Chapter 21: Conquering Teammates

Ling Yaoyao put on extremely thin medical gloves and handled the two fish very swiftly. She divided the one that needs to be stewed into two halves because the fish was relatively large and will not be cooked properly without cutting.

The one to be grilled is marinated with shredded ginger, soy sauce, and cooking wine.

Yam is also very easy to handle. As she is wearing medical gloves, she will not have the problem of itching hands.

Luckily, she requested two more pots, one of which was an energy-stone-powered pressure cooker specially used for stewing. It is particularly good for making soup.

Ling Yaoyao didn't find any green onions, so Ling Yaoyao cut the ginger slices, simmered them with garlic, and put a little pepper in the seasoning.

Wei Yuan awkwardly followed Ling Yaoyao's instructions to pluck the pheasant that had been scalded in hot water.

Unfortunately, this dignified top student from the combat command department, who can do everything decently, can't deal with the two pheasants. After Ling Yaoyao cooked the fish, he only stripped out feathers from... one chicken wing.

Ling Yaoyao had to go to this battle on her own. She is actually not good at killing chickens. In her previous life, all the chickens she bought had been processed. However, she knew that all other internal organs were not needed except for the gizzards, so she could deal with them faster.

After cleaning, Ling Yaoyao used the back of a knife to break the bones of the chicken legs so that they could be folded into shape. Then she massaged and rubbed salt, oyster sauce, cooking wine, pepper, and other seasonings into the chicken. Then she stir-fried the Chinese pepper, garlic, and wild mountain pepper to create a delicate fragrance. Finally, stuff them into the breast cavity of the chicken together with the shredded mushrooms.

Without lotus leaf, Ling Yaoyao found some medicinal leaves instead, called Tuantuan leaf. The leaves were very large, similar to lotus leaves, but they grow on land. Ling Yaoyao picked up the dried leaves, washed them, and wrapped the pheasant in three layers.

Without flour, Ling Yaoyao could only use real soil instead. White wine was added to the soil to make it clay-like. After setting it up, Ling Yaoyao put the whole chicken in a small solar oven and set the temperature and time. Seeing Ling Yaoyao batter the chicken with mud, Wei Yuan, who has always calmly watched the overall situation, felt it was not very good! It is okay to use dried leaves to wrap the food, but why use mud as well?

Wei Yuan asked with a somewhat complicated expression, "Yaoyao, I heard that in your military training, you often missed dinner. You can only eat nutrient solutions from the self-service convenience store, which people said tastes like eating soil. Could it be that you eat too much of those things, and now you like the taste?"

Ling Yaoyao: '...This is a big misunderstanding!' She only had eaten it once, and she doesn't like the weird taste at all!

She just took too many nutrient solutions and couldn't help but want to show her skills today!

However, Wei Yuan would not believe anything she said before the final product came out.

She cut another pheasant into pieces, added oil in a hot pan, and stirred fry until the chicken changed color. She added mountain ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, cooking wine, soy sauce, etc. After the chicken is sautéed, add water and mushrooms and braise together.

This one needs to be simmered for half an hour at most. Fortunately, Ling Yaoyao is very foresighted. Not only she asked for two more pots, but she also has an empty wok!

Smelling the scent of chicken stir-frying, Wei Yuan, who had always been skeptical, came to believe that this little girl really knows how to cook, not just playing around.

Ling Yaoyao marinated the rabbit and pork cartilage that was meant to be roasted and instructed Wei Yuan to string them with bamboo skewers. Although they looked a bit crooked and unsightly, they still looked decent.

Together with the fish that had been marinated, these ingredients were placed on the grill. Ling Yaoyao demonstrated it to Wei Yuan and then let him look at it. She told him from time to time when it is time to turn it over, brushing oil, sauce, cumin, chili powder and so on.

In the meantime, she pinched off the top of the green vegetables, peeled them, cut, blanched, and stir-fried them with the minced pork belly.

The same as well with the tender bamboo shoots, but she boiled them first for a few minutes to remove the oxalic acid inside and then fried them with sliced ​​pork belly.

Next, the scrambled eggs with leeks, which is even easier!

The more time-consuming yam stewed fish soup, beggar chicken, and chicken stewed mushrooms are almost ready when these dishes are cooked.

The aromas of grilled fish, grilled rabbit, grilled pork cartilage, and chicken stewed with mushrooms have long spread throughout the woods.

Qiao Mingyao and Ye Xi looked at each other after smelling the rich food scent and slammed on the pedal to speed up the car.

Even Wei Yuan can't wait to start tasting the finished product that he roasted himself. The rabbit meat and pork cartilage covered with a layer of cumin and moderate chili powder smell really delicious!

He couldn't believe that he cooked it!

Ling Yaoyao also tasted a piece and said, "The meat is a bit tough, but it's okay."

Qiao Mingyao said from a distance, "Fuck, A Yuan actually started eating without waited for me!"

Ye Xi is driving the car. Before stopping, she turned over neatly and rushed over at a rapid speed.

Ling Yaoyao opened her hands and stood in front of the two people. She shouted with full breath, "You two, go to the river to wash your hands first!"

After the yam and fish soup was boiled, the yam and fish were very soft and flaky. Even the color of the soup is milky white. Just with a little salt, the taste is already delicious!

Needless to say, the chicken stew with mushrooms is rich and fragrant, which is very mouth-watering.

Even the one Wei Yuan felt strange and unacceptable, called the beggar chicken, once it was taken out of the oven, knocked the soil and uncovered the layers of leaves, another kind of heavenly aroma of pheasant and mushrooms suddenly burst out. It makes people move their index fingers!

Because of the limited materials, Ling Yaoyao tasted everything and self-evaluated herself, "Well, I didn't perform well this time. Don't dislike it, just eat!"

It's a pity that the three people were so busy eating that they don't have time to reply to her.

Qiao Mingyao is not afraid of scalding his mouth. While swiftly rushing to grab a meal with Ye Xi, she gave Ling Yaoyao a thumbs up, not caring about his beautiful image.

Ye Xi ate quickly and boldly. She also prefers to eat meat. However, she took time out of her busy mouth and said to Ling Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, I will praise you after I finish eating!"

Wei Yuan's eating is more gentle than the other two, but the speed of his chopsticks is definitely not slow. He smiled at Ling Yaoyao and said two words simply, "It's delicious!"

Ling Yaoyao looked at the three of them. Their speed of eating could catch up with starving ghosts rushing for reincarnation!

Fortunately, she was witty. She had put a little bit of each dish into her own bowl and then slowly started to eat.
