With a try-it-and-see attitude, I shared my thoughts with Ma Jiang.
I thought it wouldn't matter even if he couldn't cook it, as long as I had the ingredients for him to cook.
To his surprise, Ma Jiang lived up to expectations and brought over all the ingredients needed for the dish, including all the seasonings.
That's real skill.
It seemed like nothing was done, but the result was so unexpected.
Not only that, but he also took a lot of things that Lu Rong hadn't originally asked him to take.
He then pulled a small bag from his sleeve, which contained cucumbers, tomatoes, and various other vegetables.
It seems they just took extra as they pleased.
Of course, these days, it's better to have more of these kinds of situations than fewer.
Everyone expressed great satisfaction with Ma Jiang's performance this time.
"Thank you, Vice-Ma, I managed to get all the ingredients I wanted." Lu Rong looked at the ingredients in front of him, extremely satisfied.
If I were to go up there myself, I might not necessarily be able to get what I want.
The scene was so chaotic just now; many people were grabbing and scrambling.
Xu Fei also shook off his earlier gloom and couldn't stop smiling.
He thought to himself that he really couldn't beat Principal Ma.
Principal Ma is amazing; he brought so many things over without anyone noticing.
As expected, experience matters.
At this moment, not only Lu Rong and his team, but also the spectators on the sidelines saw Ma Jiang's fruitful harvest.
I was shocked.
"Look, that chubby middle-aged man actually brought back a lot of ingredients."
"What??? Am I seeing things? Wasn't he standing at the back of the line the whole time? He wasn't grabbing anything, so how could he possibly have so much stuff?"
"I don't know. I just saw him take out a chicken and several packages, more than many other people."
"That's strange. This guy didn't seem to do anything. He just followed behind the group and then slowly walked out. He didn't do anything."
"No matter how he did it, he did get their ingredients. It's shocking. I never expected the most amazing person to be here."
"This guy, could he know some kind of magical martial arts? He didn't do anything."
"Didn't you just record a video? Quickly check what's going on here!"
"I watched the video, and I have no idea how he did it. He looked completely harmless the whole time, just following the group around like an idiot, and then he came out with the group. When he came out, I saw what he was holding."
"Impressive, this is a true master. I've really learned something new today."
"Didn't one guy just say he'd run out naked if Lu Rong's team won? Now he'd better get ready."
"I knew it. Lu Rong is such a shrewd person. How could he send a useless person to steal ingredients? He must have a plan. Although I haven't figured out how they did it yet, they did get the ingredients."
"Lu Rong's team is indeed full of talented people, which is beyond my expectations."
Even Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui couldn't believe it.
Because of his advanced age, Li Shangui's eyesight was failing, so he rubbed them repeatedly.
They carefully observed Lu Rong and his group's every move.
"Holy crap, they actually got the ingredients. This guy's got some skills."
Li Shangui expressed his shock.
Seeing that Lu Rong and the others had ingredients, he naturally felt relieved.
He knew very well that as long as Lu Rong had the ingredients, he would not be eliminated.
Wu Zhengchuan, who was not far away, was also grinning from ear to ear.
Mingming had just stomped her feet in anger and cursed Ma Jiang's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jiang completed the task very well and obtained so many ingredients.
This was something he hadn't initially thought of.
Wu Zhengchuan even felt that Ma Jiang at this moment was a martial arts master who had been in seclusion for many years.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhengchuan unconsciously gave a thumbs-up to the location where Ma Jiang was.
However.
at the same time.
Some of the participants seemed to have discovered something.
Tang Haohan: "Damn it, where's my chicken? I just grabbed a whole chicken and brought it back to make chicken soup, but now it's gone?"
Tang Haohan was furious. He had just used his physical advantage to snatch back a lot of ingredients.
What he wanted most was naturally the whole chicken.
He wants to make old hen soup.
When they came back, they found that the old hen was gone.
If it was stolen by someone else, that would be understandable.
The key question now is how the old hen died; he has no idea.
It disappeared without a sound.
Then, other people noticed something was wrong.
"Damn it, where did my scallions, ginger, and garlic go? How am I supposed to make the ingredients now?"
"Damn it, since I didn't manage to grab anything, I picked up two or three unwanted sour papayas, and then those sour papayas disappeared too."
"What's that compared to what I got? I didn't get anything. I saw a few small chili peppers on the ground, so I picked them up, thinking I could give them some chili peppers to the judges and make them burn. I figured I couldn't win anyway, but when I came back, I found that all the chili peppers were gone."
"Who did this? How did they steal what I had?"
Many people who had already secured the ingredients found that their food had mysteriously disappeared.
But they couldn't find any reason for it, nor did they know when it disappeared.
It wasn't until they came out that they realized something was wrong, but by then it was too late.
Whether they were robbed or stolen from, they had nothing to say, since there was no rule saying they couldn't steal or rob.
If you fail to bring the ingredients out successfully, that's a failure.
For these complaints from competitors.
Lu Rong and the others naturally smiled without saying a word.
Although it wasn't clear how Ma Jiang actually did it, everyone could roughly guess that since Ma Jiang didn't rob, he must have stolen.
Of course, you can't use the word "steal".
That sounds awful; it should be called "take".
How can something done by a scholar be called stealing?
Yes, take it.
Our vice principal, Ma Jiang, simply noticed that some people didn't need these ingredients.
So I just grabbed it.
This is also about sharing the burden with others.
You're doing a good deed...
P.S.: I updated over 33,000 words today, I'm exhausted. I've been writing since this morning, and I haven't moved much except to go to the bathroom and eat. I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep now.
