Chapter IX: The Right to Give New Life to the Weak (Part 1)
The moment the spoon was put into his mouth, it felt as if Ye Yu was swallowing a piece of red charcoal raw. But in addition to the spicy food that could only be described as domineering, there were also many flavors such as numbness, freshness, and heavyness in his mouth. The mix of various flavors was enough to make this mapo tofu the best.
"Tasteful!" Even though his face was so spicy that it turned red, and his sweat couldn't stop flowing down. However, none of this could stop Ye Yu from reaching the spoon in front of him for the second time, which made most people avoid the dishes like snakes and scorpions. There was no way that this thing was really delicious.
Ye Yu, who was having fun at this time, did not notice at all. Since the beginning, the entire restaurant has more or less begun to pay attention to his situation. Most of the guests who would come to this Hongzhou Banquet Restaurant are regular customers, and even few of them can control the restaurant's best signature dish, let alone the obvious ingredients in front of Ye Yu.
The sauce made of minced meat mixed with chili and bean paste, and the prepared bone soup is a perfect match with hot tender tofu. With sesame oil made of top-quality chili peppers, even a picky diner cannot blame the slightest omission of this dish... Although it is really too spicy.
Maybe I didn't feel it when I first ate it, but as the dishes on the plate gradually cleared, Ye Yu, who was already sweating profusely, finally realized that his whole mouth seemed to have almost no other feeling except the scorching pain. More importantly,... the memory I remembered when I was eating this dish just now seemed to be completely unrecalculated!
"How is this cover swelling..." he talked to himself habitually, but the sound from his mouth made him unable to help but laugh... It seemed that the dish just now made his lips swollen, so that the voice of his speech turned into a big tongue.
He picked up the ice water on the table and poured it down, and secretly released a healing magic to make himself slightly better. Besides, he didn't want Yan Ye to come over to see his joke later.
"Huh... I feel much better now. Sichuan cuisine of this level is the first time I have encountered it even after so many years." Holding a cup in my hand, Ye Yu stared at the red sauce participating in the plate and sighed with lingering fear. However, since he could get such a big monster's evaluation, I think this restaurant is enough to be proud.
"But maybe this way we can understand why Kirei is particularly fond of this store. I'm afraid it's not just because of the spicy taste, but because the smell is strong enough to make people feel clearly... I'm still alive. For a person who lacks emotions and even has unclear connections between life and death, nothing is better than this. Although it's still a bit too spicy for me..."
I secretly decided to ask the shop owner to put less chili peppers when I came next time. Ye Yu then picked up the chopsticks and started to taste the other dishes. Generally speaking, it was still quite spicy, but I don’t know if it was because I survived the Mapo tofu trial just now, but it felt good at this time. Especially I don’t know what seasoning the shop owner used. Even if it tastes so hot that it can’t stand it, it will only feel warm when it enters the stomach and not much irritation.
Ye Yu alone couldn't help but praise it.
Ye Yu’s speed of eating is generally not fast. According to someone’s usual theory, eating is almost equal to enjoyment. As an extremely important part of life, this process can probably be regarded as a practice... Every foodie thinks it.
But from this, when Yan Ye came as promised, Ye Yu had not finished his dinner yet, and when he saw the bright red meal... the expression on his face was not something that could be described as being surprised.
"Yanye, come and sit down. After dinner, should you eat some together? That boss, add two more dishes." Although Yanye did not eat dinner - mainly because he was not in the mood - he didn't know how to put the things in front of him into his mouth no matter what! Unfortunately, when Ye Yu said the request to add dishes, a poor man had no time to object.
"Uh...I..." Yan Ye wanted to refuse, but when he spoke, he didn't know what to say. He didn't know what Ye Yu wanted to say when he called him out, but what he was even more confused was why he came back to the appointment. Obviously... there was no intersection between them at all.
For this reason, Yan Ye had been hesitating about what to say before coming here, but the reality now is that when he sat here, he realized that the words he had expected were useless at all. Ye Yu just set up such a table of dishes and directly disrupted his position... Should he say that the gap between them was too big?
One is an abandoned son who was abandoned by the family because he had no talent, while the other is a great magician who can be impressed at a young age by relying solely on self-study. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two people are the polarities of the world. Thinking of this way, perhaps Yan Ye's words become easier to understand.
Seeing that Ye Yu was still eating there slowly, Yan Ye thought about it but had to pick up the chopsticks and pick up something that he didn't know what it should be and put it in his mouth. Then the spicy feeling made him cough subconsciously. Then he kept pouring ice water to barely suppress the spicy feeling, but he didn't want to try it again no matter what.
However, just after just this performance, Ye Yu couldn't help but shake his head secretly... After thinking about it, he finally decided to use this as the beginning of the conversation.
"Yan Ye... do you know that you are different from Shichen?" Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two instantly dropped to freezing point, and at the same time, Yan Ye felt that the originally noisy hall was quiet at this moment. It should be a barrier magic... Yan Ye thought so.
Ignoring the other party's thoughts, Ye Yu, who had eaten almost the same food, put the chopsticks on the chopstick stand aside, made a crisp sound, and then he continued to say, "I think if Shichen was sitting opposite me just now, even if he found that the dish was too spicy, he would bite the bullet and swallow the things in his mouth and try his best to maintain his usual elegance. Although I think this kind of face-saving method is really boring, he is at least far stronger than you in terms of toughness, right?"
"Did you ask me to come here to comment on the gap between me and that person?!" As soon as Shi Chen mentioned Shi Chen's anger suddenly controlled Yan Ye's brain, but after a moment the anger disappeared rapidly. Yan Ye sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face and said helplessly, "Yes, I'm just not as good as him, whether it's magic or Aoi... But what's the point of saying these things now..."
"Of course there is, otherwise what should I ask you to do?" The man's embarrassment in front of him made Ye Yu feel more silent. If we use one sentence to describe his evaluation of him, it would probably be "sading his misfortune and angering his not to fight". Yan Ye is a pitiful person... a guy who makes himself pitiful but not worthy of sympathy because of his powerlessness. But even so, he still has a place to play a role, and the key that triggers the switch is...
"Actually, Toshichen... is about to die."
