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

The scene was silent for a second. Dong Anchen raised his head and looked at Fatty. He felt that Fatty was a little sad and depressed at the side.

Did he hurt Xiaopang's heart...

But... there is nothing we can do. This soup has a very strange smell like pot water, the tofu is a bit sour and a bit bitter, and the rice grains are gritty. It’s really hard to rate.

Dong Anchen thought in his heart: If he hadn't said this was for me to eat, I would have thought it was pig swill.

"Hey." Pu Yuan sighed. He brought a mop and cleaned up the floor, and Dong Anyen quickly took it.

Jiu Tang had a look of understanding on her face and was secretly glad that she didn't take the risk just now.

Pu Yuan smiled awkwardly and stood there not knowing what to do. He could only scratch the back of his head with his hands covered in stove dust.

"Actually, I also know that the appearance and taste of my cooking are a bit poor. However, there are only dozens of students in our college, and everyone is usually busy training, so the dean can only leave the cooking work to me. Yes. I have been studying it for a long time, but I just can’t do it well."

"Have the dean ever eaten the food you cooked?" Jiu Tang asked. The dean probably didn't have the courage.

"That's not true. But the dean didn't even taste it. Just by smelling it, he knew that I was doing very well and was very talented. He also said that if I continue to work hard, I will definitely reach a higher level and become a super Chef.”

When Xiaopang talked about the dean, his face was full of hope.

Jiu Tang sighed. She knew that it was strange that the old dean could eat it, so he would lie to children here.

"Otherwise, I'll do it with you for the next two days. You do it, and I'll see how you do it."

Jiu Tang held back the last part of his sentence and didn't say - Let me see how you made it taste so bad.

"Yes!" Dongfang Xiao said quickly, "Sister Ninth's cooking is delicious."

"Really?" Xiaopang looked surprised, "Great! Come on, come on. Sister, you should call me sister, right?"

Jiu Tang nodded, after all, Xiaopang was one year older than her.

"I'll take you to the back to pick out the food, and you will be my master from now on."

Xiaopang led Jiu Tang into the room in the back kitchen. There were three rooms in total, none of which were very big. There were various ingredients piled in different categories. There are two large windows above the room, which provide excellent ventilation, but there is still a strange smell in the room.

"Master, if you see what you are good at here, you can do it."

Jiu Tang casually pressed it on one of the bags, and brown-green liquid slowly seeped out of the bag, making it sticky on Jiu Tang's hand.

Jiu Tang was shocked: Why is this chef still hiding poison?

He quickly gathered his water spirit power and washed away the dirt on his hands.

"Pu Yuan, what's going on?" The vegetables are almost rotten, why don't you throw them away?

Pu Yuan scratched his head: "Well, I thought it would be too wasteful to just throw it away. You can still eat it if you pick and choose. After all, even if a small part is a little bad, pick it out and throw it away, and the rest can still be eaten."

"Then what's going on?" Jiu Tang pointed to a large bowl of rice covered under a fence. The rice grains looked dry and not fresh at all.

"This is what was left over from yesterday. It's just used to make Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."

"What about this one?" Jiu Tang glanced at the tofu on the shelf nearby. It exuded a sour smell, and some had a slight green glow.

Pu Yuan scratched his head: "I wanted to make molded tofu, but it didn't seem to be successful. So I used it to make soup."

Jiu Tang sighed. The bowl of soup that poor Dong An Chen drank probably meant that the water was fresh.

She now knew why the rice had a strange sour taste. Even gods can't cook meals made with such ingredients.

...

Jiu Tang walked further inside and saw that on the shelves, some of the vegetables were almost spoiled, some were wilted, and some were very fresh and still had dewdrops on them.

That shouldn't be the case, Jiu Tang muttered to himself.

She had just observed that Pu Yuan had cooked more than a dozen kinds of dishes, but the raw materials for each dish were basically not fresh. But here, although half of the ingredients are stale, most of the dishes are fresh.

So why aren’t any fresh ingredients used?

Jiu Tang thought so and asked.

"Because I don't want to waste it. The vegetables here can be roughly divided into three types - those that are about to spoil, those that are not fresh, and those that have just been picked." Pu Yuan explained,

"Although there are freshly picked vegetables here, if I don't use the vegetables that are about to go bad this time, they will really go bad, so I will use the vegetables that are about to go bad when cooking today. It's okay to pick and choose. Can be eaten.

But tomorrow, those that are stale will become spoiled soon, so... I can only cook with those that are spoiled. So when I cook, I never use fresh vegetables..."

When Pu Yuan said this, his tone was low and a little sad.

Jiu Tang looked in disbelief when she heard this, and Pu Yuan's thoughts shocked her.

After a long time, Jiu Tang finally found his voice: "Since I said I would do well with you, can you just listen to me now?"

Pu Yuan nodded, it should be.

"Second brother! Come in!" Jiu Tang raised his voice.

Dong'an Chen came in like a storm, followed by several people.

Jiu Tang ordered: "Now, go and throw away everything here, as long as it is not fresh."

"Okay!" Dong Anchen was delighted. He had eaten the dish just now, and the ingredients used were almost spoiled. Now that he had the chance to throw it away, he quickly did it, fearing that the little fat man would regret it.

"Eh..." Pu Yuan raised his hand as if he wanted to stop him. Thinking of what he had just said, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, deciding to listen to Jiu Tang's words. I also went to throw vegetables with Dong Anyen.

After seeing several people go to work, Li Hu came over to talk to Jiutang.

Li Hu explained from the side: "Actually, we have tentatively said this before, but he is very stubborn. Even if it is just a little bit of food, he will not waste it if he can.

Brother Pu Yuan is the first student since the dean founded the academy, but he doesn't like to practice and has no talent in this area. I just like to cook, and meals made with ordinary fruits and vegetables contain spiritual power. Although they are not very delicious, they are also helpful to our cultivation. The dean just let him go. After all, he was very happy and had a sense of accomplishment when cooking - happiness is the most important thing for people.

As for the reason why he keeps cooking with things that are about to break, it is said that Brother Pu Yuan was picked up by the dean when he was fleeing from famine. At that time, all he could think about was that his parents kept calling him Xiao Yuan, so he just went with it. The dean's last name is Pu Yuan.

He said that when he was a child, there was a severe drought in the third-class country. He was carried by his parents to escape. They gave him whatever food they begged for, but they starved to death...

Therefore, everyone felt that it was understandable that he was reluctant to throw away food, so they never mentioned it to him officially. "

Jiu Tang originally thought that he was simply stingy, but he didn't expect that there were so many stories behind him, and he was confused for a moment.

Li Hu saw it and smiled: "It doesn't matter. It's been so long. Brother Pu Yuan should have let go. In fact, he also knows that it's not good to be like this all the time. It's just because no one of us said it and he pretended to It’s just silly. What’s more, if we can help Brother Pu Yuan prepare the meal, he should be happier - after all, it is his always wish to be recognized by everyone. "

Jiu Tang was silent for a moment, so that was it.

Secretly decided to help Xiaopang more during this time, ah no, it's Pu Yuan.

"Brother! We've packed up!" Dong'an shouted - finally we can eat fresh food.
