Volume 5: The Two Great Prideful Sons (Part 2) Chapter 156: Tacit Cooperation
Welcome Inn.
After Wei Wuya entered the store, he smiled and asked, "Boss, how many chefs do you have here? How many different cuisines can you cook?"
Su Weiyun wiped the tables and chairs and served tea and water while answering, "I'm the only one here. I'm the owner, I'm the waiter, and I'm the cook."
The Dragon Star Lord said, "Then you can just cook a few of your specialties, increase the portions, and steam a large bucket of cooked rice for us to eat."
Wei Wu Ya frowned slightly: "Shenlong, you can make do with it, but as the leader of Wu Ya Sect, I have to eat more delicately. Today I want to eat a Sichuan dish, a Hunan dish, a Shandong dish, a Cantonese dish, three Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, and finally a bowl of seven fresh health-preserving soup."
Xiao Yuer frowned again and said, "I'm afraid not. Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine is very delicate and can't be stir-fried!"
Wei Wu Ya laughed and said, "Big stir-fry? Why big stir-fry?"
Xiao Yuer pointed at the twenty or thirty Wu Ya disciples in the inn and asked in surprise, "If we can't increase the portions, what will they eat?"
Wei Wuya was surprised and said, "I don't care whether my disciples are hungry or not, why are you worried?"
Xiao Yuer looked at the Wuya disciples, only to see that they were taking out fat rats one after another from some unknown corner.
The Wuya disciple grabbed the mouse's tail. The mouse jumped around in panic, but couldn't break free.
Then an even more disgusting scene occurred. These Wuyamen disciples actually took the rats in their hands, cut open their stomachs and skinned them with knives, pulled out their intestines and drained their blood.
But after a while, the mouse that was still alive and kicking had its flesh and blood torn apart, leaving only a thin skin, with its bones and tendons rolled into a ball and placed on the table, looking extremely bloody.
"Shopkeeper, take all this fresh, high-quality rat meat and cook it well. Add plenty of green onions and ginger, and preferably some spicy food. Once it's done, I'll definitely get your reward!"
Su Weiyun looked very unhappy and said, "I have never made rat soup, so forget it."
The disciple of Wu Ya Sect asked, "Why don't you do business even if I give you money?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "It's true that I can't just be invited to cook."
The Wuya sect disciple suddenly stood up, slammed the wooden table angrily, and shouted: "Shame on you! Do you look down on us Wuya sect?!"
Before Su Weiyun could say anything, Xiao Yu'er chimed in, "Hahaha, Wei Wuya, your disciples are all really heroes. They just lost their temper at an innkeeper who doesn't know martial arts. I admire you, I admire you!"
Wei Wuya said slowly: "All along the way, you seem to be dissatisfied with my disciples?"
Xiao Yuer said confidently: "If we, a rat, a dragon, and a fish, defeat Yan Nantian, annex Yihua Palace, and become the overlords of the martial arts world, won't we be of the same blood and prosper together?"
"It's not a big deal if your stupid disciples lose the people of Wuya Sect, but it will affect the reputation of me and Shenlong! What's more, I originally thought that your stupid disciples could not represent the Twelve Constellations, and could not represent Wuya Sect! Haha!"
The Dragon Star Lord rarely spoke: "This time I think Xiao Yu'er is right!"
Wei Wu Ya was naturally a little embarrassed, but he couldn't seem to get angry with his two allies, so he could only scold Wu Ya's disciples, "Go find a big pot to light a fire and cook the meat, and stop making noise, it's disgraceful!"
"Shopkeeper, just prepare the dishes for the three of us. Come back quickly!"
Su Weiyun stared at Wei Wuya, Shenlong Xingjun and Xiao Yuer, constantly speculating in his heart about the mysterious relationship between them and the purpose of their visit.
——Since Xiao Yuer, Wei Wu Ya and Shen Long Xing Jun seem to be getting along well with each other and there is not much gap between them, it seems that they are probably not here to hunt down Du Sha.
Su Weiyun turned and left, nodding and saying, "Okay."
The Dragon Star Lord looked at Su Weiyun's back and suddenly said, "I always feel that this person looks familiar to me."
Wei Wuya stared at Shenlong strangely and asked, "Do you suspect him?"
The Dragon Star Lord said, "I can't say I'm suspicious, it's just a little strange."
Wei Wu Ya said leisurely: "You can tell by looking at the dishes he serves. Since he is a veteran in running an inn, he must be able to cook a few dishes."
Su Weiyun went to the kitchen calmly and easily. He had worked as a chef in Chang'an Residence, so cooking dishes from all over the world was not a problem for him.
Half an hour later.
Dishes were constantly brought out from the kitchen: spicy diced chicken, crispy roasted fish, four-happiness meatballs, purple sweet potato glutinous rice cakes, West Lake beef soup, Jiangnan braised duck...
It was a feast that brought together cuisines from Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong and other places. Except for the fact that the dishes were served a little slowly, everything else was impeccable.
Xiao Yuer picked up a piece of sticky rice, ate it calmly, and said with a smile: "Let me eat it first, in case some cowards are too scared and want to find someone to test the poison first before they can rest assured."
The Dragon Star Lord also ate a piece of braised duck at this time, and all doubts in his eyes disappeared. He said: "It is indeed a good skill. Ordinary people can't cook such a good dish."
Wei Wu Ya snorted coldly, followed the two of them and took a mouthful of glutinous rice and a chopstick of duck meat, and said: "It's just a few dishes, how could I be so boring as to ask someone to test the poison? You think too much!"
Xiao Yuer glanced around, but didn't look at Su Weiyun standing by the table, and said, "Let me try this bowl of West Lake beef again."
The Dragon Star Lord praised again: "Although this beef is not of top quality, the ingredients used are very good."
Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Old Dragon, look at this bowl of soup. There are seven kinds of fresh vegetables, each with its own flavor."
The Dragon Star Lord said: "Well, it is rare to find such delicious food in this small town..."
Xiao Yu'er and Shenlong Xingjun chatted with each other, ignoring Wei Wuya who was sitting next to them, and started talking about all sorts of things under the sun and all kinds of delicious food.
Wei Wuya couldn't stand the feeling of being ignored, so he picked up a piece of spicy chicken, dipped it in the rich red oil, and pretended to put it into his mouth.
"Oh, the diced chicken is not spicy enough, but there is not enough salt."
Xiao Yu'er and the Dragon Star Lord still ignored each other and continued to talk about their own things.
Wei Wu Ya picked up another piece of crispy fish meat, shook his head and commented: "The seasoning on the fish meat is too heavy. What a pity."
“Why don’t you eat these two dishes?”
He saw Xiao Yu'er and Shenlong Xingjun drinking soup and eating meat, but never touching the two Sichuan and Hunan dishes, so he couldn't help but ask.
The Dragon Star Lord said calmly: "I don't like spicy food."
Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Old Ancestor Wuya, if you like it, eat more. I'll leave it all for you!"
Wei Wuya smiled coldly and said, "No knowledge, no taste."
Xiao Yuer asked, "Do you have to control whether I like spicy food or not?"
Wei Wuya said: "That's none of my business. I just want you to cooperate with me to alienate Yan Nantian and Yao Yue Lianxing, and let them fight each other. When both of them are hurt, we can reap the benefits!"
Xiao Yuer said: "Of course it won't be bad. I grew up in the Evil Valley since I was a child, and I am Yan Nantian's closest junior. This trick should be easy for me to pull off!"
Wei Wuya said: "Humph, I'm just worried that you will sell me out one day!"
Xiao Yuer asked, "How could that be?"
Wei Wuya said: "Of course not... Hey, what's wrong with my arm..."
His expression suddenly changed.
“This dish is poisonous!”
Xiao Yuer said: "Impossible!"
The Dragon Star Lord was also puzzled: "We all ate it, how could it be poisonous?"
Wei Wuya roared and stretched out his right hand to grab Su Weiyun who was beside the table, but Su Weiyun dodged nimbly.
While Wei Wuya was calling out to his disciples, he said to Shenlong and Xiaoyuer, "You... you guys, help me catch him! Make him take out the antidote!"
Xiao Yuer walked up to him and whispered, "How could the food be poisonous? Have you been sitting for too long and your blood circulation has become numb?"
He pretended to check Wei Wuya's body, but took the opportunity to attack like lightning, "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" and pressed dozens of acupoints around his body!
“Hahahahaha! Wei Wuya, you’re doomed this time!”
The Dragon Star Lord's expression changed.
Wei Wuya's face turned red and ferocious, and he cursed: "Why?! How come you are not poisoned?!"
Xiao Yu'er clapped his hands and laughed, "Because I already knew that if Su Weiyun wanted to poison someone, she would definitely put it in the dish with the heaviest taste to cover up the smell! So even though I like to eat those two spicy dishes, I can only bear with it and give them to you! Hahahahaha!"
