It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 553 [202] The Gourmet's Forced Fragrance Record
Two days later, the famous gourmet Wu Wei visited the Ecological Tower in Border Town Special Zone.

The vertical advertising slogan posted on the side of the Eco-Tower caught my eye: "Tired of synthetic tofu day after day? Come and eat real eggs! Real bacon!"

"Humph, you want to imitate the ecological farm of the Central Tower in the outer city? I want to see what you have up your sleeve!"

When Wu Wei stepped over the threshold of the pizza shop, his copper cane made a distinct thumping sound on the ground, as if he was testing the quality of the floor. He was tall and thin, wearing a well-cut dark windbreaker and a pair of frameless glasses. His hair was a little messy, but his beard was neatly trimmed, giving him a feeling of being unkempt but very individual.

Qin Jiandan had already sat in a VIP seat waiting for him. Seeing the young master of Yelonghui, Wu Wei had a little displeasure on his face, but his eyes revealed his persistence and seriousness in food. He slowly walked to the opposite side of Qin Jiandan and sat down. Every step along the way was to measure the atmosphere of this restaurant and the quality of the food.

"Mr. Wu Wei, Yelong will welcome you very much. I hope the food at Naples Pizza will satisfy you."

The pizza shop is bustling with people. Hearing that a famous gourmet is going to taste the food in this shop, many people come to watch the fun. However, Yelong will strictly control the number of people entering the shop, keeping it from appearing deserted but not too crowded.

Wu Wei took off his glasses, held a disinfectant cotton pad with gold-plated tweezers, and wiped it inch by inch.

"Naples is the birthplace of pizza. I hope you don't make it too unpalatable. I've eaten at restaurants in outer cities. Some of them even use prosthetic coolant to impersonate olive oil. It's really unacceptable."

In order to prevent the secret of the mutant eels from being leaked, Wu Wei agreed to come to the Eco Tower to taste the food, but also declared that he would not say good things about the bad food against his will.

Rabbit reporter Ding Ling and Uncle Turtle walked into the store slowly. Uncle Turtle carried a camera and took a circle outside the pizza shop. Ding Ling wrote down some inspirations with a recorder. Then the two of them stood next to the table of Qin Jiandan and Wu Wei.

The Roxon family, one of the three major families, controls the TV station. No one else can broadcast live except the Roxon family. Crime Fighter will compress the interview video into a CD and give it away free of charge to readers who buy the magazine.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ding Ling, an assignment reporter for Crime Fighter magazine. We are now on the first floor of the Eco Tower in the Border Town Special Zone in District 3 of East City. I'm sure you've all heard about the Christmas marketing campaign launched by the Night Dragon Club. There's another big event today, and that's the famous gourmet Mr. Wu Wei, who is coming to taste the Naples pizza restaurant inside the Eco Tower!"

"Mr. Wu Wei, who has always been known for his harshness and sharp tongue and has long been abusive in the food column of the Huanshicheng Daily, what kind of evaluation will he make of this restaurant? Let us wait and see!"

Ding Ling showed an extremely warm and cheerful expression in front of the camera. It seems that she really likes interviews and being a reporter.

Wu Wei put on his glasses, wiped them clean, and snorted, "It's still uncertain whether it's Naples or a wasteland."

Ding Ling had an embarrassed expression. Although this was not a live broadcast, she still demonstrated the qualities of a live reporter.

"He showed up! Before we even started eating, Mr. Wu Wei showed off his sharp tongue! According to the information I got, the pizza shop owners are a couple from the inner city, and they prepared their signature Margherita pizza for Mr. Wu Wei! Even Mario and Luigi from the Tifa Club praised their pizza!"

At this point, the owner's wife personally brought two hot pizzas to Wu Wei and Qin Jiandan. She opened her mouth to introduce the ingredients, but Wu Wei raised a finger and said, "I only judge the food itself."

The owner's wife retreated awkwardly. Wu Wei stretched his neck, lowered his head, and sniffed the pizza with his nose close to it, looking like a vulture ready to enjoy carrion.

Ding Ling asked Uncle Turtle to point the camera at Wu Wei and at the same time pushed the interview microphone towards him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wuwei, what do you think of the aroma of Margherita pizza? I'm drooling just standing here smelling it."

"The smell is barely passable. But this is the easiest hurdle to pass. You can achieve this effect by studying at the New Western Cooking School for a few years."

Through the transparent glass of the kitchen, the pizza couple looked out worriedly. Wu Wei had hardly ever said anything good about any of the food. Even if he did intend to praise it, he would always find fault with it.

In addition, for this newly opened store in the Eco Tower, the pizza couple plays the role of instructors. They do not come every day because they still need to get used to the oven and stove.

Qin Jiandan, on the other side, started eating first. His way of eating had none of the taste of a gourmet. Wu Wei thought it was "quite vulgar".

"Mr. Wu Wei, please eat quickly. No matter how good the pizza is, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

This sentence seemed to secretly mock Wu Wei's congenital loss of taste, and also reminded Wu Wei not to forget that the Yelong Society had a handle on him.

Ding Ling also said: "In addition to us, there are many other customers watching here. They must want to know what the difference is between the taste of gourmets and their ordinary taste!"

The turtle uncle held up the shoulder-mounted camera, his body motionless. Due to his slow movements, he could easily be mistaken for a model. A fluorescent sticker with the words "Do Not Disturb During Live Broadcast" was pasted on the edge of his tortoise shell - although it was not actually a live broadcast.

Wu Wei was urged by many people. He pulled out his own knife and fork from the inside of his windbreaker, pierced the crust with the tip of the knife and put a corner of the pizza into his mouth. He closed his eyes and began to eat in a very ritualistic manner, and the gourmet's Adam's apple rolled in an arc like swallowing poison.

“Hmph, let’s not talk about the kneading skills, there’s a problem with the fermentation time…” Just as he started to find fault, Wu Wei suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a delicious taste he had never experienced before blossomed on his tongue and in his mouth.

“How, how can it be so delicious! The fermentation acidity of the crust is obviously not enough, and the cheese stringing lacks beauty, but why does it evoke my long-lost hunger? Could it be that the tragic sentiments of the chefs in the outer city have achieved the post-apocalyptic pizza aesthetics in their imperfections?!”

Wu Wei's reaction was beyond many people's expectations. Ding Ling quickly handed over the microphone for the interview: "Mr. Wu Wei, do you admit that the Margherita pizza from this Naples pizza shop is good? You ate it voraciously. If the full score is 10, how many points would you give it?"

Qin Jiandan smiled confidently, chewing his pizza and saying, "Mr. Wu Wei, you can also taste the edge of the pizza, it has a different flavor."

Wu Wei gobbled up half a pizza in no time and even forgot to wipe the cheese off his lips.

"I...I give it 9 points, no, 9.5 points! This is the highest score in my career!"

"What? 9.5 points?" Ding Ling's rabbit ears fluttered like a helicopter. "The Boston lobster in the Central Tower Observation Restaurant didn't get such a high score, did it?"

Wu Wei ate until tears came out of his eyes. For years, he had been using mutant electric eels to enhance his sense of taste, but the excessive stimulation deprived ordinary people of their sense of hunger. Today's pizza tasting gave him an unprecedented sense of beauty that was not just a routine.

Ding Ling thought that Wu Wei was afraid that Ye Long would peel his skin and make it into a sofa, so he said that the pizza had a score of 9.5, but that was not the case.

Qin Jiandan and Wu Wei were eating pizza together, and he used time to transfer the "delicious" feeling in his mouth to Wu Wei, just like what he did to Mario and Luigi. Moreover, Qin Jiandan deliberately didn't eat lunch today, leaving the feeling of hunger until the evening, so he felt more satisfied when eating pizza.

Seeing Wu Wei crying while eating and giving the dish a high score of 9.5, the other customers all cheered.

"I told you the pizza here is delicious, right? Who says there's no delicious food out in the city?"

"Before the new Eco Tower store opened, I went to their old store to eat! I am their old customer!"

"I want a Margherita pizza, too! I want to try the food that makes famous gourmets cry!"

Qin Jiandan was afraid of failing, so he repeatedly used "Time Overwrite" to express the deliciousness and satisfaction he felt, bombarding Wu Wei with tears. He shouted at the camera lens: "I was wrong! It turns out that the food in the outer city is the soul of Huanshi City! I have never eaten such delicious food in my life! It smells so good!"

That night, this distorted expression was made into a "Really delicious" emoticon package on the Anxi website and went viral before Wu Wei's article of praise was published.

Ordinary people mostly followed suit. When inner-city residents saw famous gourmets say that pizza was delicious, they flocked to line up, making the Naples pizza shop crowded. Because the pizza couple was already good at cooking, no one was disappointed when they came to taste it, and they all said it was delicious.

Occasionally, a few picky people would say that it could not reach 9.5 points, and they would be immediately besieged by people around them, saying that they "lack taste", "sensational", "can you be more professional than a famous gourmet?"

The pizza shop has limited capacity, and some people couldn't wait for their turn, so they went to the "Lao Wang Fried Chicken No. 1 Store" next door to eat beer fried chicken. Unexpectedly, the experience was good, and they became fans of Lao Wang Fried Chicken like Qin Jiandan.

Qin Jiandan asked Ding Ling and Uncle Turtle to stay and continue filming the grand occasion for several days. In the end, he gave each of them a thick red envelope to commend their contributions.

"Thank...thank...young...master..."

While the turtle was slowly expressing his thanks, Ding Ling secretly counted the money in the envelope and jumped for joy.

"This is enough for me to buy another professional recorder, or bribe a news informant! It turns out that working for the Night Dragon Society has its benefits!"

It seems that Ding Ling is quite easy to satisfy. Ding Ling originally had two recorders. One of them was confiscated by Qin Jiandan and given to Linlin during the "fake pregnancy incident". Ding Ling seemed to have forgotten about it.

The business of the Eco Tower was booming, and there were no new discoveries when I took Vale and Linlin out for the "explosion search with police dogs". It seemed that the Nian Society did not send many bomb demons, at least they were honest for a while after the cannery spy was destroyed.

One day in mid-December, Qin Jiandan, who hadn't seen his wife for a long time, was eating lunch at Lao Wang Fried Chicken. He was about to contact Mu Yue when he saw two floating police cars landing on the platform outside the ecological tower. Mu Yue got out of the car with Grandma Qian Xing, but Han Shiyu and two helmeted police officers got out of the other car.

"The city police are investigating a case. Anyone who has nothing to do with it, please get out of the way!"

Han Shiyu was fiddling with her melta pistol proudly. When she saw Qin Jiandan with her orange and black eyes, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Brother-in-law, the police department sent me to arrest someone. I can't give you face even if I want to."
