Chapter 925 Authentic Hot Pot
"What have you done to Master?" Tao Guang felt a sense of foreboding when he saw Yu Ping.
"What else can we do but kill him?" Lin Ping said casually.
boom!
These words struck Tao Guang like a bolt from the blue. Tang Lie was a god in his eyes, an invincible being, how could he be killed so easily?
"I understand. You're all determined to die with your master. You've been poisoned," Tao Guang reassured himself.
He knew that Tang Lie's fighting skills were average, but his main strength lay in his poison technique, Li Hai. With Lin Ping's strength, he could indeed kill Tang Lie, but he would also die from poisoning.
"I'm sorry, he didn't have a chance to release the poison," Lin Ping said calmly.
Indeed, Tang Lie was killed by Jiang Yunying before he could even make a move. Lin Ping hadn't expected to win so easily.
"Is Tang Lie really a member of the Poison King Sect?" Lin Ping asked doubtfully, as he always felt that the Poison King Sect was not that simple.
It should be noted that it is on par with the three major sword sects.
"Master is just an outer disciple of the Poison King Sect. If you kill him, just wait for the inner disciples of the Poison King Sect to retaliate fiercely." Tao Guang cursed Lin Ping inwardly for being stupid enough to dare to kill someone from the Poison King Sect.
"So he was just an outer disciple. No wonder he's weaker than a chicken." Lin Ping realized.
He suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "Since Tang Lie is an outer disciple, the method he used to detoxify you is definitely not the best."
Upon hearing the word "detoxification," Tao Guang thought of the bucket of excrement and urine he had drunk, and felt nauseous again, vomiting.
"Such a strong reaction, I really don't know what Tang Lie fed you?" Lin Ping was full of curiosity. Luckily, Tao Guang didn't answer, otherwise Lin Ping would have laughed himself silly.
"Just wait for the Poison King Sect's revenge. You will all be buried with your master!" Tao Guang said viciously.
"Young hero, you should leave quickly. We can't afford to offend the Poison King Sect," Old Man Qin earnestly advised.
"Here we go again..." Lin Ping was speechless.
This time he didn't make up any reason. Don't ask, the answer is always the same: he'll stay here.
Qin Bao'er was overjoyed, at least she could spend a few more days with Lin Ping.
She should even be grateful to Tao Guang, otherwise Lin Ping wouldn't have stayed.
"Why did you let him leave, my husband?" Jiang Yunying asked in confusion.
The Poison King Sect is located hundreds of miles away, and without Tao Guang's tip-off, no one would know about the situation here.
Moreover, Tang Lie is only an outer disciple and would not attract the attention of the Poison King Sect.
"If I wanted to hide it, no one would know that Tang Lie died here, but it wouldn't attract the Poison King Sect to cause trouble either." Lin Ping smiled sinisterly.
"Does my husband want to create conflict between the Poison King Sect and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" Jiang Yunying suddenly realized.
Meizhou City is the territory of the Shushan Sword Sect, and the common people have to pay protection money.
If the Poison King Sect were to indiscriminately kill innocent people here, it would be an affront to the authority of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
It must be said that Lin Ping's use of borrowed knife to kill was brilliant. It's just that Tao Guang was too stupid to understand the situation and was limping towards the Poison King Sect, wishing he could tear Lin Ping to pieces immediately.
The days of waiting were boring, and Lin Ping was getting restless in the Qin family's backyard.
He would occasionally go to inquire about the situation in Meizhou City, but he spent most of his time accompanying Jiang Yunying in her cultivation.
"Boss Qin, take this tael of silver and buy some beef and mutton to eat." Lin Ping excitedly tossed out a tael of silver.
One tael of silver is equivalent to six hundred yuan in purchasing power, which is not a small amount for ordinary people.
Old Qin shook his head repeatedly, clearly not wanting to spend Lin Ping's money.
"Take it, and buy as many as you can!" Lin Ping said with a smile.
He was excited because he had found something good at the market that afternoon.
Just as Boss Qin went to buy meat, Lin Ping found an iron pot and some charcoal.
"Brother Lin, why did you put the iron pot on the table?" Qin Bao'er asked curiously.
Lin Ping not only put the iron pot on the table, but also the charcoal. Luckily, there was a stone slab underneath, otherwise the table would have caught fire.
"Of course, it's about making delicious food!" Lin Ping said mysteriously.
Jiang Yunying had seen this spectacle before, and her mouth immediately watered.
Not long after, Old Man Qin hurriedly returned, carrying five jin of mutton and five jin of beef in his hands.
"Young hero, you've done my Qin family a great favor. This old man hasn't even had a chance to show his appreciation." Old Man Qin smiled confidently, clearly preparing a lavish meal.
"Father is a famous chef, Brother Lin, just wait to enjoy the delicious food," Qin Bao'er said expectantly.
There was enough beef and mutton for Old Man Qin to make six dishes, all of which were substantial.
She is in poor health and should take some nourishment.
"Please sit down, Mr. Qin. Let me show you my skills," Lin Ping said with a smile as he accepted the beef and mutton.
"Don't you trust my cooking skills?" Old Qin was a little annoyed.
He may not have any other skills, but when it comes to cooking, he is second to none. If it weren't for his delicious food, his little shop would have closed down long ago.
Lin Ping placed the beef and mutton on the cutting board, took a cleaver, first cut the large pieces of meat into long strips, and then sliced them into thin slices little by little.
"This is probably thinner than a leaf!" Old Qin was extremely shocked. He was certain that his knife skills were no match for Lin Ping's.
This is not surprising, as Lin Ping is a martial arts expert and naturally knows some knife skills. If the beef and mutton are frozen in advance, he can slice them even thinner.
"What can you make with such thin slices of beef and mutton?" Old Qin asked, puzzled.
In his opinion, beef and mutton are only flavorful when eaten in large quantities.
Lin Ping's knife skills were quite proficient; he quickly turned ten pounds of beef and mutton into thin slices.
Meanwhile, the cold water in the iron pot had already boiled, and the whole room was filled with a strong heat.
Lin Ping put the star anise, scallion segments, and bay leaves he had prepared in advance into the pot, and then added a large handful of millet peppers, which was also an unexpected bonus for him this afternoon.
Although many of the dishes at Yipinju require chili peppers, and the millet peppers are not fresh at all in Huai'an Prefecture, Lin Ping bought them from the monkeys in Nanyue and they have not yet been promoted to the Sichuan and Chongqing region.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. The Sichuan and Chongqing region is where the tradition of chili peppers has been passed down.
Before long, the bright red chili oil spread out in the boiling water, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.
"What is this?" Old Man Qin asked in confusion.
"These are chili peppers; we'll need them in the future." Lin Ping had already planned out the direction for future development.
He wants to make Sichuan and Chongqing a true hot pot capital and the birthplace of chili peppers.
Watching Lin Ping keep putting slices of beef and mutton into the pot, Old Man Qin stopped him again, "You haven't added pepper yet! The gamey smell will be too strong!"
China has a long history of eating beef and mutton, but the problem of removing the gamey smell has always existed.
It wasn't until the introduction of pepper that beef and mutton gradually became delicious dishes.
In Qin Laohan's opinion, Lin Ping didn't know how to cook at all.
"Chili peppers can also remove the gamey smell, and they're even more effective than black pepper!" Lin Ping said mysteriously.
