Chapter 44 Winter melon and mushroom soup vs. three fresh soup The identity is suspected
After Li Mengxiao listened, his heart suddenly became a little nervous. "Soup is a very important existence at the banquet, whether I can advance smoothly depends on this bowl of soup!Wait, Wen Qingping wants to ......" Inadvertently, Li Mengxiao glanced at Wen Qingping. I saw Wen Qingping take out a dozen small fish more than half a foot old from the spirit ring, ready to use them to cook soup!" "It seems that he wants to make a soup similar to that fresh fish soup!"
Li Mengxiao thought of this, and said with great joy in his heart, "Your Majesty and the others have eaten too many greasy things, and I am afraid that if they are eating something too delicious, it will make them feel upset! In this case, I will cook a winter melon and mushroom soup that relieves the oiliness!" After Li Mengxiao finished speaking, he rushed to the edge of the basket, selected a large and plump winter melon, and a dozen fresh mushrooms, and returned to the stove! Wen Qingping had already processed all the fish he wanted to cook at this time! Turning his head to look at Li Mengxiao's side, he couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the ingredients Li Mengxiao selected.
Although winter melon and mushrooms are also good in the ingredients for cooking soup, in terms of taste, they are indeed not as delicious as their own green and purple fish. "It seems that this round, I have won!" Wen Qingping's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of joy, speeding up the speed of washing the blue and purple fish. Li Mengxiao looked at Wen Qingping's actions, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "It seems that he thought that my ingredients were too simple, and he was surprised that I couldn't make good soup! Brother Wen, Brother Wen, do you think that simple ingredients can't make delicious!"
After Li Mengxiao finished speaking, he waved his hand, washed the winter melon, and then used sword qi to peel it and chop it into small squares of uniform size! Then Li Mengxiao used the same method to wash and chop the shiitake mushrooms he had picked, and sent them into the pot to boil together with the winter melon. "Winter melon and mushroom soup is not difficult to cook, just wait until the pot is boiling, and add a spoonful of salt!" After Li Mengxiao finished speaking, a burst of red light emanated from his hands, and two flames flew out directly from Li Mengxiao's palms and burned under the iron pot where the soup was cooking.
With the blessing of the firepower in Li Mengxiao's palm, in less than half an hour, there was a sudden sound in the iron pot, and a trace of heat came out! "Almost" Li Mengxiao said as he opened the lid on the iron pot. In an instant, a rich aroma of winter melon and mushrooms slowly wafted out of the pot! Looking at the boiling soup in the pot, Li Mengxiao showed a happy look on the corner of his mouth, reached out and took a small spoonful of salt, poured it into the soup pot, closed the lid and continued to boil!
On the other side, the fish soup cooked by Wen Qingping also gradually wafted out the aroma. Li Mengxiao sniffed lightly, and his eyebrows couldn't help but tuft, "Fresh fish, fresh mutton, and the aroma of colorful brocade chicken! But things must be reversed, Brother Wen, I want to see what kind of soup you can cook!" After Li Mengxiao finished speaking, he continued to process the soup he had cooked! Half an hour later, the two of them put out the fire one after another, took out the soup they made, and put it on the table. Jin Feng waved her hand, and the maid walked out again and sent the soup made by the two to Yang Deng and the others.
Looking at the two bowls of soup in front of him, the bowl of soup cooked by Wen Qingping was very rich in color, and there were green onions, carrots, and so on floating on the surface of the soup!
After speaking, the five of them drank the soup cooked by Wen Qingping together. In an instant, a wonderful change appeared on the faces of the five people. "The freshness of the fish and lamb and the silky texture of the chicken. As well as the perfect accompaniment of several vegetables. This soup can be regarded as superb!" After Yang Deng finished drinking, he slowly made an evaluation! The faces of the rest of the people were also intoxicated, but soon a feeling of thirst appeared directly in the mouths of several people!
"Why are you so thirsty all of a sudden, Jin Feng asked someone to bring some water!" Yang Deng rubbed his throat and couldn't help but say. "Your Majesty, slow down" Li Mengxiao hurriedly interrupted Yang Deng's words, "If Your Majesty feels thirsty, you can taste the soup made below!" Yang Deng heard this, and looked down at Li Mengxiao's soup. As soon as he saw the soup like white water, Yang Deng said helplessly: "Forget it, this soup is as clear as water, maybe it can quench your thirst!" After speaking, Yang Deng directly drank the soup made by Li Mengxiao. The rest of the people couldn't stand their thirst, and they also drank the soup made by Li Mengxiao!
"This soup is actually ......" As soon as he finished drinking, Li Mengxiao made the soup. Yang Deng's faces changed instantly, if Wen Qingping's soup was extremely rich in flavor before, then the taste of this bowl of soup was indeed light and sweet, especially the sweet and sour feeling in the soup, which actually relieved his thirst in an instant. "It's winter melon, Xiao Mengli used the refreshing power of winter melon to suppress the umami brought by Wen Qingping's soup, thus quenching my thirst!" Yang Deng thought of this, turned his head and looked at the rest of the people, Yang Zhen's face did not change, Yang Feng and Yang Ken were still immersed in the taste of the soup. Yang Yao looked like he didn't care!"In that case, then that's fine!"
Thinking of this, Yang Deng stood up and said loudly, "In this last competition, you two have their own merits, so it's a tie!But because all four gold medalists failed in the first round, both of you advanced!" After speaking, Yang Deng glanced at the Phoenix Fairy-Jin Feng. Jin Fenghui took two steps forward, "Ouyang Ming, Xiang Huarong, Wen Qingping, Xiao Mengli!
Wen Qingping, Li Mengxiao, and Ouyang Minghe, who had already won the victory, stepped forward, and the golden phoenix waved his palms continuously, and the four tokens flew out and fell directly into the hands of the four people. "Tomorrow at noon, the four of you will go to the Royal Arena for the last competition! The one with the same number on the token is your opponent tomorrow. Now, you leave the villa immediately, and before noon tomorrow, enter the Imperial City Martial Arts Arena!"
After Li Mengxiao listened, he glanced down at the token in his hand, and the token was engraved with a capital letter! The four of them looked at each other, trying to find out who their opponent was! "Why are you, I'm going crazy!" Wen Qingping suddenly had a feeling of collapse when he saw that his opponent was Ouyang Ming, who was also one of the three gentlemen of the Holy Sound Academy. Wen Qingping naturally knew how strong the strength of this Eclipse Heavenly Monarch, the head of the Three Monarchs, was! Ouyang Ming looked at Wen Qingping's appearance, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes, "Okay, Brother Wen, have you forgotten, did I promise you anything?"
Wen Qingping suddenly thought of something, and said angrily, "I haven't forgotten, you just don't forget!" On the other side, Li Mengxiao also looked at Xiang Huarong, and Xiang Huarong's eyes also had a hint of strong fighting intent!"Fortunately, it's him, if it's against Wen Qingping, I'll have to spend some means, I'm afraid I'll have to expose my hidden martial arts! If it's against Ouyang Ming...... Li Mengxiao couldn't help but shudder in his heart, he got along with him these days, and the many evil thoughts emanating from Ouyang Ming's body actually made him feel frightened many times! If you want to defeat him, you have to fight with all your might, otherwise you will be killed by him!
"Fortunately, it seems that I have no problem winning the second place in this competition!" Li Mengxiao thought as he walked towards the outside of the villa. "Go back to the imperial capital first, pay a visit to Uncle Dongguo! and then just wait for the competition to end, and return to the sect immediately. Travel through time and space, and practice the Blue Wave Strangulation and the Five Spirits Xuan Sword Technique!"
But what Li Mengxiao didn't know was that someone was doubting his identity at this time! Behind the hall, Yang Deng was discussing something with Yang Zhen. "Brother Xian, do you know what Xiao Mengli's identity is with this kid!" Yang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, "Brother, what do you mean, Xiao Mengli is just a casual cultivator." Why ask like that!" "Hmph" Yang Deng snorted coldly, "Scattered cultivation, Xiao Mengli, Li Mengxiao." Don't you understand?"
"Li Mengxiao, the imperial brother is saying. The number one kendo master among the younger generation of the Wind and Dust Empire, Li Mengxiao! Could this Xiao Mengli be Li Mengxiao? Impossible, if it was him, he could have come over with the disciples of the Astounding Cloud Sect. Why do you need to pretend to be a scattered cultivator!" Yang Deng snorted coldly, "It's not because he has already made a marriage with the daughter of the head of the Amazing Cloud Sect! If he comes to participate in the competition under such circumstances, won't he be trapped in a place of injustice!"
When Yang Zhen heard this, he asked, "But Brother Huang, if this Xiao Mengli is the real Li Mengxiao." What's the benefit of him doing this! A fake identity is fake after all, and it can't come true! How can he stay with Yao'er as Xiao Mengli!" Yang Deng also nodded after hearing this, "What you said also makes sense, it seems that I am still suspicious! Forget it, if this Xiao Mengli is really usable! I can give him an official position and keep him in the court!" Yang Zhen also nodded again and again, "Brother Huang, junior brother has to go back to appease Yao'er." I'll take my leave first!" Yang Deng nodded, "Then you go back first, we'll see you tomorrow at noon!"
Yang Zhen also nodded, turned around and retreated! As soon as Yang Zhen walked out of the gate, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief! He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard! In the imperial capital, Li Mengxiao strode into the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion. "Childe, do you want to buy something?" asked a woman dressed as a maid. Li Mengxiao glanced at her and asked, "Girl, dare to ask Miss Dongguo Xue if she is there!"
"Snow Maiden!" The maid frowned slightly after hearing this and asked, "What is the relationship between Childe and Snow Maiden, why do you want to see her!" Li Mengxiao said with a thought, "In the second half of the month, I asked the Snow Maiden to customize a batch of pills, and I came to pick up the medicine today!" When the maid heard this, she hurriedly saluted, "Childe, wait a minute, wait for the slave maid to go to the court!" After the maid entered, only a moment, Dong Guo Xue walked out of the hall directly, and when she saw Li Mengxiao, Dong Guo Xue was extremely surprised and asked, "Why are you ......?"
Before Dongguo Xue finished speaking, Li Mengxiao suddenly interjected, "Snow girl, you are so forgetful." I asked you to customize the pill half a month ago, and you asked me to get the pill today!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mengxiao quickly transmitted a message to Dong Guo Xue, "I have something to do with Uncle Dong Guo, you have to help me!" When Dong Guo Xue heard this, he suddenly understood something in his heart, and hurriedly replied, "Don't blame the son, there are still two pills left to be refined, so I bother the son to go in with me to get the medicine!"
