"Since he's really had a falling out with Chen Hu, then I can use him!"

Pan Jun muttered quietly, giving him a deep look...

He was sure that the current Chen Hu was perfect to be used as a pawn...

Smiling, he looked at Chen Hu and asked with interest, "So, tell me, how do you plan to deal with Hu Xiaobei?"

Glancing at Pan Jun, Chen Hu growled, "How to deal with Chen Long? Of course, I want to crush him completely! We are brothers, but when he didn't help me before, that was unforgivable! So, he must die!"

"Hmm! I don't like Chen Long either, I wish he were dead! So, let's carefully plan together to ensure Chen Long's complete downfall in one go, so he never has a chance to rise again!"

"Alright!"

As they spoke, they got closer, and soon, they were seriously plotting together...

Quickly, one malicious plan after another was formulated...

With the various sinister plans, they laughed excitedly...

...

Over at Xiaohe Village, Hu Xiaobei explained in detail to them about Pan Jun's plan to challenge Chen Long.

After listening, they asked for more details!

Soon, they learned about Pan Jun's previous betrayal of Chen Long!

Instantly, their disdain for Pan Jun reached its peak...

"Didn't expect it, there's actually such a disgusting scumbag in this world!"

"Exactly, truly disgusting!"

Hearing their voice of absolute disgust, Hu Xiaobei laughed!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei frankly said, "This world is so big, there truly are all kinds of people. The more people you interact with in the future, the more you'll get used to it!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they somewhat dejectedly said, "To be honest, we really don't want to get used to it! We still want to believe that everyone is kind!"

"I also want to believe! But many times, it's not the case!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei heard rapid footsteps...

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw a frustrated Chen Long running over...

Seeing Chen Long, Hu Xiaobei asked with a smile, "How's it going? Is the mountain chicken, the raw material, prepared?"

Earlier, to ensure victory in the upcoming challenge, Chen Long and Hu Xiaobei discussed and decided to use the mountain chicken as material to make a roast chicken and taste it first!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's inquiry, Chen Long said somewhat dejectedly, "The mountain chicken is prepared, but it's useless because I didn't bring my custom seasonings, so the roast chicken definitely can't be made!"

Previously, after preparing the mountain chicken, Chen Long was ready to put it in the oven for final processing...

It was then that he realized he hadn't brought any seasonings!

This made him so frustrated he could spit blood!

He knew, to have a good roast chicken flavor, it needed various seasonings to marinate...

And now without those carefully prepared seasonings, it couldn't be flavored...

Previously, he would usually carry his custom seasonings with him...

But this time, he had forgotten!

This made him feel utterly helpless...

Sensing Chen Long's frustration, Hu Xiaobei smiled and softly said, "The custom seasonings you mentioned are your secret formula, right?"

"Yes!"

"Previously, Pan Jun got hold of this secret formula, right?"

"Yes! Before, I trusted Pan Jun too much, so I gave him this formula, not expecting he would betray me immediately!"

By the end of his words, his mood had darkened...

Sensing his mood shift, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly and said, "Since Pan Jun has stolen this formula, he'll definitely use it in the upcoming challenge! So, if we still use this stolen recipe, our roast chicken will taste exactly the same as his, making it really hard to distinguish a winner! So, let's change the recipe now!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's confident talk, Chen Long rubbed his nose, a bit frustrated, saying, "Master Xiaobei, I also want to change the recipe! But... but researching this stuff is really hard, and we can't come up with a new recipe in such a short time!"

Chen Long knew that a successful recipe needed hundreds of different ingredients...

Each ingredient's proportion required precise adjustment...

So, combining them was extremely difficult...

Because of this, it's not only hard within a few hours, even days, months, or years might not be enough!

Hearing Chen Long's somewhat frustrated words, Hu Xiaobei carefreely said, "Since we can't come up with a brand-new recipe in the short term, let's not bother! Later, just don't season it at all, put the mountain chicken directly in the oven, and we'll taste how it turns out."

"This... surely it can be roasted, but like that, it would be impossible to flavor! No one would want to eat it or even look at it."

"You're talking about an ordinary chicken, but the chicken I've bred is different, so just do it my way and give it a try!"

"Alright then!"

Hearing such confident words, Chen Long hesitated a bit, but soon, he agreed!

After agreeing, Chen Long prepared to give it a try...

He knew the mountain chicken was already prepared, so it would be wasted if not used, so he decided to try it out...

Of course, inside, he didn't have high hopes for Hu Xiaobei's suggestion...

Because previously when he made roast chicken, he knew the most important thing was the seasoning for good flavor...

Good seasonings could leave a deeper impression of the roast chicken's taste...

"Xiaobei, will it work?"

"Exactly!"

As the roast chicken was placed in the oven, Han Xueyao and Guo Meiyu quickly walked over to Hu Xiaobei...

Hu Xiaobei glanced at them, calmly saying, "Don't worry, there won't be any issues, just wait and see!"

For the mountain chicken he bred, Hu Xiaobei had absolute confidence, believing it would definitely bring a delightful surprise!

As Hu Xiaobei confidently thought, time passed little by little...

At this moment, a faint fragrance slowly wafted through the oven...

Being closest, Chen Long was the first to catch the light aroma that tickled his senses...

After sniffing the fragrance, he excitedly sniffed again...

Soon, he noticed the strong fragrance had vanished...

"This... just now, I clearly smelled a fragrance, could it be an illusion?"

Muttering this, he looked at the oven...

By then, the faint fragrance had intensified...

Instantly, Chen Long knew it wasn't an illusion...

He had truly smelled the strange fragrance, and it was coming from the nearby oven...

Taking a deep breath, he quickly moved closer, at that instant, the fragrance became even more intense!

"It doesn't make sense, how... how could the oven emit such an aroma? Could... could it be that the fragrance is from the mountain chicken placed inside earlier?"

Thinking this, Chen Long hesitated a bit, then quickly showed signs of excitement and anticipation...
