Chapter 27: Amazing appetite

Views:

After seeing off Fatty Huo, Chen Xian hurried back to his bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that the girl was not sitting on the bed waiting for him, but fell asleep again hugging the quilt. Looking at her heartless appearance, it seemed that she didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Chen Xian stood at the door for a while, seeing that the girl had no signs of waking up, he quietly closed the door and walked out from the back room.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity when the follower was not around, Chen Xian took his wallet and went out to buy vegetables. The two of them had eaten up the stock at home yesterday. But I don't like to eat takeaway, I feel that the taste is not as good as half of what I made.

In a farmer's market near Luogu Lane, Chen Xian turned left and wandered right, and found the familiar shops.

I bought 20 catties of beef, 10 catties of mutton, 10 catties of fresh prawns, 2 fresh pork knuckles, and some vegetables as supplementary ingredients. The total cost was more than 2,000 yuan.

For a long time, the shop owners in the farmer's market thought that Chen Xian was running a small restaurant, but they never imagined that these were just Chen Xian's daily consumption.

It's hard to say how big Chen Xian's appetite is, because he has never eaten enough. The most he ate in a single meal was when he was eighteen years old, and he ate thirty catties of beef in one meal. It didn't fill him up either, he only felt that he was 80% full.

After the age of eighteen, his appetite will be a little smaller, and he can control it freely.

Just like now, the total amount of meat he eats every day can be up to 30 catties, sometimes 10 catties or 20 catties can make do, but the premise is to fill his stomach with vegetables and rice, otherwise he will still feel hungry.

In addition to eating a lot, he also has an exclusive skill.

For example, if he eats more in the morning and eats enough for the whole day, then he will not feel hungry on this day, and he will gradually feel hungry until 24 hours later, and then he needs to continue to eat. eat.

This staggering appetite has a great relationship with his special ability.

Chen Xian has two special abilities that can be called the bottom of the box. In addition to the self-healing ability that is so powerful that he even fears, his other ability is that he can eat abnormal life. These lives include spirit bodies but not only Limited to the spirit body, the most prominent feature of his ability is his excellent teeth.

Take the abnormal life that the dean turned into in the crypt as an example. Its skin tissue is extremely tough, it can be said that it is invulnerable, even bullets can't pierce it, but Chen Xian bites open its defense line with his small white teeth. .

From this point of view, the degree of Chen Xian's tooth mutation is not low, but it can only be regarded as an accessory gift package of the stomach mutation.

The abnormality in the stomach brought great benefits to Chen Xian, allowing Chen Xian to create a unique code name of "Strange Eater" in the Bureau of Secrets.

But this ability also has disadvantages, and it can be regarded as a physical defect.

His food intake cannot be controlled to the level of a normal person, perhaps because his body consumes too much energy every day and must be supplemented with food, and his desire to eat is far stronger than ordinary people, and he wants to eat anything when he is hungry.

In order to make himself appear "normal" and avoid the appearance of being possessed by a hungry ghost, Chen Xian could only rely on diet therapy to suppress that weird desire to eat.

Although he has a big appetite, it is undeniable that he is also a more particular person, and he is still very picky about eating. Sometimes he is hungry outside, and he would rather not eat and continue to be hungry than go home and cook for himself.

Perhaps he was born with a talent for cooking, plus he is very obsessed with the word "eat" and likes to delve into it, so his cooking skills are not much worse than those of chefs in restaurants outside.

Back at the old house, Chen Xian went to the bedroom to take a look and found that the girl was still sleeping.

"Are you a pig... you don't wake up until noon..."

Chen Xian muttered, and went to the kitchen with several big bags of ingredients.

The kitchen of the old house is different from the kitchen of normal people. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the fierce fire stove that is only available in restaurants. All kinds of cooking utensils are available. The most conspicuous thing is the two big iron pots on the stove. I don’t know. Some of them thought they had entered the back kitchen of a hotel.

Turn on the range hood and heat the oil.

Amidst the clinking sound of the iron pan and the frying spoon, Chen Xian started to work in suspense.

He divided the ten catties of fresh mutton into two, half of which was used to make delicious radish and mutton stew, and the other half was made into braised lamb with a strong taste. The ten catties of fresh prawns were all boiled. , so as to ensure that its most original umami taste will not be lost, dipped in the secret ginger garlic seafood sauce, it tastes so fresh that you can swallow your tongue.

The two pork knuckles were also left behind. After Chen Xian cleaned them up, they were all made into braised pork knuckles.

This is also his specialty.

When it comes out of the pot, the pork knuckle is bright red in color and jade-like, and the flesh is crispy, fat but not greasy. The fragrant soup is an excellent material for mixing with white rice.

As for the 20 catties of beef, they were divided into smaller pieces, after all, beef is Chen Xian's favorite ingredient.

Beef with cold sauce, roast beef with potatoes, diced beef with cumin, shredded beef with scallions...

By the time Chen Xian finished preparing the meal, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Go to the side room and move a wooden round table for hotels, put it in the courtyard according to its previous position, and go to the back room to move two suitable chairs, and then start serving food.

"Google."

The girl woke up a long time ago. From the moment Chen Xian started cooking the oil, she ran to the door of the kitchen, staring at Chen Xian eagerly like a kitten waiting to be fed, swallowing a few times from time to time. He secretly wiped his mouth again.

When Chen Xian was serving the dishes, she also followed him every step of the way, completely possessed by a follower.

Originally, Chen Xian planned to ask her to help serve the dishes, but on second thought... According to her logic of thinking, she might start eating with her hands the second she took the dishes.

Thinking of this, Chen Xian gave up that unrealistic idea, ran back and forth a few times in a down-to-earth manner, and finally served all the dozen dishes.

Most of the dishes were served in pots, and Chen Xian didn't care about the delicate work of arranging the dishes, as long as they could be eaten anyway.

"use this."

Chen Xian handed the fork to the girl, signaling to her to learn to eat with a fork, but what he never expected was that the girl's eyes turned red instantly, she looked at Chen Xian pitifully, and opened her pink eyes. Xiaozui made an "ah" sound.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xian's face turned dark immediately.

Is this still thinking about letting yourself feed her

Do you have no hands!

"Eat by yourself." Chen Xian said with a frown, helping her to fill a bowl of rice, and then picked up a fork himself, demonstrating to the girl, while quickly sweeping the hot dishes in the pot.

The girl thought that Chen Xian didn't understand what she meant, so she hurriedly put her small face in front of Chen Xian, opened her mouth and yelled, looking very anxious.

Chen Xian pretended not to see it, and ate without saying a word.

The girl was completely dumbfounded.

She never expected that Chen Xian would ignore her.

After two seconds, seeing the shrimp shells quickly piled up on the table, the girl decided to support herself.

"No!"

"Well, good."

Although the girl's voice was full of anger, Chen Xian was quite relieved, especially when he saw the girl learn to eat with a fork, he felt like his own child had grown up... gratified!

It was also at this time that Chen Xian suddenly discovered that the girl ate very little food, and instead ate a bowl of white rice in big mouthfuls.

"Do you like to eat rice?" Chen Xian asked when helping her to serve rice.

This time the girl seemed to understand Chen Xian's words, she nodded lightly, and was afraid that she made a mistake and Chen Xian didn't understand, so she raised her finger and pointed to the rice cooker that was put aside.

"Then you eat more, if you don't have enough, I have cooked three pots."

"Well!"

Chen Xian felt that he was so busy that he had to pick up vegetables for the girl and peel the shrimp shells for her, so he was completely treated like a nanny.

"Oh... I really shouldn't have kept you here..." Chen Xian sighed helplessly.

"No." The girl replied.

"It's useless for you, I really regret it!" Chen Xian muttered, and went to serve her another bowl of rice.

Judging from his tone of voice, Chen Xian seemed to regret taking the girl in, but judging from his expression...the fact didn't seem to be the case, he always had a smile on his face, even if he said he regretted it, the smile didn't fade away.

Perhaps Chen Xian is not a person who likes to be alone, but loneliness found him, and he just didn't realize it.

"You can learn by yourself. It's not difficult to peel the shrimp shells. You have to be serious and study hard." Chen Xian peeled the shrimp shells for her, looking a little impatient. It's like parenting a child.

"Well!"

The girl blinked her eyes, seeming to understand, but also seemed not to understand, but she still opened her mouth wide and waited for Chen Xian to throw in the peeled shrimp.

"Oh shit you big horse monkey..."
