A Bite of Douluo Continent

Why…

It smells a bit good?

He chewed it a couple more times...

It smells even better now?

Because of Dan's exceptionally keen sense of smell, he was able to clearly distinguish the fragrance hidden within the stench. The fragrance was so enticing that it instantly made Dan feel comfortable all over.

As Dan continued to chew, the aroma grew stronger, completely masking the stench, and his expression gradually changed from initial pain and ferocity to relaxation and pleasure.

"Hahaha!" Pad, who had been watching Dane intently, relaxed upon seeing this and couldn't help but laugh. "How does it taste?"

After chewing the black ball in his mouth, Dan reluctantly swallowed it, smacked his lips, savoring the wonderful taste that still lingered between his lips and teeth, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It's so fragrant!"

"Young man, I'll have a Black Crow Dumpling too!" Dan waved at Ye Lingqing, then glared at Paid. "Your treat!"

“No problem!” Pad chuckled, feeling a great sense of accomplishment for successfully leading Dane into the trap.

Daen's other portion of Mowu Dumplings was served by Ye Lingqing not long afterward.

It's strange, but when I first smelled this scent, I thought it was particularly smelly. But now, when I open my nostrils and take a deep breath, it smells wonderful.

It was a faint fragrance that should have been masked by the stench, but to Dan's sense of smell, it seemed to be many times stronger than the stench.

Why is it like this when they are clearly the same Mo Wu group?

Dann couldn't understand... oh no, he couldn't figure it out.

Faced with this new Mo Wu Tuan, Dan picked up his chopsticks and began to taste it without much hesitation.

As Dane was enjoying his Mowu dumplings, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

Mowutuan and Exploding Fatty Intestines are similar in that they smell strange but taste delicious.

Is it possible that the person craving the juicy pork intestines might also like it?

The moment the idea came to mind, Dan shuddered.

No, I need to eat a piece of black glutinous rice ball to calm my nerves.

As he savored the taste of the black glutinous rice ball, Dane silently told himself.

impossible!

Exploding, juicy pork intestines are always a heretical practice!

I am Dan!

Even if I starve to death, die by accident here, die of poverty, or be beaten to death, I would never eat a bite of juicy fatty intestines!

Chapter 298 Witnessing the Moment of a Lucky Player

Dan and Pad were among the first diners to enter the Cold Food Festival and were also the first to finish eating and leave.

Therefore, the two of them were among the first customers to come to Ye Lingqing's stall.

For Ye Lingqing, the greatest joy comes from the recognition of others for the food she cooks.

And this joy is far from over.

Following Dan and Pad, many other diners of Hanshi, out of curiosity or simply because they happened to be passing by, came here following the map's directions, wanting to try this peculiar delicacy that is said to be somewhat similar to bursting fatty intestines.

After all, this was the first time Qi Han had recommended other foods, so everyone was very accommodating.

While Dan and Pad were enjoying their Mowu dumplings, others arrived one after another. The stench from the stall had not yet dissipated, and the diners who came here soon showed strange expressions because of the strange smell.

If it weren't for Qi Han's recommendation, everyone would probably have turned around and left.

Where can you find food that smells so bad?

However, since Qi Han had already given everyone a heads-up, although the crowd looked strange and somewhat conflicted, they still chose to stay and see what happened.

And the way Dane and Pad looked on with enjoyment became the best advertisement.

Seeing that the two of them ate the smelly food with great relish, the others, curious, naturally wanted to try it as well.

As more and more people walked through the food street and entered a hidden alley, this previously unnoticed alley entrance gradually attracted the attention of diners in the food street.

What were they all doing in that secluded alley?

Many curious diners, having nothing better to do, decided to follow them inside.

As soon as they entered, they were hit by a stench that made them want to cover their noses and leave immediately. However, the sight of many people queuing up aroused their curiosity, so they had no choice but to stay and ask what was going on despite the stench.

But once they've smelled the stench of the Ink Crows for too long, they start to get hooked and can't stop.

For these multiple reasons, Ye Lingqing's business became exceptionally popular. Soon, the queue stretched from the alleyway to the entrance, creating a positive cycle that attracted even more curious diners to line up.

After finally mustering the courage to try the Mowu Tuan, every diner couldn't help but be captivated by it and glad they hadn't turned away because of its peculiar stench.

It's amazing that there really are such delicious foods in this world that smell bad but taste good.

...

"Senior Sister!" Yu Lianxin nodded with a smile in response to Fuya's greeting.

Fuya and Yu Lianxin, who were not familiar with each other before, became much closer after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

As Yu Lianxin took her seat, Fuya picked up the menu. "Senior Sister, what would you like to eat today?"

"Hmm..." Casually flipping through the menu's table of contents, Yu Lianxin fell into a dilemma.

There are actually only a few dishes to choose from.

On the first day of the new dishes' launch, of course, we had to choose from the eight new dishes, and the other dishes were temporarily excluded.

At noon, Yu Lianxin had already tasted the chopped chili fish head and the wontons, so these two dishes were naturally temporarily ruled out.

So, all that's left are the Six Paths.

Soon, Yu Lianxin had an idea.

"One serving of Wensi Tofu, one serving of Longjing Shrimp, and another serving of Bodhi Jade Vegetarian Dish."

After noting down Yu Lianxin's order, Fuya skillfully turned around and went back into the kitchen, handing the order to Qi Han.

While waiting for the delicious dishes to arrive, Yu Lianxin carefully looked at the description of Wensi Tofu on the menu.

So... how many times do I need to eat it to trigger the special effect of Wensi Tofu?

Yu Lianxin chose Longjing Shrimp and Bodhi Jade Vegetarian Dish mainly because the pictures of these two dishes on the menu were so tempting that they made her mouth water and she couldn't wait to enjoy them.

But she was also quite envious of the true essence of power that could only be comprehended by the dish Wensi Tofu—Refining Power Like Silk—which only had a 20% chance of being understood.

Who wouldn't want a stable 20% increase in strength?

Although Yu Lianxin has a great love for food, as the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, improving her own strength is also something she is concerned about.

Now, you can have both!

Is there anything better than this?

Yu Lianxin had already made up her mind.

From today onwards, I'm going to be stuck with this Wensi Tofu.

If you don't comprehend the principle of refining your power like silk, you'll have to eat every meal!

Hmm... I wonder if my little purse can hold up.

Thinking of this, Yu Lianxin's face fell.

I hope I'll be a bit luckier.

after all…

My skin is so fair, right?

Looking at her fair, snow-white wrist peeking out from her sleeve, Yu Lianxin revealed a smug smile.

The newly launched menu for the Cold Food Festival features extremely detailed descriptions and pictures for each dish, including the selection of ingredients, the general cooking method, and the taste.

In addition, each three-star recipe and a few two-star ingredients with special effects have separate labels and descriptions that specifically introduce their special effects.

The special effects of a few two-star dishes are actually greatly diminished.

Whether it's accelerating the cultivation of Dongpo Pork Knuckle or increasing spiritual power with Poetry and Etiquette Ginkgo, neither can compare to the special effects of three-star dishes; they are only mentioned briefly on the menu.

But the dishes served in Samsung are completely different.

This is the first time that the special effects of the three-star recipes have been fully revealed for the Cold Food Festival, and the special effects of each dish look amazing.

For example, the dish "fish belly stuffed with lamb" had its effects guessed long ago, but due to some selfishness and uncertainty, not many people chose to make it public, and even now there are still diners who are completely unaware of it.

But now it's different. The menu clearly states in black and white that after eating the fish with the sheep hidden inside, you will be guaranteed to enter a deep meditation for 24 hours during your next training session. Any diner can clearly understand this.

Not only is mutton hidden inside fish, but boiled cabbage and braised pork belly from the Qing Dynasty also face this problem.

The dish "fish belly stuffed with mutton" is something that anyone who has eaten it can understand its specific effects. However, even if you have eaten "boiled cabbage in clear broth" and "Qing Dynasty Imperial Braised Pork," you still can't guess what their special effects are.

For example, boiled cabbage in clear broth can only be confirmed to improve one's cultivation aptitude after tasting it, but the specific amount of improvement is unknown.

But now it's different; the menu clearly states its special effects.

The same goes for the Qing Dynasty's Wanfu Meat. In the past, diners could only guess that this dish had healing effects, but now everyone knows that the effect of this dish is not just simple healing, but the legendary cure of chronic illnesses.

The two are not equivalent at all.

The two newly introduced three-star dishes also have amazing special effects, which are unprecedented for diners and give them a sense of novelty.

For this reason, on the first day the menu was launched, sales of all three-star dishes more than tripled, and the two newly launched dishes sold dozens of servings in a single business day.

"Wensi Tofu, please enjoy."

With a smile on his face, Qi Han carefully placed the Wensi Tofu in front of Yu Lianxin.

Yu Lianxin nodded politely, then her attention was completely drawn to the Wensi Tofu placed in front of her.

So... now it's time to prove you're incredibly lucky!
