Chapter 198 Covered with Pure and Perfect Ingredients (4K)

The overlapping aroma of food, centered around the stall, penetrated into the noses of the people around.

Meng Yulu only vaguely saw a huge, ferocious and terrifying dragon beast wreaking havoc on the vast land.

dong dong dong…

The entire Cat Island echoed with the roar of the dragon beast’s footsteps.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

“No, this is an illusion and a fantasy!” Meng Yulu shook her head slightly, breaking free from the magical breath that was like a dream, and then looked at the stall where the cats were gathered, her face becoming unusually solemn.

“What level of ingredients does he use in his cat food recipe?”

Meng Yulu whispered to herself, her voice so low it was almost suffocating.

With her top-notch cooking skills, which were just one step away from entering the pseudo-Lin realm, she could vaguely recognize the specifications and grades of fantasy ingredients from their scent.

“Is it the dragon beast in the food fantasy just now?” Meng Yulu suddenly thought of something, a hint of joy flashed across her face, and she quickly lowered her head to open the food illustration box of the igo application.

Search for the keyword [dragon beast].

But she went through every illustrated page and image of the dragon beast carefully from beginning to end.

Meng Yulu was extremely disappointed.

She didn’t find any dragon beast that matched the one she saw in the gourmet fantasy!

At this time, the old man from the Lu family next to him exclaimed: “It’s actually ingredients of this level.”

Meng Yulu looked over and asked, “Mr. Lu, have you identified the dragon beast? I didn’t find any relevant information in the igo atlas library.”

The old man from the Lu family said in a slightly awkward tone:

“I don’t know the information about that unknown dragon beast either.”

As he spoke, the old man from the Lu family suddenly became serious, “But one thing is certain!”

“The captured dragon beast’s level will not be lower than level 50 [Master Level]!”

W-what?
Meng Yulu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief: “Level 50 [Master Grade] ingredients, this is Zhenlin’s private reserve!”

“If you haven’t reached the realm of Zhenlin cooking, don’t even think about getting involved!”

The old man from the Lu family looked a little dazed. After a while, he shook his head and said, “My judgment of the ingredients is not wrong.”

“As for why he can do it, if you have eaten his cat food, you will know part of the reason.”

Meng Yulu looked at the crowded and frantic crowd around her, frowned and murmured:

“If we queue normally, I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat it.”

……

At the stall, Sun Xiang, who was in charge of collecting money, was almost cramping in his hands.

“Ding–“

“Ding–“

One by one, [Cat God Coins] fell into the metal coin jar.

At the same time, in the stall dining area, every plate was licked clean by the cat customers, leaving not a drop of juice or a grain of rice behind.

“Meow~”

There was a big fat orange cat that stayed on a small stool after eating, licking its paws comfortably and contentedly.

But suddenly, a calico cat with a cursing, ferocious look jumped up and waved its big claws towards Fat Orange.

The two cats fought for a while, but the fat orange cat was full and didn’t want to get entangled anymore, so he ran away.

“This evil cat.”

Xia An found it funny and brought the plate to the cat. The cat kept cursing as it ate.

“Master, this pot of cat rice is sold out!” Xiaolin Longdan reported.

“Then you clean it up and I’ll cook the second pot right away.”

The two exchange places.

Xia An came to the stove again.

Kobayashi Ryodan took off his heat-insulating gloves and started to collect the plates used by the cat customers, stacking them up and placing them in the makeshift tent.

Not long after, the second pot of cat rice was freshly cooked.

But in less than ten minutes, it was eaten up by the cat customers.

With this rhythm, pots of cat rice and groups of cat customers seemed to form a buffet.

however!
Among the human customers standing and waiting in the middle and outer areas outside the stalls, only about one out of ten lost patience and left.

While the customer churn rate is extremely low, the number of people who come to join in the fun continues to grow. Then, when these people smell the perfect and pure aroma of the food, they decide to settle down in this place and refuse to leave no matter what.

Gradually, the time came to midnight.

clang–

With the ringing of a bell at the Cat God Shrine on the mountain, the first day of the festival ended.

But at the festival cross street, there was still a food stall surrounded by crowds.

In fact, as early as an hour ago, the thousand ingredients Xia An prepared for the first day of the festival had all been steamed into cat meals and sold out, in exchange for a total of one thousand Cat God Coins.

“The bells are ringing?”

“Ah, is this the end?”

People woke up as if from a dream and looked at Xia An, Xiaolin Longdan and the Sun sisters who were packing their things.

Everyone started to panic.

“Why are we entertaining those evil cats? Where is our meal?”

“Boss, if you don’t cook until dawn today and entertain us human diners, you can’t leave!”

“That’s right——”

“Don’t blame us for being hooligans and blocking the road!”

“I’m not being a hooligan. To eat food of that quality, it doesn’t matter if I become a hooligan!”

The crowd started to shout and make a lot of noise, and it seemed like they were getting louder and louder.

Xia An shook his head helplessly and could only come forward to appease the crowd: “I know everyone is anxious, and I can understand your mood of enjoying delicious food.”

“I’ll prepare more ingredients tomorrow.”

“It will definitely be two or three times the amount we entertain today, so don’t worry!”

It took quite a lot of talking, and my mouth was dry, but I finally managed to appease the crowd.

Xia An packed up the kitchen utensils and other items and was about to leave.

Then I saw Dong Ye Gang walking over with a shrine maiden.

“Boss Xia, we don’t have to leave the island tonight. We can stay at the shrine.”

Higashino Tsuyoshi pointed at the shrine maiden and introduced her, “This Tachibana shrine maiden is the chief priestess of the Cat God Grand Shrine.”

The witch wore a cat mask on her face, revealing only her fair and perfectly curved chin. She said in a very gentle voice, “Chef Xia An, you are today’s sales champion.”

“In fact, the top three sales per day can choose to stay at the shrine.”

“We have a kitchen here, a private house, and divine servants.”

Sun Zheng supported Grandma Sun as they came over from the cat cafe.

Grandma Sun said with a smile: “It just so happens that Ah Zheng, Ah Xiang and I have also chosen to stay on Cat Island.”

Xia An was surprised and asked, “You can also stay on the island?”

Granny Sun explained, “In fact, my sixth disciple, Sun Ning, was the winner of the first Cat Island Festival. Later, she became the ‘candidate goddess’ of the Cat God Shrine.”

“And our lineage, those who are related to us, are allowed to open houses, fields, shops and other businesses on Cat Island.”

Hearing this, Xia An suddenly realized something.

He asked where the infrastructure on the island came from.

So it was the Sun family who made the contribution?

What about Higashino Tsuyoshi?
Xia An’s eyes turned to Higashino Tsuyoshi.

Sensing the strangeness in his eyes, Tono Tsuyoshi’s mouth twitched: “I am the second champion, but because of my gender, I cannot become the ‘candidate goddess’.”

“There is no such thing as a ‘candidate Son of God’?”

“No.”

While leading Xia An and others up the mountain to the shrine, Dong Ye Gang said helplessly: “But the cat god gave me compensation and allowed me to choose a cat god item.”

Xia An hesitated to speak.

There is a sentence that, if asked on this Cat Island, would seem low in EQ and very offensive.

What he wanted to ask was, is that Lord Cat God really a cat?
Then…

No wonder Xia An had wrong thoughts.

After all, if these wild gods of Neon were placed in the strange stories of China, they would just be monsters that steal the incense from the human world.

But Cat Island is indeed the intersection of the food world and the Blue Star world. It is not quite right to analyze it with existing thinking and worldview.

“In short, get the only spot, meet the Lord Cat God, and then go to the connected food world through the coordinates.”

“Everything will come to light.”

Arrived at the shrine on the mountain.

As luck would have it, they ran into two other groups of people who were qualified to stay overnight at the shrine.

A group of people, consisting of two men in suits.

The other group was led by Sun Yun, and behind her stood two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.

Sun Yun didn’t talk to them, as if he didn’t know them. He turned around coldly and led the team away.

The leader of the two men in suits, however, cast a slightly crazy yet suppressed look at him: “Haha, I didn’t expect you to be able to get this far in such a short time.”

He obviously knew Xia An, and also knew Xia An, the shining reappearance of the contemporary world.

But Xia An didn’t know him.

“Who is your Excellency?”

The man in the suit with a crazy temperament did not answer and turned away.

The words echoed for a long time in the torii gate of the shrine in the night: “Only after you have won the quota will you be qualified to know.”

Xia An: ? ?

This is a weirdo with excessive self-confidence.

“Chef Xia An, this is your courtyard.”

The Tachibana shrine maiden wearing a cat mask brought the person here and then left quietly.

“I live in a villa in the back hills.”

Higashino Tsuyoshi said with a smile.

Xia An knew that it was not surprising for Higashino Tsuyoshi, as the second champion of the Cat Island Festival, to build luxury houses and other industries on the island.

“Who were those two people just now?” He was more curious about the origins of the two men in suits.

Especially the leader.

“One group of people comes from the neo food utopia, and where else can the other group come from? The food club.” Higashino Tsuyoshi said calmly.

“The leader, codenamed ‘Dr. K’, is the director of the Food Development Department of the Gourmet Club.”

“This person is extreme and crazy. He may have already targeted you.”

Xia An turned his head and glanced at Dong Yegang who looked fearful, frowned slightly and said: “This is the Cat Island Festival, the victory depends on the number of stalls and the most ‘Cat God Coins’. How can he target me?”

Dong Ye Gang shook his head: “The Gourmet Club is a secret organization after all.”

“Never underestimate these secret organizations. They have many outrageous methods!”

Many means?
Can’t defend?

A faint smile appeared on Xia An’s lips.

At worst, all the ingredients prepared for the Cat Island Festival can be moved to the volcanic island for processing.

He didn’t believe that the Food Club could come up with any other tricks.

Let the two sisters Xiaolin Longdan and Sun Xiang and Sun Ying go to rest and recover their energy for opening the stall tomorrow.

Xia An locked the kitchen door tightly, took a step inside the house, and disappeared into thin air.

The main hall of Cat God Taisha Shrine.

“Meow?”

On the platform in front of the hall where the offering box is located.

A pure white cat that was lying lazily with its eyes closed suddenly opened its strange eyes and looked towards the courtyard halfway up the mountain where Xia An and his group were staying, its eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The tail was shaking, and several shadows appeared vaguely.

After a moment, the suspicion in the eyes of the heterochromatic white cat not only did not decrease, but became even more intense.

“Disappeared? Not in this world?”

“Interesting human beings.”

With a sigh, the white cat was able to suppress its strong curiosity. It closed its eyes and continued to lie there lazily, as if it didn’t want to move at all.

……

The world of food, the volcanic island.

As Xia An came over, a chalk bird that was having fun somewhere sensed his presence, chirped happily and flew over, landing in front of the gate of the coastal base.

“Want to drink? Okay, okay.”

As the white bird nudged him and begged him, Xia An took out a bottle of gin that he had prepared and stored away, unscrewed the cap and threw it to the white bird that was singing happily.

Without the disturbance of the chalk bird, Xia An pushed the door and walked into the base, spread a layer of film on the ground, and then impatiently called out the Kitchen God panel.

[I am already in the mode of losing money and becoming a chef god. 】

[Goal ① Completed (Selling over 100 servings of ‘Perfect Palace Edition Cat Rice’ at the daily festival)]

[Goal ② has been completed (more than 1,000 servings of ‘Perfect Palace Edition Cat Rice’ sold at the daily festival stall)]

receive!

Accompanied by thought operation.

On the floor film, several small hills of food piled up smoothly.

Xia An glanced over, his heartbeat quickened slightly:
“Flying squid meat, dragon beast meat, dragon beast liver, dragon beast heart, blissful rice.”

Just by visual estimation, the net weight of these ingredients was twice the total amount of ingredients he consumed to prepare a thousand servings of cat rice on the first day of the festival.

To confirm a possibility.

Xia An randomly pulled the information panel of one of the ingredients.

……

[Ingredients: “Pure dragon beast meat with blood and tendons removed” (100%)]

[Grade: Master Grade (55 Capture Level)]

[Processing score: 100]

[The delicious dragon beast meat has been processed and purified by the Tanlang Pot (fake), removing the filth, breaking the tendons and textures of the meat, leaving only the soft and tender taste…]

……

“The panel is so honest. It was originally nearly perfect, with a processing degree of 99%. Now it has been restored to 100% absolute perfection?”

Xia An couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

It took him a long time to read through the information panels of these pure ingredients one by one.

These mountains of food in front of you will be returned double.

Target ② will be returned tenfold…

Get it for me!

boom–

The kitchen space at the coastal base is packed full.

“Urgent, what does it feel like when your entire body is covered in 100% absolutely pure and perfect ingredients?”

Xia An grinned and went to pack up one mountain after another.

That was his job for the night.

Pack up and carry outside.

Then it will be transported to the stalls by cart tomorrow.

“Double the thousand servings of ingredients, that’s two thousand servings.”

“And ten times that is 10,000 copies. I’ll take it easy and sell 5,000 copies tomorrow, and then sell off all the stock on the last day of the festival.”

After a long time, Xia An finished packing, found the [Tanlang Pot] placed in the corner, and wiped and maintained it carefully.

This replica inlaid with two fragments of the real thing is the key weapon for him to cheat in the Cat Island Festival this time.

Perhaps Lu Lao and Meng Yulu would guess some of the reasons why Xia An’s stall’s sales skyrocketed.

But they would never have thought that Xia An, with the help of the volcanic island in the food world, drove the Cretaceous Bird to kill a dragon beast, and then sacrificed the whole dragon beast’s ingredients to the [Greedy Wolf Pot], thus making a batch of perfect ingredients…

[Tanlang Pot] The burden of failing to process high-quality ingredients, or the cost and price of processing, is simply beyond the reach of an individual!

The night passed.

The next day, Cat Island became bustling and lively in the morning.

Starting from the second day, the festival food stalls will be open around the clock and will not close until midnight.

“Boss Xia is setting up a stall…”

When Xia An, Xiaolin Longdan, Sun Xiang, Sun Ying and their group, each pushing a cart loaded with food, came near the stall, the people and cats waiting there suddenly became agitated.
