The residents of Devil's City have to be lively for three days every festival, but this should be the most lively "food festival" in the eyes of the Central Plains people, and everyone chooses to hide.

"Hmm......" Master Bao touched his beard, "there seems to be a fraud in it......"

Master Pang patted his belly and nodded, "I don't know what to say......"

The first time the eighth prince came to the Devil's City, he looked at everything very fresh, and when he saw a few handfuls of cowpeas on the table next to him, he picked them up and looked at them, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Unfortunately, the Eight Kings asked Bai Yutang.

The fifth master glanced at it and said, "Some kind of grass...... Right? ”

"Such a thick grass?" The Eighth Prince took out one and studied it carefully, and asked Bai Yutang, "How to eat this?" ”

Bai Yutang asked himself if he had never eaten such a long grass, and he had never seen it on the table, so he guessed, "Feed the horses, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them speechlessly, Xiao Sizi couldn't stand it anymore, sat on Xiao Wu's back, tugged at the hem of the eighth prince's clothes, and said, "Baibai, little Bazi, this is cowpea, not grass." ”

The eighth prince was taken aback, "Aren't all beans round?" ”

Bai Yutang also nodded, expressing skepticism.

The little fourth son turned his face to look at Zhanzhao.

Zhanzhao grimaced at him - to deal with these two people who had no common sense.

On the side, Long Qiaoguang's elbow hit Ouyang Shaozheng, "Look! ”

Ouyang Shaozheng looked at the place he signaled, and saw that there were three radishes side by side, and these radishes all looked a little like people and were chubby.

Ouyang picked up a fat radish twisted like a twist and said, "This one is beautiful." ”

Long Qiaoguang reached out and picked up another round radish like a fat candle, "Obviously, this one is good-looking!" ”

Subsequently, General Right explained in detail how beautiful the radish in his hand was in 20,000 words, and the fire unicorn shook the radish in his hand and said, "I like this one and I'm angry with you!" ”

……

Ignoring the two generals who were arguing for radishes, Zhan Zhao and the others had already walked forward.

Each person has two votes stamped in his hand, one vote is the most beautiful and the other votes are the ugliest, while the others are stamped.

However, in addition to the appearance, you also need to consider the taste.

Zhan Zhao looked at the three green cabbages and was embarrassed, each of them looked quite good, how to tell which one was better?

At this time, I saw that the eighth prince and Bai Yutang happened to be also appreciating the three cabbages.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi stepped forward to listen.

I only heard the eighth prince say, "Hmm...... This one looks a little moister. ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "Well, there are fewer impurities in light transmission." ”

"It's just that the carving is not very good." Bawang said, "It would be nice to have a wider pattern." ”

Bai Yutang agreed, "The place of jade is not too transparent, unlike the old pit ......"

"Well, it's really not top-notch." The Eight Kings shook their heads, "It's a pity, it's Moyu's estimation that looks better." ”

Zhan Zhao watched speechlessly as the two sons took cabbage as jade, shook his head and dragged the little fourth son who also disliked his face, and went to see a handful of leeks in front of him.

Bai Yutang saw the leeks frowning and detouring, and the eighth prince covered his nose, "Are there any herbs?" It stinks! ”

Xiao Sizi sighed, picked up a handful of leeks and shook them at Zhan Zhao, "Cat ......"

But the strange thing is that Zhan Zhao flashed and ran to the front to see a few eggplants.

The little fourth son tilted his head, huh?

Zhanzhao's actions also attracted Bai Yutang's attention.

Although Bai Yutang didn't have common sense, he knew leeks, he poked at the little fourth son and asked, "Don't cats like leeks?" ”

Xiao Sizi blinked, "Is there any?" The civet loves to eat raw leeks and green onions. ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "Do cats like leeks?" ”

"He eats scrambled eggs with leeks, and he also likes to eat fried belly slices with leek sprouts." Xiao Sizi suddenly asked Bai Yutang, "Baibai, do cats have anything they don't like to eat?" ”

"He's very picky, but if you don't like to eat......" Bai Yutang remembered a famous saying that Zhan Zhao said in a certain year and month, "There is nothing bad in this world, only a cook who can't cook." ”

Xiao Sizi and Bai Yutang looked at each other for a while, and suddenly wanted to figure out - as a foodie, Zhanzhao has any food that he doesn't particularly like?

……

In the distance, Tianzun, who was turning two walnuts, asked Yin Hou, who was poking a thorny chestnut, "Is there anything your grandson doesn't like to eat?" ”

Yin Hou didn't care about the authenticity, "Yes." ”

"What is it?" Tianzun was curious.

Yin Hou replied casually, "Isn't he just a little catly, he doesn't like what cats don't like." ”

"Yes?" Tianzun suspected, "Cats don't like spicy food, and your grandson shouldn't be too happy to eat spicy pot." “

Yin Hou said, "If you let the cat eat the spicy pot, maybe it will be happy to eat it, but it won't dry the chili pepper." Don't look at his shallots and tofu eating very well, stuff a handful of green onions under his pillow and he still can't sleep all night. ”

Tianzun frowned and looked at Yin Hou, "How do you know?" ”

"Ahem." Yin Hou touched his nose and muttered, "Of course that's how I did......"

Tianzun opened his mouth wide and chased after him, "You old ghost is more perverted than me, I haven't tossed my family Yutang like this." ”

Yin waited for him, "Nonsense, stuff a handful of green onions under the pillow for your apprentice, he may burn down the house...... I'm just trying to experiment. ”

"What test?" Tianzun was curious.

Yin Hou whispered, "Let's see if he wants to eat shallots mixed with tofu or something the next day after stuffing a handful of green onions the night before." ”

"Did he eat it the next day?" Tianzun was curious.

Yin Hou smiled and nodded, "Eat!" It turned out to work! ”

In front of the "...... sneezee", Zhanzhao suddenly sneezed.

Tianzun began to ponder with his hands behind his back, obviously he didn't listen to what Yin Hou said, just thinking about what would happen if he put a handful of green onions under Bai Yutang's pillow...... It's so interesting!

……

Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi followed Zhanzhao all the way, paying attention to what food he didn't like...... found that Zhanzhao touched his nose when he touched the onions, leeks and garlic, and then walked two steps faster, but he couldn't see that he hated it...... Do you really like to make a dish?

After walking in a circle, everyone finished the chapter and chose the most beautiful "food" - a little pig with black and white flowers.

This little pig is round, the eyelashes are still long, and the little fourth son hugged it and didn't let go, saying that he would take it back to Kaifeng Mansion to raise.

Everyone really wanted to remind him that you won't be able to hold it in half a year, but the little fourth son refuses to let go, and Zhanzhao thinks about it or keep it in the stable?

It's easier to choose the most beautiful, but it's hard to judge the ugliest! What's more, there is also a legend that the Devil's Town may be chosen for the food "cursed".

In the end, the most "ugly" fell on two things - one was a fish that everyone had never seen before, the fish was soft and lying on its stomach, with a very big nose and no eyes, and the people of Devil's City called it the Sand Skull Fish. The other is a mushroom, and there is a pattern on the "umbrella cover" at the top, which looks like a cracked mouth that is laughing, hence the name Split Mushroom.

These two things are as ugly as they are, and they have never seen them in the Central Plains, but it is said that these two things are common dishes on the table in Devil's City.

Zhan Zhao felt that he should eat it before making a decision, but this proposal was opposed by Bai Yutang, and the fifth master said that they were all the same ugly anyway, and they could pick one at random.

On the upper floor of the city, a resident of Devil's Town reminded that "there is a custom to use the ugliest ingredients as the main dish for dinner after the selection is over......"

Everyone gasped - didn't you say it earlier?!

Bai Yutang said that he should choose carefully, pointing to the cabbage that he had evaluated with the Eight Kings and said, "Just it, it's the ugliest!" ”

Zhan Zhao grabbed his own mouse and pulled it aside, "Mouse, don't forget that you will be cursed!" ”

Bai Yutang looks at Zhanzhao,

Zhan Zhao reminded, "What kind of skull fish cracked mushroom, we won't be able to meet it when we go back to the Central Plains!" Cabbage is different! Do you want to be cursed with cabbage for the rest of your life? ”

Although Bai Yutang felt that what Zhan Zhao said made sense, it was better to be cursed by cabbage than to eat something so ugly, and besides...... What if you're cursed with cabbage? It's a big deal not to eat cabbage in the future!

Zhanzhao won't let him choose - if you don't eat, I'll eat! Cabbage with a lot of dishes!

In the end, in the spirit of "conscience", everyone chose the "Cracked Mushroom", after all, the sand skull fish looks too terrible, in case it is cursed by this it is also a trouble, compared to the mushroom.

After the selection, Zhan Zhao and the others felt that the atmosphere was not quite right......

I vaguely heard the residents of Devil City squatting in the building whispering.

"I chose the Slit Mushroom!"

"Will the legend come true?"

"Will you be attacked by mushroom spirits at night?"

……

At this time, a cloud floated from the sky out of nowhere, covering the sun over the Devil's City, and there was a little bit of a "gust of wind".

Everyone took another look at the "grinning" mushroom, a sense of foreboding.

……

In the evening, everyone came back, and for dinner they had a pie made from Devil's Town.

Lin Yehuo came back with a wolf fur in his arms, took a bath and changed clothes, and asked while holding the pie, "How is it?" What did you pick out in a few days? ”

Xiao Sizi said that it was a "crack mushroom".

Lin Yehuo thought for a moment, "Mushrooms are better...... Where does the terrible road go? Anyway, I can't run fast on one leg. ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao,

Zhanzhao whispered, "It's okay." ”

Bai Yutang was puzzled.

Guard Zhan's eyes narrowed, "The pie they ate tonight is the stuffing of the cracked mushroom and skull fish...... And cabbage. ”

Bai Yutang threw the cake in his hand to Xiao Wu and looked for tea to rinse his mouth.

Zhan Zhao picked up the little flower pig with his hand, "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to be chased by mushrooms in your dreams!" ”

Bai Yutang pointed to his hand, "Wash your hands after holding the pig and then eat!" ”

……

The night in Devil's Town is very lively, and everyone also sets off fireworks to celebrate the festival, anyway, people here set off fireworks for half of the year, and everyone is used to it, so let's look at it like the stars.

In the second half of the night, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to their rooms to prepare for rest.

Just walked in the door...... Zhan Zhao stopped Bai Yutang, "It's not right!" ”

Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhan Zhao touched his nose and sniffed around the room, "I always feel that something is not right." ”

"Don't be suspicious...... By the way, what about the pig? Bai Yutang asked, "Is it the smell of pigs?" As he spoke, he grabbed Zhanzhao's two hands and sniffed it.

Zhan Zhao said, "That little pig is clean, if it wasn't for the little fourth son who took it away, I would have been going to sleep with it in my arms tonight." ”

Bai Yutang sighed helplessly, patted the pillow and lay down, telling Zhanzhao to sleep quickly and stop thinking about the pig.

Zhan Zhao lay down and covered the quilt, slept for a while, and spoke, "Yutang." ”

"Huh?" Bai Yutang was obviously not asleep either, lying on the bed.

"I still don't think something is right!"

Yutang rolled over, "Don't be cranky. ”

As he spoke, he turned over again.

Zhan Zhao said again, "You still said that there is nothing wrong, you have turned over three times as many times as usual!" ”

Bai Yutang was a little surprised, and asked, "Do you know how many times I usually turn over?" ”

"Yes." Zhan Zhao said, "You only turn over once every time you sleep, and the rest of the time is the same as a sculpture......

"Hurry up and go to sleep." After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he turned over again.

"Quadruple." Zhan Zhao helped count.

"Tsk......" Bai Yutang turned over again.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Five times ......"

"I don't think something is right, too!" Bai Yutang patted the pillow again, "Why does it smell?" ”

"You smell it too?" Zhan Zhao said, "I smell it too!" It's like the taste of green onion mixed with tofu......"

Bai Yutang lay on the bed and sighed for a few breaths, then turned over, and heard Zhan Zhao's faint voice in his ears, "Yutang." ”

When Bai Yutang opened his eyes, he saw Zhan Zhao leaning towards the head of the bed.

"What?" Bai Yutang asked him.

"Let's change the bed and try it?" Zhan Zhao proposed.

Bai Yutang felt that it was also feasible, so the two changed beds...... However......

"You also have the smell of shallots mixed with tofu here!" Zhan Zhao said seriously, "Shallot mixed with tofu mixed with dragon Yanxiang......"

Bai Yutang lay down for a while and suddenly opened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Zhanzhao also opened his eyes, and the two glanced at each other, sat up at the same time, and began to turn over the quilt and pillow......

"Found it!" Zhan Zhao opened the pillow and found a handful of green onions under the pillow.

Bai Yutang also found a handful of green onions under the pillow.

The two glanced at each other, and without guessing, a "suspect" popped out of their heads! Zhan Zhao thought of Yin Hou, and Bai Yutang thought of Tianzun.

The fifth master was about to get out of bed to find the "prisoner", but Zhan Zhao stopped him, "Wait!" It's too cheap for them! ”

Bai Yutang looked at him and felt that it was too, he couldn't beat him, it was too cheap for the two of them.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Are those vegetables and fruits still in the warehouse for the competition this morning?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, I don't say that I will use it to cook a big pot of dishes tomorrow......"

Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed, dragged Bai Yutang, and asked, "Let's play a prank, how about it?" ”

Bai Yutang is so old that he hasn't played a prank, so he asked, "How to do it......"

"Let's go!" Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang, quietly slipped out of the room, and ran into the warehouse.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the warehouse for a while, Zhanzhao found two large winter melons in the shape of long strips.

Bai Yutang looked at the winter melon puzzled, he didn't understand what Zhanzhao was going to do, and by the way, he sighed that this winter melon was also too big, and it could be used as a coffin if it was hollowed out.

Zhan Zhao found two more umbrellas, inserted them at one end of the winter melon, and held them up for Bai Yutang to look at the shadow on the wall.

Bai Yutang made him laugh - isn't this a mushroom! It's still a giant mushroom......

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang each lifted a "mushroom" and ran into the yard.

……

In the next room, Yin Hou turned over and stared in the direction of the window.

I heard Tianzun ask, "Do you think they found the green onions?" ”

"Not yet, I found that I ran over early." After Yin Hou finished speaking, he called out faintly, "Old ghost." ”

"What?" Tianzun asked.

"Do you believe in curses?" Yin Hou asked suddenly.

"Poof." Tianzun was so happy that he kicked the quilt, "Hahaha......"

"Don't be happy yet." Yin Hou stretched out his hand and pointed to the window, "What's that?" ”

Tianzun rolled over and raised his head...... I saw a "shadow" outside the window, a huge mushroom......

Tianzun opened his mouth wide, and the mushroom was gone......

Gongsun in the room.

Gongsun was sleeping, and he felt someone arching into his arms...... When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the fourth child.

"Little Fourth Son......"

"Daddy!" The little fourth son hugged Gongsun and pointed out the window, "The mushroom has appeared!" ”

Gongsun looked up and saw Zhao Pu sitting on the bed with his chin on his back looking at the shadow on the window, and sighed, "What a big mushroom!" ”

……

When everyone opened the door and rushed to the yard, the "mushroom essence" was gone.

Tianzun and Yin Hou glanced at each other, ran to the door of Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, opened a window crack and just looked up, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang slept very sweetly.

Yin Hou and Tianzun both pouted - the child is really boring when he is older!

Of course, the two of them didn't see the winter melon hidden under the bed and the umbrella hanging on the wall.

Lin Yehuo took the people of Huofengtang to look for a night, but he didn't find the elusive uh "mushroom essence".

……

From this day on, the "curse of food" of the Devil's Town Food Festival has changed from a legend to a true thing, and the people of Devil's City have talked about it.

But the most perplexing thing is actually the many masters of Kaifeng Mansion, especially Tianzun and Yin Hou, who are the supremes of martial arts. They couldn't figure out where the mushrooms they saw that night came from.

Of course, the people who are troubled by mushrooms do not include Zhanzhao, who is a "habitual offender", and Bai Yutang, who is a "first offender" who was damaged by his own cat...... 166 Reading Network
