The weird game of the ancient gods - #174 - Chapter 173 Boiled Cabbage

Of course, in addition to being easy to digest, it must also be valuable. Don’t eat cheap things indiscriminately.

After walking around several tables, he finally found one that met his requirements.

In the vegetable area, bowls of cabbage soup caught Xia Yu’s attention. The appearance of this dish was very simple. It was a bowl of clear soup with a few cabbage leaves in it, and a wolfberry in the middle. It looked ordinary. Eye-catching.

However, since it appeared in the hall of the eternal feast, Xia Yu naturally did not really regard it as ordinary cabbage soup. He looked at it for a few times and thought to himself, could it be the legendary ‘boiled cabbage’?

The story of the dish of boiled cabbage is widely circulated on the Internet. Although Xia Yu has never eaten it, he has heard of it.

It is said that once when the Prime Minister hosted a banquet for foreign guests, the guests saw that the dish they were served was just a few cabbages floating on clear water. They thought it must be bland and tasteless, and they were reluctant to use their chopsticks. After several invitations from the Prime Minister, the foreign guests reluctantly scooped some soup with a small spoon. Unexpectedly, when they tasted it, they were immediately stunned. While devouring it, they did not forget to ask the Prime Minister, why can cabbage boiled in white water be so delicious?

It turns out that this boiled cabbage is made from northern Chinese cabbage hearts, cooked with chicken, duck, and ribs, and seasoned with a clear stock of minced chicken and pork. At the end of the soup, some chicken oil is poured into the soup.

It seems simple and unpretentious, but it shows the skill of making soup. After the dish is ready, the soup will be mellow, elegant and clear to the bottom; the dish will be tender green in color and gorgeous in shape. When you see it, you will feel fresh and bright, when you smell it, it will be fragrant and fragrant. When you eat it, it will be tender and sludged, and it will be extremely delicious.

Of course, Xia Yu heard all this on the Internet. He would have the opportunity to eat it, so he couldn’t let it pass. The key is that this thing does not occupy his stomach. There are only a few cabbage leaves, and the rest is soup. And since It’s a dish served at a state banquet, and it’s certainly not cheap.

He picked up a bowl and took a sip of the soup, and his eyes suddenly lit up. It was indeed amazingly delicious, and he had a mouthful of aftertaste. It was definitely the ‘boiled cabbage’ that had not escaped. The delicious taste of this soup was not much worse than Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. He picked up a cabbage leaf and ate it. After drinking it, the fragrance is unusual, but the taste is too soft and tender, which makes it more suitable for the elderly.

He ate it in three or two bites without saying a word.

System prompt: You have successfully finished a dish, which has been included in the points settlement. Please keep up your efforts and work hard.

Xia Yu glanced at his watch, which showed the number of dishes killed by eleven players.

Traveler: Current dishes: 2. Ranked tenth.

Although this was only the number of dishes and not points, it still made Xia Yu feel a little anxious.

Xia Yu looked at the people in the front and was shocked. Ergouzi, who was ranked first, had already eaten 17 dishes in such a short time. This guy is really a beast. How can he eat so well?

The second-ranked Overlord only had seven dishes, which was more than double the difference.

He had to work harder. Xia Yu thought and picked up another bowl of boiled cabbage. He poured it down like a cow chewing peonies. In the blink of an eye, he drank another bowl. Xia Yu looked at how many bowls there were and thought to himself. Don’t keep it, just eat several bowls of boiled cabbage in one go. In a short time, all five bowls of boiled cabbage were eaten.

His stomach was full and uncomfortable, but Xia Yu was not worried. Most of what he ate was soup, not much real food. He would probably be able to go into battle again after resting for a while.

Looking at the number of dishes, there are already six servings, ranking sixth.

And a fortune cookie dropped.

【Fortune cookies (food)

Use: Get a lucky saying.

Item introduction: A delicious snack made by God Queen Frigga herself. The crispy shell hides a few words about her destiny. 】

Fortune cookies are standard in Chinese restaurants abroad. Usually there is a piece of paper hidden inside with a lucky saying, prophecy or the like, but it is very rare in China.

Xia Yu had heard about it on the Internet, but the fortune cookie made by Queen Frigga in his hand was obviously used differently, because after pinching it open, no note was found, and it was a completely solid cookie.

Do you have to eat it? Xia Yu thought about it and threw the biscuit into his mouth and started chewing it. As soon as the biscuit was eaten, a sentence came to his mind for no reason.

[The first one doesn’t work, the second one doesn’t work, and the third one doesn’t work either]

This sentence appeared out of thin air, but it was extremely clear. Xia Yuxin said that this must be the fortune cookie’s prophecy, but what did it mean?

Could it be that I can’t be number one, number two, or even number three? This sign is too unlucky.

He was most annoyed by this kind of charade, but considering that fortune tellers from all over the world seemed to like doing this, there was nothing he could do about it.

He didn’t get too entangled. In the end, this thing was just a show, and the winner or loser was still decided at the dinner table. He was a little curious about how Ergouzi could eat so many vegetables. When he looked over there, he saw that this guy had turned into a leopard, lying on the ground and chewing meat. But it was completely different. Xia Yu remembered reading the introduction on Baidu Encyclopedia. It was said that a leopard could eat up to twenty kilograms of meat in one meal. This was the complete difference between beasts and humans.

Ergouzi has only eaten twenty plates of meat now, which is probably not even ten kilograms, and is far from the limit.

He glanced at the others. Everyone was eating hard, with the exception of one person, the leader.

The leader is currently tasting a dish of truffled foie gras, accompanied by a plate of toast and a bottle of red wine. It is a delicious meal. Xia Yu was a little surprised and thought to himself: Why does the leader still eat bread? Is there something special about this bread?

He took a few curious glances and found that not only the bread, but also the leader ate everything. He would eat a little of this dish and a little of that dish, just as if he was enjoying the delicious food.

Finally, he couldn’t help but asked: “Leader, why do you still eat bread?”

The leader looked up and smiled at him, “Why, is it weird?”

“You should know that bread is not valuable, right?”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ve given up anyway.”

“Give up! Are you kidding me?” Xia Yu was startled.

The leader shook his head: “It’s not a joke, haven’t you understood? There are only two ways to win this game, either you can eat and know which food is more valuable, or you can eat and have a super appetite, both If you take it, you have a high chance of winning. If you take one of the two, you still have a chance to fight. If you don’t take both, don’t put in any effort. How about enjoying the delicious food?”

Xia Yu thought for a moment and realized that this was really the case. He was definitely not as good as Fujiwara Fubuki and Gentleman in terms of knowing how to eat. In terms of being able to eat, he was not as good as Bawang, Ergouzi, or even as good as Bawang and Ergouzi. There is no special advantage between Dragon Cavalry and Black Bird, and there are only three winners in this match. No matter how you look at it, you have no hope. “

The leader said: “So, don’t take any chances. You will lose anyway, so why not enjoy the food well, lest in the end you not only lose the game, but also forget what you ate.”

Xia Yuxin said that this is not possible. So far, he has never lost. Although the chance is slim, he must try his best.

He touched his stomach, but he still didn’t go down. It was estimated that he would have to wait for an hour or two before he could continue to cook, but it would be a trouble for these guys. He returned to the table where the cabbage was boiled and saw that no one was around – Meal Making Technique – -Change!
