Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong ate sheep brains while praising them enthusiastically.
They deliberately contradicted Wu Sangui and kept praising Zong Fengming.
At this moment, Zong Fengming was so flattered by the praise that he couldn't stop smiling.
Li Huan, of course, understood the intentions of Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong.
So Li Huan and Long Er sat down to drink tea and continue watching the excitement.
Wu Sangui, growing increasingly impatient, shouted, "Hurry up and vote!"
Wu Yingxiong quickly announced, "Please, Father and all the judges, give the title of Sect Leader Zong Fengming of the Kongtong Sect to..."
"Wait!" Wei Xiaobao shouted, raising his hand.
"What is it now!" Wu Sangui demanded angrily.
Wei Xiaobao said with a grin, "We've tasted the sheep's brain, but we haven't tasted the sheep's eyes yet!"
"You..." Wu Sangui was speechless with anger.
Wu Yingqi frowned and said, "Eunuch Wei, what's so delicious about sheep's eyeballs? There's no need to try them, is there?"
Duolong said, "Your Highness is mistaken. Sheep's eyes are also delicious!"
Wu Yingqi snorted.
Doron asked, "Princess, would you like to eat sheep's eyes?"
Princess Jianning said, "I won't eat the sheep's eyes. I'll save room to try the other contestants' dishes!"
Duolong snapped his fingers: "Sect Leader Zong, take out both sheep's eyes and let Lord Wei and me taste them!"
Zong Fengming obeyed the order, took out two sheep's eyes, and handed them to Duolong and Wei Xiaobao.
Doron asked, "Lord Wei, would you like some seasoning?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Sheep's eyes taste even better when dipped in seasoning!"
Zong Fengming quickly handed over two plates of condiments.
Princess Jianning asked, "What kind of seasoning is this?"
Zong Fengming said, "Your Highness, this is chili oil!"
Doron said, "That suits me perfectly!"
Wei Xiaobao shook his head: "I don't want chili oil."
Zong Fengming said, "Lord Wei doesn't want spicy seasoning, but I have garlic seasoning here."
Wei Xiaobao said, "The garlic seasoning is also good, give me a plate."
Zong Fengming turned around and took a plate of garlic seasoning from the stove.
Wei Xiaobao said, "Don't rush, add more aged vinegar!"
"Old vinegar?" Zong Fengming was taken aback.
Wei Xiaobao said, "Yes, don't you have Old Chen Village in Shanxi?"
Zong Fengming said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Lord Wei, I only have fragrant vinegar, not aged vinegar."
Wei Xiaobao looked at Li Huan: "Lord Li, do you have aged vinegar?"
Li Huan said, "Besides aged vinegar, I also have white vinegar and rice vinegar. Do you want some?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "I only want aged vinegar; I don't need white vinegar or rice vinegar."
Li Huan pointed to the stove and said to Zong Fengming, "That bottle is aged vinegar."
Zong Fengming clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Lord Li!"
He walked to Li Huan's stove, picked up the aged vinegar, and poured it into the garlic seasoning.
Suddenly, Wei Xiaobao said, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want aged vinegar anymore, pour some fragrant vinegar instead!"
Zong Fengming said, "Lord Wei, the aged vinegar has already been added to the garlic seasoning."
Wei Xiaobao said, "I suddenly crave the original flavor of garlic sauce. Pour the aged vinegar out of the garlic sauce!"
Seeing Wei Xiaobao being so unreasonable, Li Huan barely managed to suppress his laughter.
Zong Fengming said, "Lord Wei, the aged vinegar has already been added to the minced garlic. After pouring it out, the garlic seasoning still has the flavor of aged vinegar."
Wei Xiaobao said, "In that case, why don't you just make me a new plate of garlic sauce!"
Zong Fengming smiled and said, "Since Lord Wei has given the order, I will certainly do as he says!"
Snap!
Wu Sangui slammed his fist on the table!
"Eunuch Wei, you want to eat aged vinegar one minute and don't want it the next. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Didn't I just say to have Sect Leader Zong make a new plate of garlic seasoning?"
Wu Sangui was so angry that he glared at his opponent!
Feng Xifan said, "Eunuch Wei, Sect Leader Zong's stewed sheep's head will only get three votes at most, so why bother to taste it?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Does Lord Feng mean that you, the Prince, and the Young Prince don't want to vote for Sect Leader Zong?"
Feng Xifan said, "Can't Eunuch Wei see it?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Now I see. Since that's the case, I should savor the sheep's eyes even more, so as not to waste the sheep's head that Sect Leader brought from thousands of miles away!"
Feng Xifan was speechless.
Wei Xiaobao urged, "Sect Leader Zong, quickly make another plate of garlic seasoning!"
Zong Fengming obeyed the order, took out the raw garlic, and smashed it with a kitchen knife.
Li Huan asked, "Sect Leader Zong, the Kongtong Sect is more than 3,000 li away from Kunming. You've traveled such a long distance to get here. How do you keep the sheep's head fresh?"
While busy, Zong Fengming answered, "Actually, I brought a live sheep with me to Kunming!"
Li Huan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, just as I suspected! I knew it! You must have brought a live sheep to Kunming City, and slaughtered it on the spot to stew the sheep's head and make 'Meat Stuffed in Sheep' when the 'Martial Arts Culinary Competition' opened!"
Princess Jianning said, "Sect Leader, you have worked hard and deserve a reward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the audience.
“I came from Western Xia, and I brought a live sheep with me!”
"I came from the East China Sea, and I brought lots of fresh goods!"
"I traveled a long way to bring back a yellow ox, so I should be rewarded!"
...
Snap!
Wu Sangui slammed his fist on the table again!
"What's all that shouting about? Silence! Silence!"
The shouts from the audience continued unabated.
Wu Sangui was furious, but he couldn't retaliate.
Zong Fengming prepared a new plate of garlic sauce and placed it in front of Wei Xiaobao.
