Grand Mistress was also shocked, but when she thought of what Lin San had just said, her beating heart gradually calmed down. She just looked at him helplessly and thought, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? If I am with a bad guy like you, I am afraid that I will not be bullied to death by you, but I will be scared to death by you."
She snorted, but she saw that Lin Wanrong was still holding the big diamond given by the Westerner in his hand. A trace of envy flashed in the eyes of the Grand Mistress. She immediately left the little thought behind and whispered to Lin Wanrong, "Lin San, what did you say to the Westerner? Why did he give you such a beautiful diamond? "
Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret."
Grand Mistress turned her head and snorted. Secret? Is it great? I don't care!
Grand Mistress's next fight? Lin Wanrong's move was beyond everyone's expectations. After watching the civil duel, they turned to watch the martial duel. Lin San was so valiant earlier, and they thought that they would be able to watch a good fight. However, they did not expect that it would be Young Mistress Xiao who would fight.
This unexpected move also disrupted Tao Dongcheng's deployment. The Xiao Family sent Grand Mistress to fight, so the original plan to deal with Lin San was in vain. This was to force Tao Dongcheng to participate in the martial fight. Wan Ying must not fight. Otherwise, if the scene of two women fighting in public was spread out, Wan Ying's pure reputation would be completely ruined. How could she get married in the future? But this Lin San didn't know what medicine he was selling. He even didn't care about Lady Xiao's reputation?
"Then let this foolish brother accompany virtuous younger sister to play." Tao Dongcheng said with a lewd smile.
Grand Mistress's face turned red and she said angrily, "Shameless."
Lin Wanrong, on the other hand, was very confident. He had already expected that Tao Dongcheng would come down personally. He sneered a few times and was too lazy to bicker with Tao Dongcheng.
The martial arts question was set by the Xiao Family. Everyone was confused. They didn't know what kind of martial arts the Xiao Family would set up to let Lady Xiao defeat Prince Tao.
Xu Wei said, "Lin San, what did you come up with for this martial question?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "My martial question is also very simple. It has an easy to understand name, it's called 'Washing Hands in a Wok of Oil'."
The name "Washing Hands in a Wok" sounded scary. Originally, everyone was regretting that they had missed a martial arts scene. Now that they heard this martial arts topic again, it was much more interesting and exciting than a random fight. Moreover, there was a delicate Lady Xiao.
Seeing the change in Tao Dongcheng's expression, Lin Wanrong chuckled and thought, "Damn, do you think you're the only one who knows how to launch a surprise attack? I, your father, am the ancestor of this game. "
Xu Wei was shocked and said, "Washing Hands in a Wok of Oil? This Lady Xiao is a woman. How can she do that? "
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "This is to let Prince Tao accept wholeheartedly. Prince Tao, do you dare or not? "
Tao Dongcheng's face turned pale. Washing hands in a wok of oil is not a joke. Washing hands in a wok of oil once will cripple the hand.
Lin Wanrong did not wait for Tao Dongcheng's reply. He directly said to Xu Wei, "Xu Daren, please instruct the restaurant to prepare some cooking oil and a big wok. Oh, I'll go myself. Wait a moment. I'll be right back. "
"Prince Tao," Xu Wei said to Tao Dongcheng, "Do you have any objection?" Tao Dongcheng's countenance was unsightly. He stared ferociously at Lin Wanrong, but did not say anything.
Lin Wanrong went down to instruct the restaurant to prepare for a while. About the time needed to drink a cup of tea later, several waiters came up from downstairs, carrying a big wok of oil in their hands. The wok was filled with cooking oil, and there was a faint vinegar aroma. Several other waiters also came up carrying the wok and the cooking oil.
This time they are going to use their full strength. Immediately the people in the hall were discussing spiritedly. Xu Wei glanced at Lin Wanrong and Grand Mistress. This Lin San appeared and disappeared like a ghost. He did not know what he was up to this time. In the hall, everybody felt that Lin San was up to something, but they did not know what the trick was, which made them even more curious.
Lin Wanrong directed several waiters to set up the cooking oil wok and the stove. Everybody was watching their movements with rapt attention.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "In order to ensure the fairness of this competition, Xu daren, please light this stove."
Xu Wei nodded. He took a torch from a waiter's hand and threw it under the stove. There was hay hidden under the stove. Once it was lit, the stove fire blazed.
"Xu daren, please check the oil." Lin Wanrong said.
Xu Wei took a small ladle from a waiter's hand and scooped out a spoonful of oil. In front of everybody's eyes, he poured the oil on the stove fire. The stove fire rose high with a bang. This proved that there was indeed oil in the wok.
Lin Wanrong took a few pieces of water alkali (water scale) and threw them into the wok.
In front of everybody's attentive eyes, in a short while, there were sparks and the wok of oil was boiling.
Everybody in the hall, including Xu Wei, was a little stunned. This was indeed oil, and it was really boiling. That wok of oil to wash one's hands, did it really have to be washed in it? They were getting more and more confused.
Lin Wanrong said, "Xu daren, please bestow five copper coins."
Xu Wei took out five copper coins and handed them to Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong let go, and the five copper coins fell into the wok of oil.
The wok of oil was still heating. The oil was boiling, and wisps of smoke floated in the air. Lin Wanrong looked at Tao Dongcheng and said, "Prince Tao, these five copper coins need to be taken out five times. Please take them out."
Looking at the boiling wok of oil, Tao Dongcheng's face was deathly pale. Washing one's hands in a boiling wok of oil to take out money was not a joke. But if he did not take it out, not only would he lose face, he would also lose the Tao family's cloth shop to the Xiao Family. He looked at the boiling wok of oil, and his heart was constantly thinking: As long as the old man does not fall, the cloth shop can still be opened again. But if this hand is crippled, it can never be born again.
Tao Dongcheng gritted his teeth and took a few steps back, far away from the wok of oil. He said, "I can't take it out. But if even Lady Xiao can't take it out, then it will not be considered my loss. "
Lin Wanrong knew you had this trick up your sleeve. He looked at Xu Wei and said, "Daren, this is what Prince Tao said. If Grand Mistress takes it out, then we win the second round."
Xu Wei nodded and said, "It should be so."
Grand Mistress's face was a little pale. Facing this boiling wok of oil, it would be a lie to say that a weak girl like her was not afraid. But her heart was much firmer than Tao Dongcheng's. For the Xiao Family, she could do anything.
Lin Wanrong looked at her and smiled, "Don't be afraid. Trust me. You just need to take out the copper coin as soon as possible. I guarantee that you will be fine. I am the second most talented scholar in the world. "
Grand Mistress grunted and slowly walked towards the wok of oil. Everyone in the hall, including the Tao siblings and Xu Wei, held their breaths. This was the most critical moment. Could it be that a delicate beauty like Lady Xiao would really be crippled like this? That would be such a pity.
Grand Mistress stood beside the wok of oil. The steam slowly rising from the wok caused her face to turn red. She could faintly smell a sour smell in the air. It was the smell of aged vinegar. But at this moment, she had no time to care about such things.
She only had one thought in her mind. Believe in Lin San. He would not be wrong. Even so, she could clearly hear the sound of her heart pounding.
Lin Wanrong also stood beside the wok of oil. He knew what Grand Mistress was thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't forget. After we win, you will help me wash clothes for a year."
Grand Mistress snorted. Her heart calmed down a lot. Lin Wanrong looked at the wok of oil. Seeing the bubbling at the bottom, a smile appeared on his face. He said to Grand Mistress, "Listen to me. Move quickly. Quickly take out the five silver coins. Don't delay."
Grand Mistress nodded. Her heart was about to jump out. Everyone in the hall was on tenterhooks as they watched Xiao Yuruo's every move. Xu Wei looked at Lin Wanrong and said, "Lin San, you must not hurt Grand Mistress."
Lin Wanrong slowly nodded. He lightly shouted, "Grand Mistress, quickly take out the money."
Grand Mistress saw his firm and confident face. She made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, her lily-white hand slowly reached into the wok of oil.
"Ah — —" Countless people in the hall cried out in alarm. Even Tao Wanying covered her eyes with her hands. She could not bear to watch. Even Xu Wei, who was a veteran, could not help but turn his head.
There were no screams or cries of alarm. There was not even a sound. Everyone hurriedly looked over. They saw that Grand Mistress's face was first frightened, then surprised, and finally pleasantly surprised.
Xiao Yuruo's hand had just entered the wok of oil. It was not as hot as she had imagined. Instead, it was only at the temperature of the water used to wash one's face. Although it was a little hot, it was not much hotter than the water used to wash one's face. She could not believe it. Was this a wok of oil? It was more like the water used to wash one's face.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "Don't wash your hands. Quickly take out the money."
Grand Mistress happily grunted. Her little hand quickly reached into the wok and took out a copper coin. The people in the hall had not yet stopped exclaiming when Grand Mistress quickly put her hand into the wok. The second coin, the third coin … Grand Mistress unexpectedly fished out all five copper coins from the wok in one go.
Aside from joy, there was no trace of pain on her face. Looking at her lily-white hand, there was not a trace of heat. It was still white and flawless.
It was incredible! Everyone in the hall stood up and cried out in surprise. If they didn't see the scene before them with their own two eyes, who would believe that a weak woman like Eldest Young Miss Xiao was actually able to successively take out five copper coins from a pot of boiling oil and come out completely unharmed? Other than the word "miraculous", there was no other word to describe it.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Tao Dongcheng suddenly collapsed on his chair and murmured.
"A stone statue can grow, a wok of oil can wash one's hands. The world is vast and mysterious. Little Brother Lin, this old man admires you very much." Xu Wei said to Lin Wanrong with a sigh.
