The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 416 Cooking Competition (1)

"Time is up. Please send the contestants' dishes to the judges for scoring."

"Please be patient and wait, contestants. Scoring will take some time."

As the last grain of sand fell from the three-hour hourglass placed in the center of the competition venue, Yan Fei, the host, saw that the time was up. She also came to the center of the competition venue and began to organize the staff of the cooking exchange competition to serve the dishes to the judges' seats.

"Everyone, it looks like it's our turn to get busy."

At the judges' table, Yae Shinto, who was chatting and laughing with Ningguang and the other two, saw that the staff from the competition site were already carrying the dishes towards the judges' table. Yae Shinto, who had been sitting at the judges' table for more than three hours, also revealed a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

You know, because she chatted with her sister Ganyu very late yesterday, she didn't get up in the morning. In order not to be late, she got up late and rushed here without even having breakfast, and finally arrived at the competition venue on time.

So Yae Shinko, who had been smelling the fragrance and feeling hungry for the whole morning, now urgently wanted to eat something to appease her stomach that had been protesting for a long time. So after seeing the staff bringing the food to the judges' seats, Yae Shinko no longer had any mood to chat.

"It seems that our contestants are well prepared, and the dishes they prepared are all unique and improved dishes."

As the four dishes were placed on the judges' table, Ningguang, who had eaten many dishes before, looked at the four unique dishes in front of her that were very different from the dishes she had in her mind. Ningguang, who had always been particular about food, also praised the seriousness of the four participating girls.

After all, it is not an easy task to improve the original recipe and make the food more delicious. In this process, it is necessary to study the ratio of various ingredients many times, which is extremely troublesome.

Looking at the four unique dishes in front of her, Ningguang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Before she became as wealthy as she is now, she used to sell Mora meat. In order to make her Mora meat stand out and sell better, she also spent some time improving the Mora meat.

She didn't know how many times she failed in the process. She even had to eat the unsuccessful Mora meat for every meal for three consecutive weeks. Moreover, the unsuccessful Mora meat tasted strange. But she didn't want to waste it, so she had to eat it anyway. Thinking about it now, that time was a beautiful memory.

"Everyone, try it while it's hot. Some dishes will taste different when they get cold, which will affect the ratings."

Knowing that the omelette rice made by Jiuqi Shinobu and the boiled fish made by Xiangling are the kind of dishes that are best eaten while hot, in order to prevent misjudgment, Ningguang also invited Yae Shenzi and the other two to taste the four dishes placed on the judges' table.

While Ningguang and several other judges were tasting and scoring the food, the four contestants also got together. Putting aside the conflict between Cole and Eula, these girls actually had a lot of topics to talk about.

"Shinobu, the food you cook looks really good. When you were at Inazuma before, you said that your cooking skills were average."

Coming close to Shinobu Kuki, Kurumi, who had recovered a little, blinked her plum-blossom eyes and hugged Shinobu Kuki's arm. Because of her physical discomfort, Kurumi had been busy watching the other people cooking for the past three hours. This made Kurumi unexpectedly discover that Shinobu Kuki's cooking skills were much better than she had imagined.

"Well, Master Hu, my cooking skills are indeed average."

After hearing what Kurumi said, Jiuqi Shinobu remembered that when she first met Kurumi, Kurumi once invited her to dinner with food. At that time, Kurumi did ask her if she could cook. When she saw Kurumi's cooking skills, in order to prevent Kurumi, the host, from being embarrassed, Jiuqi Shinobu modestly said that her skills were average, but she didn't expect Kurumi to take it seriously.

"I don't care. When I was in Inazuma, I personally cooked so many delicious dishes for you. When we have time, you have to cook me a meal of authentic Inazuma cuisine."

After seeing Shinobu's cooking skills, Kurumi pestered her to make her an authentic Inazuma cuisine when she had time in the future. In this regard, Shinobu had no choice but to nod and agree. After all, Kurumi was very nice to her, and the temporary job at the Inazuma branch of the Wangsei-do also provided her with a good source of funds for the Arataki faction.

"Amber, you must be tired. Let me give you some juice that I made this morning. It's delicious."

Without listening to the conversation between Kurumi and Hisahi Shinobu, Cole picked up her water bottle and put it into Amber's hand, signaling Amber to drink water. This made Nilu, who saw all this, cover her forehead with her hands.

In the morning, when Cole was filling her water bottle with juice, she naively thought that it was for her to drink after the game. Unexpectedly, it was actually prepared for Amber. She shouldn't have expected it.

"You should drink something cold on a hot day, Amber. I'll help you cool the juice."

As she spoke, Eula snatched the kettle from Cole's hand, and then, with the surge of ice elements, the already cold kettle was handed to Amber by Eula. At the same time, Eula glanced at Cole provocatively, as if to say that although she had not prepared anything, it did not prevent her from doing something for Amber.

How could Cole, who had secretly clashed with Eula many times because of Amber, not notice Eula's provocation? Cole, who chilled the juice before putting it into the kettle, could only bite her lip secretly and remember the incident. At least she would not be caught by Eula in this matter in the future.

"Kole, Eula, the two of you should control yourself. Let's go shopping in Liyue Harbor this afternoon. We haven't been to the commercial street at the Liyue Harbor pier yet."

Knowing that if she didn't stand up at this time, Cole and Eula would definitely glare at each other again, Amber, after taking a sip of iced juice, hurriedly stood up and planned the afternoon. Although Amber's move to change the subject was a bit awkward, Cole and Eula still didn't glare at each other.

Seeing that Eula and the others gathered together to chat after the game, Yan Fei, the host, also came over out of boredom. However, as soon as she came over, she heard Amber say that she was going shopping in the afternoon, which made Yan Fei sigh.

"Shopping, I want to go too~"

"Yan Fei, if you want to come, just come along. You are a native of Liyue, so you must know something interesting."

Hearing Yan Fei say that she also wanted to go shopping, as Yan Fei's friend, Youla naturally invited Yan Fei to go together. However, in response to Youla's invitation, Yan Fei shook her head helplessly.

"Eula, it's not that I don't want to go with you, but I received a commission this afternoon to find something called the Taiwei Plate. I really don't have time. Let's do it next time, next time for sure."

"Humph, you rejected my invitation. I'll remember this grudge. Next time when we go shopping, I'll make sure you treat me to herbal tea."
