The White-haired Queen

Chapter 73 Food Contest

When Doctor Qi arrived in Yuedi, it was already late. He sent someone to deliver a letter of safety to the governor of Yuedi, his son Qi Shaojie, and he did not go to the government office to disturb them.

Doctor Qi stayed in the hotel, lying on the bed, listening to the discussions outside, most of which were sighs about natural disasters and praises for the former prefect Tian Fangzhou and the current prefect Qi Shaojie.

Suddenly someone said, "A miracle doctor has come to Yanbei Mountain. He has great medical skills, but a weird temper."

Another person said: "As long as he is a miracle doctor, it is normal for him to have a weird temper. Let's talk about whether his medical ethics are good or not."

The man said: "It's hard to say, sometimes..."

When Doctor Qi heard this, he thought it was most likely his cousin, so he jumped out of bed, opened the door, and instantly arrived in front of the two people and asked, "Excuse me, is Yanbei Mountain far from here? How do I get to Yanbei Mountain?"

The man just now asked: "Are you going to seek medical treatment as well? You can see Yanbei Mountain when you go out, but it's still a long way to go. Just go straight..."

Doctor Qi asked, "Have you been to Yanbei Mountain and seen the miracle doctor?"

The man said, "I have never seen it, I have only heard about it."

Doctor Qi asked, "What have you heard? Tell me about it so I can be prepared."

The man said, "I just heard that the miracle doctor has a strange temper. Whether to save or not depends on a single thought. I don't know much about other things."

The man took two steps, turned around and said, "I also heard that the miracle doctor often appears and disappears mysteriously. He recently lived in Yanbei Mountain because he needed to practice some kind of Gu worm. I don't know what kind of Gu worm it is."

Doctor Qi said, "Okay, thank you."

At dawn the next day, Doctor Qi got ready and set out towards Yanbei Mountain. When he reached the foot of Yanbei Mountain, the sun had risen. The quiet Yanbei Mountain was bathed in the soft morning light, and it seemed that the fog in the distant mountains was gradually disappearing.

Doctor Qi's cousin Qi Tianle likes to study new drugs and pathologies, but I have never heard that he is also interested in poisonous insects. Perhaps times have changed and people have changed.

Ever since Doctor Qi arrived at the foot of Yanbei Mountain, Qi Tianle knew that his cousin had come and he would not see him. When the time was right, he could let him meet his substitute.

I heard that several groups of people have been looking for me recently, and I haven't found out what they are doing yet. I have to research the insect as soon as possible and use it on a person of similar size to me, so that he can take the punishment on my behalf.

In this way, he could continue to be at large and free in the world. When he thought of this, Qi Tianle felt a little proud of his plan.

Qi Tianle called his eldest disciple and said to him, "I am going to travel around soon. If anyone comes to see me, please ask him why he wants to see me and tell him that I will be back in half a month."

Then Qi Tianle went to a cave. There were cool breezes and gurgling water in the cave. A ray of sunlight shone in front of him, shining on a stone bed. On the stone bed lay a person quietly, a person who looked exactly like Qi Tianle.

This is the person Qi Tianle found who is most similar to himself. Some minor adjustments have been made to his facial features, and a poisonous insect needs to be implanted in him to make him lose his own consciousness and exist as Qi Tianle.

Doctor Qi confirmed from the information obtained by Qi Tianle's eldest disciple that this man was his cousin, and the other party promised that he could meet him in half a month. So he did not bother any more in Yanbei Mountain, but returned to the city and went to the government office, preparing to stay with his son for half a month.

Nanyue, located in the south of the Yangtze River, is rich in resources and famous for its food. Today, Nanyue held a potato cooking competition to let everyone know more about potatoes.

As the sun rose, the capital of Nanyue became bustling. On both sides of the street, colorful flags fluttered, gongs and drums rang out, and people flocked from all directions to the central square of the Nanyue capital, where the cooking competition was held.

In the center of the square, a huge bronze tripod stands, with smoke and fragrance filling the inside. This is the special feature of the competition - the contestants need to cook a delicious dish using the ingredients in the tripod within the specified time.

Before the competition started, the contestants were busy preparing. Some of them wielded kitchen knives, cutting the ingredients quickly and accurately; some carefully mixed the seasonings, trying to find the most perfect taste; and some closed their eyes in meditation, as if thinking about how to perfectly combine their creativity with the traditional cuisine of South Vietnam.

The competition officially started, the bell rang, and the atmosphere in the square instantly became tense and exciting. The audience held their breath, expecting the contestants to bring extraordinary surprises.

The first contestant came on stage, holding a long sword and dancing in front of the cauldron. As the sword flashed, the ingredients were thrown into the cauldron one by one. He was skilled, and every movement seemed so graceful and powerful. After a while, a dish with good color, aroma and taste was presented in front of everyone. The audience applauded and praised him.

The following contestants also showed their talents, some roasted the ingredients with flames, some steamed them with steam, and some used special techniques to turn the ingredients into exquisite paintings. Each dish contained the contestants' ingenuity and love for food.

At the climax of the competition, a young chef, Li Changqing, came forward. He was dressed in white, had a delicate face and a firm look in his eyes. He did not use complicated techniques like other contestants, but simply took out the ingredients, potatoes, and put them into the pot one by one. His movements seemed ordinary, but revealed a calmness and confidence.

As time went by, the ingredients in the cauldron gradually changed. The originally bland ingredients became fragrant and mouth-watering in his hands. The audience stared with wide eyes, curiously waiting for the final product.

Finally, the young chef finished his work. He gently lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma instantly filled the entire square. In the pot lay a golden, fragrant dish that looked both delicious and tempting.

The audience exclaimed in amazement, and the judges were also amazed. After tasting the young chef's work, they nodded in praise, saying that it was the most delicious dish they had ever seen.

“I didn’t expect potatoes to taste so dense.”

"Such a simple method can make the potatoes tasty, golden in color, and fragrant. It really has color, fragrance, and taste."

In addition to the braised potatoes made in the pot, Li Changqing also made potato strips, potato chips, mashed potatoes... steamed, fried, deep-fried, braised, stir-fried, boiled... one dish each.

People are not only amazed at his cooking skills, but also at how potatoes are prepared. They taste great no matter how you cook them.

Finally, after fierce competition, the young chef Li Changqing successfully won the championship of this cooking competition with his talent and creativity. His dishes not only won the love of the audience, but also showed the unique charm of Shangxie country potato cuisine.

After the game, people in the square were still immersed in the ocean of food. They exchanged their views and feelings about potatoes, a delicacy, and shared the joy and satisfaction brought by this feast.

The cooking competition of Nanyue Kingdom is not only a feast of potato food, but also an inheritance and exchange of culture between the two countries. It allows people to have a deeper understanding of Shangxie Kingdom's food culture and potato culture, and also makes more people like these two envoys from Shangxie Kingdom.
