create a new taste. So I named it "Sharing the Sweet and the Bitterness Together."

The God of Land and Xiang Yuandai both took a sip, and Xiang Yuandai commented:

"Although your dish is not a famous one, it is innovative, has a fresh taste, looks good, and has a nice name. It is comparable to mine."

The Earth God took a look at King Yu's expression and announced:

"Then this round is a draw for you guys!"

The land god smiled and said:

"Your Highness Prince Yu and the Fairy each have their own strengths. You can make such an excellent dish with such ordinary wild vegetables. It can be seen that both of you have profound culinary skills. If you can combine your strengths, it will surely be incomparable to any mortal food."

Xiang Yuandai and Luo Ying smiled at each other, and Xiang Yuandai said with a smile on his face:

"It seems that we will be busy in the coming days. We can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and develop more excellent dishes."

In the next few days, the two of them concentrated on researching and discussing new dishes, and seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasant things that had happened between them before.

In the kitchen, Luo Ying was kneading dough, and Xiang Yuandai was making a pot of soup. He looked at Luo Ying with eyes full of love. He picked up the bowl and scooped up a small mouthful, gently blew it to cool it, and fed it to Luo Ying's mouth, asking caringly:

"How about this soup today?"

Luo Ying's eyes lit up after drinking it, and he quickly asked:

"This soup tastes so familiar! Could it be Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

Xiang Yuandai laughed happily and praised:

"You are indeed a foodie. You can tell right away after just one bite. How does it taste?"

Luo Ying pondered for a moment and asked:

"It's good, but it feels like something is missing?"
