Chapter 111: War on the Tip of the Tongue
Although the old man praised the delicacies of the Immortal City to the sky, in Qi Xuance's heart, he still had reservations.
It wasn't until he slowly lifted a silver plate in front of him that the hot and smoky fragrance came to his face, Qi Xuance's expression suddenly fell into a trance.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, trying to confirm the food on the small fine silver plate.
It was a small, black cake cut.
About the size of a fist, boxy, placed in a huge exquisite silver plate, there is a sense of contrast and cuteness.
Qi Xuance subconsciously slid his throat, of course this is not swallowing saliva, who has never seen cutting cakes.
"IMHO—"
Qi Xuance looked at the old man, and then at Changfeng Fuyi, "Food, since ancient times, has been heavy on color, fragrance, and taste, and the emphasis is on gluttony before eating, and cutting before seeing it." What the fuck is this...... Something like poop successfully quenched my appetite. ”
Changfeng stroked his wings and laughed, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "The old master can solve a question or two for your Mr. Qi." ”
The old man rubbed the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Good man, what you said is almost a copy of Lao Tzu back then, but it is really biased." ”
"Oh?"
Qi Xuance, including Jiang Xiaoliu and Jia Ren, looked at the old man together, all wanting to see what was good about the food in the Immortal City that he highly admired.
The old man tasted the wine and said leisurely: "The color, flavor and flavor are an important criterion for measuring food, and there is nothing wrong with it, but this is established by the aesthetics and development process of human beings." ”
Qi Xuance somewhat understood that the Immortal City was an undead race, and in addition to its similar appearance, it was very different from human beings in nature.
But I heard the old man continue: "The development process of human beings has led to our demand for food, which has gradually changed from functional to enjoyable, energy intake is no longer the first element, and the impact on taste buds and vision is the most important. ”
"But the undead are different, as wanderers, they have never had peace, and when blood and death form the main body of a race, then all life is for one goal: to strengthen themselves. ”
When the many Immortal City officials sitting on the chief heard this, they all showed a gloomy look on their faces, and only Changfeng Fuyi still smiled.
The old man said, "This is also the reason why I like the cooks of the Immortal City, do they not have the ability to make the shape of the food beautiful? But as you can see, the food here is so dry, like compressed military rations, why? Because it's a spur. ”
"Spurring ......"
Qi Xuance chewed on this word deeply, and felt a little shocked in his heart.
This is not a person's deeds, it is not a salary to taste the gall, it is not a head cantilever cone thorn stock, the spur of the single body is valuable, but compared with the progress of the entire race in the immortal city, it is a bit of a small thing.
Not to mention, this kind of spur is deep into the bones, deep into the subtle life, from the point to the surface, it can be seen how powerful the undead will be.
Compared with this, human beings are indeed too fond of comfort.
The old man continued: "Of course, this is the inner level of the spirit, as I said earlier, everything in the Immortal City is only to strengthen yourself, food is the top priority, in fact, this black thing is really delicious in addition to not being good-looking." ”
As he spoke, the old man took the exquisite silver spoon and dug it gently, put it in his mouth, and his wrinkled old face flashed a trace of comfort, and he quietly leaned back on the back of the chair and savored it.
This scene re-aroused Qi Xuance's appetite, his old man is definitely a fierce man who has eaten and seen, and he can enjoy it so much at this moment, could it be that this little lump in front of him is really so delicious?
Changfeng stroked his wings and smiled: "Everyone, please taste it too, just a little coarse grain, I hope it will not fall into the old master's beautiful words." ”
Jiang Xiaoliu couldn't hold it back, so he carefully turned sideways and Qi Xuan Ce and said, "Master, let's try it too?"
"Taste...... Mother, of course, I want to try it!"
Qi Xuance twitched his head and motioned for Jiang Xiaoliu and Jia Ren to start, and at the same time muttered in his heart that I still don't believe it, just this thing, it can still be delicious in heaven.
The silver spoon is gently inserted into the black cake, and the compressed cake that looks rough and tight is smooth, and there is no feeling of blockage at all.
With a slight lift, a small piece of black cake was dug out, the pure black color and the silver light became more and more vivid, if you gaze, you can vaguely see that the black cake is actually composed of countless small particles.
Put it under the nose and smell it lightly, a not too strong but extremely long aroma penetrates into the limbs, not just a simple meat fragrance, but more like a kind of white durois flowers that bloom unyieldingly under the howling cold wind in the Siberian wilderness, so that this faint fragrance has a hint of bitterness.
Slowly sent the black cake into his mouth, and at the moment when the silver spoon was withdrawn, Qi Xuance only felt that his taste buds suddenly danced, and the moment the black cake touched the tip of his tongue, his mouth seemed to become a turbulent night sea, and on the top of the highest wave, a black swan girl was dancing.
It was the ultimate bloom, in the lightning and thunder of the sky, in the raging fury of the sea, the refreshing sensation touched by the taste buds converged into a torrent into every inch of the body, and then burst out in an instant.
“...... Hiss...... Ah......h
Jiang Xiaoliu's body trembled violently, his small eyes were closed, and a sound of relief came out of his throat.
It was the skeleton Jia Ren beside him, and there was a sound of bones staggering under the black robe, I don't know what he was going through.
As for Qi Xuance, his long narrow eyes were wide open, but when he looked closely, his pupils were not focused.
Because he was savoring the extreme bloom of transparency on the tip of his tongue and on his body.
Countless fine particles burst out violently in his mouth, and Qi Xuance wondered if he had stuffed 10,000 atomic bombs into his mouth, and the roar of the explosion on the senses simply made people forget everything.
After the roar, each black grain flowed out of juice, converging into a cold fragrance, like a cold current like a flame sliding through the throat, the liquid flowed to the stomach, but the cold rushed to the limbs and the top of the head, impacting every peripheral nerve, in the alternation of cold and heat, every bit of coolness in the bones and flesh was stimulated, and a wonderful freshness pierced the cerebral cortex.
......
After a short long time,
Qi Xuance's eyes gradually revealed clarity, while Jiang Xiaoliu and Jia Ren still seemed to be immersed in the impact.
"What does it feel like, good boy. The old man asked on the side, and Changfeng Fuyi looked at it with a smile on his face.
Qi Xuance swept his lips and teeth with his tongue, savoring the fragrance that gradually calmed down, revealing a wry smile.
"War. ”
"The very thing in front of me is worth waging a protracted war. ”
