Chapter 40 Cooking Skills Ouyang Ming's Delicacies
The two days have passed in a flash, and in the past two days, Li Mengxiao has been studying the two-style swordsmanship from the Five Spirits Xuan Sword Technique and the Eight Swords of the Dry Heaven. But the result of the incident disappointed Li Mengxiao. In order to speed up the cultivation of these heaven-level swordsmanship, he even used the power of the true martial sword to barely comprehend the subtlety of the blue wave strangulation. "The cultivation difficulty of the heaven-level sword technique is far above the earth-level advanced sword technique, even with the help of the power of the true martial sword, I just have to spend a year or two to practice!"
Li Mengxiao made a rough estimate, but he was very worried. Because yesterday I got a surprising news from Wen Qingping, the five top sects in the Central Domain, the three hidden families, and countless earth-level forces will also send disciples to the Heavenly Array List to seize the formation, although his strength is one of the best in the five northwestern countries, but against the children of the upper middle region forces, the victory or defeat is also unknown. "It seems that we have to travel through time and space before the competition starts, and after the competition is over, return to the sect immediately and let Elder Liuyun help me forge a new sword of the Five Elements!"
After Li Mengxiao finished speaking, he pushed open the window and looked out the window, roughly calculated, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to go to the trial ground." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Who, why are you looking for me at this time!" Li Mengxiao muttered as he opened the door. "Brother Wen, why are you here?" Seeing the people outside the door, Li Mengxiao was a little surprised, after all, at this time, the contestants should also go to the martial arts arena, how could they come to him.
"I'm not afraid that you'll overpractice and forget the time, so I came over to call you!" Wen Qingping finished speaking, and patted Li Mengxiao. "Thank you Brother Wen for your kindness, the younger brother is also about to go out. Why don't we go together!" Wen Qingping waved the folding fan in his hand, "That's the best, Brother Xiao, please!" The two laughed and walked towards the hall of the villa.
At this time, in front of the hall of the villa, four stoves have been set up. Inside the hall, Yang Deng sat in the center. Yang Zhen took his beloved daughter to sit on Yang Deng's right-hand side, and on the left-hand side sat Yang Deng's eldest son Yang Feng and this son Yang Ken, as for the third prince, he didn't come over because of a hangover. It's almost time to see everyone coming. Yang Deng glanced at the Phoenix Fairy-Jin Feng who was standing on the side, and Jin Feng suddenly walked a few steps forward, "Fellow contestants, the third round of cooking competition starts now, please come to the stage to participate in the competition!"
Of the fourteen people standing around, four of the gold medalists walked out of the crowd. I walked to the stove, took out the ingredients I had collected in the past two days, and began to cook. "Stupid, what are the ingredients chosen!" Wen Qingping looked at the ingredients selected by the four gold medal contestants on the stage, and couldn't help but complain, "Although wolf meat is a good choice in game, its meat quality is extremely rough, and if it is not handled well, it will be difficult to swallow at all! And this guy still uses a flame wolf, and the meat quality is even more difficult to deal with than other wolf monsters! There is also Cao Tianxing's guy, who actually beat a yellow-toothed old elephant." It's unknown whether the meat of any guy can be cooked or not. ”
Li Mengxiao didn't speak, silently watching the people on the field chop up the meat and vegetable ingredients and cook them in various ways. Two hours later, the four of them put the dishes they had cooked on the plates, and each dish was divided into five equal parts! Fukube Fu looked at the warriors in the audience, the dishes they were cooking, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching for a while. Jin Feng clapped his hands, and twenty maids walked out and brought the dishes of the four gold medal contestants to Yang Deng and the others.
As soon as Yang Deng and the others saw the dishes in front of them, their stomachs suddenly turned upside down. Yang Ken was bold, stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of wolf meat and put it into his mouth. In an instant, Yang Ken's originally delicate face suddenly became distorted. "Phew, what is this, even steamed buns and pickles are much better than this!" Yang Ken spit out the wolf meat in one gulp, and couldn't help but complain.
Yang Deng was furious, pointed at the man who cooked the wolf meat and shouted, "You dare to make this kind of thing for the royal family to eat, come on, pull him down." Twenty rods, expel him from the imperial capital!" When the two guards heard this, they immediately stepped forward and pulled up the man who had cooked the wolf meat and dragged him out of the hall. Yang Deng looked at the person who was dragged out and shouted, "All the dishes made by the gold medal players are not up to standard, and they will all be punished! You can leave." ”
As soon as they heard this, although the other three people had a whisper in their hearts, they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to obediently withdraw from the villa. Yang Deng turned around and looked at the remaining few people, "Silver, bronze, and iron players, if you are not sure, you can leave here now." If you dare to make unpalatable dishes, that person just now will be your fate!"
The rest of the people in the field, except for Li Mengxiao and Shuangjun of the Shengyin Academy, the rest of them were inevitably a little frightened, but none of them withdrew. Yang Deng glanced at everyone, "Have the courage, I hope you don't regret it! The game continues, and the silver medalists can take the stage!" Four more people walked out of the crowd, namely Chen Yu of the Biying Sect, Wolf Tianao of Phantom Mountain, Mu Li, the top disciple of the Inner Court of the Holy Sound Academy, and Ouyang Ming after the Three Monarchs. "Brother Wen, is Ouyang Ming good at cooking?"
Li Mengxiao looked at the few people on the stage and asked Wen Qingping quietly. Wen Qingping shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Although the professor's homework at Shengyin Academy also has cooking, I have never seen him go to class! It shouldn't be a problem!" Li Mengxiao looked at Ouyang Ming, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "I hope he can pass smoothly, so that I can have a good fight with him!"
In the past two hours, the four of them successfully finished cooking the dishes and sent them to Yang Deng and the others. Looking a little better than the last time, Yang Deng glanced at the people around him and said, "Then let's start eating from Mu Li's, the first dish is the charcoal-grilled fresh fish he cooked!" After Yang Deng finished speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of fish meat into his mouth. As soon as they saw Yang Deng's lead to eat, Yang Zhen and several others also picked up chopsticks and ate the fish in the bowl.
As soon as the fish meat was eaten, Yang Deng's expression suddenly changed a little, and the faces of Yang Zhen and the others also became very strange. "Then it's a vegetarian dish, braised fresh bamboo shoots!Let's eat it with the staple food!" The five of them ate the bamboo shoots in the bowl with the third staple course, their strange faces became a little thicker, and they continued to eat the last dim sum and soup!
Mu Li looked at the faces of everyone on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a lot more nervous. After Yang Deng ate, he looked at several other people, and the others looked at Yang Deng, and their eyes expressed everything. Looking at the eyes of the others, Yang Deng also understood what they meant, got up and said, "Mu Li, although your food is delicious, it is too ordinary and has no characteristics. You push aside for now. Let's wait for the final result!"
When Mu Li heard this, he exhaled lightly. He saluted a few people, "The grass people understand, Your Majesty Xie for your guidance!" After speaking, Mu Li honestly stepped aside. Jin Feng glanced at Yang Deng and asked him if he would continue. Yang Deng nodded, indicating that he would continue! After receiving Yang Deng's signal, Jin Feng shouted, "Next, the Wolf of Phantom Mountain." A group of maids immediately went down and brought the dishes cooked by Wolf Tianyu to Yang Deng. As before, after Yang Deng and the royal relatives tasted it, they gave the same evaluation as before.
Immediately after Chen Yu's dishes were presented, Yang Deng and the others didn't even eat them, and directly asked Chen Yu to be expelled from the arena. "This guy is just unlucky. Wen Qingping looked at Chen Yu, who was dragged out by the guards, and his eyes were full of pity. "How do you say this, could it be that Chen Yu's cooking has committed any taboo of His Majesty!" Li Mengxiao's casual words made Wen Qingping tremble fiercely, and he hurriedly reached out to cover Li Mengxiao's mouth. "Brother Xiao is silent, you can't talk nonsense!"
Wen Qingping whispered: "You guessed right, Chen Yu has indeed committed His Majesty's taboo! Have you seen the dim sum he made!" When Li Mengxiao heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw a basket of crystal clear buns! "That dim sum is called Crystal Xiaolongbao, and it is the dim sum that one of His Majesty's most favored concubines loves to eat! That person later died of illness, and His Majesty was saddened and ordered that the entire imperial capital should not appear again Crystal Xiaolongbao! Those who violated the order were executed for treason!"
The corners of Li Mengxiao's mouth twitched violently for a while, "Chen Yu is really wronged!" Jin Fenglang shouted, "Next, Ouyang Ming." Ouyang Ming knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty forgives me, Ouyang respectfully asks Your Majesty, Prince Ning, Lord Yongning, and the two Highnesses to come down and taste!" Hearing this, Yang Deng's tone suddenly became a little indifferent, "Ouyang Ming, do you know what you're talking about!"
Ouyang Ming lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty forgives me, it's just that the dishes made by the younger generations need to be eaten immediately, so please come down and taste them!" Yang Deng was about to speak, but Yang Ken said first: "Father, it's better to go down first, if he doesn't make it delicious." Then another crime will be condemned!" When Yang Deng heard this, he glanced at Yang Ken coldly, "Okay, I will go down to taste the food, if it is the truth that the emperor said, this king will not be spared!"
After speaking, Yang Deng got up and came to Ouyang Ming's side! Ouyang Ming looked at Yang Deng and the others around him, and stretched out his hand to open the pot. Yang Deng was furious when he saw this, "Bold Ouyang Ming, you obviously only made one meat dish." Are you still sarcastic that I don't know how to count?" Ouyang Ming hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, wait a minute, the dishes will come out!" After speaking, Ouyang Ming waved his hand and swiped lightly on the big fish's body. The skin of the fish recedes in an instant, and four different dishes emerge directly from it!
"This is" Yang Deng asked suspiciously, looking at the changes in the big fish. "Fresh shrimp sauce dipped in fish fillet, fish hibiscus roast, fish oil stir-fried vegetables, fresh fish dumplings, and stewed fish soup! Please Your Majesty, Prince Ning, Yongning County Lord and the two royal highnesses to taste" Ouyang Ming looked at Yang Deng and the others and introduced them in detail! Yang Deng and the five people looked at the five dishes in front of them, and they took chopsticks to taste them! As soon as the first bite was finished, the faces of the five people suddenly flowed with joy, and they continued to eat! After Yang Deng finished tasting the food, he turned to look at Ouyang Ming, "You did a good job, it seems that this silver medal is among the four." You're in the cut!"
