Everyone was surprised by the taste of the food, they began to understand why Xiao Xi and Fang Luoyang would visit her friend. If they could eat this type of food always, they would also make a daily visit.
Even the cooks were surprised by the taste of food, like people who have been in this business for tens or hundreds of years, they understand the taste better than many people, but the taste they felt this time was something they had never tasted rather, it made some of them feel motivated to try to create new dishes based on Liu Yang's dishes.
Everyone was having fun and smiling while they ate the food until someone made a comment.
"This food may be good, but it is far from enough to please the palate of this young master, I admire the princess and Miss Fang for liking this kind of food"
The person spoke with an extremely arrogant tone, looking towards this person, they saw a young man with ordinary appearance, he seemed to be around 20 - 25 years old, his name was Xiao Huan, he is grandson of a grand elders of the Xiao clan, his father never had high talents for combat, but he had business vision, so his father took care of some business of the clan, and his mother was a common woman of an ordinary family.
His parents fell in love at first sight when they met, is the grandson of one of the grand elders of the clan, Xiao Huang was quite arrogant, he hated the fact that his mother was a common and humble background. Whenever anyone talked about it, he felt humiliated.
He was one of Fang Luoyang's admirers, he hoped to marry her, but his achievements were rather mediocre, so it never caught the attention of the matriarch or Fang Luoyang. When he heard the news that Fang Luoyang was engaged to someone else, he was extremely jealous and envious, he wanted to kill that man.
"Xiao Huang, how can you tell this to the princess and to Miss Fang?" Another person spoke up.
"What's the problem?? I'm just talking, these foods that are on the table, are only for mortals and do not help us at all, "Xiao Huang replied.
Xiao Huang's words were true, ordinary food, it was just something that mortals eat, for those who trained and level up, that kind of food was useless. Because it only got the feeling of hunger and did not help to regain some status.
The foods that those fighting and leveling were all made from the meat of some sort of wild beast, this type of food had special effects like recovering HP, MP or Stamina faster, it increased basic statistics, and among other effects.
In the Nine Worlds, mortals were not just humans, but all those who were level 9 or below, and had no class, regardless of race. Those who fulfilled these requirements would be called mortals.
"Yes, this is true, this kind of food is good only for mortals," another commented.
The place was divided between those who supported the matriarch and those who were against, the rest were those who wanted a favor from one side, so each chose one.
"I see, does anyone else think this way?" Xiao Xi looked at those who were sitting at the table eating with sharp eyes.
"I"
"Me too"
"I".
...
About sixty percent of the hall agreed on the words of Xiao Huang. Looking at this scene, Xiao Xi knew that her mother was having a lot of trouble staying in power within the clan.
"I see, those who agree with Xiao Huang can finish eating the meal. Those who find it does not matter whether the food is for mortals or not, as long as it is delicious, anyone can enjoy it. "Xiao Xi's voice was firm, even though she knew she might be at a disadvantage over her opponent.
"I agree with the words of the princess"
"Me too"
"I also agree with the young miss's words"
...
The other forty percent agreed with Xiao Xi's words, that made her satisfied, despite being less than half the whole group, it was still a considerable amount.
"I thank those who agree with my words, as thanksgiving, I will introduce you to something that is eaten after the meal. From what my friend's husband said, it's called pudding. "Xiao Xi's voice seemed anxious because she also never tasted it.
Xiao Xi took out a large wooden box, there was cold smoke coming out of the box. When she opened the box, everyone could see a yellow thing the size of a fist, it was an ordinary pudding that Liu Yang had made with some ingredients he bought along the way.
Taking out a pudding for the forty percent of the hall and also for the cooks, because she wanted the cooks to be able to replicate this in the future.
The side of Xiao Huang was looking at that little yellow piece called pudding with doubts because they have never seen something like this before.
The moment the group supporting Xiao Xi ate the first piece, they began to scream in frenzy.
"Delicious!!"
"It's very delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten !!"
"It's sweet and melts in the mouth !!"
"Delicious, extremely delicious !!"
...
Hearing these shouts of satisfaction, Xiao Huang's group began to salivate, they also wanted to taste such a pudding, but they knew they could not because they are on the side of Xiao Huang. If they changed sides now, it would be extremely shameful.
"Young master, this person who made this dish called pudding is a culinary genius. The ingredients for making such a pudding are all simple, but the way he combined these ingredients was brilliant. "One of the cooks told Xiao Huang that made him want to eat too, but he had to resist because it would be a big slap on his own face, for he would be coming back with his own words.
Xiao Xi waited for everyone to eat the pudding to start talking.
"I believe you have understood the value of this item, although it is just an ordinary food with no effect, it is still quite delicious, so I believe we can not judge just whether the food was made for us or for mortals, if the food is delicious, everyone can eat "
Xiao Xi's words left the cooks happy because for them it did not matter what kind of food it was, as long as it was good and made with love for the cook's job, they would all respect.
The side that supported Xiao Xi began to say words of support to Xiao Xi after her little speech. Xiao Huang's face was dark because he lost face at that moment, he wanted to leave at that very moment, but he knew he would have to wait.
"I thank everyone for savoring the food of my friend's husband, now you know why I like to eat with her. What's more, I recommended that he start making mystical dishes, so I hope everyone does not have any mischievous thoughts about the couple. "Xiao Xi created some lies to try to ward off the thought of some about Liu Yang and Xinyue, her last words were threats.
Everyone understood what she meant by those last words, anyone who hurt them both, will suffer severe consequences.
Xiao Huang had his fists tightly closed because he had the thought of recruiting Liu Yang for his group but realized that Xiao Xi already recruited him, it left him with envy and jealousy. He no longer liked Xiao Xi because she was the daughter of the matriarch who was the leader of the clan, and also because she was very close to Fang Luoyang, he saw her as a rival to achieve it.
"Big sister, come on" Xiao Xi called the silent Fang Luoyang, the two began to leave the place and went towards the courtyard of Xiao Xi.
"Yes"
The two women left the hall under the glares of envy and jealousy of Xiao Huang's group.
Xiao Xi did this just because she was angry with Xiao Huang and those who agreed with him, as these people were mocking her husband. Other people could not do this, only her, her parents and the other wives who could speak ill of Liu Yang. She wanted to teach them a little lesson. If it were not for these insults to Liu Yang's food, Xiao Xi would have given the pudding to everyone
