Chapter 173 Trivial Skills

The official presiding over the event was Xue Gongwen, the Minister of Rites.

There were three judges, including the idle prince living in the capital, Prince Yi, the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Rites Kong Zheng, and the Prime Minister Yang Zongqing. The lineup was quite large.

Although these three adults were far away from the kitchen, they probably ate less delicacies from the mountains and seas than the emperor, and their tastes were very picky. There was nothing wrong with them tasting the dishes.

All three of them were willing to join in the fun, but this fun was not as easy as imagined. After all, the finals would be held in front of the emperor. If the chefs they selected did not perform well in front of the emperor, they would also be embarrassed.

Besides, this cooking competition was not as simple as His Majesty wanted to taste some delicious food. Food is the first necessity of the people. This competition was also to show the stability and prosperity of Daxia to the people.

The chefs whose names were called came on stage one by one and walked to their own stoves.

Huang Feng's name was called in the middle, seemingly hidden among the crowd, but as soon as he came on stage, he attracted everyone's attention like a bright moon in the fireflies.

Several adults on the stage were also communicating in a low voice.

Prince Yi said with a smile: "This person doesn't look like a cook. Huang Feng, I seem to have heard of him somewhere."

Kong Zheng thought carefully: "It does sound familiar."

Yang Zongqing on the side reminded with a smile: "The case of Manxianglou, have you two forgotten it?"

Kong Zheng tapped his forehead and said suddenly: "Oh, Lord Pan and Lord Lu mentioned it, it turned out to be him. If I remember correctly, he seems to have a deep friendship with His Highness Changning, but how can he be a cook?"

"Join in the fun?"

"How will we judge him then?"

"First see how good he is. If he is really capable, we will naturally judge him fairly. If he is not satisfactory, let him pass one or two rounds and leave decently. If he is too bad, then there is nothing we can do."

"After all, he has passed the preliminary review, so it shouldn't be too bad."

"Then let's look forward to it."

The three of them decided the matter in just a few words.

When Huang Feng came to the stove, Lu Kun said curiously by the window of the restaurant: "I wonder what Brother Huang is going to cook for the first dish."

Xiao Nuan scratched his head: "I remember Mr. Huang said it was called 'Lie Bing Xian Tai Shan'?"

"What a weird name." Lu Kun was full of expectations.

Huang Feng stood in front of the stove and looked around, and found that these chefs were more or less nervous, but he was different, he was confident.

"Masters, the competition time is one hour, start now!"

With Xue Gongwen's order, the competition officially began.

Other chefs took out kitchen utensils and ingredients and got busy, but Huang Feng was different, standing there without moving.

"Why doesn't Mr. Huang move?" Xiao Nuan asked in confusion.

Li Motang snorted: "He did it on purpose."

Sure enough, his actions, which were different from all the other chefs, attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone guessed what he wanted to do.

At this time, Huang Feng opened his hands and cast a spell on the empty table.

Condensing Qi into ice, if it is only half the size of a person, is not a difficult task for a cultivator. Almost in an instant, a small iceberg appeared on Huang Feng's table.

The onlookers exclaimed in admiration.

The three adults above looked at each other, and Kong Zheng asked Xue Gongwen: "Is this in accordance with the rules?"

Xue Gongwen hurriedly said: "Master Kong, there is indeed no rule in the rules of this competition that cultivators cannot participate."

At this time, Huang Feng had taken out the bream, and sliced ​​it directly with spiritual energy without using a knife, and thin slices of fish fell on the iceberg.

The low temperature of the ice can enhance the taste of the real bream, and the spiritual energy can completely lock the deliciousness of the fish slices.

Even the spiritual energy poured into the iceberg, making the entire iceberg emit a cool light.

With the help of a special horseradish dipping sauce, Huang Feng completed this luminous dish, the fierce ice fresh bream mountain, in less than a moment.

Seeing him holding the iceberg with his spiritual energy, leaving the stove and walking towards the three adults, the onlookers had not yet come to their senses. Is it done?

It's done now? !

Looking at the crowd below who stretched their necks and tried to look, the person in the dark asked in a low voice: "Can we do it now?"

The person beside him hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, let me take another look."

The person asking the question was a little speechless. Is this the time to be attracted by delicious food? There is something important to do now!

He just looked down at the iceberg and became curious. He thought to himself: "Forget it, it's just the beginning anyway, so it doesn't matter for a while."

"Three adults, this dish is called 'Liexianxian Snapper Mountain'. Just pick up the fish fillet and dip it in some sauce. Please taste it." Huang Feng didn't waste any words and held the iceberg in front of the three people.

Prince Yi was very surprised: "It's... done now?"

"Raw?" Yang Zongqing frowned slightly.

Huang Feng smiled and said, "I dare not tease you three adults. Participating in this competition is not a joke. Please feel free to eat."

Prince Yi nodded. He had no intention of fighting for power and was most interested in the world's delicacies. Now that Huang Feng said so, he naturally had no reason to refuse. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of red sea bream sashimi, dipped it in sauce and put it in his mouth.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he wanted to maintain his dignity, but as soon as he took the fish fillet into his mouth, he couldn't help but let out a low moan: "Hmm~~~"

The cold fish fillet seemed to come alive, so delicious that it made people tremble, and then the spiciness of the sauce, which had never been encountered before, rushed straight to the nose and the top of the head.

That's not all, a stream of spiritual energy flowed into the body of the fish fillet and spread outward.

Prince Yi felt that his clothes were suddenly opened, as if he had turned into a fish, jumping high out of the water and heading towards the sky.

This refreshing feeling actually made him feel a little happy.

Not only the people below, but also the two adults beside him, Xue Gongwen, the Minister of Rites, and even Li Motang and others upstairs, as well as those lurking in the dark, were all stunned.

Prince Yi came back to his senses, realized his own loss of composure, and quickly straightened his collar: "This... this dish..."

Huang Feng smiled: "Lie Bingxian Tai Shan, a trifle, not worth mentioning, as long as you like it."

Seeing Prince Yi's admiration, Kong Zheng and Yang Zongqing couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks.

Although they had made sufficient mental preparations, they still made exclamations like Prince Yi, and their collars burst open.

Upstairs, Xiao Nuan couldn't help swallowing her saliva and whispered: "Miss, I want to eat it too, I... I don't want to eat it in front of Mr. Huang, I'll go back to my room to eat."

"I... I want it too!" Li Yixuan had already leaned out of the window halfway, constantly wiping away the saliva from the corners of her mouth. Judging from her posture, it seemed that she wanted to jump down directly to taste it.

"Don't eat it." Li Motang snorted. In her opinion, the means of opening the collar with spiritual energy was completely unnecessary and was done intentionally by Huang Feng.

This guy is... a complete pervert!

"Woo." Xiao Nuan's eyes were full of desire.

"Woo." Li Yixuan secretly swore in her heart that she must have a taste.

Below, the three adults were still not satisfied. They looked at the pieces of fish on the iceberg. They wanted to eat more, but they were afraid of losing their composure. They were tortured by unprecedented entanglement.

A group of busy chefs saw their expressions and were a little panicked. Wouldn't it be over before it even started?

At this time, the person in the dark finally couldn't hold back, and remembered the business, and ordered: "Get started."

After saying that, he added: "Be smart for a while, and see if you can take the iceberg away in the chaos."

-_-||, I originally wanted to skip half a chapter about cooking, but I accidentally wrote too much. The next chapter will be late in the next few days, don't wait.
