Chapter 698 [Special] Devil City Food Festival (Part 2)(1/2)
The residents of Devil City have to spend three days on each festival, but this should be the most lively "food festival" in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, and everyone actually chose to hide.
"Well..." Mr. Bao touched his beard, "It seems that there is a fraud..."
Master Pang nodded while patting his belly, "I don't know what to say..."
The Eighth Prince came to Devil City for the first time. Everything was quite fresh. When he saw a few handfuls of cowpeas on the table next to him, he picked them up and asked, "What is this?"
Unfortunately, the Eight Kings asked Bai Yutang.
The fifth master glanced at it and said, "Some kind of grass... right?"
"Such thick grass?" The Eighth Prince pulled out one and studied it carefully, and asked Bai Yutang, "How to eat this?"
Bai Yutang asked himself that he had never eaten such a long grass and had never seen it on the dining table, so he guessed, "Is it for feeding horses?"
Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them speechlessly. Xiao Sizi couldn't stand it anymore. She sat on Xiao Wu's back, pulled the Eighth Prince's hem, and said, "Baibai, Xiao Bazi, this is a cowpea, not a grass."
The Eighth Prince was shocked, "Aren't the beans all round?"
Bai Yutang also nodded, expressing suspicion.
The little fourth son turned his face to see Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao made a face to him - these two people who have no common sense.
On the side, Long Qiaoguang hit Ouyang Shaozheng with his elbow, "Look!"
Ouyang Shaozheng looked at the place he signaled and saw three radishes placed side by side. The radishes all looked a bit like humans and were chubby.
Ouyang picked up a fat radish that was twisted like a twist and said, "This one looks good."
Long Qiaoguang reached out and picked up another round radish that looked like a fat candle, "It's obviously good-looking!"
Then, the right general explained in detail 20,000 words how beautiful the radish in his hand was. Huo Qilin shook the radish in his hand and said, "I like this one torment you!"
...
Ignoring the two generals who were quarreling for the carrots, Zhan Zhao and others had already walked forward.
Each person pokes two tickets in his hand, one votes are the most beautiful and the other votes are the ugliest, and the others are stamped.
But in addition to the appearance, you also need to consider the taste.
Zhan Zhao was embarrassed when he looked at the three green cabbages. Each one looked quite beautiful. How could he tell which one was better?
At this time, the Eighth Prince and Bai Yutang were also evaluating the three cabbages.
Zhan Showa Xiaosizi stepped forward and listened.
I only heard the Eighth Prince say, "Well... this tree looks a bit more moist."
Bai Yutang nodded, "Well, there are fewer light-transmitting impurities."
"It's just that the carving is not very good." said Ba Wang, "It's better if the pattern is wider."
Bai Yutang agreed, "The jadeite is not too transparent, not like the old pit type..."
"Well, it's really not top-notch." The Eight King shook his head, "It's a pity that Mo Yu would probably look better."
Zhan Zhao looked speechlessly at the two young masters who used cabbage as jade, shook their heads and pulled the little fourth son who was also disgusted with his face, and went to see a handful of leeks in front of him.
Bai Yutang saw the leeks frowning and detouring, and the Eighth Prince covered his nose, "Is there any herbs? It smells so smelly!"
The little Sizi sighed, picked up a handful of leeks and shook them at Zhan Zhao, "Cat..."
But strangely, Zhan Zhao flashed and ran to the front to see a few eggplants.
The little Sizi tilted his head, huh?
Zhan Zhao's actions also attracted Bai Yutang's attention.
Although Bai Yutang had no common sense, he knew leeks. He poked the little girl and asked, "Does cats not like leeks?"
Xiao Sizi blinked, "Is it? Hualili loves to eat raw leeks and onions the most."
Bai Yutang frowned, "Does cat like leeks?"
"He eats fried eggs with leeks very happily. Cats also like to eat fried leek sprouts with leeks." Xiao Sizi suddenly asked Bai Yutang, "Baibai, does cats have anything they don't like to eat?"
"He is very picky, but he insists on saying something he doesn't like to eat..." Bai Yutang remembered a famous saying that Zhan Zhao said in a month in a certain year, "There is no bad food in this world, only a chef who can't cook."
Xiao Sizi and Bai Yutang looked at each other for a while, and suddenly they wanted to figure out - as a foodie, Zhan Zhao, does he have any food he particularly dislikes?
...
In the distance, the Tianzun, who was turning two walnuts, asked Yin Hou who was poking a thorny chestnut, "Do you have anything you don't like to eat?"
The Yin Hou didn't care about authenticity, "Yes."
"What is it?" Tianzun was curious.
Yin Hou replied casually, "Isn't he that little cat sex? He doesn't like what cats don't like."
"Is it?" Tianzun suspected, "Cats don't like spicy food, so don't be too happy to eat spicy food."
Yin Hou said, "If you ask the cat to come and eat spicy pot, it may be happy to eat it. If you eat chili peppers, it won't be dry. Don't look at his scallion and tofu, he will still be able to sleep after stuffing a handful of scallions under his pillow."
The Heavenly Lord frowned and looked at Yin Hou, "How do you know?"
"Ahem." Yin Hou touched his nose and muttered, "Of course I did this..." After that, he turned around and left.
Tianzun opened his mouth wide and chased after him, "You old ghost is more perverted than me. I have never tried to do anything to my Yutang like this."
Yin Houbai, "Speak nonsense, I'll put a handful of onions under the pillow for your apprentice, and he might burn the house...I just want to do an experiment."
"What kind of experiment?" Tianzun was curious.
Yin Hou whispered, "Look at if he wants to eat shallots and tofu the next day after stuffing a handful of onions the night before."
"Did he eat the next day?" Tianzun was curious.
Yin Hou smiled and nodded, "Eat it! It turns out to work!"
"Ah snee..." Zhan Zhao suddenly sneezes in front of him.
Tianzun started to think with his hands behind his back. Obviously, he didn't listen to what Yin Hou said later. He just thought about what would happen if he had a handful of onions under Baiyutang's pillow... It was so interesting!
...
Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi followed Zhan Zhao all the way, paying attention to what food he didn't like... I found that Zhan Zhao touched the nose when he encountered onions, leeks, garlic, and then walked two steps faster, but he couldn't tell that he hated it... Do you really like to make dishes?
After walking down a circle, everyone finished the chapter and selected the most beautiful "food" - a black and white piglet.
The pig was round and had long eyelashes. The little fourth son hugged him and said he wanted to take him back to Kaifeng Mansion to raise him.
Everyone really wanted to remind him that you would not be able to hold him in half a year, but the little fourth son refused to let go and there was no way. Zhan Zhao thought about otherwise keeping him in the stable?
The most beautiful thing is the easiest thing, but it is difficult to judge the ugliest thing! What's more, there is also a legend that the Devil City may be "cursed" by the selected food.
In the end, the most "ugly" fell on two things - one was a fish that everyone had never seen before. The fish was soft and had a very big nose and had no eyes. People in the Devil City called it a sand skull. The other was a mushroom. There was a pattern on the "umbrella cover" at the top, like a cracked mouth, hence the name "rift mushroom".
These two things are so ugly that Zhan Zhao and the Central Plains have never seen them before, but they are said to be common dishes on the dining table in the Devil City.
Zhan Zhao felt that he would eat it before making a decision, but this proposal was opposed by Bai Yutang. The fifth master said that he would be ugly anyway and choose one of them.
On the city tower, residents of the Devil City reminded, "There is a custom that after the selection, you can use the ugliest ingredients to make the main course..."
Everyone gasped—didn't you say it earlier?!
Bai Yutang said he wanted to make careful choices, pointing to the cabbage he had reviewed with the Eight Kings and said, "Just let it be, it's the ugliest!"
Zhan Zhao grabbed his own mouse and pulled it aside, "Mouse, don't forget to be cursed!"
Bai Yutang visits Zhan Zhao,
Zhan Zhao reminded, "That skeleton fish and mushrooms are the ones we can't meet when we return to the Central Plains! Cabbage is different! Do you want to be cursed by cabbage in your life?"
Although Bai Yutang felt that what Zhan Zhao said made sense, it would be better to be cursed by cabbage than eating such ugly things. Besides... So what if you are cursed by cabbage? At worst, you won’t eat cabbage in the future!
Zhan Zhao didn't let him choose - I'll eat it if you don't eat it! The cabbage is served with many dishes!
In the end, everyone chose "rift mushrooms" based on their "conscience". After all, the sand skeleton grows too terrible, and if they are cursed, it will be a problem. Compared to mushrooms, they are better.
After the selection, Zhan Zhao and others felt that the atmosphere was not right...
I vaguely heard the residents of the Devil City squatting in the building whispering.
"I chose the crack mushroom!"
"Will the legend come true?"
"Will you be attacked by the mushroom spirit at night?"
...
At this time, a cloud floated from the sky from somewhere, covering the sun above the Devil City, feeling a little "breath of wind".
Everyone went to take a look at the "grinning" mushroom again, with an ominous premonition.
...
In the evening, everyone came back and for dinner, they ate a specialty of Devil City stuffed cake.
Lin Yehuo came back with a wolf hair in his arms, took a shower and changed his clothes, and asked while adhering to the pie, "How is it? What have you chosen in a few days?"
To be continued...
