Hearing the shouts, Hong Qigong was also stunned.
To everyone's surprise, Li Huan's first visit to Peach Blossom Island turned into a stall selling boxed lunches!
They're clearly trying to make money off Huang Yaoshi.
Ouyang Feng laughed heartily: "Seventh Brother, you're too greedy! You actually took a food vendor as your apprentice!"
Hong Qigong stroked his beard and said, "Old Poisoner, don't underestimate Li Huan. He's not only a superb cook, but also a martial arts prodigy!"
"A martial arts prodigy?" Ouyang Feng was taken aback, then burst into laughter again.
Ouyang Ke chuckled a few times: "If Li Huan were a martial arts prodigy, why would he need to set up a food stall to make a living?"
Huang Rong quickly said, "Isn't it good to make a living by selling boxed lunches at a stall? That noon, my senior brother easily earned more than a thousand taels of gold!"
Ouyang Feng was shocked: "More than a thousand taels of gold!"
Instantly, Ouyang Ke's expression became unnatural.
Huang Yaoshi said, "Rong'er, don't talk nonsense. Under heaven, whose food can easily sell for more than a thousand taels of gold?"
Huang Rong laughed and said, "Father, I'm not making this up. That day, my senior brother and I were selling boxed lunches at a stall when Ouyang Ke happened to pass by. He bought twelve boxed lunches, which cost a total of 1,200 taels of gold!"
Huang Yaoshi asked, "Nephew, is this true?"
Ouyang Ke dared not conceal the truth and had to admit, "It is true, I was drunk at the time..."
"You scoundrel!" Ouyang Feng stood up abruptly, pointing at Ouyang Ke's nose. "Even when drunk, one should not squander money. Wouldn't that make one a laughingstock!"
Ouyang Ke hurriedly said, "Nephew knows he was wrong and will not dare to do it again."
Hong Qigong said with a smile, "Old Poisoner, why scold your nephew? His gold has fallen into my disciple's pocket, so it's not considered extravagance, not considered extravagance."
Huang Rong said, "Master, you've forgotten, Senior Brother didn't keep a single coin of that 1,200 taels of gold; he gave it all to the refugees!"
Hong Qigong slapped his forehead: "That's right, that's right! Look at the old beggar's terrible memory. Huan'er is kind-hearted and gave the gold he earned to the fleeing refugees!"
Li Huan understood that Hong Qigong and Huang Rong were working together to deliberately provoke Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke.
As expected, Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke's faces turned ashen.
Huang Yaoshi stroked his beard and nodded to Li Huan in appreciation.
Ouyang Feng snorted and walked out of the pavilion.
"I want to see what kind of food is being sold in this iron bucket!"
Out of curiosity, Huang Yaoshi also walked up to the electric tricycle.
He first observed the tricycle: "This vehicle is quite peculiar; it doesn't even need horses..."
Hong Qigong asked, "Huan'er, how did you get to Peach Blossom Island?"
Li Huan lied, "I heard that Master and Junior Brother came to Peach Blossom Island, so I took a boat here. After landing, I drove a tricycle to the bamboo forest."
As he spoke, Li Huan reached out and lifted a food bucket.
In an instant, a strong stench wafted out!
Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng instinctively took a few steps back!
"The food has gone bad!" Ouyang Feng covered his nose, then sneered, "Seventh Brother, is this what you call superb cooking skills?"
Huang Yaoshi frowned and looked at the food bucket.
Inside the food bucket was a pile of dark, square-shaped things, some kind of spoiled food.
Li Huan could see clearly that the food in the food bucket was—deep-fried stinky tofu!
The system came up with a unique idea today, launching a "dark" themed dish.
Li Huan continued to lift the lid of the food bucket, revealing in turn: stinky mandarin fish, durian stewed chicken, and cucumber salad with fermented bean curd.
Goodness, there were four dishes in total, all of which were mainly characterized by their pungent smell.
Let's look at the staple food—snail rice noodles!
Li Huan was both amused and exasperated. Damn, what a stench!
In just a few seconds, a stench filled the entire bamboo forest.
Hong Qigong, Huang Rong, and Guo Jing couldn't stand it either, so they quickly covered their noses.
"Huan'er..." Hong Qigong asked, "Did you cook the food too early and then cover it up tightly on the boat, causing it to smell bad?"
Li Huan remained calm.
"Master, even if I'm confused, I can't sell rotten food!"
"These four dishes are new recipes I learned in foreign lands, and they have unique flavors!"
"Hahaha..." Ouyang Ke laughed loudly, "What a wonderful phrase, 'unique flavor, stinky to the bone,' indeed unique!"
Li Huan first covered the dishes with "stinky mandarin fish, durian stewed chicken, fermented bean curd with cucumber, and snail rice noodles," then pointed to "deep-fried stinky tofu."
"This dish is called—Deep-fried Stinky Tofu!"
"It smells awful, but tastes delicious and leaves a lasting impression..."
"Shut up!" Ouyang Feng roared. "You brat, you're not just setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches, you're deliberately causing trouble and trying to ruin my nephew's marriage to the daughter of Island Master Huang!"
Holy crap, that's a huge accusation.
Li Huan sneered: "Ouyang Ke and Huang Rong's marriage? Do I need to ruin it? Ouyang Ke is not qualified to marry Huang Rong at all!"
"Insolence!" Ouyang Feng rebuked, then looked at Hong Qigong, "Seventh Brother, your eldest disciple lacks discipline!"
Before Hong Qi could speak, Li Huan said, "Ever since Ouyang Ke came to the Central Plains, he has been constantly collecting beauties and taking them as his concubines. Does this kind of scum even want to be the son-in-law of Peach Blossom Island?"
"May I ask, Master Huang, are you willing to marry your precious daughter to a frivolous and dissolute young man?"
Huang Yaoshi was astonished: "Is this really true?"
Ouyang Ke hurriedly defended himself: "Don't listen to Li Huan's nonsense! Those women are all servants I brought from the Western Regions, not beauties I gathered from various places! Li Huan is just jealous and maliciously slandering me!"
Li Huan said, "Ouyang Ke, do you dare swear that you didn't have three wives and four concubines at White Camel Manor?"
Ouyang Ke was speechless.
Ouyang Feng hurriedly said, "Brother Yao, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If my nephew can marry Brother Yao's daughter, he will definitely divorce his wives and concubines at home and make Brother Yao's daughter his legal wife!"
