Chapter 1424
On the turntable of the light screen in front of him, the pointer stopped steadily in one of the slots, and the three big characters "Kongfu Banquet" were clearly visible.
Even without the system's introduction, Ye Changqing had a certain understanding of the Kongfu Banquet.
Compared to the Eight Treasures Banquet, the Kongfu Banquet was clearly more famous and was already an important part of the Chinese dietary culture of his previous life.
The Kongfu Banquet covered a wide range, used for receiving distinguished guests, taking office, birthdays, weddings, funerals, and longevity celebrations.
Its cooking techniques were diverse, mainly frying, burning, stir-frying, and steaming.
And the Kongfu Banquet had a grading system.
There were two grades.
The second grade was mainly for ordinary birthday banquets, festivals, weddings, funerals, memorial days, and receiving distinguished guests.
It mainly featured the four major shark fin dishes and the three major sea cucumber dishes.
The first grade was the top-tier banquet for entertaining emperors and nobles, with 404 pieces of tableware and over 190 dishes.
The system naturally drew the highest first-grade Kongfu Banquet.
In terms of grade, it should be higher than the Eight Treasures Banquet, but this time the system only gave one table.
Perhaps it was because there were many dishes.
There were pros and cons; the effect of the first-grade Kongfu Banquet was definitely stronger, but the quantity was smaller this time, so naturally, not many people could eat it.
The experience and methods for making the first-grade Kongfu Banquet had already appeared in Ye Changqing's mind; at this time, he was already well-versed in the production of the first-grade Kongfu Banquet.
And the ingredients were also stored in the system space, ready to be used at any time.
"Fairy Duck, First-Grade Sea Cucumber, Handle Shark Fin, Snow-Braised Charcoal, Empty Gate Meat Jerky, Flower Basket Mandarin Fish, One-Screen Tofu..."
Looking at the dishes of the Kongfu Banquet, Ye Changqing also sighed; it was truly rich.
Even if the system only gave the amount for one table, to be honest, it was indeed quite a lot.
He couldn't even care about resting; he had also heard the news of the Qingtian Holy Land's attack. He had to let the two Uncle-Masters, Wang Man and Facing Yuan Cang, break through to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
Gathering the Spirit Chefs of the Spirit Chef Alliance, Ye Changqing had already quietly taken out the ingredients for the Kongfu Banquet and placed them in the kitchen.
"Everyone, next I am going to prepare a banquet, and I need your help."
"Food Ancestor, you overstate it; if you have any instructions, we will naturally obey."
"That's right, Food Ancestor, one word from you, and we won't hesitate even if we have to go through fire and water."
"It's not that exaggerated, so let's begin."
Now these Spirit Chefs were absolutely loyal to Ye Changqing.
It was mainly to let these Spirit Chefs help him with the chores, and in many places, Ye Changqing still needed to teach them on the side.
Every Chinese banquet had its own unique features, and many cooking methods were completely different from the Haotu World.
This was the first time the Spirit Chefs had seen Ye Changqing prepare a banquet.
After a series of operations, the Spirit Chefs were all amazed.
Because many of Ye Changqing's methods, let alone seen, they hadn't even heard of.
This was simply opening up a brand-new cooking method, which amazed the Spirit Chefs and also inspired them greatly.
"As expected of the Food Ancestor; why didn't I think of processing the duck like this?"
"Be careful, everyone; these ingredients are very precious, not at all weaker than Demon Emperor ingredients."
The ingredients Ye Changqing took out this time were naturally perfect; could anything given by the system be bad?
So the Spirit Chefs were all cautious when processing them, preferring to be a bit slower rather than wasting even a tiny bit of the ingredients.
As the saying goes, "When everyone adds wood, the flames rise high"; with the help of so many Spirit Chefs, Ye Changqing's speed was very fast.
Estimating that they could start eating tomorrow night, it should be in time.
Preparing all night, the next day's breakfast was also simple beef noodles, and lunch was only egg fried rice and pickled vegetables.
However, even so, the Dao Yi Sect disciples were still excited.
In their view, what they ate wasn't important; the point was that it was made by Ye Changqing.
But this was hard on the cultivators of the major sects, because they hadn't eaten a single meal.
Ever since the Dao Yi Sect disciples arrived, they had been miserable.
No matter how careful they were, in the end, they were no match for these Dao Yi Sect disciples.
They even tried to ambush them in return, but it seemed to have no effect on the Dao Yi Sect disciples.
Their hearts were bitter, but there was no way; after all, the conditions given by the Upper Sect were fair. If you couldn't eat, who could you blame? You could only blame yourself for not being competitive enough.
Watching the Dao Yi Sect eating ravenously, the cultivators were looking on with eager eyes, swallowing their saliva crazily.
Just before, it was they who were eating, but now, sigh... the beautiful days had gone and would never return.
Ye Changqing didn't pay much attention to the disciples eating; for a full day and night, Ye Changqing had been busy with the Kongfu Banquet.
The time was set for tonight, and he had also told Yu Mo and Facing Qi Xiong about it; this time there was only enough for one table.
So Ye Changqing's suggestion was to give as much as possible to the two Uncle-Masters, Wang Man and Facing Yuan Cang.
It was essential to ensure the breakthrough of the two Uncle-Masters.
To this, Yu Mo and Facing Qi Xiong naturally knew the stakes and nodded in agreement.
Although at the thought of the deliciousness of the last Eight Treasures Banquet, both of them couldn't help but drool.
But they understood the principle of "one meal full versus every meal full."
If Facing Yuan Cang and Wang Man couldn't break through to the Emperor Realm, the Dao Yi Sect might not be able to beat the Qingtian Holy Land.
If they lost then, they would have nothing left.
They could only endure it, but even so, Yu Mo still complained to the two of them with an unhappy face.
"I say, are you two old guys doing this on purpose? Just to get a free banquet?"
"How could that be? We really tried our best."
"Heh, you're very happy now, aren't you? This banquet only has one table, and Young Master Changqing specifically instructed to prioritize you two, so we can only watch from the side."
Yu Mo was truly jealous; that was a banquet! He still couldn't forget the last Eight Treasures Banquet.
And this time, having finally had such an opportunity, they could only watch and not eat?
Faced with the resentful Yu Mo, Wang Man and Facing Yuan Cang tried their best to pretend to be guilty.
"Sigh, this matter is indeed our fault, but rest assured, this time we will definitely be able to break through."
"That's right, this time we will succeed or die trying."
"Alright, alright, stop pretending, wipe your saliva first."
They said it quite convincingly, but the saliva at the corners of their mouths had already betrayed them; these two old things were probably secretly happy inside.
Two people eating a whole table of banquet... damn it, just thinking about it made people angry.
The news that Ye Changqing was preparing a banquet for Wang Man and Facing Yuan Cang to break through had already spread.
However, since it concerned the life and death of the sect, everyone could understand, including the Master of the Yunluo Holy Land and the Master of the Jade Pool Holy Land, who were too embarrassed to come and lick their faces this time.
Although they knew it would definitely be even more delicious, this concerned the survival of the sect, so the Master of the Yunluo Holy Land and the Master of the Jade Pool Holy Land could only follow the crowd and eat some ordinary egg fried rice.
