Eating meat as a late-night snack is absolutely a legitimate and correct thing to do.

Eating a bellyful of vegetables at the risk of gaining weight is a desecration of one's status as the top of the food chain.

After finishing a large bowl of rice, Ye Feng began preparing the second dish.

This dish belongs to the Jiangzhe cuisine. Honey-glazed ham is mainly sweet and savory, with a bright red color, clear gravy, tender and juicy ham, and a fresh and sweet taste that leaves a lasting impression.

The main reason for choosing this dish is because of the current environment. Although these straight male disciples are really incompetent, Ye Feng still wants to try his best.

Honey-glazed ham is very visually appealing, especially when the sugar syrup is poured on during the final step of preparation. Under the glossy effect, it is simply stunning.

The ham is made using the techniques of Shengling Lava Black Pig and Jinhua ham. The glutinous rice is the fruit of glutinous rice seeds that have been soaked and sprouted in genuine Heavenly Spring Water and then irrigated with Heavenly Spring Water to grow. The pine nuts are from the thousand-year-old welcoming pine tree on the highest peak of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. The lotus seeds are hollow lotus seeds obtained by removing the ends and extracting the lotus heart from the lotus pods in the Heavenly Spring Pool. Although there aren't many items, these are all top-quality ingredients, truly high-end internal supplies that Ye Feng uses to cook for his own disciples.

A person cannot stand without integrity. Since Ye Feng had made a promise, he would naturally not go back on his word.

Ye Feng had already placed the ham in the steamer, and after steaming it for a while, he lifted the lid.

A thick fog rose, making the ham look even more tempting as it was shrouded in mist.

Ye Feng took out the ham and, with swift, precise movements, cut the ham into small pieces, each 2 centimeters long, wide, and high. The rosy ham had a very strong fibrous texture, making it a delicious food even without further processing.

What Ye Feng did here was quite ordinary, but it was a different story to outsiders. The disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect were used to it, but it was a completely different story to the people of the Myriad Flowers Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, and Huanfeng.

"My goodness! If our Blood Demon Sect's patriarch were to be hit by sword energy of this level, he wouldn't be much different from this chunk of flesh, would he?"

"I think so too. Although this sword energy is short and solid, it feels incredibly terrifying to me. It's like a huge sword mountain bursting with endless sword light. If I get even a little bit of it, I'm afraid I'll die."

"Just thinking about eating meat cut with this kind of sword energy is so exciting."

"Now I finally understand why the kitchen helpers of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect are so sought after. They spend all day looking at such profound and exquisite sword techniques. If they can grasp even one percent of the essence of these techniques, it will be enough to make great progress on the path of cultivation."

"Another day of envying the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and now there's one more reason."

"Wow, Ye Zhizun looks so handsome cooking! I heard he doesn't have a Daoist partner yet, I wonder..."

"He's so handsome. The sword light in his hand makes him look like an immortal descended to earth. He's the perfect choice for a Daoist partner."

When Ye Feng is cooking, he becomes completely oblivious to what's going on outside. Although their discussions are quite loud, they have almost no impact on Ye Feng.

After cutting the ham into chunks, Ye Feng took out a large bowl, poured in the slightly steamed glutinous rice, and then added some honey, salt, chopped lotus seeds and pine nuts. He mixed it well and set it aside for later use.

Ye Feng took out a pile of white porcelain bowls, evenly arranged the ham pieces at the bottom of the bowls, then spread the glutinous rice on top of the ham, and then evenly arranged the lotus seeds around the edge of the white porcelain bowls before placing them in the steamer.

Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye. After all, for waiting diners, every second feels like an eternity. But actually, about 40 minutes have passed in the steamer. When the lid is lifted, a rich steam rises up, carrying the aroma of ham and the fragrance of glutinous rice, making one want to take a deep breath.

After taking out the white porcelain plate, Ye Feng simply flipped it over onto the white porcelain bowl, and a bowl of honey-glazed ham was ready.

"Wow...it's so beautiful, those little squares of meat look so interesting."

"Is it funny? I just want to eat it..."

"Eat it +1".

"Eat +2".

"Ye Zhizun's food is both visually appealing and delicious, offering not only a sensory delight but also a visual feast."

"Not enough."

"That's right, and...what?! Not enough?!"

Li Wushuang, who was about to agree, suddenly stopped and looked incredulously at the source of the voice.

Wu Qiuyu exchanged a glance with Li Wushuang and nodded as a greeting.

Li Wushuang has watched Wu Qiuyu's videos many times tonight, but each time she watches them, she is still amazed.

This woman is absolutely gorgeous!

Whether it was himself or his junior sister, Qingcheng, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the immortal realm, they both seemed to be at a disadvantage compared to this woman. Her features, her temperament, her figure, and her sins all seemed to be the most perfect masterpieces of heaven.

Wu Qiuyu patiently explained, "It's a bit early to praise its appearance now. The true appearance of this honey-glazed ham hasn't been revealed yet, so please wait and see."

"What? Even after all this, it's still not the final version?"

How beautiful is the final version?

"I was wondering why Ye Zhizun didn't send us this white porcelain bowl this time. Is it still unfinished and considered a semi-finished product?"

"I guess so. Look, Ye Zhizun is still busy. He's even made another pot. Is he going to stir-fry it again?"

"I can't wait to see what the ultimate form looks like!"

"Slurp... My saliva tells me that I can't hold on much longer. I just hope that Master Ye can cook this dish a little faster."

"Good food is worth the wait... I can slurp for another half minute..."

Ye Feng was indeed controlling the wok at this moment, but he wasn't stir-frying the already steamed ham and glutinous rice, and he certainly wasn't using the stir-frying cooking method.

There was a small pot of spring water in his pot, then he grabbed a handful of rock sugar, poured in some sesame oil, and slowly melted the rock sugar over low heat. Ye Feng then poured some honey into the pot.

Stir-fry over low heat, just like caramelizing sugar, but it's a little different.

To caramelize sugar, you need to use a higher heat to get the desired brown color. However, the honey glaze that Ye Feng wants to make requires colorless sugar syrup.

Seeing small bubbles rising evenly in the pot, Ye Feng extinguished the fire and suspended all the pots not far above the white porcelain plate.

Everyone knew that the truly exciting moment was about to arrive.

Ye Feng scooped a full spoonful of syrup from the pot with an iron spoon, hovering it over the ham in the white porcelain plate. He flipped the spoon handle, and the thick, white syrup slowly dripped onto the ham, flowing down the ham like white lava.

"Gulp..."

At that moment, countless people couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes glued to the plate, unwilling to look away for even a second.
