Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

The next morning, Su Qianqian slowly opened her eyes in a daze. The rising sun shone through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled on her, bringing a hint of warmth. The room was strangely quiet, with only her own breathing echoing.

Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly noticed something beside her. Su Qianqian was startled, her heart began to beat violently, and she almost fell off the bed. She looked closely and found that it was Ye Hanxing who was lying quietly beside her, breathing steadily, and seemed to be still asleep.

She then remembered that it was talking to Gu Yuan last night, and suddenly she couldn't remember anything. However, she didn't expect that it would be replaced the next day! Why would Ye Hanxing stay on her bed? "Her bed, she looked around again, damn! Is this... is this... is this Tingxi Building?" This sudden "surprise" scared her. She gently pushed Ye Hanxing, and Ye Hanxing opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Su Qianqian looking at him with horror, he immediately asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Su Qianqian shook her head and said, "You scared me to death, you... why did you bring me here, I... wasn't I studying medicine in Tianxia Building yesterday, and then... then I was cooking in the kitchen! How come I was... here?" Ye Hanxing curled his lips after hearing this, and he sat up: "I advise you not to always move your heart, and take care of your heart, otherwise things like last night will happen to you often, and I don't happen to be nearby every time!" Su Qianqian seemed to recall something little by little: "Ye Hanxing, you... you kissed me! You hooligan!" Ye Hanxing looked at her with the corner of his eyes, "If I hadn't been a hooligan in time, you... Su Qianqian would have..." Then Ye Hanxing left, "Remember what I said, take care of your own heart!"

Su Qianqian left Tingxi Tower, thinking as she walked: "What does Ye Hanxing mean by that? I should take care of my own heart!" Mi Tao ran over in a hurry: "Miss, what happened to you yesterday? Are you okay? General Gu and Prince Gu Liu are waiting for you to go back to the General's Mansion!"

Su Qianqian returned to the embrace of Tianxialou like a light swallow. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, as if she was covered with a layer of golden halo, making her look more mysterious and charming.

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng had been waiting for a long time. They came forward anxiously, their eyes flashing with concern and curiosity for Su Qianqian. However, Su Qianqian kept it a secret, with a mischievous smile on her lips.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?" She blinked and said mysteriously, "I'm going to find Dr. Xiao first. I haven't asked him for advice today."

After that, she turned and left, leaving a light laugh echoing in the air. Gu Yuan and Gu Peng looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness and doting in their eyes. They knew that Su Qianqian was such a quirky and unpredictable girl, and her every move was full of infinite charm and attraction.

Watching Su Qianqian's back gradually going away, Gu Yuan and Gu Peng couldn't help but sigh: This girl, really makes people love and hate her! But they also know that no matter what decision Su Qianqian makes, they will stand by her side without hesitation, support her, and accompany her forever.

So she didn't ask any more questions. However, in Su Qianqian's heart, she had been thinking: "When can Su Ning and I go back to our own places? She was a little selfish and wanted to possess this body forever!" As she thought about it, she walked to the room where the divine doctor Xiao was refining medicine. So she pushed the door open and entered. The divine doctor Xiao was grinding medicine at the time. "Come, come, come, Su girl, help the master grind medicine!" As he said that, the divine doctor Xiao left quickly, saying as he left: "The master will be back soon!" Su Qianqian walked to the stone medicine grinding table, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to fight a "death struggle" with a pile of colorful medicinal materials. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, but the pile of medicinal materials seemed to remain unmoved.

She held the pestle tightly with both hands. It was a heavy stick with traces of time on its surface. Su Qianqian took a deep breath and prepared to exert force again. But at this moment, her arm suddenly felt numb, as if she had been electrocuted. She subconsciously loosened her hand, and the pestle suddenly broke free from her restraints as if it had gained freedom.

The pestle rolled in the air, making a whistling sound like a cannonball. Su Qianqian widened her eyes, watching the stick draw a strange arc in the air. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the pestle hit the wall heavily, shaking the entire medicine room. An obvious dent instantly appeared on the wall, and the pestle slid weakly to the ground, rolling a few times before stopping.

Su Qianqian stared blankly at everything in front of her, her mind was blank. How could that pestle... suddenly fly out? She clearly didn't use too much force!

She came to her senses and quickly ran over to pick up the pestle. There was a crack on one end of the pestle, obviously caused by the impact just now. Su Qianqian touched the pestle distressedly. This was the treasure of the divine doctor Xiao, but now she had ruined it like this.

"Oh, how can I explain this to the miracle doctor?" Su Qianqian sighed, feeling helpless and regretful. She looked up and saw the miracle doctor Xiao walking in.

Doctor Xiao looked at the mess in the medicine room and the pestle lying on the ground. He was surprised at first, and then he smiled bitterly. "Su girl, you are really... How can I say this to you!" He shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Su Qianqian lowered her head, not daring to look into Doctor Xiao's eyes. She knew that she had really gotten into trouble this time. Doctor Xiao looked at her and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll let you go this time. But you better be careful next time!"

Su Qianqian said, "Thank you, Doctor Xiao!" Then she left in a flash, thinking as she walked, "It seems that I am really not suitable for studying medicine. Who cares? I'll just let Han Yancui stay by my side in the future!" Just then! A figure rushed out from the bushes next to her, scaring Su Qianqian. She looked closely and found that it was Han Yancui. "Ning'er, are you okay?" Han Yancui asked with concern. She had been protecting Su Qianqian in secret. Just now, she saw Su Qianqian coming out of Doctor Xiao's place with a dazed look on her face, so she hurried over to check on her.

"I'm fine, but..." Su Qianqian sighed and told Han Yancui everything that had just happened at the doctor Xiao's place.

After listening to her, Han Yancui comforted her, "Ning'er, don't be discouraged. Studying medicine is not an easy thing. It requires patience and carefulness. You just made such a small mistake due to negligence. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become an excellent doctor."

Su Qianqian felt a little better after hearing Han Yancui's words. "Thank you, Yan'er." Su Qianqian said gratefully, and Han Yancui smiled and nodded.

While she was happily chatting with Yan'er, the atmosphere in Tianxialou became extremely tense. A burly man, with an angry face, pointed at the dishes on the table in the center of the noisy restaurant and loudly vented his dissatisfaction to the diners around him. "Yan'er, sit down for a while, I'll go see what's going on"

"Is this what you call the best cooking skills in the world? It's really laughable! These dishes are simply ruining my appetite!" His voice echoed in the hall like thunder, shocking everyone present.

At this moment, Su Qianqian slowly walked out of the crowd. She was wearing a light and elegant dress, like a blooming lotus, fresh and refined. Facing the provocation of the big man, she did not retreat, but took a step forward, with a determined light in her eyes.

"Brother, you said our dishes taste mediocre. Then I would like to ask you, what kind of dishes can satisfy you?" Su Qianqian's voice was soft but full of power.

The big man glanced at her with contempt in his eyes: "Little girl, what do you know? Your cooking skills are probably not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Su Qianqian was not angry, but smiled faintly: "Since big brother said so, why don't we have a competition. You and I cook the same dish and let the diners here judge it, how about that?"

The big man was stunned. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would dare to challenge him. A sinister look flashed in his eyes, and then he said coldly: "Okay! Let's compete! I want to see what you can do!"

The atmosphere in the kitchen was extremely tense. Dahan and Su Qianqian were both fully focused on the competition. Every move and every look in their eyes was full of tension and intensity. As time passed, the two dishes were finally completed. Dahan's dish was a signature braised pork, bright in color and fragrant. Su Qianqian's dish was a homely stir-fried seasonal vegetable dish, which looked simple but exuded a fresh aroma.

The two dishes were brought to the center of the hall, and immediately aroused heated discussions among the diners. They gathered around and rushed to taste the two dishes.

After tasting the food, the diners' reactions were beyond Dahan's expectations. Although they praised his braised pork, they praised Su Qianqian's stir-fried seasonal vegetables even more. They thought that although this dish was simple, it better reflected the exquisite cooking skills and fresh ingredients.

The big man was stunned. He looked at Su Qianqian, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He couldn't accept this result, but he had to admit that he did lose to this seemingly weak woman.

Su Qianqian looked at him and said calmly: "Brother, cooking skills are not only about complexity and luxury, but also about simplicity and purity. I hope you can understand this truth."

After saying that, she turned and left. Her back looked particularly slender and soft under the light, as if she were a fairy. The diners present burst into thunderous applause and cheers. All of this was seen by Gu Yuan and Gu Peng: the two stood in the corner, silently watching the whole scene unfold. Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with appreciation, he saw Su Qianqian's talent in cooking and her unique insights into life, while Gu Peng's eyes were full of surprise, he didn't seem to expect that Su Ning could show such superb skills in cooking. But at that time, "Su Ning can't cook?"

After the competition, Su Qianqian did not leave immediately. She stood there, looking firmly at Gu Peng from Tianxialou, and said, "Gu Peng, I want to be a cook at Tianxialou."

Gu Peng was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Su Qianqian to make such a request. He looked at Su Qianqian, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by admiration. "Okay!"
