Xue Jing stepped aside and pulled Long Ling into a private conversation. Meanwhile, Nian Bing stood aimlessly until Ming Yuan approached him and asked softly, "Nian Bing, what dish are you planning to prepare?"
Nian Bing responded, "Master Ming, are there specific rules or requirements for this competition? This is my first time participating."
Ming Yuan stated, "The requirements are simple, each side must create three of their most impressive dishes within an hour. Then the judges will decide the winner. Dacheng Restaurant has significant backing, its owner Jin Hao is the uncle of the current King of the Bing Yue Empire. His sister is the King's favorite consort. Given this relationship, unless there's a significant difference in dish taste, the result will still be a draw. Do you understand what I mean?"
