After Manshanhong's door was opened, the banners hanging in the hall also fell into the sight of other audiences, which immediately sparked a lot of discussion.
"Dark Cooking Competition? What is that? Did you mention it in the previous schedule?"
An older monk who was more familiar with the situation shook his head: "The previous explanatory materials were not detailed enough to give a detailed explanation of the rules of each competition. But I remember that among the several sub-items of the food competition, there is a It seems to test the tolerance of the players... "
Speaking of this, the strange smell from the door came into his nose, and the elder monk's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't speak anymore.
Fortunately, he is a monk after all, with the magic power in his body running, he swept away the disgusting feeling, and then said stiffly: "Now I start to doubt the rumors that Wang Lu and Liuli Xian have a good relationship. Junior sisters participate in this kind of competition, I think they are more like enemies."
At the same time, quite a few of the audience closest to the hall backed away with livid faces, willing to give up the position worth 10,000 spirit stones
The smell in the restaurant is really weird. It's not a foul smell, but a strange and indescribable smell. At the same time, every inch of the body is strongly resisting the repelling smell.
"It's like putting all the inedible things in the world into one pot and cooking them."
However, although this smell can make the audience retreat, it can't stop Wang Lu and Liulixian, who are determined to fight.
The two walked into the restaurant hand in hand, and Wang Lu stood in the middle of the hall as the host of the competition. Liu Lixian consciously sat in front of a round table, ready to fight.
The next moment, a fat figure appeared out of thin air in front of the opposite round table, it was the food fairy who came directly to the arena with the spell of teleportation. The defeat a few days ago seemed to have completely disregarded him. The fat food fairy appeared in front of Wang Lu with a smile, and then the smile froze on his face the next moment.
"This, what is this smell?"
Wang Lu shrugged: "Of course it's the smell of wine, meat and food."
Shi Xian yelled: "When you say this, take off the mask that covers your mouth and nose first."
Wang Lu coughed, "Sorry, I have a cold, and I don't want to infect everyone."
"You were chatting and laughing with your fans just now," Shi Xian mercilessly exposed.
"That's right, it was infected by enthusiastic people at that time." Wang Lu chose to insist on being shameless.
"... Forget it, I don't have time to waste my words with you. I remember you said before that the theme of today's competition is to compete for food intake. What's going on with this dark cooking competition now?"
Wang Lu said: "The purpose of the competition has indeed not changed. It is still a competition of food intake. However, the amount of food intake can be interpreted in many ways. If it is just a simple quantity, how much can the competition eat? It’s a waste, because in this kind of competition, everyone probably won’t care about the taste of the food itself, it’s completely crammed and has no aesthetic feeling. Therefore, the amount of food in this competition is more about capacity and capacity.”
Food Immortal said: "There is some truth in what you say, but how do you explain the word "dark cuisine"? What is this disgusting smell in the kitchen? What does it have to do with your capacity?"
Wang Lu explained unhurriedly: "The so-called dark cuisine generally refers to those dishes that fail to cook, have strange colors, aromas, and even disgusting dishes. However, this banner is actually a misunderstanding of the boss of Manshanhong. He will not understand it. Food that cannot be appreciated is blindly classified as dark cuisine. This is a manifestation of ignorance, and it is definitely not my intention. In fact, my topic for this competition is: Promoting the diversification of food values and improving the ability to appreciate food. "
Shi Xian was taken aback when he heard the words: "What diversification?"
Wang Lu said: "Food is ever-changing and endless. At the same time, it also varies from person to person and from place to place. For example, in my hometown Wangjia Village, there are many people who cannot adapt to spicy food. My food is like poison. Senior Food Immortal must have a deep understanding of this point. And when I talk about the diversification of food values, it means to relax your tolerance, be able to accept all kinds of food from various places."
While talking, a chef in the back kitchen has already brought a pot of steaming thick soup, and the weird smell is nothing more than that, the chef himself is wearing a heavy mask, and after putting down the soup pot, he turned around and ran away, half-heartedly. don't stay for a moment
The food fairy stared at it and his eyes widened: Even the cooks avoid this dish, what kind of food is this
But Wang Lu lifted the lid of the soup pot without changing his face, and immediately a hundred times more intense smell came over his face, causing the audience outside the hall to take a few steps back collectively. When seeing the scene in the basin clearly, many people's stomachs churn.
In the basin, in the dark soup, a large white larvae piled on top of each other, wriggling and struggling, as if the soul was tortured in purgatory.
"...is this gourmet food?"
Wang Lu nodded: "This is a kind of delicacy from the indigenous tribes in the border area of Cangxi Prefecture. Although it doesn't look good, it's actually very nutritious. This white larva is carefully cultivated in a very clean environment. , is rich in various nutrients, and is more valuable than the lean meat we eat. And this soup is also made from herbs, which has the effect of avoiding poison and eliminating fire. The local people regard this insect soup as the most precious delicacy , Only when receiving the most noble guests will it be served for people to drink.
Shixian pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Wang Lu said: "Empty talk has no proof, I will eat first as a respect."
As he spoke, he directly stretched out his hand and picked up a white worm in the soup basin. The fat and tender worm struggled violently in the air, shaking its head back and forth, and spilled the black soup all over the table. Wang Lu shook his hand, brought it to his mouth, and bit off half of the insect's body in one bite.
puff
It was like biting a plump fruit, and the insect's colorful body fluids splashed out, as if drawing a rainbow... Wang Lu chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed it with a thud, and then grinned and said, "Delicious."
However, at the same time, many of the spectators outside the stadium were almost ashamed.
The food fairy's complexion also changed slightly. For the Immortal Eater, although bugs are not a frequent visitor in the recipes, they are actually not uncommon. When he was cultivating in the tropical forest, he had eaten no less than ten thousand insects, and he had mastered thousands of ways to cook insects.
But among those 10,000 worms, there will never be this one.
The scavenging insects are born from eating rot. Inside the fat and tender body, the colorful body fluids are all rotten, all of which are poisonous, and the taste is extremely bitter, like a sharp knife scraping the tongue. Although the herbal soup can dissolve toxins, the taste cannot be changed. This kind of soup is hard to swallow
Especially for the food fairy with a super keen sense of taste, the joy and pain of tasting food are a hundred times stronger than ordinary people. Wang Lu's wooden tongue can resist discomfort and say it's delicious, but letting him eat it would be heartbreaking.
Thinking of this, Shixian turned his gaze to Liulixian...
He had also heard a little about this pure girl who often followed Wang Lu. In addition to her astonishing Jianxin transparent physique, she was also well-known for her fanaticism for food. A large restaurant. And after witnessing it with his own eyes, the food fairy can feel that the girl has the same kind of aura.
This is also a gourmet…
Such a person is bound to be picky about food, can they bear carrion worm soup
But just when Food Immortal was suspicious, Wang Lu handed the remaining half of the worm to Liuli Immortal's mouth. The girl swallowed the worm completely with a gulp, and then burst into dazzling smile.
"tasty"
Food Immortal almost wanted to flip the table: You are so delicious, you have tears in the corners of your eyes
However, Liulixian still didn't give up. After eating the worms, Yu Jian picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of black soup, and drank it freely: "It's delicious!"
"You're trembling when you speak"
Wang Lu nodded: "That's the trembling caused by Liulixian opening his taste buds."
"This is the trembling of the explosion of taste buds." Shi Xian could no longer tolerate it, "I agree with you when you say that the value of food is diversified. Back then, the food circles in mainland China used to argue endlessly over whether tofu nao was sweet or salty orthodox. Fighting, causing many monks to fall, that is the evil result of single value. But no matter how diverse it is, there should be a bottom line. Even scavengers can be turned into gourmet food. "
"I'm not surprised by this." Wang Lu shrugged, "Senior Immortal, known as Food Immortal, was a top expert in gourmet food 16,000 years ago, and his status in the gourmet world is also very respected. He is an authority and orthodox …But from another perspective, the so-called orthodox authority is often the resistance that hinders the development of new things. You say that diversification should have a bottom line, but who should draw the bottom line? You say that carrion bugs are an insult to food, but follow me In my opinion, isn’t the sweet tofu nao insulting tofu nao? Who is to judge whether it is an insult to food?”
After some questioning, Shi Xian was speechless. His mouth and tongue were used to taste delicious food, not to argue with others. Although he was not considered clumsy and tongue-tied, but he was obviously not qualified enough to quarrel with Wang Lu.
After being silent for a while, Shi Xian looked at Wang Lu, who was full of confidence, and Liu Lixian, who was gently sticking out his tongue under the influence of the aftertaste of the carrion worm soup...
"Okay, since you want to compare, let's do it."
Food Immortal said, his eyes gradually turned cold: "But don't blame me for not reminding you, when it comes to tasting novelties, you are far from being qualified to compare with me. When I was searching for ingredients in the poor mountains, I tasted everything. pass"
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his thick and long arms, picked up the steaming soup bowl in front of Wang Lu, and brought it to his mouth, raised his hand, raised his head, and cleaned up the soup in one gulp.
"Haha, it tastes really good."
Food Immortal's expression was cold, his voice was as cold as the ice of the Nine Netherworlds, but at the same time, a puff of blue smoke rose from his throat...
