"Zhiyi, do you still eat the plate of fried meat next to you, if you don't eat it, Paimon and I will eat it for you, after all, wasting food or something is a very shameful behavior."

"I don't really want to eat this dish, it's just Paimon, can your stomach really handle it?"

At the judges' table in the preliminary round of the cooking competition, he heard Paimon ask him for the pot of dishes next to him that he had already scored, and although he felt that the dish tasted good, looking at Paimon's bulging belly, Zhiyi still asked Paimon with some hesitation.

After all, even if you miss the food, you will still have a chance to eat it in the future, but the stomach is your own, and if it breaks, I am afraid that your life will be in danger.

"Yes, yes, judge, is it really okay for your little pet to eat so many dishes? I am worried about the next. ”

A judge on the side who Ying didn't know also echoed Zhiyi's words, although Ying didn't know this judge, but this judge knew Ying, the celebrity in front of Ningguang.

After seeing Paimon eat more than a dozen plates of food with his own eyes, the judge was also a little worried about Paimon's body, in case Paimon had some accident here, even if it had nothing to do with him, then he was afraid that it would affect his future.

"Ying, I think I can still eat, let me eat a few more plates."

Paimon saw that the two judges around Ying didn't want to give her anything to eat, and she immediately looked at Ying with pitiful eyes, because the scale of the cooking competition held this time was huge, so the number of participants was extremely large, and some dishes that Paimon had never eaten also appeared on the judges' table through the hands of the chefs who came to participate in the cooking competition, which made Paimon eat a little unstoppable.

"No, Paimon can't eat any more, and if you eat any more, you may not even be able to fly."

Ying looked at Paimon's bulging stomach and refused Paimon's request without thinking about it, and said that although Paimon drank porridge and noodles for a day yesterday because of a toothache, she had never been harsh on Paimon before that, and now Paimon acted like she couldn't eat enough, which was too embarrassing for her.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Paimon's face as she touched her round belly, finally finding a place where she could eat for free, and although she was a bit of a stretch now, she could still eat a few more plates of food if she pressed it.

The hateful Ying didn't let her eat a good meal, she was really angry with Paimon, and she didn't know what Zhongli and Mona on the other side were eating, Paimon who was slumped in the chair puffed out his face angrily, and at the same time guessed in his heart what Zhongli and Mona were eating on the opposite side of the judges' seat.

In order to make the competition more fair and just, the judges of the preliminary round were divided into left and right sides, unfortunately, Ying was assigned to the left, and Mona and Zhongli who came with Ying were assigned to the right, which caused Paimon to only guess what Zhongli and Mona were eating in his mind, but Paimon could not see the specific actions of the two very clearly.

Just as Paimon was thinking about whether to fly over to take a look, Zhongli in another judge's seat suddenly went dark on the physical level in front of him, and the old man Zhongli, who could taste the slime dishes made by Xiangling, looked at the food in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously.

"Judge, please taste my creative cuisine."

Seeing that Zhongli didn't move for a long time, the contestant who brought the food to the judges' table also urged Zhongli, which made Zhongli also sure that the black thing with his face was really a plate of dishes.

And after Zhongli determined that this black thing was a dish and not the charcoal burned by the contestant in front of him, he also looked at the contestant in front of him who sent this dish to him with a suspicious look, if it wasn't for perceiving it and making sure that the dish in front of him was not poisonous, Zhongli really thought that the guy in front of him was trying to poison him.

"This contestant, tell me about your dish."

Not seeing what the black dish in front of him was, Zhongli also calmly asked the contestant in front of him, although his heart was not as calm as his tone at this time.

"Judge Zhongli, my dish is called stir-fried coconut shell charcoal, don't look at my dish as black, but my dish is a creative dish."

"Since the ingredients are purchased by the people of the General Affairs Department, we are not allowed to bring our own, and the black things in the dishes are that I specially asked the people of the General Affairs Department to apply for the coconut shell charcoal bought from an Inazuma merchant, it is said that it is good for the body after eating, in order to retain the original flavor and efficacy of this coconut shell carbon, I only handed over some coconut milk to stimulate the fragrance of coconut shell carbon when frying, you can always while it is hot."

Coir carbon? Isn't that a type of carbon? Is this thing really edible? Looking at the large plate of black things in front of him, Zhongli finally knew why Ruo Ban didn't want to be a judge.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the contestant in front of him, Zhongli, who didn't want to disappoint his people, took a deep breath and slowly put a small piece of coconut shell carbon into his mouth, and then only heard a click, and black smoke spewed out directly from Zhongli's mouth with his breath.

Seeing that Zhongli was spitting black smoke from his mouth, Baizhu, who was invited in order to allow the judges to be treated as soon as possible after being poisoned, also immediately stepped forward to check the situation, and after practicing medicine for so many years, Baizhu had never seen such a strange disease.

Later, under a series of inspections by Baizhu, Zhongli also rinsed his mouth with five full glasses of water, which barely cleaned up the black things on his teeth, and seeing that Zhongli had returned to normal, Baizhu also said with some distress.

"Mr. Zhongli, you don't want to stuff anything into your mouth, if you see any strange dishes, you might as well check it before eating, once this kind of thing enters your lungs, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Ahem, I know Dr. Baizhu, I'm really bothering you."

Zhongli, who has lived for thousands of years and has never eaten carbon, experienced it today, except that he felt that this carbon was really unpalatable, he actually didn't have anything particularly uncomfortable, just looking at Baizhu's serious face, Zhongli also nodded to indicate that he knew.

And after Baizhu left, Mona, who was sitting next to Zhongli, also gave Zhongli a thumbs up, Zhongli deserved to be Zhongli, she could be expressionless after tasting this strange food, if she was allowed to taste it, she was afraid that she would be disgusted for a long time.

Just as Mona was still sitting on a chair and tasting the food while glad that no contestant had come to her with a strange dish to taste and score, a contestant suddenly came to her with a plate, and before Mona could speak, the contestant said.

"Ask the judges to taste my creative dish, spicy tofu stewed sunset fruit"
