Xu Jingming said with a smile: "Lord Lu Meng came here this time, he must not just return the secret recipe."

Lu Teng also had a diplomatic smile on his face: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace. The old decay is indeed here to discuss something."

Xu Jingming raised his eyebrows: "Hehe, but it's okay to say."

"The Western Alliance has always been eyeing our Southern Alliance. Although their current strength is on par with our alliance, or slightly inferior. But as the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves and remembering.'" Over the years, the other party has been constantly harassing, and our alliance can no longer bear it. The old man wants to finish his work in one battle and take down the Western Alliance as soon as possible!"

Xu Jingming didn't expect him to say this, and his face changed slightly.

He took a sip of tea: "What does Elder Lu mean......

Lu Teng looked around, and then focused his gaze on Lu Yuan.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a low but clear voice:

"I hope your alliance can help us!"

Xu Jingming smiled faintly and slowly put down the teacup.

"Lu Lao can really be described as 'Lao Ji Fu Fang, with ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. "Ahh I really can't imagine that you have such ambitions."

"Master Xu has won the award. The old man is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for long. But before dying, I still want to jump twice, otherwise I will die a humiliating death. Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha! Lu Lao is really funny." Xu Jingming couldn't help laughing.

Lu Teng asked tentatively, "I don't know what Xu Meng has in mind?"

Xu Jingming slowly stood up and paced slowly.

"It's not impossible to help. But according to the rules, what can your alliance give us?"

Both sides know each other better, so they speak straightforwardly, without as many twists and turns as worldly diplomacy.

Lu Teng immediately set his eyes on Lu Yuan.

Seeing that Lu Teng did not speak, Xu Jingming continued:

"Old Lu, you return the secret recipe for hot pot, which was originally something of our alliance. If there is only such a point, it is difficult to reflect the sincerity of your alliance."

Lu Yuan nodded to Lu Teng.

The latter immediately said to Xu Jingming: "Our alliance still has other things to give to your alliance."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it."

"Elder Xu, the details will be explained by this Lu Xiaoyou."

"Okay. Friends, please speak."

"Lord Lu Meng," Lu Yuan arched his hand, "You are a cheerful person, so you won't beat around the bush below. We can provide you with better hot pot recipes."

The Shu people are spicy, and they have a fanaticism that borders on belief in hot pot.

The secret ingredient of hot pot is something that is popular over there and can be exchanged for other things.

Almost similar to mortal currency.

"Hahaha! Is it? Xiaoyou is really joking. Although our alliance is small, it's not me who boasts about Haikou, and we are really not inferior to others in the secret recipe of hot pot."

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and also stood up.

"Whether the hot pot under the order is delicious or not, please ask the alliance leader to taste it before making a conclusion."

Lu Yuan had revealed this new hot pot secret recipe to Lu Teng before, but he didn't say anything specific. Just asked him to send someone to find some ingredients.

And of course he knew that Xu Jingming had collected many hot pot recipes. Is Lu Yuan's recipe really better than all of these?

So at this moment, Lu Teng's heart is completely bottomless.

He could only pray in his heart that Lu Yuan would not go wrong at a critical moment.

Xu Jingming smiled, "Lu Xiaoyou is still full of confidence. Well, young people, I just like the momentum of young people. Good! Anyway, if you're idle, you'll give it a try."

"Thank you, Lord!" Lu Yuan happily bowed his hand.

At this moment, Lu Teng's heart began to tug

（M.. COM）

The taste of the food.

If it's too frozen, the meat will turn into firewood.

If it is not frozen enough, the taste will be loose and there is a risk of tarnishing.

Guo Pu was calm, facing the large pieces of meat ingredients, took a deep breath, and danced the kitchen knife again.

"Boom, boom!"

In less than 20 breaths, all the ingredients have been uncut!

"Hehe, Shudi hot pot, the requirements for knife skills are extremely high. Thick and thin cuts are not good. In addition, different ingredients have different angles when cutting. If you cut the beef at the same angle as you cut the pork, it will definitely affect the taste! I also wrote down the exact number of this thickness and angle in the secret recipe."

The audience was in an uproar.

"Really? Aren't we all after thin cuts? Isn't it good to be too thin?"

"Does the angle really affect the taste? It's the first time I've heard ......."

Xu Jingming himself also knows for the first time that the angle of cutting meat will affect the taste. He was shocked.

But he will still be skeptical.

Mystery is right? When the time comes, see what impact your so-called angle has.

At this point, the soup in the pot is also boiling.

Guo Pu shouted, "Open!"

When the lid of the pot is opened, the smell is fragrant.

Everyone involuntarily let out a "wow".

Xu Jingming's heart moved:

This scent......

He seemed to have entered the mysterious jungle of Shuzhong, felt the dampness and heat and fragrance, felt the surprise of visiting the hidden path, and felt the indescribable comfort and comfort.

Lu Yuan smiled, "Everyone, you can try it now. But I don't know how many people will come before I go down, so I only prepared ten pairs of dishes and chopsticks."

Shuangshu and Lu Teng immediately said, "We don't eat."

Xu Jingming chose the nine people with the most taste, and a total of ten people together with him, and tried them together.

The nine people first sandwiched different meat and put it in a pot.

It only takes a few breaths to eat.

But for these few breaths, Lu Teng has always been apprehensive.

He had never eaten the hot pot made by Guo Pu and Lu Yuan, and he didn't know if it would be favored by Xu Jingming.

Nine people put the food in the chopsticks in their mouths.

For a moment, the sound of the hall seemed to freeze suddenly. There is only the "gurgling" sound of boiling hot pot soup.

They seemed to have seen something incredible, and they were all so amazed that their eyes were so round that they almost forgot to breathe.

As soon as the chopsticks were in their stomachs, they immediately sandwiched it again and dipped the food in the dipping sauce.

After chewing carefully, the nine people desperately suppressed their excitement and joy, and invariably nodded and praised Xu Jingming desperately!

Lu Teng's hanging heart fell halfway.

If you get these nine people, it shouldn't be too bad.

But can you pass Xu Jingming's hurdle?

Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the nine people who tried it first suspiciously.

He took a slice of beef and put it in the pot and soaked it, then took it out and blew it, and slowly put it in his mouth.

At the moment of entering the beef, he suddenly felt that the taste buds of the tongue coating were forcibly opened by a mysterious force.

The right aroma and spicy flavor are immediately transmitted to the brain.

He shuddered a little.

When you bite it, the fatty gravy and the magical soup of the beef come together and bloom in your mouth!

The delicious taste instantly enveloped his senses of taste, smell and all over his body, rolling into the switch of pleasure in his brain!

A new world slowly opened up before him.

The delicacy of this hot pot is like a king who conquers the world, no matter how cultivated you are, you have to kneel in front of him!

Xu Jingming resisted the urge to kneel, but he had already burst into tears.
