Chapter 1508 - 1403: Qin Hao Can Cook?
As the door opened, everyone was stunned, but saw a pale-faced man appear at the entrance, none other than Qin Hao.
At this moment, Qin Hao looked disheveled, his face pale with bloodshot eyes, but his gaze was particularly indifferent.
"Junior Brother Qin?" Ma Jiajia was the first to speak, tentatively calling out.
"It’s me." Qin Hao’s appearance made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Junior Brother Qin, you finally came out, but what’s going on with you?"
Feng Ziyun immediately asked.
"Practicing skills." Qin Hao wiped his hand, which was filled with Spiritual Qi, across his face, and the dirty face was immediately clean.
"Uh, practicing skills to become like this?" Everyone was speechless; the messy appearance could be overlooked, but such a cold demeanor from this Junior Brother Qin was quite frightening!
"Junior Brother Qin, your expression is so indifferent!" Ma Jiajia softly said.
"Uh... is this better?" Qin Hao showed a smile, and the atmosphere changed instantly.
"Much better!" Wu Xiang quickly said, walking over and putting his arm around Qin Hao’s shoulder, "Hey bro, how’s the progress in your cultivation?"
Actually, it was a casual question. After all, cultivation is not easy and requires countless years of accumulation. What could possibly be achieved in three days?
However, Qin Hao answered earnestly, "Quite a lot of progress."
Everyone didn’t take it seriously, but they echoed, "Progress is good."
Only Chu Mo coldly said, "He’s boasting, and you’re egging him on. I think you’re losing your minds more and more!"
Everyone stopped talking and ignored Chu Mo.
Everyone knew that Chu Mo was jealous, holding a grudge, full of resentment with bad consequences if engaged.
Ma Jiajia simply didn’t want to bother, feeling Second Senior Brother was really annoying.
Qin Hao naturally wouldn’t pay attention to Chu Mo and asked everyone, "What are all the senior brothers and sisters doing here?"
"Haha, we were just worried about the little junior brother not coming out for days and nights, so we came to check on you..." Feng Ziyun said with a smile.
"Thank you all for your care!" Qin Hao cupped his hands in salute to everyone, his expression grateful. "No need, no need..." Wang Lianhua laughed as she walked over, "The little junior brother must be hungry? Let Senior Sister cook you a meal?"
"Senior Sister can cook?" Qin Hao was somewhat puzzled. Isn’t she an immortal, untouched by mortal life, yet she knows how to cook?
"Of course, Senior Sister was once a palace chef in the mortal world!" Ma Jiajia said proudly.
"Palace chef? Can women also do that?" Qin Hao was somewhat confused.
"Of course, that’s what makes Senior Sister Wang impressive!"
Ma Jiajia continued.
"Junior Brother, would you like to taste my palace chef skills?" Wang Lianhua asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Qin Hao smiled, "I will trouble Senior Sister Wang!"
"Let’s go to the Pentagonal Pavilion!" Everyone returned to the Pentagonal Pavilion. The others rested and chatted, while Wang Lianhua took out pots and pans, starting a fire on the spot, surprisingly cooking there.
She took out ingredients from the Void Storage Ring, including fish, meat, reds, and greens.
Piece by piece, the ingredients went into the pot, as Wang Lianhua skillfully wielded the spatula and stir-fried.
Indeed, while everything changes, the core remains the same.
The cooking in this world was roughly similar to that on Earth.
Soon, the ingredients sizzled. The steaming hot aroma wafted, fresh and delicious, enticing everyone to sniff deeply.
Even Ma Jiajia licked her lips, fearing her drool would fall, "Senior Sister’s skills are still so amazing!"
Wang Lianhua smiled slightly, taking out the dish, plating it, and a colorful dish was completed.
"This dish is called ’Hundred Flowers Blooming,’ made from dozens of ingredients, with a unique taste. It was the Emperor’s favorite dish in the mortal world!" Wang Lianhua explained with a smile.
Everyone was surprised and amazed upon hearing this.
"The Emperor’s favorite dish? How fortunate!"
"Such a vibrant dish, it’s making my mouth water!"
"Truly worthy of Senior Sister!"
Amid the discussion, Qin Hao nodded quietly.
The cuisine in this world did not belong to any country on Earth, possessing its unique style and charm.
This ’Hundred Flowers Blooming’ dish had a chaotic mix of ingredients: pork, beef, fish, radish, broccoli, cauliflower, white radish, and so on.
Each represented different colors, mixed together, the colors were indeed attention-catching.
But the taste...
Qin Hao didn’t hold much expectation.
Considering so many flavors, it’d be surprising if it tasted good.
"Please eat, Junior Brother." At this time, Wang Lianhua smiled and said.
"Thank you." Qin Hao didn’t hesitate, picking up chopsticks and grabbing a few pieces of food.
Surprisingly, without heavy seasonings, without fierce stir-frying, the taste was quite superior, comparable to the chefs of the top hotels in Shanghai.
"Junior Brother, how’s the taste?" Ma Jiajia asked eagerly, as if she had cooked the dish herself.
"Delicious!" Qin Hao honestly gave a thumbs up.
Everyone smiled contentedly, Wang Lianhua said, "Let’s eat!"
Thus, everyone picked up chopsticks, and they all started to grab at the food eagerly.
It seemed that the brothers and sisters often ate like this; their eager eating manner was quite authentic.
Even the proud Chu Mo couldn’t help but pick up chopsticks and continually put food in his mouth.
Everyone ate heartily, and the conversation topics expanded.
Mostly about delicacies from different regions.
The people here came from various areas, having tasted many gourmet foods, they shared their favorites.
"The vegetarian dish from Chaonan Temple, it truly is a unique wonder of the world, more delicious than meat!"
"Jin City’s braised donkey meat is more impressive, can you imagine I ate a whole donkey by myself?"
People chatted happily, with Qin Hao frequently smiling, watching from the side.
Ma Jiajia couldn’t help but ask, "And you, Junior Brother Qin? What delicious food have you eaten?"
"A lot, I’ve eaten from all over the place." Qin Hao casually replied.
"And the best you’ve eaten?" Ma Jiajia asked again.
"There are many that are best, uncountable."
"Eat so much? That’s enviable, so where did you eat them?"
"I made them myself." Qin Hao said blandly.
This statement left everyone surprised.
"You made them yourself?"
"Junior Brother, you can cook?"
"Really couldn’t tell, just that you could cook, you’ve outdone all the senior brothers!"
This last line was said by Ma Jiajia, in a joking manner.
Qin Hao smiled modestly, while Chu Mo’s face turned stern: "She’s taking your bragging seriously; how ridiculous."
"Hehe..." Ma Jiajia didn’t care.
Chu Mo got angrier, snorting coldly, "I even claim to make immortal cuisine! Qin Hao, if you’re a man, cook a dish for me right now, otherwise, you’re not a man!"
