The competition officially began.
On Bai Zhi's side, two maids were enlisted to help with stoking the fire and cleaning the vegetables.
On Qiao Xiaomai's side, she had Tong Sanlang.
The four dishes and a soup she intended to make were Braised Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork, Sour and Spicy Fish, Hot Oil Cucumber, Soybean Pig's Trotters Soup, and cake.
Braised Pork was easy, she had made it many times. Secretly substituting the water in the bucket for the water from her storage space, she covered the pot and let Tong Sanlang simmer it over low heat.
As for the Sweet and Sour Pork, she searched through both the original owner's memory and the menus of Jiji Winehouse at Zuixian Building, but found no trace of this dish. Thus, this dish could be considered an innovation.
The Sour and Spicy Fish was made with her pickled cabbage from her storage space, which she had personally pickled before, and was extremely tasty.
