Chapter 526: The Law of True Fragrance



The informer is not Song Bailu?

I confirmed this many times, and Hu Lingshang also gave an accurate answer. She was absolutely sure because I gave her special instructions that day, asking her to keep an eye on Song Bailu, and Song Bailu stayed in the house sulking that day, without any chance or means to contact the outside world, so the possibility of her being secretive was extremely small.

Since Lingshang has such a keen insight and is watching closely, the changes are indeed relatively small. Song Bailu cannot have broken through Lingshang's insight, so my guess that the informer is Song Bailu is basically difficult to establish. Excluding Song Bailu's Gaomi arrangement for Yunwen and I to go to Taoyuan Mountain and other arrangements, there is only one possibility, that is, there is indeed a third person who is interfering.

It seems that Song Bailu's anger and views are indeed wrong. In addition, she really needs to reflect on and be punished for deceiving me before. However, she really has no intention of betraying me, and has not colluded with the enemy to deal with me. There is something else strange about this.

Now that I think about it, since this person wants to help the Netherworld Gang, it means he has a certain connection with it. If there is a connection, it means he is not a good person either. And I have a feeling that he may have some mysterious connection with the alien species.

Song Bailu was quite honest and had nothing to hide. In addition, Ling Shang had always emphasized that when they were in the cave, if Song Bailu had not threatened Cheng Feng, Ling Shang would have been in trouble and she would not have helped to study the Demon-Controlling Stone. This is how Ling Shang was saved, but was trapped in a small space with hungry rats.

Therefore, she cannot be punished too harshly. After all, her merits should be used to offset her faults. If the punishment is too severe, Ling Shang might not be happy. In addition, she now has experience in researching the Magic Stone, and many people are waiting for her to give some analysis and sharing. It is really not good to offend too many people. So, as before, she will be punished with twenty military sticks to teach her a lesson. In addition, a confidant must be sent to the West Island to supervise her daily actions.

Song Bailu accepted this, after all, she was in the wrong first, so she went out, and I beat her with a stick myself, and each hit was not light. She bit the cloth and stood firm. Although the girls were distressed and kept trying to persuade her to be gentler, they did not dare to say anything after Yunwen said that I needed to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

After the punishment, Song Bailu was sent to the second floor to rest. It was already getting dark outside, and we had been busy for so long that our stomachs were growling with hunger.

"Everyone, every time I come here I just eat and drink for free. Why not let me cook a meal for you tonight? In addition to celebrating that another strong enemy has been driven away, I also want to thank Brother Zhou Bo for his timely action this time. Otherwise, I might really die from Cheng Feng's evil magic." Su Yuexi said.

Lingshang would probably agree with all her heart, but Yunwen and I are in a dilemma. After all, Su Yuexi's cooking skills are really good and her food is delicious, but all her food is vegetarian. If she is the chef, tonight's meal will probably be all vegetarian, which may not satisfy Yunwen and I's taste buds.

But we couldn't refuse her kindness, and it would not be nice for us to reject her in person.

Yunwen thought for a while and said, "How about this, I will prepare together with Miss Su, is that ok?"

"Okay, but can I cook tonight?" Su Yuexi said.

Yunwen seemed to realize that this was not very polite. After all, Su Yuexi had helped so much this time. Although she was now one of my wives and was under my jurisdiction here and I had to call her sister, her family was very powerful. She had the title of the adopted daughter of the Mountain God. It would be bad if I offended her.

It’s fine if it’s vegetarian, there’s nothing wrong with having a simple meal once in a while.

"Of course, I just want to help. If you can use me in any way, just tell me." Yunwen said.

"You are the queen, so how can I order you to do anything? If you want to cook tonight, I will let you do it." Su Yuexi said.

"Then you come. I won't compete with you for the credit. I'll just see how good Miss Su's cooking skills are." Yunwen said.

So Yunwen sat next to me and pouted at me helplessly. I hugged her, let her lie in my arms, and whispered, "It's okay, I'm giving you a chance to rest."

Yunwen nodded.

At this time, Su Yuexi clapped his hands, and the manipulation technique began to work again. A pile of hay, branches and wood outside were automatically tied into a scarecrow and came in to help with the work. Two of them helped to chisel ice and put it in a basin to heat it up. Two of them started to wash bowls, chopsticks, pots and the like with brushes and soap leaves.

Su Yuexi also went to the stove area and started adding firewood to make a fire. Since she had a lot of "helpers", the vegetables were soon washed, but the cooking was done by her independently.

There was no need to peel the potatoes, as they just fell off whole. She began to slice them with a knife at a very fast speed, and the slices were automatically turned in a whirlpool by the boiling water in the pot. Then she sprinkled some tender flowers she had picked along the way. Spring was coming, and many young buds were already in bud. As this material was stirred with the potatoes, a strange compatible reaction soon occurred, giving the potatoes a more fragrant aroma.

The potatoes being cooked over a slow fire were automatically stirred in the pot. At the other end, she found some rice. Under her witchcraft, the rice husks fell off automatically. Then she cooked rice in the usual way. She took a wooden barrel to hold spring water, mixed it with the rice grains in a certain ratio, poured clean water into an iron pot at the mouth of another stove, placed the wooden barrel on it, and began to simmer.

Since the scarecrow was helping to look after all these, she busy herself with other things and started cutting quince leaves, wood ears, carrots, and the lemon slices she had brought. After finishing these, she took out the potato slices that were almost cooked, and then rolled them all into mashed potatoes. Then she poured all the ingredients except the orange peel into the mashed potatoes, stirred them together, and after mixing them together, she formed them into meatballs. She found the iron rack we usually use for grilling and started to grill them on it. All of a sudden, the fragrance of flowers, potatoes, and the vegetables wrapped inside all gave off a strong and intertwined aroma.

It was the first time for Yunwen and I to see this way of eating, and our appetites began to growl.

While grilling, she brushed the meatballs with the honey she brought. The meatballs became more and more fragrant as they grilled. She only took them out when the skin of the potatoes was a little burnt. She put them on a plate, sprinkled some flower petals on them, and put a few lemon slices on them. The presentation was very exquisite.

Then she took out the pheasant eggs she brought back along the way. Of course, she chose those that were impossible to hatch. After beating them, she put them in a wooden bowl and mashed them evenly. Then she put them directly into the pot and stirred them constantly. The tender sprout soup was mixed with the egg liquid to form egg drop soup. She then added some auxiliary ingredients, such as red dates, ginseng powder, etc. to adjust the soup base, and you could smell the fragrance.

Afterwards, I made a bowl of kelp mixed with sour sauce, stir-fried bamboo shoots, tender egg soup, assorted honey-roasted meatballs, and spring water steamed rice. These were all the most natural ingredients, and it was the first time I had such a fancy meal.

Yunwen and I were both surprised. We never thought that a vegetarian meal could be cooked in so many ways and still be so delicious. We could all eat this meal, and it was a rare gathering. It was a pity that Song Bailu didn't have this blessing and could only lie on the second floor and eat alone. The thoughtful Su Yuexi also asked the scarecrow to send a portion up, and we ate it ourselves.

A bite of the assorted meatballs is truly delicious, not only tasty but also a treat for the taste buds. The refreshing taste of potatoes, the occasional stimulation of other ingredients, plus the sweet, fresh and ancient roasted flavor, and the final fresh scent of lemon, it is simply something that gods eat and goes very well with rice.

The soup was delicious, and the other dishes were all top quality. With such a large scale, I think this is the level of food a king should enjoy, not only filling but also delicious.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This meal is the reward for the king's victory, and it is indeed much higher than ordinary food.

Yunwen and I were smacking our lips as we ate, and the law of true fragrance came into play.

But just when I was enjoying the meal, I suddenly thought of Cheng Feng. He lived in that place. Even if he studied strange things every day, according to the law of conservation of energy, he must eat. Why was there no kitchen, stove, campfire, big pot, etc.? What did he eat on weekdays?

He doesn't eat, but those pirates who have been here for a week, it's impossible for them to not eat anything, right?
