Chapter 6 First Meeting with King Wucheng

Qi Yuan looked at Huang Feihu in front of him, feeling quite excited.

This King Wucheng would later be named the Great Emperor of Dongyue Taishan. Not only was he in charge of good and bad luck in the world, he was also in charge of the eighteen levels of hell in the netherworld, and he had great authority.

Ever since he set up the flag of being the best kitchen in the world in the south of the city and boasted about Haikou, people came to compete with him in cooking every day, hoping to win bets. Therefore, there were many people watching, and his reputation was very high.

Word spread quickly.

And this is exactly the result he wants to see.

This is not the first time we have encountered such rogue rogues causing trouble as we did today.

However, there were few people in the first two times, and he cleverly attracted the crowd to drive them away. This time, the other party gathered a few ruffians and came to cause trouble again. They made some random food and said they were better than him, and still wanted to blackmail him.

money.

Man said that he didn't have ten taels of gold, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to give it to him.

The reason why he deliberately spread the news that he would give ten taels of gold to someone who won was not only to spread the word, but also because he was confident that no one could beat him in cooking.

Unexpectedly, he met Wucheng King Huang Feihu when he was arguing with the gangsters. Qi Yuan's heart suddenly moved. If Huang Feihu could use Huang Feihu's mouth to promote him, wouldn't his reputation be spread faster?

So when Huang Feihu asked questions, he not only told the story honestly, but also said to Huang Feihu: "These people are really scoundrels. Since they are still entangled, I sincerely ask King Wu Cheng to make the decision.

Let's have another competition and ask King Wu Cheng to taste it himself and tell us who has the better cooking skills."

"Okay, let's have another competition, and let me see how capable you, the best in the world, are." Huang Feihu nodded and agreed to let the two sides compete again.

Several rogues looked at each other.

They had been messing around just because they wanted to extort some property, but they never thought that they would provoke King Wu Cheng, and they immediately regretted it.

They wanted to leave, but King Wu Cheng didn't say anything. They didn't have the guts to sneak away, so they could only hold on here.

Now that Qi Yuan proposed another contest, they certainly knew it. Although they had no intention of competing, seeing the guards behind King Wucheng all staring at them eagerly, they had no choice but to agree.

Qi Yuan handled the ingredients quickly with Huang Feihu in front of him. He was not willing to miss the opportunity to show his face like this, so he took out his best ingredients and planned to show off his skills and let these bumpkin know what good food is.

The ingredients and various utensils he had here were all left behind by people who had lost them to him these days. Without a pot, many dishes could not be made, so today he planned to make a stewed meat dish. This dish is relatively different from the current one.

There are some tricks to cooking utensils.

The conditions were very simple. Not to mention iron pots, he didn't even have bronze utensils such as tripods, woks, retorts, etc. Those were things only the nobles could use.

Although the seasonings are incomplete and the ingredients are limited, Qi Yuan also believes that what he makes is definitely the most delicious food of this era.

He first took out a piece of pork belly, washed it and cut it into cubes. This was one of the trophies he won during the cooking competition. In this era, it was common to raise livestock and poultry in captivity, so it was not difficult to obtain some meat.

Due to the limited conditions, Qi Yuan stopped pursuing perfection. He boiled water in an earthen pot, boiled the cut pork belly for a while to remove the blood, sliced ​​bamboo shoots, and put some lard in a small jar.

Heat it up, add minced ginger, minced garlic, Chinese prickly ash, spicy polygonum, and stir-fry until fragrant. Put the bamboo shoots and pork into the pot in turn, add salt, wild honey, add the stock you made before, cover it, and put it in the pot.

On a simple earth stove built with only a few stones.

On the other hand, unlike Qi Yuan, who moved quickly and smoothly with the ingredients, those gangsters were a little hurried and chopped some vegetables and meat randomly with a knife a few times, then put them into the earthen pot and added some salt.

Put it on the fire and cook it for a while.

Qi Yuan looked at their actions and smiled disdainfully.

Huang Feihu glared at the rogues fiercely. He didn't need to taste it. Just looking at the current performance of both parties, he could now judge that these rogues were destined to lose.

When the heat was up, Qi Yuan took the jar off the fire, put it on the table, opened the lid and invited Huang Feihu to taste it.

When the lid is opened, a strong fragrance comes out.

Everyone watching around sniffed. They had never smelled such a fragrant smell, which made everyone poke their heads in and wanted to stick their heads into the jar.

"Um?"

After Huang Feihu smelled the aroma, he couldn't help but be startled.

To be honest, he originally thought that no matter how good Qi Yuan's cooking skills were, he wouldn't be able to impress him.

However, when the jar in front of him was opened, the fragrance was truly the best he had ever smelled in his life. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his saliva would have almost flowed out.

After swallowing, Huang Feihu, at Qi Yuan's invitation, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of the mouth-watering pot braised meat into his mouth.

The rich aroma of meat filled his mouth, and the fat but not greasy feeling fully stimulated his taste buds. This made Huang Feihu's eyes light up, and he swallowed it involuntarily without even chewing a few times.

I couldn't help but pick up another piece.

The onlookers felt as if the gluttons in their stomachs were being aroused, and they all swallowed their saliva as Huang Feihu ate.

When Huang Feihu came to his senses, he realized that he had eaten most of the meat in the small jar in front of him.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hands with some embarrassment, Huang Feihu raised his head and looked at Qi Yuan: "My husband is indeed a superb cook. I have never tasted such delicious food. The reputation of being the best in the world is indeed well-deserved."

"Thank you very much, King Wu Cheng, for your compliment."

Qi Yuan accepted Huang Feihu's compliments without any humility, and then said: "Although I look down on those scoundrels, in order to be fair, King Wu Cheng should try their craftsmanship!"

Huang Feihu nodded and looked at the gangsters: "Well, why don't you bring the things up quickly?"

The gangsters looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, they had no choice but to take the jar and put it in front of Huang Feihu.

Huang Feihu reached out and opened the lid. Suddenly, a strange smell hit his face. When he took a closer look, he saw that there were too many ingredients in the jar, including a few pieces of meat that were not cooked and were still coming out.

Stained with blood, it is simply two extremes from the oily, sweet and excellent-looking canned braised pork that Qi Yuan made just now. There is no desire to taste it.

"Snapped!"

Huang Feihu slammed the table, stood up and said angrily: "This is the delicacy that you defeated this old gentleman. You are so brave, how dare you fool me!"

Several rogues shivered in fear, their legs became weak, and they fell to their knees with a thud.

One of them timidly said: "King Wu Cheng, please spare your life. Little Lard has lost his mind. He was deceived by Wu Er, so he followed him to take advantage of him, no matter how small it is!"

"you……"

Wu Er, who was identified, was furious: "Shameless person, I didn't give you less when I shared money in the past. I didn't expect you to be such an unloyal villain."

"Huh, he's still a habitual offender."

Huang Feihu snorted coldly and waved his hand for the guards behind him to take it down. He turned to look at Qi Yuan and said sincerely: "Sir, I admire you for your great talent. I wonder if you would be willing to follow me back home. With your ability, I admire you."

, I will definitely not treat you badly, sir."
