After my girlfriend was turned gay, I stole her lover

Chapter 374: What’s special about the soup I often cook?

After the sisters' coffee party, Xia Lingwei quickly arranged the first "Who is the Best Bride" competition.

Her family owns a high-end Michelin restaurant located in the city center, which is usually packed with customers.

If a restaurant offers free food tasting to many diners, it will undoubtedly be fairer than asking the chef to review the food directly.

The four women quickly arrived at the Michelin restaurant as agreed.

The restaurant is decorated particularly exquisitely at this time.

In order to attract diners, Xia Lingwei set up a special area for tasting new products in the most conspicuous location in the restaurant.

There are clean and tidy dining tables, and the new tableware sparkles with a silvery luster under the light.

The restaurant's kitchen was bright and spacious, with a special area reserved for the four of them to compete.

All kinds of high-end kitchen utensils are available, and the ingredients have already been prepared, fresh and abundant.

Xia Lingwei announced first:

"Today, we are going to hold the first round of cooking competition with the theme of tonic soup made from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. This is indeed a big challenge, after all, we have to ensure that the soup is delicious while highlighting the tonic effect of the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. As for why we chose this theme, everyone knows it, so I don't need to explain it."

Qin Yubai nodded in agreement: "That's right. My brother's homework load will decline as he gets older. As a qualified wife, I must learn how to stew nourishing Chinese medicine soup."

Gui Tongyao blushed: "Isn't this just kidney soup? I often make soup, what's so special about it?"

Lu Xiaoru glanced at Gui Tongyao and shook her head, "Xiaoyao, this is not that simple. Kidney soup is too fishy, ​​and many people don't like to drink it. Our goal should be to stew a delicious and nourishing Chinese herbal soup."

Xia Lingwei nodded: "Yes, getting Xiao Jiang to drink it is the key, and the effect comes second. Let's get started!"

After Qin Yubai put on a white apron, she was dressed in white from her stockings to her head.

She first carefully selected the ingredients, and kept muttering, "Humph, I must make the best soup and let Lu Xiaoru know that she is not qualified to monopolize her brother."

As she spoke, she picked up a ginseng, held it in front of her eyes and examined it for a while, and said to herself: "This ginseng looks good, I'll use it, to give my soup a good boost. By the way, my brother usually only takes three times at most, ginseng is still a little weak, I guess I can add wolfberry, red dates, astragalus..."

Gui Tongyao watched Qin Yubai stuff all the herbs into the stewing pot and was worried about stopping her.

"Bai Bai, this will be unpalatable!"

"What are you afraid of? It's a bitter medicine. At worst, I can feed it to my brother with my mouth!"

Xia Lingwei reached out and tapped Qin Yubai's head: "No. Xiaoyao, you can't remind her, this is cheating."

Qin Yubai shook his head and said, "It's not cheating. Xiaoyao and I are in the same group! I dare to let Xiaoyao continue to sleep with my brother after we get married, and the three of us will sleep together happily. Lu Xiaoru, do you dare?"

Lu Xiaoru blushed and her mouth trembled: "I'm not... Are you that perverted?"

Qin Yubai grinned, revealing her white teeth: "This is how I am as the first wife, and you don't have it, Lu Xiaoru!"

Gui Tongyao's face also turned red after hearing what Qin Yubai said: "Okay, stop making a fuss. Cook carefully and don't ruin the reputation of Sister Wei's Michelin restaurant."

Xia Lingwei waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. We are offering free tasting anyway. It's clear that it's free and the diners will just complain a few times at most."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to make chicken soup. Don't you dare copy me!"

Qin Yubai said this and started to process the chicken. Although his technique was not skillful, his eyes were full of seriousness.

She carefully cut the chicken and nodded with satisfaction, then poured all the prepared Chinese medicinal materials into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and simmered it on low heat.

Gui Tongyao seemed a little nervous. She stood in front of the operating table and took a few deep breaths before starting to work.

She thought that if it had to be delicious and fresh, the soup must be fresh.

After seeing a pile of sea cucumbers nearby.

The scene of her and Jiang Dongwen's love affair popped up in Gui Tongyao's mind.

"Damn it, it's just one week without it."

Gui Tongyao then realized that she could not leave Jiang Dongwen.

I miss this boyfriend both physically and mentally.

"Xiaoyao, what kind of soup are you going to make?" After Qin Yubai finished, he stared at the others.

"Sea cucumber soup! I want to mix morels, chanterelles, and dendrobium. Mushrooms can enhance the flavor of the soup, and adding dendrobium and sea cucumber will not only make it delicious, but also nourishing!"

"You are so smart, Xiaoyao!" Qin Yubai hugged Gui Tongyao and kissed her on the cheek.

"When we win, the brother will belong to both of us!"

"Yes, Baibai." Gui Tongyao nodded happily.

When Lu Xiaoru saw how harmonious the combination of Qin Yubai and Gui Tongyao was, she felt a little panicked.

To her, Qin Yubai was not difficult to deal with.

The difficult one to deal with is Gui Tongyao.

She is the beautiful cook in Jiang Dongwen's apartment.

Everything tastes delicious.

How can we win?

Lu Xiaoru turned her head to look at Xia Lingwei and found that she was holding the kitchen knife awkwardly.

Sister Wei...could it be that she can’t cook?

So why choose a cooking competition that doesn't benefit her?

Lu Xiaoru stood in her own operating area, her expression slightly solemn.

This game is very important for four people.

Although she felt that it was a bit absurd to use this method to decide the fate of a relationship, since she had already agreed, she must give it her all.

Lu Xiaoru quickly selected more precious Chinese medicinal materials such as deer antler, seahorse, and Cistanche deserticola, and paired them with fresh pigeon meat as the main ingredients.

She first cleaned the pigeon meat carefully, removed the stray hair and excess fat, and then cut the pigeon meat into medium-sized pieces.

After processing the pigeon meat, she scooped it out and set it aside, then began to process the Chinese medicinal materials.

She washed the Chinese medicinal materials one by one and soaked them in warm water for a while so that they could better exert their medicinal effects.

Then, she put the soaked Chinese medicinal materials and fried pigeon meat into the stew pot, added appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and started to simmer over low heat.

During the stewing process, she checked the heat and the state of the soup from time to time, and adjusted the heat accordingly.

After Xia Lingwei finished cutting the herbs, she calmly selected Chinese medicinal herbs such as Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Morinda officinalis, etc., and paired them with a fat duck.

She first cleaned the duck meat, making sure it was completely free of any stray hair or odor. She then cut the duck meat into large and small pieces, put them into the pot and blanched them, then took them out and rinsed them with clean water...

Over time.

The kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.

The four women were all concentrating in front of their pots, waiting for the moment when the tonic soup was finished cooking.

Finally, the clock pointed to noon, and it was time for the first round of the cooking competition.

The four women scooped out the soups they had cooked, placed them on exquisite plates, and brought them to the tasting area of ​​the restaurant.

"The food tasting has started! Come and take a look!"

Qin Yubai didn't wait for the restaurant manager to call out, and had already waved a small flag that said "Food tasting here" towards the hall.
