The staff said, "Team A has completed the task first, and now it’s time to handle the ingredients, everyone, keep it up!"

The usually gentle staff even specially cheered for Team B’s members, who all followed Su Yu with a look of grievance to find a local chef and went to the kitchen.

Team A’s members also headed to the kitchen.

The lamb had already been prepared, so Team A’s members just needed to decide how to eat it.

Just as Qin Yun was about to follow them into the kitchen, Pei Yan blocked her outside.

Pei Yan turned and said, "You just sit here and handle the peppers, ginger, scallions, and garlic for us."

Now, she wasn’t even allowed to enter the kitchen.

Qin Yun thought about the discomfort she felt when she saw the fish being prepared and promptly nodded, "Okay."

Pei Yan brought a small stool for Qin Yun to sit at the door and handed her a piece of fruit.

Qin Yun, nibbling on the fruit, leisurely handled the ingredient seasonings, as the warm sunshine bathed her with extra comfort.

Before long, Pei Yan called out from inside, "Yunyun."

Upon hearing him, Qin Yun immediately stood up and headed towards the kitchen, with the aroma of lamb hitting her face.

Pei Yan, wearing a black apron and holding a large spatula, turned to look at Qin Yun.

"Give me the peppers."

He waved his hand, and Qin Yun walked in with the peppers, handed them to him, and he casually chopped them before adding them to the lamb.

"Is this being braised?" Qin Yun gazed eagerly at the big pot, her mouth practically watering.

"Want to try? It just came out of the pressure cooker."

Pei Yan picked up some tender lamb with chopsticks and directly placed it into Qin Yun’s mouth.

The tender and fragrant lamb made Qin Yun squint with joy, nodding repeatedly, "Delicious."

Pei Yan picked up more pieces for her, pointing to a nearby stool, "Go eat over there."

Obediently, Qin Yun took her bowl over, finishing a full bowl of meat in a few bites; she sighed comfortably, casually rubbing her still-flat stomach.

Pei Yan was reducing the sauce, becoming more adept at cooking, especially with such a big pot, which he handled with ease.

Li Ning was by the master, grilling lamb, the scent of cumin and Sichuan pepper drifting over, driving Qin Yun restless.

She stood up and walked over to Li Ning, "How’s the grilling going?"

Li Ning turned, nose red, his face reddened by the smoke, making him look more lively.

"It’s almost ready."

Li Ning was excited; it was his first time independently preparing grilled meat, and he felt accomplished.

"I..."

Qin Yun wanted to say she’d test if it was cooked well enough, hoping to sneak a taste.

But as soon as she uttered a word, Pei Yan’s voice came over.

Pei Yan called out Li Ning’s name, "Li Ning."

Li Ning turned to look; his gaze wandered to the grilled lamb, giving Li Ning a look.

Li Ning paused, realizing, then smiled at Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, could you help taste it for me?"

He sliced off a large piece of lamb, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun glanced at Li Ning, her lips curving into a smile, "Of course."

How could there be such an adorable little brother?

"The taste is great, very aromatic, crispy outside and tender inside."

Qin Yun took a bite, praising, the grilled lamb was exceptional, with no gaminess—crispy on the outside, succulent inside, perfectly grilled, not overdone by a fraction.

Li Ning squinted with a smile, "Hehe."

"You should check on Brother Yu; his braised lamb will soon be ready." Li Ning pointed to Bai Ziyu by the stove, giving Qin Yun a signal.

Qin Yun understood instantly, "I’ll go help."

After finishing the lamb, she licked her fingers and went over to Bai Ziyu.

Pei Yan looked back at her with a helpless smile as she was irresistibly hungry.

And this scene was also completely watched by fans in the live stream.

[Can’t stand it!!]

[The look Pei Yan gave Li Ning, that tone, was a threat, right?]

[I’ve said the word "envious" so much I’m tired of it; please spare my dog’s life.]

[Everyone here is eating dog food, not one member of Team A is innocent.]

[What I want to say is, did you notice there’s absolutely no sign of Jingjing in today’s live stream footage?]

[Does she dare come out to disgust anyone?]

[Not terminating the contract with her is already an immense mercy; even her fans find her behavior disgusting, didn’t you know? Jingjing’s fans dropped from over five million to over two million, losing three million overnight.]

[That’s what she deserves. I’ve heard the Zhao Family is extremely dissatisfied with her embarrassment and unwilling to acknowledge her.]

[Serves her right.]

...

The dishes were quickly finished, and Qin Yun also satisfyingly tasted all the dishes.

The judges Su Yu arranged were local herdsmen, ten people who tried both teams’ dishes.

Team B made three dishes and a soup, the worms mixed with sauce, jumping when served.

Li Ning couldn’t stand the sight and turned away.

Pei Yan covered Qin Yun’s eyes with his hand when the dish was served, "Don’t look."

"Okay."

Pei Yan watched the judges taste the dishes calmly; the locals genuinely liked the meat worms, picking and eating them while nodding, using their local language to communicate.

Pei Yan couldn’t understand them; only after they finished eating the meat worms did he put his hand down.

After tasting Team B’s dishes, the judges tasted Team A’s and then gave the scores.

The conclusion was undoubtedly in favor of Team B.

The locals’ deep-rooted love for meat worms couldn’t be shaken, even without the sauce added, they enjoyed eating them.

In contrast, they weren’t impressed by the lamb.

Thus, Team B won today’s overwhelming victory overwhelmingly.

"Congratulations to Team B for winning the victory, and today’s prize is a wool blanket provided by the ranch!"

The staff introduced today’s prize and then congratulated Team B, who won with a confused look and accepted the prize equally puzzled.

Wang Li sighed in relief, ran over, and hugged Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, those worms are so scary, they even bite, I was bitten once."

Wang Li squeezed her fingers to show Qin Yun, looking aggrieved, "A big bump appeared."

Qin Yun grabbed Wang Li’s fingers and asked with a furrowed brow, "Did you apply medicine?"

"Yes, no poison, but I never want to touch those worms again, not even hear their name."

Qin Yun raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Hahaha, then you’ll have to eat too, won’t they scuttle in your mouth?"

Wang Li shook her head resolutely, immediately stating her purpose, "No way, nobody from our team intends to eat this stuff, I’m here to mooch your lamb."
