Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1568 - 358, Such a Beautiful Back (Second Update)

The person who arrived was Cheng Haoxuan’s master, Lu Chong.

Xia Zheng leaned forward, explaining: "That Lu Chong is an Imperial Chef in the palace, said to be the closed-door disciple of Mr. Zhuang Kangping."

Lin Yuan nodded, but since she was not familiar with Cheng Haoxuan’s culinary skills, she was also unfamiliar with this Lu Chong.

However, since he was an Imperial Chef, he must be very impressive, right?

Just...

Lin Yuan looked around, a bit puzzled, and asked, "Have you seen Cheng Haoxuan?"

Cheng Haoxuan had always thought of having Lin Yuan compete against his master, and today, when they finally met, his little disciple was nowhere to be seen!

Xia Zheng also raised his eyebrows, looked around, and indeed only saw the Embroiderer Rui from Red Smoke Pavilion and Embroiderer Ru.

Not to mention Cheng Haoxuan, even Madam Cheng was absent.

It was indeed very strange.

Lin Yuan glanced at Tian Hui, her frown deepening. She hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now, looking again at Tian Hui, her expression was clearly off.

Considering the frequent conversations she had heard about Tian Hui visiting her mother’s home to see her sister lately, could it be that the matter between Tian Xuan and Cheng Haoxuan had been exposed?

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

The words of Yan Xiangkai brought Lin Yuan’s thoughts back to the present situation.

Looking at the citizens who had come to watch the match and the judges who were already seated, Yan Xiangkai, full of confidence, announced loudly: "Ladies and gentleman, I am delighted that you could all join us at today’s competition. Drunken Immortal Tower will repay everyone with the most exquisite culinary arts to thank you for your decades of support. Thank you!"

As he finished speaking, a warm round of applause erupted.

Lin Yuan slightly curved her lips, turned her head, and took a glance at Yan Xiangkai, who was beaming with joy—seems like he was set on winning today’s competition!

Since the Boss of Drunken Immortal Tower had made his statement, Dong Tian naturally could not fall behind.

Lin Yuan took a small step forward, smiling gracefully. Without even her signaling with her hand, the onlooking crowd below fell silent on their own, watching her with anticipation.

Lin Yuan’s identity in the Capital City was almost legendary. Leaving aside her establishment of Dong Tian, just her rise from a village girl to Princess Pingxi was enough to amaze everyone.

Lin Yuan, with poise and courtesy, took out her handkerchief from her sleeve, pinching the corner with her delicate fingertips, and performed a proper bow: "Uncles and aunts, elder brothers and sisters, Lin Yuan greets you with respect!"

Pfft!

At the judges’ table, Lao Fan, who was drinking tea with Zhuang Kangping, sprayed out the tea in his mouth. If not for his quick reflexes, that mouthful of tea would have surely sprayed onto Mr. Zhuang’s clean face!

However, Jin Can sitting next to him wasn’t so lucky.

Wiping the tea and leaves from his nose, Jin Can drank a sip of tea calmly as if nothing had happened just now.

Lao Fan chuckled awkwardly twice, apologizing to Jin Can while giving Lin Yuan a stern look: she certainly played the part of a noble girl too much—surely she was too nervous and got dumbfounded!

Not just Lao Fan, all the chefs and apprentices from Dong Tian who came along were also startled by their Boss’s gesture.

Looking at each other, they all saw in each other’s eyes the image of Lin Yuan who had left the house earlier, raising her fists high and loudly shouting, "Let’s do this!"

The group nodded to each other in unison, deciding that the Boss who bellowed those defiant words was the real Boss; this one here must be an imposter, an imposter!

Although those familiar with Lin Yuan’s character were shocked by this sudden display of decorum, the majority of the populace was unaware, and many had even come out of admiration. Seeing the legendary Princess Pingxi today, they couldn’t help but sing praises.

Listening to everyone’s laudations, especially the compliments coming from the public judges’ area, Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows high, continuing to speak her clever and endearing words with pride, eliciting even more praise.

Xia Zheng stood with his arms folded across his chest, leaning against a nearby stand, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. The girl was really indulging herself in acting today, now taking on the role of a gentlewoman.

However, although it was an act, it really did resonate well with the public, and giving a good impression to the public judges was indeed important.

Hearing Lin Yuan being praised, Yao Hanai, sandwiched between Zhao Hongsheng and Tang Ruyan, almost popped out her eyes in dismay.

Half a month ago, all these praises were about herself. But looking at it now, she would already be grateful if they didn’t berate her.
