It's a bit weird in the city of Tokyo, many of the shops close after noon, and even those that don't close are mostly deserted and don't have much business to do. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Those shopkeepers are really depressed, but they can't help it, today is the day of the big stomach king competition, most of the guys under their hands are betting, as soon as it is past noon, they begin to have all kinds of headaches, brain fever and stomach pain, rather than looking at their clumsy acting skills, it is better to simply close the door and rest for half a day.

The influence of the Big Stomach King competition is indeed beyond imagination, not so much because of Yang Huairen's good marketing mind, but because of the good publicity given to him by the Qinglian Gang.

Although Yang Huairen did not get half of the actual dividends from Lan Ruoxin, the free publicity of the Qinglian Gang made him not lose too much.

The mentality of ordinary people is also strange, in the last gambling game of the cooking competition of Guiyanlou, those gamblers who won money will naturally bet a bigger bet on this big stomach king competition, in an attempt to make another windfall.

And the unlucky people who lost the money last time burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, hoping that this time it would be their turn to shine with good luck and good luck, and they could turn their fortune and win back the lost money.

So this time the prize pool easily surpassed the last time, but for gamblers, it was a little difficult to place bets, and last time in addition to Yang Huairen is Wei Cai, there were only two options.

This time, more than 100 people participated in the competition, and even if the scope was greatly narrowed, there were no less than 10 famous foodies alone, which was difficult for these gamblers.

In those days, there were no professional analysts to reveal some gossip, and everyone was judging who was most likely to win based on rumors circulating in the market.

At present, there are not many popular candidates, such as Chen Tianba, who ate 25 bowls of beef noodles in Suiyuan that day, is one of them, despite this, Chen Tianba's winning odds are only in third place.

In second place is the Tibetan envoy Dorje, according to the legend, he can eat two whole sheep in one meal, calculating the weight, which is equivalent to eating about 100 catties of food in one meal, if converted into beef noodles, counting the soup and water, it is almost fifty bowls, how big his stomach is, which can be seen.

And the first place is a strange person, compared to the two big men with big shoulders and round waists behind him, this one is just an ordinary person, from the point of view of the figure, this one is not reminiscent of the big stomach king.

But the strange thing is that he is a Taoist priest who can do magic, and his story is even more legendary.

It is said that this summer, the Taoist chief who called himself Taixuzi was preaching on Jingnan Road, and when he was passing through a village, he caught fire in the house of a farmer.

The whole village beat gongs and drums and gathered 200 people, who were about to go to a well 100 steps away from the house of the person on fire to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

And this Taixuzi slowly paced to the well in front of everyone, and cast a set of dragon water absorption spells, and then the water level of the entire well dropped by three feet.

Then the fairy-like Taoist was a hundred steps away, spraying water from his mouth to put out the fire, and in an instant, there was a downpour on the burning house, and the fire was extinguished in a short time.

Later, this matter spread all over the states and counties of Jingnan Road, and many believers in Tokyo were also preaching this great good deed of Taixuzi, and because of this, Taixuzi became the most likely favorite to win.

Yang Huairen listened to this story, looking at the determined expression of the storyteller, he only had hehe, people's ideology is still in the era of great awe of gods and Buddhas, this kind of thing is spread by many people, and they naturally believe in it.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, judging from the action of Taixu Zilong absorbing water and spraying water to fight the fire, it is seriously not in line with the laws of science.

If he is really so awesome, why don't he go to heaven? Therefore, Yang Huairen feels that the legend of Tai Xuzi is too empty, even if it is true, it is just a trick for this magic stick.

Later, Yang Huairen carefully scrutinized it, and figured out the meaning inside, if he didn't guess wrong, the closest thing to the truth was that the subordinates of the Black Tiger Gang who made up stories were taken in by Lan Ruoxin.

Combined with Lan Ruoxin's decision to let Chen Tianba vote for Yang Huairen a while earlier, coupled with the experience of the last time, Yang Huairen felt a little regretful that he had taught Lan Ruoxin the ability to tell stories.

And Lan Ruoxin is no longer the innocent beauty in green, now she, although she is still nominally the second leader of the Qinglian Gang, in fact, she has surpassed his father and become the head of a real big gang.

Yang Huairen only smiled bitterly at this, even if he was Lan Ruoxin's life-saving benefactor, he couldn't change the fact that he was calculated by Lan Ruoxin this time, maybe in her mind, a powerful celebrity is her real destination.

……

Before nightfall, the Zhouqiao Night Market became lively much earlier than usual, and the square in the middle of the night market where the Big Stomach Contest was held was even more crowded.

The scene in front of Yang Huairen, if it is said that it is an empty alley, it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crowd of people.

If it weren't for the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who were already on the scene to maintain order, I am afraid that the people next to the river would have been squeezed into the river.

On the city wall is fourteen huge flags hunting in the wind, the flags are the names of Suiyuan and the thirteen partners, as the initiator of the garden and the organizer of the two flags of Guiyanlou, naturally ranked in the middle of the most conspicuous position.

The makeshift kitchen is set up on a raised table, and each family has sent a chef to work here. This is also Zhao Hao's idea, there are many people in Tokyo who have eaten beef noodles, but not many have actually seen the process of making beef noodles.

Because the most important part of making beef noodles is boiling soup and making noodles, as long as these two techniques are not leaked out, there is no fear of being seen by others about the craftsmanship of ramen.

And it is also good for people to watch, this form of live performance makes it easier for diners to feel that the production of beef noodles is not easy, full of skill and ornamentation, and also sets off the first side of beef noodles in the world from another perspective.

A hundred sets of tables and chairs have been set up, the dishes are still being made, and a jar of Suiyuan Spring wine on each table has been placed on the table first, and when the mud seal is opened, the mellow aroma of wine wafts out, making the crowd in the entire square feel intoxicated.

As the sun waned, the sky darkened, and the envoys of various countries gradually arrived to sit down, and the old customers also arrived one after another.

Although they complained that they had gone out early, they were blocked for half an hour on the road from the gate of the night market to the night market square, but seeing that the tens of thousands of people around them were crowded and blocked out of the circle by the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, they could sit in the spacious middle, and the depression that had been blocked for a long time disappeared all at once.
