The cook Xiao Dingxiang brought the half-cooked wild boar meat steak to the lobby of the Red Flower Palace. Looking at the smelly meat, Tang Xi shook his head in disdain.

"Tang Xi, you can't even boil boiled water, and you still dislike my food?"

"This is not considered a meal."

The cook Xiao Dingxiang clenched her fists: "Then what is rice?"

Tang Xi stood up and said, "If the king is satisfied with the food I made, can I first detoxify Tao Qian? He is about to die, and I have no intention of making medicine."

The red poisonous handkerchief wiped his mouth: "I will promise you, let's see what tricks you can come up with?"

Little Lilac is a vegetarian animal and its body is a goat.

Xiao Dingxiang doesn’t even eat the meat she usually cooks.

Xiao Dingxiang's wild boar steak is beautifully presented but has a bland taste. The meat is dripping with blood and smells fishy.

Red Poison is a python demon. He eats raw food and half-cooked food. Of course, what kind of delicious food is this?

Little Dingxiang originally lived in the Eighth Ring of the Dragon Forest. Her first love was killed, so she came to the Fourth Ring to protect herself.

Hong Po wanted to eat her, but seeing that her cultivation was less than five hundred years old, he kept her in the palace to raise her.

Red Poison wanted to be the king of mankind, but he didn't have the talent, so he built a palace in the barrier.

Xiao Dingxiang is proficient in carving. In order to survive, she said that she was making royal meals outside the forest.

The dishes were beautifully presented, so Hongdu made Xiao Dingxiang the head chef. From then on, he never thought about eating Xiao Dingxiang again.

Tang Xi followed Xiao Dingxiang to the kitchen.

Xiao Dingxiang had met Tang Xi before, when Tang Xi was still a madman. Now Tang Xi behaves like a lady.

He talks and acts like normal people.

Xiao Dingxiang panicked. If Tang Xi really made something delicious, would the Red Poison King have murderous intentions again?

Xiao Dingxiang's inner activities were captured by the divine pot and completely sent to Tang Xi's mind.

In the front hall of the imperial kitchen, a woman in light yellow clothes wearing an apron was placing pastries on a gold-rimmed disk.

Seeing Xiao Dingxiang and Tang Xi coming, she hurriedly turned around and walked to Tang Xi to introduce herself.

"I am Xiao Guihua, in charge of tea, wine and cakes in the palace."

Xiao Dingxiang's face was as cold as ice: "Xiao Guihua, this is Miss Tang Xi, an old friend of the Red Poison King."

Xiao Osmanthus hurriedly picked up a plate of pastries and presented it in front of Tang Xi.

"I've heard of my sister's name, but it's different from the rumors. Come and try my skills."

I smelled the sweet smell of osmanthus in this woman, and it seemed that she was an osmanthus tree demon. I picked up a piece of crystal water chestnut cake and put it into my mouth.

It's cool in the mouth, the cake is slightly sweet, and the water chestnut particles are crispy. Eating it in summer will definitely relieve the heat.

At this time, another man with a hedgehog head came. This man was dressed in green, and his body was filled with a strong plant fragrance. Tang Xi couldn't remember what it smelled like.

There were two disciples behind the man, and the man spoke.

"My name is Cactus, and everyone calls me Chef Cactus. I specialize in vegetarian food. The king occasionally eats vegetarian food, so I start cooking. Now that the girl has come to the kitchen for the first time, I came to take a look."

On the left is the stove in the royal dining room, and on the right is the cargo box.

Some baskets contain vegetables and fruits brought from the human world, while others contain wild fruits and vegetables produced in the forest.

Cotton threads are hung on the window sill. Edible mushrooms in the forest are strung together with cotton threads and hung on the window sill. You can still smell the mushrooms as you pass by.

In the backyard of the kitchen are chickens and ducks purchased from the human world. In the pond in front of the yard are large carps.

"Master, this Hong Po is really good at cooking. He actually built a paradise for foodies. It's a pity that none of his cooks know how to cook."

"I don't think so. I took a bite of the water chestnut cake made with sweet-scented osmanthus and it was very delicious."

Tang Xi basket selection.

The three cooks all finished their work and took up stools to sit in the courtyard and drink tea.

"Xiao Dingxiang, I heard that Tang Xi and your Majesty were childhood sweethearts."

"Xiao Dingxiang, isn't she here to treat illnesses? If not going to the alchemy pavilion, why are you coming to the imperial dining room?"

"Her apprentice is a human being who has been poisoned by the king and is dying. She wants the king to remove a layer of the poison first, so she comes to the kitchen to cook and give it to the red poison."

Cactus touched his chin.

"I heard that this girl was half crazy and half stupid before. Why does she look like an ordinary person?"

"Xiao Dingxiang, I heard that this woman has been cured of her madness. Now that she comes back, she probably wants to rob the king."

"I followed the king earlier than you two. She couldn't even boil boiled water before, and she even gave the king diarrhea."

Little Osmanthus took a sip of tea.

"The king has raised three thousand beauties, but none of them can capture his heart. It's all just love. Sister Dingxiang has been in love with the king for many years, but she has not been granted the title of concubine until now."

Cactus picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

"Sister Dingxiang, you are the commander of the imperial kitchen, how can this girl compare to you?"

Xiao Osmanthus looked at Tang Xi's basket and said disdainfully.

"How many chickens have been killed? Afraid of failure, kill a few more chickens, right?"

Cactus took a sip of tea.

"I took five fresh chickens, two pounds of fatty pork belly, and a bunch of Chinese cabbage. What kind of dish are you going to make?"

"How can a fat pig raised by humans compare to a wild boar I hunted myself?"

Xiao Guihua hurriedly agreed.

"The pan-fried wild boar steak made by Sister Dingxiang is a masterpiece. The radishes on the plate are all carved into flower shapes. Even if the king is not a vegetarian, he can still eat it."

"I think she's going to fail. Your Majesty loves meat and doesn't like vegetarian food. He picks so many cabbages and feeds them to pigs and elephants. This is not how he feeds them."

Little Lilac yawned.

"She's been working in the kitchen for so long, look what she's done?"

Tang Xi cooked chicken soup and used magic to create a pressure cooker. He also minced two ounces of pork into puree.

"Is she going to make chicken soup and then make pork meatballs?"

"Pork tenderloin slices coated in flour? What's this red?"

Tang Xi smiled slightly.

“Special tomato sauce.”

Hongdu had already asked people to remove the pork chops. He was sitting in the main hall, waiting hungrily for the food Tang Xi sent.

Tang Xi ran to the courtyard and asked the cactus chef for some non-toxic thorns.

The stars rose into the sky and the street lights were on. Tang Xi finally cooked a few dishes.

The two female chefs came up to take a look.

Four dishes and one soup made the two of them laugh.

"I made a bunch of fancy dishes just now. Did you think it was some big dish? That's all?"

"Can it be delicious?"

The cactus went to the kitchen to check the ingredients. Only the core was taken from the cabbage, not the outer leaves, and its own thorns were still on the table.

"What on earth did this girl cook? Did she still need to use my thorns?"

The maid carried her dish to the palace. Tang Xi followed the maid.

Xiao Dingxiang wanted to mess with Tang Xi's dishes, but when she opened the lid and saw the mediocre four dishes and one soup, she gave up the idea.

The four dishes are covered with iron lids, and the soup dishes are covered with silver lids.

The three chefs came to the main hall to watch, waiting to see Tang Xi's joke.

Tang Xi placed the first dish in front of Hong Du, and Tang Xi opened the lid.

“Old-fashioned pot-wrapped pork.”

The pork chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with a layer of glaze sweet and sour paste, with a few shredded carrots and green peppers hanging on the dish.

Cactus said: "Pork in a pot? I didn't see the pot!

Xiao Guihua said: "This dish looks quite ordinary. Isn't it just deep-fried pork? It looks like pork chops made with cloves!"

Little Dingxiang nodded and clenched her fists. The dish smelled of vinegar and she firmly believed that the king would not eat it.

Unexpectedly, Hongdu moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

Red Poison chewed, with a serious look on his face.

Little Lilac was secretly proud.

"Your Majesty hates the smell of vinegar. What kind of pot-wrapped pork is this? Your Majesty will definitely not like it. Can a sauce with added sugar and vinegar be as good as my fried pork chops?"
