"Excellent?" I wondered, "What's great?" ”

"It's a little fetish." The proprietress quietly explained to me: "The Eagle Claw King usually doesn't like to talk much, and when he is particularly emotional, he will subconsciously use a small action to express it. ”

"That's right." "Every time the Talon King eats something particularly delicious, he gives five holes in the ground like this - so it's said that this is the Talon King's praise for a dish!" ”

"Is that a great situation?" I asked.

"The Talon King is known for his penchant for food." Chirped, "If any dish is excellent, I'm afraid that the city of Qizhou is full of holes now." ”

"In my memory, only three times." The proprietress continued.

"Oh? Which three times? "I'm interested.

"The first time was when I was very young." The proprietress said, "At that time, some people betrayed the Talon Gate, and were caught and ready to be executed on the spot, but an old man came out to stop him—the Talon King naturally refused, but the old man took out a bun and gave it to the Talon King, and after eating, the Talon King shouted three times in a row, leaving five holes in the ground, and immediately released the person—this was the first Talon Wonderful." ”

"It's magical." I laughed and said, "A strange old man gave me buns, and I refused to eat them even if I was killed." ”

"What if it's a goblin?" The proprietress said.

"The buns made by the female goblins, I can also eat the stone-stuffed ones." I laughed, "So, what about the second and third time?" ”

"The second time, before I got married." The proprietress said.

…… Accustomed dividing lines...... The following will be updated later......

I'll figure out how to fix this next

……

Twitter and Copperhead desperately long their necks to see which picnic basket the Talon King would open first.

When the lid was finally lifted, they all looked disappointed.

That's right, what the Eagle Claw King chose was the picnic basket of Tianfeng Tower.

I'm happy.

Based on years of experience in listening to stories, I know very well in my heart that in a game like this, the person who reveals his hole cards first will be unlucky nine times out of ten, and the winning side usually opens later.

Okay, let's take a look at what Tianfeng Tower has gotten......

The lid was removed, and the faces of the judges suddenly came from all directions, plus the Talon King, a total of nine heads gathered on top of the picnic basket.

"This ...... It's not ......"

"Yes, you read that right."

"Yes...... Is this a dish? ”

"If it's served by someone, it's considered a ...... dish."

The judges were talking.

It was only when they parted that I could see the contents of the basket.

I was also a little stunned.

What is that?

A basket of fruits!

The proprietress , the twitter, and the copperhead were also dumbfounded, and a bunch of people looked at each other blankly.

No, Tianfenglou just picked a basket of wild fruits from the mountains and forests as a dish for this competition?

Slow down......

I remember very well that at the beginning of the competition, those cooks went up the mountain and into the water, and they really touched a lot of things; But now in the food basket, none of those things appear.

Definitely quirky!

As I was thinking, the judges had already come to the conclusion that a basket of freshly picked fruit was also a way of cooking.

However, no matter how good the taste of the dishes made in this 'cooking way', the judges will inevitably count a few discounts when scoring them in their hearts.

Now that the doubts are gone, the tasting officially begins.

The first to speak, of course, was the Eagle Talon King.

"Please." There was a middle-aged judge with a beard who graciously handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"Not necessarily." The Talon King waved his hand, stretched out two fingers, and twisted a red fruit from the picnic basket.

This thing seems a little familiar, right?

"Ah...... That...... That's ......" Copperhead squinted at it, and suddenly became incoherent in a hurry.

"That's Zhu Guo, poisonous!" Chirp shouted.

"Oh?" When the Talon King heard this, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

A piercing gaze pierced Fat Ding's body.

Fat Ding smiled slightly, looking calm.

"The so-called Zhu Guo is actually a red danmei, which is indeed poisonous." The white-bearded old man nodded his head.

"Ding Fat doesn't understand anything, and he dares to pick fruits for guests to eat, this is murder!" Copperhead said angrily.

As soon as these words came out, dozens of eagle claw men on both sides of the line suddenly drew their swords and stood on guard.

But without the Talon King's orders, they would never act on their own.

"I see......" The Talon King carefully examined the fiery red fruit between his fingers, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

I saw him flick his knuckles, Zhu Guo jumped to the ground, and fell directly into his mouth.

"Door master, don't ......," a guard next to him exclaimed.

"All the fuss, all the way back." The Talon King waved his hand impatiently, closed his eyes, and began to chew the fruit in his mouth.

The judges looked at each other.

"Well, it tastes good." The Talon King bowed slightly.

After hesitating for a while, the white-bearded old man judge took the lead in stepping forward, plucking a vermilion fruit from the basket and slowly putting it into his mouth.

Take a gentle bite.

"Huh?" The white-bearded old man showed surprise on his face.

There were two people who tried the food in front, and the rest of the judges were also bold, and they came forward to eat the zhuguo.

"This ...... This is not Zhu Guo! One of the judges shouted in amazement.

"Yes, not even a fruit!" The other judge was even more excited.

"Wait, what kind of taste is this......" The third judge was calmer, frowning as he tasted the vermilion fruit in his mouth.

"Fish!" The fourth judge, who had been closing his eyes and savoring carefully, suddenly opened his eyes and said. "It's a fish ball."

"Fish balls?" The proprietress and I looked at each other, and it dawned on me.

At the beginning of the lake, didn't the assistant chef of Tianfeng Tower catch a big fish, the meat of the original fish has now turned into a fine fish ball, filled in the shell of the vermilion fruit.

"Doesn't that mean that this shallow lake fish has a strong muddy smell? I see they're having a great time. Twitter wondered.

"If you drink more ginger and scallion wine, there will naturally be no fishy smell." Copperhead Road.

"But in this wild place, where did the ginger and scallion wine come from?" Twitter does not believe.

"Not only ginger and scallion wine, but also many things and methods can remove the muddy smell of fish." I shook my head and said, "First of all, chop the fish into minced fish, filter it with water, and the earthy smell will naturally be half gone, and then with some sour juice, not only the fishy smell will be gone, but the fish will become crispy and elastic, and it will have a unique flavor when chewing." ”

"Sour juice?" Copperhead suddenly came to his senses, "Ah, is it Zhu Guo?" ”

Zhu Guo is also known as red red plum, and plum is usually sour.

"Isn't that poisonous, how can you cook?" Twitter expressed skepticism.

"I haven't tasted it, how do I know?" I smiled bitterly, "But Fat Ding is not a fool, how can he take poisonous things to the judges to eat - I estimate that the toxicity of Zhu Guo is mainly in the flesh, and the peel should not be poisonous......"
