"Butler Cao, I want to see the lord."
Huang Chengyan immediately appeared in front of the city lord's mansion with Mao Sui, and met Cao Zhengchun in front of the mansion.
"Please come in, Mr. Huang. I will go and report to the master right away."
Cao Zhengchun nodded.
Important officials like Huang Chengyan were not stopped, but they were not allowed to pass directly either. At least they had to report first.
After bringing the two in, he asked them to wait in the pavilion for a while, then went to report. Not long after, he returned and said, "Mr. Huang, the lord is having a meal in the backyard. Please come this way."
Then he went into the backyard.
In the backyard, in the garden, in a pavilion, there was a table of delicious food.
This is breakfast, not much.
A big bowl of three-fresh blood porridge, with secret braised beef, stir-fried vegetables, cold cucumber salad, and a few steamed dumplings with three fresh ingredients.
The quantity is small, but the taste is extremely delicious.
Nothing tastes better than dumplings.
Lai He personally made these dumplings, and the stuffing was a secret recipe. It was made with leeks, pork, and freshwater shrimps caught from the Changqing River. It was made with a unique method, using eggs of the colorful golden pheasant from Liu Qu's home and the flour. He personally wrapped them up and put them in a steamer. The water in the big pot was not ordinary water, but soup water.
Chives are leeks planted in spiritual fields. They contain spiritual energy and are almost transforming into spiritual vegetables.
The pork is from wild boars that were killed in the wilderness.
The steamed three-fresh crystal dumplings are truly incomparable. It is definitely a top-notch delicacy. In order to make this delicacy, Lai He started selecting the ingredients and making it an hour ago. The control of the heat requires extreme precision. When to use a low heat or a high heat, there are special requirements, which need to be controlled by people personally.
Such dumplings naturally made Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan look forward to it.
Their appetites had long been spoiled by Lai He. Ordinary food could fill their stomachs but could not bring them spiritual satisfaction.
Especially the gourmet cells, which need a constant supply of new delicacies to fill them.
The body refining realm is on the verge of a breakthrough.
"Greetings, my lord."
Huang Chengyan came to the pavilion and saw Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan sitting together and eating breakfast. A smile appeared in his eyes and he bowed to greet them.
"Mr. Huang, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit down quickly. Lai He just prepared this breakfast, which is quite a large portion. Let's eat together. Also, this person should be the great talent that you just discovered, Mr. Huang."
Yi Tianxing looked at the two of them with a smile. In fact, most of his attention was on Mao Sui.
Although he has an ordinary appearance, his aura can be seen to be extraordinary at a glance.
It was very impressive. To be brought here by Huang Chengyan in the first place, he was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Haha, my lord, I eat this meal with peace of mind. This person is the talent that my lord needs most right now. Do you know who this person is?" Huang Chengyan heard this and found a seat and sat down with a smile on his face.
“Oh, I wonder who this person is…”
Yi Tianxing also felt curious.
"I am Mao Sui, and I'm honored to meet the city lord. I came here to recommend myself."
Mao Sui was not afraid at all. He stepped forward and spoke with his hands clasped.
"Mao Sui, recommend yourself? You are the heir of the Zongheng family."
When Yi Tianxing heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and the information and records of Mao Sui immediately emerged in his mind. This is an outstanding descendant of the Zongheng family. In the Warring States period, he was good at making alliances and stirring up the situation, affecting the general trend of various countries. He is a master of the Zongheng technique, and is most famous for his eloquent tongue.
"It's Mao Sui." The young man nodded.
"Good! Good! Good!! As expected, when good fortune comes, heaven and earth will help. Mr. Mao, please take a seat."
Yi Tianxing heard this and said with a smile.
The descendant of the strategist, such a top talent, is not inferior to any top strategist, and can even play a more powerful role, and can be worth a million troops alone. I didn't expect that such a great talent like Mao Sui would come to recommend himself.
Mao Sui was not polite. The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects had not yet been formally determined. When the two sides met, there was a difference in status, but no difference in identity. There was no difference in etiquette. He immediately found a seat and sat down.
"Come on, let's not talk about anything else, first try the taste of these three-fresh crystal steamed dumplings. This is a delicacy carefully cooked by Lai He. You should eat it while it's hot and as early as possible." Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
If nothing else, fill your stomach first and then think about other things.
brush!!
When the steamer is opened, a rich light suddenly blooms naturally. In the light, it seems that countless beautiful things are flashing, and the ultimate beauty can be seen. It makes people immersed in it and yearn for it.
It seems like I see a long river of crystal.
"It's incredible, so beautiful, it makes people feel like they are in a dream. Palace Master Lai's skills have reached the pinnacle. As expected, any skill in the world, when practiced to the extreme, is close to Taoism."
Huang Chengyan said with admiration.
"Glowing food. I have eaten it once, and it was cooked by a child." Mao Sui suddenly said.
"You've actually seen someone who can make glowing food, and it's still a child." Yi Tianxing couldn't help but show surprise at this moment. To make glowing food, it must be really delicious to a certain level. Ordinary chefs cannot induce this kind of phenomenon.
"That child was very special. Although he was young, he had superb cooking skills. At that time, we were fleeing in the wilderness and there were no good ingredients, but he was able to use simple bamboo shoots to cook a pot of bamboo shoot and wild grass soup. The soup was sweet and delicious. At that time, it helped a large number of refugees survive. Unfortunately, he got separated during the escape."
Mao Sui shook his head and sighed.
"There is such a kid. If that's the case, I must try the food he cooks in person if I get a chance."
Yi Tianxing was very interested when he heard this. The simpler the ingredients, the more it tests a chef's skills. The more it tests his kung fu.
The light gradually dissipated.
Suddenly, a basket of crystal-clear steamed dumplings appeared before my eyes. Each one was like the most perfect work of art in the world, so beautiful that I couldn't bear to pick it up with chopsticks.
Each one is exactly the same size, like a piece of perfect crystal.
A strange aroma naturally emanated from the steamed dumplings and entered my nose.
Yi Tianxing did not hesitate at all. When it came to delicious food, he was the first to do so. As long as it was edible, he would not hesitate at all. No matter how delicious it was, he could only truly appreciate it after eating it.
I picked up a crystal steamed dumpling with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth. I didn't swallow it completely, but took a light bite at one end. Then I took a sip. A stream of delicious soup naturally flowed into my mouth.
Fresh and sweet. A wonderful taste naturally appeared on the taste buds. The whole taste buds seemed to be completely exploded. The taste of the wild boar meat not only had no fishy smell, but also contained an extreme sweetness. Add to that the freshness of the shrimp, and it was a perfect experience.
After drinking the soup, put the steamed dumplings into your mouth little by little. The dumplings have thin skin and rich fillings. When you eat them, your taste buds start to explode.
The gourmet cells all over the body began to vibrate wildly, emitting extreme joy.
Countless vital energies of heaven and earth naturally merged into the flesh, blood, and bones. At every moment, the strength of the body was rapidly increasing.
And the weight is increasing by hundreds of kilograms every second.
The food cauldron is opened, completely swallowing up the essence of the food, refining it again and turning it into the real essence.
During this process, the origin of the food tripod is gradually strengthened and transformed.
No one spoke during the meal.
Eating crystal steamed dumplings, drinking three-fresh blood porridge, and tasting the delicious dishes in front of me. It's not that I don't talk, but during this process, I can no longer think of talking, and I just keep eating the food in front of me. Any extra movement is a blasphemy to the food. An insult.
Before we knew it, all the delicious food on the table had been eaten up.
"Dianzhu Lai's cooking skills make me nostalgic every time I taste them. It is truly an ultimate enjoyment."
Huang Chengyan said with emotion.
"I have a good tongue and can help the city lord eliminate hidden dangers and gain time for development." After finishing his meal, Mao Sui stood up leisurely and bowed to Yi Tian. This was already a gesture of willingness to join his army.
"Okay, what do you need?"
Yi Tianxing nodded and agreed without hesitation. For a strategist like Mao Sui, his tongue is his most powerful weapon.
"No, I just need the city lord to authorize me to make promises to the aliens and kill them first and report later. When fighting with the aliens, any opportunity is fleeting, and I must have the power to make decisions."
Mao Sui requested bluntly.
This can be said to be the right to make promises for Xuanhuang City and the ability to make treaties. If things go wrong, the entire Xuanhuang City will be sold without knowing it. If a treaty that humiliates the country is signed, it will be valid.
This power is indeed huge.
It can even be said that the power of arbitrary decision-making on the spot is comparable to Yi Tianxing's personal presence. Outside, it is equivalent to having the power to decide everything in Xuanhuang City.
Even Huang Chengyan's face changed when he saw this request.
Although Xuanhuang City may not recognize this power, or even a confirmed treaty, what it pays for is its own integrity. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Xuanhuang City will not easily discredit a promise.
Therefore, this kind of power is not ordinary. It is so great that if it is not used properly, it will harm the interests of Xuanhuang City and even the human race.
After hearing this, Yi Tianxing also pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming, and then he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I can give you the power to make decisions on the spot. I hope you won't let me down. As long as you can stir up conflicts among the alien races and make them too busy to take care of other things, when you return in the future, I will welcome you and show my support for you."
