C24 (1/2)
Dong …
Everyone stopped what they were doing as it was clear that the time for the competition had come to an end. Meanwhile, Su Jin Se saw the Red Braised Meat that Autumn Mother cooked, and compared to her, although the color of the meat was deeper, it was probably because there was too much soy sauce in it, however, it was still filled with a fragrant smell.
In the second round of the competition, Su Jin Se, Qiu Niang, and even McDong, relying on the sweet and delicious, soft waxy red braised pork, had successfully entered the finals.
The match continued into the evening, and as it was going to rain, the finals had to be cancelled for the time being. The finals were scheduled to be held tomorrow morning.
The sky was like a child's face, changing at will. In the evening, the pitter-patter of the rain continued.
Su Jin Se was brought to the county magistrate court by an official. The butler chuckled, ”Miss Su, please wait for a moment. The county magistrate will arrive very soon!”
”Butler, is the county magistrate looking for me?”
Su Jinsi wanted to go home and rest first. She still had to hold the finals tomorrow, so she had to rest well.
”This, this old servant doesn't know. Please wait a moment!”
After the butler hurriedly left, the county magistrate arrived not long after. She hurriedly knelt down and greeted, ”My daughter, Su Jinye, greets the lord!”
”Su Jin Se, get up.”
The County Magistrate was in a good mood, and it could be seen that this Su Jin Se didn't disappoint him today and had fought for his honor!
It had been eight years. Danyang County had lost eight years as the host. No one would have the face to continue losing now!
”Thank you sire, I wonder if sire will summon this humble girl …”
”It's for tomorrow's finals!”
The county magistrate didn't want to be long-winded either.
”Tomorrow?”
Of the five ladies of my Dan Yang County, only you are still participating in the finals, which is truly shameful. So, tomorrow you must defeat Qiu Niang so that I can hold my head up in the culinary competition. As the host, I lost eight years.
Su Jin Se slightly bowed, ”This humble daughter will do her best. But my lord, this humble daughter heard that Master Qiu Yun is that mother's aunt, I'm worried …”
”There's no need to worry about that. This is my territory, so cheating is not allowed. Don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to act recklessly!”
”Yes, in that case, this humble girl is relieved!”
”Alright, you only need to know that tomorrow you are not competing for yourself, but for the honor of the entire 30,000 people in Dan Yang County. Do you understand?”
Su Jinsi suddenly felt pressured. But now, she could only grit her teeth and continue on. No matter if it was for her own life or the face of this county magistrate, she had to go all out!
”This humble girl understands!”
”Alright, go home and rest. Tomorrow, I'll see how you behave!”
”Yes sir!”
After Su Jinsi left the county magistrate, the downpour outside did not stop. On the street, it was quiet and only the barking of dogs could be heard. The air was especially fresh after the rain.
She walked alone to the main street. As she walked, a man suddenly walked over from not too far away!
”Halt!”
