"Everyone, take a rest!" The host also wiped his sweat and waved his hand, and several handymen came up to clean up the mess on the stage and clean up the blood.
Everyone got up and left the table, moving to the banquet hall on the third floor to prepare for lunch.
I saw Hu Bai pushing a small cart. There were five kinds of dishes on the cart - yellow croaker with watercress, stewed tofu with minced meat, braised pig's feet, crispy roast duck, and stir-fried vegetables. But there were two plates of the same dish, a total of ten plate.
Hu Bai pushed the trolley to Li Mi's table and said confidently: "Brother Li, of these ten dishes, five are made by Hu Bai and five are made by Chef Huang. There is a note under the plate. Please try it and uncover it." Open the plate and see if Hu Bai's cooking is delicious."
Li Mi nodded and said, "This is interesting!"
Two members of the Shenwu Hall behind Li Mi came up quickly, took out the silver needle from his waist, washed it and wiped it dry in a cup of water, and quickly tested the ten dishes. After confirming that they were non-toxic, they took back the silver needle and retreated to Behind Li Mi.
Wei Jing saw him from a distance and murmured a few times, thinking that Li Mi was very well guarded and even had special personnel to inspect his meals, otherwise he might be able to poison him by borrowing some weird potion from Bei Xiaolu.
Li Mi grabbed the chopsticks and tasted every dish. He quickly pointed at the plate and shouted: "This plate is better, this plate is better..."
He put the silver spoon on the dish that he thought was more delicious and called to his back: "Bring Chef Huang."
The men received the order and immediately brought Chef Huang up.
The guests still didn't know what Li Mi was doing, so they expected Chef Huang to watch the announcement. Unexpectedly, Li Mi said: "Chef Huang, yesterday a fool said that if his cooking is not as delicious as yours, he will break his fingers. But I don't think it is satisfying enough. You two are fair and square. Whoever loses will break his fingers."
All the guests were shocked. Li Mi had already lifted the yellow croaker with watercress on the silver spoon, and underneath a square piece of red paper were written three elegant black characters - "Food wins the day".
"So, you made this dish of bad food." Li Mi opened another plate of Douban yellow croaker, and underneath was a note that read "Dayang Mansion".
Chef Huang's face was ashen and he was trembling all over. He didn't dare to look at the other dishes carefully. After all, he recognized the dishes he cooked.
"Gang Leader Li, this... Chef Huang doesn't have to break his fingers. Just break them when I lose." Hu Bai was also surprised. He didn't expect that Chef Huang would be involved, but he felt sorry for it.
Li Mi said, "Hu Bai, if you win more, you will be the chef at the Divine Weapon Conference three years later. No, you will also be responsible for my daily meals at Chuangtianmen General Altar."
Hu Bai laughed and said, "Gang Leader Li, this is Hu Bai's honor. As for Chef Huang, how about letting him retire first?"
"Tell him to stand down?" Li Mi picked up the spoon of minced meat and stewed tofu - Shishengtian. Li Mi frowned and said, "Look, it's you who wins again. If you ask him to step back, how can I watch someone break his fingers?"
While Li Mi was talking, he suddenly turned around and angrily scolded the two gang members: "You still don't give in -"
All the guests held their breath when they saw the thin and old Chef Huang, having one of the helpers support his shoulders, and another one of the helpers broke his hands and broke two of his fingers one after another.
Chef Huang's wail suddenly sounded. Hu Bai's eyes widened. He looked at the remaining plates, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Gang Leader Li, please stop opening it. Hu Bai recognizes the dishes he cooked. The other three plates are mine." Lost."
When Hu Bai said this, he bent three fingers without even frowning.
"What do you mean?" Li Mi groaned, and opened the braised pig's feet with a silver spoon. It was a feast for the eyes, followed by crispy roast duck and stir-fried vegetables, which were a feast for the eyes.
Hu Bai looked stunned and could only watch as Chef Huang passed out after having his other three fingers bent.
Most of the guests in the banquet hall suddenly lost all their appetites and looked at Li Min's hair in shock.
Wei Jing clenched his fist so tightly that his veins were about to burst;
Gongsun Yao closed his eyes and gradually became calmer and more determined.
************
The same drama was staged for several days in a row, with guests evaluating various weapons, interspersed with some fighting scenes, and eating delicacies.
Since the two Wei Jianzhuangs were both guests at the judging panel, Wei Changqing and Wei Kailai were previous winners, so they did not participate in the preliminary test and only had to wait for the final eight before appearing.
But in this way, the long initial trial of the Divine Weapons Association seemed to have lost its luster.
Even so, the preparatory staff for the Divine Weapon Conference also came up with various tricks. In addition to the official weapons for the competition, the two Wei families each provided dozens of well-cast Wei family swords, or sent students to compete with the swords. Or you can ask a master of the Heavenly Gate to do it for you, interspersed with the long preliminary test, as the daily finale.
"Wei heard that Gang Leader Li acquired a Western swordsman a year ago who was good at thrusting with a sharp sword. He took up the post of deputy master as soon as he entered the Shenwu Hall. Wei made a unique sword for him and presented it to Gang Leader Li ." Wei Changqing spoke loudly before the sword competition began.
Yesterday was the three-day repair and casting period for Wei Kailai's purple gold sword. Li Mi remembered this and sent someone to take out the nine-ring sword that had been captured in advance, and asked two sword masters to compete again.
Wei Changqing's nine-ring sword only took one day to make. Although it looks like new, it is not as good as Wei Kailai's three-day craftsmanship. Not only did he repair the chip on the purple gold sword, but he also added more plating to it. Tough edge.
After dozens of rounds of fighting between the two swords, they stopped fighting at the command, placed them on two sandalwood knife stands, and brought them to the judging table for everyone to evaluate.
Wei Changqing's nine-ring sword was naturally much broken, and several silver rings had been shaved off.
Everyone took Wei Changqing's face into consideration, so although they didn't judge him, their expressions gave Wei Kailai a win.
Wei Kailai didn't say anything, he just humbly claimed that he had taken advantage of him for three days, and praised his brother's beautiful silver ring.
Wei Changqing was naturally annoyed.
On this day, he desperately wanted to regain his face. With a move of his hand, two students from the sword village brought up a thin jujube-colored wooden tube, opened the lid of the tube, and took out a thin sword covered with purple cloth.
"Ah! Ah!" Li Mi saw the red-orange color flashing in the silver light of the rapier, and felt unbearable. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the blond and blue-eyed deputy master of Shenwu Hall.
Li Mi waved his hand, pointed at the sword, and shouted loudly: "Qingyan, Teacher Wei gave you the sword, and if you don't pick it up, show it to me!"
The blond, blue-eyed, thin deputy hall leader responded in a low voice, jumped up, and with the speed of a flying bird, he was in front of the two Wei family students. He took the sword respectfully, and felt that the sword was bright and beautiful, and there was a faint glow on the sword. murderous look.
"Qingyan'er, don't just look at it for yourself, I want to see it too!" Li Mi urged loudly, waiting for Qingyan'er to take the sword back, grab it in his hand and appreciate it carefully.
The rapier sword is three feet long and has a unique shape. The sword's hand guard is a round seat. On the round seat are several green snakes. The green snakes are entangled and extending upward. The longest snake straightens its body and holds something in its mouth. The blade of the rapier is only half an inch wide and extremely sharp.
The ratio of the sword body to the snake body is about two to one, that is, the sword body is two feet and the snake body is one foot.
"Why is it so weird?" Li Mi tilted his head, unable to see the mystery of the rapier. He called in other sword masters to watch it together. Those with sharper eyes could see that the sword was skillfully made.
It turned out that the deputy master of Shenwu Hall, who was called "Qingyan'er", was best at stabbing with a thin sword. He carried a thin sword with him, which was shaped like a thin round pointed cone. It only had a tip but no blade.
Wei Changqing forged this thin sword with an extremely sharp edge and a long snake coiled underneath, but it had another function.
The slender snake holding the sword in its mouth is extremely tough and can be bent at any angle. Its function is to remove the shock force when chopping.
Therefore, the rapier is not only good at thrusting, but can also chop. The sharp blade can cut flesh and break bones. When used with a long sword, it has the toughness of a whip and is not easy to break.
"Qingyan'er, you are playing, you are playing!" Li Mi handed the sword back to Qingyan'er and asked him to go and play on the stage.
Naturally, Qing Yan'er was not called "Qing Yan'er", but Li Mi couldn't remember his foreign name, so he just called him "Qing Yan'er" and "Qing Yan'er". Over time, "Qing Yan'er" became the blond and blue-eyed deputy of Shenwu Hall. The hall leader has a nickname, and even the other brothers in the gang call him that. Following Li Mi's order, he nodded slightly and flew onto the stage.
Wei Changqing clapped his hands lightly, Wei Zhongyun and Wei Zhiqian were holding lacquered wooden swords, and the eight students behind them divided into two teams and stood up.
The eight students all wore facial masks to hide the swelling on their faces from bee stings. Four of them held double wooden swords and four carried a basket of red eggs on their backs.
This formation of ten people seemed to have been practicing for a long time. They quickly ran onto the stage and stood on the edge of the platform.
