Chapter 63 Kung Pao Chicken

Chapter 63 Kung Pao Chicken

Liu Mengmeng and Xiao Wen hid aside and watched Jiang Shuyuan walk out of the room, holding their breath nervously. Jiang Shuyuan seemed not to notice their whereabouts and walked straight to the garden of the Imperial College.

"What should we do now?" Xiao Wen asked in a low voice.

Liu Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow her quietly and see where she's going. Maybe we can find some clues."

The two men followed Jiang Shuyuan carefully and saw her walk into the depths of the garden where there was a small pavilion. Not long after she entered, a man walked in.

Liu Mengmeng and Xiao Wen looked at each other in surprise. They knew the man, a student of the Imperial College named Chen Yixuan, who had met Jiang Shuyuan several times.

"Let's move closer quietly and listen to what they are saying," Liu Mengmeng suggested.

The two approached the pavilion cautiously, and heard Jiang Shuyuan say, "Brother Chen, the rumors you helped me spread were quite effective. Jiang Zhiyu seems to have restrained herself a lot recently."

Chen Yixuan smiled and replied: "Jiang Shuyuan, don't worry, I will continue to help you keep an eye on her. But why are you targeting her?"

Jiang Shuyuan sneered: "She is just a bastard girl, how dare she show off her talent in front of me? I just want to let her know who is the real protagonist in this Imperial College."

Liu Mengmeng and Xiao Wen were furious when they heard this. They knew that Jiang Shuyuan's behavior had violated the rules of the Imperial College, so they decided to inform Zou Ting and others immediately.

After returning to the Imperial College, Liu Mengmeng and Xiao Wen told Zou Ting and others everything they had heard. After hearing this, everyone expressed anger and decided to take immediate action to expose Jiang Shuyuan's lies.

Zou Ting and others decided to publicly question Jiang Shuyuan in the Imperial Academy. On that day, the atmosphere in the academy was tense, and the students were talking about it, waiting for the show to begin.

Jiang Shuyuan walked into the classroom and saw Zou Ting and others sitting in the front. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She forced herself to stay calm and sat down in her seat.

Zou Ting stood up, stared at Jiang Shuyuan with a sharp gaze, and said, "Jiang Shuyuan, do you know that your behavior has violated the rules of the Imperial College?"

Jiang Shuyuan's face changed, and she argued: "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything."

Liu Mengmeng stood up and told everyone what they heard in the garden. Jiang Shuyuan's face became paler and paler. She didn't expect that her plan would be discovered by Liu Mengmeng and Xiao Wen.

Zou Ting sneered, "Jiang Shuyuan, you have destroyed the harmony of the Imperial College and damaged the friendship between classmates. Now, you must pay the price for what you have done."

Jiang Shuyuan knew she couldn't defend herself, and tears started to flow. She whispered, "I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

When the teachers of the Imperial College learned about this, they decided to give Jiang Shuyuan a disciplinary punishment of probation as a warning.

"I really miss the days of drinking milk tea, eating ice cream and barbecue." Liu Mengmeng looked at the food in the Imperial College cafeteria and felt it was bland.

Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly, and looked at Liu Mengmeng with a look of deep sympathy in his eyes: "Yes, modern food is really nostalgic. The food here always feels like something is missing."

Xiao Wen frowned and suddenly suggested: "Why don't we try to make some modern delicacies here? Although the conditions are limited, maybe we can find some substitutes."

Liu Mengmeng's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands excitedly, "What a great idea! I can be responsible for developing the recipes, and everyone can help find the ingredients." Qi Zimo smiled slightly, with a gleam of wit in his eyes, "Then we have to be careful and not let the gentlemen of the Imperial College find out. After all, this is ancient times, and our modern practices may cause unnecessary trouble."

Zhang Anjie nodded and continued, "That's right. We can do it at night and try not to attract other people's attention. By the way, who will be responsible for cooking?"

Hu Jiahong puffed out his chest confidently: "Leave this task to me! I am a master chef in modern times, and I believe I can also perform well here."

Xu Guokun touched his chin and suggested, "Then we need to make a list of ingredients first and see what substitutes we can find here. For example, our modern seasonings may not be available here."

Kang Yining patted his head and said, "Oh, I remember there is a market near the Imperial College. We can see if there are any suitable ingredients there."

Liao Zhen suggested: "Then let's split into two groups. One group will go to the market to buy ingredients, and the other group will stay in the Imperial College to study recipes. Jiang Zhiyu, Liu Mengmeng and I will go to the market, and the rest of us will stay in the Imperial College."

Hu Jiahong nodded in agreement: "Good idea. Then we will do it in the kitchen of the Imperial College tonight and try to keep it quiet."

As night fell, the Imperial College was completely silent. Liu Mengmeng and the others quietly returned to the Imperial College and carefully moved the purchased ingredients into the kitchen. Zou Ting and Hu Jiahong were already busy in the kitchen, preparing to cook.

Liu Mengmeng unfolded the cookbook in her hand and said excitedly, "I found a modern stir-fry recipe. We can try to make it with the ingredients here. Although the taste may be different, we should still be able to taste roughly the same."

Zhang Anjie asked curiously: "What kind of dish is it?"

Liu Mengmeng smiled and replied, "Kung Pao Chicken. You should be able to find chicken and peanuts here, but the seasoning needs to be slightly adjusted."

While cutting vegetables, Hu Jiahong said, "It's okay, I will try to make the taste as close as possible. By the way, the pots and stoves here are a little different from modern ones, so we have to slowly explore them."

Xu Guokun looked at Hu Jiahong's skilled operation and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It's really well hidden."

Kang Yining smiled and said: "That's because we modern people always have some unexpected talents."

Time passed by, and the kitchen was filled with tempting aroma. Jiang Zhiyu and others couldn't help swallowing their saliva and looked at Hu Jiahong expectantly.

Finally, the Kung Pao Chicken was ready. Hu Jiahong carefully brought the dish to the table, and everyone gathered around. Liu Mengmeng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, with a surprised expression on her face: "Wow, the taste is so similar!"

Zou Ting also tasted it and nodded in praise: "It's really good. Although the taste is slightly different, it's already a very good try."

Xiao Wen smiled and said, "It seems that we modern people can also find our own fun here."

Liao Zhen suggested: "Should we try other modern delicacies next? For example, hot pot, barbecue, spicy hot pot..."

Qi Zimo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's make this Kung Pao Chicken first, and then slowly try other delicacies. After all, we still have a long time here, so there is no need to rush."
