Chapter 240 Glowing Food!

【Century Soup】

From "Captives of Food", it is a "thick soup" naturally formed in the food display window where countless rare delicacies are frozen in the extremely cold region.

It is so clear that it is even as transparent as air, and beautiful aurora can be seen above the finished product.

As for its taste, it only needs one word to describe it:
ice!
All drinkers will involuntarily turn their faces into perverted smiles due to the irrepressible sense of satisfaction!

But ice can cause harm to the body, but what about Century Soup? This is a natural treasure with great benefits.

There was clearly no mention of addictive properties in its effects, but after Gong Qiying gave Kuripa a spoonful of Century Soup, the elf gourmet acted as if he had taken too much blood healing potion and kept wanting more.

Gong Qiying assured that he had absolutely no improper thoughts about elves, especially male elves. He really just liked Kuripa's ability and wanted to give him a little sweet treat to motivate him to win the game.

Who would have thought that gourmets would become so dependent on Century Soup!
"This is the [Secret Seasoning Bitter Ingredient]. I got it with great difficulty. You are only allowed to use a little during the competition."

Gong Qiying placed the secret seasoning from "Pokémon Vermillion" in front of Kulipa and said:
"But it's not good to cook with only bitterness. You should continue to look for salty and spicy ingredients according to the clues I gave you."

He thought for a moment and added, "It doesn't matter if I can't find it. There are many ingredients in the food area. I believe I can win even without relying on the legendary seasoning."

"I will definitely find the seasoning, don't worry, I will never let that bastard Bashi defile my paradise."

Gong Qiying's words instead aroused Kuripa's fighting spirit, and the two of them discussed cooking with great interest. The latter then hurriedly left, preparing to continue to enter the food area the next day.

"He's a very simple person, that's fine."

After chatting, Gong Qiying confirmed that the other party was a gourmet who was devoted to food and had no interest in anything else.

For example, just now he deliberately talked about the monsters and treasures in the dungeon, which are things that most people are interested in, but the other party fell asleep the next second.
In short, it is most appropriate to use Kuripa to win.

However, just in case, Gong Qiying planned to wait until Kuripa entered the dungeon next time and temporarily put some good things in the food area.

Soon after, the news of the food competition became widely known due to the publicity of certain people.

Under Bashi's organization, a steady supply of food was transported to Bed City. These were naturally the food they needed for the competition, and they were all top-notch goods that he could get with his status.

The rump of a flying dragon, the tail of a Thor lizard, and the steak of a mountain cow.
These are things that only the big shots in upper society can afford to eat, and it’s the first time that the people of Bed City have seen them!
Looking at people's curious gazes, Bashi and his apprentices were full of confidence.

And during the days when they were delivering food, Kuripa was not idle either.

He used his own financial resources to organize a team of adventurers, but it cannot be said that he organized the team because he directly rented the guild's exploration team!

The exploration team was indeed outstanding. During the days of preparation, they reaped a lot of rewards. Many of the good things they had never seen before surprised the exploration team - why haven't we seen these things before! ?

They even obtained outrageous things that were absolutely impossible for them to obtain with their strength.

Kuripa attributes these discoveries to Gong Qiying's guidance, and also feels that he has a spiritual connection with the food area, believing that this is a blessing from the God of Food.

While harvesting a large amount of ingredients, he discussed recipes with Gong Qiying day and night. He found that this mysterious store manager he met by chance had a deep understanding of food and could always come up with unique insights. His favorability towards Gong Qiying increased rapidly.

As for why Gong Qiying had such deep insights and why he was able to get clues about the seasonings, Kuripa was not interested at all. For him, being able to communicate about food was enough.

The days passed by in the busy preparations, and finally this day arrived.

"The red team on the left is the food area guard team represented by one-star chef Mr. Kulipa!"

"The blue team on the right is represented by Mr. Bashi, the two-star chef, who is the challenger of the food region!"

"The judges for this competition are composed of a panel of three-star chefs and public judges selected from local residents. Please believe that the results will be absolutely fair and just!"

"Next, please welcome the sponsor of this competition, the honorable Count Charon!"

At the hot competition scene, Charon, dressed exquisitely and handsomely, waved to the people and delivered a long speech.

As he delivered a lengthy speech, there was nothing harmonious about the two sides of the contest.

Bashi, tall and strong with a standard red neck appearance, reveals a wild demeanor, but the dishes he makes are famous for their exquisiteness.

Kulipa, a spirited elf-like old man, is best at cooking vegetarian dishes in a variety of styles.

The two looked at each other from a distance, there seemed to be sparks flashing in the air, and the former showed a contemptuous smile.

"Game start!"

This is a competition without rules. Both sides give their all in order to make the most perfect dish!

Make delicious food that will impress the world!

There are four chances, each side has the chance to serve four dishes, and they will decide the winner.

Bashi sent out one of his apprentices, and so did Kulipa. The two of them were the finale and of course they had to appear at the end.

"Mr. Bashi sent out his best man, Mendre. He is already an eighth-level chef at a young age and is likely to take over Mr. Bashi's legacy! How will Mr. Kulipa deal with such a strong opponent?"

"You go." Kulipa patted a young-looking apprentice, who shrank his shoulders and walked over cautiously.

"They actually sent a chef who had never taken the grade test. Could this young man be Mr. Kulipa's hidden trump card? Let's wait and see!"

The two sides shook hands, and the young elf chef was overshadowed by the tall Mendre and seemed a little timid.

The latter gave the same contemptuous smile as his master and turned back to the kitchen counter.

The host walked straight up to Mendre and interviewed him.

"May I ask what delicious food you prepared today?"

"The sixth segment of the Thor lizard's tail meat is also known as the golden meat. It can only be produced by the royal individuals in the tribe. After cooking, it will reveal a faint golden luster."

Mendre placed a piece of tail meat as big as a human head on the chopping board, and everyone exclaimed in amazement. This kind of meat could be sold at a sky-high price at an auction, and most people had never even seen it.

Mendre grinned, cutting the tail meat skillfully, and introduced: "This time I will make grilled steaks, served with a sauce made from the tears of the Qingyu Chicken King and the Sec Flower, as well as..."

Expensive ingredients kept popping out of his mouth, and every time he said a word, the host loudly explained the source of the ingredients, singing and responding like a crosstalk. "It's a feast for the eyes, to see so many high-quality ingredients, I would be willing to eat these every day!" There was an exclamation from the audience.

Your abacus is flying in my face. Gong Qiying in the audience glanced at the person and found out it was Malu. This girl actually came here to slack off.

"So, what kind of dish does our hidden ace plan to make today?"

The green elf said as he washed the rice: "Fried rice."

"Oh, what else?" the host asked, "According to the elves' recipes, this fried rice you made should be a healthy vegetarian dish?"

"No, I plan to stir-fry it with meat, which is more in line with the public's taste."

"Excuse me, are there any rare ingredients used?"

"Well, the shiny rice from the Fairy Forest, onions, and..."

The audience had no reaction, and Mendre smiled brightly, because these were extremely common ingredients, so common that even his high-end restaurant would not purchase them.

Just from the choice of ingredients, the elves have already lost -

“And jewel meat from the gourmet area.”

The elf brought up a storage box with a preservation magic.

"Gem flesh?"

Mendre chuckled. It was something he had never heard of before. It was just a poor imitation of my golden meat.

You named it Gem Flesh, do you really think it can shine like a gem?

He stared at the elf to see what it was, and then he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because, when the storage box was opened, the sky was full of bright stars, and a whole piece of round and tender precious meat appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Ingredients with their own special effects!
No matter how precious the food in this world is, it is just food. The golden color of golden meat is just due to the excess fat. It is not like gem meat that really sparkles like a gem!
"This, this," the host was incoherent, staring at the Gem Flesh in amazement. This beautiful special effect was enough to explain something.

The green elf continued:

"The main ingredient is Gem Meat, the egg used is from Happiny, and the auxiliary ingredients are the onions from Farfetch'd, Slowpoke's tail, and..."

The ingredients are indeed from the gourmet area, but they are all things that no one has ever heard of. Where did these elves get them?
Bashi looked at the Gem Flesh with a frown on his face, then turned to look at Kuripa.

The latter looked at him without hesitation, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Mendre's face darkened. He keenly felt the threat and immediately buried his head in cooking.

The elf also turned the Eternal Sword in his hand and cut the onion of Onion Duck in half.

The audience was aroused by the intense scene, and the place was filled with a hot atmosphere.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, time is up! Both sides serve their dishes!

The several golden steaks made by Mendre were sizzling with oil, and the rich fat made the surface flow with a light golden color, which looked really good.

The three-star chef judges all had blank expressions on their faces, as serious as if they were in court. They took a bite of the steak and nodded slightly.

The reactions of the public judges were much more exaggerated. They all praised the dish for being delicious and said, "If I could eat this in my lifetime, I would die without regrets."

Bashi nodded to Mendre, suggesting that he should not worry. Based on his understanding of the judges, their nod meant that they recognized the quality of the dish.

And then, it was the elf's turn to serve the food.

The fried rice dishes were served in trays and covered with lids, as if to keep them warm?
This dish has attracted much attention since the Gem Meat appeared, and the expressionless judges opened the lid.

"Ah! My eyes!"

The audience sitting nearby screamed one after another; their eyes were blinded!
The moment the lid was opened, golden light shot up into the sky, and even the sky was dyed with color!

These elves actually put flash magic in the food! ?

Behind the golden light is a sky full of stardust, which is the color of gem flesh.

This is not a magic trick, but the color of the food itself is awakened and displayed in front of the world.

This is the first day that glowing food appears in the world.

Suddenly, a fragrance that had never been felt before wafted around, the judges' expressions changed, and some even moved their throats.

Kuripa noticed this detail keenly and immediately felt that he had won the game, while Bashi felt that something was wrong.

The leading judge scooped up a spoonful of food, but stopped at the edge of his mouth without taking it in. His expression suddenly came alive, and he asked:

“Can I ask what you guys are going to cook next?”

The elf responded politely: "Sliced ​​puffer whale, baby corn, and a soup."

"Is it tasty?"

The elf nodded.

The judge tried hard to control his expression. "Then I feel relieved."

When the brightly colored fried rice entered their mouths, the judges' expressions suddenly changed.
A face full of happiness?
Those judges with expressionless faces actually showed this kind of expression!
Happy Egg: A wonderful egg filled with happiness. If you eat it, no matter how violent a person is, they will become gentle and kind.
