Tang Bohu took off running and headed towards the kitchen of the Hua family mansion.
Prince Ning asked in surprise, "What is that boy doing?"
Li Huan explained, "I only have one stove. When I was blanching the ox head, I couldn't boil more water. I asked my assistant to go to the kitchen to get a few kettles of water. That's not against the rules, is it?"
Prince Ning laughed, "It's not against the rules. You can slowly blanch the ox's head, hehehe..."

Prince Ning pointed at the large pot and said, "Zhang Fugui's progress is much faster than Li Huan's! His braised beef head will definitely be more flavorful and tender than Li Huan's!"
"I need to remind everyone that the braised beef heads that are cooked ahead of schedule will receive priority in the voting. I hope you all agree on this?"
