Chapter 9 Is This Woman Sick? Why Does She Keep Looking at Me?
"Ding, congratulations to the host for persisting for a month, three meals a day plus a hidden task midnight snack, the self-discipline task is completed."
"Ding: Reward the host with the innate magical power [Retracing the Heavenly Fragrance]. This magical power can trace back the cooking methods of most dishes, analyze and replace the deficiencies, and detect whether they are poisonous."
"Eating is the best comfort, only food and love cannot be let down."
"The next self-discipline task will be started at irregular intervals."
Li Dan, who was cleaning up the dishes, finally heard the voice of the system again after a month.
The next moment, he felt warm all over his body, and something inexplicable entered his consciousness and quickly merged, as if it was born with him.
Innate magical power, retracing the Heavenly Fragrance.
Especially after hearing the explanation of the system, he almost jumped up with excitement.
The mysterious talent that he had been looking forward to for a month did not disappoint him.
In the previous life, watching movies and TV shows, many people went out to eat and were knocked out, and woke up naked and made into human meat buns.
Some were poisoned and wiped their necks when they were ridiculed.
This innate magical power is simply amazing. At least my future life is greatly guaranteed. More importantly, I can trace back other people's cooking methods and add another one to my menu.
For example, tomorrow's new dish competition is a good time to steal the master's skills.
"Look how happy Xiaowu is!" Master's wife Xia Wanrong gently pulled Tian Zhen's clothes and said.
Tian Zhen, who was picking her teeth, looked at Li Dan who was washing dishes and shook her head with a smile.
"How can I not be happy? Tomorrow is the competition day. Lu Shiyao will show up. I guess he is fantasizing about the handsome look of the girl watching him cook."
"I think that girl has no taste. Our Dan Dan has literary talent and good looks. And this food, look at you, you have a double chin, and you two!" Xia Wanrong pointed at Chen Hai and Ling Feng who were touching their bellies.
The two looked embarrassed.
Nearly 20 days of trial dishes, four meals a day, no meal is repeated, and all of them are new dishes, extremely delicious, how can we not get fat.
This is to help the junior apprentice brother and sacrifice himself.
Hiccup~~
"You will be a judge tomorrow, you know what to do," Xia Wanrong said to Tian Zhen again.
Tian Zhen smiled bitterly: "What are you thinking, although I will vote for Xiaowu, but we must also pay attention to fairness and justice. After all, there are thousands of people participating. Let's go, let Xiaowu have a good rest, recuperate and prepare for tomorrow."
Tian Zhen stood up, originally wanting to say some encouraging words to Li Dan, but felt that it was not necessary at all.
He believed in his little apprentice!
Xia Wanrong looked at Li Dan's busy back and chose to leave quietly.
She had more important things to do.
For a while, only three brothers were left in the kitchen.
Seeing that the master and the mistress walked away, the two looked at each other and then approached Li Dan.
"Xiaowu, it is said that people who eat people are soft-hearted and people who take people are short-handed. This is a gift from me and your third brother to you. Two top-grade Qingling pills can help you break through the realm and restore your mental strength!"
Ling Feng took out a sheep-fat jade bottle and handed it over.
Li Dan, who had just finished washing the dishes, was stunned and hurriedly refused.
He knew that the Qingling Pill was one level higher than the Xisui Pill, which could help his cultivation and mental strength grow at the same time. The power contained in it was extremely pure.
And it was a fourth-grade pill.
"It's okay, take it, the wool comes from the sheep," Chen Hai took the jade bottle and forced it into Li Dan's hand.
"Ah?" Li Dan didn't understand.
Ling Feng stepped on Chen Hai's foot and hurriedly explained: "That's nothing, this Qingling Pill has no side effects. You haven't rested well these days. You can take one tonight. Well, we'll leave first, and cheer you up tomorrow!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, after some encouragement, he pulled Chen Hai and hurriedly walked down the mountain.
But Chen Hai was right, the wool did come from the sheep.
In the past twenty days, Yingluo Peak sent many gifts. After strict screening, they kept some miscellaneous gifts that were useful to the two of them, and took the rest to Danhua Peak. They also took out some of their own private collections and asked the Danhua Peak alchemist to spend seven days to refine these two Qingling Pills.
This kind of pill is also very useful to them, but it is more useful to Li Dan.
This is the blessing of the senior brother!
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving in the dark night, Li Dan tightly held the jade bottle.
There was a warm feeling in his heart.
"This is the feeling of home-"
After packing up, Li Dan also went down the mountain to his residence halfway up the mountain. After washing up, he took out the Qingling Pill and the five remaining Guyuan Pills from the last time and began to swallow them...
…………
The day of the competition finally came, and the peaks swarmed to Huozao Peak.
At the top of Huozao Peak, there is a spacious square built with red volcanic rocks.
There is a natural earth fire blessing here, and on it, thousands of small stoves have been arranged, neatly arranged, extremely spectacular.
Around the square, people from the eighteen peaks of Tianya Haige, wearing different clothes, were talking and talking. The noise was so loud that it dispersed the clouds in the sky, revealing the blue sky.
The sun was shining and the weather was perfect!
On the other side of the square, there was a slightly high platform with many people sitting on it. The view was just right to overlook the entire square, with an excellent view.
Each person had a table and a set of bowls and chopsticks on top.
At the top were five great elders who rarely asked about worldly affairs.
In the middle were the eighteen peak masters.
At the bottom are ten direct disciples from each peak. Some direct disciples were not invited, such as Taihua Peak, mainly for the sake of fairness.
Just choose ten representatives.
Just in line with the tastes of the older generation, middle-aged and younger generations.
And above their heads, there was a light curtain condensed by Yuanli, with the quotas for the competition densely written on it.
With everything pending, the peak leader of the Huozhaofang, Bao Yuntian with a greasy face, walked out.
A powerful pressure suddenly silenced the noisy voice completely.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Thank you for your active participation in the unprecedented reform of our stove house. Today, I, the host, will be in charge of everything. I won't say any more nonsense. After three introductions, I'm waiting to taste the food. But I’ve been keeping my belly since last night.”
After Bao Yuntian finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. It's not easy for you to be so fat and you haven't eaten since yesterday.
Fortunately, your son Bao Youwei is not as fat as you.
"Okay, let's leave it like that. Some of the five Supreme Elders know it, and some don't. They don't want to introduce too much. They just come to taste the food. As for the eighteen peak masters, if you still want me to Once introduced, you are too embarrassed, and the younger generation is the same, so please enter the competition!"
It's really a simple and clear opening statement, but everyone is happy because it saves trouble.
As the four secret doors in the square opened, everyone came in bustlingly.
Many people screamed and cheered for their friends from afar.
Lu Shiyao, who was on the judging panel, was looking for Li Dan in the crowd.
Soon, I saw that familiar figure.
She didn't know why, but she smiled inexplicably when she saw Li Dan after twenty days.
Li Dan was walking, sighing that this was the first time he had ever participated in such a grand event, and it was so crowded.
He looked at the judges' seat and wondered if he should say something: "Hello fellow judges, my name is Li Dan, nickname is Dandan. My family is very difficult. My mother told me since I was a child that the children of poor people have already become the masters of the family. , I came to this stage for my dream..."
Then, with runny nose and tears, he saw a gaze staring at him with a vague look.
Li Dan looked at her and saw that she looked pretty and looked familiar.
Why is she still looking at me? Am I wearing the wrong clothes today? Something on your face?
Still watching?
You must be sick.
Li Dan felt baffled.
Actually don't blame him.
His memory of Lu Shiyao still existed. He had just woken up in a daze and didn't understand the situation. After a quick glance, the system issued a self-discipline task.
Then he launched an attack towards Yingluo Peak in full swing.
After completing the task, retreat gracefully.
I haven't seen Lu Shiyao for ninety-nine days, and then I cooked for another month on the mountain top of my home. I didn't take anything to heart at all, so how could I remember it.
Besides, she changed her clothes and hairstyle again.
Bao Youwei in the crowd first glanced at his father, and then looked at Lu Shiyao.
The moment she smiled, Bao Youwei felt that she was smiling at him, and he quickly reached out to say hello.
"Xiao Wu, come on, Xiao Wu, come on, you are the strongest!" Chen Hai and Chen Hai shouted heartily while sitting in the audience.
They are full of confidence in Li Dan.
Xia Wanrong stood up and nodded to all the Taihua Peak inner disciples behind her who came to cheer.
Suddenly, everyone stood up.
"Li Dan, Li Dan, unique!"
"Too beautiful, too beautiful, create brilliance forever!"
Li Dan staggered as he was walking towards his stove.
The other peak people looked at this scene in disbelief.
Tian Zhen on the judges' stage even covered his face with one hand.
My wife, you are too high-profile.
I'm so ashamed.
Following the sudden cheerleading, many people also noticed Li Dan and immediately cheered.
"Junior Brother Li, come on, you are the best!"
"Brother Dan, don't worry. My third senior brother is also a fan of your love words. He will be the judge today. We all agreed yesterday, wuwu~~ don't cover my mouth..."
"Sisters, look, Junior Brother Li Dan has indeed come to participate. I haven't seen him for a month. You can see he has lost weight."
"I heard that he was researching new dishes every night. It was really hard on him. Fortunately, he didn't lose his hair."
"If Junior Sister Lu is still indifferent this time, I will tie her to Li Dan's bed."
"Hehe, you shouldn't send yourself there too."
"Hate--"
…………
Li Dan looked at the cheerleading team formed by the teacher's wife on the field, and quickly covered his face and walked towards the stove where his number was.
The ingredients for cooking have already been prepared there.
As the numbers were in place, Li Dan noticed that diagonally across from him, there was a person staring at him with an unkind look on his face, almost giving him the middle finger.
This man is so strange, why is his nose so red?
It was probably a thorn in the head and was punched by someone.
With your provocative attitude, I would also want to beat you up.
Li Dan ignored it and checked the dishes on the chopping board first. It was reliable.
These dishes all come from the back mountain of Huozao Peak and are watered with spiritual rain. They are very good.
Bao Youwei sniffed and saw that Li Dan didn't care about him at all, so he snorted and turned around.
Just wait and make some shit again when you have the guts.
As everything became quiet again, Bao Yuntian, the leader of Huozao Peak, checked that there was no shortage of people, and then waved his hand.
"Then, let's begin!"
