Three hundred taels of silver.
Three hundred acres of farmland.
This was all that Qiao Xiaomai was worth.
Two hundred taels of which she had just recently obtained.
Bai Zhi had heard that Yang Ye had detoured to Bailu Town on his return to the capital, so out of desperation, she also went to Bailu Town.
She had intended to let Yang Ye taste her newly-learned dishes, but to her surprise, Yang Ye brought up a woman called Qiao Xiaomai.
Xiaomai?
What kind of strange name was that?
Wasn’t it too countrified?
As she had guessed, it was the name of a village girl, who also had a brother named Dami.
Considering this, one could infer how impoverished her family must be.
However, now this village girl, who seemed to have come out of nowhere, suddenly appeared in Yang Ye’s conversation, and was even complimented with one word: exquisite.
What did exquisite mean?
Exquisite: beautiful and good, clever, magical, youthful and young.
Such beautiful words!
But instead of being spoken about her, they were used to describe a village girl!
As a noblewoman, how could she endure this insult!
Yang Ye saw that she was unwilling to submit and brought her to Zuixian building to broaden her horizons. But once they arrived, it turned out that the village girl was also there.
Good, she woouldn’t need to make another trip now.
Without thinking, she immediately proposed a culinary competition.
No, to be exact, she demanded a culinary duel.
Qiao Xiaomai had to accept the challenge.
After seeing how Qiao Xiaomai held the banknotes as if they were precious, she thoughtlessly brought up the stakes.
Three hundred acres of farmland, as Yang Ye had told her.
Three hundred taels of silver, a random guess on her part.
Hmph. A village girl with a bit of beauty and some cooking skills. Bai Zhi intended to stomp her underfoot. She wanted Yang Ye to see that Qiao Xiaomai, who had sprung up from God knows where, was not worthy of the word ‘exquisite’.
She was nothing compared to even one of her fingers!
Bai Zhi’s casual words hit the nail on the head. Three hundred acres of farmland and three hundred taels of silver, just exactly the worth of Qiao Xiaomai.
After hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Qiao Xiaomai remained calm.
In terms of culinary skills, she had fresh ideas and the water from the spiritual spring in her space, so she was not afraid.
What she was unsure about was whether this noblewoman she knew nothing about would cause her trouble if she ended up winning.
As an ordinary person, she was really incapable of challenging an aloof and high-ranking noblewoman.
“What, are you afraid?” Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai had not responded, Bai Zhi asked, her eyebrows raised, her tone filled with clear contempt and superiority.
Qiao Xiaomai pondered a moment, then slowly replied, “I can only make a few simple dishes. My skills are rudimentary. 1 dare not compete with a noblewoman like you.”
“Ah, don’t worry about it. Feel free to compete. No one will harm you.” Yang Ye interjected. He again sprawled out in his chair, his fancy clothes, handsome face, noble and lazy air intertwined, like an arrogant cat.
“What do you mean by that?” Bai Zhi was somewhat angry at his words.
“No special meaning. Don’t overthink it. After all, it’s not certain you will lose.”
Bai Zhi got even more infuriated. She slapped the table, stood up, and the small bells in her hair chimed with her movement. “Yang Ye, do you look down on my cooking skills?!”
“Huh? 1 didn’t say that.”
“But that’s what you’re thinking!” Bai Zhi’s cheeks flushed due to anger.
“Regardless of the result, don’t you already have plans on how you’re going to retaliate against her?” Yang Ye lifted his eyes to look at her..
