The sparkle of curling, the golden light of the knife, and the dazzling of the fire lotus complement each other, like a beautiful picture.

Suddenly, all the guests present stood up and looked at this scene in disbelief.

"Cut it, cut it......" An old man was inexplicably excited.

"Really cut, really cut. 【Curling Fire Lotus】Can anyone finally taste it today, I'll smell the aroma. Another young man danced and spoke incoherently.

"Be quiet, don't be silent. Don't bother this little gentleman. Another diner whispered a warning.

Immediately, the bell and drum tower, which had just been noisy, fell silent the next moment, and many people involuntarily stood up, walked to the fence, and silently watched the blonde boy, unwilling to miss a single detail.

Squeak squeak squeak...... , The light gold knife slid gently in the curling, and in the blink of an eye, the three knives had been cut, and the knife was pulled out from the middle of the curling, and the blonde young man sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse." ”

Picking up the small tray next to it, which was also made of silver thread, approached the curling stone, the blonde boy took the knife and tapped it gently, and the ice in the corner of the curling stone was scattered, and a crystal like fire lotus blossomed out.

On the small silver tray, there is a beautiful flame lotus, the surface is inlaid with a thin layer of liquid ice crystals, and the fiery red color beats slightly, which is magnificent and dazzling.

It's a pity that the only fly in the ointment is that one of the nine-petal thistles is missing a corner and is slightly flawed.

Putting down the knife, the blonde boy smiled very calmly, and said apologetically: "It's a pity that the nine-petal fire lotus is missing a corner, and it has not been completed, which has ruined this rare dish." ”

The entire bell and drum tower was silent, and immediately, a burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out.

"Okay, three knives to take the fire lotus! ”

"Lao Tzu really didn't come in vain tonight, I didn't expect to see someone successfully cut the ice and take the lotus. ”

"What a great knife worker! Such a young man, with such a knife skill, this young man is really not simple. ”

Bursts of cheers resounded throughout the building, and many people flocked to the fence to see what was going on. For a time, at the fence of each floor of the Bell and Drum Tower, there was a crowded scene of three floors inside and three floors outside.

At this time, a faint fragrance spreads, lingering between the nose and lips, making people feel refreshed.

"This is the scent of thistle red lotus!" exclaimed one diner.

"The fragrance of the lotus is elegant, and it is wonderful! This fire lotus has been neutralized by the cold nature of liquid ice crystals, and its fragrance is so wonderful. An old foodie was obsessed.

"The smell alone is so tempting, I really don't know what it tastes like when you eat it in your mouth!" said another guest, whose mouth was already full of saliva, and kept swallowing saliva.

Suddenly, the onlookers had green eyes shining one by one, eager to pounce on the platform and snatch the fire lotus in the blonde boy's hand. For these foodies, the meaning of life lies in the appetite. A rare and rare delicacy is truly priceless, and everything else is just a floating cloud.

However, due to the rules of the bell and drum tower, no one dared to rush forward. After all, the original builder of the Bell and Drum Tower was Chen Xian of the Chen family, although this person was notorious, but, more than 200 years ago, in the Third Snow River War, Chen Xian was an outstanding figure who was called the three heroes of the Chen family with Chen Feng and Chen Di, and no one dared to offend Yu Wei.

On this platform, the middle-aged chef hurriedly stepped forward and covered the tray with a cover made of silver silk to prevent the fragrance of this thistle red lotus from draining. With admiration on his face, he bowed respectfully and said, "This gentleman's three swords are like gods, which has opened my eyes." Please wait a minute, the store will return 60 million credits immediately, sir, please follow me to the VIP box first, where there are special tableware to enjoy this [Curling Fire Lotus]. ”

It is no wonder that the middle-aged chef is so respectful, the method of this [Curling Fire Lotus] was created by Chen Xian in the past, but since Chen Xian's death, although some people have learned the practice of this rare delicacy, few people know how to cut ice and take lotus. Over time, even the chef of the Bell and Drum Tower only knows how to cook this rare dish, but does not know the art of eating.

The blonde boy waved his hand and said with a smile: "This [Curling Fire Lotus], I can smell the fragrance and I am not ready to enjoy it myself." ”

Hearing this, the people of the entire bell and drum tower were stunned at first, and then they burst out, and the voices of the people were boiling like a tide, and the sound was higher and higher.

"This little gentleman, I will bid 100 million credits and give me this thistle red lotus. ”

"100 million credits? Do you want to call Hanako? I'll give you 200 million credits, Mr. Xiao, sell them to me." ”

"Hmph, you misers, such a rare delicacy, if you miss today, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it for the rest of your life. I am only willing to spend such a small amount of money, Mr. Xiao, sell me a fire lotus, and I am willing to pay 100 million credits. ”

All of a sudden, the whole building exploded, as noisy as a vegetable market, and the diners present kept crowding forward, crowding people, stepping on their feet, eager to pounce on the half-empty platform in the center.

Looking around, the blond boy smiled apologetically and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry! I'm not going to sell this delicacies, I want to give it to the lady on the top floor to taste." ”

As he spoke, the blonde boy stretched out his left hand and pointed to a table on the top floor, which was the table where Chen Qinglian and Sun Yan were sitting.

"This young lady, I don't know if I can have this honor, please taste this [Curling Fire Lotus]. "The blonde boy's manners are gentle and courteous, impeccable.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes brushed to the top floor, wanting to see who the blonde boy was talking about. When they saw Chen Qinglian wearing sunglasses and a wide black trench coat, many people couldn't help but be stunned, but they couldn't see what the girl's face was.

However, among the guests present, there were many people with vicious eyes, and when they looked at Chen Qinglian in full disguise, some people were already amazed.

"This young lady is glamorous and restrained, charming and natural, she is really a stunning beauty!"

"Three knives to take the fire lotus, dedicated to the pretty woman, will definitely become a good story of the bell and drum tower. Well, tonight was not in vain!"

"Yes, yes, this girl is born with charming bones, and she is a natural stunner! If she gets on the bed, she really doesn't know how wonderful it tastes, hehe, this little gentleman's eyes are really vicious. ”

Food and color have never been separated. Most of the guests present were veterans of flowers, looking at Chen Qinglian's head and arguing, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter that all men understand.

Seeing this, Sun Yan frowned slightly, and a trace of discomfort passed through his heart, but he didn't know why he felt this way. His lips moved, Sun Yan didn't say anything, his identity at the moment is Chen Qinglian's personal bodyguard, and he also accompanies him to eat, so it is inconvenient to have any changes.

However, the apricot eyebrows behind Chen Qinglian's sunglasses were erected, and the eyelashes at the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, showing that the girl was in a very unhappy mood at the moment.

Seeing a pair of eyes staring at this side, Chen Qinglian was silent for a moment, a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his demeanor was noble, and he said crisply: "Thank you very much for this gentleman's kindness, but I am very sorry to give me such a rare delicacy for no reason to enjoy alone." ”

At this moment, Chen Qinglian's every move, even the strictest etiquette teacher can't find fault, just like a princess from an imperial noble family, extremely noble and deceitful.

These words were dealt with decently, and they immediately made the people around her think highly of this girl. It is guessed that this girl may be of noble birth and disguised as this, and may have sneaked out to see the three treasures of the Zhonggulou Town Store.

At the same time, there are also some people who taste it, and the girl's words clearly imply that the blonde boy can eat with her.

I couldn't help but feel that the male compatriots among the guests looked at the blonde boy with a mixture of envy and jealousy, while those women were suffocated, and many women were still thinking about how to communicate with the blonde boy and get to know each other better at night.

Next to him, Sun Yan was a little depressed, and said secretly, Brother, I am also a fresh grass! Why are you so polite to this blonde little white face, and you are so cold to me.

The blonde boy's smile remained unchanged, and he said sincerely: "When you were eating just now, Miss, your enthusiastic attitude towards food was like a beautiful scene, which I have only seen in my life. I think that this [Curling Fire Lotus] is only qualified to be enjoyed by young ladies. ”

On the side, Sun Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, is this kid blind? Chen Qinglian looked like a hungry ghost reincarnated when he was eating, and he was ashamed of himself as a man. However, the girl is originally a stunning and naturally beautiful, so the appearance when eating is not ugly.

It's just that it's an exaggeration to say that it's a beautiful scene.

Grandma is a bear, and men really have to talk flatteringly and have a lotus tongue to deceive girls? Brother, I'm still too pure.

At this time, he saw Chen Qinglian's smile change, the corners of his mouth revealed a coldness, and he said lightly: "However, my family has a family motto, requiring members of the family to do it themselves and have enough food and clothing. If I want to taste this [Curling Fire Lotus], I will naturally do it myself. I only have the heart of this gentleman. ”

Between the words, there was a rejection of indifference thousands of miles away, and from beginning to end, Chen Qinglian didn't look at the thistle red lotus.

The blond-haired boy was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry! This young lady, I didn't think about it and violated your family motto." I apologize for the inconvenience. Besides, this thistle fire red lotus, with nine petals missing a corner, is really offensive to give it to the young lady to taste like this. ”

As he spoke, putting the small push plate on the dining table, the blonde boy turned to the middle-aged chef and said, "I came to Gu Fengxing on this trip to cut ice and extract lotus, and fulfill an elder's wish. Now that the goal has been achieved, this thistle fire red lotus will be handed over to the Bell and Drum Tower, and your store will dispose of it by itself. ”

"This ...... , how can this work, how can this work!"

The middle-aged chef refused repeatedly, but his gaze at the fire lotus was extremely hot, he had been doing [Curling Fire Lotus] for so many years, but he didn't know the skill of cutting ice and taking lotus, and he had never tasted the taste of this rare dish once.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding guests were immediately unhappy, this blonde boy cut the ice to take the lotus, and successfully took out a thistle red lotus, which has fulfilled many people's wishes in life, and successfully won the favor of everyone present. In addition, this young man's words and deeds, every move, are polite and impeccable.

Such a young man is simply the perfect lover in the girl's mind, and he makes such a polite invitation, what else do you have to take this girl?
