Wei Xiaobao said, "You've removed the surface stench, but you haven't removed the fishy smell inside the duck gizzards!"

Yue Zhuoran said, "The duck gizzards have been boiled in boiling water. Moreover, I added rice wine, ginger, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns to the boiling water, which completely removes the fishy smell from inside the duck gizzards!"

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao had no words to refute it.

Duolong said, "Sect Leader Yue, didn't you notice that the duck you slaughtered was a sick duck?"

"A sick duck?" Yue Zhuoran exclaimed in surprise. "How old are you? What do you mean by that?"

Duolong said in a serious tone, "Because it was a sick duck, its droppings were particularly smelly, which caused the inside of the duck gizzard to be filled with a fishy odor. No matter how long Master Yue boiled it in boiling water with spices, he could not completely remove the fishy smell from the inside of the duck gizzard!"

"This...this..." Yue Zhuoran stammered.

Li Huan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter!

Wu Sangui and Wu Yingqi exchanged a glance, their expressions helpless.

Yue Zhuoran's face turned bright red, and he raised his voice!

"You're so old! You can look down on my cooking skills, but you can't insult my intelligence!"

“I, Yue Zhuoran, have lived for over forty years. How could I not be able to tell that a duck is sick?”

"Besides, how could I possibly use a sick duck as an ingredient when participating in such a grand 'Martial Arts Culinary Competition'?"

Yue Zhuoran became more and more excited as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.

Duolong laughed and said, "Sect Leader Yue, calm down. I only determined that you used a sick duck as an ingredient after analysis. If my judgment is wrong, you can provide evidence to prove that your duck was not a sick duck!"

"Produce evidence?" Yue Zhuoran was dumbfounded...
