Chapter 1275 - 1275 Bah! Bah!
1275 Bah! Bah!
Chi Yang held his stomach and waved his hand. He looked at Bai Zhou and asked, “Master, how much fish dew and cinnamon did you put in?”
“I…”
Bai Zhou opened his mouth because he didn’t remember!
This time, without Jian Ai saying anything, Chi Yang said, “This dish is not qualified and can’t be eaten at all. Master, you have to make it again!”
“Oh!” Bai Zhou immediately wilted. Not that he was very confident. After all, this was his first time cooking, and Bai Zhou was not very confident.!!
However, he initially thought that it was not delicious at most, but he did not expect it to be inedible.
“Stewed beef brisket with potatoes is too difficult.” At this moment, Jian Ai couldn’t help but give Bai Zhou an idea. “Beef is relatively difficult to cook among meat. If it’s not cooked well, it’ll be as hard as rubber. This is your first time cooking, so can’t you choose a simple recipe? For example, cook a type of cucumber or stir-fry an egg…”
“I’ve already suggested it, but Master won’t listen!” Chi Yang said.
Bai Zhou raised his handsome eyebrows and said disdainfully, “I don’t want to. From my understanding of Xiao Zhen, he must be like this. I have to cook better than him by learning how to make shredded potatoes or stir-fried vegetables. Not only must the taste be better than his, but the dishes also have to be tougher!”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She thought to herself, ‘His skills are so bad. Where did he get such a strong desire to win?’
However, it was understandable. If his opponent was anyone else, it would be fine, but his opponent was Xiao Zhen. Bai Zhou would not admit defeat easily.
It was not the first time the two of them had been fighting. Most of the time, Bai Zhou was the one who suffered. After all, Xiao Zhen was more patient.
“It’s already the twenty-fourth today. There’s still a week left. All the best.” Jian Ai didn’t stop him. Anyway, she wasn’t around on New Year’s Day, so she didn’t have to sacrifice her life to be a judge for two people.
Jian Ai knew that she had escaped today, but on New Year’s Day, there was still Xiao Zhen’s dish to try!
Did she think that Bai Zhou’s cooking was already the worst? No, Xiao Zhen would not lose to anyone in terms of bad cooking!
Because similarly, Xiao Zhen never cooked!
The scene in the mountain villa was almost the same.
Zhi Tong, Irene, and Andrew sat at the dining table and looked at the plate of black things in front of them. They were all dumbfounded.
Xiao Zhen stood at the side expressionlessly and said in an extremely cold tone, “Try it.”
His tone and aura were as if he wanted to silence them if they didn’t eat.
Zhi Tong moved his lips. In the end, he mustered his courage and asked, “Brother Xiao Zhen, didn’t you say that you wanted to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes?”
What the hell was this black lump?
Xiao Zhen was exceptionally calm and said confidently, “This is the scrambled eggs with tomatoes I made!”
Zhi Tong was speechless.
Was this a classic example of bullying the three of them because they were foreigners and because they had never seen scrambled eggs with tomatoes?
Andrew scratched his head. He vaguely remembered that Chi Yang had made this dish called scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Wasn’t it a combination of tomatoes and eggs? The color should be red and yellow, and there should also be a thick gravy. It was especially fragrant when eaten with rice.
Why was this black thing different from what he remembered?
No one was the first to eat. Xiao Zhen urged coldly, “Eat!”
Zhi Tong shivered. He had the illusion that Brother Xiao Zhen had poisoned this dish. Otherwise, why was it so black?!
Just like Bai Zhou’s stewed beef brisket with potatoes, it was impossible to tell which was an egg and which was a tomato!
Irene looked calm on the surface, but she had already gone crazy in her heart. She had accompanied Andrew to help because she was bored. Why did she have to face this moment?
Although she knew that if she didn’t come, she might have to taste Bai Zhou’s dish, Irene felt that Bai Zhou wouldn’t make the dish into a piece of charcoal, right?
After a while, based on the principle that Andrew and Irene were guests, Zhi Tong mustered up his courage and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks. In the next second, he realized that black ash had fallen from the food…
This… should be burnt, right?
He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Zhi Tong closed his eyes and threw the thing into his mouth to take a bite.
In the quiet atmosphere, there was a click…
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes tasted like cumin!
“Bah! Bah!” Zhi Tong couldn’t control himself and quickly spat out the thing in his mouth. He said with tears in his eyes, “No, Brother Xiao Zhen, this is burnt. It’s like eating a mouthful of pot ashes. Other than bitterness, there’s no taste!”
Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and asked in disbelief, “Really?”
Zhi Tong nodded repeatedly. Of course, it was true. Just by looking at the appearance of this dish, one could tell that it was real. It was already so burnt!
Seeing this, Irene and Andrew couldn’t help but look at each other and heave a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, ‘I don’t have to eat anymore. My life is saved!’
In the next second, Xiao Zhen said, “I’ll make another set!”
When everyone heard this, their bodies subconsciously tensed up. Because Irene and Andrew were not from the ancient sect, they immediately looked to Zhi Tong for help.
Seeing this, Zhi Tong braced himself and said to Xiao Zhen, “Ah… Brother Xiao Zhen, why don’t we forget about it?!”
Xiao Zhen paused and blinked at Zhi Tong in confusion.
Zhi Tong explained, “Tomatoes are vegetables with sufficient moisture. Generally speaking, it’s impossible to burn them. You can even burn tomatoes, which means that you’re not suitable to cook. Why don’t you tell Brother Bai Zhou to forget about this competition?”
Zhi Tong initially thought that his words would make Xiao Zhen think for a moment. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen rejected him without thinking. “No, Bai Zhou will lose!”
Zhi Tong: “…”
Where did Brother Xiao Zhen get his confidence from? He could even burn scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but he still swore that others would lose?
Xiao Zhen also explained, “I know Bai Zhou. He can’t beat me with such simple dishes, so the dishes he has to learn are much harder than mine. As for me, I just have to learn to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried meat with chili!”
It had to be said that Xiao Zhen and Bai Zhou’s understanding of each other was quite good. Bai Zhou expected Xiao Zhen to make simple dishes, so he wanted to make even more difficult dishes.
Xiao Zhen had guessed what Bai Zhou had guessed. He knew that Bai Zhou would do something even more difficult, but as long as he could win the competition, he would not do something difficult. The simpler it was, the easier it was not to make mistakes.
Although he had failed the first time, Xiao Zhen felt it was impossible for him not to learn how to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried meat with chili in a week!
This was not the first time Zhi Tong had interacted with Xiao Zhen. He knew he was a very stubborn person in his bones. Hearing his words, he lost the desire to persuade him. He only hoped that the next dish he served would at least let him tell at a glance that it was scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
