Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Is it Just About Having Hands?

When the villagers tasted his curry beef one by one, their faces revealed an indescribable expression.

In the end, he could only secure a score of 5.

Qi Tianyu found it somewhat hard to accept.

“Why? My dish clearly wasn’t unpalatable, right?”

An old man, speaking in an authentic local dialect, said, “This dish tastes weird and looks even weirder, nobody pours this kind of sauce over their food, it ruins the appetite. If it weren’t for the money, I wouldn’t have wanted to touch my chopsticks.”

[Hahaha, the old man wanted to say Qi Tianyu’s curry looked like poop, didn’t he? But seeing the camera, he held back.]

[Indeed, the local elderly folks have very low acceptance of spices like curry, especially since this is a highland area, it’s normal for them not to be used to it.]

[Laughed to death. Who would have thought Qi would actually fail because the ingredients weren’t locally palatable.]

[Who would have guessed that Director Sun invited some locals to be the judges? Poor Qi got really unlucky this round.]

Next up was Shu Yan.

Although the locals rarely ate things like zhajiangmian, their acceptance of it was much higher than that of curry.

Moreover, there was a lifelike sweet potato flower placed on the side, which instantly caught the eye of several aunties.

Therefore, Shu Yan ended up receiving the highest score so far, an 8.

Seeing the result, she immediately gave Jiang Li a fragrant kiss.

“Thanks, little sister. I’ll share half of my zhajiangmian with you!”

Seeing this scene, Wen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and muttered softly, “What’s with the pretense of deep sisterly love?”

[Looks like Wen Jiaojiao’s face turned really sour, she wouldn’t be jealous, would she?]

[Let me say it again, CPs can be unconventional, but not bizarre! Shipping Jiang Yan and Princess Wen is enough, how come there are people shipping Jiang Li and Princess Wen?]

[I wasn’t originally into it, but now that you mention it, I kind of want to ship it. Enemies-to-lovers CP is just too enticing.]

The moment Wen Jiaojiao said this, the judges approached her.

Wen Jiaojiao immediately shut up, but reluctantly opened the plate in front of her.

Instantly, everyone nearby covered their noses.

Jiang Yan even outright commented, “Holy shit Wen Jiaojiao, did you put poop on the plate? It stinks!”

The people watching the live broadcast initially didn’t react much until Jiang Yan’s comment made them all feel physically unwell.

Wen Jiaojiao’s face turned even greener.

“Can you watch your mouth, Jiang Yan? This is seafood!”

“What kind of seafood stinks like this?”

Not just Jiang Yan, but several villagers also held their noses with extreme distaste.

One of them even turned back to ask Director Sun if they could simply abstain.

Director Sun, somewhat helplessly pinching his nose, said, “Come on, give it a taste. It might be good.”

“That’s right,” Wen Jiaojiao chimed in.

Qi Tianyu glanced at the dark seafood in front of her, “So, have you tried it yourself?”

Wen Jiaojiao: “….”

“I’m, I’m not very hungry.”

It was not easy for her to prepare this already!

If this was at home, her parents would have been moved to tears!

Reluctantly, under the notion of ‘a soft hand and a short mouth,’ the villagers grabbed several crabs.

The moment it entered their mouths, they all simultaneously ran to the side to retch.

“This thing is too fishy, good crabs have been ruined like this, it’s such a sin!” an auntie complained.

Others just kept spitting out, “Was this even cleaned? Why am I tasting sand in my mouth?”

Wen Jiaojiao’s bravado gradually diminished a lot.

She was afraid of being pinched by the crabs, so she had just rinsed them briefly with a hose.

But the water pressure was strong, so it should be cleaned, right?

[LOL, Princess Wen doesn’t even dare to speak anymore.]

[How terrible is her cooking? The villagers’ reactions are way too much.]

[Just look at the faces of the people beside her, you can tell. The smell alone is unbearable, let alone eating it.]

At the end, Wen Jiaojiao gloriously received the lowest score so far in this competition—a 3.

Then, all the cameras focused on Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan’s big grin suddenly disappeared.

“Are you sure you want to see mine?”

Director Sun had already started yawning, “Stop dawdling, if you dawdle any more, there won’t be any time left for a lunch break.”

Jiang Yan reluctantly reached out his hand.

His slender and distinct fingers pressed against the unimpressive pot lid, looking exceptionally sexy and attractive.

But when the pot lid was lifted, the few pale, colorless potatoes looked exceptionally tragic and desolate.

Director Sun’s eyes widened.

He seemed incredulous and leaned in for a closer look.

“Where’s your chicken?”

Jiang Yan turned around and pointed towards the veranda.

The previously fierce hen was now quietly pecking at rice grains next to a pillar.

Then he turned back and looked into Director Sun’s eyes earnestly, saying, “Buddha said: ‘Do not kill.'”

People nearby: “….”

Barrage: “….”

[Thanks, if I hadn’t watched the whole process, I would have actually believed it.]

[Young Master acts so well, I suggest he switch careers to acting right away.]

[Director Sun: You think I’d believe that?]

Some audience members who had just come in didn’t know what had happened, so they had to turn to Weibo to search for netizens’ screen recordings.

In fact, Jiang Yan wasn’t being compassionate.

He simply couldn’t catch the chicken at all.

Not to mention killing it.

In the end, the yard was scattered with feathers from the fleeing chickens and the excrement from their fright.

Several photographers were so busy capturing the grand chicken chase that they neglected the few people in the kitchen.@@novelbin@@

By the time Jiang Yan was straightened up from a beating by Jiang Li and had cleaned up the yard, Director Sun was already on the way with the judges.

He had no choice but to chop up that potato, throw it in the pot, and boil it.

He didn’t even add salt.

But fortunately, the villagers weren’t picky, and the boiled potatoes still had a unique flavor, ultimately earning Jiang Yan one point more than Wen Jiaojiao.

Next up was the final contestant, Jiang Li.

Almost everyone was eagerly anticipating her display.

After all, the three guests present were all taught by her, even Shu Yan’s lifelike sweet potato flower on her plate was carved by her.

If she couldn’t make anything good, it would be a hard sell.

However, when she slowly lifted the lid in front of her, what was displayed in front of the cameras was just a plain dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Despite the vibrant colors of the eggs and tomatoes looking very appealing, Wen Jiaojiao still scoffed and laughed the moment she saw it.

“I thought it was something special, turns out it’s just scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”

The people in the livestream also felt somewhat disappointed.

They had thought Jiang Li was concocting something great in the kitchen, but it was just scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

[Pfft, and she’s teaching others how to cook, isn’t it just scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which anyone with hands can make?]

[Although but, Jiang Li did seem rather unprepared this time.]

[Isn’t she supposed to be the best cook here? This is just too perfunctory.]
