[Through] Delicious Journey

"Golden match? Golden ratio?" The slightly fatter man next to him immediately said, "No wonder, no wonder, the maximum sensing range of the sugar tree elf is only 500 meters, and now the desserts in the outer city can be sensed, so it is a golden match! "

"Did you make this dessert?" The middle-aged woman stepped forward, turned around on Ying Cui, Fan Mi and Cha Bei, and finally landed on Ying Cui.

Ying Cui nodded, finally suppressed the weirdness in his heart, and looked away from the so-called city lord, "Excuse me, can you tell me what a golden match is?" This reminded him of the famous advertisement saying, " And this one?" Pointing to the Rainbow Bewitching Girl on the plate, he asked knowingly.

The queen bee sap camel milk pudding, which he prepared according to the recipe in the game at that time, is said to be the best ratio to attract the rainbow enchantress. Judging from the reaction of this group of people, it is obviously not aimless.

"The golden ratio is a matching method that can maximize the potential of ingredients." The man in the long coat explained, "The food world itself is a huge recipe. Before humans developed it, there were many natural famous dishes. , such as eight-treasure fried rice and Baishuipu cold noodles, but with the development of hunting areas, many of these famous dishes have disappeared, and there is no trace to be found." Speaking of this, the man shook his head with some regret.

"Later, in order to reproduce these famous dishes, some people began to artificially make them, but the effect was not significant. But in the process, some people found that when the distribution ratio of certain ingredients reaches a certain balance, the ingredients can be presented at their most perfect side, nutrition and The taste is at its peak, this is the golden ratio, and the energy contained in natural dishes is not something ordinary people can bear."

Ying Cui blinked, "Sounds like it's very powerful, I'm just messing with it, I hit it by mistake." It was impossible for him to tell the secret that he knew that this dish was made on purpose, so he could only laugh. .

The chubby man glanced at Ying Cui and seemed to have no doubts. He laughed loudly, "I guess it's the same. The dishes with the golden ratio basically reach the extreme of one of the five flavors. Only monsters can stand it, and normal people can't bear it at all."

Ying Cui was startled, if he hadn't sensed this person's malice, he would have wondered if the other person said those words on purpose.

Those who can open a restaurant in the city are all excellent chefs, with a sense of taste that is beyond ordinary people, and the golden ratio of dishes can't be tolerated by normal people, and they are still made.

When the fat man reminded the others, they all came back to their senses. The middle-aged woman pondered for a while, looked at the dessert that was gnawed by the Rainbow Demon Girl, and asked Ying Cui, "Can you tell me what kind of dessert you use?" Is it the main ingredient?"

After receiving the gazes of several people, Ying Cui said calmly, "Three camel dragon's milk and queen bee sap." There is nothing to hide, the people present are all masters of esophagus, even if they don't tell them, they will know sooner or later.

"They're all high-grade ingredients." A young man said, "One is deep in the wild plain, and the other is deep in the forest of secrets. The difference between the east and the west is so far. It's hard for you to put these two things together."

There are more than tens of millions of ingredients in the world, and there are hundreds of thousands of combinations in them. In terms of probability, the possibility of randomly picking out two ingredients together and making delicious dishes is very low.

"I once got an ancient recipe, and I used it to experiment with new dishes." Ying Cui said, "Our restaurant has reached the qualification to enter the inner city, and our intention is to make this dish a special dish." Shrugging, with With a little helplessness, he said, "This is also the first time I make it, and I haven't even tasted it yet."

Most of the people who entered the Zhonghua Building were the shops on the small three-story building. After the Rainbow Demon Girl flew out, they followed all the way, just to see what kind of food is so attractive.

Although she was not selected by the Rainbow Demon Girl, and it ended in an almost ridiculous ending, although she felt a little aggrieved, she still accepted Ying Cui's words.

After all, people said it was just a fluke, and the wishes of the sugar tree elves were not influenced by them, so they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

"Not good!" The man in the long coat suddenly said, "There is not much time, there is no longer any delay, we must send the elf back to the mother tree as soon as possible."

Only then did everyone realize that there was still one major issue that had not been resolved. The original purpose of the Harvest Festival was to change the season of the cotton candy tree. They spent too much time on letting the elves choose desserts, and they put the cart before the horse.

Under the feet, through the white film, you can vaguely see that the cotton candy below has fallen into pieces, filling up the closed underground trading market, leaving only a large number of vacant branches.

Is this what Yi Nie said about changing seasons?Ying Cui secretly said.

He was amazed when the albuginea rose, but at that time the marshmallows hadn't fallen yet, and what he saw was the same marshmallow land as before. Looking at it now, the sea of ​​flowers showed a kind of " In the "withered" state, except for the mother tree in the center, it looks like a protruding coral rock. It's nothing to have two clusters, and it's a bit scary if there are too many.

Yi Nie knew that it was time for her to appear on stage, so she was a little depressed.

He didn't believe Ying Cui's words. Others didn't know, but he knew very well that the money for buying high-end ingredients still flowed out of his card. The other party had already prepared for this day.

It's just that Ying Cui misestimated the threshold of the competition at that time, so he said that he changed the prize later, but now, why didn't he underestimate Ying Cui's cooking skills?

Let the sugar tree elf fly out from the inner city to look for food, it's a big hit.

on the other hand.

Yi Nie couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seemed that she couldn't hide her identity.

"If there is no objection, he will be the elf envoy of this class." As soon as Yi Nie opened his mouth, he saw the shock on Ying Cui's face as he wished.

Well, he believes that the other party should not be shocked by the identity of "Elf Messenger", that is...

Also nirvana? !Ying Cui stared at the so-called city lord, who had a similar body and an even more similar voice. If there were no people present, he would have blurted out.

Damn, that guy can't be really Yi Nie, can he?What should I do, I really want to rush over and take off the show mask.Ying Cui pinches the villain in her heart.

"Is it too hasty to decide on the elf messenger like this?" Someone asked unwillingly.

That's right, after preparing for nearly a year or even many years, no one wants to see Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway, stealing their limelight.

"Dulu, Dulu." The source of the voice was Rainbow Bewitching Fairy, the pudding on the plate was finally gnawed clean by unremitting efforts, as if he knew the maker of desserts, the little thing flew to Ying Cui, rubbed his face, and lay on his shoulder Next, Humanization yawned and stopped moving.

"Began to fall asleep." It was still a man in a long coat. As a member of the Keleba tribe, who guarded the Rainbow Cotton Candy Sea, his attention was always on the newborn elves, and he immediately uttered when he felt something strange, "The city lord, hurry up!" Send him back, the buds will close after the elf sleeps, and the mother tree will dry up quickly without the elf in it."

The depletion of the mother tree means the failure of changing seasons. This year's marshmallows have not grown, and the white film will not last long. At that time, the entire Karil City will fall into endless crisis.

"Let's leave it to him." Seeing the intimacy of Rainbow Demon Girl's correspondence with Cui Zhan, the others realized that they had no chance, and said dejectedly, "The new elf messenger."

Before Ying Cui could react, she was hugged up.

It's that wicked princess hug again!

"I'll take him there first." Yi Nie left a sentence and disappeared in front of the door with Ying Cui in her arms.

A bunch of people were left looking at each other, "Isn't it enough to just send the elves back?" Although in the past, the store that got the elves sent them back, but now the matter is urgent.

The gate of the Zhonghua Building was blocked by a sea of ​​people. They didn't go inside, but they kept waiting outside for news, "That's the city lord, the city lord has come out."

"Why are you still holding someone?"

"...Look at that person's shoulder, there is a sugar tree elf..."

"So, he is the new elf messenger, oh, I know that person, he is the boss of Zhonghua Building!"

"What the hell happened in there?"

When everyone turned their gazes over, Yi Nie stepped on the roof of the shop in the outer city with Ying Cui in her arms, and quickly ran towards the inner city.

There were too many people on the road, and the sugar tree elves flew out, attracting the attention of most of the city. According to the usual way of walking, it might be difficult to move an inch.

The familiar smell seems to wrap the whole person, the power from the arm hoops should be dazzling, and the cold wind blows from the high altitude, waking up with a jolt.

"Yi Nie?!" Ying Cui raised her head, but the force was too great to stop her, and she hit the man's chin.

"Hmm." Yi Nie staggered, almost fell, and said pitifully, "Money fan, take it easy if you want to retaliate, I still have to go out to meet people with my face."

"It's really you?" Ying Cui stood up and knocked her forehead again.

"..."

The people in the inner city all went to watch the excitement, and there were not many left, and as for those on the third floor, there were even fewer.

All the way was unimpeded, Yi Nie carried Ying Cui directly to the top of the mother tree.

Even though the entire city was lifted into the air by the white film, it was still the highest place in Karil City.

Looking from top to bottom, the high and low houses are well arranged, with the mother tree as the center, distributed in a circle, just like the ripples that spread out after water drops on the lake.

Since the whole city is built on the cotton candy sea, the buildings here cannot lay a foundation, so each house does not exceed three floors. The houses made of various sweets are full of strange things. Looking from a very high place, they look like a huge giant. The dessert factory gives people a strange sense of shock.

"I said, how did you come up with the idea of ​​building a city here?" Ying Cui asked curiously.

"Put it in first." Seeing the buds closing slowly, Yi Nie said anxiously, but the sugar tree elf would not let other people get close after recognizing the master, so she could only be anxious.

Ying Cui knew the importance of the matter, carefully took the little guy off her shoulders, and said, "I'll settle the matter with you later!"

Yi Nie smiled wryly, why did it get involved in this again.

There is a flower on the top of the cotton candy tree, the stem is half a person's height, and it blooms like a lotus, with seven petals and seven colors. The surface is overflowing with light, dazzling, like a rainbow.

"It's so beautiful." Ying Cui was fascinated by the color and admired sincerely.

Under the mother tree, people who came back from the outer city gathered again, and those in the Ying Cui store were the leaders.

"Extraordinary." The young man is the maker of honey pineapple and kiwi rolls, and the owner of one of the twelve shops, Zhuo Zhifei, a famous gourmet hunter, "It's not in vain that I came back from Baiquan this year and was blackmailed by the city lord." A box of crispy rolls, God knows I haven't made that stuff in hundreds of years."

Stores in the Mother Tree enjoy absolute freedom and are not subject to turnover restrictions. There are 4 stores that have not opened for three consecutive months. After all, at their level, money can no longer drive them.

"It's just luck." There was a cold light in the eyes of the man next to him, "It's fine if you take away the elves, but do you still want to become the No.13 store?"

"This is the rule over the years. Just having a title is not worthy of the name, and it is not enough to convince the public." The middle-aged woman shook her head. Her dessert was Neptune Bee Jelly Hot Drink, which was also a dish from an ancient recipe. She thought she would win this year. , but lost to Ying Cui. However, it is not unfair to lose on the basis of the golden ratio.

"Hmph, what I want is that the name is not worthy of the name." The man sneered, if the name was true, what would he replace it with?

Zhuo Zhifei saw Tabor's expression in his eyes, smiled slightly, and turned to the two figures at the top of the mother tree, "That depends on how the city lord decides." What.

[-] meters away.

Ah Mao's five senses were extraordinary, and he saw something strange in the city with sharp eyes, and said in surprise, "Why is the shopkeeper up there?"

Xiaoxin snatched Hawkeye from a hunter next to him, "Really, didn't the boss still worry about this matter a few days ago and found someone to practice his skills? In a blink of an eye..." He smacked his lips, "The action is really fast."

"I'll go, the boss is not such an unprincipled person!" Moore retorted immediately, and he made a telescope out of water and was enjoying himself.

"You know what I said?" Xiaoxin curled her lips, "The boss is not here, it's useless for you to pat the tiger's ass."

Amao raised his forehead, he was the instigator of the topic, why did these two fight first.

The little Rainbow Fairy huddled into a ball and lay in the palm of Ying Cui, exuding a soft and faint light, carefully placed in the stamen, and the seven-colored petals were gently gathered to wrap it inside.

Yi Nie let out a breath, and a big stone fell in her heart, "Okay, it will wake up in three days to find you, and I will take you down first."

"Wait." Ying Cui simply found a place and sat down, "I'll have a look when the scenery is so good." Looking far away, with her head tilted slightly, "It's time to change the seasons."

At the end, the twigs of the cotton candy tree stretched out into the sky, and gradually, new branches appeared on the bare branches, and small buds appeared one by one.

"The season has changed, the season has changed!"

"Haha, new marshmallows are out, another bumper year!"

"It's falling, the isolation film is falling...

The flower buds grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a sea of ​​flowers, and the outer cores flying in the air become dots of fluorescent light falling down, and new cotton wadding is drawn out wherever they go, like a warm wind passing through, and the earth rejuvenates.

In a short while, the place where the city is stationed has grown a solid ball of cotton candy, which is denser, stronger, and has a higher sugar content.

The white film maintained by hundreds of hunters slowly fell and covered the newly grown rainbow marshmallows, becoming an isolation film to protect the foundation. It will rise again when this season of the next year comes.

"ended."

The hunters who supported the operation of the albuginea breathed a sigh of relief, the consumption was too great, and it was time to celebrate.

The fallen rainbow balls of cotton candy are actually gathered in the specially vacated underground trading market. People can collect and use them from the entrance of the market without paying any fees. The only thing to pay attention to is not to take them outside.

Therefore, the Harvest Festival is truly everyone’s Harvest Festival, and many visitors are waiting for this time.

In the Zhonghua Building.

During the time of carnival, things are tense in the shop.

Crowds of people rushed to the underground market, the joy of harvest made people temporarily forget about the little episode in the ceremony, and Yi Nie returned to the store smoothly with Ying Cui.

"Honorable Lord of the City." Ying Cui gritted his teeth, "Now you can take off the mask that obstructs your eyes! And you." Turning to the many shop assistants who pretended to be busy, "Stop pretending, come here and sit down."

A group of people approached like little daughters-in-law, the shop owner was showing his domineering side.

Yi Nie took off the mask and surrendered, "I confess."

Ying Cui gave him a sideways look, "Well, tell me."

Yi Nie lowered her head, "It's all my fault." She has a good attitude of admitting her mistakes.

"Huh?" Ying Cui waited for a long time without saying anything, "So?"

Yi Nie did not speak.

Others watched their hearts and kept silent, and the atmosphere fell into a stalemate.

Chabelle pulled the corner of Ying Cui's clothes, and the child felt something was wrong.

"You have nothing to say?" Ying Cui took a deep breath and suppressed the swearing.Damn, now I'm being tricked by someone, who are you showing that you're not afraid of being scalded like a dead pig?Fuck!

"Okay, very good." Ying Cui grabbed Yi Nie's skirt, "Bastard, you're fired!" After finishing speaking, she didn't go back upstairs.

Yi Nie was dumbfounded, and when she turned her head, she saw a figure going upstairs from behind.

"Uh, the moon is pretty good today." Amao took Xiaoxin to watch the moon.

"The sun is also good." The red hair was dragged away by Moore to bask in the sun.

The rest, Fan Mi pulled Cha Bei, and said seductively, "Brother will show you the candy rain."

In the end, there was only one Lu Cheng, calmly spit out three words, "Look at the shooting star."

"..."

Yi Nie went up to the third floor.

Ying Cui was turning over the dried fish on the roof, and poked a shriveled dried fish and said bitterly, "Okay, have you grown up? I told you to turn it over and you still don't turn it over! No, I really don't want to turn it over, okay? , I’ll fire you tonight.” As he spoke, he flipped the innocent dried fish over to the other side, and continued, “Salted fish turned over, isn’t it, turning over is great, even if I turned over, I would still fire you !"

The dried fish lying on the gun wept silently and did not speak.

The corners of Yinie's mouth twitched, and she walked over from behind
