Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 -85 They must have been bought off by Jiang Li!

Facing everyone’s skepticism and curiosity, Jiang Li explained fluently:

“These tomatoes and eggs were given to me by an auntie from Chixia Village. The tomatoes are grown by them, and the eggs are also from their free-range chickens. I thought, since I’m here, I naturally wanted to try the local farmhouse flavors.”

“More importantly,” Jiang Li looked toward Director Sun and smiled, “I guessed that Director Sun would have the villagers serve as judges, so I chose dishes that are simple but don’t lack in color, aroma, and taste.”

Director Sun was startled.

The people around were startled too.

Could this even be guessed?

...

Could Jiang Li really be some kind of reincarnated immortal?

Wen Jiaojiao couldn’t help but sneer dismissively, “How manipulative, even thinking of this.”

Then, Jiang Li’s gaze shifted over.

Her calm yet forceful voice also carried over.

“Ms. Wen says I’m manipulative, and I don’t want to rebut that because in a sense, it’s also a compliment. But this isn’t scheming; it’s just a tactic to win the competition. Doesn’t Ms. Wen have any?”

“You!” Wen Jiaojiao’s face turned red with embarrassment.

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Is Jiang Li implying that Princess Wen doesn’t have a brain?]

[Poor Princess Wen, trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice instead.]

[It’s still our Sister Li, teaching me another dual-nature technique in speech.]

[It’s obviously Jiang Li in the wrong, don’t you think? Deliberately preparing these farmhouse dishes, if that’s not manipulative, what is? And you all keep saying every day she’s innocent and cute? Seriously, I can’t stand people with such deep schemes. I wish you all meet these kinds of people in life.]

[Some people are up to their usual poor attempts at slandering again. When did we ever say Sister Li was innocent and cute? She’s clearly always been like this, just look at how she dealt with Jiang Yan, and you’ll see. Sister Li is no fragile flower, she’s smart!]

[Exactly, plus all the other guests had their ingredients set from early on. Only Sister Li received ingredients gifted by the villagers. She can cook whatever she wants, who are you to judge?]

[Let me add something, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what Jiang Li did. After all, she taught our Qi how to cook with her own hands. If not for her, this kid would be having Northwest winds for lunch.]

[+1, if it wasn’t for Jiang Li, my older brother’s fish would have ended up feeding Jiang Yan’s chickens.]

Despite many in the live broadcast siding with Wen Jiaojiao against Jiang Li,

They were quickly drowned out by the voices of the villagers and fans of other guests.

Even passersby couldn’t help but become curious.

Wasn’t that Jiang Li the one mired in negative press, the least welcomed?

How come after just a few days, even other people’s fans are speaking up for her?

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s sincere and simple explanation, the villagers in the judging panel nodded their heads in satisfaction.

What’s wrong with tomato and egg stir-fry?

Their own tomatoes, their own eggs, don’t even mention how delicious those are?

Moreover, they had heard that this pretty girl had saved the village chief’s child and even read fortunes for the son of the Li Family at the entrance of the village— and in the end, she only accepted a basket of vegetables.

How could they not support a girl so beautiful and kind-hearted? Even if her cooking were not tasty, they would still give her their support.

But what took the villagers by surprise was that when they took a bite of the egg, the taste turned out to be incredibly delicious.

The doneness was just right, retaining the freshness of free-range eggs without being too tender and gamey.

The saltiness was also controlled perfectly, with even a hint of a sweet aftertaste.

And the tomatoes? They were sour-sweet.

This fresh and vibrant flavor blended perfectly. No one had expected that such an ordinary dish of tomato and egg stir-fry could be made so delicious.
