Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

On the east side of the paradise, an area that is even larger than Tongtian Square is always crowded and bustling.

Before entering the realm, a cloud of white smoke visible to the naked eye could be seen from a distance, which was formed by the concentration of extremely rich smoke from fireworks.

Different from the fresh and elegant fragrance of tea in the small shop in midsummer, the alluring fragrance lingering in the food court is always mouth-watering and mouth-watering.

I can't tell what the specific taste is, but the seven flavors of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, fragrant, fresh, and bitter are all present. The interweaving and fusion create thousands of flavors.

Xu Yue followed this attractive fragrance and came to the main entrance of the food court.

In front of the gate, there is a huge statue of a strange beast.

Its body is as big as an ox, with a strong body, fur and horns, and sharp claws and teeth.

Its back feet are on the ground, its buttocks and tail are raised high, its front paws are lowered, and its front is stretched out. You can vaguely see the eyes growing under its armpits, and it is looking at the passers-by like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Looking up, the statue's face is like a human face, but ferocious and ferocious, with slender eyes, eyes like red carbon, and towering horns spiraling upward on the top of its head.

The tiger's mouth is wide open under it, with teeth like sharp swords, jagged and intertwined. The lips are salivating, and the mouth is full of black holes that want to choose people to devour.

True to the style of a paradise, after Xu Yue admired the lifelike statue of the strange beast, he walked around the statue and strode into the fragrant and bustling food court.

It is said to be a square, but in fact it is more like a huge fortress.

When viewed from above, the entire food court looks like three overlapping rings, arranged from small to large, with a crosswalk running through the southeast, northwest and northwest.

In the middle is a huge square, which is the real food court, but that square is only open every time the God of Cookery Competition is held. At that time, the boiling fragrance of fireworks can even permeate the entire paradise city.

Outside the square is a three-ring food street surrounded by three-story buildings.

The Outer Ring Food Street is the most lively and lively area, with a stream of people, a forest of shops, stalls, and carts, all kinds of snacks, and delicacies. Especially at night, it is even more grand.

Central is much more elegant, with numerous restaurants and clean streets. You can find famous specialties and exotic foods from all the gourmet worlds here.

As for the innermost level, there are only ten shops there that are ranked among the top ten in the annual God of Cookery Competition.

The basic requirement for participating in the God of Cookery Competition is that on the premise that the food is delicious, it must also have extraordinary effects, either attribute improvement, status blessing, or treatment recovery, otherwise you will not even be qualified to enter.

Most of the recovery food circulating in the Exchange Square comes from various restaurants in Central, except for a small portion obtained from the derived world.

And it was this outer ring food street that Xu Yue stepped into. As soon as he entered, the aroma of steaming food hit his face, salty, spicy, sweet, sour...

Xu Yue seemed to be able to taste various flavors from the fragrance, which caused the fluid in his mouth to secrete continuously. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. Xu Yue swallowed and glanced around.

Everything he could see was crowded with shops and stalls of all kinds, and for a moment he didn't know how to make a choice.

I simply bought a bunch of snacks on the roadside and ate them while shopping.

The charcoal-grilled lamb is charred and fragrant. The red spicy powder is dotted with small white sesame seeds. It is wrapped in the roasted and crispy meat. It shines under the light and is stuffed into your mouth. First, the charcoal-fried lamb is delicious, and then... The spicy noodles mixed with the gravy roll over the tip of the tongue, and the meat is chewy and chewy, making it both fat and thin.

The crystal shrimp dumplings are exquisite and small, and they are elastic when twisted. The tender shrimps are wrapped in the flexible dumpling skin. After one bite, they are sweet and crispy, and the soup is delicious.

The large skewers of meat sausages are oily and moist, and the thin casings firmly lock in the fragrant but not tangy, oily but not greasy gravy. When you tear open the casings with your teeth, the smooth and hot oil will instantly melt in your mouth. It exploded, and my mouth was full of saliva.

The black stinky tofu is tossed and stirred in the red sauce, and the green scallions and white minced garlic are mixed together to harmonize with each other. Take a light bite. The tofu is crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. Press it lightly and you will feel full. The tofu in the sauce releases layers of rich flavor on the taste buds.

The plump squid is choked into the hot oil, and the rising flames grill the outside of the squid skewers to a slightly browned color. The strong fragrance lingers. The squid meat sprinkled with spicy powder enters the mouth. The hot and churning touch first comes from the tip of the tongue, and continues to chew. It’s the unique smoothness and tenderness of seafood, the crispiness on the outside, the smoothness and tenderness on the inside, and the spicy, salty dipping sauce that stirs in the mouth.

Take another sip of the cold lemonade, squeeze the transparent ice cubes and bright yellow lemon slices scattered in the cup through the straw, roll up a big mouthful of cold water and pour into your mouth, filling you with the sweet and sour taste in an instant Filling the entire mouth, the hint of spiciness clinging to the tip of the tongue and the remaining greasiness in the throat were immediately washed away.

…

Time slowly passed by as Xu Yue was eating so much that Xu Yue couldn't remember how many snacks he ate or how many shops he visited.

This snack street seems to stretch endlessly, and there seems to be an endless supply of various delicacies.

Xu Yue didn't stop until he saw a Sichuan restaurant with a red sign on the roadside.

I touched my belly and found that it was only half full. Now that the appetizers and snacks were finished, it was time to serve the main meal.

When he pushed the door open, the unique aroma of spicy and delicious food hit his face and penetrated into his nose. Xu Yue's stomach, where he had just loaded a lot of food, was filled with bursts of acid.

Xu Yue was reminded that he was still hungry.

"Guest, what do you want?"

A charming woman wearing a red cheongsam came forward. Although she was not tall, her figure made the gorgeous cheongsam look particularly elegant.

After ordering, under the guidance of the woman, Xu Yue came to a vacant mahogany seat and waited quietly.

Everything in this store seems to be red, red seats, red ornaments, red dishes, and the red cheongsam.

Although the store was bustling with people and excitement, Xu Yue still didn't have to wait long before the dishes were served one by one.

The first is the boiled meat slices in a large porcelain bowl. Thin slices of meat are piled in the red and spicy soup. The dense peppers almost fill all the gaps on the soup surface. The spicy smell of the hot oil is long-lasting. Long-lasting, rich aroma, tender meat slices, and all four flavors of Sichuan cuisine: numbing, spicy, fresh, and hot.

The second dish is brown and shiny spicy chicken. Chicken breast cut into small pieces and dried chili peppers blend together in the iron pot and complement each other. During the stir-frying over a strong fire, the spicy and burnt dry chili peppers and the salty diced chicken meat are combined. The fresh and mellow flavor perfectly matches.

The third course is the Dongpo pork elbow which is plump but not greasy, soft and chewy...

Time passed quietly as Xu Yue feasted. He was now like a glutton, plundering crazily in the food street to fill his hungry and thirsty stomach.

By the time he finally walked out of the food court with a full stomach, two hours had passed.

"wrong!"

Walking out of the long street, Xu Yue, who was stroking his belly and walking forward, suddenly stood still. The expression of satisfaction on his face because of his full stomach quickly disappeared and became uncertain.

He raised his head and looked up. The Taotie statue above his head stretched out its claws and lowered its head. Its eyes were blood red. Xu Yue seemed to see the ultimate greed in it that could not be filled by swallowing the sky and the earth.

"Is there something wrong with this thing?"

Xu Yue glanced around, and saw a flood of people pouring from the foot of the Taotie statue into the gate of the food street, but his face was still talking and laughing calmly.

There was also a constant flow of people coming out of the gate, and there was nothing unusual about it either.

Xu Yue stared into Taotie's blood-red eyes with cold eyes.

"Is it just for newcomers, or is there something wrong with me?"

"I seem to have forgotten something?"

Xu Yue patted his head, feeling a faint pain, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Since when did my head stop hurting?"

Write about being hungry...
