The young man at the side picked up two pieces of celery leaves with chopsticks and placed them on a small plate.

Respectfully brought it to the old man.

The old man looked at the celery leaves on the plate and asked with some doubt:

"It smells like celery, but the leaves don't look like celery at all."

But the old man didn't think much about it and put the celery into his mouth while it was still hot.

Before you even take a sip, a unique fragrance hits your nose.

As the old man chewed, the unique refreshing taste of celery instantly filled his entire mouth.

The old man's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but speed up his chewing.

"Where did you buy this celery? It tastes very special." The old man put down his chopsticks with a reluctant look.

"This is what I just brought back from the Greater Khingan Range. They call it big-leaf celery over there." Old Liu said with a smile.

"Large-leaf celery? The name is quite appropriate. But this thing tastes much better than celery!" The old man nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing the old man's affirmation, the others looked at each other and picked up their chopsticks to taste the food.

Everyone was chewing the celery in their mouths, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"This... this is so fresh, so delicious!"

"This large-leaf celery not only tastes delicious, but also has a unique sweetness. It is really a rare delicacy!" someone exclaimed.

At this time, a man with a scar on his face suddenly said, "President, can you tell us where we can buy celery? I want to bring some back for my family to try."

Old Liu thought for a moment and replied: "This thing is only available in spring. It is not delicious when it is old. And it is only available in Daxing'anling. My grandfather didn't bring back more."

Hearing what Mr. Liu said, everyone shook their heads in disappointment.

As if he could see the disappointment of the crowd, Mr. Liu smiled and said:

"Don't worry! There are still several dishes to come, you can try them all."

After saying that, he went back into the kitchen.

After busying around in the kitchen for a while, Mr. Liu brought out a few more dishes.

They are fried eggs with prickly ash, cold-mixed cat's claw vegetables, and pork belly stewed with sauerkraut.

After eating the stir-fried celery, everyone was already eager to try it outside.

When they saw Mr. Liu bringing the dishes to the table, they all came forward to taste them.

"What are these? I know the pickled cabbage, but what are these two? They are so delicious!"

"President! You've gained a lot from this trip! Your cooking skills have improved so much!"

"Yes! Yes! It looks like we have a chance to regain the title of Asia's Greatest Chef in this year's competition!"

When the words "Asian Cooking God" were mentioned, Mr. Liu's eyes darkened instantly and he sighed:

"Alas... It's not that I'm good at cooking, it's just that the ingredients are good. I just used home cooking techniques."

"But..." Mr. Liu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes instantly regained their luster, and he quickly changed the subject.

"But the biggest gain of my trip was meeting a young man whose cooking skills are quite good, even not inferior to mine."

"What!!!!" everyone exclaimed.

"Don't joke, President. The only people in China who are better at cooking than you are Elder Long and Elder Ye."

"That's right, you're just making fun of us."

At this time, Liu Jiajia on the side couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:

"Humph, don't disbelieve me, Brother Meng Fei's cooking is delicious, much better than Grandpa's!"

Hearing Liu Jiajia's words, the old man in the main seat raised his head and asked with a smile:

"Jia Jia, is what you said true?"

"Grandpa Long, it's true. I was gone for four days, and when I came back I stepped on the scale and found I had gained eight pounds!"

"Hahaha~~Okay~Okay~Okay~Grandpa Long believes in you. I believe in you."

The old man laughed out loud at Liu Jiajia's amusement, and then turned his gaze to Mr. Liu.

"Second brother, do you think that young man has a chance of defeating Watanabe Ichiro?"

Hearing the master's question, Mr. Liu nodded without hesitation:

“Fifty percent!”

Everyone was stunned, it was actually 50%!

Although it's only a 50-50 split, even Mr. Liu doesn't dare to say that he can be evenly matched with Asian chef god Watanabe Ichiro!

And the young man he was talking about actually could do it, so you can imagine how highly Mr. Liu thinks of him.

"Okay, you all go back... I have something to say to the second brother..."

Seeing that Master Long had ordered everyone to leave, everyone felt it was not appropriate to stay any longer and so they all said goodbye and left.

============

At this time, Meng Fei had already returned to the village with a group of small animals.

The sun had already set when he entered the village. After Meng Fei settled the little animals, he ate a quick meal and lay down to rest.

This was a very tiring day for Meng Fei. He had to grill skewers, go into the mountains, and even crawl through a cave. It was quite exhausting.

I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.

At midnight, my second uncle's dog suddenly started barking wildly.

Meng Fei, who was still sleeping soundly, frowned, turned over and continued to sleep.

But in the next second, a shrill wolf howl resounded through the night sky.

“Ah!~~~~~”

Meng Fei suddenly sat up from the kang, without thinking too much, rushed out of the room, picked up the shovel at the door and rushed out.

The Snow Leopard couple reacted the most strongly. When they heard the familiar wolf howl, they rushed out of the yard and looked around.

Meng Fei originally thought that the wolves had entered the village to take revenge on him, but when he rushed out of the yard, he saw a black shadow limping slowly towards the village.

When the black shadow saw Meng Fei's figure, it wailed with all its strength, then fell to the ground and never got up again.

Seeing this, Meng Fei hurried over.

“That’s it!”

Although it was night, Meng Fei recognized the figure at a glance. It was the black wolf king who had besieged him and the snow leopard couple before.

At this moment, its physical condition looked very bad, with scars all over its body, large and small wounds.

And most of them were gunshot wounds!

Some of these wounds were still oozing blood, while others had already solidified into dark red blood scabs.

It looked like he had just experienced a fierce battle.

Meng Fei couldn't help but frown, thinking that something was not good.

The leader of a wolf pack rarely appears alone, and this situation can only mean one thing.

The wolf pack was wiped out.

"Damn it! It must have been done by those guys!"

There was a murderous look on Meng Fei's face, and anger was burning in his heart.

Meng Fei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that acting impulsively at this moment would not solve any problems, but would make things worse.

What he needs to do most now is to save the wolf king!

Thinking of this, Meng Fei quickly picked up the wolf king and ran towards home.

At this time, my second uncle and his wife were also awakened by the wolf's howling and walked out of the yard.

Seeing Meng Fei carrying the wolf home, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He quickly followed Meng Fei into the house.

It was dark just now and Meng Fei didn't see the wolf king's injuries clearly, but he carried him into the house and put him on the kang.

Meng Fei couldn't help but take a breath.
