Chapter 166 Cooking Competition [I]

"I was wrong. I deserve to die."

Hou Yuanji quickly begged for mercy, but Xuan Qi had no intention of letting go.

He turned to Xie Jingci and said, "Master, I might as well just kill this bastard official and say he died in the earthquake. No one will suspect anything."

In the face of natural disasters, anyone could die.

He really wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Hou Yuanji.

"Xuan Qi, let go."

Xie Jingci said calmly: "We can't kill him for now."

Keeping Hou Yuanji would greatly intensify the relationship between the Hou and Wang families.

"Yes, Master."

Xuan Qi let go, and Hou Yuanji fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

Why did this person just start fighting?

Another narrow escape.

Thank you grandma, thank you ancestors.

Thanks to Lu Wanyin for saving my life.

Hou Yuanji felt very relieved.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Xuan Qi helping Xie Jingci leave, and he had no intention of chasing after them.

No, it is urgent to ease the relationship between these two masters.

Hou Yuanji knew very well that he would only be happy if these two were happy.

A guard walked by carrying something.

Hou Yuanji kept his eyes glued to him until the other person walked away.

He braced himself.

What did you think of just now?

The guard came back with something, and Hou Yuanji couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get such tender cucumbers?"

The guard held the washed cucumber, which still had green stems.

Just like it was just picked.

It’s hard to imagine how delicious this must be.

I saw Lu Wanyin and the others eating this last time. It’s been a few days. Why is there still this?

It is well preserved.

The guard walked around him, carrying the freshly washed vegetables in his hands. "It can't be helped. Our lady's pet is so powerful that it can always find food."

Hou Yuanji choked again.

Why didn't he have such a good pet in his life?

Ding dang dang.

The sound of cutting vegetables was clearly coming from a long distance, but it reached Hou Yuanji's ears very clearly.

He couldn't concentrate anyway.

Finally, I couldn't help it and came forward to ask: "Brothers, what are you going to do?"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.

Half of the cucumbers that have just been washed have been pounded and are ready to be mixed into cold dishes.

Half was shredded and set aside.

Hou Yuanji swallowed his saliva and said, "How about you guys cook?"

This is not a question you ask knowingly.

No one paid any attention to him.

Hou Yuanji continued to swallow his saliva: "It's so cold, and you're still making cold dishes, aren't you feeling cold?"

"Sizzle—"

What answered Hou Yuanji was the sound of a large bowl of diced meat being poured into a wok of hot oil.

Xuan Yi was waving the ladle skillfully and stir-frying the diced meat.

Madam said that they would be ready to leave once the last few guards gathered.

Before leaving, I have to prepare a good meal for the people here.

Is there anything more pleasant than a bowl of steaming hot noodles in the winter?

It just so happened that the big iron pots dug out from the villagers' homes these two days were basically all in good condition.

Everyone used gravel and bricks to build a simple kitchen.

Lu Wanyin even took out a few jars of ready-made wine from the space.

This is what a god's life is like.

After just a few stir-fries, the aroma of the meat wafted out, attracting the villagers who were in charge of chopping wood and lighting the fire to come over frequently.

"It smells so good! Guard Xuanyi has this kind of cooking skill!"

"Yeah, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to still have meat to eat now, thanks to the general and the lady... Ouch, what are you doing?"

The villager who was speaking was being grabbed by his wife's ear. "It hurts! It hurts! If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Talk nicely!"

His wife scolded him with a smile, "Don't use the general and his wife as a shield. Your firewood is about to hit my pot lid! If you don't keep the fire going properly, you still want to eat the food made by Guard Xuanyi!"

The villager looked up and laughed, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Who told Guard Xuanyi to cook it so deliciously?"

It was a brief interlude, and the people on the side burst into laughter.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Hou Yuanji was stunned for a long time.

Lu Wanyin and the others are really amazing.

They are the only ones who care about the life and death of these untouchables.

Even in such difficult times, we gave them such rare meat to eat.

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
