Nine appetizers?
When Jing Yuan shouted those words, the entire audience was stunned.
In the past, the Imperial Feast would start with dishes being served one by one according to the menu. There was no such thing as an appetizer.
More importantly, what was the so-called appetizer?
Many people thought about it, and they understood.
This appetizer should be the main chef of the Imperial Feast. He wanted to stimulate their appetites, so that they could focus their attention on the dish.
However, this led to an uncertain factor, and that was, the appetizer had to be able to stimulate everyone's appetite.
Otherwise, it would backfire, which would make people unhappy.
The maids stretched out their delicate hands, their other hands holding onto their sleeves. Under Jing Yuan's order, they lifted the lid.
Beams of light shot out from within, attracting everyone's attention.
"The first appetizer, Spirit Pickled Radish."
The maid unveiled the first dish.
The sound of a harp echoed.
Everyone's gazes landed on it.
Even the cold and arrogant High Priestess and the noble female King Biluo couldn't help but look at the first dish.
As the first dish, it had to be stunning.
And what would Bu Fang choose as an appetizer? Everyone was curious.
In the distance …
Hades Erha held a Spicy Strip in his mouth. He craned his head, his eyes curious.
You was the same. She also wanted to know what Bu Fang would choose as his first appetizer.
However, as soon as the lid was lifted, a unique aroma spread out.
Spirit Pickled Radish?
Everyone was bewildered. Then, a wave of aroma spread out, surging over them.
Huh?
Everyone's face changed.
They took a deep breath.
With just a sniff, the sour smell drilled into their nostrils, stirring their taste buds and causing their mouths to involuntarily secrete saliva.
"A plate of radish?"
"Is it really just a plate of radish? A white radish?"
"That's a dish? Are you kidding me? "
…
On the spirit gold dining table, everyone had a stupefied expression. They never imagined that the first dish would actually be a plate of white radish.
Jing Yuan took in everyone's expressions.
Seeing that everyone was so surprised … she felt relieved.
As for doubts about this dish …
A playful smile appeared on Jing Yuan's face.
The concept of an appetizer was added by Head Chef Bu. Back then, she had also doubted it. Since it was the Imperial Feast, it was only natural that the 18 main dishes of the Imperial Feast would be served first.
However, Head Chef Bu actually proposed such a concept.
Most importantly, the first dish was actually a plate of radishes …
This made Jing Yuan even more doubtful.
However, under Bu Fang's playful expression, she ate a piece of carrot …
Then … she gave in.
"This is Spirit Sour Radish, an appetizer from Head Chef Bu's collection. The quantity is limited, so eat it and cherish it."
Jing Yuan didn't explain too much and left a lot of suspense.
Everyone at the spirit gold dining table looked at each other.
Who cared if it was Spirit Sour Radish or Spirit Spicy Radish, wasn't it still a radish?
Such a grand Imperial Feast, and the first dish was a plate of radish … Was this right?
The female King Biluo didn't say anything.
Actually, contrary to the doubts of others, she had an estimate of Bu Fang's cooking. Since he dared to take out a plate of radish as the first dish, naturally, he had his reasons.
Thus, the female King Biluo grabbed a pair of chopsticks. Those were silver chopsticks, different from other chopsticks. The tip of the Queen's chopsticks was carved with an exquisite phoenix sculpture.
She picked up a piece of radish.
The radish was crystal clear.
There was also a transparent juice flowing on it. The radish was cut into shreds by Bu Fang, and each shred was the same size.
A unique sour smell permeated the radish. This sour smell didn't make people burp, but left a deep impression.
Picking up the radish, under everyone's gazes, the Queen opened her fiery red lips, revealing her pearly white teeth as she took a bite of the radish.
The sweet and sour taste instantly spread in her mouth. That taste wasn't very strong, but it instantly stimulated the taste buds, causing the Queen's brows to involuntarily furrow …
This taste …
Crunch, crunch …
After the Queen furrowed her brows, her eyes suddenly lit up.
This sweet and sour taste was unexpectedly good.
Stuffing the whole radish into her mouth, she chewed. Then, she reached out with her chopsticks to pick up the second one.
"Delicious!"
The Queen exclaimed.
It was just a radish … How delicious could it be?
Everyone was suspicious.
However, after everyone picked up a radish and put it into their mouth, they became silent …
That taste stimulated their taste buds, and even the tip of their noses couldn't help but have some sweat trickle down.
It was so sour that their whole bodies trembled …
So f * cking delicious!
Jing Yuan lightly laughed, then continued, "The second appetizer, Sour and Spicy Diced Lotus Root."
Everyone's gaze turned, landing on the second appetizer that had just been opened.
Another round of rotation, and the chopsticks were extended.
"The third appetizer, Crystal Phoenix Claw.
The fourth appetizer, Abyssal Chili Strip. "
…
Jing Yuan announced the names of the dishes one by one.
The fifteen people on the table ate every dish, and they simply couldn't stop eating.
Not only was the appetizer radish so delicious, but the other dishes that followed also made them exclaim in admiration.
Whether it was the Crystal Phoenix Claw or the Abyssal Chili Strip, they were like cat claws, scratching their hearts, making them unable to free themselves.
Abyssal Chili Strip?
Hades Erha held the Chili Strip in his mouth, his face filled with confusion and disbelief!
Bu Fang, that young man, actually used his favorite Chili Strip as an appetizer?
There was such a thing?
The female King Biluo was also very surprised. She glanced at Hades Erha, who was in the distance, and saw the Chili Strip in his mouth, and her heart was filled with curiosity.
This thing … could really be eaten.
The Chili Strip was cut into small pieces by Bu Fang, and it was placed on the plate, emitting a dazzling radiance.
The Chili Strip could be said to be the most fragrant among the appetizers, and they couldn't help but want to reach out their chopsticks.
The female King Biluo picked up a Chili Strip. Her red lips pouted, and she stuffed the Chili Strip into her mouth, sucking it.
Her tongue wrapped around the Chili Strip.
The spicy taste of the Chili Strip instantly spread out.
"Huh?!"
The Empress' eyes widened!
This spicy taste! This texture! This taste seemed to penetrate deep into the bone!
This was the Chili Strip!
It was really … too delicious!
The Empress raised her head, chewing the Chili Strip in her mouth. Her red lips became even redder, and a trace of red appeared on her face.
Her beautiful face showed a hint of intoxication.
The Empress' appearance scared the people around her, and the High Priestess was even more puzzled.
It was just a Chili Strip … Why did she look like she had taken drugs?
Then, the others began to eat.
Then, all fifteen people at the table raised their heads, revealing an intoxicated expression …
In the distance …
Hades Erha hugged the spirit gold pillar, as if there was nothing left to live for. His head constantly knocked on the pillar, making banging noises.
"I's Chili Strip …"
"This group of barbaric women, how can they eat Chili Strips like this? How can the steps of eating Chili Strips be like this … "
"One suck, two suck, three suck, four suck … Suck, suck, suck, suck … In and out, this is the correct way to eat Chili Strips!"
Hades Erha's heart was dripping blood, and tears were flowing.
The corner of You's mouth twitched.
Bu Fang's Chili Strips were indeed very attractive.
Back then … She had also been crazy for a while, but one time, she ate too much. She was afraid of seeing Chili Strips, and from then on, she stopped eating Chili Strips.
However, she still had to admit that Bu Fang's Chili Strips were definitely filled with a fatal attraction …
The nine appetizers were all uncovered.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the surrounding people …
The fifteen people at the spirit gold dining table finished all the appetizers.
The maids all sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was the first time they saw adults eat so much!
However, on the contrary, after finishing all nine appetizers, they did not feel full at all. Instead, their stomachs were rumbling, and they could not wait to continue eating.
Even the cold and arrogant High Priestess, at this moment, was full of interest for the next dish.
The corner of Chef Jing Yuan's mouth rose. Head Chef Bu's appetizers … were effective!
Cheering in her heart, Jing Yuan turned and entered the kitchen.
After a while, she personally carried a dish, walking over from afar.
"The first dish of the Imperial Feast: Jadeite Taro Spirit Fruit."
Jing Yuan's pleasant voice carried a trace of excitement, resounding throughout the entire hall.
She took small steps, arriving in front of the spirit gold table, placing the blue and white porcelain plate on the table.
The plates of appetizers on the table that had been eaten had already been removed by the maids.
And on both sides of the independent seats, the appetizers began to be served.
The order of dishes on both sides was staggered.
"Jadeite Taro Spirit Fruit?"
This dish stunned everyone. This time, it should be the official dish of the Imperial Feast, right?
Although the appetizer was not bad, it was still the eighteen dishes that tested the head chef.
And the first dish that Chef Jing Yuan read out was something that they had no impression of in the previous Imperial Feast.
Chef Jing Yuan did not point it out.
She grabbed the silver cover, suddenly opening it.
Instantly, hot air surged up.
A wave of dazzling golden light instantly shot out, filling everyone's eyes.
When everyone saw the appearance of the dish clearly, they were in an uproar.
That was because they were stunned!
Even the female King Biluo's red lips were slightly parted, feeling a little incredulous.
This was a dish that was full of three-dimensional feeling.
The dish was steaming hot, and golden sugar threads were drawn in the air, forming a phoenix that seemed to be about to spread its wings and soar into the sky.
In that phoenix's abdomen, there were pink spirit fruits floating inside.
Under the light, this dish radiated a dazzling radiance.
Seeing this dish, many people came to a sudden realization.
They had eaten this dish before, but at that time, it didn't look like this.
The sugar threads were round, wrapping the Taro Spirit Fruit inside.
It didn't give people a feeling of being stunned.
The female King Biluo couldn't wait anymore. Women were born to love beauty. Such a beautiful dish made them inexplicably happy and excited.
She reached out her silver chopsticks. Instantly, the floating Taro Spirit Fruit was caught by the Queen. Then, she pulled it out.
As soon as she pulled it out, it instantly caused an uproar.
Everyone took in a breath of cold air.
Because as the Queen pulled it out, the Taro Spirit Fruit actually had silk threads following it. It was as if she was pulling out fine silk threads.
And as she pulled it out, the Phoenix wings drawn by the sugar threads flapped, as if it was about to dance!
Stunning! It was completely breathtaking!
The female King Biluo's heart was filled with joy.
A dish actually gave her such joy. It was really rare.
Putting the dish into the bowl, the Queen gently licked the Taro Spirit Fruit. The Taro Spirit Fruit wrapped in the sugar was incomparably sweet. It was as if there was an arrow shooting into the Queen's heart.
It made her face involuntarily blush. She softly let out a sigh.
Her pearly white teeth opened, then bit down.
Within the soft and tender texture, there was a kind of Taro Spirit Fruit's soft and tender texture. The sweet, fragrant, and tender taste blended into one, bursting out at the same time!
The Queen chewed, sticking out her tongue to lick her red lips. Her joy was overflowing.
The others had already seen it.
This dish could actually have so many tricks?!
Chef Jing Yuan was also stunned.
She didn't think that after Head Chef Bu's modification, the dish would be so earth-shattering …
It made her salivate, wanting to take a bite.
The High Priestess looked at the Queen. Without saying a word, she spun the spirit gold wheel. She reached out her chopsticks, picking up a piece of Taro Spirit Fruit. Her pearly white teeth gently opened, biting down.
Even someone as cold and arrogant as the High Priestess couldn't help but let out a light hum …
After that, the remaining thirteen people at the table almost went crazy.
The eyes of Chi Si and the others flashed.
Many people in the surroundings were dumbfounded.
This Imperial Feast … seemed to be very different from the previous years!
It made people full of anticipation.
However, only Jing Yuan's face showed a hint of worry in her joy.
She glanced at the High Priestess, who was happily eating.
Thinking about the sacrificial dish that Head Chef Bu had modified … her heart suddenly felt a little anxious.
