Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Legendary Mapo Tofu
With Lancer's exit, all the contestants had a sense of crisis, and the entire Holy Grail War seemed to have come to a standstill, so Li Chenxing, who had nothing to do the next day, just roamed the streets aimlessly.
In this way, Li Chenxing came to the door of a restaurant. The name of the restaurant is very strange, it is still a Celestial Empire-style hotel, and the wooden signboard is engraved with the words "Hongzhou Banquet New Year's Pavilion, Taishan". To be honest, this store does not look like a good place, the glass windows are closed tightly in broad daylight, and the entry and exit of customers are completely invisible from the outside, and it is a place that will make you want to flee home just by looking at it. The air is filled with a unique Sichuan restaurant, with a mixture of chili, pepper, soy sauce and vinegar......
However, Li Chenxing still walked in curiously, the Chinese restaurant is not big, but in terms of appearance, it is very classical. Although it seems to Li Chenxing, a person from the Celestial Empire, this kind of decoration that tends to be Western-style is a bit awkward, but it is a Chinese restaurant, which is probably the feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country.
"Welcome, what do you want?"
A small man in an apron came out from behind the stove and asked with a smile on his face, looking like a very kind uncle. Then the kind words came, and the voice seemed to be filled with magic, making people feel like a spring breeze, and they couldn't feel refused. However, this strange sense of intimacy is also very discordant, Li Chenxing once again set his eyes on the boss, but did not find the slightest magic fluctuation in the boss, as if he was a harmless uncle next door.
However, Li Chenxing clearly knew that especially in this world where there was such a magical power as magic, this uncle was by no means a simple ordinary person, and in the sentence just now, it was obvious that there were traces of spiritual power, which could unconsciously affect the judgment of others.
"Come, sit down first, there's a menu on the table, do you want a signature dish?"
The little uncle came over and greeted him cordially. Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Li Chenxing achieved a position by the window, through the gap in the shutters, he could clearly watch the people and cars on the street. Then picked up the menu, Li Chenxing, who was sitting in the seat, remembered that this restaurant is also relatively famous, this restaurant is the legendary Sichuan restaurant that produces mapo tofu, a small restaurant, it is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this place that can make Yan Fengqi Li can't put it down, and even got the title of a mapo priest because of this.
Li Chenxing, who was sitting in the seat, was very curious and ordered a plate of mapo tofu. It's rare to come to the moon, and you have to give it a try. After the ordering, the kitchen was filled with a spicy smell of fried chili peppers, and then the moment the mapo tofu was served, Li Chenxing's eyes were firmly attracted.
To be honest, as a foodie abundant in the big foodie empire, Li Chenxing has also eaten all over the country, sweet, spicy and salty, basically eating them all over the place, but the mapo tofu served on this plate is too eye-catching.
The first thing to enter is a layer of red chili oil, on which you can see dense chopped red chili peppers, and then it seems that because it has just come out of the pot, the mapo tofu in the bowl is still boiling and tumbling, and the spicy smell is coming to the face, it looks like a plate of magma that is still gushing. When he looked at it, Li Chenxing felt that this thing was really spicy.
However, Li Chenxing still picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked up a piece of tofu. The luggage still fantasized that there were some things that looked like a red layer of chili oil, but maybe it wasn't spicy, so although it looked a little exaggerated, Li Chenxing still put this piece of tofu in his mouth.
And then...... And then there was no then.
Spicy taste is the spicy and stimulating sensation caused by certain compounds present in seasonings and vegetables, which does not belong to taste, but is the spicy, stinging, burning sensation produced by the stimulation of the mucous membrane of the tongue, mouth and nasal cavity, and the spicy taste has the function of increasing appetite and promoting the secretion of human digestive juices.
In order to balance the pain, the human body secretes endorphins, which eliminate the pain on the tongue and create a feeling similar to happiness in the human body, and we mistake this feeling for the spicy taste itself, so many people like spicy food.
However, this situation also has a degree, at least Li Chenxing is not blessed to enjoy this mapo tofu, the moment the tofu is entered, Li Chenxing feels as if there are countless knives constantly piercing his tongue. Quickly beckoned the boss to serve a few cold drinks, and Li Chenxing covered the spicy taste in his mouth a little. This thing is really not eaten by humans, and the structure of Yanfeng Qili is definitely different from that of humans. Li Chenxing thought to himself.
In any case, Li Chenxing didn't plan to continue tasting this legendary signature dish.
"Hmmm......"
Li Chenxing, who was picking up the menu and preparing to find a few new dishes to fill his stomach, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Looking up, at the door of the restaurant, a young man in a black priest's outfit with a white-haired girl in a sailor's suit was about to walk in.
Under the perception of the inspiration given by the Holy Grail, Li Chenxing immediately confirmed that the girl who was wearing a sailor suit around a checkered scarf and looked like she was preparing raw gum was definitely a heroic spirit. And the only person wearing a priest's uniform in this Holy Grail War is the vicarious of the Templar Church!
While Li Chenxing was staring at Yan Feng Qili, the other party also looked over, but at this time it was still daytime, and at the same time, Yan Feng Qili, who had the duty of guarding the secret of magic, obviously had no intention of going to war. Since this is the case, Li Chenxing naturally calmly flipped through the menu to find a few dishes he knew, and asked the boss not to be too spicy. Then Li Chenxing was like this, drinking the figure while observing Yan Fengqili.
The girl next to Yan Feng Qili should be the Assassin of this Holy Grail War, but it shouldn't be the Baixiang Hassan with countless doppelganger abilities, because at least there is no plan in the original work to get rid of the target by faking his death.
"Oh, master, can we change stores."
The girl who followed Yan Feng Qili said earnestly to Yan Feng Qili, her eyes full of tears. It seems that it is very uncomfortable with this environment full of chili peppers, and as a heroic spirit, it will be reduced to the point of selling cute and pitiful.
"You don't have to worry about this, the dishes in this restaurant are actually not spicy."
In the face of his own apprehensive servant, Yan Feng Qili could only comfort Mu Ne, but when it was his turn to order, Yan Feng Qili was very proficient, and ordered a few dishes with the waiter, and then said that the taste was the same as usual, and the waiter's attitude was familiar with Yan Feng Qili, and it could be seen that Yan Feng Qili was a frequent customer of this store.
