Xia Chujian's mind raced, and he was very flexible. He immediately said, "In that case, I'll show you my skills. But I still want to remind you, don't have too high expectations. Although my cooking is better than that of ordinary chefs, it's still far from the level of my aunt."
At this moment, Yun Nuluo, who had been listening for a while, spoke up: "Could you give us a standard for comparison? For example, if you say it's better than what an average chef cooks, which average chef do you mean?"
Xia Chujian remembered what her teammates had said, that the food she cooked was better than that cooked by chefs in some restaurants on Beichen Star.
She blinked and said bluntly, "Probably all the chefs from Guiyuan Star, plus some from Beichen Star."
Yun Nuluo: “…”
This girl is so shameless.
But seeing that Quan Yuxun seemed quite interested, Yun Nuluo said nothing more. She smiled faintly and said, "Then we look forward to this lady's dinner."
Xia Chujian didn't expect that his perfunctory words would still trap him.
She felt bad about having to pay for the high-quality ingredients, but then she thought again that the wild rhino pork and unicorn beef could be used because Ye Shijie had already patched them up and said that he brought them back from his last mission in the Monster Forest.
But he was reluctant to take out the Tantai Yutian rice and Su Nu powder.
Things like Tantai Yutian rice and Su Nu powder are difficult to obtain, not to mention the common people, but even the genetically evolved people, unless they are aristocrats.
Because these two things are only produced in royal plantations.
Apart from the royal family, if anyone else wants to buy it, it is not enough to just have money, they also need a quota.
If this kind of thing appears in a common people's home, it is illegal if the proper channels are not disclosed.
Of course, this kind of thing will be ignored if you don't complain. Who would care whether someone is eating Tantai Yutian rice or low-grade nutrient solution?
Do you have to cut open your stomach to show others in order to prove your innocence?
Besides, on New Year's Eve, Zong Ruoan had eaten Tantai Yutian rice at her house and praised it...
It can be seen that everyone knows about this kind of thing, but they just don't say it out loud.
So Xia Chujian said, "I'll do my best, but Colonel Zong, my family doesn't have the Tantai Yutian rice and Su Nu noodles that you nobles are used to eating. Do you mind?"
Zong Ruoan said, "Didn't I eat Tantai Yutian rice at your house on New Year's Eve? I also wanted to let Chief Quan taste it. It's the same rice, but your aunt's is so much better than others!"
Xia Chujian: "...I've finished eating it, there's no more."
Is it really okay to betray the person who invited you to dinner like this?
Sure enough, before Quan Yuxun could say anything, Yun Nuluo asked curiously and surprisedly, "Huh? Ms. Xia's family has Tantai Yutian rice? Is Ms. Xia's family aristocratic?"
Xia Chujian's face looked unhappy, and he forced a smile and said, "Of course not, we are just a poor family..."
"Not a noble? Then a citizen?" Yun Nuluo asked again.
"No, we are just civilians." Xia Chujian regained her composure and began to think in her mind how to kick this woman out. She didn't want to cook for such a person!
In fact, when she was in Dafu County, she was very annoyed by people like Yun Nuluo.
But I didn't expect that after Yun Nuluo showed implicit hostility towards Quan Caiwei, Quan Yuxun still brought her with him...
I just... can't understand the grudges and hatreds between these wealthy families.
In just one second, Xia Chujian imagined a bloody gossip drama about an aristocratic family.
Yun Nuluo was even more surprised. She covered her mouth and said, "How could she get the Tantai Imperial Rice if she's neither a noble nor a citizen? Could Master Zong have made a mistake?"
Zong Ruoan didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously said, "No, it's Tantai Yutian rice. I've been eating it since I was a child. I will never mistake that special taste."
Yun Nuluo laughed: "Then where did Ms. Xia get the Tantai Yutian rice? According to imperial law, ordinary civilians are breaking the law if they can't explain the legitimate channels..."
Xia Chujian was really angry, but the angrier she got, the calmer she became.
At this moment, he remained calm and said in a cold voice, "Ms. Yun, please define what you mean by 'proper channels'."
Yun Nuluo was stunned for a moment.
Xia Chujian put on this posture, as if he was going to a court debate, which was quite intimidating...
Quan Yuxun's eyes also flashed slightly, and he found that Xia Chujian was quite quick-witted.
He didn't say anything to stop her, wanting to see how Xia Chujian would respond.
Yun Nuluo quickly glanced at Quan Yuxun and was relieved to see that he was still smiling as warmly as the spring breeze and had no intention of stopping her.
She smiled and said, "Legitimate channels, of course, refer to channels or means that are legal, compliant, and in line with ethical and moral standards. Purchasing through these channels or means is widely recognized as reasonable and legal."
Xia Chujian: “…Oh.”
She no longer paid attention to Yun Nuluo, but just looked at Zong Ruoan and said, "Then I'll go prepare it."
Seeing that Xia Chujian had simply ignored her, Yun Nuluo assumed she was no match for her argument, and her confidence grew. She smiled and said, "Ms. Xia, why are you silent? You haven't even mentioned your legitimate channels yet."
Xia Chujian said slowly, "My legitimate channels are, of course, legal, compliant, and ethical channels or means. Do you have any objections?"
Yun Nuluo choked and immediately said, "This is the definition of the legitimate channel I was talking about. How can you repeat what I said?"
Xia Chujian spread his hands and said, "Secretary Yun asked me to tell you my legitimate channels, so I told you... And what I told you were legitimate channels that Secretary Yun recognized and that were defined by law."
