Chapter 172: Parting is imminent
The snowflakes are scattered, and the cool breeze is sexual.
In a pavilion in the forest in the factory area, Tong Xiangyu, Qin Shuilian, Jinglong and other groups of people gathered in a circle around the stone table, waiting with expectation.
The bitter cold in winter is just a slight cool breeze for them soul qi people, and they will only feel very cool when they blow.
"Here we go!"
With a shout, Mu Tang came with a small tray stepping on the snow, stepped over three steps into the pavilion, put the tray on the stone table, and said with an exaggerated and mysterious expression: "Audience...... Boom! ”
Mu Tang violently lifted a lid on the tray, revealing the truth inside: a crystal clear flower bloomed on a plate of ice, and the crystal luster shimmered, as if dotted with stars in the sky.
However, of course, this is not a real flower, but a "crystal meat flower" made from the meat of the "Overlord Crystal Puffermon"!
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Tong Xiangyu exclaimed, her eyes reflecting the crystal color of the "meat flower", and it seemed to be flashing with light.
Jinglong, Dongfang Weixi and others were also amazed. Tong Xiangyu watched the excitement at most, but they saw some doorways - cutting the meat thinner than paper, and piecing them together into flowers that are all ready for the gods, this knife skill and craftsmanship are amazing!
Qin Shuilian's eyes also lit up, and she couldn't wait to say: "What about chopsticks, what about chopsticks, how can you eat without chopsticks?" ”
Dongfang Weixi smiled and said: "Miss Qin, if you follow the eating method of the 'Drunken Overlord' in the 'Thousand Generals' Banquet, you don't need chopsticks......" Before she finished speaking, Qin Shuilian said: "Don't use chopsticks?" What is that used for? It can't be by hand, right? ”
Dongfang Weixi said: "That's not it," she said, she flipped it over, and a dagger appeared in the palm of her hand, and she pulled it out directly, the cold light was dazzling, "But use this!" ”
Qin Shuilian was surprised: "With a knife? ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi pushed his glasses and said, "Hero, is there anything important?" Kang Feifei smiled: "It's really not easy." There are actually some glasses who don't know. ”
"There's so much I don't know. Do you know how to specialize in the art industry? ”
Dongfang Weixi said: "There are two theories. One is that it is said that in order to reflect the courage and arrogance of the generals, the chopsticks were replaced by 'knives'. The other is: Qin Taizu in order to 'commemorate' an enemy who claimed to be the 'Overlord of Wu Chu'. You probably also know that the area around 'Sushen City' is the 'hometown of Wu Chu'. ”
Kang Feifei was surprised, "Stabbing and eating meat with a knife, this commemorative method is really special." ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi said: "I know this, the 'Wu Chu Overlord' was mentioned in "That Broken Thing in the Qin Dynasty", but people almost destroyed Jing Da's ancestor, that is, Qin Taizu, do you say that Qin Taizu can not worry about him?" ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "No, right? That Qin Taizu was too stingy, everyone died, and he stabbed meat with a knife to eat. ”
Mu Tang was full of black lines, "Hey, don't chat, let's eat directly, otherwise the taste will be bad." How can there be so much attention, how to eat how you want, how to eat how you like, come, do it, eat and eat! ”
After speaking, Mu Tang directly reached out, grabbed a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wings with his bare hands, and stuffed it into his mouth......
The others looked at each other.
Jinglong smiled "haha", stretched out his big hand, and said, "Hand grasping meat, I like it!" ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi said: "The mouth is extraordinary, did you wash your hands in the toilet just now?" If you haven't washed it, go wash it! "As he spoke, he learned the same.
“…… Get lost! ”
Dongfang Weixi shook his head, these people really have no taste at all! Let's look at the two girls, Tong Xiangyu and Qin Shuilian...... Well, already gobbling it up.
She still decided to follow the "orthodox way of eating", picked up an almost transparent crystal slice of meat with a dagger, looked at it, sniffed it, and was about to enter when she was startled, "Wow, yes, yes!" It's so delicious! It's so delicious that it's about to fly! ”
But Zhuge Xiaozhi was shouting without any image, dancing with his hands, and his expression was very exaggerated, as if he had never eaten delicious food in his life. He couldn't help but shout, and then immediately grabbed another piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, even licking his fingers into it.
Dongfang Weixi looked at the others again, and found that they all had bright eyes, their hands moving, their throats moving, and they didn't even make a chewing movement, they swallowed directly into their stomachs, followed by stuffing them into their mouths, as if they didn't even have the mood to be amazed.
Especially Tong Xiangyu, who drooled while eating, kept stretching out her hands, retracting them, stretching them out again, retracting them, and sending pieces of meat into her mouth.
Fortunately, the "meat flower" put together by Mu Tang is not compact, and each piece of meat is relatively divided, otherwise it will be stained with other people's saliva, no matter how delicious the food is, I am afraid it will not arouse the appetite of diners.
As for it? Dongfang Weixi pouted secretly, she was very reserved, and she was also proud of being a child of a "food family". Although she doesn't like cooking and doesn't know much about cooking, when it comes to eating, she is less confident than anyone else.
Since she was a child, she has eaten many delicacies, but the dishes that really memorable her can be counted on ten fingers.
At this moment, Mu Tang's cooking skills may be very powerful, but what she really looks forward to is the meat of the "Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish". After all, she is an ingredient she has never eaten, and because of its scarcity, it has always existed only in legends.
Pursing his lips, Dongfang Weixi sent the crystal-like slices of meat into his mouth......
Hiss!!
The stimulating smell of wine swelled in the mouth instantly, accompanied by a coldness, the tongue and palate were subconsciously clamped, followed by an incredible taste overflowing in the mouth - the meat slices were like ice chips, wrapped in the temperature of the mouth, and melted away at once!?
Melt-in-your-mouth meat!
The melted "gravy" mixed with saliva stimulated the tongue, mouth and throat to swallow on their own, swallowing the liquid in the mouth into the abdomen, so fast that Dongfang Weixi didn't even have time to savor the taste.
It's just one thing she can be sure of, that is, it's really delicious, this is her first feeling, but to talk about how it tastes good, she can't say, she swallowed it all at once just now, what kind of taste it is, she hasn't tasted it yet.
Dongfang Weixi picked up a piece of meat with a knife and sent it to her mouth, and it melted in her mouth again, this time she consciously closed her throat, stirred the "gravy" in her mouth with her tongue, closed her eyes and savored it.
After a while, she opened her eyes, but her eyes were blank, "This is what ...... 'Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish Beast' tastes like?" She found that she couldn't find any taste from her memory to describe it, let alone any taste that could compare to it!
The only three flavors she could discern were wine, umami, and ice. She didn't know what to say about anything else. For her, the meat flavor of "Overlord Crystal Puffermon" is a completely new taste!
The difference between foodies and gourmets is that as long as foodies are delicious and like to eat, they will not hesitate to send them into their stomachs, and they can no longer eat unknown, while gourmets have to think about "why it is delicious", "where is it delicious", "what is the taste and characteristics" and other questions.
Obviously, this table, except for Dongfang Weixi, is full of foodies.
"Ah, Qin Shuilian, how can you take two slices at once?"
"Which rule is that you can only take one piece at a time?"
"Okay, you take two slices, then brother will take three!"
……
"Dongfang Hero, why are you stunned, if you don't do it, it will be gone."
"As long as you have a lot of mouth, isn't it better for her to be stunned, she eats more with fast hands, and eats less with slow hands!"
"Hey, you two pay attention to the image......"
……
Originally, it was said that while eating and chatting, while enjoying the snow scene, but now it's good, and they are all addicted to eating meat and can't extricate themselves.
The large pot of "meat slices" prepared by Mu Tang was more than 140 catties, and he didn't count how many slices there were, but in less than fifteen minutes, they were all eaten by their group, leaving only a slippery ice tray.
"Miserable, miserable! The worst tragedy of the century! Looking at the slippery ice tray, Zhuge Xiaozhi sighed again and again.
Jinglong said: "Hmph! Glasses wise, you eat the most, and you're embarrassed to be miserable. ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi licked his lips, "I mean, when I think that I will never be able to eat such a delicious delicacy in the future, I feel that the rest of my life is so bleak and tasteless." ”
Kang Feifei let out a long sigh and said, "I deeply agree!" He wasn't in the mood to talk a lot at this point.
Jinglong said: "Hearing you say this, it seems to be quite miserable to think about it......" After speaking, he slurped, as if he was reminiscing about the previous taste, "I just finished eating, but I can't remember what it tastes like?" ”
Dongfang Weixi originally wanted to be an old student and educate them that "no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of eating too much", but when she heard Jinglong say this, she subconsciously thought about it, and she couldn't remember what the meat of the "Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish Beast" tasted like.
Dongfang Weixi opened his mouth in a daze...... I can't remember the taste of the food I've eaten?
"Hearing what Jing said, my brother didn't seem to be able to think about it...... Charcoal, what's going on? Tong Xiangyu turned her head to look at Mu Tang, her face full of curiosity and depression - obviously when she ate it just now, the dreamy taste made her forget everything except eating.
Mu Tang said: "This is the so-called 'dream food'. Fantasy, in fact, is not real. To memorize a certain taste, people need to rely on memory and physical feelings. For example, spicy, the body tastes spicy, and the brain remembers it, so when you think of chili peppers, you can think of the taste of spicy. It's that the taste of the dream ingredient is different from any other ingredient, it is not remembered by our body, even if you eat too much, the body can't remember it, but your brain does. Maybe I dreamed it when I dreamed that night. ”
Qin Shuilian exclaimed: "It's so amazing! ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi said: "Isn't that never tired of eating?" ”
"Neither is it. Superman's physical potential is further developed to memorize the taste of some 'dream ingredients'. So, there's no need to care too much. There are many ingredients in this magical world that are more delicious than the 'Overlord Crystal Puffermon'. If you just eat it, you will be able to eat more delicious food when it becomes stronger in the future. ”
Zhuge Xiaozhi grinned, "I feel bored when I hear you say that." Life is in the world, time is good, if you are busy here and that for a bite of food, it is simply a waste of time and time. There are more meaningful things in this world than eating that are worth doing. ”
Kang Feifei pouted, "Why do you say it with one mouth." ”
"Haha!"
Jinglong said: "When this matter is over, we are almost about to leave 'Sushen City'." The teacher gave us a new task. What about you? What's next? ”
Mu Tang shrugged, "There is a task as well. ”
Qin Shuilian said: "But is it the end of the 'Mother's Day'?" ”
Tong Xiangyu looked at Mu Tang, Mu Tang shook his head, and said: "This mission failed, although that Lou Jiuyang has already communicated with the 'Hunter Association' and will not deduct our points, but our points are still zero!" This first mission is messed up, not to mention the bunch to come. If you can't complete the tasks arranged by the teacher, how can you still be in the mood for the holidays. When we get that candy out, we're almost going to leave. ”
Qin Shuilian sighed, her face gloomy: "Alas, if you leave, I want to ...... again Bored. He almost said "to be locked up again."
Tong Xiangyu pursed her lips, "We are with you for entertainment." ”
"What's the matter, sister, I can't bear you, hey!"
Tong Xiangyu smiled and said: "If you are really reluctant, you can travel and adventure with your brother, how interesting it is!" ”
"Ahem!" Mu Tang coughed dryly twice and muttered the sentence "The wind is quite strong".
Qin Shuilian's mouth flattened, "Sister wants to, but there is a terrifying old witch in my family, my sister is dead, how dare my sister walk around." ”
"Then it can't be helped."
Jinglong waited for them to finish and asked, "When will you go back to the capital?" ”
"At least in half a year."
Jinglong said: "We're pretty much the same. Then we will have a chance to get together again...... By the way, you really don't plan to change schools? Frankly speaking, 'Jinghua' is really not for you. ”
"Let's live, mix up with 'martial arts', how can it be suitable or inappropriate."
Jinglong nodded after hearing this, didn't say anything anymore, turned his head to look at the snow scene outside the pavilion, the snow was getting heavier, the wind was getting stronger, and when he thought of the imminent separation, he couldn't help but feel a trace of dispersion in his heart.
"Soul Warrior" is a high-risk profession, and this world is full of dangers, and every time you part, you may say goodbye......
……
……
Sushen City.
Outside the South Castle.
An old man dressed as a beggar with a wine gourd under his arm, stuck his cuffs in his cuffs, and quietly looked at the majestic city wall, "Don't, don't." ”
With two mutters, the old beggar turned around, bent his waist and shrunk his head, and walked farther and farther away, stepping on the snow without a trace, and soon the wind and snow grew stronger, completely submerging his back.
