Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 271 Five Dishes Together (Daily 10,000 words)

This comprehensive acceleration demonstrates the formidable strength of the inner court disciples.

Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan have all given their all, but following behind is still very tiring.

On the contrary, He Caitou was slightly better. He carried a bunch of heavy soul tools around all day, and his physical fitness was unexpectedly strong. With the help of cigars, his endurance was terrifying.

Huo Yuhao's speed wasn't exaggerated, but he was clearly very relaxed. Judging from his graceful and carefree manner as he ran, he obviously still had energy to spare and was in much better condition than the four Soul Masters behind him, showing no signs of fatigue.

With the Flowing Water Stepping Moon technique activated, Huo Yuhao's body would shoot forward three zhang (approximately 10 meters) with each touch of his toes. Just as his speed began to decrease, his toes would immediately touch the ground again to accelerate, as graceful as a dragonfly skimming the water.

They traveled at a brisk pace until noon before stopping to rest. The inner court students all looked normal, with only slightly rapid breathing. However, the four outer court Soul Masters who had been giving it their all were drenched in sweat, except for He Caitou, who was in relatively better condition.

"Yuhao, show us what you've got!" Wang Dong said excitedly to Huo Yuhao as soon as Ma Xiaotao put him down.

"Then I'll trouble everyone to prepare some materials, as my own storage soul tools are not quite enough."

"Okay, okay, I agree. Yuhao's cooking is the best." Xu Sanshi, who was sitting on the ground panting heavily, raised his hands and feet at the same time. The sight was quite comical.

Beibei laughed heartily, "You really are like a turtle turned upside down. No wonder you're a Xuanming Turtle Soul Master!"

"Pfft..." Jiang Nannan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Xu Sanshi was about to lash out, but seeing Jiang Nannan's smile, his expression immediately changed, and he said sullenly, "I'll forgive you since you made my goddess laugh."

Jiang Nannan glanced at Huo Yuhao, a hint of envy in her eyes. She was several grades above Huo Yuhao, so she naturally knew how Huo Yuhao had started from scratch and earned so much money.

We both came from humble backgrounds, so why don't I have such a clever mind?

If I knew how to make more money, I wouldn't have to live such a frugal life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nannan sighed slightly. She had once thought about working part-time at Huo Yuhao's shop to earn some living expenses, but at that time Huo Yuhao's shop already had enough staff.

Despite this, Huo Yun'er really liked Jiang Nannan and helped her find a few jobs at the shop next door. However, the working hours of these jobs were too disruptive to her studies. Later, Huo Yun'er simply invited Jiang Nannan to come to her house to clean, which finally made Jiang Nannan a little more financially secure.

Huo Yuhao was unaware of this matter, as Jiang Nannan also had her pride and was embarrassed to let people know that she needed to work part-time to support herself.

"Elder Xuan, there's something else I need to trouble you with."

Huo Yuhao walked up to Elder Xuan and spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Elder Xuan was clearly still not fully recovered; he was in a low mood and subconsciously resisted Huo Yuhao's words.

"Could you please give me your feedback on my cooking later? Whether the food is good or not can only be determined by your evaluation, since you are a connoisseur."

"You brat." Elder Xuan turned his head somewhat awkwardly, avoiding Huo Yuhao's gaze. "Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll give you a proper critique later. If I'm not satisfied, hmph. I'll make things difficult for you in the academy from now on."

Seeing Elder Xuan's reaction, Huo Yuhao finally relaxed, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow. He had actually pointed at a level 98 Super Douluo and scolded him that morning.

Seemingly pleased with the thought of tasting Huo Yuhao's cooking again, Elder Xuan clapped his hands.

"Xiao Tao, you're in charge of starting the fire. Dai Yueheng and Chen Feng, you're tasked with catching fish. The more the better. Ling Luochen and Xixi, you two go catch some wild game. Gongyang Mo, you go with them too."

"Those who don't want to go hungry, get moving! Huo Yuhao, you're the chef today. Everyone else, go find firewood, don't just sit around."

It must be said that the elites of Shrek Academy were absolutely amazing at completing the mission. In less than fifteen minutes, a good amount of firewood was laid out in front of Huo Yuhao, who also found some stones nearby to build several temporary stoves.

After a while, Gongyang Mo, Xixi, and Ling Luochen returned first. They brought back two wild rabbits, two pheasants, and a plump roe deer.

"Begin, begin." Elder Xuan raised his wine gourd to Huo Yuhao, signaling him to start quickly.

Huo Yuhao didn't rush to start, but first thought about how to process these ingredients. It would be a waste to simply barbecue these wild game. It would be better to process them according to their own meat quality. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been learning from Uncle Gongsun, the head chef at the core disciple window, for nothing?

Huo Yuhao looked at the ingredients in front of him and quickly eliminated the options based on the various ingredients he had. He also removed some dishes that took too long to prepare before signaling Ling Luochen to start cooking.

Under Ling Luochen's ice elemental influence, the five wild beasts floated in front of her, and each one was skinned, cleaned, and washed as if by a master butcher. In less than a minute, five clean and high-quality wild game ingredients appeared before Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had already made up his mind about the two rabbits. He took the first one, cut off its limbs with a dagger, and then marinated it with salt, perilla leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, ginger shreds, and a small amount of water.

After marinating, it will need to be brushed with a layer of oil and honey, and it's made using the same method as crispy roasted rabbit.

As for the second one, Huo Yuhao planned to braise it with scallions, so he cut it into small pieces, put it in boiling water for a few minutes to remove the blood, took it out, washed it, and then transferred it to another stove.

The oil in the pot was already hot. Huo Yuhao added the scallions, ginger slices, and rice wine, and then added the rabbit meat that had been boiled to remove the blood.

With a hiss, everyone sniffed, as if they could already smell the aroma.

But Huo Yuhao was just getting into the swing of things. He quickly removed the pot of boiling water from the first stove to make room for it. With one hand, he stir-fried the rabbit meat on the second stove, and with the other hand, he prepared two chickens. He quickly marinated one of them and threw the other into the stew pot that was already filled with stew ingredients on the third stove.

That wasn't all. At that moment, Huo Yuhao began directing Ling Luochen to handle the roe deer. One person was taking care of three stoves and preparing five dishes at the same time. He used both hands, flipping and turning the food, which dazzled everyone watching.
