Chapter 34: The Mesmerizing Confit Duck

"Shut up, you Donghua boy, Zoe will go to Donghua one day, but then I will take my glory to shine on the entire land of Donghua, instead of following you to Donghua as an apprentice now." Said the god of the silo confit duck.

"I'll go to Donghuaguo, but not now." Seeing that Zoe in front of her has changed from a little girl who wants to pass happiness on to others through food, to a person who just uses food as a tool for her fame, Li Zhonglun is very sad in his heart.

After eating the last confit duck made by Zoe, Li Zhonglun left the country of Ciro with loss.

"Zoe, congratulations on making the right choice, I have always been very optimistic about you, your talent and your heart are excellent, and then I will take you to meet some people to improve your cooking skills." After seeing the last person who stood in Zoe's mood go, the god of the Silo Duck took Zoe to an ancient castle on the edge of a mountain cliff.

After returning to China, Li Zhonglun began to want to eat confit duck, crazy to eat confit duck, and if he couldn't eat the taste in his heart, he would become irritable.

At first, he thought it was because of his feelings for Zoe, until after eating the fried vegetables of the oil-sealed vermilion deer legs from the Shanhai Food Garden, he felt that a layer of black fog that had been shrouded in his soul had been torn open. It was only then that he realized that something was wrong.

"Why is this happening?" Thinking back to his state after returning to China, Li Zhonglun felt as if he had changed as a different person.

However, Li Zhonglun is not a person in the food industry, nor is he a foodie, although he has found out that something is wrong now, but there is no way to do it.

Now the only thing Li Zhonglun can do is to eat fried vegetables with fried red deer legs in oil confit every day, and with the consumption of this dish every day, the black fog in Li Zhonglun's heart has finally been dispelled, and the spirit of the discovery of blessings in disguise has become clearer.

Li Zhonglun, whose thinking is becoming clearer and clearer, seems to have discovered some unusual things about the oil confit duck that fascinated him so much through the clues in his memories.

"Uncle Li, help me book a ticket to Cairo immediately, I have something to verify!" Li Zhonglun said to Steward Li.

In this way, Li Zhonglun quietly embarked on the road back to Xiluo.

……

Since the fried pearl fish fillet was put on the shelves, Zhang Mingchuan's life has also been back on track.

Zhang Mingchuan came out early the next morning, seeing that the big orange cat had no change, eating and sleeping every day, waking up and eating, Zhang Mingchuan felt that its potential stopped there, so he never continued to feed it the spirit materials of the beast.

The pan-fried pearl cockroach fillet has also become a hot-selling dish because of the flu season formed by this hot and cold climate, and the treatment effect is better than that of Western medicine prescription drugs.

"I am an ordinary office worker, working alone in Xijing, irregular work and rest, insecure diet, and I contracted the flu some time ago, and I dare not ask for leave. Fortunately, I was recommended by my friends to this pan-fried pearl cockroach fillet, after eating it, guess what, hey, the waist is not sore, the legs are not painful, and the cold is also good after sleeping, which is faster than taking medicine, and the price is cheaper than a course of medicine. "Little bones.

The immediate effect is an iron-like quality inspection book. Under the word of mouth, the pan-fried pearl cockroach fish fillet has crossed over from the food circle to the patient circle without accident.

And the reason why Zhang Mingchuan didn't enter the desolate world again this week was because he encountered the most challenging dish so far.

"The Mountains of Yua. There are many catalpas on it, and there are many wattles on it. The surplus water comes out of the Yan and flows eastward into the yellow water. There is a beast, its shape is like a bird beak, the owl eyes and the tail of the snake, the person sleeps when he sees it, the name is armadillo, its song is self-praised, and the locust is defeated when he sees it. ”

"Luqi Mountain, no grass and trees, many sand stones, sand and water out of the Yan, the south flow is poured into the water, among which there are many pelicans, its shape is like a mandarin duck and human feet, its song is self-praised, see its country has many soil skills."

"The mountain of Gufeng has no grass and trees, and there is a lot of gold and jade. There is a beast, its shape is like a fox and has wings, its sound is like a wild goose, its name is called a fox, and there is a great drought in the world when you see it. ”

The Gate on the right side shows the introduction of the three peaks at the same time.

"Please make a [perfect quality three-wire stewed noodles], hint: the three mountains are connected, walk through them, the current merit luck point is too low, and the probability of survival is extremely low." The Gate of Xuanmu on the left shows the way.

Zhang Mingchuan looked at the merit qi points needed to break through to the third layer of the self-refining realm, and the merit qi luck points needed were doubled compared to the second layer, and at the current growth rate, it would take at least two weeks, and now there was still half of the merit qi luck points.

"Now I can't seem to feel the enhancement of my physique anymore." As a must-have appetizer for every meal, the fish belly can no longer enhance Zhang Mingchuan's physical fitness.

Zhang Mingchuan, who has greatly increased his appetite, is constantly absorbing the energy in the food of the strange beasts, which can be said to complement each other with the refining of merit and luck, the energy in the beasts is constantly improving Zhang Mingchuan's basic level, and the merit and luck are constantly consolidating and raising Zhang Mingchuan's upper limit.

After the continuous enrichment of the energy in the alien beasts, Zhang Mingchuan was three points stronger when he had just broken through to the second layer of the refining realm, and this was still without the premise of real-time refining merit and luck.

"Wait another week, and then wait until you break through to the third layer of the Self-Refining Realm to see if you can go to the Flood World." During this time, Zhang Mingchuan considered that it would be a long trip to enter the desolate world, and had already begun to prepare long-term survival materials in advance, as well as ordering a cold weapon online for self-defense.

"The power of the wind blade is simply chicken ribs for stronger and stronger alien beasts, and it is much more reliable than a cold weapon." I have been in danger many times because of the lack of power of the wind blade, but now that I have enough time, I naturally have to prepare a cold weapon.

Although the various kitchen knives in the mysterious kitchen are miraculous, their short size limits their usefulness, and now Zhang Mingchuan has ordered an eight-layer chromium-molybdenum powder high-speed steel tempered Tang knife on the Internet, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of his heroic dream.

Because it is custom-made, even if Zhang Mingchuan does an urgent express, he will need to wait another two days to receive it.

……

In a residential house in an old community in Xijing, there is a seemingly ordinary couple who are having an unusual conversation.

"Today, Wu Chang came to the news that there is a dish on the market in Xijing, a dish that can cure diseases, which is sold by a takeaway restaurant called Shanhai Food Garden, called Pan-fried Pearl Cockroach Fish Fillet, which changes and controls people's bodies and spirits through medicinal food, which coincides with the purpose of our association, so the team leader asked us to secretly investigate this takeaway restaurant." The wife said to her husband.

"The development of our dark culinary world in Xiluo Kingdom, Northern Eagle Kingdom, Nanni Kingdom, and Da'ao Island is all in full swing, but the suppressed people in this Donghua Country can't raise their heads, and they can only act in the shadows, and they are assigned to perform tasks here, which is really unlucky." The husband said.

"Don't forget, Donghua is in an absolute hegemonic position among the five major powers, although the mission risk is high now, as long as it can be transferred to other branches in the future, its status will naturally be higher than that of the guys from the other four countries." The wife continued.

"It is said that our association has now completely controlled Da'ao Island, and the Xiluo Kingdom is also progressing smoothly, so we must also work hard and make some contributions." The wife went on to get to the point.

"It's been less than a month since this Shanhai Food Garden came out, and I heard that it has caused a lot of turmoil in the Xijing food industry, and Tang Fengge has also declined because of him, but the owner of this restaurant has always been very mysterious." As the wife of a waiter in the only two-star restaurant in Xijing, she can naturally hear a lot of gossip.

"Since we are responsible for distribution, there must be traces, we have a two-pronged approach, from the distribution personnel and the relevant personnel who are related after the disclosure, even including Tang Fengge's Qiao father and son, are all clues for us to proceed." The husband followed suit.

"As soon as you say this, Qiao's father and son were so badly harmed by the Shanhai Food Garden, can we try to start with them first, I believe they have no choice." The wife said.

"Don't worry, let's see how the dishes in Shanhai Food Garden are going first." The husband ordered a pan-fried pearl fish fillet.

Fifteen minutes later, the husband looked at the drone that disappeared from the sky with a tiny camera and felt that things seemed to be going well.

"Come, try it," the husband returned home with the takeaway he had just received.

"I don't see anything special." Looking at the fish fillet that was barely covered with a layer in the takeaway box, the husband took the lead in picking up a piece.

Put it in your mouth and taste it carefully, bite into the crispy coat, the Q-bomb fish meat beats in the mouth, and the delicate taste turns into a fish fragrance that fills the mouth, accompanied by a touch of acidity and sweetness, and swallows it into the stomach.

"Black pepper, lemon juice, salt, sugar, even I can't even eat what herbs are added to it." The husband frowned and thought as he said the seasoning he tasted.

"I don't know what medicinal herbs are in it, and I can't eat a trace of medicinal taste! How the hell is it done! "The husband is stuck in a dead end.

"Calm down, let's take a look at the footage captured by the camera first, and then just grab the chef and ask him directly." The wife comforted her husband next to her.

"Well, you're right, I feel from this dish that there is definitely a secret cooking technique hidden in it, as long as we get it and offer it, we don't have to continue to venture on the front line in the future." The husband looked at his wife beside him affectionately and said.

He took out his phone, opened the program connected to the camera, and a video was transmitted to his phone.
