At this moment, Xu Yuehuai looked at the broom again.
"Can this be used?"
"The girl is straightforward and will use whatever she wants."
After receiving permission, Xu Yuehuai broke the broom, took out the sorghum stalks, and quickly pieced them together to form a square lantern.
Next, she started making the soup. Once the soup was boiling hot, Xu Yuehuai placed the lantern's cover on the steaming soup bowl.
Just as everyone was overwhelmed by the sights, they suddenly saw Xu Yuehuai bring the dishes to everyone.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The beef was already as thin as a cicada's wing, and now, baked by the heat, it quickly curled up, releasing a delightful aroma that captivated everyone.
The audience was puzzled as to how such a piece of beef could be transformed into such a "window paper".
Amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd, Xu Yuehuai signaled to the judges that the test could begin. The four of them picked up their chopsticks, first carefully examining the beef slices, and only after admiring them did they reluctantly shift their gaze and begin eating.
The chopsticks were used very quickly, almost in a continuous stream.
After eating the Lantern Shadow Beef, everyone praised it highly.
In this way, the braised beef was completely outclassed, and everyone found it tasteless and bland when they ate it.
Zhang Baolong was extremely anxious, scratching his head and saying, "Sir, please tell me, is mine better, or is hers more powerful?"
"Manager Zhang, there's still one piece left. Don't blame me for favoring one over the other. You can try it yourself and you'll know which one is better."
“I’m afraid,” the Demon Eater sighed, “that you will be defeated.”
Zhang Baolong was furious. He grabbed his chopsticks and started eating. The remaining piece of beef was delicious and fragrant. Although there were no seasonings, the steam sent out its aroma.
It looks very simple, but it tastes surprisingly delicious.
Zhang Baolong remained silent for a long time before finally packing up his things and preparing to leave the stage.
Seeing that Zhang Baolong was about to leave, Xu Yuehuai also came out.
"Brother Zhang?" she called from behind.
Zhang Baolong turned around coldly, "How else do you intend to torture me?"
“Brother Zhang is the most domineering and tyrannical person in the capital, and has long caused the culinary world to be filled with resentment. Now, Brother Zhang is driving away fish from the deep and birds from the thicket, and actually hopes to drive us all out of the capital. Do you think you can earn all the money in the world by yourself?”
"shut up!"
He did indeed commit these heinous acts, but at this moment he stubbornly spoke up, "I fight for the honor of my family. Those nobodies should not have stayed in the capital and spoiled the appetite of the people of the capital."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Brother Zhang, why are you so extreme? What you like to eat may not be what others like, how can you generalize? And what you consider a cheap, no-name restaurant may not be disliked by everyone, and the pancakes sold on the street may not be as delicious as those made by the Imperial Kitchen, Brother Zhang..."
What exactly do you want to do?
Zhang Baolong believed that his defeat today would lead to Xu Yuehuai humiliating and tormenting him, and this was the beginning of everything. However, Xu Yuehuai did not think that way.
"I think Brother Zhang should stay. From now on, keep a low profile, be kind to others, and continue to shine in the capital. Just continue to make food in the capital."
Zhang Baolong never dreamed that Xu Yuehuai would make such a request.
He turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. "You mean, you want me to stay?"
"Yes, stay. I have no right to deport you, do I?"
Zhang Baolong looked at Xu Yuehuai, clenched his fists, and said indignantly, "From now on, you are my little sister. Through wind and rain, I will stay if you say the word."
The proud and arrogant Zhang Baolong did not leave, but chose to stay.
As Zhang Baolong's figure disappeared, everyone praised Xu Yuehuai's character and conduct.
As she stepped off the stage, Xu Yuehuai couldn't suppress her laughter.
Zhou Wan hurriedly moved closer, "Mother, you are really amazing. You have made your daughter-in-law look at you in a new light."
"What's the big deal? I have plenty of other abilities."
Yes, Xu Yuehuai's mind is filled with five thousand years of civilization, making him more knowledgeable than many people. Zhou Wan held Xu Yuehuai's hand with tears in her eyes, while Chun San Niang was greeting the others.
Xu Yuehuai prepared to go to Qi Guze's side.
Just as she turned around, she suddenly noticed a wisp of rapidly moving, snow-white light that vanished in an instant before her. Xu Yuehuai followed the light, but found that it had disappeared without a trace.
What kind of light is that?
Oops!
It is the light of weapons.
The next moment, a commotion broke out on the outskirts of the crowd, and Xu Yuehuai saw several burly men with weapons approaching Qi Guze's carriage.
The distance was so great that she couldn't even warn them; she could only watch helplessly as these people committed their atrocities. The man in the southwest direction held a mountain-splitting axe in his hand. The man was incredibly strong, and with a whoosh, he swung the axe, and with a loud bang, the sedan chair shattered.
The man from the Northwest roared in a booming voice and brandished his axe.
In no time at all, the axe had destroyed the carriage beyond recognition.
Xu Yuehuai was taken aback.
Upon seeing this, the crowd screamed and scattered in panic, fleeing for safety. Only Xu Yuehuai followed the carriage, when a man leaped up and slashed down with a powerful, split-mountain-like strike.
With just one strike, the axe could easily split the carriage in two.
The miracle did not happen; the axe indeed split the carriage in two. The man laughed, kicked away the debris, and prepared to search for the body.
But the next moment the man was dumbfounded, because apart from the tattered cloth and dragon bones, there was nothing in front of him. While he was puzzled, Qi Guze appeared behind the man with a cold smile, and the man immediately felt most of his body go numb.
"You...you're not dead."
He was surprised.
They watched helplessly as Qi Guze made his move inside the carriage, and somehow Qi Guze appeared behind them using some kind of illusion.
“It’s not that boring. You’ve tried to assassinate him several times, but you haven’t made any progress. Tie Xiong, take him away for questioning.” Qi Guze stood in front of the man, who was less than a third the size of him, but he casually reached out and pulled the man away.
The fat man fell with a thud in front of Tie Xiong.
At the same time, the other four companions were secretly anxious. They grabbed their machetes and swung them at Qi Guze. Qi Guze dodged as fast as a cat and as swift as a ghost. With a loud bang, the two machetes clashed together, sparks flying everywhere.
By the time the two reacted, they were frozen in place. Several martial arts masters quickly approached, tied them up, and took them away. This was not the first time Xu Yuehuai had seen Qi Guze use martial arts.
All four were quickly captured, and the crowd cheered, impressed by Gu Ze's prowess.
