Chapter 163 The Story of a Gourmet
Lan Jue exclaimed: "The copper pot, charcoal fire, black pottery cup.[][]..[] The perfect match for rice wine! Add some shredded ginger when cooking wine, which is the best for people." As he said, he took the initiative to pick up the copper pot, poured a glass of wine for the foodie, and then poured a glass of wine for everyone.
Pick up the black plum and add one to each cup.
The foodie said: "You drink the soup while it's hot first."
"Okay." Lan Jue agreed and opened the stewing pot. Suddenly, a soft fragrance came to his face. Based on his understanding of the food, he could not tell what ingredients the clear soup in the stewing pot was made of stewed.
The light yellow clear soup was hot, and a spoonful of fresh air was immediately turned into a warm and indescribable bondage.
Lan Jue even felt the energy in his body rise with the heat, and a slight heat emerged from his forehead.
"Gourmet, what is this?" Lan Jue asked in surprise.
The foodie said calmly: "It is mainly made of wild Dendrobium officinalis, plus Taihuaxing's Tianfeng Bird and more than a dozen medicinal herbs. It has the effects of nourishing the five internal organs and qi and blood. Drink them all."
Lan Jue said in surprise: "Tianfeng Bird? You can find this too? Where did you come from the wild Dendrobium officinale? That thing is known as the leader of the nine immortal herbs in the Proterozoic China. Didn't it become extinct long ago?"
The foodie said, "Why do you still have so much nonsense when you eat some? Let's eat." As he said, he took a sip of wine first, picked up the chopsticks in front of him and started eating.
Lan Jue drank the soup and felt unspeakable. He took a sip of thick rice wine, and the ginger shredded rice plum mixed with the aroma of rice wine. This made his body warmer a little more.
The seemingly ordinary dishes on the table were all extremely exquisite. At the beginning, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, but when I tasted the delicious food, it was gorgeous, and the speed of Chu Cheng's chopsticks was significantly increased.
Lan Jue’s favorite is the dish of steamed crab girl Chencun flour. The aroma of Huadiao wine and the deliciousness of crabs are combined, turning into yellow juice, and then entering Chencun flour. The taste is simply indescribable.
The last piece of plum vegetable pork was snatched by Chu Chenghe Huali, and in the end, one person was half. The six plates on the table were empty. Even the soup was Lan Jue, and Chu Chenghe Huali ate it with steamed buns.
The gourmet smiled and said to Lan Jue: "Be careful in the future. Don't force things. I don't want to lose a good diner or drinker. If you eat enough, go away. Try not to bring irrelevant people next time."
"Okay." Lan Jue smiled and said, "Then let's go first. Cutter, what about you?"
The cutting machine said: "I'll help the foodies clean up before leaving. This is what we women are good at."
Chu Cheng took a deep look at the gourmet, and with the gorgeous touch, he walked out of the gourmet hut together.
The cutter stood up and packed the empty plates on the table. The gourmet was still sitting there, and from somewhere he pulled out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, but it didn't light it.
"Go, I don't mind." The cutter smiled.
The foodie flicked her fingers. A small cluster of flames lit the cigarettes, and a faint smell of tobacco suddenly spread out.
The cutter didn't say anything or ask. He just silently cleaned the table and went to the back to clean the kitchen.
"Everything is done, everything is in your habit. You can rest early in the evening, don't smoke too much, I'll leave first." The cutter said with a smile.
The foodie nodded and watched her leave.
Taking a deep breath of smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and a deep pain awakened.
After leaving the gourmet cottage, Lan Jue, Huali, Chu Cheng and the other two returned to Zeus Jewelry Store.
"Get some wine?" Chu Cheng said.
"Okay." Lan Jue walked back to his bedroom and took out a bottle of brandy and three cups.
Chu Cheng reached out his hand, took the bottle, poured himself a glass first, and drank it all, "It's better to have brandy! The rice wine is too light and not suitable for me."
Huali said: "What's the situation? Your uncle? Dear uncle?"
Chu Cheng nodded, "I didn't expect that he was here. No wonder we couldn't find him. He has been missing for a full twelve years."
Lan Jue said: "If it involves your family's secret, it goes without saying."
Chu Cheng smiled indifferently and said, "I can't say to outsiders, but what else can't say to you? Speaking of which, my uncle is also a legend. Ajue, do you know his strength?"
Lan Jue shook his head, "I only know that his superpowers are fire-attributed. I have never seen him take action, but he is also one of the eighteen members of Tianhuo Avenue. Among the members, he is also the most low-key. On weekdays, everyone only knows that he is good at cooking various delicacies. But he is also very strange. He rarely cooks, but he only makes some occasionally, and invites him to eat with people he likes. In recent years, I should be the one who eats the most."
Chu Cheng said: "That's because he thinks you look very similar to him."
"Hmm?" Lan Jue looked at him in surprise.
Chu Cheng said: "The story that happened to my uncle is like a novel. In their generation, he and my father and brothers were the only ones. You know my family's inheritance, but the bloodline strength of each generation is different. In my father and uncle's generation, the inheritance suddenly changed. My father only inherited a small amount of Pluto blood. Grandpa was disappointed and began to train my father into a business talent to handle the family business. But when my uncle was born, grandpa was surprised to find that the Pluto bloodline inherited by his uncle was the most intense in the past century."
"How is it compared to you?" Huali couldn't help asking.
Chu Cheng said in a deep voice: "According to grandpa, the bloodline of Pluto inherited by uncle is purer than mine."
After hearing what he said, Huali and Lan Jue couldn't help but take a breath. They all knew Chu Cheng's strength very well. Although Lan Jue defeated Huali and Chu Cheng with the cooperation of the Fourth Assistant Zeus, it was just a superficial phenomenon. If it was a life-and-death battle and everyone used the power of the law, then Lan Jue would not be sure to defeat Chu Cheng at all.
You know, when they first met, Lan Jue was far from understanding the mystery of the God King's Transformation, but Chu Cheng, who was only in his early twenties, was able to use the Pluto Transformation.
But he said that the blood purity of the gourmet is higher than that of him, what does this mean? The gourmet is still at the peak of the supernatural being! He has practiced for more years than Chu Cheng.
"Your uncle is not a master, right?" Hua Li whispered in confusion.
Chu Cheng shook his head, "I don't know. I only know that when my uncle left twelve years ago, he was already at the ninth level and eighth level. He was much stronger than me now. I am only at the ninth level and seventh level now. Uncle is fourteen years older than me. According to his talent, it is very possible to become the master."
"You continue, what happened back then?" Lan Jue asked curiously.
Chu Cheng said: "Uncle became famous at a young age, and at the same time he was highly expected by his family. You also know that our lineage is a natural enemy of the Demon King. It is precisely because of the suppression of the Demon King that we had to go to the Northern Alliance. Otherwise, we were the purest inheritors of the Western Alliance. The Dark Castle should also be the Castle of the Pluto. Grandpa hopes to train our uncle to become the master of this generation in the future. The Demon King Satan is already old. If we can give birth to a new Pluto, then it is very likely to regain everything we lost at the beginning."
"Uncle never left the family until he was twenty years old. He got the best resources in the family, but he also underwent the most harsh training. He developed his cold and tough personality. After he was twenty, his grandfather allowed his uncle to go out for experience, hone his abilities, and prepare for the future impact master. Although the strength of the superpower has nothing to do with age, generally speaking, if he wants to impact the level of the master, it is best before he is forty. Because he had enough potential at that time. The same is true for grandfather's plan."
"At the beginning, everything was normal. Every time my uncle traveled outside for a year, he would come back to seclusion for several months. Almost every time, his strength would make great progress. The family saw hopes getting bigger and bigger. But just fourteen years ago, the uncle left after his 27th birthday, but something went wrong."
"Grandpa ignored an important thing. Uncle is an individual, not a machine after all. He has endured too much and too much pressure. But there is no channel to release it. Grandpa never even thought of finding a partner for his uncle. The family finally produced such a genius. Grandpa just hopes that the family can produce another Pluto."
"But uncle has feelings! And at that time, uncle was already very strong and had a good image. He would inevitably attract women's attention. In the first few years, because he had been practicing hard for twenty years, he was still very rigid and difficult to accept foreign things. But as time went by, uncle gradually grew up, and the suppressed seven emotions and six desires also appeared. When he left at the age of twenty-seven, he fell in love with a woman."
The gossip fire in Huali's eyes was burning, "Isn't it just because you fell in love with a woman and were discovered by your grandfather, but you didn't allow them to be together, right? Isn't this the plot of a holographic projection TV series?"
Chu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's even more bloody than that. When my uncle came back when he was twenty-eight years old, he brought the woman back. Originally, because my uncle's cultivation progress was not affected, my grandfather was a little dissatisfied, but he agreed to let them be together. At that time, he realized that my uncle had grown up and needed a family. But tragic, my grandfather soon discovered that the woman he was in love with actually had the blood of the devil king."
