By the sickbed.
The skin-puppet took Mo Du’s blood and began testing its components with various medicinal reagents.
“How is it?”
“Not good at all…”
The skin-puppet said solemnly, “The hallucinogen Hao Dongxi used is very advanced, seemingly targeting high-level cells! This hallucinogen not only has strong effects but also exaggerated side effects.”
Level thirty was already undeniable superhuman.
They weren’t capable of moving mountains and filling seas, but defeating an ordinary little monster was as easy as playing.
A medicine that could take down Mo Du, one could imagine its effect on ordinary people.
“Can it be resolved?”
“I can only say I’ll try my best. At least it will have some effect and won’t make the situation worse.”
“You try. I believe in you. By the way, write down the pharmacology for me. I know a little about medicine and might be able to help.”
In any other world, Zhang Wei would never overstep his profession as a chef.
But this was the Great Gourmet Era, where no problem could not be solved with delicious cuisine.
Perhaps it was time to learn some medical skills.
…
…
Stepping out of the large tent, Zhang Wei went to the area of the mess hall soldiers.
“Wolfgang, long time no see. You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
The latter smiled weakly and said with relief, “To take care of your little lover, I’ve practically given my life. You must remember this favor!”
“Naturally, I owe you a favor.”
“Alright, since you’re here, you can take over from me. I’m really exhausted today. I’ll catch up with you after I’ve slept.”
“Go ahead and get some rest.”
Wolfgang patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and took four steps.
Thud~~
He fell straight to the ground. Upon examination, Wolfgang had fainted.
Zhang Wei quickly went to check. His pulse was already very weak.
“What’s going on?”
The assistant chef beside him also looked haggard.
“Mr. Wolfgang hasn’t rested for five full days.”
“The war is intense. Whether it’s the soldiers on the front lines or the wounded in the rear, without Mr. Wolfgang’s cooking, who knows how many people would die each day.”
“Sir has been persisting with his life.”
Zhang Wei fell silent.
Then he sighed and said, “You’ve worked hard.”
With a flip of his hand.
A blue and white porcelain bowl with green vegetable bits appeared out of nowhere. It contained white porridge.
Nutritious Vegetable Porridge version 3.0!
This was what he used to save Bo Gang from the brink of death.
This bowl of porridge contained thirty percent of the harvest from the Mortal Transcending Immortal Palace, with excellent recuperative effects.
“Take Chef Wolfgang to rest and feed him this bowl of porridge. It will be very helpful for him.”
For chefs, creating high-quality dishes was extremely draining.
These five days must have been a tough battle for him.
Turning around, Zhang Wei saw the more than two hundred mess hall soldiers, who had been captured by the Cloud Kingdom during the Northern Territory Chef Feast.
At this moment, these people were all gaunt. Some were wrapped in quilts, sleeping right by the stove.
Zhang Wei said, “Alright, everyone go and rest. Leave it to me.”
An assistant chef looked stunned. “What… did you say?”
“Everyone go and rest. Don’t make me repeat myself.”
The assistant chef immediately refused, “Absolutely not. Although we look unwell, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are at stake. We will never go to rest!”
“That’s right! Mr. Zhang Wei, there’s no need for you to persuade us.”
“Even if I die, I will die at the stove!”
“You don’t think we’re trying to steal your skills, do you? Don’t worry, we’ll just watch quietly, hahahaha~”
All the chefs firmly refused Zhang Wei’s offer.
They all possessed the honor of being chefs.
Zhang Wei didn’t try to persuade them further, but his hatred for the betrayers deepened.
“Alright then, let’s all work hard together!”
“Clear a space, and I’ll show you a grand spectacle!”
With a wave of Zhang Wei’s hand, countless supplies poured out like a fountain, neatly stacked together.
In the blink of an eye, a small mountain had formed, and it was still growing taller!
The speed at which the Treasure Hall dispensed items was twenty times faster than its storage rate.
It had taken Zhang Wei a whole afternoon to store these supplies, but releasing them only took fifteen minutes.
In a resource-scarce military camp, a sudden fountain of supplies that lasted for fifteen minutes would have an unimaginable impact on morale!
“I originally planned to do this alone, to challenge the limits of culinary speed.”
“But now that I have helpers, the speed can be increased even more.”
Although Zhang Wei’s strength had improved considerably, satisfying over ten thousand hungry soldiers at once was still very strenuous.
“Everyone, look at me and follow my orders for processing!”
“First dish: Braised Pork Belly Over Rice, Passionate Edition!”
“Everyone, follow my instructions and form groups. The first team will search for chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, Hangzhou peppers, green peppers, and other seasonings, and process them!”
“The second team will be responsible for finding animal oil, lard…”
“The third team will set up all the pots and bring firewood to start the fire!”
“The fourth team will fetch water and steam rice…”
“The fifth team will knead the dough…”
“The seventh team will search for pork belly, beef brisket, lamb belly, fish maw…”
“Everyone, move according to my orders!”
Zhang Wei’s enthusiastic voice spread throughout the camp. Even Wolfgang couldn’t coordinate over two hundred assistant chefs like this.
For such a large-scale collective operation, every chef poured all their energy into it.
To be able to cook under the leadership of the King of Northern Territory Chefs was an absolute honor for the assistant chefs!
Not to mention the accumulation of work experience!
…
Soon, the tasks for the first, second, and third teams were completed.
Two hundred large pots were lined up, and flames rose from the firewood.
“Cold pot, hot oil… three parts vegetable oil, seven parts lard!”
“Oil temperature at 280 degrees Celsius. Add star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and chili segments… stir-fry until fragrant!”
“Drain impurities, add minced ginger and garlic. Pay attention to cooling, and fry slowly over low heat!”
Zhang Wei stood in the center, demonstrating and shouting loudly.
He wanted everyone to be able to hear him.
“Chef, the pork has been brought.”
“Beef and lamb are being prepared one after another…”
Zhang Wei nodded, “Very good, distribute them quickly.”
“What should we do next?”
“Divide into three teams!”
“Team one will organize the supplies and classify them. If I need something, you must find it within ten minutes!”
“Team two will add fuel and fire, assisting the cooks in controlling the heat!”
“Team three will fetch water. You must fill all the water tanks within an hour!”
…
Even with hundreds of people, Zhang Wei showed no signs of panic.
A wounded soldier said, “Let us help too. We might not be skilled, but we can still do heavy labor.”
“Don’t mind our broken limbs, it’s definitely not a problem!”
Zhang Wei smiled, “Good, then you can set up the venue and arrange the bowls and chopsticks. The food will be ready soon!”
