Zong Fengming picked up a piece of "meat stuffed in lamb's stomach", placed it on a plate, and handed it to Princess Jianning!
Doron said, "Give me one, just to try it!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "I'll try the 'meat stuffed in lamb's stomach' first, and then I'll eat the meat on the lamb's head!"
Zong Fengming acted swiftly, picking out two "meat-stuffed lamb tripe" and handing them to Wei Xiaobao and Duolong.
Wu Sangui watched coldly from the sidelines.
Wu Yingqi and Feng Xifan wisely remained silent.
Princess Jianning bit into the "sheep's stomach stuffed with meat" and laughed, "The inside of the sheep's stomach is indeed full of mutton, and the aroma is wonderful!"
Duolong praised as he ate, "The tripe is crisp and the mutton is fragrant. Master Zong's cooking skills are excellent, excellent!"
Wei Xiaobao was so engrossed in tasting the food that he had no time to praise it.
Princess Jianning said, "Your Highness, if you don't like mutton head, why not try this 'mutton tripe stuffed with meat'?"
Wu Sangui said, "I also find 'meat stuffed in sheep's stomach', which is stewed inside a sheep's head, disgusting!"
Princess Jianning said, "As the judge, how can Your Highness not taste the contestants' dishes?"
Wu Sangui raised his thick eyebrows: "Before, the princess disliked Wang Dahu's 'Nine-Turned Crab Roe Intestines' from the 'Flying Sky Gang,' finding it nauseating, and you resolutely refused to taste it. Now, I despise Zong Fengming's mutton head, so of course I can also refuse to taste it!"
Princess Jianning was speechless after being rebuked.
Indeed, just as she could refuse to taste "Nine-Turned Crab Roe and Large Intestines," Wu Sangui could also refuse to taste "Meat Wrapped in Sheep's Stomach" from "Stewed Sheep's Head"!
While eating, Duolong said, "His Highness doesn't like to eat sheep's head. I wonder if the young prince and Lord Feng also dislike sheep's head?"
Wu Yingqi said, "As the saying goes, like father, like son. My father hates sheep's heads, and so do I!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "The prince doesn't eat 'mutton stuffed in lamb', so you don't either?"
Wu Yingqi shook her head: "I won't eat!"
Good heavens, these two, father and son, have become so despicable!
Wei Xiaobao looked at Feng Xifan: "Lord Feng, stop pretending and hurry up and try the 'mutton stuffed in lamb'!"
Feng Xifan laughed and said, "I'm not pretending. Since 'meat stuffed in lamb' is a specialty snack in the western region, I must try it and see how it tastes!"
He reached out and picked up the "lamb tripe stuffed with meat" from the plate, took a big bite, chewed the lamb tripe and meat together, and the soup dripped down his chin.
"The taste is alright, just passable, but the gamey smell is a bit strong!"
Feng Xifan ate and commented.
Zong Fengming hurriedly said, "Lord Feng, this sheep's head and 'sheep's stomach stuffed with meat' are made from sheep from the Northwest region, so they have almost no gamey smell."
Feng Xifan said, "You say it doesn't have a muttony smell, and it just doesn't? Do you think I can't tell?"
Zong Fengming looked embarrassed.
Princess Jianning said, "Lord Feng, you're being too picky. This 'mutton stuffed in lamb' has absolutely no gamey smell!"
Feng Xifan said, "Some people find mutton gamey, while others don't. It varies from person to person!"
Princess Jianning asked, "Eunuch Wei, how old are you? Do you think 'mutton stuffed in lamb' has a gamey smell?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "It certainly doesn't have a muttony smell, which suits me perfectly!"
Duolong said, "I have eaten countless muttons in my life, and this is the most delicious mutton I have ever eaten, with absolutely no gamey smell!"
Princess Jianning said, "Lord Feng, you heard it all. Eunuch Wei and Lord Duo both think that 'mutton stuffed in lamb' has no gamey smell."
Feng Xifan said, "I'm quite picky about mutton; I can taste even the slightest hint of its gamey smell!"
Princess Jianning said, "Alright, if you think it smells like mutton, then it smells like mutton. I won't argue with you."
Feng Xifan said, "Your Highness is too kind. I was just stating the facts, not nitpicking!"
Anger and contempt flashed in Zong Fengming's eyes.
He had realized that his unwillingness to lead the Kongtong Sect to submit to Wu Sangui had resulted in Wu Sangui's revenge.
Wu Yingqi and Feng Xifan, on the other hand, colluded with Wu Sangui, acting in concert.
Therefore, Zong Fengming's dishes were destined to fail to garner the votes of Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, and Feng Xifan.
Wu Yingxiong said, "Please, Father and all the judges, give the sentence to Zong Fengming of the Kongtong Sect..."
"Wait a minute!" Li Huan interrupted Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong asked, "Lord Li, what is it?"
Li Huan said, "Young Prince, why are you in such a hurry to announce the vote? The princess hasn't even tasted the mutton head yet!"
Princess Jianning said, "Yes, I only ate the 'meat stuffed in lamb's stomach' just now, and I haven't eaten the meat on the lamb's head yet!"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and gestured for him to proceed.
Princess Jianning continued eating her 'meat-stuffed mutton' at a leisurely pace.
"After I finish this 'lamb stomach stuffed with meat,' I'll try the lamb head meat!"
Wu Sangui, looking impatient, picked up his teacup and drank some water.
Wu Yingqi and Feng Xifan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Princess Jianning swallowed the mutton in her mouth and said to Zong Fengming, "Sect Leader Zong, give me a piece of mutton face meat!"
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong also wanted to eat mutton face meat.
Zong Fengming took the meat from the sheep's head, divided it into three portions, and handed them to Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong.
Immediately afterwards, Zong Fengming took out the sheep's tongue from the sheep's head, cut it into slices with a sharp knife, and divided it into three portions for Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong to taste.
Princess Jianning said, "The sect leader's mutton stew is very flavorful, and the mutton face meat is especially delicious!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Not only does the 'lamb stomach stuffed with meat' have no gamey smell, but the lamb cheek meat also has no gamey smell!"
Duolong said, "Sect Leader's culinary skills in cooking mutton are superb!"
Then, the three of them tasted the lamb tongue and gave it high praise.
Wu Yingxiong asked, "Can we vote now?"
Princess Jianning picked up a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and smiled sweetly: "What's the rush? I haven't even tasted the sheep brain in the sheep's head yet!"
Wu Yingxiong looked helpless.
Wu Sangui, growing impatient, said irritably, "Princess, there's no need to taste the sheep brains, hurry up and vote!"
Princess Jianning smiled and said, "Sect Leader Zong once said that sheep brain is the most delicious part of a sheep's head, how can we not try it?"
Wu Sangui raised his voice: "In that case, Princess, please taste it quickly and vote quickly!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Your Highness is mistaken. As judges, we should carefully taste the contestants' dishes and not be careless. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the contestants!"
Wu Sangui said unhappily, "Does Eunuch Wei mean that I haven't shown enough respect to Sect Leader Zong?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Your Highness misunderstands. You don't eat sheep's head at all, so it has nothing to do with 'respect'!"
After hearing this, Wu Sangui snorted.
At this point, Zong Fengming had already divided the sheep brains into three portions for Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong to taste.
Princess Jianning picked up the sheep brain and observed it with a smile.
"Look at this sheep brain, it's so fresh and tender. If you shake the bowl, the sheep brain will tremble."
Wei Xiaobao said, "I can smell the delicious aroma of the sheep brain even before I've tasted it!"
Doron said, "It's a pity that there's only one sheep brain per sheep. If there were more, we could eat to our hearts' content!"
The three of them chatted amongst themselves, praising the sheep brains incessantly, deliberately stalling for time...
