Chapter 30: The Leader of Gourmet Food (Please collect! Please read!)
"Hahaha."

The old lady was so flattered by Gao Feixue's praise that she immediately smiled and waved her hands, saying modestly:

"I don't dare to claim to be the best in the world. I learned this cooking skill from Xiao Langjun. The reason why the distinguished guest thinks it's delicious is all thanks to the herbal marinade that Xiao Langjun researched. He is ten times better than me in terms of cooking skills."

“That’s the real number one in the world!”

"he?"

Hearing the old lady say this, Gao Feixue was stunned, and the pale-faced and thin Zhou Qingshan came to his mind.

This image has nothing to do with a chef.

Moreover, cooking was a menial job and nobles usually looked down upon it.

Gao Feixue did not exaggerate the old lady's cooking skills, but really believed that the old lady's level was good enough to be the head chef of the City Lord's Mansion!

After all, in this highly praised restaurant in the outer city of Black Cloud City, to be honest, apart from fine wine and delicious spiritual fish and spiritual food, everything else is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of this roasted pork!
And what about that herbal marinade?
You have to know that in just these two days, Gao Feixue can guarantee that if this herbal marinade is sold, it will definitely be crazily sought after by all the nobles!
This enticing aroma alone can whet one's appetite, so it should have been famous a long time ago.

But this thing has never been heard of in the inner city of Black Cloud City or the 37th Street in the outer city.

Scarcity makes things valuable. No matter how low the production is, there will always be nobles willing to satisfy their appetites.

Even willing to spend a lot of money to buy it!
The Lord of the Spirit Realm could even make a fortune with the help of this herbal marinade and accumulate a lot of resources, but she had been here for two days and saw that there were only ten warriors in the escort team, and there was only one warrior at the blood coagulation level? ! !
The lord of the spiritual realm was actually forced to this point by a mere alien beast that had not yet reached its rank?

You should know that the other spiritual realm masters all have strong soldiers and horses under their command, and their guards are basically all at the blood coagulation level. It is not uncommon to see warriors entering the country. It is too easy to cultivate warriors with the special resources produced by a spiritual realm.

Gao Feixue only felt that Sheng Fengling was very simple, and his mental outlook was only slightly better.

In this situation at home, why not sell the herbal marinade?
Zhou Qingshan obviously didn't look like a fool. As a spiritual realm lord, he would definitely notice the business opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gao Feixue suddenly asked curiously:
"Grandma, I've never heard of this herbal marinade. It must be very precious, right?"

“It’s not particularly precious.”

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "There is always meat in the courtyard during festivals. However, the young master has specifically instructed that this herbal marinade can only be used in the Zhou family courtyard and cannot be seen outside."

"Even ordinary distinguished guests who stay here overnight have never tasted such delicious food."

"A specific order?" Gao Feixue was a little confused.

The old lady took the roasted whole pig off the grill and placed it on a large wooden table. She cut it into small pieces while recalling:

"It should be eight years ago, when the young master had just taken charge. Before that, this herbal pickle was not banned, and the farmers in the territory could occasionally try it. The young master said that he wanted to share the joy with the people..."

"He was in charge eight years ago?"

Gao Feixue was very surprised when he heard this: "I see that young man has a handsome face and no beard. He looks to be in his twenties. How old was he eight years ago?"

"Sister, I know this. I was just born when my brother was in charge."

At this time, a clear and pleasant child's voice came from the side.

Gao Feixue turned around and looked.

The girl was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was tied into two cute pigtails with two pink ribbons, her eyes were bright as stars, and she had an innocent smile on her face, looking at her curiously.

"What a cute little sister, who are you?" Gao Feixue couldn't help but ask.

"My name is Zhou Xuefei, and I'm my brother's favorite little sister." Zhou Xuefei blinked her big eyes and answered in a crisp voice.

"When my brother was eight years old, our father died of illness, and he took on the burden of the family. He is a greater man than my eldest brother." Zhou Xuefei said, with admiration for Zhou Qingshan in her eyes.

"He's in charge at the age of eight?!"

Gao Feixue suddenly lost his composure.

Children mature early in this world. An eight-year-old child can indeed help with housework at home, but... can he manage a spiritual realm at the age of eight? Can he handle all matters, big or small? Are you kidding?
What was she doing when she was eight? She was playing in the mud with the girl next door...

Seeing that her elder sister looked like she had never seen the world, Zhou Xuefei smiled softly and said:

"What's so strange about that? My brother is a child prodigy! He's naturally intelligent, knows everything, and can do everything! He can cook so many delicious foods..." After all, a brother who can always come up with new tricks to make people happy and is respected by everyone in the yard, isn't he omnipotent in Zhou Xuefei's eyes?
Zhou Xuefei turned to look at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, how long will it take for the lotus leaf meat and beggar's chicken to be ready?"

"Miss Fifth, just wait another quarter of an hour and it will be enough." The old lady glanced at the pile of charcoal fire on the stove and replied.

Zhou Xuefei nodded, then pulled up Gao Feixue who was still in a daze, and walked towards the charcoal fire:

"Big sister, come here, Xuefei will treat you to delicious food."

"Uh..." Gao Feixue was pulled by Zhou Xuefei to squat beside the charcoal fire with four other children.

"What else can be delicious in here?" She looked at the gray charcoal pile and wondered deeply.

Zhou Xuefei smiled mysteriously:
“A surprise guaranteed.”

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The other four children used wooden sticks to dig up the charcoal fire, revealing a few black objects wrapped in mud.

After being baked over charcoal for a long time, the layers of soil and lotus leaves have become hard and crispy.

Several people skillfully dug up the surface of the soil.

As the outer layer of soil was gradually peeled off, a stream of hot steam rose up, carrying the fragrance of soil and the aroma of chicken.
"Big sister, you try it first. If you and sister Yanqiu hadn't come back to get rid of that strange beast, we wouldn't be able to eat something so delicious."

Zhou Xuefei handed over a whole fragrant beggar's chicken, her eyes full of anticipation.

Gao Feixue took the beggar's chicken, touched it with her fingertips, and gently tore open the lotus leaf. She could see that the skin of the chicken was golden yellow, slightly oily, tender and juicy.

Suddenly, a rich aroma of chicken hit my nose, steaming and intertwined with the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Gao Feixue couldn't bear it any longer and took a bite.

The chicken has been slow-roasted at a low temperature for a long time, and the meat has become extremely tender, almost melting in your mouth with just a sip.

Every bite makes you indulge in the deliciousness of chicken and the freshness of lotus leaves.

Gao Feixue had never tasted such delicious food before, and he finished the beggar's chicken in no time.

"How many delicious foods do you have here?"

"Our Shengfeng Territory has a nickname called 'The Territory of Gourmet Food', how many dishes are there?"

Zhou Xuefei answered proudly, and then she pointed at the table and began to introduce tonight's menu as if she was listing all the treasures:

"Tonight is a whole pig banquet. There will be roasted whole pig, braised pork, braised pig ears, and sweet and sour pork..."

"What about this thing called flower chicken and lotus leaf meat?" Gao Feixue asked.

Zhou Xuefei said, "I asked grandma to make these beggar chicken and lotus leaf meat for us kids. The adults can't have them."

Whenever there was a banquet at home, she would always ask her grandmother to help her prepare a few servings of beggar's chicken and lotus leaf meat over the charcoal fire.

For this reason, she keeps a tank of lotus leaves in the house every year as a backup.

"What? There's nothing like this at the party tonight?"

Hearing this, Gao Feixue stared at the black lumps of mud on the ground, saliva flowing unconsciously from her mouth. She suddenly raised her head and said righteously:

"No, I want to sit at the kids' table!"
