Chapter 6805 Raw Food Feast: Stone Insects
The Chamber of Commerce asked everyone to cooperate with the investigation, but did not behave rudely; instead, they treated them with a very high standard.

A high-end raw food feast was set on the table as the staff busied themselves, filled with all sorts of fresh and live items.

The ingredients come from all over the astral plane and have considerable economic and medicinal value; they are rare and precious even in their local areas.

When it is transported from afar to a certain place in its freshest condition, its price has become so high that ordinary people cannot afford it.

Even so, this type of product has never lacked a market, with countless wealthy people vying to taste it.

The best thing about the Star Realm is that there is no economic crisis here, and people don't have to worry about their money being devalued.

The vast world has a huge market, giving businessmen plenty of opportunities to make money.

Countless ordinary people at the bottom of society will definitely have a better life if they work hard and live their lives earnestly.

However, it is precisely because of this that the extravagance of life at the top of society far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

With one star coin enough to buy a chicken, some wealthy people spend tens of thousands of star coins on a single meal, eventually consuming the equivalent of a chicken farm.

What appears to be extravagant consumption is actually a common occurrence in daily life, and is even taken for granted by many wealthy and aristocratic individuals.

Raw food banquets are high-end consumption, and not every customer who frequents Qibao Pavilion has the opportunity to taste them.

Under normal circumstances, to enjoy this kind of banquet, you must make a reservation well in advance.

Once all the ingredients have arrived, the restaurant will send out a notification so that guests can prepare in advance.

Such high-end banquets certainly cannot be as casual as roadside stalls; they must have a certain sense of ceremony.

But at this moment, in order to compensate everyone, the Chamber of Commerce actually provided a free raw food feast.

At that moment, everyone felt flattered, and their dissatisfaction vanished.

They only sacrificed some time, but the Chamber of Commerce offered them a hundredfold compensation, which made them feel respected.

For a behemoth like the Qibaoge to have a use for them is actually an honor, not a troublesome matter.

If this hadn't happened, it would have been quite difficult for them to get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce.

This unexpected turn of events has given everyone a chance to get to know each other, and perhaps they can indeed seize the opportunity to gain some benefits.

Realizing this, they felt even more grateful to Tang Zhen. If it weren't for him causing this incident, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to communicate today.

Someone inadvertently spotted the rich second-generation heir, who was behaving with a humble and submissive demeanor.

The arrogance of the past is long gone, and now they try their best to be low-key and obedient.

Choices made in the heat of the moment often lead to regret, and once the damage is done, there's no going back; you can't undo the mistake.

The rich kid was lucky; in this incident, he had no chance to cause trouble.

He was despised and ignored, like a clown.

Given the nature of a rich kid, he should have been furious long ago after experiencing such things repeatedly.

He did everything in his power to prove himself, to make everyone realize his importance, and that he absolutely could not tolerate such humiliating and ignored behavior.

This time, however, the rich kid has become smarter.

The events that kept happening deeply shocked him, making him realize how insignificant and powerless he was.

And he realized one thing: neither Tang Zhen nor the business association behind him were people he could afford to offend.

He has lost a large sum of money, which was the family's reserve fund for investment. Such behavior is enough to warrant severe punishment.

If, because of his own actions, he were to provoke powerful enemies for his family, then no one would be able to save him.

The shrewd rich kid, now behaving himself, didn't want to cause any more trouble. Tang Zhen, the central figure in this incident, remained calm, listening to his supervisor's introduction while enjoying various delicious foods.

The price of raw food banquets is not fixed; it mainly depends on the type of ingredients. The more expensive the ingredients and the more variety they are, the higher the price will be.

Knowing Tang Zhen's special status, the supervisor did not skimp on the meal but prepared a mid-range banquet.

There are a total of eighteen kinds, each with its own introduction, and there will be a video presentation before you taste them.

For example, this moment showcases a stone worm that spends its entire life inside a stone sphere.

The stone spheres are formed from the condensation of bodily fluids and will continue to grow larger over time; the stone spheres of adult insects can be as large as a human head.

The way it forages is very simple: it extends slender tentacles from the hole and collects various foods from the surrounding area. The secreted body fluid has a trapping effect, attracting various insects and small animals, which it then captures with its tentacles and melts and sucks them out.

The collectors found the stone sphere, but were unable to break it open; instead, they packed it up and transported it as a whole.

When it's time to eat them, a special environmental temperature must be simulated to induce the stone worms to enter their mating season, at which point they will secrete a special flavor.

This unique flavor captivates diners, and once tasted, it becomes unforgettable.

At this moment, a miniature array plate was placed in front of everyone, which could simulate the appropriate temperature and smell.

Suddenly, many holes appeared on the surface of the gray-black stone sphere, and tentacles stretched out from it.

The tentacles danced incessantly, releasing an indescribable umami scent, signifying that the courtship and mating ritual had begun.

These insects, placed inside the restaurant and hiding in the stones, will never find a mate.

A special device caught the stone ball on the table and then pulled it in forcefully.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the stone ball was sliced ​​open, revealing the insects hiding inside.

The insects living inside the rocks have never seen the sunlight, and their bodies are exceptionally weak and delicate.

Simply shine a light on it, and the insects will be cooked to a medium-rare state. You can then scoop them up with a spoon and put them directly into your mouth to enjoy.

The incredibly fresh flavor is absolutely unforgettable.

The stone worm also has another effect: it enhances male physiological function, and there is a certain chance that it will grow and develop again.

However, the effects of this method often vary from person to person; some experience very obvious results, even to an exaggerated degree, while others see minimal effects.

Even so, the stone worm gained great fame and became a must-have dish in raw food banquets.

Many tasters also requested that it be served as the first dish, not only to satisfy their expectations but also to avoid any suspicion of whetting their appetites.

In the banquet ceremonies of the astral realm, the first course holds a mediocre position, and placing the Stone Worm in this position is often influenced by a strange psychological sentiment.

You may cherish an item in your heart, but you can't show it on your face. At the same time, you need to be considerate of the feelings of other guests.

If you look into it carefully, you'll find it's actually quite interesting.

Among the guests present, some had tasted the stone worm before, and their mouths were already watering uncontrollably.

Those who haven't tasted it before, upon smelling its incredibly delicious aroma, also become eager to try it.

In this lesson, the only sounds in the hall were the sounds of people savoring the delicious food and spontaneous exclamations of praise.

At this moment, the tasters are not stingy with any praise; they just want to express their love for the delicious food.

The dissatisfaction and worries in my heart had long been thrown to the winds, leaving only a strong anticipation for other delicacies.
