The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

In that short second, Jiu Tang thought about many possibilities.

For example, the college's food reserves were too rich, and they had to be stored for too long, causing some of them to rot. For example, it may be that a certain senior brother or sister is dealing with the leftovers from the past few days.

But the moment Li Hu said, "Brother Pu Yuan is ready to cook!" Jiu Tang realized the seriousness of the problem.

Sure enough, my imagination is not rich enough.

Jiu Tang tentatively asked: "This smell? Is it freshly cooked rice?"

Oh my gosh! Is this part of the test? Then she would have to admit defeat.

Baozi nodded heavily, his eyes showing his desire for food.

Li Hu and Baozi both reacted the same way when they saw it.

Jiu Tang was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his eyes twitched twice: "Don't you think there's anything strange about this smell?"

"Huh?" Li Hu scratched his head, "It seems a little strange. However, Brother Pu Yuan has always been responsible for the food in the kitchen, and everyone thinks it is... delicious."

Jiu Tang nodded, thinking that this person's cooking might have a strange smell, but it still tasted good.

Li Hu continued to introduce:

"The ingredients used for cooking are all grown by ourselves in the back hill and yard. Brother Pu Yuan said that the dishes he cooks can fully utilize the nutrients of the food, and can even be beneficial to cultivation!"

"How about we go see Brother Pu Yuan first and see what he did today."

Li Hu introduced the four of them, with Baozi walking in front.

After entering the canteen, several people went straight to the kitchen.

When he arrived at the kitchen door, Baozi knocked gently: "Brother Pu Yuan, I am Li Bao."

Hearing a response from inside, Baozi opened the door.

Jiu Tang quickly held her breath. She felt that her eyes were a little smokey in front of her.

"Hey, I..." Dong Anchen quickly took a step back, breathing heavily.

Dongfang Xiao and Qingwu also had complicated faces.

Li Hu turned around with a worried look on his face: "What's wrong? Brother Dong'an?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I suddenly felt a little dizzy, lacking energy and blood."

Dong Anchen hesitated, and Dongfang Xiao and the other two were too embarrassed to say anything. Jiu Tang half-leaned forward, with curiosity on his face.

Who is it that can produce black smoke when cooking?

In front of the stove, a little fat man was half-bent, humming and adding firewood to the stove. I felt several people coming in and hurriedly wiped the sweat from my forehead with my sleeves.

He straightened up and turned around. There were still three streaks of black and gray on his face, like a tabby cat. Pu Yuan rubbed his hands again, laughed, and the fat on his face trembled:

"Everyone just here? Do you want to eat something first?"

Then he introduced two plates of dishes like a treasure: "This is a new dish that I worked out with great difficulty. You guys came just in time, but you are in for a treat. It has just come out of the pot."

Jiu Tang: ..... Is this my blessing or my sin?

Several people stared at the two plates of burnt and even slightly smoky dishes, speechless for a long time.

The little fat man thought that these people were new here and was embarrassed, so he quickly said: "Don't be shy, everyone, hehe. Now that you have come to our college, we are all a family. You're welcome."

Li Hu tentatively spoke: "Brother Pu Yuan, today's meal doesn't look very good."

Pu Yuan scratched his head: "This is a new dish - stir-fried pork with tomatoes and bracts. It's the first time I've made it. Naturally, my control over the heat is a little bit off. But the taste is not bad at all."

Pu Yuan talked about his dish as confidently as a gorilla, patting his chest with one hand.

Jiu Tang sighed inwardly, maybe it just simply smelled bad and looked ugly, what if it tasted good. You can't live up to someone else's wishes.

Moreover, this person can actually make ordinary ingredients contain spiritual energy, even if there is only a trace, it is rare. After all, spiritual chefs are rare in the fairy world.

Jiu Tang picked up his chopsticks and took a deep breath - If I don't go to hell, who will?

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Jiu Tang swallowed with difficulty.

"How's it going? Sister Ninth."

Jiu Tang thought for a moment, as if reminiscing: "It's delicious."

Dongfang Xiao and Qingwu also took a small bite after hearing what she said.

After that, the two of them were silent for a while, looked at Jiu Tang strangely, and nodded together: "It's delicious."

When Pu Yuan heard what they said, his eyes immediately narrowed with laughter: "I'll just say it~"

"Then I'm welcome." Since several people said so, Dong Anchen naturally had no doubt that he was there - maybe this was the characteristic of his professional cooking. Masters always have their own characteristics.

Dong Anyen quickly picked up the plate and took a big bite.

"Ugh~" Dong Anchen choked on a mouthful of food, looking at several people with tears in his eyes.

Can you still withdraw your thoughts now? Or he was too naive.

Why, you have to deceive him! He knew that just by hearing the weird name of the dish, it wouldn't taste any better. Now he had a big mouthful of food in his mouth. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and his face turned into a pufferfish.

He turned around with a ferocious look on his face. He sniffed and raised his hand to wipe his tears - this was his last stubbornness.

Really sad.

Realizing that she was facing such a severe test when she first entered school, Jiu Tang couldn't accept it.

"Senior Brother Pu Yuan, have you always been responsible for cooking in the academy? No one else can help?"

"There is no one else. There are only a few people in our college, and everyone is usually busy practicing. I am more talented in this area, and I love it very much. Therefore, the dean gave me the responsibility for three meals a day. La."

"Senior brother, are there any daily dishes here?" Jiu Tang seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was a little more expectant.

The dish just now was unpalatable, maybe because of the new research, this... wasn't mastered very well. I can’t tell whether the daily dishes will be barely palatable—Jiu Tang comforted himself.

Pu Yuan scratched his head and waved his hands repeatedly: "I am 17 years old and it feels weird to call me senior brother. Just call me by my name. For daily use, why not try my best, Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."

Pu Yuan trotted open an iron pot on the side first, filled a small bowl of soup, and held it in front of several people.

The four of them were looking forward to his specialty dishes, and the four heads gathered together.

Um....that's hard to comment on.

The turbid soup is a bit like washing pot water. Below are brown-yellow particles, with some vegetable leaves floating on them. Perhaps due to psychological effects, a few people even felt that the leaves smelled rotten.

Jiutang was the first to speak: "Brother Pu Yuan, what is this pearl?"

"The leftover rice grains from yesterday."

"What about Emerald?"

"Green vegetable bangzi."

"Where's Bai Yu?"

"Tofu. The one that comes in pieces."

"Second brother, if you ask me, why don't you try it first?"

As soon as Dong Anchen gritted his teeth, he didn't believe it, it could taste worse than before.

He picked it up and took a small sip: "Pfft——"
