The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 394
Chapter 394 Nine Cold Dishes
“Just now, the wine we drank was a fine wine from our Heavenly Rock City. It is called the Spirit Spring Wine. It was brewed from the spirit energy of our Heavenly Rock City, the high-grade crystal rice, the Spirit Spring of Heavenly Rock Mountain, and the water and fire cores.”
“We only need three main ingredients to brew this wine.”
“First, the crystalline rice with high crystallinity.”
“Second, the Spirit Spring that can be drunk.”
“Third, fire and water crystal cores.”
“The ten cities have their own methods for planting this crystal rice. One of the main ingredients, high-crystallinity crystal rice, should not be difficult to obtain.”
“As for this spirit spring, I believe that there will be plenty of it in that lofty Mount Emei.”
“Compared to Qingfeng City, the final Water and Fire element crystal core is not a problem at all.”
“As for the brewing technique, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. If Brother Tian Ming really wants to, then let’s wait for the Heavenly Rock City Academy’s grand ceremony to personally observe it.”
“Or, if Brother Tian Ming doesn’t dislike it, it’s not impossible for me to give it to Brother Tian Ming and the other two winemakers.”
Ji Tianming was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, he just wanted to test the attitude of this Rock King.
In other words, he wanted to see his attitude towards Qingfeng City, his attitude towards his uncle, in order to see his younger sister’s status in his heart.
Originally, according to his imagination, this fellow would at most decline, but he didn’t expect this fellow to have such courage.
Without the slightest refusal or even the slightest bit of rejection, Ji Tianming immediately agreed, causing Ji Tianming’s face to involuntarily show some admiration.
However, it was not his style not to take advantage of him.
Ji Tianming had a smile on his face, but he generously replied, “Haha! Since Lord Rock King is so generous, that day will be disrespectful.”
Yifan smiled faintly and waved his hand, “Alright! I like it, Brother Tian Ming’s true temperament.”
“This matter is settled. When Brother Tian Ming leaves, I will naturally prepare two winemakers to follow him.”
Hearing this, Ji Tianming smiled even more. He suddenly stood up and raised the wine cup in his hand that had just been filled by the maidservant. He smiled and said, “Rock King, you’re welcome. Tian Ming offers a toast to Lord Rock King.”
After he finished speaking, he did not even have the slightest ink on his face. He raised his neck and a cup of Spirit Spring Wine was already in his stomach. Seeing this, Yifan did not hesitate. He immediately stood up and drank all the wine in his cup in a single gulp as a token of respect.
Everyone present witnessed the heroic aura of the Rock King in this short period of time. Such a brewing method of fine wine could be given as soon as they said it.
In fact, there were winemakers in every city. After all, wine culture had existed in China for thousands of years. Even in the apocalypse, fine wine was still an indispensable luxury in every city.
However, Heavenly Rock City was Heavenly Rock City. As expected of China’s number one city, it was just a cup of wine for a banquet. It already had the effect of stimulating crystal power and accelerating its operation.
In other cities, there might be fine wine that tasted the same as Spirit Spring Wine, but their wine definitely wouldn’t have the effect of accelerating the circulation of crystal energy.
In a sense, the speed at which this crystal energy circulated was also related to the speed of cultivation. This was enough to show how unique and precious this Spirit Spring Wine was.
This was also the reason why Ji Tianming, the young lord of Qingfeng City, could not sit still and was the first to ask for it with his status.
It was because he was a smart person and also a smart person. He clearly knew the value of this wine. So, he said.
It seemed to be reckless, seemingly exaggerated, seemingly impossible, but in reality, it was confident. It was neither harmless nor harmful. It had the heart to probe, but also the desire to be greedy. It could be said to be a stone countless birds.
In fact, even the people of other cities knew how precious this wine was. As the upper echelons of Heavenly Rock City, how could Fei Na and Ji Ruoxue not know the value of this Spirit Spring Wine?
At this moment, Ji Ruoxue’s eyes flashed with a bright light. In fact, she did not expect her brother to suddenly make such an unreasonable request.
She didn’t expect that Yifan would give it to her brother so easily. After all, she hadn’t seen him do anything at a loss since she followed Yifan.
As smart as she was, how could she not understand why Yi Fan was so generous? The ultimate reason was naturally because of her.
He was very concerned about his own feelings and didn’t want her to be sandwiched between the two cities. He didn’t want anyone to compare the brewing method of a good wine with hers, so he gave it to her, giving it incomparably happily.
Ji Ruoxue was so smart that she instantly thought of the joints and couldn’t help but reveal a happy smile on her face.
She suddenly stood up and raised the glass in her hand, slamming it against Yi Fan’s cup that had not yet been put down.
Then, he drank a mouthful of the wine in his cup. Although he didn’t say a word, his eyes were filled with joy and emotion. Even a fool could tell.
Everyone who saw this cast envious gazes at the Rock King.
At the same time, everyone seemed to understand something about this matter. The relationship between the Ji Clan of Qingfeng City and Heavenly Rock City did not seem to be as good as they had imagined.
Seemingly in harmony, there was actually such an operation. This Rock King was enough. For the sake of his own woman, such a big pit had jumped down without hesitation.
Of course, the people sitting at this table were all extremely smart people. At this time, naturally, no one would jump out and ask for trouble.
The two of them only had the matter of the spirit wine, but between the cups, everyone had just sat down, but none of them moved their chopsticks.
In fact, Yifan, the host, hadn’t even moved his chopsticks yet. As guests, they naturally wouldn’t move their chopsticks first.
As soon as Yifan sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and smiled heartily, “Come… Come! Let’s start. Everyone, let’s try these cold dishes together.”
After saying that, Yifan was also in front of him. He picked up a piece of Goose Treasure from the Seven Treasures Platter and placed it in his mouth.
Seeing their host move his chopsticks, everyone naturally moved their chopsticks. Fina and Ji Ruoxue were even eating while not forgetting to introduce the exquisite cold dishes on the table.
The cold dishes on the table were eight cold and ten hot compared to the standard of ordinary high-grade banquets. There was a total of nine cold dishes.
First, crystal yam. It was made from mutated yam and mixed with cold. The plate was exquisite and cut into neat cuboids. A crystal tower was set up. It was magnificent and looked extremely attractive.
Second, Xiangxiang beef, mutated beef, Xiang sauce secret, cut into pieces, decorated with coriander, garlic and other seasonings, neat plate, a unique fragrance of meat, fascinating.
Thirdly, the five grains were plentiful, and the largest plate of cold dishes on the table contained corn, soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, purple diamonds, and five kinds of food.
The plate was carefully divided into yellow, green, orange, red and purple colors, equally divided into the plate, like a windmill, rotating between each other, the color of the dish was excellent.
Fourth, it was refreshing. Among the mutated cabbages, the freshest and tender cabbage was perfectly sliced like a tender green flower. It was extremely beautiful.
Fifth, roasted pepper preserved egg, preserved egg cut petals, neatly arranged like lotus flowers, fire red roasted spicy, lid like lotus heart, beautiful, let people swallow saliva.
Sixth, the red oil had crisp ears, translucent crimson pigs’ ears, cut into filaments, and reflected the milky white cartilage within. It was like waves of red oil, extremely attractive.
Its seven, seven precious platters, take mutated chicken, duck, goose, cow, sheep, pig, dog, seven animals before the apocalypse inside precious, brine secret, slices like a fortress, let a person can’t let it go.
Eighth, the secret phoenix claws were made from unique marinated juice and mutated bird claws. They were made in secret and were golden yellow. They were placed on a plate. They were really like phoenix claws and seemed to emit sharp energy.
Ninth, the mutated fish fed by Drunken Fragrant Hunan Fish and Spirit Spring Wine were cut into thin slices like cicada wings. The fragrance of the fish fragrance mixed with the wine was so natural that one couldn’t let it go.
On Ji Ruoxue’s chopsticks was a cuboid-shaped yam, translucent and sparkling like a crystal artwork.
She said, “Come, come, come! Everyone, have a taste of our Heavenly Rock City’s Crystal Yam. This is a unique mutation of our Heavenly Rock City.”
“I dare say that you may have eaten mutated yam before, but you have never eaten a crystal yam like this in Heavenly Rock City.”
“This dish is called Crystal-like Dioscorea. It’s definitely an original craftsmanship. It’s just a simple blanch and a small amount of seasoning. It’s definitely worth a try.”
After he finished speaking, he even put the crystal yam in his hand into his mouth and let out a crisp sound. It seemed to be enjoyable.
Han Xiaoxuan, who was sitting beside Ji Ruoxue, Luo Yaqin, and the other female evolvers beside Fei Na all moved their index fingers.
Immediately, he picked up a piece of the so-called crystal yam and placed it in his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, a unique sense of tenderness filled it.
They chewed it, but it was crisp and delicious. It carried traces of the unique sweetness of yams, causing the female evolvers to praise it for being too delicious.
Women’s interest in vegetables was generally higher than that of meat before and after evolution. Of course, this was only a general trend, and there were no fewer women who liked meat.
As for men, regardless of whether it was before or after evolution, their interest in meat was far greater than any other kind of thing. Most men could be described as having no flesh and no joy.
If Ji Ruoxue was a vegetarian woman, then Fei Na was naturally a carnivorous woman.
Right now, she is picking up a piece of beef from the cold plate of Xiangxiang beef and introducing it, “Everyone, come …! Try the flavor of our mutated beef with Huxiang characteristics.”
During the introductions, Fei Na himself was tempted to swallow his saliva by the strong fragrance of meat. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t wait to eat.
Evidently, in front of the delicious food, the level of the evolver was useless, and the food was still the food.
However, Fei Na’s food still stimulated the appetite of the male evolvers on the table. Everyone responded and turned the table around.
Sitting on it, Lin Tian picked up a piece of Xiangxiang beef and tasted it carefully.
As soon as he finished, the meat fragrance was filled with sauce fragrance. As he chewed carefully, the chewing power of the mutated beef, the mixed flavor of the seasoning, and the unique spicy flavor of the Hunan region caused his entire taste buds to boil.
“Hiss …!”
Lin Tian couldn’t help but take a deep breath and exclaim, “Wow! This is so satisfying! This is definitely the best beef I’ve ever eaten!”
