Chapter 68: The Conspiracy (1)
The dinner has been going on for more than an hour, during which Toshihiko Inoue has not talked about any serious topics with Li Guangzhi and the others, as if tonight is just a banquet between friends.
However, when the last porridge made of puffer fish bones was served, Li Guangzhi's originally somewhat relaxed mood began to be nervous again. He knew that it was time for this feast to end, and that was the time for Toshihiko Inoue to say his ultimate goal for the night.
At this moment, he noticed that the Inoki cook brought a piece of offal-like things on a plate to Toshihiko Inoue, and whispered something in his ear.
Inoue Toshihiko stood up with a smile on his face when he heard this, patted Inoki twice on the shoulder, and then turned his head to Li Guangzhi and the others: "Li Jun, Li Jun, tell you two very good news." Chef Inoki has prepared the delicious taste of tonight's finale for us! ”
He pointed to the plate in Inomu's hand and continued: "This is the most delicious, dangerous and exciting food in the world, the liver of the pufferfish. ”
"As we all know, puffer fish toxins are distributed in the internal organs, and the liver is where the toxins are most concentrated. However, few people know that if they can find a way to remove the toxins contained in the liver, the liver of the puffer fish is actually the most delicious part of its body. ”
He glanced at Li Guangzhi's faces with some meaning, and then said: "Master Pig Mu has used his family's secret method to remove most of the toxins in this puffer fish liver, and the remaining toxin content, if you only cut a small part from it and taste it, is not fatal to people." ”
"You two, I wonder if you're interested in tasting this rare delicacy with me?"
Li Guangzhi looked at Toshihiko Inoue with an excited expression a little blankly, but he was secretly scolding in his heart.
"Nima tetrodotoxin can be lethal to an adult with only 3 milligrams, who knows how much that pigwood's secret method can get rid of! This kind of stimulation of playing with your life is good for you to play if you like, why do you have to pull me and Lao Li to accompany you! ”
It seems that these people are really different from normal people. No matter how elegant and graceful it looks on the outside, I'm afraid that there will be some ** and crazy factors in its heart. How could ordinary people think of such a practice that can risk their lives in order to seek excitement!
Li Xiaomu stood up with a pale face at this time, bowed to Inoue Toshihiko, and said, "Team Leader Inoue's hospitality tonight is really too rich, and the contemptible person has really eaten too much. No matter how peerless the delicacy is, I'm afraid I can't eat it now. Mr. Inoue, your kindness, I can only understand it, I can understand it! ”
When Inoue Toshihiko heard Li Xiaomu's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a contemptuous smile flashed. He didn't respond to Li Xiaomu, but focused his eyes on Li Guangzhi's face, and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Sang is unwilling to enjoy the delicious food with me." So Li Jun, you? Do you have such an interest? ”
The lights in the room were very bright, and Li Guangzhi had been staring at Toshihiko Inoue's expression. Therefore, he clearly captured the scornful smile that Inoue had just shown.
Although there was a voice in his heart that kept persuading him not to be impulsive, he didn't figure out Toshihiko Inoue's purpose all night today, and this feeling of being worried but clueless made Li Guangzhi feel that he was being played by this guy Inoue this night.
Toshihiko Inoue's contemptuous expression just added the last straw to Li Guangzhi's mood that had been depressed all night and was eager to vent.
He smiled at Toshihiko Inoue, and replied in a nonchalant tone: "Since you have such a Yaxing as Team Leader Inoue, why am I embarrassed not to accompany me as a guest?" ”
After speaking, he added: "Inoue-san, I know that you are very confident in Master Inoki's craftsmanship. And, since you've said that puffer fish liver is a unique delicacy in the world, it's best not to waste it. Why don't we compare to see who eats more and eat this big piece, what do you think? ”
As soon as the latter sentence was spoken, Li Guangzhi felt that the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on him.
The five beauties in the room looked at themselves, probably surprised by the idiot. Li Xiaomu's eyes were flustered and worried. And Hisao Takano, who hasn't spoken much tonight, hasn't looked at him much squarely, but there is a bit of admiration in his expression at this time.
The smile on Toshihiko Inoue's face at this time was also stunned by Li Guangzhi's words, but he soon came back to his senses, laughed and applauded: "It's worthy of Guangzhijun, it's really heroic!" It's a great joy in life to be able to enjoy food with someone like you tonight. ”
He carefully cut two pieces of liver from the piece of liver that Pig Mu was holding and put them on the plate, and then walked towards Li Guangzhi with the saucer.
"Come, Guangzhijun, you can also taste a piece. I promise you won't regret it. After he walked to Li Guangzhi's side, he picked up a piece from the plate and held it in his hand, and stretched out the plate in front of Li Guangzhi.
Li Guangzhi also picked up the remaining piece of liver the size of a thumb nail from the plate, and then put it in his mouth at the same time as Toshihiko Inoue.
The first feeling that this thing gave Li Guangzhi after entering it was like taking a bite of slippery fatty pork.
But after he chewed it carefully, an extraordinarily smooth and sweet taste spread from his taste buds to his mouth and even to his nose. This taste is a hundred times better than the highest grade tuna belly he has ever eaten.
Toshihiko Inoue really didn't lie at this point, this thing can indeed be regarded as a unique delicacy! Li Guangzhi sighed in his heart.
However, then, when the sweet smell gradually dissipated, a tingling sensation began to rise from the base of the tongue, and then the entire tongue and the inner wall of the mouth were taken over by this tingling sensation.
At this time, Toshihiko Inoue approached him, looked at him with an excited and somewhat fanatical look, and asked with a big tongue, "How is it, Hiroshi-kun?" Isn't that exciting? ”
"Stimulate your paralysis, exciting!"
Li Guangzhi wanted to throw this sentence in the face of the crazy gangster in front of him, and then spit on it.
But now his whole tongue has frozen, and he can't speak at all. Moreover, the tingling sensation on the inner wall of the mouth has also escalated to a burning pain at this time.
He didn't know if it was a sign of a puffer fish poison attack, but the feeling made him very uncomfortable, and there was a little panic.
Originally, in his opinion, although Toshihiko Inoue may be a little crazy, he will definitely not be a fool who kills himself. That's why he dared to speak cruelly in front of everyone, and ate the puffer fish liver with him.
He was sure that since the liver they had eaten was the size that Toshihiko Inoue had determined, the amount would certainly not be fatal.
However, the rational inference boiled down to the fact that this was obviously a sign of poisoning in his mouth now, which still made him panic.
He looked around for a moment, then fixed his gaze on the flask on the table. Something like wine should have a more or less detoxifying and anti-virus effect.
Li Guangzhi speculated in his heart.
He snatched the flask from the woman who was pouring the wine on the side, unplugged it, tilted his head and poured it into his mouth. After the crisp liquor was swallowed, the hotness was temporarily reduced, but it quickly returned to its original state.
When Toshihiko Inoue saw his actions, he let out a few slurred laughs, picked up a flask from the table that he didn't know who it was, and poured it into his mouth as well.
The rest of the room watched a little bewildered as the two men frantically grabbed the flasks on the table, not knowing what to do for a while.
It wasn't until the last flask was drunk that Toshihiko Inoue patted Li Guangzhi on the shoulder with excitement on his face, and gave him a thumbs up to show his appreciation for his behavior, and then beckoned to Inoki who was standing aside.
Inoki walked over to Toshihiko Inoue and handed him a palm-high porcelain vase. After Inoue took it, he pulled out the stopper and poured two mouthfuls into his mouth, handed the porcelain bottle to Li Guangzhi, and made a gesture to him to drink.
At this moment, Li Guangzhi was so excited by the few bottles of wine that he had just poured in that he was drunk that he was three or four points drunk. Seeing this, he didn't think much about it, took the porcelain vase and poured it into his mouth.
After a cool, medicinal bitter liquid was poured from the porcelain bottle into his mouth, the hot sensation in his mouth immediately showed signs of abating. He hurriedly poured all the liquid in the porcelain bottle into his mouth in a few sips, and then reluctantly handed the bottle back to Inoue.
The liquid in this porcelain vase is supposed to be a special antidote for this situation. After about ten minutes, Li Guangzhi felt that the numbness in his mouth had almost completely disappeared, and his tongue had regained its flexibility.
Inoue Toshihiko rinsed his mouth with tea at this time under Maiko's service, walked back to Li Guangzhi's side, patted him on the shoulder with an appreciative expression, and said, "It seems that my vision is still good, Guangzhi-kun, you are really a man who is qualified to be my Inoue Toshihiko's partner!" ”
After speaking, he put his arm on Li Guangzhi's shoulder and hugged him hard and walked towards the door. As he walked, he gave orders: "Gao Ye, you are responsible for sending Li Sang back later." ”
"Maiko, you don't have to worry about the things here, go and get my tea room ready, I'm going to talk to Guangzhijun about the cooperation between us tonight."
