"Imperial prison? It's not that exaggerated. Besides, it's too tiring. I have to prepare four to five days in advance, bathe, and fast. I'm old and can't take it. "
Guo Shouque shrugged and knocked on the bamboo basket beside him. He smiled faintly and said, "Today, I'll wash my hands and make soup. I'll make a 'Imperial prison' for everyone."
Hehe.
Huai Shi's expression became more and more numb.
It was as if he was watching a cheater using an anti-aircraft gun to bully refugees who only had two AKs … Old bastard, where's your face?
Not far away, a few culinary demons who were not familiar with Dongxia looked over. They had no idea what they were talking about.
They were waiting for Huai Shi's further explanation. However, Huai Shi was not interested in being a commentator. He just rolled his eyes and said, "You guys can just treat this old man as a pretentious prick."
Anyway, if he was not lying, the result of the competition was already clear.
This was a sacrifice for the Shang Shi Feudal Lord … That guy was really steaming a nuclear warhead.
He closed his eyes and sighed silently.
In the silence, only the old man with one hand holding the steamer was humming in a low voice. He shook his head and sang a tune that had fallen behind many years ago.
Those songs that were no longer known by people.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of the kitchen bell rang.
15 minutes and 8 seconds.
Chai Chuanchuang finished cooking!
"I'm done."
In front of the kitchen table, the middle-aged culinary demon raised his head and announced solemnly.
"It's only a short time. Don't be anxious. You can take your time." Guo Shouque comforted him. "There's no rush …"
"I'm done!" Chai Chuanchuang raised his voice and announced again.
Guo Shouque was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "It seems that you can't wait anymore? Very good, very good. I'm also very curious. What kind of dish can an opponent who goes all out and even surpasses his previous level produce … Can we start now? "
He grinned and sat at the side of the table, full of expectation.
"Huai Shi Ding Shi, Snow Moon Flower. Please enjoy."
Chai Chuanchuang took off his headscarf and personally played the role of a waiter. He brought the appetizer to the table and presented a pair of white chopsticks at the same time.
It was made of ivory!
The ceramic bowl that held the appetizer looked ordinary and crude, but if one looked closely, they could feel the charming curve and the gorgeous color hidden under the plain gray.
Underneath the dishes, there was a gorgeous dark gold color, giving off a heavy feeling of brilliance.
Without a doubt, this was the work of a master.
The side dishes on the plate were even more exquisite and frightening. The deep-fried jade was decorated with cherry blossoms and wrapped in fine fish roe. Together with the fresh fish paste, the aroma of fresh fish assailed their nostrils.
That restrained and dignified luxurious aura spread out. It was just a side dish, but it was enough to make some of the poor audience breathless.
Especially Maki.
The mixed-race girl's saliva was about to drip down. If this was a cartoon, the eyes would have turned into dollar signs.
Originally, Huai Shi should also be in the special attack range … But Fang Shu's food was too delicious, and he didn't like other dishes at all.
He only felt that it was gaudy.
"It's so exquisite that I can't bear to eat it." Guo Shouque picked up the chopsticks and sighed. "Compared to your teacher, your skills have improved. Mr. Chai Chuanchuang, the lintel of Dayin will be glorified by you."
"Don't talk too much, please eat, sir." Chai Chuanchuang said proudly.
"That's it? “
Guo Shouque grabbed the chopsticks and looked down at the side dishes on the plate. He frowned. "Can't you be more nimble and bring it all up?"
Chai Chuanchuang was expressionless. "Sir, this is dining etiquette. Even if you're arrogant, don't go too far!"
"You're so stingy, outrageous."
Guo Shouque shook his head, mocking and contemptuous. "It's because of such idiots that Zen can't be free!"
The old man picked up the luxurious fish cake with his ivory chopsticks, opened his mouth, and easily swallowed the exquisite appetizer. He could feel the fragrance spreading between his lips and teeth, like a rich and noble incense, leading him to the luxurious palace.
But when the taste gradually disappeared between his lips and teeth, all the gorgeous and solemn illusions instantly collapsed and disappeared.
The high-rise buildings turned into nothingness, and the noble and beautiful women fell into the yellow soil.
Time made everything vanish into thin air.
It only made people feel lost.
"Only the bell of the garden abode rang, describing the impermanence of the world, the confusion of the mortal world, and alerting people … The original meaning should be like this, right?" Guo Shouque nodded with satisfaction. "It's worthy of the stone cuisine from Zen. Like the White Bone Temple, it makes people realize that everything is empty and turn to seek liberation and enlightenment. It can be said to be ingenious. "
He picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the 'Eight Inches' that was presented. It was a cuisine composed of sashimi, white silk, sea urchin, tofu, and other exquisite side dishes.
It was still so exquisite, so gorgeous, and surrounded by the aura of wealth.
It was as if a beauty was sitting in his arms, caressing his cheeks, and moaning emotionally.
"It's so good, so good."
Guo Shouque chuckled as he swallowed with large mouthfuls, and he enjoyed the boundless riches, the boundless tenderness, and the boundless satisfaction and splendor he had hope for.
He just shook his head in pity. "Unfortunately, the vision is too small …"
At that moment, Chai Chuanchuang frowned. Just as he was about to say something, the old man raised his eyes and ordered solemnly, "Continue. Let's see if your endless glory can satisfy this old man … Let's see if this old man can transcend from your work."
Thousands of buildings, thousands of people, hundreds of millions of assets, beautiful wives, beautiful maids, and endless luxuries of the world appeared in front of his eyes, and then everything quickly faded away.
Everything became emptiness, and everything withered like dust.
In this continuous eating, everything flowed, but in the end, everything returned to nothingness.
Even the arrogant and ferocious Guo Shouque's expression gradually calmed down. He felt the calmness and Zen from the heart, ushering in an epiphany and liberation.
Immediately, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That's it?"
Chai Chuanchuang's expression froze. Even if he had expected it, he did not expect the scene in front of him …
It was not that his work could not let him understand the emptiness and tranquility of Zen. It was that this old man had long abandoned such results like a pair of worn-out shoes!
No, it was even far beyond his own attainments.
This old bastard did not even put the Arhat's Buddhahood in his eyes!
It was true, the evil was deep!
"If you ask me, this is too troublesome, isn't it?"
Guo Shouque held the miscellaneous food in his hand and tasted the glory flowing on the tip of his tongue. He asked in confusion, "Isn't it very simple to be free? It's much easier than this gaudy set! "
Chai Chuanchuang was stunned, and his expression was stiff. He was about to refute this evil, but he saw the old man's smile gradually become more and more ferocious and violent.
"You want to understand the Dharma, but don't be confused by others. From inside to outside, eat whatever you see. Eat Buddha when you see Buddha, eat ancestors when you see ancestors, eat arhat when you see arhat, eat parents when you see parents, eat relatives when you see relatives! “
He raised the bowl and drank the soup of the miscellaneous food in one gulp. He crushed the lacquer bowl inlaid with gold with one hand and laughed strangely, "Only then can you be free, not bound by things, and free! “
"Do you understand, little brat? If you don't completely devour this obsession, the so-called detachment, the so-called enlightenment, will always be the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the water!"
The old man raised his chopsticks and ordered arrogantly, "Now, bring all your little toys here at once, all of them!"
"…"
Chai Chuanchuang had forgotten what happened next.
As if he had fallen into a daze, he numbly followed the old man's orders and presented all the dishes. In the end, he watched the old man swallow them all.
He did not even burp.
He smiled contemptuously.
He did not even bother to say 'That's all'. He just wiped his mouth casually, raised his head and asked, "Next, it's this old man's turn, right?"
In the silence, Chai Chuanchuang felt fear from the bottom of his heart. It was difficult to understand, but he could not escape.
With the last of his courage, he nodded.
He sat in front of the cooking table.
Even though he knew that he could not win, he still attacked the enemy again.
"Very good, I like people who keep pestering. An enemy who is not affected by fear has the value of going all out. Chai Chuanchuang, you are indeed a qualified Cooking Demon. You are qualified to enjoy this old man's' Junior Prison '!"
Guo Shouque raised his hand, threw the steamer away, and placed the steamed pig head meat in front of Chai Chuanchuang.
"Please enjoy, Chai Chuanchuang. If you really have a plan …"
What was this?
Chai Chuanchuang looked at the thing in front of him in shock.
It was a pig head steamed with water. There was no salt, no pepper, and no seasoning. Except for the meat itself, there was no taste.
There was even a faint smell of blood.
Even so, Chai Chuanchuang still … couldn't help but want to eat it. To be exact, he wanted to have it. He wanted to get it. He wanted to let this overly tempting meat fragrance fall into his stomach.
An incredible thirst.
His eyes were burning red.
The emptiness that had been in meditation for decades disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that your skill is not very good. You broke the golden body just like that?" Guo Shouque chuckled strangely, but he did not urge him. He just stood aside and watched. He quietly watched the show that was about to happen.
In the eyes of others, Chai Chuanchuang seemed to be possessed by a demon. He fell into a daze. His chopsticks were suspended in the air, and he was in a daze.
Soon after, he let out a strange cry and jumped up from his chair.
It was unbelievable.
"It … It's biting me!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in confusion. Everyone saw it clearly. How could a half-steamed pig's head bite someone? But Chai Chuanchuang was not necessarily talking nonsense. He was just making people hallucinate. There were many ways to do that.
After calming down, Chai Chuanchuang once again reached out his chopsticks to the food in front of him.
He made up his mind. Even if the pig head opened its mouth to bite him this time, he would never let it go …
In this way, he fell into a daze again.
Even if he was bitten by the illusory pig head, he did not let go or retreat … He was going to hold this overly glorious and tempting power in his hands!
In the silence, there was a surprised cry.
Chai Chuanchuang, who was in a daze, suddenly trembled. Three of his fingers were missing.
The pig head's closed mouth slightly arched, and one could vaguely see the extra fingers in its mouth …
A chill suddenly came and engulfed everyone.
The dish that was supposed to be eaten by people was eating people at this moment!
"Power can eat people. Isn't this normal? It's the privilege of a feudal lord." Guo Shouque smiled strangely and mockingly reminded him, "Be careful … If the dignified Cooking Demon is eaten by a pig, it would be too ugly, right?"
Chai Chuanchuang could no longer hear him.
He was climbing.
Intoxicated by the fragrance that no one could resist, he was climbing toward the throne in the void!
He finally saw …
The power to rule the world!
