Chapter 198 Cashing in on the bet and having a barbecue
Inside the big iron cage, the black horned pig lost, and there was no suspense about the defeat!
Its appearance has changed from completely black to half black and half red now.
Lying motionless on the ground, dying.
Of course, although its opponent was still standing, he was not much better, and his body was bruised and stained with blood.
In this battle of beasts, Fu Chen naturally lost.
Because of his past experiences and complex understanding of human nature, Fu Chen has always been relatively indifferent to strangers.
It is easier to arouse sympathy for animals that are innocent and have not provoked oneself.
Seeing the miserable appearance of Black Horn Pig, which was all caused by himself, Fu Chen couldn't bear it.
Pointing at it, he turned around and asked Chi Xiao: "Princess Chi Xiao, can you give it to me?"
"It is seriously injured and will die soon. What are you doing here?" Chi Xiao asked in confusion.
Fu Chen insisted: "Even if it dies, I still want it."
"As you wish." Chi Xiao nodded in agreement.
He ordered the guard next to him: "Treat it immediately. Regardless of whether it can be saved, send it to Wushuang Palace."
A guard came over, took the black horned pig out of the cage and took it away.
Fu Chen cupped his fists towards Chi Xiao and solemnly thanked her: "Thank you very much, Princess Chi Xiao!"
On the other side, the results of the beast fight in the cage came out immediately.
Ji Ziqian began to discuss with everyone who would be the participant in the subsequent competition.
The geniuses present seemed particularly interested in today's beast fight.
In order to decide who would play, we almost had to compete on the middle stage.
As for whether they were simply interested in fighting beasts, or whether they were interested in competing with Fu Chen, it was unclear.
It is also because of this that no one pays attention to or cares about Fu Chen's request.
Not long after, the participants in the next two competitions also had their final results.
They are Xuanyuan Chengfeng and Jiang Mingcong.
Moreover, they all gave up the priority of selecting fighting beasts.
Of these two people, one is sincerely humble and the other is deliberately making a gesture.
Fu Chen knew this, but it didn't matter. It had no effect on the result anyway.
In the second game, he started to choose fighting animals. Without thinking, Fu Chen chose a red horned pig that looked arrogant.
Princess Chixiao next to her saw that he was too casual and took the initiative to ask: "Fu Chen, what are the criteria for selecting so quickly?"
Fu Chen replied casually: "The previous standard was that it was pleasing to the eye, but the current standard is that it is not pleasing to the eye."
Chi Xiao looked at Fu Chen in surprise and surprise, remaining speechless.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Chengfeng carefully observed it and selected a yellow corner pig.
Immediately, the second beast battle began.
The battle between the two horned pigs is still fierce, cruel and tragic.
Once they are provoked into a fight, they will go all out regardless of the cost.
Unless one side is completely unable to stand up and has completely lost its fighting capacity, the other side will not give up.
It is probably for this reason that this breed of pig has become the top choice for beast fighting in this world.
The result of the second beast-fighting competition was that Fu Chen still lost.
Fighting beasts is nominally a matter of luck and fairness.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it still depends on each person’s experience, as well as their understanding and judgment of the combat effectiveness of fighting beasts.
Of all the people present, probably only Fu Chen had no knowledge of horn pigs, let alone any experience in this area.
In a word, whether Fu Chen wins or loses depends 100% on luck, which is why he doesn't care about the order of selection.
In the first two gambling battles, it was obvious that Fu Chen had bad luck and did not choose the one with stronger fighting ability.
In the third game, after each selected a fighting beast, the gambling battle with Jiang Mingcong began.
This time, Fu Chen was lucky.
The selected horned pig had strong fighting ability, and after a fight, he finally won the last gambling battle for himself.
The beast fighting and gambling games are all over, and it's time to fulfill the promise.
Fu Chen lost two and won one.
We need to do one thing for Ji Ziqian and Xuanyuan Chengfeng respectively.
At the same time, you can ask Jiang Mingcong to do something for you.
Of course, the premise must be something within your ability in daily life.
Moreover, you cannot refuse the transfer, you must do it yourself.
There was no need to worry about exposing himself anyway, Fu Chen was willing to accept defeat simply.
He asked Ji Ziqian directly: "Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"
Ji Ziqian put on a show, frowned and muttered:
"Hmm~~~This competition is just for fun. For the moment, I don't have much idea. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Let him blow a pipe for Prince Ji!"
"With Beauty Fu's appearance, why not let her put on red makeup and dance to a song?"
"It's inappropriate to bully someone too much! It's better to ask Mrs. Fu to pour the wine!"
"How about asking him to drive for you?"...
There was an endless stream of various suggestions, most of which were ideas for entertainment and recreation by the nobles and nobles.
Some of them are obviously playful and contemptuous. You don’t need to look at them to tell that they were born into wealth and splendor, but have become dissolute.
The Grand Master sitting in the front seat made a more kind suggestion, but it was just a formality and it was harmless.
At this time, Jiang Mingcong suggested: "Junior Brother Ji, when I entered the palace, I saw that your attendants had two fragrant foxes.
How about letting Fu Meiren slaughter the fox and cook the meat, so that we can enjoy some delicious food?"
"So good!"
"This is interesting!"
This proposal was approved by most people, and the allure of the so-called "Fragrant Fox" is evident.
When Ji Ziqian saw this, he asked his attendants to bring the so-called fragrant fox to the banquet.
During this period, everyone returned to their respective places for the time being and continued to discuss some cultivation situations and issues with each other.
Of course, many people are also talking about how rare the fragrant fox is, how delicious it is, etc.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ji Ziqian's two attendants returned to the middle of the banquet from outside the school grounds.
They were holding small bags in their hands, and each carried a white fox the size of a goat on their backs.
Ji Ziqian shouted towards the front: "Fu Meiren, please!"
Fu Chen got up and left the banquet and came to the middle of the banquet.
He kept looking at the two snow-white foxes on the ground and remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Mingcong, who was at the table, sarcastically said: "Ms. Fu has not taken action for a long time. Could it be that she wants to regret it?"
Seeing this, Princess Chixiao came to Fu Chen and asked in a low voice: "Fu Chen, what's the problem?"
Fu Chen showed a relaxed smile to Chi Xiao, looked at everyone and said loudly.
"Everyone, as I said before, what you have to do must be within your ability.
But the biggest animal I have ever killed in my life is the rat at home. I have never even killed chickens.
I have no problem cooking and roasting meat, but when it comes to skinning and slaughtering, I am beyond my ability. I really can’t do it!”
Fu Chen looked at Ji Ziqian and asked, "Well, why don't you let your attendants help butcher and divide the meat, and I will be responsible for the barbecue?"
Ji Ziqian and Jiang Mingcong exchanged a look, nodded in agreement: "I have no objection."
Then, Ji Ziqian's attendants stepped forward consciously and began to slaughter the fragrant fox.
When Fu Chen saw how skilled they were, he felt inferior and stopped paying attention.
He turned around and asked Princess Chixiao for barbecue tools and seasonings, mainly iron skewers and stands for skewering meat.
The condiments are ready-made at the banquet, and a stand can be easily set up, but the skewers are difficult to handle.
Fu Chen quickly added: "Wooden or bamboo sticks will do."
Princess Chixiao nodded, and then began to assign the guards to prepare the necessary things as required.
To roast two fragrant foxes, the preparation required will obviously take a certain amount of time.
After all, this is a banquet for exchanges and exchanges between the disciples of the academy. Exchanges and exchanges are the purpose, and the banquet is just a formality.
While Fu Chen was commanding the guards to prepare, the exchange meeting continued.
Except for the Grandmaster level, all other levels will basically go to the ring to compete for a few games.
Nearly half an hour later, it was noon.
Gradually, the rich and tempting aroma of meat floated into the air.
Speaking of barbecue, besides alchemy, Fu Chen's best side job is.
While outside, relatives and friends particularly liked Fu Chen's barbecue skills, especially Xiao Linglong.
Fu Chen smoked and grilled two fragrant foxes whole, and cut the other into skewers and grilled them.
What exudes an alluring aroma at this time is Fu Chen's grilled skewers.
In front of the banquet, Xuanyuan Chengfeng, Princess Chixiao, and even Mr. Ren Tianya couldn't help but look around.
In the end, Chi Xiao, who has a straightforward personality, took the first step.
He came over and asked, "The aroma has attracted the attention of the Five Internal Organs Temple. I can't wait. Fu Chen, when can I taste it?"
Fu Chen directly picked up a few grilled skewers and handed them over with a smile: "Here~, how about you taste it first, princess?"
Chixiao was very particular about eating. He found some chopsticks to take the meat off the wooden skewer and started to taste it in small bites.
After just two bites, I completely forgot about the princess image.
After devouring the meal, he stretched out his hand to Fu Chen and shouted: "I want more!"
Later, Xuanyuan Chengfeng, Jiu Gongzi, Nineteen Princes, including Jiang Mingcong and Ji Ziqian targeted Fu Chen.
These people gathered around Fu Chen, and the barbecue feast started in advance.
Everyone just focused on eating, and no one even remembered to say a few words about "How is the meat of the fragrant fox?"
So many people shared a fragrant fox, and soon only the last few strings were left.
What's rare is that Jiang Mingcong actually spoke up for Fu Chen: "Ms. Fu has worked hard, why don't you taste your own craftsmanship?"
Fu Chen was greatly surprised, looked up at the other person, smiled and nodded: "That's fine, thank you."
After saying that, he took the skewers and stuffed them directly into his mouth.
Fu Chen is not as particular as these people, not to mention that the kebabs have to be eaten this way to be delicious.
"Hmm~ The fragrant fox meat is so fragrant! Prince Jiang, thank you for your idea."
Fu Chen couldn't help but praise him while eating, and didn't realize that he was being noticed by others.
Next to him, Jiang Mingcong, Ji Ziqian, and even the Nineteenth Prince were quietly staring at Fu Chen.
Seeing Fu Chen eating neatly, he didn't hesitate at all.
The three people quickly exchanged glances with each other and nodded in unison.
Among them, the Nineteenth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that everything today was colluded by three people.
It's a pity that Fu Chen, as an "ordinary person", didn't notice it at all.
For Princess Chixiao and others, the Xianghu brand skewers were finished, but there was a whole one next to them.
"Fu Mei's exquisite craftsmanship makes Chengfeng admire her greatly." Xuanyuan Chengfeng couldn't help but admire her.
Then his voice changed and he asked expectantly: "Can the other fragrant fox be eaten?"
