Chapter 8: Wolf's Heart Lily
Their reasons for doing this are actually very simple...... Even if you are a fool, you can judge what kind of realm the food in Lilin's hands has reached by the slices of aurora emitted by the dumplings and the breathtaking aroma...... If Menqi eats the dishes made by Lilin first, then, her taste evaluation standards will naturally be improved because of this, and if she is not good, she will compare the dumplings made by others with the dumplings made by Lilin, in that case, if they can't make "Aurora dumplings", the possibility of being able to pass the test will be infinitely close to zero, rather than this, it is better to let Menqi eat the dumplings made by herself before Lilin, and then say, if you are lucky, as long as you can make her say the word "delicious", then she will be considered to have passed...... There are definitely not a few people who have this kind of thought, so in just an instant, there is already a queue of people in front of Lilin.
Even if this was the case, Lilin had no strength or intention to change it for the time being, so he patiently stayed at the back of the team, waiting for Menqi's review to reach him.
"Hu~~~! It's really annoying, people really want to taste the dumplings made by that person, it will be delicious and delicious! However, I can't be angry, I can't be impatient, I'm the examiner, be fair and ......"
Food hunter Menqi forcibly suppressed his urge to turn his face immediately, kicked these obstructive candidates in front of him, and began to judge the dumplings made by the candidates one by one, but I don't know if I don't see it, at a glance, the gourmet's anger is completely hooked~~~!
"Your basin-sized thing, is it pizza or a devil's face~~~!" Menqi threw an unidentified object that resembled the face of the demon Freddy out of the window, kicked away the weeping candidate, and then looked at the next candidate.
"This thing...... I guess it's called meatballs! It's meatballs! Right? What about noodles? Where are the surfaces? ”
"This is a god horse? A fish? You actually breaded a live fish? ”
"Can you eat this stinking unknown object?"
“……”
“……”
In just a short time, the food hunter Menqi had already thrown out the window the "dumplings" carefully made by more than a dozen candidates, without even tasting a bite, which was of course affected by Menqi's bad and anxious mood at this time, but more importantly, the objects made by these candidates were too unbelievable and too strange...... Objects created by pushing human imagination and creativity to the limit can no longer be considered cuisine, and can only be described by the word "curiosity" ............ After a group of dejected defeats, the long-awaited moment finally came...... Under everyone's gaze, with a calm and calm smile on his face, Li Lin slowly placed the "art treasures" in his hand on the coffee table in front of Menqi.
"Please taste it."
"This thing...... Is there a name? Menqi asked Lilin in a muttered voice. In the face of this perfect work of art, Menqi felt that she couldn't bear to eat it for a while, and she looked at the glittering dumplings in front of her with an obsessive gaze, as if looking at her lover in love...... "I want to think about it...... Well, in terms of crafting materials...... Let's call it 'Wolf's Heart Lily'. Thinking of the ingredients for the dumplings, Lilin said casually.
"'Wolf's Heart Lily'...... "......Menqi finally picked up a crystal-like "wolf heart lily" with chopsticks, and didn't dip it in any ingredients, because it would only have a superfluous feeling of painting snakes. Really good dumplings don't need to be dipped in any sauce and vinegar chili peppers.
When Menqi puts the dumplings in his mouth, chew them lightly a few times, squinting his eyes and savoring them...... Then swallow it slowly, and then the moment...... Time seemed to stand still. Everyone was staring at Menqi with curious eyes, wanting to see what kind of evaluation she would make.
Everyone was nervous, as if the person being tested was himself, with the only exception being Rilin, who was absolutely confident in his work.
And Menqi's reaction really lived up to expectations, I saw that her expression seemed to freeze after swallowing, and after a long time, I only listened to this beautiful hot girl and said two words softly...... "Mom......"
Then he fell headlong to the ground, unconscious...... "Menqi! Menqi! What happened to you? Why are you calling your dead mother? The giant Bu Ha Thorn on the side anxiously helped Menqi up, shook hard, trying to wake her up, but it was useless, not only that, the girl's skin began to turn purple in an instant, and her limbs twitched, foaming at the mouth...... "This! Is this poisoning? How is this possible? Menqi is specially trained to taste any wild unknown ingredient directly! Even if you eat the golden poison dart frog, you will be fine! Despite that, Buha Thorn still hurriedly poured a large amount of antidote drugs for Menqi, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
In the end, I don't know if it was the antidote that worked, or whether Menqi wasn't actually poisoned, all in all, this hot girl still struggled to wake up on her own...... She looked weakly at her good partner Bu Ha Thorn, and then turned her head to look at other places, when the girl's eyes converged on the "wolf heart lily crystal dumplings" in front of her, suddenly as if she had seen the most fearful thing in her life, she screamed and crawled to the corner of the wall with her limbs together, holding her head and trembling...... "Don't! I don't want to see that thing again! I don't want to see dumplings anymore, woo woo woo~~~~ I don't want to be a food hunter anymore in the future, woo woo woo...... Mom, help me......"
Everyone was stunned, and finally, Bu Ha reluctantly walked over, shook Menqi's shoulder, and said to the crying girl: "Menqi, you can't do this, you, you are the examiner!" You're still in charge of exams...... Anyway, has that Lilin's food passed the customs? Also, what about the other candidates? ”
"No...... I don't remember! Menqi cried and shook his head, and said slowly in the puzzled eyes of everyone: "I really don't remember that smell anymore." ”
"So, would you like another one?" Lilin, who had been standing next to him dizzily, interjected at this time.
"No~~~! Don't! I don't want to eat that again! You've all passed! Everyone has passed! Woowoowoo...... Don't let me see that thing anymore...... Woowoo woo ......"
The basic rules of the hunter exam, no matter how ridiculous and unreasonable, but as long as the examiner in charge of the question says: "Pass", then the candidate is considered to have passed.
…… Inexplicably, he became a hero who saved all the candidates, and used the "dumplings" he made to completely "conquer" the examiner Menqi, Lilin walked ......back dizzily with his "masterpiece", "Is it that the things I make only have appearances, but they are actually very difficult to eat?" Or, is there any poison in the material that has not been removed? Puzzled, Lilin picked up a dumpling and threw it into his mouth...... "Mmmmmmmmmm......mm It's delicious, and I don't have any other bad feelings, right? And...... It seems that even the food cells have a feeling of being activated......" Rilin shook his head suspiciously, and finally attributed Menqi's strange reaction to the reason for her "abnormality".
"Does this thing really taste that weird?" Killua on the side came up curiously, picked up a dumpling, looked at it, smelled it again, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he threw it directly into his mouth...... "Mom......"
The two words of unknown meaning were issued again, and the next moment, the silver-haired Shota Qilu, who was from the killer family, had fallen to the ground softly...... I don't know if I live or die...... Suddenly, a terrifying murderous aura that swept through the entire warehouse began to permeate wantonly, as if it was going to destroy everything, and the ultimate target of this murderous aura was suddenly Lilin...... Then, a tall, skinny weirdo with a golden round head nailed all over his body, like a Frankenstein or a demon nailhead, suddenly rushed to Killua's side, grabbed him and ran outside...... "Killua ~~~!" Bastard, where are you going to take him? Jay and Kurapika shouted angrily, ready to chase after them.
At this time, a charming and moving figure stood in front of them, and said with a smile: "It's okay~~~!" That man...... He's just trying to help your friends~~~! And...... That person is in a very bad mood right now~~~! If you catch up, you will definitely be tortured and killed by him~~~! In that case, I'm going to be very sad......"
Finding that the person who spoke was Hisoka, Xiaojie and Kurapika immediately entered a fighting state, but fortunately, Lilin said in time: "Trust him, that person should have no ill will towards Killua ...... By the way, Hisoka, do you want to try the dumplings I made? ”
“………… Forget it......" It seemed that he hesitated for a long time before Sisuo said with difficulty: "If it is food that will faint even if someone who beats the enemy Hakka eats it, I am afraid that after I eat it, you will take advantage of it to do bad things...... People, now it's still a virgin~~~~! ”
In the end, this plate of wolf-hearted lily crystal dumplings all entered Lilin's belly, and there was a taste of the dumplings, except for Lilin's own description of "very delicious", no one else remembered, and even Killua, who came back on his own, said that he had lost the memory of this period of time...... As a result, the taste of the legendary delicacy - "wolf heart lily crystal dumplings" has finally become a mystery...... As for why there was no abnormality in Lilin's own consumption, the more accepted explanation is...... Have you ever seen a puffer fish poisoned by its own poison?
