Chapter 94 Poisoning in the Dead of Night
Chapter 94 Poisoning in the Dead of Night
Wu Heyi casually tossed his apron aside, waved his hand, and led the group of chefs behind him to place their carefully prepared dishes on the table one after another in an orderly manner, as if displaying precious treasures.
The dishes are dazzling and diverse, each with a unique shape and color combination that is sure to catch the eye.
Whether it's ingredients that fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water, they are all transformed into amazing and delicious dishes through the skillful cooking of chefs.
Just a glance from afar, the irresistible aroma is like an invisible magic, instantly captivating people's olfactory nerves.
Upon closer inspection, the aroma is layered and interwoven, making it incredibly enticing.
The dishes were even more vibrant and eye-catching, with colors as red as fire, as green as jade, and as yellow as gold... as if they were not just food, but exquisitely crafted works of art.
Wu Heyi nimbly sat down in the main seat, smiling and signaling to everyone that they could begin to enjoy the food.
However, faced with such a lavish feast, no one dared to be the first to make a move.
However, judging from the way they were staring intently at the dining table, drooling, Wu Heyi knew perfectly well what each of them was thinking at that moment.
It turned out that these people had been hungry all night, and their stomachs had been growling non-stop.
At this moment, although they were looking forward to a delicious meal, out of politeness and respect for Wu Heyi, none of them dared to be the first to reach for their chopsticks.
Seeing this, Wu Heyi smiled slightly and decided to set an example to break the awkward silence.
He first served himself a full bowl of steaming Yangzhou fried rice. Each grain of rice was crystal clear and fried until it was distinct, emitting an enticing aroma.
Next, he scooped up a bowl of milky white clam soup. The soup was thick and delicious, making one want to take a bite just by looking at it.
Just as Wu Heyi picked up his chopsticks to enjoy the meal, the others could no longer contain their desire.
Lin Bei, in particular, quickly picked up a piece of golden-brown, crispy fried chicken.
This fried chicken looks incredibly tempting; its golden color is as dazzling as sunlight, seemingly proclaiming its deliciousness and crispiness.
It's important to know that in any world, gold is usually a prestigious color that only nobles can use. Now that it's on this dish, it adds even more of a sense of nobility.
Around the plate of fried chicken that exuded an enticing aroma, four distinct seasonings were neatly arranged.
They are bright red, mouthwatering chili powder;
Golden-colored, richly creamy cheese mustard sauce;
Sweet and sour, bright red tomato sauce and smooth, pale yellow mayonnaise!
These four seasonings are like four dancers, each with their own unique style, waiting to perform a culinary feast together with the main character—delicious fried chicken.
Lin Beize was a very unconventional person. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed a piece of original fried chicken and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
In an instant, the crispy skin of the fried chicken and the tender, juicy meat inside blended together, bringing an unprecedented impact to the taste buds.
The delicate juice bursts forth in your mouth like a mountain spring, nourishing every taste bud.
The firm yet springy chicken meat is so substantial that it's astonishing, like a lively little chick frolicking between your teeth and cheeks.
Lin Bei wolfed down the fried chicken, finishing it off in no time.
Still wanting more, he quickly picked up another piece and skillfully sprinkled it with a thick layer of chili powder. The moment this chili-coated fried chicken was put into his mouth again, a strong, stimulating sensation exploded in his mouth like a blazing fire.
That fiery sensation was like a powerful fire-type soul skill, sweeping over him with overwhelming force, making every cell in his body tremble with excitement.
However, despite the intense spiciness, Lin Bei showed no sign of backing down. On the contrary, he found it increasingly enjoyable and couldn't stop eating.
Next, Lin Bei continued to boldly explore the wonderful flavors brought by the other three sauces.
When he dipped it in ketchup and tasted it, the perfectly balanced sweet and sour flavor instantly blossomed on his tongue, like a sweet candy melting in his mouth, leaving him completely intoxicated;
When paired with cheese mustard sauce, the rich milky aroma and slight spiciness blend perfectly, creating a unique and mellow taste, like a mysterious magic spell that leaves a lasting impression.
Finally, it's time for mayonnaise to make its appearance. Its smooth and delicate texture, along with its subtle salty aroma, adds a richer and more diverse flavor profile, making it feel like a brand new adventure, full of surprises and anticipation.
In this way, Lin Bei tried each sauce one by one, and each flavor brought him a completely different but equally amazing experience.
These rich flavors were like magical soul techniques, constantly assaulting his taste buds and making him unable to extricate himself from them.
That's why Lin Bei decisively listed fried chicken as one of his favorite foods in this life!
Dugu Yan is an expert in poisons, and her ability to identify poisons is exceptional.
Sure enough, with just a glance at the table, she could accurately determine that none of the dishes on it were poisonous, and that they were all delicious and visually appealing.
However, even a woman as knowledgeable and decisive as Dugu Yan still retains a gentleness and caution unique to girls when it comes to food.
Therefore, she carefully selected some dishes that looked milder.
One dish in particular caught her attention—it was a plate of tofu.
This plate of tofu is quite unusual; it contains both small black and white cubes, all of which are quietly soaking in a pool of slightly viscous red liquid.
Dugu Yan gently picked up a few pieces with her chopsticks and put them in her mouth.
As she gently bit into the white tofu, a rich aroma of soybeans instantly filled her mouth.
Next, savor the black tofu, your mouth filled with the unique, rich flavor of black beans.
What's even more amazing is that both colors of tofu are served chilled, giving a refreshing feeling. However, when they are combined and chewed with the thick red liquid, something magical happens:
The original icy sensation was instantly replaced by a fiery, spicy, and savory flavor, like molten lava!
In that instant, Dugu Yan felt as if she were in the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, experiencing both icy cold and scorching heat. The stimulation and pleasure brought by such a strong contrast could probably only be truly understood by herself.
