Beautiful woman

Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Judgment by acquaintances
The spring rain has just stopped, the wind is warm and the sun is shining, it is a good day.

Qin Xiangxiang sat in front of the makeup table and watched Hongxiu neatly help her do an upturned bun.The woman in the mirror has green eyes, and she looks like she is recovering from a serious illness.

Hongxiu was about to apply powder on her, but Qin Xiangxiang refused: "No, I'm going to participate in a food competition, not a beauty contest. Besides, using powder or other things will affect my performance."

Well, since we don’t have enough makeup, we have to pick out a newer style of clothes.

Qin Xiangxiang refused again: "Just wear my normal clothes. This gourmet competition is so smoky that I don't have any scruples about wearing old clothes."

That's right.

So Qin Xiangxiang looked ordinary when he went out.It is no exaggeration to say that even a young lady raised by a petty official's family would be dressed a hundred times better than Qin Xiangxiang when going out.

Mrs. Wang tried to save her life: "Madam, my slave still has some hairpin rings from Second Madam hidden there. Although they are not expensive, they are well made..."

Qin Xiangxiang only had a wooden hairpin in her bun, which looked as shabby as she wanted.Not even wearing earrings.

Qin Xiangxiang's eyes lit up: "Maybe it can be used as some money?"

Mrs. Wang retracted her feet silently.What she said was superfluous.

It was still Tiansheng Tower where Hong Xiu accompanied Qin Xiangxiang.

Went on foot.

I don't know whether it was because the horse pulling the cart was old, or because Qin Xiangxiang was reluctant to feed the old horse more juice, but Qin Xiangxiang didn't let Uncle Ma hitch the cart.

That day, the shopkeeper of Tianshenglou ordered that for this gourmet competition, Tianshenglou would provide the ingredients, and the participants did not need to bring any ingredients or condiments.Only in this way can it be fair and just.

Before approaching the Jinhe Bridge, boats one after another floated on the river.

On the boat, a young lady and a handsome man wearing flowers and red and green clothes were looking at each other.

It's so good, the time of spring, the youthful love, the most real.

Qin Xiangxiang only glanced at the river for a few times, then turned his eyes back to the bridge.

Compared with those people singing in the wind and moonlight on the Jinhe Bridge, the vendors are very busy, showing a steady and contented smile in the smoke.

How can you make money securely in all the romance?Or those people on the boat who were chatting about romantic affairs might also be worried about the next meal.It's just that their hunger is more gentle than that of the people at the bottom.

Qin Xiangxiang thought this and stepped into Tiansheng Tower.

The shopkeeper of Tianshenglou remembers Qin Xiangxiang: "Hey, Mrs. Qin is here. But Mrs. Qin is not too early. Your opponent has been waiting for a long time. Well, the one you are competing with Mrs. Qin today is Tianxiang. Li Haochi, the new chef of the building, and Chen Guichun, the little boss of the building."

Tianxiang Tower, Fan Tower?This battle is quite bluffing.Qin Xiangxiang looked at Li Haochi, the cook at Tianxiang House, and saw that Li Haochi was not tall, but his body was quite round.As for Chen Guichun, Fan Lou's little boss... Qin Xiangxiang only saw several strong men blocking one person.

Not finished yet.

The shopkeeper added: "There is also Madam Ma from Ma's Tavern in Tianshui Alley."

There was actually an old acquaintance.

Madam Ma is wearing a pomegranate skirt today, which makes her face look as pretty as a flower and her figure is slim.Qin Xiangxiang saw Li Haochi, the cook at Xianglou that day, and glanced at Madam Ma several times.

Madam Ma was obviously used to being looked at like this. She just smiled and said hello to Qin Xiangxiang: "Madam Qin, we are really destined."

Qin Xiangxiang smiled politely: "Ms. Ma and I are indeed destined."

Li Haochi suddenly said: "Didn't Madam Ma compete with Madam Qin before? Madam Qin was Madam Ma's defeated enemy. Wouldn't it be a joke to compete again today?"

Qin Xiangxiang didn't say anything, but Madam Ma defended her: "It's just a fried tofu dish. I've been doing this for many years, and I'm slightly better than Madam Qin. It's just because of my experience."

Li Haochi chuckled and continued to talk. A steward-looking man sitting next to him coughed and he shut up.It seems that there are four people competing today, two main stores and two foot shops, which is quite strange.

Qin Xiangxiang sat down in his seat, and the shopkeeper came over again, with a kind smile on his face: "Madam Qin, please pay ten guan for the ingredients."

Hongxiu's eyes widened: "Didn't you accept it a long time ago?"

The shopkeeper was not annoyed: "What I charged that day was just for ordinary ingredients. Today, because Fan Lou's little boss joined me, I just added money temporarily. But please don't worry, little lady, if you are beaten in the first competition, If you are eliminated, part of the ten dollars will be returned."

But he didn't say how much he would refund.

Hongxiu watched the shopkeeper neatly put the banknotes into his sleeve pocket and left, and said bitterly: "He Tianshenglou will make a fortune."

Qin Xiangxiang comforted her: "We will make it back."

Before the judges came, the shopkeeper took advantage of this moment to explain to them some rules of the competition.For example, in today's competition, the last place elimination method is adopted.If you feel that the judgment is unfair and you are making trouble unreasonably because you question the judgment, I'm sorry, you will be expelled from Tianshenglou immediately and you will never be able to participate in Tianshenglou's food competition again.Also, no cheating.

That said, the most important thing is not to question the judgment.

Not long after I finished explaining the rules, a burst of exclamations from young ladies suddenly came from the door.

Madam Ma suddenly took out a small mirror and looked around.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Listening to this noise, Mr. Wenyue Lang must be here." He said and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Sure enough, Nangong Wenyue walked in slowly. Qin Xiangxiang looked up and saw that he was wearing a black robe with wide sleeves and a cross-collar, a golden belt, and a jade crown on his bun. He looked like an elegant nobleman. appearance.

Behind him, followed a group of beautiful young ladies.However, they were all stopped by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Only ladies with viewing vouchers can come in."

A young lady couldn't wait to ask: "If not, what should I do?"

"Don't panic, don't panic, here's the viewing voucher, five pieces of gold per piece..."

Five guans is not a lot of money, and the ladies present can take it out without having to go home to get the money.

Hong Xiu gritted his teeth even more: "This shopkeeper knows how to do business, and he can make a lot of money with nothing."

Qin Xiangxiang thought very seriously: "The shopkeeper is so greedy for money, but he can still manage Tiansheng Tower successfully, which proves that he is somewhat capable."

Nangong Wenyue didn't seem to care about the shopkeeper's greed for money, and just sat in his place - inside the screen tent as if there was no one else around.This gauze tent is very clever. People can sit in it, but people outside can't see clearly inside.

Nangong Wenyue sat in one seat, and there were three other seats. In other words, there were four judges in total.

Not long after Nangong Wenyue sat down, two judges came one after another, one middle-aged and one young man.The middle-aged man has a goatee and is dressed richly.The young man is also quite handsome, wearing an apricot-colored crew-neck shirt, a jade crown on his head, and a belt full of jade pendants.

Qin Xiangxiang didn't even recognize him.

The shopkeeper announced angrily: "Zhu Miaoxian, owner of Zhu Lou, and Lu Fengze, owner of Lu Family Painting Boat."

The middle-aged man is Zhu Miaoxian, and the young man is Lu Fengze.

Zhu Lou specializes in selling utensils for serving dishes, while Lu Family Huafang specializes in eating, drinking and having fun.

The two of you have a lot of say.

The last one arrived late.When he entered, Qin Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.
