The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Xue Shao said in a gentle voice: "We are from the underworld, and we came to find the boss purely to go to Wangyue Island.

We have a great grudge against the Japanese pirates on Moon-Watching Island. Last year, they came ashore and killed many of our people. We would be unworthy if we did not take revenge, so please lead us to Moon-Watching Island."

Xue Shao raised two fingers and said, "I can guarantee that as long as the boss leads us to Wangyue Island, we can release you and your people. Otherwise..."

His face turned cold, and he said softly: "Then we can only send the boss and your people to the Navy Office. Of course, they may not be able to find out your names and origins, but with so many people, if we take them to various villages, we will definitely meet acquaintances. Then..."

Xue Shao hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was very clear.

Wu Dahai's face changed, he lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

He had also heard about the Japanese pirates landing last year. He had cursed the navy office and the imperial court at the time, thinking that they only took money but did nothing, and actually allowed the Japanese pirates to bypass so many checkpoints and massacre the village.

He never expected that this incident would affect him.

Wu Dahai cursed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said, "I don't know what Wangyue Island is."

The regret on Xue Shao's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes were cold: "Boss, although I am only a scholar, I am familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The laws of the Ming Dynasty say that if you collude with foreign enemies and invade the country, you should exterminate all your clans!"

Wu Dahai's heart tightened, and he immediately retorted: "I have no collusion with those pirates."

"Really? Then why did you hide the pirates?"

Wu Dahai's face flushed: "I'm hiding..."

Xue Shao looked at him with a half-smile: "If you can't get the location of Wangyue Island, then we say you are hiding, and that means you are hiding."

Wu Dahai remained silent, he knew Xue Shao and the others could do it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Shao went out with a sea chart, and Pan Yun and the others followed him happily: "You are indeed a scholar."

Xue Shao remained silent, handed the sea chart to Zhang Ning, pointed to the small circle drawn on it and said, "He said it's here, I asked him to get on the boat and travel with us."

Zhang Ning: "Did he agree?"

"agreed."

Zhang Ning asked Tao Yanbai: "Can he get to the island and get out of the boat alive?"

Tao Yanbai considered, "As long as he is not tortured again and given two bowls of medicine a day, he should be fine as he is used to life at sea."

Zhang Ning immediately decided to take Wu Dahai on board and set off early the next morning.

Zhang Ning sent someone to pass on the message: "Cook, have a good meal tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning!"

They were a group of quacks, and with limited supplies on the island, they cooked steamed rice and grilled fish at best.

After eating dry food for a day and a night, everyone was hungry and greedy, so they searched the entire island and decided to kill all the chickens on the island.

Pan Yun picked up a slaughtered chicken, placed it on the chopping board and started chopping it. After chopping, he threw it into a large basin. There were already seven chicken heads in the basin.

Miaozhen brought over the washed radish.

She picked up one at random and quickly swept the chopped radish into another large basin.

Miaozhen brought a large pot of chicken into the kitchen and poured it into the big pot with a splash.

Tao Yanbai started stir-frying immediately, added water after a while, covered the pot and started stewing.

When the water boils, Tao Yanbai throws various things into it.

There were sour wild fruits picked from the island, a handful of wild grass, and a handful of Sichuan peppercorns that came from nowhere.

The heroes who were cooking rice, grilling fish, and making other dishes nearby were stunned and couldn't help asking, "Is this edible?"

Tao Yanbai glanced at the dishes in their hands and said gently, "I think ours will taste better than yours."

The heroes were incredulous: "We have acquired these skills after years of wandering around the world. How old are you? How come you are better than us?" Pan Jun: "Do you have to learn how to cook when you are wandering around the world?"

"Of course. If we don't practice our skills, we will starve to death." The other party said, "We can't always find an inn or restaurant."

Pan Yun was very competitive, and she was not willing to lag behind even in cooking, so she said, "We are different from you. You were forced to travel the world, but we had to do housework since we were young. We learned to cook since we could walk."

Tao Yanbai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes!"

After they said this, the heroes began to look forward to their dish, which made Tao Yanbai feel pressured.

Pan Yun didn't care. While pouring a large bowl of radishes into the pot, he whispered, "Don't worry, it won't taste bad."

Tao Yanbai looked at the chicken and radish mixed together in the pot and felt a little worried.

Pan Yun pulled out a salt shaker from somewhere and sprinkled handfuls of salt into the water, saying, "There are two extremely fat chickens in there. Didn't I peel off the fat for you to refine?"

"Yes, it's all in the pot."

"That's it. With meat, oil, and enough salt, it won't taste bad no matter how you cook it."

Tao Yanbai immediately grabbed Pan Yun's hand that was sprinkling salt, opened his mouth slightly, and whispered: "Uncle Junior Master, put the salt in later..."

Pan Yun paused for a moment and said, "It's okay. I've already put the seasoning in."

Tao Yanbai: “…too much.”

Pan Yun was silent for a moment and then said, "Just add some water."

Miao He, a permanent staff member in the kitchen of Sanqingshan, interrupted, "You can't add cold water."

Pan Yun immediately said, "Wait, I'll go get you some hot water."

She went out for a walk and soon found boiling water in a large pot in the open air.

Pan Yun brought a basin and filled it with hot water.

The man holding the wooden basin opened his mouth, and waited until she walked away proudly with her little head held high before he dared to whisper, "This is the water for killing pigs..."

There were two very small pigs on the island. The heroes unanimously decided that it would be difficult for them to survive on the island without the pirates' food, so they decided to kill and eat them as well.

Pan Jun poured the boiling water into the pot. This time she knew to follow orders and poured it slowly. She stopped when Tao Yanbai told her to.

Tao Yanbai and Miao He discussed it for a while and both agreed that the water should be added slowly, so they added half of it first. When the radish was cooked soft and the soup was concentrated, he took a sip and poured the rest of the hot water in, brought it to a boil, and stirred it again.

The chicken soup, which was originally so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve, became a thick chicken soup and filled four large bowls.

Pan Yun picked up a piece of chicken and tasted it, nodding and saying, "Delicious!"

Tao Yanbai and Miaohe looked at her quietly.

Pan Yun smiled at the two of them ingratiatingly: "Although it's still a little salty, it's just right when mixed with rice."

It’s true that this dish is one of the most popular ones. The chicken is tasty, sweet and slightly sour, and the fishy smell is well removed. The radish is even more delicious, although it is a bit salty, but it is just right to eat with rice, especially the soup mixed with rice. They can eat three big bowls.

The group of starving heroes unanimously agreed that this was the most delicious dish of the night.

Everyone praised Pan Yun's four nephews: "I didn't expect that Taoist Sanzhu is not only good at martial arts, but also good at cooking. We are really far behind him."

If the person who said this hadn't been so sincere, Pan Jun would have thought he was mocking them.

But seeing that their dishes were eaten up first, she believed it, so she became happy and pretended to be modest: "No, no, but my three nephews are indeed good cooks."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning immediately handed over the management of the kitchen on the ship to his four nephews.

The smile on Pan Yun's face froze: "Kitchen?" (End of this chapter)
