Inside the walnut kernel lies a golden delicacy!
What's this?
Prince Ning was curious, and Grand Tutor Hua and the judges were also eager to know the answer.
Li Huan laughed and said, "You'll know once you try it."
Prince Ning quickly took a bite and suddenly realized, "This is crab roe!"
After tasting it, Grand Tutor Hua nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed crab roe, fresh and delicious!"
Chef Ma exclaimed in amazement: "Ingenious! Not only can they hide nuts made from fish and crab meat inside walnuts, but they can also hide crab roe inside nuts. It's simply amazing!"
"Yes, yes, this kind of cooking skill has reached the pinnacle!"
"We are ashamed to admit that our cooking skills are far inferior to Li Huan's!"
"I never imagined there could be such a skilled chef among ordinary people!"
"It's a pity Li Huan didn't become a chef in the palace; his talent was wasted!"
"If His Majesty were to taste this walnut dish, he would surely be delighted and reward Li Huan handsomely!"
...
The referees all praised Li Huan sincerely.
Grand Tutor Hua asked, "Li Huan, does your dish have a nice name?"
Li Huan said, "Let's just call it Walnut, no other fancy names."
Grand Tutor Hua gave a thumbs up: "Simple and unadorned, yet containing profound wisdom!"
Prince Ning said, "We have all finished tasting. Now can you tell everyone how to hide the nuts and crab roe inside the walnuts?"
Li Huan said, "Actually, these ten walnuts were not opened beforehand; the shells were all intact!"
Prince Ning asked in surprise, "The outer shell wasn't opened? That's impossible! If it wasn't opened, how could the ingredients have been hidden inside?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "I used a small awl to pierce the shell from the bottom of the walnut, and then with the help of tools, I slowly scooped out the walnut kernel, leaving an empty shell!"
Wow! The crowd erupted in uproar!
"I see! How come I didn't think of that!"
"There's a small hole drilled at the bottom of the walnut, it's quite well hidden, no wonder it's hard to find!"
Li Huan continued, "I crushed the fish and shrimp, mixed them with egg whites, stuffed them into the hollow shells of walnuts, and then stuffed the crab roe into the middle of the walnuts!"
"Finally, I used small pieces of walnut to plug the small hole at the bottom of the walnut, thus achieving a sealing effect. After the walnut is steamed in the pot, the meat filling and crab roe inside can stay hot and won't cool down easily!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Grand Tutor Hua gave another thumbs up.
Prince Ning nodded: "Indeed ingenious. I have broadened my horizons today."
Taking the opportunity, Li Huan asked, "Does Your Highness like this dish?"
Without hesitation, Prince Ning replied, "I like it!"
Li Huan asked, "Would you be willing to vote for me?"
"I'm willing!" Prince Ning answered instinctively.
Li Huan quickly asked, "Would the eight chefs be willing to vote for me?"
"Yes!" all eight referees answered in unison.
The fat advisor was shocked: "The prince and the eight judges have all voted for Li Huan... He currently... has nine votes!"
Prince Ning jumped to his feet: "Did I...did I vote for Li Huan?"
The portly advisor raised his eyebrows and said, "His Highness has voted."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ning was filled with remorse: "How could I... how could I have voted for Li Huan? This is outrageous, outrageous!"
Under the control of "Honest Sugar," he obediently told the truth when questioned by Li Huan and agreed to vote for Li Huan.
The other eight judges, both controlled by "Honest Sugar" and swayed by Ning Wang, unanimously agreed to vote for Li Huan!
Madam Hua excitedly reminded him, "Sir, you're the only one left! After you vote, Li Huan will get a perfect score of ten votes!"
Grand Tutor Hua quickly raised his hand: "I vote for Li Huan! Hahaha... Li Huan wins this round!"
The fat advisor announced helplessly, "In the third round, Li Huan received a perfect score of ten votes, one more than Zhang Fugui!"
"All three rounds are over. Li Huan won two rounds in total, defeating Zhang Fugui!"
Madam Hua, Qiu Xiang, Chun Xiang, Xia Xiang, Dong Xiang, and others cheered and celebrated together.
Prince Ning was dumbfounded and slumped down.
"How could this be? I shouldn't have voted for Li Huan. There must have been a mistake!"
He raised his head and asked the portly clerk, "Did I really vote for Li Huan?"
The fat advisor said with a mournful face, "Yes, Your Highness, you really did vote for Li Huan!"
Prince Ning stood up, walked up to the fat advisor, and shouted, "You scoundrel! Why didn't you stop me!"
The portly advisor looked aggrieved: "How dare I, a lowly servant, stop Your Highness..."
*Slap!* Prince Ning slapped the fat advisor hard across the face.
Grand Tutor Hua said excitedly, "Your Highness, your cook has lost to my cook. According to the agreement, Your Highness should pay one million taels of silver to buy one hundred boxed meals from Li Huan and give them to the people of Suzhou!"
Prince Ning's thick eyebrows furrowed, his expression one of utter anger and embarrassment. He turned and glared at Zhang Fugui.
Thump!
Zhang Fugui knelt on both knees, trembling as he said, "Your Highness! I deserve to die! I lost to Li Huan! Please, Your Highness, have mercy and spare my life!"
Grand Tutor Hua said, "Your Highness, you are a magnanimous person. You can't lose your temper on the spot and take it out on a cook!"
Prince Ning's eyes blazed with fury: "I've lost so humiliatingly! I'm about to lose my temper! Guards, chop off Zhang Fugui's hands!!"
Zhang Fugui turned deathly pale with fright: "Your Highness! Your Highness..."
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light!
With Zhang Fugui's screams, his hands were chopped off and fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
The man who killed Zhang Fugui was none other than the Deadly Scholar!
Li Huan said, "Your Highness, you can be angry as you please, but you can't go back on your word. The one million taels of silver must be paid on time!"
Prince Ning's facial muscles twitched as he said viciously, "I'm going to cheat! Deadly Scholar, raze the Hua Mansion to the ground! To vent my anger!"
Good heavens, Prince Ning has started a massacre ahead of schedule!
In the movie "Flirting Scholar", Prince Ning asked the fat advisor to come up with a couplet to embarrass Grand Tutor Hua. In a critical moment, Tang Bohu eloquently solved the fat advisor's problem. Then, the Deadly Scholar took out the "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" painting, which was bestowed by the emperor, and asked Grand Tutor Hua to appreciate it. Madam Hua hurriedly took the painting and engaged in a fierce fight with the Deadly Scholar, which caused Tang Bohu's "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" painting to be smashed into pieces.
When Prince Ning saw that the calligraphy and painting had been destroyed, he threatened to report to the Emperor and have the entire Hua family executed. Tang Bohu claimed that the real "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" painting was hidden in the Hua family and took Qiu Xiang to the study to paint. Tang Bohu painted "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" painting in the fastest time, leaving Prince Ning speechless and leaving in anger.
Three days later, the Deadly Scholar recovered his strength, drew his sword, and stormed into the Hua mansion, intending to slaughter everyone in the household...
Because Li Huan traveled through time, he changed the course of the plot, causing Prince Ning to lose his temper ahead of schedule!
rub!
The deadly scholar leaped up, raising his sword to stab Grand Tutor Hua!
Madam Hua rushed over, pushed Grand Tutor Hua aside, and engaged the deadly scholar in combat.
Prince Ning shouted, "Surround the Hua residence! Except for the four women—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—kill everyone else without mercy!"
Holy crap, that's really vicious!
