Chapter 404 Visit
A spirit boat landed on flat ground.
The Imperial Preceptor, Crown Prince, Second Prince, Third Prince, Second Princess, Seventh Princess, and a host of ministers of the Celestial Master Dynasty descended from above.
A large group of people followed behind.
The princes were dressed in fine clothes, and the princesses were radiant; their entire being exuded the prosperity of the Celestial Master Dynasty's royal family.
Even the palace maids' clothes were very pleasing to the eye.
The Crown Prince stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Sect Leader Cangxuan, I'm afraid I'll be troubling you these next few days."
The princes behind him also clasped their hands in a fist salute.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan smiled, but his aura was imposing without being angry. "What are you saying? Ever since I became the sect leader, I have taken a liking to you talented young talents."
Upon hearing this, the princes couldn't help but become a little proud.
To be praised by the sect leader of Xuanyuan Sect is indeed something to be proud of!
The prince smiled and said, "Sect Leader, you flatter us. We still have much to learn from our fellow disciples in the Xuanyuan Sect."
The surrounding area is filled with abundant spiritual energy, a place of outstanding natural beauty, where countless rays of light shine.
The princes immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of this place upon their arrival.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of the Xuanyuan Sect, one of the three great sects in the world."
The seventh princess looked around curiously.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan stepped aside and said with a smile, "Let's go, welcome."
The crown prince returned the greeting with his hands clasped in a fist salute.
The group of people were talking as they walked down the street.
"I've met the leader."
"Hello, Master."
"Hello, Master!"
"Sect Leader..."
The passing disciple exuded righteousness and imposing presence, his steps hurried, carrying a spirit sword and... a steamed bun.
Officials and princes of the Celestial Master Dynasty couldn't help but glance at it again and again.
It really is a steamed bun.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan simply smiled and offered no explanation.
......
A banquet to forge a bond between the sect and the royal family began here.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan sat at the head of the table, with the princes and officials of the Celestial Master Dynasty, led by the Crown Prince and the Imperial Preceptor, sitting on his left. The elders and martial uncles of the Xuanyuan Sect sat opposite him.
Conversation filled the hall.
A moment later, several palace maids and guards from the Celestial Master Dynasty entered in order and presented all the boxes of national treasures.
There were as many as five thousand boxes of glittering gold ingots alone.
Rows of palace maids filed in and out, their figures weaving and intertwining, creating a dazzling spectacle.
This is an unwritten tacit understanding between the various sects and the royal family.
Royal families of various countries possess vast empires and immense wealth, like rolling sand. Although their wealth is astronomical, it is easily coveted by powerful figures.
There was once a royal family that was wiped out overnight, the national treasury was emptied, the country was instantly thrown into turmoil, the people were displaced, and ministers and kings of different surnames fought each other to the death for the throne. The turmoil was only brought to an end when the local clans intervened.
From then on, royal families of various dynasties would rather spend half of the national treasury's wealth to buy a few life-saving artifacts.
The palace maids continued to enter the hall.
......
In the kitchen.
Yun Ci was in charge of cooking, with Da Zong, Er Zong, and Xiao Hong assisting him.
The kitchen, which was built last night on the main peak, is now bustling with activity.
Of course, this kitchen wasn't specially built to entertain guests from the Celestial Master Dynasty, but rather to make things convenient for Yun Ci, so that she wouldn't have to run around.
Standing in this extremely large room, you can hear an echo when you speak loudly.
Braised pork belly with osmanthus, boiled prawns, crispy roasted chicken, garlic lobster balls, roasted duck, steamed fish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, boiled lettuce, hot and sour lotus root slices, lotus root and pear pork rib soup...
Many dishes were almost ready last night, but dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Lotus Root, Snow Pear, and Pork Rib Soup need to be stewed for a longer time.
During this time, Yun Ci sat on the stool and took out a storybook to read.
After a while, a person dressed in the robes of an inner disciple walked in.
Smelling the rich aroma, the senior brother swallowed hard and said, "Junior Brother Yun."
This smells so good!
Yun Ci put down her storybook and looked at him. "Can we serve the food now?"
The inner disciple nodded, "That's fine, about a quarter of an hour."
Yun Ci got up, took out all the dishes she had prepared from her storage ring, and divided them into individual small plates in front of her.
I was thinking to myself as I was packing them.
Yesterday's crispy roasted chicken was delicious, and the little ones loved it too. I'll roast a few more batches when we get back.
The people in the back row craned their necks to watch the food being distributed, constantly swallowing hard.
"Junior Brother Yun, give me the rest."
One of the inner disciples looked at the extra braised pork that had been portioned out and said...
Yun Ci nodded, "Okay, you can eat these too."
"Thank you, Yun Ci!"
"Thank you, Junior Brother Yun!"
Several inner disciples hurriedly went to deliver the dishes.
Hurry up and deliver the food; they need to eat too.
......
The ministers and princes of the Celestial Master Dynasty were all focused on their conversation and showed no interest in the food that was about to be served.
After all, the food served by these sects is not as delicious as the food served by their royal family.
When the first appetizer was served, after exchanging pleasantries, the princes saw Elder Huaiyuan and Elder Chengxuan of the Xuanyuan Sect across from them and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Even the sect leader picked up his chopsticks to eat.
To show their respect, the people of the Celestial Master Dynasty immediately picked up their chopsticks, preparing to symbolically take a bite or two.
The three appetizers were rock sugar hawthorn, spicy and sour lotus root slices, and crisp radish strips.
Hawthorn is sweet with a hint of sourness, and sour with a hint of sweetness.
The combination of sweet and sour flavors creates an extremely refreshing taste.
The second princess of the Celestial Master Dynasty took a bite of a hawthorn that was as plump as a little red lantern, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Suppressing their surprise, everyone's appetites were immediately whetted after eating the three appetizers.
Not only the elders of the Xuanyuan Sect, but even the people of the Celestial Master Dynasty were starting to look forward to the dishes to come.
The second princess swallowed the hawthorn in her mouth, gently touched her lips with a handkerchief, and looked at the hawthorn juice in the small dish, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
The head maid beside her bent down and placed the empty plate aside, whispering, "Princess, we're outside, don't drink."
The second princess stared longingly at the small dish of hawthorn juice.
As each dish was served...
Upon seeing these dishes they had never seen before, the expressions on the faces of the people from the Celestial Master Dynasty could no longer be concealed.
Not only are the dishes beautifully presented, but their cooking methods are also unique, and their aromas are so rich that they make your mouth water.
This time, the people from the Celestial Master Dynasty didn't need to feign politeness; they immediately reached for the food with their chopsticks.
Once you take a bite, you can't stop eating it.
"May I ask which disciple prepared these dishes?"
A minister who had eaten three pieces of braised pork asked.
Elder Huaiyuan said proudly, "It was made by my little grandson!"
“It was so delicious!”
"Unparalleled in the world!"
“Master Huaiyuan, I’m not afraid to admit it, but I’ve lived for over seventy years and have never tasted such delicious food.”
"Yes, yes, me too, it's so delicious..."
"This fish retains its original flavor without any fishy smell at all; it's so fresh..."
Sincere praise naturally flowed out with each bite of food.
The princes and princesses couldn't help but eat it bite by bite.
The palace servants standing nearby silently swallowed their saliva.
It smells so good...
An elderly minister was hesitating whether to secretly wrap the braised pork and crispy roasted chicken in an oil paper bag and take them back to his unruly and troublesome granddaughter.
Then, realizing they would be staying there for several days, the elderly minister stopped pretending.
The main hall was filled with the sounds of eating.
As for formalities, they had already been swallowed down along with each satisfying bite of food.
At this moment, the Grand Preceptor of the Celestial Master Dynasty spoke up, "Is the grandson of True Man Huaiyuan named Yun Ci?"
Elder Huaiyuan immediately smiled, "Yes, he's very handsome!"
As he spoke, Elder Huaiyuan took out his communication device, found Yun Ci's image, and showed it off to everyone.
Everyone praised him repeatedly.
Although there is an element of flattery involved, who wouldn't say that the person in the picture is handsome and has a beautiful face?
The third prince took a bite of abalone, his mind racing with thoughts.
I never expected him to be able to cook, and to cook in such a way that suited my taste.
The third prince slowly chewed the tender abalone in his mouth, as if savoring something...
What to do? He likes it even more now.
The Seventh Princess, who was a few seats away, was even more curious about Yun Ci.
She's going to find Yun Ci!
P.S.: It's Monday again, my darlings, you know what that means! See you tomorrow!! Hehe (?˙▽˙?)
