I'm in the world of Xianjian

The next morning, Lin Shen and his group and Han Mengci arrived at the competition site.

There are a total of 6 simple stoves, and then a high platform with a table on it, on which are placed 6 featherless chickens, some vegetables and meat, and even some medicinal herbs for food supplements.

On the stove are a chopping board, a kitchen knife, a frying pan, a steamer, and under the stove is firewood.

Lin Shen took a quick look, confirming that no one had tampered with the items. He then patiently waited for the other contestants and judges to arrive.

After waiting for half an hour, the other contestants and villagers arrived.

Lin Shen took a quick look and found that one group was the butchers in the village, another group was the clerks of Luo's rice shop, and the remaining two groups were fishermen and hunters.

Then three judges came over, one was the village elder Grandpa Zhang, one was Han Yixian, and the other was Mr. Luo.

Lin Shen thought: It seems that Mr. Luo wants to use this competition to restore some of his reputation. Let’s see how he plays this time.

Han Yixian walked to the front of the stage and said, “Today is the day of the village’s triennial chicken dish competition.

(Pointing to the table with the ingredients) Each group of contestants can choose any of the ingredients on the table.

The cooking time is until noon. Without further ado, the competition begins!

Lin Shen said to Lin Yueru, "Yueru, boil some water. I'll be right back."

After saying that, Lin Shen used his razor to teleport to the front of the table, took a chicken, cabbage, salt, cooking wine, onion, ginger, garlic and some wolfberries, and then teleported back to his stove.

Li Xiaoyao also ran to the stage and took out some medicinal herbs such as angelica and Polygonum multiflorum in addition to the chicken.

People from other groups also took away all the ingredients on the table.

After returning, Lin Shen complained, "The preparations for this competition are really interesting. They killed the chickens but didn't even pluck their feathers."

Lin Yueru said, "Anos, the hot water is ready. What are you going to do?"

Lin Shen poured hot water directly on the chicken. Zhao Linger asked in confusion, "Brother Anos, what are you doing?"

Lin Shen said, "It will be easier to pluck the hair after pouring hot water on it."

So Lin Shen began to pluck the chicken. After plucking all the feathers, he began to open the belly and take out the internal organs, while also taking out a piece of chicken breast.

After watching Lin Shen's steps yesterday, Lin Yueru consciously began to peel the cabbage. After peeling a few layers, she took out the tenderer leaves and pierced the leaves with a long needle.

Zhao Linger put the gutted chicken into the soup pot, then remembered Lin Shen's steps yesterday and added salt, green onion, ginger and cooking wine. However, Lin Shen didn't add wolfberry yesterday, so she asked about it, and Lin Shen nodded.

Zhao Linger added the wolfberries and began to cook the soup. Lin Shen was also busy chopping the chicken breast.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Xiaoyao watched Lin Shen remove the feathers and guts of the chicken, following his example. Anu cut the herbs into slices and then separated them.

The hunter team plucked the chickens, removed the internal organs, skewered them, and roasted them over the fire.

After Luo's team plucked the chicken and removed the internal organs, they began to steam the glutinous rice.

After the butchers complete the preliminary work, they melt the lard, chop the chicken into pieces, and stew it in the lard. The fishermen chop the chicken into pieces and stir-fry it with scallions, ginger, and garlic.

In an instant, flames from all the stoves shot up into the sky, and the entire competition venue was filled with the aroma of various chicken dishes.

Seeing that the chicken soup was ready, Zhao Linger gave it to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen added the chopped chicken into the soup bowl, stirred it for a while, and waited for the chicken to slowly settle.

Then filter the chicken soup with gauze until it becomes transparent.

Lin Shen put the chicken soup and cabbage leaves in a soup bowl, put it into the steamer, and started steaming it over high heat.

On the other side, Han Mengci put the chicken pieces and medicinal herbs into the casserole and boiled them. Luo's guys stuffed the cooked rice into the chicken's stomach and stewed it in the pot. Several other groups also started the finishing work.

At noon, with the sound of a gong, all six groups of contestants stopped what they were doing.

Han Yixian said, "The preparation time is over. Now, each group will present their prepared dishes and receive comments."

The fishermen team served their stir-fried chicken first, and the three judges ate without comment. The butchers team served their stewed chicken, and the three judges also said nothing.

Lin Shen was puzzled, thinking: What's wrong with these judges? After two dishes, they didn't react at all. Did they not like either dish, or were they just not very expressive?

The hunter team served their homemade roast chicken, but the three judges still had no reaction.

Mr. Luo served the glutinous rice chicken. The three judges first took a bite of the chicken, and then ate a few mouthfuls of the glutinous rice in the chicken's stomach. Mr. Luo looked very satisfied, but Grandpa Zhang and Han Yixian had a bit of subtle expressions.

After that, Han Mengci and the other two prepared the medicinal chicken soup. After taking a sip, all three expressed their satisfaction.

The last dish was made by Lin Shen and the other two. They were all stunned when they saw it and asked, "Young man, is this the chicken dish you made?"

Lin Shen nodded.

Mr. Luo said, "No matter how you look at it, it looks like cabbage boiled in boiling water."

Lin Shen said, "You will understand after you taste the soup."

Grandpa Zhang said, "Young man, what is the name of your soup?"

"To answer your uncle's question, boiled cabbage."

Han Yixian said, "This name is quite interesting."

So Han Yixian took a sip first, and then he stopped talking and stared blankly at the bowl of soup in his hand.

Grandpa Zhang and Mr. Luo called out "Han Yixian" twice, but Han Yixian did not respond.

The two of them also picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. After finishing the drink, they did not move.

After a while, the three of them recovered. Then Han Yixian said, "The results of this competition require some discussion. Please wait for a moment."

So the three of them began to discuss in a low voice.

Lin Shen and the other two returned to the stove, and the onlookers nearby began to discuss.

"Why are we discussing this again?"

"It's just a bowl of cabbage soup, what's the big deal?"

"It seems like there's something else about the soup they made, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

"Who do you think will win?"

"I think it's Miss Han's group."

"I think that bowl of cabbage soup is interesting."

At this time, Luo walked up to Lin Shen and said, "Why, it feels like there's no hope."

"The winner this time is our Luo family."

Lin Yueru was about to fight with the gang, but was stopped by Lin Shen.

Luo the clerk continued to taunt, saying, "What, are you going to fight? If you have the guts, try to move me."

Lin Shen laughed contemptuously, then used his domineering aura to intimidate the waiters. The waiters suddenly felt an imperial aura and were so scared that they took several steps back.

The guys didn't dare to look at Lin Shen's majestic eyes and turned away.

At this time, Anu came over with the remaining medicinal soup and said, "Sister Ling'er, Brother Anos, Sister Yueru, please try the chicken soup made by Sister Han."

Lin Shen and the other two took a sip of the chicken soup brought by Anu. In return, Zhao Linger also gave Anu some boiled cabbage made by Lin Shen, and asked Anu to take it back and drink it.

After Anu brought the soup back, Li Xiaoyao muttered, "I want to see what Anos is up to this time."

Li Xiaoyao, Anu, and Han Mengci also drank a few mouthfuls of soup. After finishing, the three of them were also stunned.

At this time, the audience watching the show said

"Hey, the cabbage soup made by those three people must be enchanted. Whoever drinks it will be speechless."

"Does this taste good or not?"

After a while, Han Yixian, Grandpa Zhang, and Mr. Luo walked to the front of the stage. Han Yixian took a step forward and said, "Everyone, after careful discussion among the three of us, today's winner is..."

The hearts of all the audience and contestants except Lin Shen were in their throats, and Anu even swallowed his saliva.

Han Yixian pointed at Lin Shen and said, "Anos Group!"

Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru cheered. Lin Shen looked at their happy faces and thought: How great it would be if they could always be this happy.

Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru saw that Lin Shen was very calm and said, "Anos, why don't you show off a little bit."

Lin Shen said, "Put your hands up."

The two didn't understand what it meant, but they did as they were told. Lin Shen clapped his hands lightly on theirs and shouted, "Oh, yeah!"

The two didn't understand what it meant, and Lin Shen said, "This is a way for us to celebrate."

Lin Shen stretched out his hands, and the two of them understood and patted Lin Shen's hands.

At this time, Han Yixian said, "Please invite the Anos team to come on stage to receive the award."

Lin Shen brought Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru to the stage. The three of them stood side by side.

Han Yixian came over with a box and said, "Anos, this is your prize."

Lin Shen took the box and opened it to take a look. It was a black mass. Lin Yueru said, "Han Yixian, what is this?"

Han Yixian said, "This is something I accidentally obtained while traveling a few years ago. It is called poisonous dragon gall."

Lin Shen immediately used his skills to identify it and confirmed that this was the Miaojiang secret treasure, the poisonous dragon gall, which could cure all strange poisons in the world.

After Lin Shen closed the box, he said, "Thank you, Dr. Han." Thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

That night, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and Anu came to the room to look for Lin Shen, but Lin Shen was nowhere to be seen.

On the table lies a box of poisonous gentian, and beneath it lies a note: "The mountains remain green, the waters flow on, and we shall meet again." Enter Anos.

Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos is gone after all."

Lin Yueru said with some resentment, "At least...at least say goodbye to us."

Anu said, "Brother Anos is like this. This time it's okay. He left in a hurry before, but at least he left a note this time."

Zhao Linger saw the box containing the poisonous gentian and said, "He didn't take the box away."

Lin Yueru said, "Sister Ling'er, please hold it for him." So Zhao Ling'er put the box away.
