"What dish?"
Braised chicken.
"Thumbs up!"
"Order something different."
"Hmm, let me think, I kind of want to eat sweet and sour fish."
"I want to eat this too, let's order this!"
"Boss, may I order a sweet and sour fish?"
"OK."
"thank you boss!"
Diona came out a little late, her ears drooping.
"Diona, come here! Don't be discouraged."
"Hey, Senior Zhu Zi, you lost too, so why are you still so happy?"
"The boss said that even if you lose, you can still order food once."
"!!"
The cat's tail, which had been drooping, suddenly stood up, and it perked up completely.
"really?"
"of course."
"Then I want to eat fish!"
"I've already ordered a sweet and sour fish, let's change it."
"Then let's eat chicken."
I also ordered a braised chicken.
"Hmm...that lion's head?"
"it is good!"
Miss Yun Jin listened in a daze.
What is a lion's head?
I always feel like the dishes they eat every day are very new.
After a while, Ms. Akabane and Shin-haku also lost.
"I'd like to order a braised pork belly!"
"Okay, where's Shen He?"
Hot and sour shredded potatoes.
"Senior Shen He! This is a rare opportunity, we must order the main dishes!"
Shen He remained calm.
"I just want to eat hot and sour shredded potatoes."
Chapter 294 The Luck-Based Player
Time passed slowly, and as noon approached, the preliminary rounds of the Feiyunpo competition area came to an end amidst intense matches.
The four strongest and luckiest contestants were sitting in the teahouse.
Besides her cousin, there was another friend Xia Zhi knew.
It is the True Lord of the Moon-Slicing Cutter.
Xia Zhi guessed that this immortal had secretly used a fortune-telling cheat during the competition.
After sitting down, True Lord Xiaoyue looked at his cousin sitting opposite him, and his expression became a little unnatural: "Miss Xia Ci..."
What should I do if I'm playing cards at the same table as a god? I need help urgently.
The Great Compassion Tree King nodded gently: "Mm."
Seeing that she had no interest in paying attention to him, True Lord Xiaoyue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Indeed, given the Great Tree King's amiable nature, she must have long since stopped caring about his past attempts to pry into her fate.
Stop scaring yourself.
The Moon-Slicing True Lord turned his head and looked at the other two contestants, who were just ordinary people.
He's just a lucky player; that's where his luck ends.
After a while, a staff member from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce announced loudly: "The preliminary round of the Feiyunpo Division has come to a successful conclusion. Congratulations to Xia Ci for advancing to the finals! The final of this Chess King Competition, like the Chef King Competition, will also be held in the main square of Yiyan Palace at 2 PM. The format of the finals will be different from the preliminary rounds, and we believe it will be even more intense and exciting. Everyone is welcome to come and watch!"
After announcing the results, the staff turned around and looked at Xia Ci.
"Please arrive at the competition venue at least ten minutes in advance, as we need to make some pre-match preparations."
"I see."
"Thank you for your cooperation. We wish you a successful start and hope you bring glory to the Feiyunpo competition area."
"Well, it's just right that the four winners from the four regions of Liyue will participate in the finals. But if I choose to give up the competition now, how will the remaining three compete?"
"If this happens, we will use an emergency plan and select the player with the second highest score from the three players in your final match as a substitute."
"I see."
The Great Compassion Tree King walked out of the teahouse, calmly accepting the various gazes cast upon him.
"Cousin, I won."
"Congratulations."
"The finals are this afternoon. I wonder who the contestants from the other regions will be."
"We'll know when the time comes."
"Miss Yun Jin is here too."
"Congratulations on winning the competition, Miss Xia Ci."
"Thank you. Hey, where are Zhu Zi and the others? Where did they go?"
"They went to the market to buy groceries."
"Oh, celebrating for me? They've really worked hard."
"You're overthinking it; this is their own benefit."
"Hey?"
"I'm offering a hidden perk: even those who fail can order a dish once."
"Since you can do this, you should spoil them."
"What do you mean by pampering? This is just a normal way for the boss to show concern for his employees."
"Yes, yes, then let's go back."
Xia Zhi nodded and turned around: "Well, Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Lishui, Mr. Xiaoyue, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After watching Xia Zhi and the others walk away, True Monarch Xiaoyue whispered, "I've embarrassed you."
Zhongli calmly replied, "It's alright, just enjoy yourself. I've never beaten her myself. Let's go eat."
Li Shui Zhenjun whispered, "If we had known this person was going to participate, we would have registered in other regions."
The Moon-Slicing True Lord sighed, "Let's come again next year."
At noon, Xia Zhi cooked a table full of delicious dishes, including braised chicken, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, braised pork meatballs, and hot and sour shredded potatoes, to comfort the employees who were feeling down because of the failure.
Miss Yun Jin tasted delicious dishes she had never eaten before, and her eyes lit up.
Unfortunately, she had a very small appetite; she could only finish one bowl of rice before she couldn't eat anymore. She could only put down her chopsticks and sit down to the side, watching everyone else eat with a touch of envy.
After dinner, the Great Compassion Tree King went to the bathhouse to relax.
Out of curiosity, Xia Zhi quietly asked Xiao Laojing who the people participating in the finals that afternoon were.
Three familiar names appeared on the small old mirror.
Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback, put away the mirror, and couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful fate is.
By the time the Great Compassion Tree King finished its bath and came out, it was already past one o'clock. Everyone went to the Yiyan Hall together.
During the last cooking competition, Xia Zhi was cooking at the restaurant and didn't come over to join in the fun.
This time, I finally witnessed a massive crowd, which felt much more lively than when I came to offer incense to the Rock King when the shop opened.
The Great Compassion Tree King followed the staff who had been waiting there into the arena to prepare. Upon seeing the other three finalists, he was momentarily stunned.
