Capítulo 2011: Chapter 138: The Grand Finale (23,000 Words) (Part 13)
Cheng Haoxuan seed to have finally found soone on the sa page, looking aggrieved: “I wasn’t lying, it really hurts a lot!”
Xia Zheng glared at him with annoyance: “You’re a grown man, why are you fussing about pain? Have so backbone!”
“Exactly, look at Brother-in-law, he got pinched too, but didn’t cry out in pain, did he?”
Xiao He glanced humorously at Cheng Haoxuan but didn’t notice that Xia Zheng was hiding his own hand cautiously behind him, not daring to move.
It was probably only Lin Yuan, who knew him best, who could see the pain forming on Xia Zheng’s brow.
“Alright, you guys stop ssing around, the competition is about to start, shouldn’t you hurry up and clean these crayfish? Didn’t you see? So many competitors outside co to challenge us, if we’re not serious, we might really be overshadowed!”
Lin Yuan interrupted everyone and demonstrated the process of handling the crayfish herself. The head of the crayfish is inedible, and the dirtiest parts are all concentrated there, so she nimbly removed the head and then carefully pulled out the intestine.
The whole set of actions was so smooth and graceful, like embroidery, that it left Xiao He and Cheng Haoxuan dumbfounded.
Xia Zheng’s eyes lit up, he hugged Lin Yuan and smacked her on the cheek: “My wife is the best, be it crayfish or lobster, they’re no match for her!”
Smack!
Ouch!
Lin Yuan, who was openly flirted with, threw a crayfish right onto Xia Zheng’s fingers, and this ti, soone finally cried out shalessly.
Laughter burst out in the rest area, until Chen Ruochu and Shopkeeper Liu, who were out gathering information, suddenly returned with a gust of cold wind.
“How did it go?”
Xiao Linzi ward his hands by the stove, pouting and shaking his head: “A wasted effort, I couldn’t find anyone you asked to look for!”
Saying this, he took a letter out from his pocket: “Here, it’s from that Xiliang fox, I happened to run into him at the door.”
Xiliang fox? He Lienuo?
Before Lin Yuan could reach for it, the letter was already snatched away by Xia Zheng.
“Did he not co? That guy, taking so much from us Dayong and he doesn’t show up!”
As Xia Zheng read the letter, he cursed, but soon burst into laughter: “Haha, this guy is too much, haha.”
Lin Yuan curiously leaned over to take a look, and she too, unkindly laughed.
The letter was three pages long, but it all boiled down to one thing: Before Princess Cuiwei even left Dayong’s border, she took her own life, and the unlucky Crown Prince of Xiliang, He Lienuo, had to start a new round of matchmaking.
So much so that he couldn’t even attend the cooking competition he personally suggested, as he was currently being dragged around by his mother, his Young Imperial Uncle, and that ugly and most detested national treasure matchmaker, Little Peach, eting beauties from all over!
In the letter, He Lienuo even dedicated a heavy diatribe to that ugly and most detested national treasure matchmaker, Little Peach, filling two full pages with almost nothing but curses!
Lin Yuan wasn’t in the mood to read his foul language, but her spirits lifted at the thought of the always arrogant and pretentious He Lienuo being forced into matchmaking.
Besides complaining and cursing, He Lienuo particularly lanted not being able to taste the culinary art of Lin Yuan and the Dongling Little Beauty.
At the ntion of the Dongling Little Beauty, Lin Yuan imdiately recalled Xiao Linzi’s words.
“So, that famous Fisherwoman of Dongling didn’t co?”
Didn’t He Lienuo say she was the most skilled Fisherwoman in Dongling now? And her cooking skills were supposed to be top-notch; why didn’t she show up for today’s competition?
Chen Ruochu had already ward his hands and was sitting with Cheng Haoxuan and the others, watching them handle crayfish.
“Oh, she didn’t co. I heard that the little lady is pregnant, and her Cold-faced Killing God doesn’t allow her to go out!”
So that’s how it is!
Lin Yuan shrugged, realizing her wish to compete in cooking with the little Fisherwoman couldn’t be realized for a while.
“Hehe, pregnant, huh!”
Xia Zheng suddenly grinned and leaned closer, raising his eyebrows at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was imdiately speechless, stretching out her hand to push his oversized face away: “If you want to be a monk for a year, I don’t mind giving you one!”
