Chapter 8: Doing Shit?
Chen Hai and Ling Feng were a bit unlucky and bitter.
Their luck couldn't be so bad. They originally planned to come secretly to tell Xiao Wu about the competition, but they didn't expect that the master's wife would come.
According to their understanding, the master's wife hadn't appeared for several days.
"Hello, master's wife!" The two of them hurriedly got up and saluted.
Xia Wanrong said unhappily: "Why are you always sneaking around? But it's just right for you to come. Just in time to try Xiao Wu's new self-researched dish. I won't lie to you, this is really delicious, Xiao Wu, take a bowl."
Chen Hai and Ling Feng were crying when they heard it.
Why did you have to come today? Master's wife, you are lying to us.
"Third brother, fourth brother." Li Dan brought two bowls excitedly.
Huh?
Looking at the colorful meatballs and sweet fragrance in the bowl, the two were stunned.
This time it was not pumpkin and sweet potato soup. They were both ready to continue to have diarrhea.
The two looked at each other, then took the spoon and swallowed it into their mouths. Just like that, they looked at Li Dan and Master's wife in disbelief.
Then they stamped their feet happily and said incoherently: "It's delicious, delicious, Junior Brother, is this really something you studied?"
"Yeah, I made it blindly, how does it taste?" Li Dan asked.
"Delicious, too delicious, I can't describe it in words anymore," Ling Feng hurriedly ate the second one.
Chen Hai opened his mouth and ate three more: "Old Four is right, it's too fragrant, I was scared just now, I thought it was Master's wife who taught you..."
Suddenly, the temperature of the whole kitchen dropped.
Chen Hai's hand trembled, and Ling Feng moved the bowl to the side.
Soon, there was a clapping sound in the kitchen.
"Is my cooking bad?"
"So that's what you've always thought of me."
"Your master didn't say anything, so it's your turn to comment on my cooking skills?"
"Xiao Wu cooked so well, that's because I led him in, and it's also my credit."
"Master's wife, I was wrong, I was really wrong, spare me——"
…………
After a while, Chen Hai squatted in front of the stove with a swollen nose and face, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.
He looked very happy.
Ling Feng picked up the spoon and scooped a few more for himself, not even letting go of the soup.
"So, you two signed up for Xiao Wu?" Xia Wanrong said.
Ling Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, we didn't expect Xiao Wu to cook so deliciously. With this skill alone, he will definitely be in the top ten and get 50,000 points."
Xia Wanrong looked at Li Dan, and her mind became active.
After all, the third and fourth brothers said just now that Lu Shiyao was also a judge. With her female taste, she thought that the four-joy meatballs were really delicious. If it could be used as the signature dish of Tianya Haige, it would be even better.
I guess all the girls in Yingluo Peak like to eat meatballs.
Forget about being the top of the list, she still has self-knowledge, but 50,000 points can be exchanged for a high-quality Huayuan Pill from the sect.
Xiaowu is now at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and he should reach the next level with three more levels, which will be just right for use in two or three years.
I support this competition with both hands.
"Xiaowu, what do you think?" Xia Wanrong looked at Li Dan.
Li Dan was pondering, not to mention that the day before the competition in 20 days was just the day he completed it by self-discipline.
At that time, he would be a top chef, and he would have confidence if he participated.
But not in the top ten, but at the top of the list.
100,000 points, he will be of great use, and more importantly, he can take the whole Taihua Peak to eat half-price meals, which is the most cost-effective.
"I'll participate!" Li Dan said.
Xia Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Chen Hai and Ling Feng, both of whom showed a look of as expected.
This child, after all, is for Lu Shiyao.
If Lu Shiyao doesn't participate, he probably won't go either.
"Okay, you should train well here during this period of time. If you need any materials, ask your two senior brothers. But I have to say one thing. If you want to enter the top ten, in addition to deliciousness, the more important thing is the selection of ingredients.
The same dish is delicious, but the ingredients are all hundreds or thousands of years old. Huozao Peak can't afford to let everyone make it. Therefore, the dish should be simple, beautiful and delicious. I guess this is the unanimous standard of the judges."
Xia Wanrong hesitated for a moment and reminded. It must be said that women look at things differently.
Chen Hai and Ling Feng admired it. The master's wife is the master's wife.
Li Dan certainly understood this. He was confident that he had always selected the simplest ingredients.
"By the way, teach me how to make the four-happiness meatballs later, and I will make it for your master."
The next moment, Xia Wanrong said a little embarrassedly, and Chen Hai and Ling Feng hurriedly pretended not to hear.
Li Dan smiled and was happy for his master.
"Okay!"
…………
Time passed day by day, and Li Dan's skills became more and more proficient, which Chen Hai and Ling Feng saw.
Talent, absolute talent.
And the two people sitting on the table with their cheeks in their hands, who were supposed to help Li Dan taste the dishes and give suggestions for revisions, were really envious and jealous of Li Dan's focused expression when he was cooking.
You said it was strange.
It has been more than ten years since the little brother was brought back by the master. They say that you can tell a person's future from his childhood.
At that time, he didn't like to talk. Whether he was happy or wronged, he pretended and was not good at expressing himself.
Like a tumbler, it turned when touched.
You said Lu Shiyao went to Taihua Peak to get something, and after he saw her, how did she suddenly become enlightened?
The next day, she took the tin trumpet she made and shouted.
It really scared them, and she persisted for 99 days.
She immediately learned to cook.
And in just a few days, the food became more and more delicious.
They don't know how to cook, but they also know that the combination of ingredients is very important, and some may even react and be poisonous.
For example, the mushroom soup made by the master's wife for the master.
There are also ingredients that contain spiritual power, which will damage the body's functions if eaten.
There are also some good meals that are passed down from ancestors and rely on them for food, and the secret recipes are very important.
But they have seen it in the past few days, and he laughed while cooking.
He pondered for a while from time to time, and immediately played with new dishes, as if they were engraved in his mind, without the need to test and match.
Absolutely!
The love saint and the god of food, with these two identities, it is enough!
This Lu Shiyao really has no vision.
"Okay, two senior brothers, please give us some comments on this crab roe soup dumplings!"
The two of them stood up immediately...
………………
Yingluo Peak!
Lu Shiyao sat alone in front of the window, a little confused, because a few days had passed and Li Dan still hadn't shown up.
What did he mean by this.
Did he really want to cook spicy red-backed worms for himself on the day of the competition?
It should be, after all, as a judge, she already knew that Li Dan had signed up, and as of today, the number of applicants has reached 1,600.
Of course, a large part of them came for the 100 points, and nearly 90% of them came from the outer sect.
I'm afraid they will be screened out in a few moves.
There are very few inner sect disciples, only a few.
As for the direct disciples, there is only Li Dan.
On the one hand, the inner sect and direct disciples are so small that it feels so embarrassing to cook.
On the other hand, how can I compare with those people who went out to study in the kitchen?
I heard that they have unique fire control skills, which makes the food more delicious.
Besides, they looked down on 100 points. If they went out to take risks, they might get 1,000 or 2,000 points. It would be embarrassing to be laughed at as a cook, and it would also bring discredit to their master.
Therefore, Li Dan's registration was very abrupt. He was the only disciple.
But no one laughed at him, and even admired him.
Because everyone knew what his purpose was.
"Am I really too cold?" Lu Shiyao said to herself under the moonlight. She really wanted to go to Taihua Peak again.
But she felt a little unrestrained.
Hang on, the competition will start in ten days.
Lu Shiyao thought so.
But now at Taihua Peak, not only Xia Wanrong, but also Master Tian Zhen came.
The four sat at the table and looked at the busy Li Dan.
Xia Wanrong wanted to help cut vegetables, but Li Dan quickly refused.
This was his "experience". Xia Wanrong thought that Xiaowu didn't want her to work hard, and she was moved.
Because if a woman cooks too much, her hands will become wrinkled, and even if she faces the fumes for a long time, she will become a yellow-faced woman prematurely.
This is what Li Dan told her.
Tomorrow is the day of the competition, and tonight is Li Dan's last midnight snack.
Snail noodles with stinky tofu!
The four people have been greedy for this period of time, and even though it is so smelly, they did not escape.
It smells bad, but tastes good. Is there really such a thing?
They are waiting and want to try it.
Anyway, just believe Xiaowu!
But no one noticed that at the foot of Taihua Peak, there was a wind formation rotating. In the center of the formation, Bao Youwei sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
And in front of him, a super-large illusory nose appeared miraculously.
It was very long and big.
And behind the formation, several people were sneaking around, holding a grass in front of them.
"It's really amazing. This is the first time I've seen this legendary wind magic array."
"Me too. After all, Boss Bao is the only son of the peak master. This kind of magic must be taught."
"Legend has it that depending on the level of cultivation, the farthest one can smell the wind is 300 miles away. I don't know if it's true or not."
"I think it's true. This is the famous skill of our peak master. I heard that there are also magical powers such as clairvoyance and clairaudience. I don't know if Senior Brother Bao has learned it."
"I don't know about this, but it's still a long shot. I heard that it's super difficult. It's better to bite off more than you can chew. After Senior Brother Bao masters this magical power, he will definitely learn the other two."
"I don't think it's necessary. After all, Li Dan is a layman. What delicious food can he make?"
"It doesn't matter if we take a look. After all, Boss Bao is going to give Li Dan a slap in the face this time. It would be even better if he can get the favor of Senior Sister Lu."
"Shh, don't talk. Boss has found the kitchen."
The few people suddenly quieted down, and then looked at Bao Youwei on the magic array. His whole body suddenly trembled violently, and the nose thing in front of him turned yellow and black.
The next moment, the formation suddenly broke.
Bao Youwei fell to the ground and vomited, wow wow wow--
Several people were stunned. It is said that this formation can amplify the smell a hundred times for analysis.
Did the boss find the wrong place?
Bao Youwei continued to vomit violently. Several people patted his back and felt sympathy for him as he almost vomited bile.
This must be a toilet.
Bao Youwei's face turned pale, and he stood up shakily. He was completely relieved, but more angry, pointing at Taihua Peak and cursing.
"Fuck you, are you doing shit? If you don't have the diamond, don't take this porcelain job. I thought your two senior brothers were deliberately disturbing the audience. The feelings are real, ugh~~, it's strange that Lu Shiyao would like you, ugh~~"
On Taihua Peak, the five people were eating happily.
It smells so good——
It's a pity that the eldest and the second brother were on a mission outside and didn't come back.
No luck to enjoy it.
