School flower's personal master

Chapter 12756

Long Hongxiu's expression softened slightly. She glanced at the Food Saint and sneered, "A simp is a simp; he can't even sit upright."

"Of course, my master's men will criticize me a few times. I understand."

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Who is the "Food Saint"?

One of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Family, a master with a Dharma form of four zhang!
Long Hongxiu is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator; she wouldn't even be qualified to meet the Food Saint, yet she dares to mock him to his face.

Isn't she afraid someone will slap her to death?

The Food Saint's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, but after glancing at Lin Yi's expression, he held back.

Putting everything else aside, the Goddess Academy behind Long Hongxiu alone is not something he can easily provoke.

He doesn't have Lin Yi's strength, nor does he have the guts.

Besides, he was also afraid of ruining Lin Yi's important plans.

In contrast, Long Hongxiu looked completely unconcerned.

She even dared to curse Lin Yi, so why would she care about one of Lin Yi's followers?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the duck lowered its head and ate voraciously, nodding its head little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it had eaten a plate of roast meat clean, even licking the plate until it shone.

Some people couldn't help but complain, "This duck eats meat faster than I do."

Dragon ducks are omnivorous, but you won't find another dragon duck in the entire Longjia Village that loves to eat meat so much.

Long Hongxiu raised her chin, looking down at Gan Niannian who was still fiddling with the compass: "Is there any need to compete?"

Gan Niannian blinked but didn't reply.

Long Hongxiu sneered, raising her voice so that everyone in the room could hear:

"Did everyone see that clearly? This so-called God of Cookery is purely a facade created by Lin Yi! He has no real skills whatsoever!"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Someone whispered a recap: Gan Niannian did indeed rise to power by stepping on the Food Saint's lineage, when the two families were still rivals.

However, now that the Food Saint has become Lin Yi's man, it's hard to say whether there's anything fishy going on.

Conspiracy theories always have the most market.

Long Hongxiu smiled smugly and turned to Lin Yi: "You tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. You even tried to steal my duck, but in the end, your self-constructed God of Food scam was exposed."

"Lord of Tianjun, you've made a huge mistake in this deal. You'd better think about how to cover up your lie."

Lin Yi ignored her and looked at Gan Niannian instead: "How is it?"

Gan Niannian put down the compass, shook her head, and said seriously, "The feng shui is not good. We can't do it now. The directions are inauspicious, and the fire position is conflicting. If we force it, the taste will be affected."

The crowd stirred again.

That reason is ridiculous!

Why would you need to consider feng shui when cooking a dish? It's not like you're building a house.

Long Hongxiu laughed even louder: "You mess up at the last minute, so this is the newly crowned God of Cookery? Heh, you even said the feng shui was bad, why didn't you say today was not auspicious for moving the stove?"

Many people laughed along with him.

Gan Niannian couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

Lin Yi glanced over, and the entire room immediately fell silent. The few people who had just been jeering felt their scalps tingle and were about to kneel down on the spot.

They finally realized that the person in front of them was the Lord of Tianjun.

Even though he never bothers with ordinary people, once angered, slaughtering them all is just a thought away.

This is far more serious than the saying "serving a ruler is like serving a tiger"!

Lin Yi smiled and looked at Gan Niannian: "Then just make something simple to get by."

"Oh."

Gan Niannian nodded and immediately put the dragon duck that had been prepared earlier on the shelf.

The technique couldn't be simpler; not even a lot of seasonings were used—just the most basic salt and a few spices—and it was roasted over and over again.

"That's it? I can do that too."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, but dared not openly cause a ruckus any longer.

Long Hongxiu's face darkened as she pointed at the ducks on the grill: "Let my dragon duck eat dragon duck? You can't beat me, so you resort to disgusting me? What is this, a provocation?"

Amidst the doubts, the roast duck was ready.

Although it lacked her fancy procedures, it was still incredibly fragrant. The oil dripped onto the charcoal fire, sizzling, and the domineering aroma wafted on the wind, causing everyone to involuntarily sniff.

The green ducks nearby couldn't wait any longer; they stretched their necks out and immediately began to flap their wings, ready to pounce.

Long Hongxiu reached out to stop her, but couldn't.

It plunged headfirst into the grill, grabbed a piece of meat and swallowed it whole, refusing to spit it out even as it shook its head from the heat, while simultaneously reaching for a second piece.

He seemed much more enthusiastic about eating Long Hongxiu's barbecue than he had been earlier.

One person remarked with amusement, "It seems to have no sentimentality."

"This isn't about not cherishing old feelings; it's about completely forgetting that old feelings even existed."

Long Hongxiu panicked and rushed forward to try and pull the green duck away:
"Who said that! It's just greedy for novelty! You all don't understand, it was almost dead back then, and I saved it from death by the bite of food! The bond between us can't be compared to a single meal!"

While she was speaking, the duck had already devoured the entire roast duck, even chewing up the bones.

Then he looked up and stared longingly at the plate in front of the three judges.

The longing in his eyes was undisguised.

The three of them quickly picked up their chopsticks, afraid that the duck would eat first.

The God of Cookery took a bite, then stood up and bowed deeply to Gan Niannian: "Your culinary skills have improved again, God of Cookery! Congratulations!"

The old beggar ate with gusto, shaking his head and smacking his lips for a long time with his eyes closed. Finally, he opened his eyes and uttered two words in a low voice: "Absolutely amazing."

He's eaten Gan Niannian's cooking more than once or twice.

He thought that this time, given the hasty preparation, it would likely not be as good as usual, but the taste was quite different from what he expected.

Unbeknownst to many, Gan Niannian's culinary skills have entered a realm that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

This is not as simple as feng shui or fortune telling.

Even Yuan Chu remained silent for a long time, his chopsticks hovering in mid-air. Finally, he sighed and said nothing.

I simply cannot bring myself to denigrate it.

He looked at the roast duck on the plate, then at Gan Niannian, his expression complex.

Someone impatiently asked, "Which one is better? Explain yourself!"

The old beggar wiped his mouth and said seriously, "Miss Long's skills are not bad. She could be considered a master chef in most restaurants in Tianjun. Given time, she may very well become a famous chef."

"But in the end, it is still just the realm of mortals."

He paused, then looked at Gan Niannian: "But this Miss Gan has completely transcended the level of ordinary people. What she makes is not food, but an artistic conception."

"There's no comparison, absolutely no comparison, they're not even in the same league."

The old beggar sighed repeatedly.

Long Hongxiu's face turned ashen, her lips trembling: "I don't believe it! You're all in cahoots!"

She stepped forward, shoved the person blocking her way, grabbed a piece of roasted duck meat from Gan Niannian, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Then it froze.

The taste exploded on the tip of my tongue, like a thunderbolt striking my brain.

She had lived for so many years and had never tasted anything like this before.

It's clearly the simplest method and the simplest seasonings, yet the layers of flavor and the lingering aftertaste are like something dancing in your mouth, blooming layer by layer.

The outer skin is crispy, while the inside is tender.
