The meat filling in this "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao" is unusual.
In addition to shrimp that grow in Tianchi Lake in Wudang Mountain and shark fins from the deep sea, there is even crane meat!
Wei Xiaobao asked with a smile, "What crane? Is it a pet kept by immortals?"
Doron said, "There are no cranes, it must be a white crane."
Zhang Rushan said, "Of course it's not a crane raised by immortals, but a type of white crane from Wudang Mountain!"
Li Huan asked, "What's the difference between the white cranes of Wudang Mountain and those of other places?"
Zhang Rushan laughed and said, "Lord Li, that's a good question. The white cranes of Wudang Mountain are indeed different from those of other places. They are all plump and strong, with graceful postures!"
"Hahaha..." Princess Jianning laughed, "How can someone who's fat and strong still have graceful posture?"
Zhang Rushan said, "The white cranes of Wudang Mountain are strong, with long legs and large wings, making them look graceful when they fly!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "The move 'White Crane Spreads Wings' in Tai Chi was obviously inspired by observing white cranes, which led to its creation!"
Zhang Rushan said, "That's right. Our school's founder, Master Zhang, created the world-famous Tai Chi Chuan. The 'White Crane Spreads Wings' in it was inspired by the white crane."
When Li Huan traveled through time in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he went to Zixiao Palace on Wudang Mountain to set up a stall selling boxed lunches.
At that time, he saw several leisurely white cranes in the courtyard.
In my memory, those white cranes were quite large.
Wu Sangui stared at the diced crane meat in the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao," looking like he wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to do so.
Princess Jianning chewed on the diced crane meat and laughed, "Crane meat tastes so fresh, delicious, delicious!"
Wei Xiaobao had finished eating the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao" and praised it repeatedly. He said to Zhang Rushan, "Sect Leader Zhang, give me three more xiao long bao!"
Duolong reminded him, "Lord Wei, you'll feel bloated if you eat too much. We still have many more dishes to try later!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Don't let my thin appearance fool you, I have a big appetite. I could eat twenty more xiaolongbao and I wouldn't feel full!"
Zhang Rushan then took out three more "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao" and handed them to Wei Xiaobao.
After Wu Yingqi finished eating a "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao", he asked Wu Sangui, "Father, won't you try some?"
Wu Sangui looked at the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao" that he had broken in half and dropped on the table, neither shaking his head nor nodding.
Wu Yingqi, knowing Wu Sangui well, quickly ordered, "Sect Leader Zhang, bring Father another 'Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao'!"
Zhang Rushan acted swiftly, placing the steamed buns in front of Wu Sangui.
This time, Wu Sangui finally picked up his chopsticks and first peeled open the skin of the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiao Long Bao" to let the steam inside dissipate and avoid burning his mouth.
Princess Jianning, Wu Yingqi, Feng Xifan, and Duolong had all finished tasting the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiaolongbao" and were all looking at Wu Sangui.
Wei Xiaobao had a great appetite and focused intently on eating the "Jadeite Three Treasures Steamed Buns" on his plate!
"Sect Leader Zhang, is there any vinegar?"
Zhang Rushan asked, "Lord Wei would like to eat it with vinegar?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Yes, it tastes even better with a little vinegar."
Zhang Rushan asked, "Besides vinegar, would you like some chili oil and minced garlic?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Give me some chili oil, but no minced garlic."
Zhang Rushan immediately brought over a dish of vinegar and a dish of chili oil, so that Wei Xiaobao could dip his dumplings in them.
Wu Sangui slowly chewed the diced crane meat in his mouth, his brows gradually relaxing...
"Your Highness!"
Mai Renkuang suddenly shouted.
"Your Highness!"
Yuan Batian also shouted.
"I've finished chopping the radish!" Mai Renkuang and Yuan Batian said at the same time.
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Holy crap, holy crap, what a coincidence.
Mai Renkuang and Yuan Batian were equally skilled in cooking, and both cooked a seafood stew.
Unexpectedly, when competing in the "knife skills" of cooking, the two of them actually managed to cut radishes at the same time within the time limit of one incense stick burning.
Wu Sangui swallowed the "Jadeite Three Treasures Xiaolongbao" in his mouth and said, "Now that Sect Leader Yuan and Chief Mai have finished cutting the radishes, let's check their results first, and then vote for Sect Leader Zhang of the Wudang Sect!"
Zhang Rushan smiled slightly and took a few steps back.
In front of Yuan Batian was a large bowl of thinly sliced green radishes.
In front of Mai Renkuang, the basin was also filled with thinly sliced green radishes.
Feng Xifan said, "In terms of knife skills, I think..."
"Lord Feng!" Princess Jianning interrupted Feng Xifan, "It's not Lord Feng's place to comment on the knife skills in cooking. We should ask Lord Li to make the evaluation!"
Feng Xifan looked a little embarrassed and said with a forced smile, "What the princess said is very true. Lord Li should comment on the knife skills of Master Yuan and Chief Mai."
Li Huan said, "In terms of knife skills in cooking, Yuan Batian and Mai Renkuang seem to be evenly matched, but knife skills in cooking require attention to detail. Your Highness, Princess and all the judges, please inspect the radish slices."
Yuan Batian quickly picked up the large basin and placed it in front of the referee team.
Not to be outdone, Mai Renkuang also placed a large basin in front of the judges, showing an attitude of wanting to outdo Yuan Batian.
Wu Sangui reached out and casually took a few slices of radish from Yuan Batian's large basin.
"The radish slices cut by Master Yuan are all very thin and even; his knife skills are superb!"
Immediately afterwards, Wu Sangui took out a few slices of radish from Mai Renkuang's large basin and compared them with Yuan Batian's radish slices.
"It looks like Boss Mai sliced the radish very thinly and evenly..."
As Wu Sangui spoke, his brows furrowed slightly.
"The two of them were cutting radishes so quickly, thinly, and evenly that it was really hard to tell who was better!"
Wu Yingqi said, "That's right, it's a close call."
Li Huan reminded, "Don't just check the radish slices on top; take the radish slices from the middle of the bowl and compare them carefully."
Wei Xiaobao reached into Yuan Batian's large basin and grabbed a handful of radish slices.
Duolong also reached into Mai Renkuang's large basin and scooped out a handful of radish slices.
Compare them.
Wei Xiaobao said, "They're all sliced very thinly and evenly; it's impossible to tell who's better!"
Wu Sangui said, "In that case, I hereby declare that in the competition of cooking skills and knife skills, Yuan Batian of the Sea Sand Sect and Mai Renkuang of the Giant Whale Gang are evenly matched!"
Wu Yingxiong said, "Father, Princess, and all judges, please vote for Yuan Batian of the Sea Sand Faction and Mai Renkuang of the Giant Whale Gang!"
Wu Sangui raised his hand: "I vote for both Yuan Batian and Mai Renkuang!"
Undoubtedly, Wu Sangui wanted to recruit Yuan Batian and Mai Renkuang into his ranks.
Li Huan was fully aware of Wu Sangui's intentions.
The Haisha faction made their living by selling smuggled salt. They used to be incredibly wealthy. Although the government has cracked down on them and their smuggled salt business is not as good as before, the Haisha faction is still very rich and powerful, with many disciples.
The Giant Whale Gang has dominated the seas for hundreds of years, and its strength should not be underestimated.
If Wu Sangui could win over both the Hai Sha faction and the Ju Jing gang, he would effectively control the coastal areas!
