A Bite of Douluo Continent

It seems I'll have to stay in Shrek City for a while longer.

Mu Liufeng, who originally planned to come here to discuss with the Food Association to reach a consensus, and then taste all the new dishes of Hanshi Festival to satisfy his cravings before leaving, suddenly had a new idea.

These dozen or so unusual-sounding breakfast options alone, especially the tofu pudding that caused such a ruckus among diners, were enough to entice him. Not to mention the 361 different kinds of grilled skewers Tang Zi mentioned, along with various kinds of golden fried chicken, delicious beer, and shrimp in different flavors…

What's the point of even leaving now?

Mu Liufeng suddenly realized that with all this delicious food, he probably wouldn't be able to leave in less than ten days.

For a moment, he couldn't help but cast a resentful glance at the sign for the Cold Food Festival.

I wonder if my wife and children will have a problem with me staying so long before going back.

Chapter 413 Four People Sharing a Pot (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)

When you're waiting alone, time seems to fly by, but when you're chatting with other people, time seems to pass much faster.

While chatting with Tang Zi and Zhou Long, Mu Liufeng suddenly noticed that the door of the cold food shop had been opened.

Lunch service has begun.

"Brother Mu, let's sit together later." Tang Zi, who had traveled to various parts of the Tang Clan across the continent for many years, got along quite well with the knowledgeable Mu Liufeng. Now that it was their turn to enter, he spoke up with some lingering interest.

“Okay.” Compared to eating alone, dining with these two Tang Clan disciples he had just met was obviously a much better idea, so Mu Liufeng readily agreed.

Soon, the three of them sat down at the dining table and each opened the menu in front of them to take a look.

"Wow!" Tang Zi exclaimed first, "There are four new purple-label dishes, and two other new dishes as well!"

The unconscious sound caused a momentary pause in the atmosphere of the Hanshi dining area, and soon the sound of menus being flipped through echoed throughout the area.

Some diners who hadn't yet discovered the new dishes started excitedly searching for them after Tang Zi reminded them.

Soon, hushed discussions broke out in the dining area.

"Brother Tang, are these six new dishes just served today?" Having been away for two months, Mu Liufeng hadn't fully grasped the situation and couldn't help but ask.

“Yes, it wasn’t here yesterday.” Tang Zi chuckled. “Brother Mu, you’ve come at just the right time.”

Mu Liufeng smiled and nodded, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

Just as I arrived, they had some new dishes, so I thought I'd give them a try.

Tang Zi excitedly looked at the dishes on the menu, and after a quick glance, her eyes quickly settled on the Jixi One-Pot Dish.

The reason is simple: this dish costs two thousand gold soul coins, making it the most expensive of all the new dishes.

Upon opening the detailed product page and seeing the picture of Jixi Yipin Hot Pot, Tang Zi couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

This was the first time that the Cold Food Festival had such a large-scale food event. Just looking at the picture of that huge pot full of various delicacies, Tang Zi couldn't help but swallow.

I really want to eat it!

However, after looking at the suggestion that it should be served to four to eight people, and considering that the total portion of Jixi Yipin Hot Pot was equivalent to ten small portions of fried rice, Tang Zi felt a bit annoyed when she looked at the three people sitting next to her.

She could eat three small portions of fried rice with egg, and Zhou Long could also eat three portions, as for Mu Liufeng…

"Brother Mu, how's your appetite?"

"Me?" Mu Liufeng didn't quite understand why Tang Zi asked this, but still answered, "A small portion of fried rice is about right."

That makes seven small portions of egg fried rice...

Three servings are still needed…

Tang Zi looked around, then her eyes lit up. "Tai'an, come here!"

A muscular young man wearing a yellow Tang Clan disciple's robe with black stripes walked over somewhat reluctantly upon hearing Tang Zi's voice. "What's wrong?"

"No manners at all! Call him 'Uncle-Master'!" Tang Zi glared at him, and the young man's face darkened even more. He reluctantly muttered, "Uncle-Master."

The visitor was named Tai'an, the eldest grandson of Tai Lei. Tang Zi was Tai Lei's senior brother's disciple. According to seniority, Tai'an should indeed call him "Uncle-Master". However, the two were about the same age, so Tai'an was never happy about it. He would deliberately walk around Tang Zi every time in order not to call him that. But obviously, he couldn't avoid him this time, so he had to accept his bad luck.

"Hey!" Tang Zi chuckled. "I remember you can eat three small portions of fried rice, right?"

"Almost there, what's wrong?"

"Hey, hey, hey." Tang Zi waved to Zhou Long and Mu Liufeng, who were looking down at the menu, and decisively suggested, "How about we all have a Jixi hot pot together?"

"Oh?" Mu Liufeng blinked. "Wait a minute, let me see what this dish is first."

He had just been looking at Peking duck, but now he casually flipped to the introduction of Jixi Yipin Hot Pot and started reading.

Meanwhile, Zhou Long chuckled and said, "That explains why you suddenly asked about appetite. With Xiao An included, it's just the right amount. We can definitely eat together in one pot. I have no objection."

Looking at the menu in his hand, he had just turned to this page, and was obviously looking at the Jixi Yipin Hot Pot.

Only Tai'an looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"Sit down first." Tang Zi pulled Tai An over and made him sit down next to her, handing him the menu that was already open.

“Look at this, this…” he muttered to Tai’an.

Tai'an's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally he nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

This Jixi Yipin Hot Pot looks incredibly delicious, with large chunks of pork belly and various other delicacies piled on top. A whole pot of it is definitely enough to eat.

Wonderful! I never expected that the Cold Food Festival would have such dishes.

Meanwhile, Mu Liufeng closed the menu with a smile, saying, "I have no objections either."

He had just taken a look and found the Jixi Yipin Hot Pot quite interesting. He wondered what it would taste like to have such a large pot of various foods stewed together, but since Boss Qi was willing to promote it, the taste must not disappoint him, which made him quite looking forward to it.

Anyway, I'm going to try all the food I haven't eaten before here, the order doesn't matter. This Jixi Yipin Hot Pot requires sharing a pot with other diners, and right now we have enough people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For someone from out of town like him, finding a place to share a pot isn't easy.

"But... how are we going to pay for this meal?" Mu Liufeng raised an eyebrow.

Looking at the robust physiques of the other three, there was no doubt that they could eat a lot. If the food was divided among the four of them, he, with his small appetite, would be at a disadvantage.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, we won't take advantage of you." Tang Zi chuckled, clearly already having a plan. "If you eat less, we'll give you two hundred gold soul coins; if the three of us eat more, we'll give you six hundred, how about it?"

This way, the food is basically distributed according to each person's appetite, which is very fair.

"Okay!" Mu Liufeng also had no objection to this distribution method.

The four of them then summoned Fuya and began ordering food.

With this Jixi Yipin Hot Pot, there's no need for other dishes; this one pot alone is enough to feed four people.

Soon, amidst everyone's anticipation, Fuya carefully carried out a large pot.

Fuya was much smaller than Qi Han, and the visual impact of her carrying the pot was far greater than that of Qi Han carrying it.

As soon as it appeared, several gasps of surprise filled the dining area.

As a four-ring Soul Master, Fuya, though not a strength type, could still lift a pot without any problem. Soon, she steadily placed the Jixi First-Class Pot in the very center of the four-person table.

As soon as the Jixi Yipin Hot Pot was placed on the table, a rich aroma instantly filled the entire dining area. At the same time, the primordial energy of heaven and earth rapidly gathered, revealing a magnificent phenomenon above the pot that resembled a great sun rising slowly, before quietly dissipating.

Only after the strange phenomenon dissipated did Gulu jump onto the table with four bowls stacked on top of each other.

Fuya took the bowl and placed it in front of the four people, then said softly, "Jixi First-Class Hot Pot, please enjoy."

"Ok."

Looking at the Jixi Yipin Hot Pot in front of them, the four of them silently swallowed their saliva.

Although I was mentally prepared, the sight of such a delicious pot of food in front of me was still incredibly tempting.

Chapter 414 The Soul of the Hot Pot

"Wow! Such a big pot?" Terry's eyes widened as he watched his nephew and grandson devour the food from the large pot not far away, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He glanced at the other three branch leaders sitting in front of him and couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we have one to try too?"

“It’s possible, but we can’t possibly eat that much, can we?” Yu Hua raised an eyebrow and said.

Tai Lei and Niu Yue had large appetites; the two of them could easily eat six servings of fried rice together. However, Zhao Yunsheng and I could only eat one serving each, so it wasn't quite enough.

"How about... we call another disciple?" Niu Yue couldn't help but ask, he was also getting a little craving for that big pot of delicious food.

“That is indeed true…” Zhao Yunsheng was about to agree when he was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"No need, just add the two of us old guys." Tang Qianqiu, who was sitting at the next table, said with a smile, "I just asked Fuya, and this table can be put together, so the six of us can share a pot."

Across from Tang Qianqiu, Qi Poxiao nodded and smiled reservedly. The two of them had just been discussing Jixi Yipin Hot Pot.

The two Limit Douluo also wanted to try it, but the Jixi First-Class Pot was quite large, and neither of them had a big appetite. They had no other choice. Just as they were in a dilemma, they overheard the voice transmission of the four branch masters of the Tang Sect. So, the pot-sharing party was here.

Ah this...

With the sect leader speaking up, the four branch leaders naturally had no objections. With Fuya's help, they quickly put the two tables together and then ordered a Jixi-style hot pot.

Seeing that he could finally enjoy this hot pot, Terry beamed with joy, but his smile quickly faded.

"My dear grand-nephew, Tyre, I feel a strong sense of familiarity looking at you." Qi Po-xiao sat down beside Tyre and patted him on the shoulder. "Back in the day, when I held you, you even peed all over my hand..."

Thales: "..."

孽 孽!

...

Not far from where the branch leaders of the Tang Clan sat, several elderly men and women were sitting together. These were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. When they saw their pavilion master sitting at the same table with the branch leaders of the Tang Clan, they looked at each other, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Fortunately, they don't need to worry about not being able to eat.

"Xuan Ye, how about we order a pot of this Jixi specialty hot pot? With you here, we're sure we can finish it," an elder said with a smile, but then his expression froze. "Hey, hey, where are you going?"

"I'm planning to order a pot myself." Xuan Ye silently got up and sat alone at another table. "You guys are disturbing my cooking."

The elders: "..."

...

"Aww!" Tang Zi tossed a large piece of pork belly into her mouth with her chopsticks, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on her face.

This pork belly is half lean and half fat, made from the lower part of a rare pig. So the fat and lean are mixed, making it both fatty and lean, and not greasy.
