After the door of Full Mountain Red was opened, the banner hanging in the hall fell into the view of the other spectators, which immediately triggered a lot of discussion.
"Dark cuisine competition? What's that? Did the previous competition schedule mention it? "
An older cultivator who was more familiar with the situation shook his head. "The previous explanation materials did not give a detailed explanation of the rules of each competition. But I remember that among the several sub-events of the food competition, one of them seems to test the tolerance of the contestants … "
Speaking to this, the strange smell from inside the door came into his nose. The older cultivator's face suddenly changed and he could no longer speak.
Fortunately, he was, after all, a cultivator. He circulated the magical power in his body and swept away the feeling of annoyance. Then, he stiffly said, "I now begin to suspect that the rumor that Wang Lu and Liu Li have a good relationship may not be accurate. Being able to ruthlessly let their Junior Sister participate in this competition, I think they are more like enemies. "
At the same time, a considerable part of the audience closest to the hall retreated with livid faces, willing to give up the position worth ten thousand spirit stones!
The smell in the restaurant was really strange! It was not a foul smell, but a strange and indescribable odor. At the same time, every inch of their body was strongly resisting and rejecting the smell.
"It's like putting all the inedible things in the world into a pot and cooking them."
However, although this smell could make the audience retreat, it could not stop Wang Lu and Liu Li, who had already made up their minds to fight.
The two of them walked into the restaurant hand in hand. As the host of the competition, Wang Lu stood in the middle of the hall. Liu Li consciously sat in front of a round table, ready to fight.
The next moment, a fat figure appeared out of thin air in front of the opposite round table. It was the Food Immortal who came directly to the venue with a teleportation spell. The defeat a few days ago seemed to have been completely ignored by him. The fat Food Immortal appeared in front of Wang Lu with a smile, but the next moment, the smile froze on his face.
"W-What is this smell?"
Wang Lu shrugged. "Of course it's the smell of wine, meat, and food."
The Food Immortal shouted, "When you say that, take off the mask that covers your mouth and nose!"
Wang Lu coughed. "Sorry, I have a cold. I don't want to infect anyone."
"You were just talking and laughing with your fans!" The Food Immortal mercilessly exposed him.
"Yeah, I was infected by the passionate people at that time." Wang Lu insisted on being shameless.
"… Forget it, I don't have time to waste with you. I remember you said that the theme of today's competition is to compete on food intake. What's with this dark cuisine competition?! "
Wang Lu said, "The purpose of the competition hasn't changed. It's still a competition of food intake. However, there were many explanations for the amount of food one could eat. If it was purely about quantity, it would be a waste for both gourmets and gourmets. Because in this kind of competition, no one would care about the taste of the food itself. It would be like stuffing a duck with no sense of beauty. Therefore, the amount of food consumed in this competition is more about one's tolerance and capacity. "
The Food Immortal said, "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but how do you explain the words' dark cuisine '? What about the disgusting smell in the kitchen?! What does it have to do with your tolerance and capacity?! "
Wang Lu explained unhurriedly, "The so-called dark cuisine, in general, refers to those dishes that fail to cook, have a strange color and smell, and even disgusting taste. However, this banner is actually a little misunderstanding by the owner of Full Mountain Red Restaurant. He blindly classified the food that he couldn't understand and couldn't appreciate as dark cuisine. This is a manifestation of ignorance, which is not my intention. In fact, my topic for this competition is: promote the diversification of food values and enhance the tolerance of food tasting. "
The Food Immortal was stunned. "What diversification?"
Wang Lu said, "Food is ever-changing and endless. At the same time, it is also different from person to person and place to place. For example, in my hometown, Wang Family Village, there are many people who can't adapt to spicy food. My food is poison to others. Senior Food Immortal must have a deep understanding of this. And the diversification of food values that I said refers to broadening one's tolerance, being able to accept all kinds of food from all places. "
While they were talking, a chef from the kitchen had already brought out a pot of steaming soup. Putting aside the strange smell, the chef who was cooking the soup was actually wearing a thick mask. Furthermore, after putting down the pot of soup, he immediately turned around and ran, not staying for even a moment longer!
The Food Immortal's eyes widened. Even the chef is avoiding this dish. What kind of delicacy is this!?
On the other hand, Wang Lu, without batting an eyelid, lifted the lid of the soup pot. Suddenly, a hundred times stronger odor assaulted their nostrils, causing the audience outside the hall to collectively retreat a few steps. And when they saw the scene in the pot, many people's stomachs turned over.
In the pot, in the dark soup, a large number of white larvae stacked on top of each other, constantly squirming and struggling, as if the soul was being tortured in purgatory.
"… This is a food?"
Wang Lu nodded. "This is a kind of delicacy of the indigenous tribes in the border area of the Blue River Region. Although the appearance is not good, it is actually very nutritious. This kind of white larvae is carefully cultivated in a very clean environment, rich in various nutrients, and more valuable than the meat we eat. And this soup is also boiled out of herbs, which has the effect of avoiding poison and heat. The locals regard this kind of insect soup as the most precious delicacy, and only when they receive the noblest guests will they serve it for people to drink. "
The Food Immortal pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Wang Lu said, "Empty words are no proof, I will eat first as a sign of respect."
With that, he stretched out his hand and picked up a white worm in the soup pot. The fat and tender worm struggled violently in the air, its head swung back and forth, and the black soup spilled on the table. Wang Lu shook his hand, then sent it to his mouth and bit off half of the worm's body!
Puff!
Like biting a plump fruit, the worm's colorful body fluid splashed out, as if drawing a rainbow … Wang Lu chewed a few times, swallowed it, and then grinned. "Delicious."
However, at the same time, many of the audience outside the venue were already pale.
The complexion of the Food Immortal also changed slightly. For the Food Immortal, although insects were not a frequent guest on the menu, they were not rare. When he first cultivated in the tropical woodland, he had eaten no less than ten thousand insects, and he had mastered thousands of ways to cook insects.
But among those ten thousand insects, there was never this one.
Carrion Insect, living on carrion. Inside its fat and tender body, the colorful body fluid was all rotten, and all of them were poisonous. Moreover, the taste was extremely cold, like a sharp knife scraping the tongue. Although the herbal soup could dissolve the poison, the taste could not be changed. Such a soup was simply difficult to swallow!
This was especially true for the Food Immortal who had a super keen sense of taste! The joy and pain of tasting delicious food were a hundred times stronger for him than for ordinary people. Wang Lu's wooden tongue could endure the discomfort and say it was delicious, but for him to eat it, it was a heart-wrenching pain.
Thinking of this, the Food Immortal turned his gaze to Liu Li …
He had also heard a bit about this young girl who often followed Wang Lu around. In addition to her astonishing Brilliant Sword Heart physique, she was also famous for her food fanaticism. It was said that some time ago, she once single-handedly ate a large restaurant. After witnessing it with his own eyes, the Food Immortal could feel that the girl had the same breath as him.
She was also a glutton …
Such a person was bound to be picky about food. Could she stand eating carrion insect soup?
However, just when the Food Immortal was in doubt, he saw Wang Lu put the remaining half of the insect in his hand to Liu Li's mouth. The girl swallowed the insect completely and then burst into a dazzling smile.
"Delicious!"
The Food Immortal wanted to flip the table: Delicious my a * s! Tears are flowing out of the corner of your eyes!
However, Liu Li still didn't give up. After eating the insect, she simply picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the black soup and drank it. "Delicious!"
"You have a tremor when you speak!"
Wang Lu nodded and said, "That's the tremor caused by Liu Li's opening of her taste buds."
"This is the tremor of the explosion of the taste buds!" The Food Immortal could no longer tolerate it. "You said that the value of food should be diversified, and I agree with that. In the past, there was a dispute in the mainland food world over whether the tofu pudding should be sweet or salty, and they even fought each other, causing many cultivators to fall. That is the evil result of the simplistic value. But no matter how diversified it is, there should be a bottom line! Even the carrion insect has become a food, which is an insult to the food! I will never admit that you used this kind of unorthodox method! "
"I'm not surprised by this." Wang Lu shrugged and said, "Senior's immortal title is Food Immortal. Sixteen thousand years ago, she was a top expert in food, and her position in the food world is also very respected. She is the authority, the orthodoxy … But from another point of view, the so-called orthodoxy and authority are often obstacles to the development and growth of new things. You said that diversification should have a bottom line, but who draws the bottom line? You said that the carrion insect is an insult to the food, but in my opinion, isn't the sweet tofu pudding an insult to the tofu pudding? Whether it's an insult to the food or not, who is going to judge it? "
The questioning made the Food Immortal unable to speak. His mouth and tongue were used to taste delicacies, not to argue with people. Although he was not clumsy, he was obviously not qualified to quarrel with Wang Lu.
After a long silence, the Food Immortal looked at Wang Lu, who seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, and Liu Li, who, under the influence of the taste of the carrion insect soup, gently stuck out her tongue …
"Very well, since you want to compete, then let's compete."
The Food Immortal said, and then his eyes gradually became cold. "But don't blame me for not reminding you, when it comes to tasting novelty, you are far from qualified to be compared with me! When I was looking for ingredients in the barren mountains and dead lands, I have tasted everything! "
With that, he stretched out his thick arm, picked up the steaming soup bowl in front of Wang Lu, and then brought it to his mouth. He raised his hand, raised his head, and cleaned up the soup in one gulp!
"Hahaha, it's indeed a good taste."
The Food Immortal's expression was cold, and his voice was as cold as the ice of the nine underworlds. However, at the same time, a wisp of smoke rose from his throat …
