Chapter 167 Cooking Competition [Part 2]
“Give me a plate!”
The diced meat was already finely chopped, so it was almost cooked after just a few turns.
Just as Xuan Yi was about to serve the diced meat, he heard the sizzling sound of ingredients being put into the pot from the other side.
They don't have anything else here, just a lot of pots.
Some of them were deformed, but several guards used their internal strength to bend them back to their original shape so that they were no longer affected.
With several dishes being fried at the same time, Hou Yuanji felt that his eyes were not enough.
"Xuanwu, are the radishes cut?"
At this moment, Xuan Yi looked like a real chef.
On the other side, the shovel in Xuan Jiu's hand was almost smoking.
"Xuanwu, have you prepared the fish?"
The two of them seemed to be competing with each other and comparing themselves secretly.
Xuanwu was almost crying.
He was slicing carrots with a "clang, clang, clang" sound, and the dagger in his hand left an afterimage.
Hearing the sounds coming from both sides at the same time, he was even more confused.
Seeing this, the guard who had just returned from washing vegetables volunteered, "Leave the fish to me."
He picked up the fish thrown into the big basin and turned away.
The fish had been kept in Lu Wanyin's space for several days. It looked fat and strong.
Being held in the hands of the guards, he kept struggling, splashing water all over Xuan Wu's face as he was chopping vegetables furiously.
On Xuanyi's side, the diced meat has been served and he has started to make the sauce.
Xuan Jiu glanced at the progress here and started to prepare the sweet and sour sauce without being outdone.
Xuanwu quickly peeled the tomato, which looked like a small lantern.
With a few swishes, it was cut into cubes.
This tomato is sweet with a hint of sourness, which is perfect for this purpose.
If the tomatoes are chopped finely and stir-fried in hot oil, they will become a red sauce.
I took a quick taste and found that even without vinegar, the taste was not diminished at all.
The guard killed the fish very efficiently.
After taking out the tomato sauce, Xuan Jiu cut the killed fish into pieces.
He had taken a jar of wine and set it aside in advance. He removed the mud seal, poured some wine on the fish, and marinated it slightly.
Not long after, they added oil to fry again.
The hot oil suddenly began to boil, and the mist it brought up almost blinded everyone's eyes.
On the other side, Xuan Yi, not to be outdone, put the fried sauce aside and went to check the noodles he had kneaded in advance.
Fancy fried fish here.
Over there is a dazzling array of ramen.
Lu Wanyin was so overwhelmed by what she saw that she almost thought she was seeing the legendary cooking competition before the end of the world.
Almost at the same time.
Xuan Jiu took out the fish and easily crushed the garlic cloves to stir-fry.
Xuan Yi pulled the noodles together and threw them into the pot casually.
As the sauce gradually thickens, the aroma spreads.
The noodles, each strand distinct from the other, were rolling in the pot.
Not to mention Hou Yuanji, everyone present didn't know where to look.
Just when everyone was wondering who would win between the two.
Who would have thought that the other side would finish first.
"The stir-fried pork with peppers is ready. Xuanwu, bring a basin! Peel some more garlic. This eggplant is so fresh, I have to roast one."
Poor Xuanwu had just finished cutting onions when he was called to peel garlic with tears in his eyes.
Only then did everyone realize that there was someone quietly doing something important nearby.
This meal was the most sumptuous one ever.
Not to mention the two staple foods, there are more than a dozen meat dishes alone.
Pheasant stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried rabbit, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, braised pork in brown sauce, steamed spareribs...
Needless to say, the vegetarian dishes were filled up in the open space in the middle.
Hou Yuanji's eyes widened.
He is the legitimate son of a marquis and will never be a slave.
Unless the meals are provided.
A village woman came over and was about to arrange the dishes and chopsticks when she saw Hou Yuanji standing there with his eyes almost popping out.
"Brother, move aside."
The village woman patted him, feeling that he was a bit of a nuisance.
Hou Yuanji was already weak and had been hungry for two days, so he fell to the ground with just one push.
This frightened the village woman, and she looked at Lu Wanyin at a loss: "Madam, I really didn't use much strength."
Lu Wanyin nonchalantly pulled a piece of rag and put it on Hou Yuanji's head: "It's none of your business. This gentleman just likes to sleep on the floor."
The village woman immediately felt relieved and looked at Hou Yuanji in surprise.
This is actually an adult.
She thought they were refugees from the next village.
How come they look even more miserable than these real refugees?
etc.
Could it be the escort who is escorting the general?
In an instant, the eyes of all the people who heard what Lu Wanyin said turned several degrees colder when they looked at Hou Yuanji.
Dog official!!!
Just then, two villagers came over carrying a large table that they had just made.
"Come on, set the table and get ready for dinner."
The village woman subconsciously made way and saw two big men put the table directly on Hou Yuanji.
The four legs of the table just surrounded him in the middle.
"Make way."
Hou Yuanji was inexplicably covered under the table. He finally reacted and prepared to go out.
There was a shout, and a big pot that was at least one meter wide was placed on the table with a "bang".
The black bottom of the pot hit the ground heavily.
The pot, which had just been taken off the fire, was still emitting sparks.
Hou Yuanji felt that if he retreated any slower, his nose would become blurred.
Having finally saved his face, Hou Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Ah!!!”
Another scream came from under the table.
When Hou Yuanji raised his hand, it brushed against the table leg.
The table was made temporarily and the villagers didn't bother to polish it carefully.
I'm so busy rebuilding the village, who would want to play on the table?
As a result, Hou Yuanji's hands were covered with splinters.
He felt like he couldn't use his hands anymore.
In the intervals when he was dizzy and dazed with pain, he seemed to hear the sound of people laughing outside the table.
These scoundrels!
It was intentional!
Hou Yuanji was extremely angry and wanted to curse, but when he opened his mouth, he could only gasp in pain.
"You troublemakers, let Lord Hou go!"
Fortunately, there are still people in this area who are concerned about Hou Yuanji's life.
Several escorts came over anxiously, trying to pull Hou Yuanji out from under the table.
One person was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and saw Hou Yuanji's hand raised in the air. He thought he was asking for help and thought that his chance to show off had come.
He strode to the table, shook the hand tightly, and tried to pull the person out.
Hou Yuanji's screams became even more shrill.
He struggled hard: "Let go, let me go."
The wooden splinter stuck in his hand was firmly stuck in his hand by the bailiff's grip.
The escort was also pricked by the wooden thorn on Hou Yuanji's hand and subconsciously let go of the hand due to the pain.
Hou Yuanji was struggling hard, but the other party loosened his grip and he couldn't control the strength in his hand, which fell on his face.
“Bold!”
Hou Yuanji opened his mouth wide and pointed at the escort with a trembling finger: "You, you..."
Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
With this previous experience as a lesson, the remaining escorts did not dare to act rashly.
But Lu Wanyin was watching the show from the side and said hesitantly: "Go and see how he is doing."
When the villagers gathered around the table heard Lu Wanyin's words, they all shouted, "Sir, how are you?"
He took the opportunity to kick Hou Yuanji twice.
The general and his wife are now their adoptive parents.
I've heard that the escorts who escorted them were not good people.
I must vent my anger for the general's wife and the others today.
Lu Wanyin was touched and amused: "Alright, let him out immediately, this is an order."
