The main character of this chapter: Walnut

"You have discovered this, but we are not that cunning. Although we have a certain advantage in speed, which is what we want, I don't plan to use this to defeat you."

As he spoke, Ye Luo took out a few plants, namely Sichuan pepper, Jueyun pepper, cumin and spice fruit.

The treasure-stealing group was immediately dumbfounded, and pointed at Ye Luo and stammered: "Boss, he...they have condiments, but we don't..."

The leader of the treasure-stealing group immediately criticized: "This is not fair. Where did you get the seasoning? We have nothing. What should we do?"

Ye Luo smiled slyly: "This depends on your own ability. Both of us came here empty-handed, but we found the seasoning. If you find something that is beneficial to you, you can use it as well!"

"Besides, I'm giving you a chance."

Upon hearing Ye Luo's words, the leader of the treasure-stealing group was furious: "You're still giving us a chance?"

"Yes, you see, these are not condiments that can be used directly. They are still in plant form. I need to process them into the parts that can be used as condiments. Doesn't it take a lot of time to grind them?"

"Isn't the time we wasted enough for you to do a lot of things? Isn't this also beneficial to you?"

Hanhan scratched his head and said to the leader of the treasure-stealing group, "Boss, I think what he said is right."

The leader of the treasure-stealing group pushed him away: "Stop talking! You're the only one who knows!"

Ye Luo advised: "Don't complain. If I were you and had so much time, I would quickly go and find everything I need to find."

The leader of the treasure-stealing group immediately started to make arrangements: "Everyone, go out together. Those who need to find firewood, find firewood. Those who need to find condiments, find condiments. Those who need to start a fire, start a fire. Hurry!"

On this side, Ye Luo and Shen He had already started grinding the seasonings. After picking out the plants, they picked up a slightly flat stone and started smashing it together, one person at a time, taking turns, at a very fast speed.

Shen He asked, "Young Master Ye Luo, if they really win, are you really going to let these bad guys who steal for a living go as if you didn't see them?"

"I can't just sit there and watch them do evil. But I don't want to start a big fight with them and then send them to jail. I don't know what kind of unexpected situation will happen if I fight with them."

"So what I have to do is to win the last game and make them lose sincerely."

"By that time, we will have at least a 50% chance of getting them to be sent to Yujingtai willingly."

"Of course, if the situation changes and we encounter a different situation, it won't be too late for us to go to war with them again. It will just be a waste of some time to compete with them."

"With you here, there's no way we'll let them escape so easily."

A smile appeared on Shen He's cold face: "Do you believe me then?"

Ye Luo also smiled and said, "Miss Shen He's martial arts skills are superb, there is no doubt about that."

Shen He nodded: "Okay, for your trust, I will stay by your side until the last moment."

The two smiled at each other: "Thank you for your support, Miss Shen He..."

The work of both parties was proceeding in full swing. After a period of time, the progress of both parties seemed different because they were carrying out different tasks, but in the end, the completion time was roughly the same.

When the two grilled fish were placed in front of everyone, the result could actually be roughly seen.

On Ye Luo and Shen He's side, a fish was roasted whole to just the right degree of heat. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With the addition of various condiments, the aroma overflowed, making people salivate at the sight.

As for the treasure-stealing group, they were too anxious to start the fire at the beginning and did not find enough firewood, which resulted in poor control of the fire.

After hard adjustments, the heat was finally set just right, but the fish was still slightly roasted with flaws. Although it was not bad, it was obviously a little worse than Ye Luo's.

In addition, they were looking for seasonings in the snow and ice, and without Ye Luo's ability, it was impossible for them to find any.

Finally, the results are clear at a glance.

On Ye Luo and Shen He's side, the grilled fish was delicious and fragrant.

On the treasure-stealing team's side, the fish is purely grilled, with its original flavor, without a single additive, and the skin is even a little burnt.

Ye Luo looked at the distorted expressions of the treasure-stealing group and couldn't help laughing: "I say, everyone, the result is obvious at a glance."

"Boss, have we... lost..."

The leader of the treasure-stealing gang certainly didn't want to admit that he had lost, but facing the current situation, he was powerless to defend himself.

"We can't just look at the surface of things. Who says that burnt food must be bad? Who says that original food must be bad? I'm asking for a fair judge to inspect the goods."

Ye Luo said: "It's the middle of the night, and the snow is howling. Apart from us, where can we find another fair and just referee?"

But on second thought, Ye Luo really thought of someone.

The group traveled all the way, escorting the two grilled fish, and finally arrived at the shore north of Wangshu Inn.

Sure enough, under the double cover of night and heavy snow, there was actually a person fishing there quietly.

Ye Luo approached cautiously: "Hero Jiang Xue, it's me."

Jiang Xue closed her eyes and responded, "Young Master Ye Luo, I heard a large group of you coming from a distance. Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Ye Luo praised generously: "You can feel us coming even with your eyes closed, you are really an expert."

Jiang Xue waved her hand: "I can't say I'm an expert, but I smell the smell of grilled fish. I've experienced the fish you grilled before, and it's still fresh in my memory."

"What a coincidence! We are really here to treat you to grilled fish this time. Look!"

Afterwards, Shen He and the leader of the treasure-stealing group each brought a plate of fish.

"Master Jiang Xue, please try and see which fish tastes better."

Jiang Xue took the two plates of fish in astonishment: "You invited me to eat fish for no apparent reason. You didn't poison it, did you?"

Ye Luo said: "What are you talking about? We are old acquaintances. What's wrong with inviting you to eat fish? But it's not for nothing. You have to evaluate it objectively and pick out the better one from the two."

Jiang Xue nodded: "Ah, so you want something from me, that makes sense, in that case, I'll give it a try."

Jiang Xue didn't waste any time and started tasting the food. He first ate the fish grilled by the treasure-stealing group. After taking a bite, he frowned and said, "It's burnt, isn't it? Isn't this a waste?"

Then he took another bite of the one roasted by Ye Luo, his brows relaxed: "This is not bad, the meat is delicate and tender, and the seasoning is also sufficient. This is at the level of your previous ones."

Ye Luo looked at the uneasy treasure-hunting group: "So what you mean is..."

Jiang Xue naturally preferred the second type: "If you want to say which one is more delicious, it must be the second type. It's not burnt and tastes good. This is what grilled fish should be like."
