We are from the future ark

"I say, we finally get to have a drink together, can you please not make things difficult for Xiaoqi?"

However, seeing his two old friends starting another quarrel, he waved his hand helplessly, indicating that it was enough.

"Shi Huaiya, stop fighting with Lao Chen. Xiao Qi is here, so it's a bit of a no-brainer."

"And Lao Chen, you too, don't make things difficult for Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi has grown up. She's 19 years old now, isn't she?"

"——Tsk." X2

However, with Xingxiong pulling them aside, Chen and Shi Huaiya naturally gave up their bickering, and they both sat back in their seats. Chen also let go of Chen Qi.

"Well, that's good." Xingxiong was in a much better mood when he saw that his two old friends were very cooperative. Then he picked up a piece of mutton from the pot with chopsticks and placed it in front of Chen Qi.

"Come here, Xiaoqi, I'll give you a piece of mutton, ah~"

"——He's not a child anymore!" X2

However, facing Xingxiong's double standard behavior, Chen Heshi Huaiya once again scolded him. Xingxiong also sat back with a wry smile, but still put the mutton in Chen Qi's bowl.

"...You are really loved by a group of people, you guy."

Meanwhile, watching the three women quarrelling again, Laplander, who was not drinking, spoke to Chen Qi in a very strange tone:

"You kid, if other people see this, they will stare you to death."

"Please don't make it sound like I'm the type who flirts with girls everywhere, okay?" Chen Qi rolled his eyes and took a sip of beer before looking around.

This is the new store that Shi Huaiya's family opened not long ago. It seems that business is quite average. But that is also why a table of people like them can sit in the hall so openly instead of squeezing into the private rooms.

"By the way, Aunt Shi Huaiya, did you run a hot pot restaurant?"

"We can make everything at home. I opened this shop with my pocket money for fun. The chef was hired from Yan Country. He's a professional!"

Shi Huaiya said this as she looked at the boiling hot spicy hotpot in front of her. Although she was a little scared, she would never back down since she had made up her mind to try it.

"Come on! Let's eat together! I heard that it's so cool to eat spicy food and drink cold beer at the same time."

"Don't be unable to get up the next day, even if it's Chinese New Year."

However, Chen Qi's faint warning voice did not stop all this. As a person who had traveled far and wide and had studied the culture of the Yan State, Chen Qi roughly knew that the hot pot chef in front of him was probably brought from somewhere in the Yan State.

To be honest, Chen Qi can handle spicy food, but so far, there are only two kinds of spicy food that have defeated him.

One is the invisible chili sauce sent from Casimir by a black-hearted knight woman who wishes to remain anonymous.

The other type is the kind of hot pot that was introduced to him by a bad girl he met in Yan Country.

To be honest, if that bad girl hadn't run fast, Chen Qi would have used Chi Xiao to chop that person to pieces. She actually dared to lie to him and said "this thing is not spicy".

"This taste... No! Not spicy enough! Boss! You can't keep this business going!"

Yes, yes, that's what this guy said...

However, while Chen Qi was still in the storm in his mind, Shi Huaiya and his group seemed to notice something. They all looked to the other side and saw a figure they had never seen before.

All I saw was a woman with snow-white hair mixed with red, tied into a ponytail, wearing a red tube top, a white coat, hot pants and a slightly striped outfit. With her pretty face, she looked like a rather fierce woman.

However, when such a woman opened her mouth, her voice was not very pleasant.

"Boss, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just driving customers away. The hotpot ingredients are neither clear nor spicy. You should either make a clear soup or make it spicy. You're just annoying me."

"...Good fellow, you are so arrogant."

However, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but lose her temper after hearing this. Although the woman didn't mention anyone by name, as the owner of this store, Shi Huaiya couldn't hold back. She stood up and came to the woman.

"Dear guest, I seem to have heard something interesting just now."

"You just said... the ingredients in my restaurant are not spicy enough?"

"Are you the boss?" However, the fierce woman took advantage of her height advantage to glance at Shi Huaiya, and smiled. She fiddled with the red paper fan in her hand and said to Shi Huaiya:

"Yes, that's what I said."

"It's really weird. I just came to Longmen not long ago. I walked a long way and wanted to eat something. I searched the whole street but couldn't smell any spicy food. I finally found this one, but it turned out to be so bad."

"Boss, I advise you to close this shop as soon as possible. If you really can't find a new chef, I suggest you hire me. I will let you experience what real spicy food is."

"——You are here to mess things up, right?"

The more Shi Huaiya listened, the more she felt something was not right. This woman looked pretty, but she was so arrogant and boastful that she even dared to say that the chef they hired was not good enough and not spicy enough.

If she doesn't prove this, her new store will really be closed down.

"Well, Miss, you should not mind trying it. Whether it is spicy or not, you have to eat it to know."

"Hahahaha! Is it free?" The fierce woman laughed loudly upon hearing this, then waved her hand and said in a very heroic manner:

"If it's free, go for it! If I even blink at this pot of soup, I lose! I call you sister!"

"But if I win, boss, you have to eat this can of hot sauce in my hand and taste what real flavor is!"

As she spoke, the fierce woman took out a can of hot sauce from somewhere and placed it on the table. The packaging of the hot sauce looked very ordinary, but for some reason, the red color inside, combined with the woman's tone, gave people a bad feeling.

Chen Qi also noticed all this, and just as he was about to speak

"——Okay! I bet!"

"Today! If you lose! You crawl out!"

However, it was still a step too late. Shi Huaiya's tiger temper flared up and Chen Qi was a step too late.

"Cook! Make it spicy! I want to see today whether her tongue is made of fire or hot sauce! Can she feel it is not spicy!"

Chapter 21: Shi Huaiya who can’t stand losing

Gambling is something that is extremely addictive. The harder the temper of the person you encounter, the worse the consequences will be. It is like an egg hitting a stone. But if two stones hit each other, one of them will inevitably break.

At this moment, Shi Huaiya and the man in front of him were like two stones colliding with each other. Neither of them would give in to the other, and now they had to argue until they were red in the face, and would not give up even if it meant both of them died.

Although Shi Huaiya and Chen usually competed with each other, they were actually familiar with each other and knew each other's temper. They also knew that it was not that they were particularly incompatible with each other, it was just that their tempers were a little different, so there was no need to fight to the death.

But it’s different now. The woman in front of him is a stranger to Shi Huaiya, but she is speaking rudely in front of Shi Huaiya.

Although Shi Huaiya was not a petty person, he had almost no resistance to provocation.

What's more, this matter is related to her dignity and her ability to be a boss. As the daughter of the Shi Huaiya family, Shi Huaiya has had a unique vision since she was a child, but the woman in front of her actually said that her vision is not good.

This is not just a provocation, it is a challenge to her vision!

In order to prove that there is nothing wrong with his vision, and also to make this rude woman in front of him crawl out, Shi Huaiya must show his true ability this time and make this woman regret it!

"boom!"

An hour later, Shi Huaiya personally brought out a large pot of steaming boiling liquid from the kitchen, and then placed it all on the table.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly the boiling hot substance floating in the pot.

At first glance, it was a sea of ​​red, churning with materials that were impossible to tell what they were made of. One could only feel an unbearable, irritating smell coming towards one, making one try to avoid it.

"what?!"

Lappland of the Luper tribe, who had the most sensitive sense of smell, was the first to sense the terrifying existence of the soup base. Her already fair skin turned even paler after she smelled the scent.

Lappland was rarely afraid, and became even more fearless after becoming the [Wolf King]. It could be said that apart from Red, who had been wandering around Rhodes Island and occasionally appeared beside Chen Qi, and Texas, who now seemed like a stalker, Lappland had never been afraid of anything.

But now, she felt an inexplicable life threat from this pot of hot pot base, and her brain nerves kept warning her to stay away from this pot of unknown liquid.

She will die! She will really die! And she may die ugly! Lapland's brain kept sending her this message, making her avoid it.

"This... I actually feel a kind of magical skill in cooking."

Xing Xiong on the side also changed her expression. As a Dongguo person, Xing Xiong seldom eats spicy food. After working in Longmen for so long, she has eaten a lot of skewers and can eat some spicy food. However, facing such a challenging thing, she couldn't help but feel afraid.

As for Chen, when she smelled the smell, she had no time to hide and hid behind Xingxiong, as if she was afraid that a big hot red hand would suddenly reach out from the pot of liquid and pull her in.

"This pot! It's made with all the ingredients I have on hand! Our chef secretly collected the ingredients from his hometown in Yan Country. I paid him three months' salary to buy this!"

Shi Huaiya was wearing a device similar to a gas mask on her face, which she had taken out from somewhere. Waves of dull sounds slowly came, but they still could not conceal Shi Huaiya's smug and cynical tone.

"It's not too late to give up now! If you take a bite of this, you might pass out from the spiciness!"

"..."

However, in front of everyone, the fierce woman's expression paused slightly, as if she was really considering something.

After a long while, under the smug gaze of Shi Huaiya, the fierce woman stretched out a palm and felt the temperature of the boiling red soup.

"……That's it?"

The next second, the fierce woman's surprised and slightly disdainful tone made everyone present slightly stunned.

Did they just... hear what this woman said?

However, before the group could react, the fierce woman burst into laughter and said:

"Isn't it better to start with some soup? That's fine. It's a little light, but it's enough to whet your appetite!"

After saying that, the fierce woman put away the fan in her hand and put it on her waist. After rubbing her two red palms together for a while, she smiled and said:

"Look at you! Let me let you taste the saltiness of this pot of soup first!"

"boom."

After that, under the incredulous gazes of the group of people, the fierce woman grabbed the edge of the cauldron, and under the horrified gazes of everyone, she opened her fiery little mouth that seemed to be painted with lipstick, tilted her head back and started drinking!

As if she was drinking beer like a cow, the hot-tempered woman tilted her head back and with one hand, the huge pot of spicy base went down her small mouth and into her throat. It was quite strange, because her mouth was not big and the edge of the pot was so wide, but not a drop of soup flowed down or dripped onto her clothes and body.

However, at this time, no one paid attention to this detail.

"This this……"

Shi Huaiya, who had been very proud, was now stunned and speechless. Looking at the woman who was drinking such a large pot of soup base with her head tilted back, even with a protective mask on, one could sense her extremely horrified expression.

"This, this is a hot pot base made from fried chili peppers, with a spiciness of 500,000 Scotch!"

"Drinking with her head tilted back like that—is her tongue made of chili peppers?!"

"——She is not an ordinary person." At this moment, Chen on the side finally reacted. They made a mistake from the beginning and treated this woman as an ordinary person.

This kind of resistance to spiciness and heat is definitely related to this woman's Originium skills!

This woman didn't come in to provoke simply because she was dissatisfied! She came prepared!

No, or rather, she came here on purpose because she saw something here that she liked!

"boom!"

However, just when everyone was guessing, the sound of a pot falling to the ground brought everyone back to their senses.

"Hahahaha! It's not bad! Just a little lighter than the ones in Yanguochuandi."

The fierce woman laughed loudly, as if she didn't notice the extremely vigilant expressions of others towards her. She looked at Shi Huaiya and said:

"Boss? Are you convinced? Do you mean what you said just now?"

"Well, here's my special chili sauce. Please enjoy it!"

After saying that, the fierce woman pretended to open the can of hot sauce. However, the moment she opened it, a very pungent smell hit her face!

This jar of hot sauce looks very small, but it proves what is meant by "concentrated is the essence". When I just opened it and smelled it from afar, the stimulation it brought was even stronger than the big pot of base before!

This is the effect that has already been condensed. If it is put into clear water and boiled... no one dares to imagine how huge a sensation such an aura will cause in Longmen!

"Come on, boss, you're not going to default on your debt, are you?" The fierce woman looked like she was enjoying a good show, looking at Shi Huaiya's gloomy and uncertain expression, and said with a smile:

"Trust me, this stuff isn't spicy. Even though it's a bit spicy for you guys, it's not that bad."

"—you farted! *Victoria swears*!"

However, all of a sudden, Shi Huaiya stood up abruptly, flipped the table in front of him, and stared at the fierce woman in front of him with wide eyes!

"Squat down by the wall! I'm from the Longmen Guard Bureau!"

"You entered the country without permission with biological weapons! I will arrest you!"

Chapter 22: Kidnapped Chen Qi, the mysterious "Nian"

"I am Shi Huaiya, the senior superintendent of the Longmen Guard Bureau! I suspect that you have entered the country without permission with extremely dangerous biological and chemical weapons! I want to arrest you!"

"Just surrender! You woman with a tongue made of chili peppers!"

"*Yan State Shu Land swear words*! Are you refusing to pay? If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"
