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......"

No matter how Fat Ding's Zhuguo fish ball is made, it has been recognized by the judges anyway.

Most importantly, the Talon King nodded.

"Sure enough, it's a strong enemy." Master Wu clasped his arms with one hand and glanced solemnly at Tianfeng Tower.

The tasting continues.

The Talon King's gaze wandered over and over the basket, as if he couldn't decide which one to eat next.

"That's it!" He finally got his hands dirty.

Everyone held their breath as they watched as the Talon King's hand slowly retracted from the basket.

"Not really." Chirp held his chin.

"A leaf?" Copperhead frowned.

"Don't you think this leaf seems to be particularly fat?" I asked them.

"Could it be, Ding Pang also stuffed fish balls in the leaves, right?" Copperhead Road.

"How is it possible, you should stuff it for me." Twitter does not believe.

"Maybe...... Just an ornament to accompany the basket. Master Wu guessed.

"Even if it's an ornament, it should be edible." The proprietress said, "My father once said that the gadgets with the dish are also part of the dish, although many people don't know how to eat them, but they must not be so-so......"

As he spoke, the Talon King had already put the leaf into his mouth.

Can you really eat it?

The Talon King bit down lightly......

Click!

Click!

The Talon King's eyes lit up.

The crisp and refreshing cracking sound burst out from between his lips and teeth, irritating the eardrums of everyone present.

In a trance, I had the illusion that a delicate jade object was landing in front of me.

"Good! This is so good! The Talon King let out a loud shout, and his palm pressed down slightly, and five holes suddenly appeared in the ground.

"This ......"

The judges were amazed.

"The Talon King's awesome has appeared!"
