[Interstellar] King of Food

Li Haoxuan soaked the local chicken in water with salt and rice wine to taste, then put it in a pot and boiled it with ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and salt, cut it into pieces, and poured a layer of hot chili oil. The spicy smell of the chicken and the meaty aroma of the chicken mixed into a very tempting smell, which made the chef next to Li Haoxuan turn his head frequently, and the audience who smelled the fragrance also drool, eager to try it.

After making a plate of spicy chicken nuggets and putting them on the table, Li Haoxuan greeted the audience to try it, while he continued busy making the next plate.It is not an easy goal for any chef to make everyone in the audience eat at least one bite of the dish.

Picking up the kitchen knife, Li Haoxuan suddenly felt his eyes go dark for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe he didn't sleep well or was tired. Now that time is tight, he doesn't allow him to think too much.

"It's so delicious, take a bite, the spicy taste spreads from the tongue to the throat, giving people a special sense of stimulation, numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, the taste is very layered, such a fresh taste It's really wonderful! The chili oil tastes very crispy, without the weird taste of artificial additives, I think I can still eat five plates, no, ten plates!"

"This dish is a bit too spicy. I wanted to stop and drink water, but this dish seems to have a magical power, which makes me want to keep stuffing it in my mouth. It is spicy and fragrant. The people who eat it are Sweating profusely, it’s so strong, it’s really refreshing! The chicken that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside awakens my nerves, it’s a shocking taste!!”

"The soup is rich and mellow, the chicken gravy is delicate and delicious, and the stew is crispy and delicious. After taking a bite, the saliva will not stop secreting, so I, a picky-mouthed person, can't say anything bad. Of course, if there is rice It’s even better if it’s paired with it, it’s sure to go well with it!”

A white-haired old man tremblingly picked up a mouthful of chicken and put it into his mouth, chewed slowly, then suddenly stood there in a daze, tears streaming down his face.

The middle-aged man in a suit standing next to the old man was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Dad, why are you crying?"

The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, touched his cheeks full of age spots that were no longer as smooth as those of young people, felt the moisture on his face, was startled, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I always feel that I just ate It is not a simple dish, but... but those taste civilizations lost in history, would there be the same people ten thousand years ago, those human beings who can be regarded as our ancestors, sitting In a restaurant, order such a dish and chat while eating? I really want to see such a scene..."

The middle-aged man supported him, with a helpless expression on his face: "Please, Dad, are you crazy about studying history? How can we eat dishes from ten thousand years ago? After all, human tastes have changed long ago, okay? good?"

The old man shook his head, lost in thought. Although the middle-aged man complained, his hands were unambiguous, and he firmly held the old man's arm.

"We can see that the audience at the second prince's place is crazy, but no one cares about the dishes at the other contestants. The contrast is really strong. We ask for one bite per person, otherwise there will be not enough ingredients. Come on, Audiences who have finished eating here, please taste the works of other contestants, don't crowd around here~" the host said with a smile.

Some spectators who had to wait for a long time at the back heard what the host said, and hurried to other contestants to try their cooking. Anyway, Li Haoxuan probably won't be able to squeeze in for a while.

In the end, all the audience tasted the contestants' works, and the next step was the voting session. Each audience had eleven colored balls distributed by the program group, and put the balls into the contestants of their favorite dish. In the ballot box in front of the ballot box, the box will be automatically counted, and the one with the highest number of votes will win.

The color of the ball representing Li Haoxuan is rich gold, which is a kind of orange. The youthful theme expressed by this color is just in line with Li Haoxuan's youthful temperament. I wonder if it was selected in advance by the program group.

Li Haoxuan casually looked at the ballot box in front of him. There were more and more balls inside. The audience came one by one and left one by one. His thoughts gradually drifted away, and suddenly he felt that these scenes were not real at all:

who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?

He felt that his whole body had become weightless, and he flew up lightly. At this time, he seemed to be looking down on the entire venue in the sky, and the voice in his ears was dreamlike and somewhat distorted:

"One thousand nine hundred and seventy three votes!!! Great, I have been the host of so many food competitions, and the votes of the contestants in each final are evenly matched. This is the first time this has happened! Let's work together I have witnessed the birth of the miracle of this competition! Then let us shout out the name of the contestant with the highest number of votes!" The host roared, his expression hard to hide his excitement.

The audience consciously sat up from their seats, waved their arms and shouted loudly: "Li Haoxuan!!! Li Haoxuan!!! Li Haoxuan!!!!"

Li Haoxuan?Who is that?

The soul looking down from the sky thought suspiciously, and then saw the body standing behind the box filled with tulip-colored balls fall limply.

The shouts of the people fell silent instantly, and the scattered voices gradually disappeared.

He saw a handsome guy rushing up to the stage, because he was too anxious, he almost tripped over the steps, his hair fell down, and he looked very embarrassed. The man hugged the body, and his soul keenly saw his fingers Unconsciously shaking back and forth, with a ferocious face and tearing eyes, he yelled at the people around him: "Clear the scene!!! Call the doctor!!!"

………………

This time, Li Haoxuan slept peacefully.

He saw his grandfather, a kind and tough old man who loved his little grandson very much.

He looked at Li Haoxuan softly with those eyes that concealed many secrets, and there seemed to be a thousand words that were hard to describe.His gray-white hair is slightly curly, and the hair on his forehead is floating in the air. He is wearing a white chef's uniform, and the hem of his clothes is flying in the air.

Li Haoxuan was a little surprised: "Didn't Grandpa never wear this kind of uniform that he thought was very dull?"

He suddenly understood the danger of this dream: the person in the dream knew it was fake, but he was reluctant to leave the dream, and would rather live in this false joy forever than wake up and face the person in the dream The harsh reality that is long dead.

Li Haoxuan shook his head, got rid of those messy thoughts, and threw himself into the old man's arms with a smile: "Grandpa, I miss you so much!"

The old man grinned and hugged her with kind eyes: "You are such a big man, why are you still so frizzy when you do things?"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, Grandpa, I miss you so much!" Li Haoxuan writhed in his arms, completely relaxed, and in front of his family, Li Haoxuan became that innocent and ignorant child again, Everything is handed over to the old man in front of him who has been walking in front to protect him from the wind and rain.

He gestured to the old man in front of him and talked about the interesting things that happened when he participated in the food competition, then he talked about his brother Li Jiushu, and then he kept talking about the new friends he made.

The old man listened carefully with a smile on his face, nodding from time to time.

Li Haoxuan lay relaxed on the green grass in a "big" shape, smelling the fresh smell of grass leaves, talking non-stop.

It wasn't until the sky became dark that the old man patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaoxuan, it's time to sleep."

Li Haoxuan said coquettishly: "Let's talk for a while, just for a while."

The old man shook his head, and his expression became severe: "If you don't sleep, you won't grow taller. Staying up late is not good for your health. Go to sleep now."

"Okay." Li Haoxuan said dejectedly, "Grandpa, you can't sneak away while I'm sleeping."

"Of course not, I will always be here with you." The old man stroked his furry head and said with a smile.

Li Haoxuan followed behind the old man and walked towards a two-story log cabin behind him.

A good night's sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Haoxuan felt that something was wrong, but he subconsciously ignored those details.Looking at the sleeping old man downstairs, he squatted beside him and woke him up softly: "Grandpa, let's go to the amusement park today, stop chopping vegetables and practice knife skills, okay?"

The old man stood up stiffly, yawned, and rubbed Li Haoxuan's hair sleepily: "If you don't practice for a day, you will be born with your hands, or do you think that you are naturally superior to others, and no matter how long you don't practice, you can keep at the lowest level?" Good level? Of the seven deadly sins of arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust, you have already accounted for the three of arrogance, laziness, and gluttony..."

"Haha" Li Haoxuan scratched his hair, "Grandpa, I'm not angry that you haven't come to see me for so long, and I have talked to you for so long after seeing you, which shows that I still have the two virtues of enthusiasm and tolerance~"

Faced with the sophistry of the young man in front of him, the old man reluctantly compromised: "Okay, okay, let's go to the amusement park first, then eat ice cream, and finally take you to the aquarium, shall we?"

"Okay, okay!" Li Haoxuan smiled happily.

The days passed day by day like this, and every time Li Haoxuan woke up, he would forget something, and in the end, Li Haoxuan even forgot his own name.

When he woke up, he rubbed his eyes tiredly: "Grandpa, where are we going to play today?"

The old man looked at him worriedly: "Xiaoxuan, what happened to you recently? You didn't even know your name yesterday, what's going on?"

The boy rubbed his hair, his eyes were blank: "What Xiaoxuan?"

The old man was silent for a while before he said: "Wash your face and go downstairs, I have something to tell you."

The boy stuck out his tongue unhappily, and after washing, he walked down the stairs slowly, one by one, and sat on a chair in the dining room: "What's the matter, Grandpa?"
