Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The halberd that required two imperial guards to carry was as light as a feather in Yao Jun's hand. It even made phantoms appear and whirring sounds when he swung it.

After practicing a set of halberd techniques casually and inserting the halberd into the soil with one hand, Yao Jun raised his eyebrows at Chen Wenjuan and smiled, "Want to learn?"

Chen Wenjuan said sincerely: "I want to!"

Yao Jun called his attendants to support him and said, "After the meeting, you can go out. I will send someone to go back with you, and then bring your family to find me. After the affairs of Chen Kingdom are settled, come back to Yao Kingdom with me."

Chen Wenjuan knelt down with a plop, unable to restrain herself, and shouted, "I am willing to die for you, sir!"

In this world, loyalty is not only valued among men, but also among women.

Women like Chen Wenjuan, although they are as good as men at farm work, do not receive much attention in some aspects.

After all, who would want to marry a wife who is stronger than themselves?

Now Yao Jun values ​​her abilities and is willing to take her family back to Yao Country. What an honor it is!

Yao Jun gave a few more instructions, then let Chen Wenjuan go. He also returned to his seat with the help of his attendants.

Although Queen Meng felt a little reluctant, she still congratulated him and said, "Congratulations, my dear brother, for getting such a talented person."

Yao Jun picked up the wine jar and said with a satisfied smile, "I was just worrying about finding a bodyguard for Xixi, and now he has been delivered to my door."

"It is a great honor for me to meet Xixi and Wenjuan in Chen State. I would also like to thank Lord Chen and the Queen."

"Please, I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

Yao Jun held the wine jar, gestured to the queen, and then drank the wine.

Although Queen Meng was unhappy, she picked up the wine jar on the table out of courtesy, took a sip and put it down. She glanced at the noble lady on the right inconspicuously, and then waited for the next person to show his/her wine.

Chen country turned this blind date into a talent show. Although no one knew whose idea it was, Yao Jun felt that this guy was definitely a talent!

He drank a little wine and chatted casually with Queen Meng and the noble lady in front of him, occasionally commenting on the guest performing on stage, oh, it was his blind date.

Soon it was Chen Xi's turn. The talent she was going to demonstrate seemed simple, but it was not simple at all: it was cooking.

When the petite figure in phoenix robe appeared in the meeting room with eight cooks, all the ladies present sat up straight, looking at the two people at the top intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Xi first bowed upwards, and then ordered the cook to place the dishes in the food boxes on each table.

Due to limited time, Chen Xi didn't have time to cook those big dishes. He simply boiled a pot of chicken soup. Although the boiling time was not enough, he had to make do with it.

"I am demonstrating my cooking skills. The dish I made is a stir-fried vegetable dish. Please enjoy it."

This dish of stir-fried vegetables is the same as the ones sold in the breakfast shop before, but the ingredients are much better than when the breakfast shop was opened, after all, they are going to be delivered to the palace.

The amount of food given to each table was not large, just a few green vegetables and white soup. Because they were served right out of the pot, they were still slightly hot.

Some of the ladies were a little disgusted at first because there were only a few vegetables, but when they saw that Young Master had finished them in just a few bites and was still hungry, they curiously picked up a vegetable and put it in their mouths.

In an instant, a delicious taste she had never experienced before exploded in her mouth.

"Why do the vegetables taste like gravy!" a lady asked in disbelief.

Chen Xi replied: "I added broth to thicken it, which is the white soup."

"What is dashi?"

Chen Xi pursed her lips and didn't answer. This was a secret. Even with the rise of modern short videos, many chefs were sharing their cooking secrets.

But every chef has his own secret to making the soup, which may seem similar, but are actually very different.

For example, Chen Xidiao’s soup contains not only a whole chicken, but also pork, beef, mutton and fish, and the ingredients are carefully selected, as well as the order and time of adding and the amount.

These are Chen Xi's secrets, so naturally they cannot be easily told to others.

Some people thought that the meal was over after they finished eating the food, but when they heard Chen Xi say that the white soup at the bottom of the bowl was called broth, they picked up a wooden spoon and scooped a little into their mouths.

When stir-frying vegetables, the focus is on the original flavor and texture of the ingredients, and the soup is extremely fresh and has a complex meaty flavor.

"It's so delicious! How did you make it?" a lady shouted after tasting the soup.

Queen Meng had long heard rumors about the breakfast shops in the city, but she thought they were just rumors. No matter how delicious the food was, it could never compare to the food in the palace.

However, the reality slapped her in the face. This kind of taste could not be made by a chef!

He turned his head to glance at Yao Jun. No wonder he fell in love with this inconspicuous Chen Xi. He must have been conquered by this delicious food.

The stir-fried vegetables were delicious, but in Yao Jun's opinion they were just average. After all, he had eaten the delicious dishes cooked by Chen Xi, and those were truly delicious!

After taking a sip of wine to clear his mouth, Yao Jun leaned back on the chair and waved to Chen Xi, motioning her to come over.

When arriving at the palace, Yao Jun had already told Chen Xi why he wanted to bring her into the palace, so she knew that this was in response to the king's request and to give him face.

So no matter whether I participate in the exhibition or not, Yao Jun will still choose me, but the process may not be smooth, just like now.

After eating the vegetables, Madam Qingyue rinsed her mouth with water, then picked up the silk cloth on the table and wiped her lips. She said, "What a surprise! There are rumors that Chen Xi has received guidance from ghosts and gods. I originally thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it may not be false."

Another noble lady took over the conversation and said, "Delicious food like this may not be from this world."

The ladies present spoke one after another, all praising the delicious food, and at the same time praising Chen Xi more and more, making him more and more valuable.

The more Chen Xi listened, the more frightened she became. Although she didn't know why these noble ladies were praising her so much, Madam Qingyue was still the first to speak.

But Chen Xi still knows that the higher you are praised, the harder you will fall.

Although the cooking techniques she used were groundbreaking, they were not worthy of being so popular. One of them even had a grudge against her!

What on earth do they want to do?

Chen Xi walked slowly to Yao Jun and knelt down. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Yao Jun say calmly, "It really tastes good. With a cook like this, I can eat a few more bites of rice every day."

Queen Meng heard this and said with a smile, "My dear brother, have you forgotten the purpose of this blind date?"

Yao Jun: "How could I forget? My cousin ordered me to come here."

"It's just that I haven't seen a woman I like yet. Although Xixi and Wenjuan are both good, they are just good."

Madam Qingyue suddenly said, "Since this is a blind date, it is used to select a wife. Although Master Jun keeps saying that Chen Xi and Wen Juan are just good, there is no guarantee that he will not marry one of them in the future."

"Although they are regarded as pearls in my Chen country, they are from the Chen family after all. We can't let them be taken away without any clear reason."

"I guess Young Master is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others, right?"

"Haha." With a light laugh, Yao Jun leaned over to look at Madam Qingyue and asked calmly, "What do you think, Madam Qingyue?"

Madam Qingyue said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It's not a great opinion, I'm just standing up for my daughter."

"Since Master Jun doesn't want to marry them, don't waste their good lives. They are not young anymore."

Yao Jun turned to look at Queen Meng and asked without changing his expression, "Does the Queen mean the same thing?"
