Chapter 18: A Luncheon with a Difference

"Zizi ......"

The bright red meat strips, wrapped in golden oil, and the wisps of unique mellow fragrance, made the saliva in the mouths of several diners on the side unstoppably overflow their mouths, and at this moment, their stomachs began to gurgle.

This Japanese-style canteen is doing brisk business, and it's only half past eleven in the morning, if it weren't for the advance reservation, Zhan Jingyi suspected that they would have to wait in line under the scorching sun outside like everyone else.

This canteen is not very large, there are more than a dozen tables scattered around the perimeter of the hall, and in the center of the hall there is a circular table, and now there is a chef wearing a chef's hat, cooking food on the iron plate.

And Zhan Jingyi and Candle Dragon are now sitting on the edge of the paper table, where they can watch the whole process of the chef standing inside making dishes, and enjoy the food and wine at the same time.

"It smells so good!"

Several people stared at the bright red and fat pieces of meat on the iron plate in front of them, and couldn't help but swallow the foam in their mouths.

At this moment, the cross-friction of the two knives and forks with arcs made a sound of "boom, boom, boom, ......".

This sound made the eyes of diners suddenly focus on the chef in front of them.

This chef, about 30 years old, with a slightly chubby figure, wears a towering chef's hat, a white and neat kitchen skirt, looks shrewd and capable, and a smile on his fat face, which makes people feel very kind.

A salmon with flat sides, a raised back, sharp teeth, small scales, silvery-gray, and a thin and round body is cut by the chef with a knife, the scales are cut, the intestines are opened, and the bones are deboned and sliced.

Only three knives and two picks, on the table, fish bones, fish viscera, fish meat, are all placed on the table in rows.

The fat chef cooks the meal, his expression is very focused, his expression is meticulous, and the knife technique that looks ordinary is in the hands of the fat chef, showing the side of turning decay into magic, and evolving into an art of appreciation.

Precise, perfect, and perfect, the life of this fish seems to have been sublimated.

During the whole process, the diners sitting at the table couldn't take their eyes off at all, and more and more saliva was secreted in their mouths.

Zhan Jingyi's expression on the side became more and more strange, although he looked at these foods very vividly and very deliciously, but his body told him that these things were not good.

The meat and fish that have been fried on the iron plate are swept into the lettuce on one side by the chef, smeared with a little special seasoning, and placed in a beautiful table.

"Fish fried."

The combination of bright red pieces of meat, golden on both sides, and clearly textured salmon exudes an offbeat and unique allure.

"Hmm!"

A diner in front of the seat took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't control the joy on his face.

"It's delicious."

Several diners tasted it one after another, not knowing whether the meat and fish were really fried and sweet, or the seasoning that made the food more delicious, in short, several diners seemed to be transformed into gluttony, desperately grabbing the food on the plate.

The strength of that kind of food is different from it, and it is so fragrant that you can't wait to swallow your tongue into it.

Even female diners who hold their own identities can't control their emotions after eating, because the taste produced by these simple pieces of meat is unforgettable, as if there are elves dancing on their taste buds, and the feeling is unimaginable.

……

At this time, the candle dragon was also holding a piece of fish meat and was sending it to his mouth, when suddenly a hand blocked his mouth.

He turned his head in surprise, Zhan Jingyi looked at him with a serious face, and shook his head slowly.

"What?"

Candle Dragon looked puzzled, looked down at the fish in his hand, no matter how it smelled or looked, it was very delicious.

What's the problem?

After Zhan Jingyi grabbed the candle dragon, he stared at the fat chef in front of him, and said word by word: "Is this food really edible?" ”

The fat chef looked at him with a smile and after a while, said, "It's bad behavior to waste food, eat it." ”

Shoved a plate of barbecue meat in front of his eyes, looked at him steadily, and picked up the kitchen knife placed aside with the other hand.

The candle dragon on the side also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and looked back and forth between the chef and Zhan Jingyi in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

"Greed, gluttony, laziness, lust, rage, arrogance, and jealousy, these are the seven deadly sins of the old human race, and now that you have discovered it, experience the power of gluttony."

Without waiting for Zhan Jingyi and Candle Dragon to do something, the fat chef muttered a few words to himself, and then lay crooked on the ground.

The two were shocked, and as soon as the candle dragon pressed the table, he rushed into the paper table with a "whoosh", touched the fat chef's nose, felt that he was still breathing, and stood up to look at Zhan Jingyi.

"What happened just now?"

"My spiritual power felt different fluctuations in him, as if there was another person's existence." Zhan Jingyi's face was also a little dazed.

Yes, as soon as he came in, he felt that there seemed to be another spiritual force in this chef, this power controlled the chef's work, and he could feel that the food he made seemed to be a little different.

"Control?" Candle Dragon was also a little surprised, how could he come to have lunch and encounter such a thing.

Is he too unlucky? Or is he too unlucky?

Could it be Conan's possession?

……

"Delicious, delicious."

A well-dressed man, holding a few pieces of lettuce-wrapped fish in his hand, desperately stuffed it into his mouth, and after a while the meat was stuffed into his mouth, he chewed and banged on the table.

"Waiter, hurry up and serve the food, starving."

Similar voices came and went, and for a while, the restaurant seemed to be turned into a pigsty, with countless piglets waiting to be fed.

"Something isn't right." Zhan Jingyi's face was a little serious and he looked at the scene in front of him.

The restaurant was obviously in chaos, and the waiters had disappeared at some point, and there was no one to maintain order.

A man couldn't hold back his desire to eat, got up, and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

For a moment, most of the diners at the restaurant followed, their eyes bloodshot as they swarmed away.

Only a few diners who had not yet eaten looked at this scene in surprise, a little at a loss.

The back kitchen of the moment.

It has become a mess, and several people in chef's clothes and waiter clothes are squatting in front of a bag of rice, handful of raw rice, desperately sending it to their mouths, as if it were all delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Soon, the back kitchen was filled with people, as if the entire canteen was crowded into the back kitchen, and soon, even the raw rice was eaten up.

When they found out that the food had been eaten, the bloodshot in everyone's eyes became even redder, and everyone seemed to have lost their minds, as if they had become insatiable gluttonies.

……

At the same time, similar incidents are being staged in various canteens and restaurants in Qingcheng!

When hungry people eat everything they have to eat in restaurants and families, they start to take to the streets and grab everything they can eat, everyone's eyes are bloodshot, and hunger has made them lose their minds.

There was even an old man with a swollen belly, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant in October, but he still kept eating with a big belly, and a young man next to him called "Father." While rushing forward to stop him, he was knocked to the ground by the old man.

Soon, the hungry old man crawled on top of the young man, and even if the young man resisted desperately, he couldn't resist the old man who was crazy because of hunger.

Biting, biting, biting and biting......

The young man struggled desperately, but the movement of the struggle became smaller and the screams became lower and lower......

The blood of young people is mixed with the mess all over the ground, forming a unique charm.

A tragedy is unfolding......

This scene, as if there was some kind of magic, was reflected in everyone's pupils.

Spreading out in the air, more and more onlookers were infected and participated, and everyone was swallowing saliva.

In their eyes, everything around them seems to have become so delicious that it is waiting for them to taste.

……

At the moment, Qingcheng, the city center, Quanshui Square.

"It's a gift, it's a gift, a box of 6 eggs, scan the QR code to join the group, give it away for free, no money."

A hoarse shout, a stall in the square was holding a promotion, which soon attracted a large number of people, especially the old ladies who were strolling, and they flocked to it.

After a while, the booth was lined up with people, and the columns were receiving free eggs.

But eggs are limited after all, not long ago, after the eggs were given, some staff shouted with a loudspeaker, the eggs have been delivered, please don't queue up again.

But the people in the queue behind didn't seem to hear it, and the line was still long and thick.

Not far away, there is still an endless stream of old people, who are calling for friends.

Under the scorching sun, the staff of the booth in front kept shouting through loudspeakers, but the people below seemed to be indifferent, but the people around them slowly approached.

Although the staff were shouting desperately with loudspeakers, they saw more and more people gathering over, and the staff's shouts became lower and lower......

All around, everyone was frantically surrounded, and the voices of reprimand, blaming why they didn't give it away, the sounds seemed to have magical power, constantly hitting everyone's eardrums.

The people around who were watching the bustle, and the policemen who found that there were some problems here and wanted to go over to maintain order, I don't know if they were shocked by the crazy scene in front of them, they all stopped what they were doing, and they all looked at the scene in front of them stupidly.

Until, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, a manic atmosphere was brewing in the crowd, and the manic people quickly overturned the stalls, and the staff were knocked to the ground.

The various items on the stall have been scattered all over the ground, mixed with the blood of the staff.

This scene, as if there was some kind of magic, was reflected in everyone's pupils.

"Greed, gluttony, laziness, lust, rage, arrogance, jealousy, these are the seven deadly sins of the old man, it's time to show the power of greed."

In the distance, a man in a burgundy suit, long hair, and a smile on his face muttered to himself.

At the same time, similar incidents are happening in various large squares in Qingcheng City!

People angrily toppled the shelves of donated items and beat the staff who stood on the side, everyone's eyes were full of bloodshots, and the slightest power of greed spread out in the air, and more and more onlookers were infected and participated.

The city is full of greed and gluttony, and it spreads through the air like a contagious disease.

A riot, a calamity seems to be brewing, and the next moment, it seems to erupt.
