There was no sun or moon on the way west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On that day, Tang Xuanzang took his entourage from Chang'an, ah no, Mingyuan set off from Konoha with a thousand machines, all the way to the west.

When they were hungry, they took out the cooking utensils and ingredients for a hot meal, when they were thirsty, they took out the tea utensils and tea leaves to make a cup of tea, and when they were tired, they rested in the carriages with beds, and sometimes they would rest for a few days at the inns along the way.

In short, more than a month has passed in a flash, and the scenery of the Fire Country is gradually gone, replaced by the fresh scenery of a foreign country.

Although the terrain has only changed from plains to hills, and although the vegetation has only changed from broad-leaved to narrow-leaved and coniferous, such a small change is enough to make people feel that they have never seen before.

On this day, the two of them finally crossed the border of the Fire Nation and came to the entrance of a small country.

"Captain, what country is this? Their coat of arms, which looks ...... Weird, huh? Qianji asked suspiciously, "Am I mistaken?" Or will there really be such a national emblem? ”

Ming Yuan squinted his eyes at the national emblem at the entrance gate, although he really wanted to find a thousand and ten thousand explanations, but in the end he could only admit it.

"Well, that's it, I read that right, and you should read it right."

"Which designer's idea was to use stacked knives and forks as the national emblem? It's too chaotic, isn't it, is this a country of foodies? Ming Yuan complained as he opened a pamphlet, "I'll take a look, the country adjacent to the Land of Fire and uses stacked knives and forks as the national emblem ......"

"Ah, I found it! The Land of Halberds, the name of this country is the Land of Halberds! “

"The presentation of the country is...... Well, a small country of wealth and tranquility, the whole people have an unimaginable craze for food, and the chef has an extraordinary status here, almost two-thirds of the famous chefs of various major countries are from this country, and even the state banquet of the country of fire is all cooked by the chefs of this country! ”

Qianji listened stunned and sighed: "It looks so powerful, no wonder you will use a knife and fork as the national emblem." ”

……

As you approach the gate, you can immediately smell the wonderful scent and the sound of fierce quarrels.

"Bastard, this is my new apple gratin, give me a good taste with your tongue, and then say the towel!"

"Huh? No kidding, you should be grateful that you can be a slave to Uncle Ben's chicken curry and rice! Give me a serious taste, eat it one bite at a time, and then kneel on the ground and beg to eat such a supreme delicacy again! ”

"Oh, it's ridiculous, there must be a limit to conceit. After so many years at the checkpoint, I have won three hundred and twelve victories in the halberd against you! You've lost three hundred and twelve times, who gave you the courage to speak out?! “

"Don't put gold on your face, obviously I also won three hundred and twelve games, and you are the one who makes a big fuss!"

"I'm tired of fighting with you endlessly, and this time I've finally used all my strength to trample you under your feet without resistance!"

"Ha, if that's the case, let's use this halberd to determine the winner! The loser must respectfully say the words of admitting defeat and admit that the other party's cooking skills are superior to their own! “

"Okay, I hope you can fulfill your promise seriously and bow to me respectfully!"

"You're the one who loses!"

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, let's enjoy the food separately. If you keep talking nonsense, the aroma of my food will start to drain. ”

"I don't need you to remind me, get your plate quickly."

Ming Yuan and Qian Ji looked at each other, they were standing outside the checkpoint at the entrance gate, and it was said that the staff should come to check all kinds of documents at this time. However, from the outside window, you can see that in a room that has been transformed beyond recognition, like a kitchen more than a customs, two men are engaged in a fierce duel.

"Well, I'll take a look." Ming Yuan took out the booklet, "In the land of halberds, the duel of cuisines is the most common form of resolving contradictions, and it is also the most sacred and undesecrated ritual. Such a duel is called a halberd, and even the name of this country comes from this. ”

"In other words, are they doing halberd eating now?" Qianji looked at the two people in the room with curious eyes, and gently sniffed the smell of the food wafting in, "What a wonderful smell, the fragrance of apples and the spicy aroma of curry are distinct, and each of them keeps pouring over." Just smelling it, I think it's delicious! ”

At this time, the two people in the room had already begun to taste each other's food.

"It's ...... Is this apple baked rice? How can it be? How can it be? ”

"The texture of the apple and the texture of the rice are completely incompatible, but why do they blend together so perfectly? The crispness of the apples and the softness of the rice are irreconcilable extremes! Why is this kind of dish, which you will know to be a failure if you think about it with your brain, so delicious? The two tastes converge together, but there is no disharmony at all, and the aroma of rice and the fragrance of apples are also blended just right, and you won't feel tired at all when you eat it! ”

"Damn, why, why, I can't control my hands, why are I still moving, why are I still eating! Damn, it's so delicious! ”

A man sneered with his head held high, watching his opponent involuntarily move under his own cooking. He picked up his opponent's dish, scooped up a small spoonful and put it in his mouth, and explained slowly, "Can't the crispness of the apple and the softness of the rice blend?" Only mediocrity can think like this. ”

"Just cut the apple into tiny slices and wrap a third of the rice perfectly in perfect harmony between the two tastes. The size and thickness of the apple slices, and the proportion of the rice that wraps them, this is the best recipe that I have determined after countless trials and trials, so that not only can the two ingredients blend perfectly, but also allow the aromas of each to penetrate each other! Worship, give in, this is the cuisine of genius! ”

He sneered and brought his opponent's dish to his mouth: "Curry chicken steak rice? It's really a new dish, so I'll try it with difficulty. ”

As soon as you take the first bite, the rice mixed with the curry spreads out with a strong aroma and completely occupies your brain.

"It's ...... What? ”

As if he had fallen into an evil spirit, the man kept swallowing the food, his eyes gradually becoming hollow, and he completely lost his spirit.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, what kind of curry is this? It's a demonic taste! ”

"You can't eat it, you can't eat it anymore, ah, damn it, I can't help it, I have to eat it again, I have to eat it all!"

"The crispy flavor of the chicken chop is just right, and ah, the smell of demons is also permeated in it, what kind of food is this! The body is completely out of control, damn it, and the brain is out of control, so I want to eat it! ”

As if by magic, the cooking of the two of them made each of them enter a state of inextrication.

"Damn, even though it's a deviant dish, it's such a novel taste, and I really can't give an unpleasant evaluation. If anything, it's barely on par with my cooking. ”

"Can such an old-fashioned dish as curry chicken steak rice have such a demonic taste? It's barely comparable to my cooking, but it's too hard to say something that goes against my will. ”

"So, is it a draw again?"

At this moment, the sound of a gentle knock on the window sounded, and the two of them looked out at the same time.

"Well, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we've been waiting for a long time, can you please help us go through the entry procedures?"

The eyes of the two of them lit a flame again: "It's a guest from afar, no, it's the judge of the halberd!" ”

"Sure enough, there must be an unrelated person as a judge! That's the halberd! ”

"Today's game is not over yet, forget the previous draw, and then the most official halberd spirit, you have to make a dish that satisfies the guests!"

"Two, please be our judges and decide the quality of our cuisine!" The two of them bowed their heads to Ming Yuan and Qianji at the same time and said, "As long as it's the food you want to eat, it can be used as a topic!" “

Ming Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to Qianji and said, "It seems that you want us to be judges for them." Na, just looking at it from the outside, how was their cooking just now? “

"It seems to be delicious, and I'm fascinated by what they eat." Qianji said, "Are we going to agree?" “

"Yes, why not? I haven't had lunch today, didn't I save you the effort of cooking, and I didn't have to wash the dishes? “

Ming Yuan coughed lightly twice, and then said solemnly: "In this way, then we agreed." “

"Do you want to come up with a topic, the food we want to eat?"

"Okay, it's decided! We've been out for a month and we're already feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and we're lazy every day. Let's take the food that allows people to rest as the topic of your halberd, because we haven't had lunch yet, so we can't wait too long, and the time limit is one hour, right? “

As if they had received a holy decree, the two of them shouted with great spirit.

"No problem, it's already burning!"

"I will definitely convince the two of you and win!"
